Aries (Mar21/Apr20) You're a little on the sensitive side. There are bound to be times when your family seems over critical and doesn't have a good word to say about you. But they have your Interests at heart, and maybe you haven't made much of an effort to explain yourself. Sometimes arguments can't be avoided, dnd sometimes they can be productive. If it comes to the crunch, why not simply agree to disagree?


Taurus (Apr21/May21) In your more rational moments, you know the whole world doesn't really hate you. Don't fall into the trap of thinking that everyone and everything is working against you. As time passes you'll be feeling more positive and confident so play it cool during the middle of the week and gel prepared to forge forward with your plans and ideas as the weekend hoves into sight.

Ubra (Sept24/Oct23) Stop! It doesn't matter how much money you have; It never seems to stretch as far as you'd like. No, you're not making a good investment. That's just an excuse for spending even more. It's nice to treat those you love, but they don't expect it. if they knew how far you were stretching yourself, Uiey'd be horrified. Just think twice before digging deep or you'll end up in the red.

Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) We all like to treat ourselves and a few of life's luxuries won't do you any harm. But are you getting carried away? Whatever your source of pleasure, a tiny bit of self control can stop you from waking up the next day wondering how to pull yourself back Into shape again. If your fun and frolics are wearing you out and draining your bank balance now's the time to go for moderation.

Cancer (June22/July23) Are people talking behind your back? It's about time you got to grips with what they're on about. With the dose of clarity you're being given, you should be able to shoo away the clouds Intensity and suspicion that have been hanging over your head. At last you begin to understand what's been happening behind the scenes and it looks like life's going to get much easier now.

Leo (July24/Aug23) There's nothing you can't handle. It isn't ahvays fun at the Ume, and you could get a little worn out and stressed along the way. No big deal, if Uiings need doing, you'll do them, and you'll do them well. On the down side you try to do a bit too much sometimes. NoH>ne will complain if you take a break So learn to pace yourself, tackle one task at a time and always finish what you start.

Virgo (Aug24/Sept23) Having the knack of knowing just the right thing to say at just the right time helps the week go vsnth a swing. It just gets better as the days pass by. although it might not be possible to avoid putting your foot in it every now and again. That happens to all of us, and it's not likely to turn out to be too serious In the long run. Just remember to listen as well as talk; you could learn something.

Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) With your happy-go-lucky approach to life, you don't like to let on just how much people can get to you at times. They think you're more than a match for anything the world can throw at you, but every now and again it gets a bit much. Share your vulnerability with someone close and ask friends for the support you deserve. You'll be delighted and moved to see how people will rally round.

Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) This Isn't the most lively week sodally. In fact it looks like being one of those dull spells when the phone doesn't ring and nothing seems to be happening. There's not a lot you can do about it apart from using the time to recharge your batteries. Try to avoid throwing all your energy Into a vague offer. You wouldn't normally go overboard for this so why let boredom take you somewhere you don't want to be?

Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) A rift in a close relationship makes for a difncult start to the week. You can sort things out by dealing decisively with an issue that's been rumbling on for far too long, but it won't be easy. Try not to feel bad about it; disagreements are a fact of life, but once things are back on an even keel you'll find you have more In common than you thought especially when it comes to maldng plans for the future.

Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) No-one would accuse you of being practical and reliable at the moment You go your own way and do your own thing without being bothered what others think. It feels good not being bound by rules all the time, but sometimes you break those rules simply for the sake of it. It might be worth going with the flow occasionally just so you don't have to feel so nervous about what's coming up next -

Some memories of game


HELLO and welcome to this week’s World Cup edition of


Whalley Beat. It has certainly been a while since


my . humble scribblings have appeared in thdse pages, but I return to the village just as the greatest event on the p l^ e t is about to kick off.


For that reason alone, (and possi­ , ■


bly, becau^.it’s my. firat week b ack in the parish of Whalleyville, and knowledge of local goings-on is stUl a little limited), I will be dedicating this Week’s column to the World Cup! . Being a passionate follower of this


great nation’s football team may also have something to do with that decision! If you feel equally as excit­ ed about the big kick-off, please read on!


visit www.lancashire.police.uk. Sim­ ply pop your postcode into the field provided, click on ‘Go’ and the details of your local Neighbourhood Policing Teams will appe^. On this page, you’ll find photos


and contact details of your local offi­ cers, as well as the PACT priorities for your area and the date, time and venue of your next PACT meeting. • Come On England!


As life passes by, the experiences Speaking of football, and before


moving on, a few people have asked where I have been over the past few weeks. When I revealed that I had­ n’t been fired, there were a few dis­ appointed faces... as of course, my absence over the past few weeks was due to a recent operation. The meniscus on the inside of my


knee was shattered and trapped into my bony old joint! However, it’s now been shaved off and thoroughly cleaned out, meaning I’m now offi­ cially fit and ready to get injured and unfit again next season! Following the surgery, I have been


working at our divisional headquar­ ters, setting up the Eastern division section of our spanking new website. If you have not already had the chance to check it out yet, please


we live through form our opinions, comments and judgements in all parts of our everyday life. Ultimate­ ly, these experiences shape who we are and what we believe. With foot­ ball, it’s just the same as anything in life that involves feelings. Memories are created and are not


easily forgotten: the time and the place; the weather, the smells and the atmosphere; feelings of joy, delir­ ium, pride and of passion; feelings of desperation, disappointment, being cheated and of heartbreak. No I’m... not talking about a turbulent love-life... I’m talking about foot- baU. As an eight-year-old, I remember coming home from school some days and complaining to my mum about the boring playtimes.


A Welsh first for


“RHETORIC” pupils from Stonyhurst College recorded a first when they visited the new Welsh Assembly building in Cardiff as part of their A-level pol­ itics course. The Year 13 pupils were the first


school group from Lancashire to tour the magnificent new building, occupied in October 2005 and located in the prominent and pres­ tigious waterfront site in Cardiff Bay. Constitutional expert Paul Silk,


Chief Clerk to the Assembly, host­ ed their visit. The pupils were given a behind-the-scenes tour of the landmark building and wit­ nessed a lively exchange between Welsh politicians during First Ministers’ Questions. They also benefited from a


question and answer session with Paul Silk and a discussion forum with the UK’s youngest female parliamentarian, Laura Anne Jones A.M. The visit to the Welsh Assembly


was part of a vibrant series of vis­ its and lectures for the Stonyhurst College Politics department. A group visited the Scottish Parlia­ ment last term and a trip to the Houses of Parliament is planned for later this term. Pictured (clockwise from back

I said. Embarrassingly, my mum still reminds me of this scandalous comment now! My earliest footballing memories


were of losing in the Cameroon game and I can clearly remember the worrying feeling I had that we might go out of the tournament. I realised exactly what the game


meant and nervously, I sat on the edge of the settee in my England pyjamas to watch Gary Lineker bang in two penalties and send us through. Platty’s goal against Belgium,


John Barnes’ rap... and Adidas Samba trainers. What a great time to be a kid! And then the Germany game


came. There was no doubt in my mind that the good feeling in the house was never going to end. But it was not to be. Now I’m off to Germany for this


year’s World Cup, so I hope that my next colunm has a few notes about our preparation for the quarter finals. And maybe... a little bit of Whal­


ley Beat too! I t can be done... COME ON ENGLAND! As always, if you would like to get

science!


BUDDING Einsteins at Whalley Primary School were left spell­ bound after enjoying a non-stop rolling programme of science-


based activities. Youngsters at the school in Church


Lane, Whalley, swopped English and Maths for scientific challenges to mark Science Week.- And the fun-filled week was hailed


a huge success by headteacher Mr Brian Beresford, who described the five days as “absolutely magnifi­


cent”. During the challenging week,


pupils participated in circus work­ shops, created displays and demon­ strations and tried their hands at a number of exciting experiments. Some children were treated to a


stimulating talk by Ribble Valley cyclist Mr David Tinker, who explained the mechanisms of a bicy­ cle.


Others gained an insight into Healthy eating has


gone on the menu AT OakhilTs Acorns Nursery in Whalley, the message of “healthy eating” has already begun. The children took part in a Healthy


Eating Week during which a number of initiatives were set up including decorat­ ing picnic baskets for their lunches and making their own sandwiches by choos­ ing the ingredients supplied from a range of healthy options including fresh carrot and celery sticks, fruit, cheese, tuna and ham. Helen McGladdery, from "Smile For


Life", visited all the children to speak to them about the importance of healthy teeth and mouths. A cafe has now been set up in the role


play area promoting healthy foods for the children. The games played had a healthy eating theme to encourage awareness about healthy and unhealthy foods. One involved sorting a variety of foods into two shopping baskets -one for "junk" food and one for healthy options.

nity to visit Ribblesdale High School Technology College and take part in a special science class. At the end of the week, the whole


school came together for a celebration of the five days. Pupils came to school dressed as wizards, gardeners, mad scientists, cavers, pot-holers and mini-beasts and conservationists. Commenting on the activities


staged, Mr Beresford said: “I t was amazing to see how many activities were taking place and how children were involved. “I t was more like walking into a


university than a school! “The week brought together the


whole school, the pupils, staff, par­ ents and governors and it was enjoyed by all.” Our picture shows youngsters at


the school making the most of science week.(S240506/2)


B and B on national shortlist


AN award-winning Ribble Val­ ley bed and breakfast establish­ ment has been shortlisted for yet another prestigious award. Wiswell-based Pepper Hill


has been shortlisted in the bed and breakfast/guest accommo­ dation of the year category in the Lancashire and Blackpool Tourism Awards 2006/07. Proprietor Mrs Ruth


Collin^n, who has won a string of accolades in the past, includ­ ing the Lancashire Excellence in Tourism Award for customer service in 2004 and a “five dia­ monds” award for her out­ standing achievement during the annual meeting of the Rib­ ble Valley Tourism Association

against two other finalists from Whitworth, near Rochdale and Blackpool, to scoop the title. “I am proud to be flying the


flag for the Ribble Valley again,” commented Mrs Collinson. “Although I am feel­ ing optimistic and it is a trophy to have been whittled down to the bottom three, I don’t think I can compete with the big boys.” The awards ceremony will be


held on Wednesday, June 21st, at Barton Grange Hotel, near Preston, when the winners will be announced.
