Funny man Phil is starter guest
by Julie Magee
RUNNERS of all ages an d ab i l i t ie s have raised around £4,000 to help Cystic Fibrosis sufferers by competing in the Amelia Cup 10k run. The run was held in
October when stand-up comedian Phil Cool start ed the family event, which" was supported by a 120-strong crowd of com petitors. Setting off from "V^^est
Bradford Village Hall, the run, which is now in its fourth year, was inspired by five-year-old Amelia
Dickinson, a pupil at Bar- row Primary School, who suffers from the condi tion. Organised by Amelia’s
aunt, Gail Bailey, of Pure Health and Beauty, Aimie Hamer, of Re:fit Personal Training and Samantha Dickinson, Amelia’s mother who lives in "Whalley, the event proved a great success. Funds will be donated
to the Cystic Fibrosis Trust, which helps the estimated 7,500 people who are affected by what is one of the country’s most life-threatening inherited diseases, for which there is currently no cure.
Amelia’s parents
explained th a t raising funds for the cause is so important because although Amelia is doing very well at the moment, her current state of health is down to the continuous treatment she receives. Despite her illness,
Amelia also took part in the event along with her older sister, Ellauise, seven, who is always there to offer support to Amelia and help her out with physio sessions and keep ing active. Two cups donated to
the event by Amelia’s grandfather, John Bailey, were presented after the race to Mark Townsend,
Digital Hearing
Nearly 15% of the population have a degree of hearing loss, that's 1 in 7 people in East Lancashire. The majority of people can be helped by the provision of a hearing aid, yet traditionally more than half chpose not to wear them. Reasons commonly given are that the Aids are too big and bulky, that they whistle, and that they amplify too much background sound. However, things have changed dramatically since the introduction of Digital Technology. Andrew Friel RHAD
B.Sc. of the Hearing Centre, Burnley, says "Modern Digital Hearing Aids are effectively mini computers within the Ear, that analyse sound, control volume automatically and reduce unwanted noise or feedback. The latest generation of Hearing Aids have a form of Artificial Intelligence, which allows Dispensers to apply new Audiological solutions, and deliver better

response to the event had been “brillian t”. They went on to thank every
one who had taken part. Our picture shows Phil Cool, right, with runners

speech understanding in noise without compromising on comfort". "Many Hearing Aids are now so small, that they are virtually invisible when in use as they fit deep into the ear canal, so people no longer have to be self conscious about wearing them". Hearing Aid technology has come on leaps and bounds over the past few years, and nowhere reflects this more than the Hearing Centre, Hammerton Street, Burnley. The centre is equipped with the very latest Audiological testing facilities for diagnosing a Hearing Problem, and sound booth to guarantee test accuracy. It is a family run Hearing Healthcare practice, founded by Mr Williarri Erie! almost 40 years ago, and also Dispensing privately at two of Lancashire's leading Hospitals. There are also full time branches in Blackburn, Blackpool and Lancaster. Andrew says that "Although the Hearing Centre is at the

Excellence award goes to Valley primary schools
by Duncan Smith
ONE of the county’s h ighe s t school awards has been presented to six Ribble Valley p r im a ry schools. The Learning Excellence Award
for Best Practice has been given to St James’ CE School, Clitheroe; Pendle School, Clitheroe; Brookside School, Clitheroe; St Michael and St John’s RC School, Clitheroe; Chatbum CE School and St Peter’s at Simonstone. The schools have all introduced Modem Foreign Languages - MFL - into the formal curriculum.
RillY Glass
, | f Mrs Margaret Carrington, head of
Pendle Primary School, explained that the heads work together to ensure that they employ a well quali fied teacher of MFL who is shared among the primary schools. “"We ensure that training and forward development in good practice is also shared and that training takes place for the staff of each school - some times jointly. The director of educa tion recognised this as “innovative” practice and made the point that when schools work together in this way - rather than as individuals - the benefits are certainly greater for the pupils.”
Sports for all
A GOLDEN opportunity is up for grabs by seven young sports enthusiasts in the
Ribble Valley. Rihble Valley Borough Council has
teamed up with Lancashire Sport to pro mote a programme for 16 to ^-year-olds willing to volunteer their time in sport for the benefit of others. The Lancashire Sport Young Volun
teers Programme aims to help young sportsmen and women complete 200 hours of volun tary sports activi ty, such as plan ning, coaching and training. The pro gramme also sup ports the volun teers by way of a mentoring process - each volunteer is assigned a mentor, such as a PE teacher, coach or club official - and comprehensive information packs. The council has
so far signed up 10 young volunteers. Two have already completed 200 hours worth of vol unteering and now the council is look ing for seven more. Its sports devel
opment officer, Peter Fletcher, said: “Participants will get the chance to develop skills, such as communi cation and leader ship, while building confidence and gaining a sense of achievement. As well as assisting sport in their com munity, they will also gain a valu able addition to their CV. “This is a fantas
tic opportunity for young people who currently volun teer or are interest ed in coaching, but require further experience.” More details are
available from Peter Fletcher on 01200 414435.
