and local youth worker Steve Proctor (27), took these com plaints on board and allowed local youngsters to have a say on what they wanted and explained how it could be achieved. Around 70 teenagers from
the Clitheroe area got involved with the initiative and have had a huge input on the fund raising. In total, £30,000 has been raised for the project
As I see it by Justine Noon
thanks to the teenagers, local businesses and local organisa tions, like Clitheroe the Future, which donated a kitchen. A grant of £3,000 was also awarded by Nestle’s successful “Make Space” campaign. The initiative is aimed to help youngsters gain better facilities and a wide range of activities for them to enjoy in their local area. The bar, which will act as a
multi-functional youth club and he open seven days a week, will consist of a daytime eating and non-alcoholic drinking cafe, which will be open to members of the public and an

entertainment/“chill-out” spot for teenagers to come at night. The youngsters will have access to computers with broadband internet, which they can use to do their homework. The project will be run by
the local teenagers from whom the initial idea for the facility came, supervised by Steve and a group of local volunteers. Other amenities, which all the teenagers have had a say in

100 Years Ago THKEE Clitheroe teenagers were
summoned for the theft of growing beans from the garden of a house in the Prim rose area belonging to Mr J. W. Carlisle. For some time, the trio had been making their way into the garden and filling their pockets vYith the beans. The damage had been valued at Is. 6d
and the Mayor told the youngsters that if they again came before the court, they would be made to smart; he hoped it would be a lesson to them! • CLITHEKOE was packing up for
the annual holiday when the mills and workshops closed at noon for a full week. Holiday clubs paid out between £5,000 and £6,000 - about double the previous year’s total. The railway companies were offering every facility for visiting any part of the country and the day excur sionists were also well provided for this year.

WHEN there seems to be nothing much else in the news except death and destruction and the world apparently does not know which way to turn, it can make you want to cry out for a political saviour. .lesus Himself rejected that idea for Himself. So does the Bible give us any clues at all, as to what we should be doing? ■ Actually, far from encourag
ing us, sometimes it can put us off. We can fall at the first hur dle, especially if we are looking for simplistic answers. Jesus categorically rejected magic as
a way of getting people to do the right thing. Take for example, a story in
the Bible like the feeding of the 5000. Did it happen exactly as the Gospels say? A few weeks ago I was asked exactly this question by a sixth form stu dent at Clitheroe Koyal Gram mar School.' I remember saying some
thing like, “we shouldn’t let our anxieties about unanswerable questions prevent us from see ing Jesus and his compassion for everyone, not just for the multitude but for each one of
Stumbling block to belief or a window to faith?
us. Then, hopefully, we might be inspired to find His compas sion in our own souls for one another”.
We have in the Gospels a
treasure trove of early memo ries, strung together by a unique body of believers, who had a very real and common experience of Jesus during his earthly life, both publicly before the crucifixion and miraculously after Easter. We read in Acts 2.42 that they con tinued to break bread, share the stories and pray for each other and the world.
The real miracle is that Jesus
is not remote, but wants us to believe He is Spiritually alive within us, trying to meet our immediate needs and helping us to get through the chal lenges of the day together. So many times Jesus showed
great hospitably to people, not least to a penitent thief on the cross. The challenge surely is to share the hospitality of Jesus with our friends, the communi
ty and the world. Canon Philip Dcardcn, Vicar of St Mary Magdalene, Clilheroe
LOOKING BACK ONE one of the worst storms Clitheroe

had ever experienced, which produced the most vivid flashes of lightening and terrific claps of thunder in history, was named the “flash-bang”. People in workshops, offices and housewives on shopping expeditions revealed the “storm stories” in a manner reminiscent to bomb stories during the war. The villagers claimed that it was “the worst flash of lightning” this town has ever seen. • A DOZEN old folks were left shocked,
alarmed and marooned following a down pour of torrential rain. The senior citizens’ bungalows became surrounded by a “lake”. Fortunately, no water entered the bunga lows in Henthom Koad, Clitheroe, but gal lons of water filled the foundations. Several elderly residents had to be carried through the water to their homes, as the water filled to at least a foot deep leaving the old folk in a state of shock.

25 Years Ago A PUBLIC meeting to set up a Kibble
Valley group of Britain’s newest political party, “The Social Democrats”, was to be held in Clitheroe. Local officials were expected to be elected within a month of the launching and a borough council seat would then be contested as soon as possi ble. The meeting, to be held at the Starkie Arms in Clitheroe, was set to be addressed by former Labour MP for Farnworth, Mr John Koper. • WOKK had been going on non-stop
throughout the holidays on the multi million pound modernisation pro gramme, which would make Kibblesdale Cement the second largest cement works in Britain - and virtually guarantee con tinued employment and prosperity for the Clitheroe firm and area. The project - initially estimated at £22m. - was all set for completion in the latter half of the following year.
crime fight A CHAKITY golf day in Clitheroe raised record funds for a crime-fighting organisation. The event, in aid of the
LANGHO man, who joined Thwaites Brew ery on an initial short
months soon became eight- and-a-half years. “I never regretted it for a
single second,” said Mr Harg reaves. “Thwaites is a wonder ful place to work; a warm busi ness with an incredibly nice and able group of people. I ’ll sincerely miss the camaraderie with my colleagues.” Mr Hargreaves and his wife, Veronica, now hope to expand their love of fell walking and reading. He has also contacted the
East Lancashire Kailway with a view to becoming a general volunteer. Our picture shows Mr Harg
reaves raising a glass to retire ment. (s)

Lancashire Partnership Against Crime (LANPAC), raised a record figure of £5,200 - much to the delight of the LANPAC Manager Ian Groundwater. He said: “It was a won
derful event, played on a great course in beautiful weather. We had a great entry again this year and I would like to thank all the teams that took part.” Main sponsors were
Greenacre Honda, of Clitheroe, and Blackburn, who also won the competi tion with their team of Mr Graeme Edmondson, Mr Da-vid Colley, Mr Sean Wil son and Mr Anthony Shee han taking the trophy with 95 points.

T
lives in Keedley, has left her posts a t Sabden Methodist Church, Brierfield Methodist Church and Wheatley Lane Methodist Church after six years and was honoured by her parishioners with a farewell serv ice to celebrate her time in the area. Originally from Swindon in Wiltshire, Mrs Hardy, whose
HKEE churches in the area have said farewell to a popular long-running
husband, John, is a retired -vicar, said she was surprised at how beautiful the Kibble Valley, Burnley and Pendle were, and said she will miss the scenery and the people when she moves to her new home near Hudders field in West Yorkshire. Mrs Hardy, who has three
children, Tim (28), Hannah (26), and Ben (22), said: “The most enjoyable things here were the people within the area and the friendliness they showed, they have been very welcoming and open. The area is very beau-
tiful as well. Even when you are driving on the bypass you are surrounded by countryside, it is lovely. I have enjoyed my time here very much.” The farewell songs of praise
service took place at Brierfield Methodist Church, organised by the superintendent minister, the Rev. Keith Richardson. The new Methodist minister
for the three Churches -will be the Rev. Gareth Higgs who will be arriving in the area with his wife, Laura, to start his work on Fri day, September 1st.
OUK Looking Back column reference to student Miss Bar bara Hayhurst passing her examinations in pharmacy 50 years ago brought a request from a reader. Mary Leigh Miller writes: “Fifty years ago, Barbara
Hayhurst lived in Newton Street. Not only was she good academically, but also at sports. “She was number one player
in the Catholic Girls’ Club’s table tennis team when they won the tournament held in
Kibblesdale School about the same time. Does anyone know where she is now? I t would be nice to meet up again.” • If anyone can help, please
pass details on to the Advertis er and Times’ staff and we -will forward to the -writer - editor.
