Clitheroe 422324 (Editorial), 422323 (Advertising), Burnley 422331 (Classified) Putting their hearts into trek!


TWO surgeons from Whalley donned their walking shoes and scaled the heights to raise £300 for a worthy national charity. Trekking 9more than 26 miles, Mr and


Mrs Rob and Judith Salaman, scaled 5,000ft. to complete the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge in a magnificent 11 hours and 50 minutes. The superfit duo were joined by more


than 600 other walkers, who took on North Yorkshire’s famous 3 peaks - Pen-y-ghent, Whemside and Ingleborough -


to boost


funds for the Heart Research UK. Organisers of the gruelling challenge


expect the event to have raised a massive £71,000 to support vital research into heart disease. Mr and Mrs Salaman are no strangers


to climbing heights as this was the second time they had tackled the three peaks with Heart Research UK. Commenting on the challenge, Mrs


Salaman said: “The whole day was bril­ liantly organised. What better way is there to support a heart charity, than to get peo­ ple out and walking.”


Mrs Salaman had also invited her friend


Dr Marianne Cronin, a GP from Elssex, to tackle the highs and lows of the peaks for the first time. “The whole day was extremely exhaust­


ing, but I have an unbelievable sense of achievement. I certainly look forward to entering again next year,” Dr Cronin com­ mented. As the trio are from the medical profes­ sion, they appreciate the importance of the


work funded by Heart Research UK and also the promotion of an active lifestyle “We feel delighted to have supported a


deserving charity and would definitely tackle the peaks again,” added Mr Sala­ man, who speciales in vascular disease at Blackburn Royal Infirmary. Mr Derek Edwards, the charity’s fund­


raising manager commented: “We are enormously.grateful to them for working so hard in the run-up to the event to raise money for our charity, and not forgetting, the hard physical slog they have put in to complete the challenge!” • All the money raised wiU be used to


help fund research into the prevention, treatment and cure of heart disease. The charity plays a major role in the fight against heart disease and is continuing to make advances in this area today, funding £2.3m. of research at 32 hospitals and uni­ versities across the UK, including research at Manchester University and the Royal Liverpool Hospital.

and Mrs Salaman with Dr Cronin having completed the demanding charity chal­ lenge. (s)

its kind in the country - is aimed at helping police handlers look after their dogs when they become too old for the force. The founder of the dogs’ pension scheme, Mrs

Prison for theft gang


FOUR men who targeted a Kib­ ble Valley bike business were thwarted when the alarm was


triggered and police alerted. When officers swooped on the


scene, the four fled on foot, but were traced by the police helicopter. Sean Pover (2 1 ) , of Holland


Street, Liverpool, Stephen Love (24), of Mintor Road, Liverpool, Louis Naylor (21), of Jarrett Road, Kirkby and Jeffrey Hamid (22), of Hargate, Kirkby, had been commit­ ted to Preston Crown court for sen­ tence for the burglary of K IK motorcycles business on the Pendle Trading Estate, Chatburn.


Hamid, a fork lift driver, was


given a 51-week suspended jail sen­ tence and 200 hours’ community work. The other three were sentenced


to two years’ imprisonment. Francis McEntee (prosecuting)


said the burglary was planned and organised. Mr Keith Knowles had left his


business secure and when police arrived they found a large hole cut into a roller shutter, a window smashed and bars damaged. He added £2,000 of damage had


been caused and bikes worth £25,000 had been removed. They were in or near two vans


being used by the defendants. Miss Clare Thomas (defending


Pover) said he committed the offence to pay off debts. Mr Ian Mercer (defending Nay­


lor) said he was the full-time carer of his brother. He had been offered money for work and did not ask too many


questions. Miss Bernadette Baxter (defend­


ing Love) said he had committed the offence to fund his drug habit. Hamid got involved, but did not appreciate how serious it was. Judge Robert Brown described


the offence as a serious commercial burglary, which was premeditated.
