Clitheroe Advertiser & Times, Thursday, October 20th, 2005 17 Firm’s equipment gift for school
A CLITHEROE company is help ing a primary school go high-tech and to say goodbye to the dusty days of blackboard and chalk. A £500 donation from 3M Clitheroe
has given Higham St John’s CE Pri mary School the extra funds it needed
to buy two state-of-the-art white boards for its classrooms. The interactive whiteboards allow
teachers to write on the surface, save the lesson to computer and print it off for the class. They even have touch screen technology to give teachers fin

gertip control, with the Internet only a click away. The company’s support came
through parent Alex Moir, a 3M tool- maker who has three children Ryan, Victoria and Kristina at the school. He commented: "I knew the school’s
IT department was struggling to find the funds they needed, so I asked 3M if we could help. The whiteboards are amazing - 1 wish they had been around when I was at school." Emma Storton, ICT co-ordinator at Higham Junior School added: "It was
a very generous gesture. The white boards are now installed and they are proving a brilliant teaching aid which the pupils really enjoy." 3M manufactures aerosol valves and
components for the pharmaceutical industry at its Clitheroe site.

HEALTHY eating habits at St Augustine’s RC High School, Billington, are starting to show some very positive results. In the words of one of the
school's catering staff: “We’ve seen a move away from chips with everything to a well-bal anced range of dishes to suit all tastes.” The proof of a salad, as with
the proverbial pudding, is always in the eating and the number of children buying lunches at St Augustine’s is per haps the strongest indicator that healthy food prepared in the school's canteen is getting the thumbs up. In the past, the school
kitchen served around 600 largely convenience meals each lunchtime, but since the move away from processed foods, fig ures have shot up with as many as 800 fresh meals being served a day. Rather than quantity, howev
?SFi
er, it is the quality of meals being served which pleases the staff so much. Children in the Billingtoh school are increasing ly tucking into carrots, swedes, broccoli, courgettes and aubergines. Every day there is a choice of

freshly made soup, a wide range of sandwiches, vegetarian options, pasta and a choice ol four meat dishes. The school no longer sells fizzy drinks and children can access chilled fil tered water during the day from the six dispensers located around the corridors. Speaking about the healthier
school meals, headteacher, Mr Anthony McNamara, said: “We are very proud of our catering staff and the fact that they were way ahead of Jamie Oliver and the knee-jerk gov ernment initiatives on school meals which followed his TV series.” Catering manager, Karen
Emmett says her colleagues get “real satisfaction” seeing chil dren enjoy a good, healthy lunch. She added: “We take pride in
the quality of what we serve and the appreciative comments we get from so many staff and children. The only day we still serve convenience foods is on Fridays.” Our picture shows Year 11

Solicitor’s mediation role
CLITHEROE solicitor Carol Maher is fronting a new Govern ment-backed campaign to encourage more people to settle their differences through media tion rather than taking their dis pute to court.
During Mediation Awareness
Week recently, Carol was involved in a range of activities from drop-in sessions to phone- ins. They were designed to explain what mediation is about, what it involves, how it can help and what benefits it may have over litigation - going to court. Carol is a partner in the
Church Brow law practice Irene Chenery Maher and Co. and has worked as a mediator since 1993. She said: “Mediation is routine ly used in countries such as the US, Canada and Australia, but its benefits are only now being slowly recognised in the UK. The Government wants to see more
of it and is sponsoring Mediation Week. The mediator is not there
a judge or arbitra tor to issue orders, but rather as an impartial and totally neutral bridge between the parties.” Mediation can be used to solve
almost any type of problem. Family mediation can help sepa rating or divorcing couples make financial and access arrange ments for children, while com munity mediation can be used for solving disputes between neighbours over noise, nuisance and other anti-social behaviour. Civil and commercial media
tion can help in disputes involv ing businesses, employment, con tracts, personal injury and negli gence, while consumer mediation covers rows over goods, gas and electricity among others. For further information on
mediation , contact Carol on 01200 422264. She is a member of the Family Mediator Associa tion, the UK College of Family Mediators, the Law Society Spe cialist Family Panel and Reso lution Specialist Family Panel.
