Olympic Games. The contest was nail-biting and along


I


with millions of people in Britain and Paris, I was certainly on the edge of my seat last week in the run-up to the result being announced. It was our deadline day and w'e do not


have a teletision in the office, therefore it was very difficult to keep up-to-date with what was happening and every few' minutes I found mj'self logging on to the Internet to see who would lift the greatest prize in sport. The experts w'ere so confident that Paris


w'ould win, but with the extraordinarj' team effort involving hundreds of dedicated and determined people, including double Olympic gold medallist Lord Seb Coe, and soccer ace_ David Beckham, London won against all odds. A few hours after the announcement, I received a text message from my friend. It read: “You now' don’t have to travel


abroad to see all your favourite sporting leg­ ends. Start saving up from now!”

As I see i t . . . by Faiza Afzaal


New's of the rictorious 2012 Clympic bid


lifted the national mood and there were cele­ brations in Trafalgar Square and Singapore. How'ever, 24 hours later terrorist attacks shattered the joy of the British capital’s win. London cancelled all celebrations because


of the atrocious attacks and messages of condolence flowed in from around the w'orld. I have friends in London and not being able to reach them on their mobiles last Thurs­ day was very terrifying. Our thoughts are with everyone who has been injured or lost loved ones. I just hope the cowards who car­ ried out the atrocious attack are caught and punished. Last Thursday’s terrifying attacks may


have ruined the Olympic celebrations, but it was great to hear that the International Olj’mpic Committee (IOC) reaffirmed the blasts would not affect the decision to award the 2012 Games to London.


100 years ago


CLITHEROE and Whalley cricket clubs were gearing up for their big match on the Chatburn Road ground. The long stand­ ing rivals had been battling it out with Settle in the league. •T h e Clitheroe, Whalley, Accrington,


Read, Burnley and Padiham ambulance brigades held a route march this weekend. They all assembled together at Whalley, unfortunately due to bad weather the public attendance was only small. • Times Printing Works used the fol­


lowing advert to trade their business: “A prominent business man who valued his time, cut off his Persian cat’s tail. The business man realised that he spent one- minute for approximately 10 times a day opening the door to let the cat outside. He worked out that it cost him five working days a year to let the cat out. The main reason for this length of time was waiting for the cat’s tail to escape. After figuring this out he immediatley ordered his porter to chop off the cat’s tail.” The moral of the story was that people could save time and money by going to the printing works.


LOOKING BACK 50 years ago


THE holidays were coming up and Charles Clegg the chemist, which was sit­ uated a t 5 Church Street, Clitheroe, had everything residents needed for the sum­ mer. He reported to have stocked every­ thing from home perms and sponge bags, to travel sickness tablets. • A group of naturalists set out on a


hunt to find the elusive grass snakes on the Hodder Fells. Their search started at 7-30 a.m and they covered a distance of one mile on the upland slope. Unfortu­ nately their day ended in disapointment, there were no snakes to be found. • Fishing time was cut short on the


river, restricted to the late-evening and after dark. This was due to bathers flock­ ing to the cool waters to escape a minor heat wave. Salmon were also lacking in the upper reaches because of the low river lev­ els. • The Bishop of Blackburn met the Rt


Rev. W. H. Baddeley and his wife along w'ith 200 members of the Whalley Abbey Fellowship for a garden party.


It will be the first time the Olj'mpics have


been held in Britain since 1948 and everyone needs to remain positive and to remember that in seven j'ears’ time the best city in the w'orld w'ill host the best sporting event in the world. It is expected to cost £1.5billion to run the


games in addition to £560m. for an Olj'mpic stadium, £650m. for the athletes’ \'illage and an estimated £200m. on security. How'ever, it will be worthw'hile and inspire the next generation of children to take up sport. I am sure that many pupils in schools


across the Ribble Valley have started tc think about the games. The Olympics will play a big part in keeping children active and should have a major impact on improving children’s health. It w'ill definitely encourage people to get involved in sport and physical activity. In 2012,1 will be in my early 30s and I intend to start saving now' to ensure that I can go to London and watch athletes from across the world competing for pres­ tigious medals. It w'ill be a time of pure joy, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for some and one that \vill see the nation celebrating sporting success.

CELEBRATIONS took place a t St Leonard’s Church, in Langho for the cente­ nary celebrations and crowning day. Begin­ ning her year of office as Billington and Langho rose queen was Pamela Chadwick. The 13-year-old, who lived in York Lane,


Langho, was attended in her procession by church choir. Brownies, Guides, Cubs, Scouts and members of the Mothers’ Union. • Fifteen workers at Clitheroe’s Stalwart


Dyeing Company were made redundant due to the trade recession which was hitting industries throughout the region. The deci­ sion was said by the firm’s managing direc­ tor to have been taken with regret, but had been forced on the company through a fall- off in the demand for carpets. • Spain was the favourite destination for


Ribble Valley holidaymakers. With the annual exodus about to start, the sunny country was still the number one hot-spot, despite reports that the resort was loosing its charm through rising prices and politi­ cal troubles.


21st Century religion


sion of this may be that you can only worship yourself, or some other human being. This is exactly what many people are doing. • Avoid religions which have


fixed rules of behaviour. Our modern competitive world has outgrown the narrow-minded morality of previous ages. You need absolute freedom to be as dishonest and immoral as you like. • Choose a religion which is


thoroughly spiritual and which has nothing to do with how you spend your money. This is par­ ticularly important in view of


the fact th a t the followers of some religions willingly pay as much as 10% of their net income for the promotion of their beliefs or for humanitarian causes. ® Avoid religions which make


great demands. Twenty-first century people are tied to work schedules in order to maintain a high standard of living. Sport and hobbies, drink and sex claim whatever time is left. Religion should never interfere with work, or invade leisure time. • Choose a religion which fits


in with your own inclinations, and which gives life the meaning th a t you want i t to have.


Whether its “tru e ” or not is quite beside the point, and his­ toric facts are irrelevant. Nobody has the right to tell you what to believe or what to do. You need a religion which sup­ ports your own private preju­ dice, and this will protect you from unpleasant truth-claims, and avoid the necessity of mak­ ing difficult decisions. This kind of religion makes life


much easier until you die - and after that you won’t need a god. Or will you?

Master chef is mustard in the kitchen


YOUNG Chef of the Year Matthew Birtwistle is starting his chosen career in fine style by coming fifth in a competition in which 800 budding cooks took part. Sixteen-year-old Matthew works part-time at


the White Bull, in Gisburn, and in September will start a tivo-year catering course at Nelson and Colne College, taking an NVQ in food prepa­ ration and cooking, perhaps going on to learn all aspects of the hotel trade. After winning heat one at his school West


Craven High Technology College, the final of the competition was held in Blackburn Catering College. Matthew had to devise a three-course menu for two people, including costing the meal and researching its nutritional value. He also had to choose a celebrity for whom to cook. He chose the actor Sylvester Stallone, best known for his role as the boxer Rocky Balboa and devised an Italian menu rich in the right nutrients for a boxer’s diet. The three-course meal had to be prepared in a


time limit of two hours and with a budget of £8 per head. To take part he also had to chose an assistant to work along side him. This was a school friend. Heather Faulkner, a complete novice at cooking. His first course was the classic Italian soup


minestrone, followed by fresh home-made tagli- atelle pasta, breast of chicken cooked un-papiot (in a parcel), with a rich tomato sauce. His dessert was iced banana mousse, guaranteed a knockout. All the equipment as well as the food was


transported to the college by Matthew’s domes­ tic science teacher and as the starting time approached Matthew became more and more nervous of the big challenge ahead. His assistant. Heather, who says that until she


started cooking with Matthew she could not even open a tin, was put in charge of making the fresh pasta and, according to Matthew, created the perfect tagliatelle. Matthew’s love of cooking came about quite


by chance when he started work two years ago washing-up at the White Bull, Gisburn. Owner Kathryn Bache needed an extra pair of hands in the kitchen and asked Matthew to help prepare some s tarters . He enjoyed it and gradually became more involved in learning the skills and the preparation of food. Matthew, who says he really appreciates the


encouragement given by Mrs Bache, lives in Barnoldswick with his parents, Stephen and Tracey Birtwistle, and his sister, Rebecca. (B040705/3)


Society offers photos to library


THE town’s operatic and dramatic society has donat­ ed framed photographs of characters from their pro­ ductions to Clitheroe Library. The photographs date


from 1924 to 1936, and fea­ ture Mrs May Veevers, nee Tarver, in her various roles, sometimes with another member of the cast. They were donated some


time ago by the grandson of Mrs Veevers, Mr David


Swales and the pictures appear to be hand-tinted photographs. Although only one of the


photographs is signed, they are probably the work of a Clitheroe photographer, T. Hargreaves, referred to above, who had his offices in King Lane, where the present Clitheroe Advertis­ er and Times offices are. Staff at the library have


managed to date and name all the characters and the


musicals th a t were not already identified, using back copies of the paper. There is an archive of


programmes from the soci­ e ty ’s productions a t the library, but unfortunately, they s ta r t a t a later date than the photographs. If anyone would like to


let the library borrow any programmes they do not have in stock, staff would be pleased to photocopy them.


Brief Encounter for USA members


MEMBERS of Clitheroe U3A recently enjoyed a “Brief Encounter” with Carn- forth Station when Peter Yates MBE gave an interesting account of how the station was restored and described the complex as it is now. He regaled members with numerous


amusing anecdotes, relating both to pas­ sengers and to unexpected occurrences which have taken place over the past month. On Tuesday a t 2-30 p.mmembers to


due to hear a talk on asset protection by Penny Hamilton. Visitors and new members are always welcome to attend at St Mary’s Centre, Clitheroe.
