Mr John Boocock, who oversees the chil dren's bulb growing competition, report ed back. The blooms produced by Sabden Primary School chil dren had been very good, with those at St Mary's RC School not as good, which led to some disap pointed children who had lavished care and attention on them. It was pointed out, however, that this was not down to any fault of the children, but due to an infec tion caused by a par asite known as the Narcissus fly.
After six months to a year, the PCCs of the churches involved will meet again to discuss the matter further and consider whether Mr Sterry will be made priest- in-charge on a formal basis.

Drunken destruction spree
A LANGHO man went on a drunken orgy of destruction because he was upset over splitting with his girlfriend. Blackburn magistrates heard that 20- year-old Mark Andrew Hartley smashed a shop window and then used a metal bar to smash -windscreens and back -windows of 20 parked cars. The court also heard details of the impact
his "thoughtless" actions had on one particu lar -victim. Prosecutor Mr John Wood said the woman had written in specifically requesting that Hartley should be made aware of the consequences of his actions. She said the morning after Hartley had
rampaged around Rogersfield, where he lived, her husband got up for work, but was late because they had to clear up the broken glass before he could get the second car out of the garage. He was late for work and because she did not have a car the woman was unable to go to her disabled parents’ home and do their shopping and cleaning as she usually did on a Satoday. Their son was home from university for the weekend and the car had been insured so he could wsit friends and family, but he had not been able to.
"I hope that Andrew Hartley realises that
honest hard working people ended up paying in more ways than just money because of what he did that night," she added. Hartley, of Littlemoor Road, Clitheroe,
pleaded guilty to damaging a window at the Spar shop and a rear windscreen of a Nissan Micra and asked for 19 similar offences to be taken into consideration. He was ordered to do 40 hours unpaid work and pay £3,532 compensation. Hartley, who works as a bricklayer, offered to pay the compensation at £100 a week. Mr Wood said the window of the Spar
shop was broken at about midnight on April 21st and the police then received numerous calls about damage to cars. Hartley was found hiding under a car and a metal bar was recovered from nearby. "The police discovered that 20 cars in the
vicinity had windows smashed," said Mr' Wood. "Hartley said he had done it because he was angry following a split with his girl friend." He said most of the -victims had returned
compensation claim forms and these came to over £3,000, despite the fact that most were only claiming for excess on their insurance policies.

client did not dispute any of the claims for compensation. "'This young man is devastated and
ashamed of his actions on that night," said Mr Prew. "It is of no comfort to the victims, but he has had a very difficult time of late." He said his parents' marriage had ended in
acrimonious divorce and his father moved to Saudi Arabia. "When he returned it was with his new wife, a fact he had kept secret from the rest of the family. "On the night of this incident, his rela
tionship with his girlfriend had come to an end and he had a great deal to drink," said Mr Prew. "That is no excuse for venting his problems on the victims you have heard about. It has brought home to him very succinctly that what he did affected peo ple's lives in many ways. He has moved out of Langho as a result of this amazing act of stupidity." Passing sentence, the presiding magis
trate said that rampaging through a resi dential area was totally unacceptable. "The letter written by one -victim could
probably have been written by the other 19 and people should not be affected by your reckless actions," he added.
