Drink-driver had one sip too many
LADIES r I FESTIVE > FESTIVE SHOE os-
POLICE tipped off about a possible drink-driver leaving Wilpshire Golf Club stopped a 58-year-old Clitheroe man as he neared his home. Blackburn magistrates heard
that Robert William Harrison, a former captain of the club, narrowly failed a breathalyser and a subsequent blood test gave a reading of 82 against the legal limit of SO. But defence solicitor Robin
MENS' GOLF GIFTS
Phoenix said the tiny amount - “taking communion wine at church would make the differ ence” - meant that Harrison would be banned from drmng
for three years and would lose his job. Harrison, of Holme Hill,
Clitheroe, pleaded guilty to drmng with excess alcohol. He was fined £500 with £50 costs and disqualified for three years - the minimum ban due to a premous excess alcohol convic tion in September 2003. Mr Phoenix said Harrison’s
reading on the breathalyser had been 40. “At 39 the police do not pros
ecute, at 40 they do,” said Mr Phoenix. “I gave you the exam ple of a sip of communion wine and it really was that close.”

Driver forged insurance note
A CLITHEROE driver, stopped in Littlemoor Road, produced a forged insurance cover note at the police station. Blackburn magistrates
heard that Paul Bialecki (36), had changed a “7” into a “2” to suggest he was covered when he was driving on October 4th. Bialecki, of Whittle
Close, pleaded guilty to driving without insurance and forging an insurance document. He was fined £500 with £60 costs and his licence endorsed with six points. Clare Knight (defending) there had been a legitimate insurance pol icy in place, but because mail had not been for warded from a previous address it had lapsed. "After he had been
stopped by the officer he panicked because he needs his licence for his job as a self-employed plasterer," said Mrs Knight.

Eco-friendly Sylvia claims trade award
A RIBBLE VALLEY businesswoman has been celebrating after winning a top award for her efforts in international trade. Mrs Sylvia Hopwood (72), who runs
Ribchester-based “Recycle Works” won the “First Time Exporter” title at the East Lancashire Chamber of Commerce Export Awards. Mrs Hopwood, who lives in Dutton, has
designed an innovative, self-assembly “Rainmate water butt”, which is now being sold in Australia. The low cost, flat pack, large 200 litre capacity water butt features it’s own integral stand, a childproof lid with leaf grill and tap. Mrs Hopwood had to arrange for its manufacture in China, organ ise transport and set up the licensing agree ments with potential overseas distributors. Commenting on the prestigious award,
she said: “I am over the moon. We can use this award to open up the overseas markets. “I would like to thank Business Link East Lancashire for all their efforts. We have had
tremendous help from them.” Established in 1994, Recycle Works is believed to be the only UK company dedicated exclusively to the supply, design, manufacture and devel opment of domestic composing equipment. Its aims are to promote recycling within the home environment. The chamber’s director of international
trade, Mr Ed Murphy, described the com pany’s performance as outstanding. He said: “The Rainmate is an innovative product that h:is not been in the market before and there has been a lot of work carried out on overseas supply chains. “Many companies in East Lancashire are
very successful internationally, and some are major global players - they punch far above their weight, making a significant contribu tion to the region’s economy.” For further information on the products

Asbestos could be ticking timebomb
EXPOSURE to asbestos resulted in the death of an 86-year-old Clitheroe man. And a coroner said he feared there could be
thousands of people totally unaware of the "timebomb ticking away inside them". The inquest heard that Donald Gillan, of
St Anne's Court, Low Moor, was diagnosed as having a maesothelioma in 2001 after he discovered a lump in his chest. His wife Doreen said claims against IWH Howson Ltd and ITT Consumer Products Ltd had been settled since his death. She said her husband had a number of jobs
which exposed him to asbestos. Recording a verdict of death by industrial disease, Mr Singleton said in years gone by there was no awareness of the risks posed by asbestos. 'We have seen a great many deaths as a
result of this disease in recent years," said Mr Singleton. "I hope we have reached the peak, but my fear is that there may be many, many thousands of people totally unaware of the timebomb ticking away inside them."
Not guilty to harassing
SABDEN man Kevin Lingard (47), of Watt Street, was remanded on bail until January 5th by Blackburn magistrates after pleading not guilty to harassing David Warburton and Sharalyn Melton by verbally abusing them, taking photographs and waiting out side their address for an unknown purpose.
