Mum (58) dies after fall down the stairs
A BLIND and diabetic Whalley woman died after becoming con fused and falling down the stairs at her home, an inquest heard. Mother-of-four Mrs Jean Wear-
den (58), whose unstable diabetes was in its last stages, sustained facial injuries and a fracture to her right forearm when she slipped on the stairs in her home in Shaw House Farm, Clitheroe Road, on March 28th. Mrs Wearden was taken to Black-
bum Royal Infirmary, but died two days later. , Dr Richard Prescott, Consultant Histopathologist at Blackburn
Royal Infirmary, carried out a post mortem examination and revealed she had sustained bruising on the bridge of her nose as well as bmising to her left thigh and leg, multi-organ failure, ketoacidosis due to her dia betes and, contributing to her death, but not causing it, was the traumatic fracture from the fall. During the inquest deputy coro
ner for Blackburn, Hyndburn and Ribble Valley Mrs Carolsm Single- ton read out a statement from Mrs Wearden’s husband. Jack. He wrote: ‘‘On March 28th, I was
in the kitchen with my daughter, Jennifer, when we heard a bang from
the area of the stairs. Jean had become confused and started climb ing the stairs again. When she realised she was going
up the s ta irs , she tried to turn around and slipped landing on the tiled floor banging her head. “Jennifer went to have a look and
found Jean bleeding from her nose. We phoned for an ambulance and Jean was taken to Blackburn Royal Infirmary.” Recording a narrative verdict - a
short factual statement setting out the circumstances of the death - Mrs Singleton expressed her deepest sympathy to the family.

Prince Edward to visit Stonyhurst College?
by Faiza Afzaal
HOT on the heels of HM the Queen’s visit. last month, the Ribble Valley is preparing to welcome its second Royal visitor. HRH Prince Edward, the Earl of Wessex is con
firmed to tour Lancashire on Tuesday, July 18th. And speculation is rife that the Prince, in his role
as Trustee of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award, may visit the prestigious Stonyhurst College, to view the ongoing work connected with the award scheme. His visit to the county comes less than two
months after the Queen toured Dunsop Bridge and the Whitewell Valley on May 25th, as part of her 80th birthday celebrations. Her Majesty, who was accompanied by the
Duke of Edinburgh, visited her tenant farmers, before making her way to Puddleducks Cafe, Vil lage Store and Post Office in the Centre of the Kingdom - Dunsop Bridge. After a walkabout, meeting and greeting hun
dreds of thrilled Royal fans, the monarch made her way to Burholme Farm. Her Majesty’s final desti nation of the morning visit was a private lunch at
the award-winning Inn at Whitewell, where she was served a meal “fit for the queen”. Official sources at Buckingham Palace and

Stonyhurst College are remaining tight-lipped about Prince Edward’s exact itinerary. Earlier this week, a spokesman for the college
said: “We are not able to say anything about the visit at this stage.” This is not the first time the Prince has visited
the Ribble-Valley. Three years ago the Earl and Countess of Wessex were given a “right Royal” welcome by thousands of visitors when they offi cially opened the Royal Lancashire Agricultural Show at its new Ribchester site. Their eagerly-awaited visit also marked the
show’s return to its agricultural roots - a move wel comed by many visitors and exhibitors. Heavy rain showers did not deter the Royal cou
ple from enjoying an action-packed programme of events and shows. At the time. Prince Edward mingled with visi
tors to tour trade stands and spent some time talk ing to Lancashire Army Cadets and Duke of Edin burgh Award candidates. The Ribble Valley has also been honoured by vis
its from Prince Charles in January 2003, HRH The Duke of York in July 2004 and HRH The Count ess of Wessex in September last year.
Top marks for safety-first pupils
PUPILS from a primary school in Chipping were “highly com mended” for their ideas on how to make their school and local area a safer place to live. Brabin’s Endowed Primary
School, Chipping, was shortlist ed, along with 11 other schools, to go head-to-head in the final of Lancashire County Council’s Chairman’s Challenge. Pupils from each school had
to develop and implement their own health and safety plan for the school to encourage a' healthier lifestyle. They then made a presenta
tion to the judges about the long-term benefits of their activity. The chairman of Lancashire
County Council, Coun. Bob Wilkin^n, said: “I’m a former fire-fighter so I ’ve seen how fires, particularly in the home, can destroy buildings and more importantly can destroy fami lies. “I was very keen to make
pupils think about how to make their local environment safer, either in terms of fire safe ty and other areas such as per sonal safety.”
