100 years ago


SUPPORTERS a t Waddington Cricket Club were celebrating after their team recorded its first win of the new season, helped by Harry Smith, who was the top scorer with 26 runs. • Members of Saint Michael and


John’s RC Church held their annual pro­ cession. They assembled a t Lowergate and set out for the school just after 10. a.m. ® A professional athletic sports event


“ upholstery Reupholstery o f all types


was held at Clitheroe Cricket and Tennis Club. J. Sellers came first in the 100 yards flat race, beating some 39 other competi­ tors. • D. Lord’s shoe shop, in Moor Lane,


stocked a selection of adults and children’s shoes. The trader, based in Clitheroe, was advertising its new range of “Ladies and Gents’ Tan Footware”. • A variety of Whitsuntide festivities

Local food links help Edwin become a royal ambassador


Clitheroe supermarket. Edwin Booth, head pf the Pres ton-


S


based chain of Booths superstores, has been appointed an Ambassador for the North- West by His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales. The sto re made headlines when i t


offered a group of Ribble Valley farmers an outlet for their Bowland Milk initia­ tive. I t has regular regional food tastings


and has been extremely supportive of numerous local food producers, including Helen Colley’s Farmhouse Fare. Locally produced food has proved such


a taste success that it is now also stocked by other supermarkets, some of them


OURCING local food and sup­ porting local suppliers .has paid dividends for the boss of a


national chains but, undoubtedly, Edwin Booth’s policy has helped the local econo­ my, as well as contributing to the store’s success. Prince Charles paid tr ib u te to Mr


Booth for his commitment to responsible business and contribution to the local community. “When I visited his new wonderful arti­


san food store in Kendal earlier this year, I had the privilege to witness Edwin's hands-on approach and his deeply held belief in local sourcing and the rural econ­ omy, both of which are close to my own heart,” said the Prince of Wales. "Over the years, Edwin has worked tire­


lessly with farmers and food agencies to help customers to understand the origins of the food that they buy, and to achieve in his own shops an outstanding reputa­ tion for locally-sourced produce frequent-


LOOKING BACK 50 years ago


MEMBERS of Hurst Green Brass Band gave a sigh of relief after they cleared most of their outstanding debt. 'The band, which had been on the verge of disband­ ing due to a debt of £380, managed to find all but £40 of the sum to put it “on a sound footing”. • Extensions to the postal service had


been made, enabling parcels to be deliv­ ered from Clitheroe to places as far as Blackburn and Burnley, which previously had not been possible. • Students at Clitheroe Royal Gram­


mar School were given an assignment in which'they wrote about classrooms of the future. One pupil, J. Catlow, described a classroom with an electric fence segregat­ ing boys and girls, and including 3D cine­ ma screens and hidden microphones. • The first Scouting conference of its


kind was held at Waddow Hall, Wadding­ ton. I t was attended by the Mayor of Clitheroe, who conducted the opening cer­ emony.


THOUGHT for the week


HOPE you have been enjoying the recent warm summer weather, with plenty of sunshine and blue skies.


Some forecasters have been saying we are


going to have a long, hot and dry summer this year. Maybe you are thinking, “Great!” How­


ever, if we do, there may be a sting in the tail, and I ’m not talking about wasps! ,, After a drier than normal winter in some


parts of the country, we are being warned that we could be in for a water shortage like ’ 1976.


: . Water is an essential for life. In this coun­


try, we usually have plenty of water, so we use our water freely for watering, washing and rinsing, and even for playing ivith. How would our attitude to water change if it did become a very precious and limited


ly comprising more than 20% of Booths' offering. “In particular, I have appreciated his


leadership in chairing my Seeing is Believ­ ing alumni group in the North-West, and his unswerving commitment to the causes and charities which he champions, and I could not be more pleased to make him my Ambassador." Mr Booth is chairman of E.H. Booth


and Co Ltd, one of the last family-owned supermarkets in th e UK. He is also a trustee and vice-chairman of the Lan­ cashire-based Harris Charity, which helps disadvantaged children, and a key sup­ porter of Business in the Community's rural agenda. The Ambassador Award is p a r t of BITC's N a t io n a l Awards for Excellence, which recognise companies for excellence in the way they operate and make a positive impact on society.


Albert is the parishes’ champion


PARISH councils in Lancashire now have a new voice in the corri­ dors of power a t Lancashire County (iouncil - and their new “champion” could scarcely be bet­ ter qualified. ■With 17 parish councils in his


im


Ribble Valley North East divi­ sion, County Coun. Albert Atkin­ son already spends much of his free time meeting what is often seen as the lowest level of local government in England. Coun Atkinson (pictured) is


deputy leader of Lancashire County Council Conservatives and has been appointed as the


authority’s new “Champion for Parishes”. He said: “I used to represent 21


parishes, so I know the good work that parish councillors do. They are usually non-political and work only for the good of their area. They are people who deserve every encouragement and I plan to represent their interests a t County Hall, which provides serv­ ices such as schools, transport and social care within the parishes. “Parishes are an historic form of


local democracy in action and one which Lancashire County Council wishes to encourage.

SCHOOL leavers faced a frustrating time as the Ribble Valley experienced its worst job shortage for 20 years. The number of school leavers registered for employment was double the previous year, but there were fewer jobs available. I t was described as a heartbreaking time for school leavers. • Two residents from a home for the


elderly in Clitheroe made history after announcing their engagement. The pro­ posal from 81-year-old Alfred Green to his wife-to-be, 75-year-old Edith Cain, came as a pleasant surprise for staff and resi­ dents a t Castleford, being the first resi­ dents from the home, in Queen’s Road, to announce plans to marry. • A pedestrian crossing was installed on


Clitheroe’s “danger road” following per­ sistent pressure by the public and Ribble Valley Borough Council. Protesters had been campaigning for the crossing on the Queensway inner bypass, and it was pro­ vided at the junction with Pendle Road and Shawbridge Street.


The water of life


resource? We would have to prioritise how we used it. Our first priority would have to be our drinking water, which we need to live. There'are some people in the world with­ out any fresh running water. Have you ever


stopped to wonder how they manage to live? Some people will have to walk daily to


their nearest well, which could be miles away from their home, to carry back huge containers of water. I t is not as simple as turning on a tap. Jesus once said to a Samaritan woman,


who had come to collect water from a well: “You drink from the water I’ve got to give and you’ll not need anything else. I t ’ll be like a well inside you, springing up and bub­ bling over with limitless life.” Jesus was not talking about physical


water, but about the kind of life we can have if we drink on him. ■ If we are thirsty for life to the full, then


we need look at what Jesus offers us. If we accept Jesus’s offer for us to drink of the water of life, then we will be liidng as God made us to live. Our thirst for life can only be satisfied


through knowing God in Jesus and receiv­ ing his limitless liferThat life goes on and on, into eternity. Next time you turn your tap on, think


about Jesus’s limitless offer of life springing up and bubbling over. Do, you want to


plumb into the water of life? . MR MARK C. SLEET,

Music Festival, the talented 17- year-old (pictured) won first prize in the British composer class by a singer aged 17 or under. She also scooped wins in the


classes for girls’ vocal solo, own choice, set piece and was awarded the most promising musician award and the highest mark in vocal class­ es.


Jennie is a pupil a t Westholme School, Blackburn, and is studying A-levels in history, English litera­ ture, music and art. On completing her A-levels, she wishes to attend a music college to concentrate on vocal studies. Delighted with her


latest achievement, she said: “I am very pleased. I had a fantastic time competing at the festival and it is a great achievement to have won all these trophies.” Jennie, who is the daughter of


Sue and Brian, is no stranger to winning awards for her talent. Last year, she walked away with two armfuls of singing trophies after competing at the Blackburn and Darwen Music Festival. At Rossendale Music Festival,


she won the trophy for a folk song by a singer aged 17 or under. Jennie is a member of the Bar-


rowford-based Arden Youth Choir, run by music teacher Mrs Susan Eames. She is also a member of the National Youth Choir and has in the past won the Westholme School Musician of the Year title.


Terry’s painting gift to Trinity Watch out


ARTIST and tu to r Terry O’Toole has presented a painting to Clitheroe’s Trinity Centre, where his po p ular Painting Classes for Beginners and Improvers are now held. 'Terry recently moved his class­


es to the centre, on Wesleyan Row, from Clitheroe Library, where they were previously held. To mark the move he decided


to present a painting to the cen­ tre and in particular its founder, Geoff Jackson, and he knew exactly which painting it should be.


I t was one painted by well-


known Clitheroe man Raymond Pickup, one of Terry’s former pupils who has also attended the Trinity Centre many times. Terry explained: “I bought this


painting from Raymond in 1998 when he attended my class a t Blackburn College. “I knew one day I would find a


rightful home for this most charming of paintings, and now I have.” Terry’s classes are held at the
