Road safety hints for Brownies as they
learn from experts ■RAISING awareness about road safety was the aim of a special session enjoyed by a Clitheroe Brownie pack. Members of the St Michael and St John’s Fourth
Clitheroe Brownies were joined by PCSOs Claire Lang- ton and Karl Elliott, as well as Billy Bee. The visitors had been invited along as part of work to
complete a road safety badge to talk to the Brownies about their own safety when out and about, especially with the nights getting darker. The Brownies were given a number of helpful hints
such as learning their home telephone number and how the different emergency services can help in times of trouble. They were also alerted about the potential dan ger from strangers. On the night the youngsters also got the chance to look round a police van. Our photograph shows the Brownies, with their lead
ers and the visitors from Clitheroe Police Station. (T190907-6)

Drink blamed for ‘Hi’ attack
A YOUNG man making his way home after a night out in Clitheroe was punched unconscious when he
said “Hi” to another man. Blackburn magistrates watched CCTV
footage, which showed Steven Paul McLean punch his victim and then calmly turn and walk away. As he fell to the floor Matthew Whipp
collided with a female companion, Sarah Patchett, who suffered a burst nose. McLean (24), of Holden Street,

D.i "J
Clitheroe, pleaded guilty to assaulting Mr Whipp causing him actual bodily harm and assaulting Miss Patchett. He was sentenced to 180 days in prison suspended for 12 months, made subject to communi ty supervision for 24 months, ordered to
■do 200 hours unpaid work, made subject to a curfew between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. for four months and ordered to pay £500 compensation to Mr Whipp and £200 to Miss Patchett. Emma Keogh (prosecuting) said Mr Whipp had no idea what happened.
“He says he was walking along the
street with friends and the next thing he knew he was coming round on the floor outside Tesco,” said Mrs Keogh. “Miss Patchett has a clearer recollection and says Mr Whipp said ‘hi’ to the defendant as they passed. For that he was punched in the face and knocked unconscious. “This can only be described as an unpro
voked attack and you may feel the defen dant walked away in a calm and callous way, leaving his victim on the floor," added Mrs Keogh. Mr Basharat Ditta (defending) said
drink was the main reason for his client’s offending behaviour. “If you can tackle that issue you can
tackle his offending,” said Mr Ditta. He said McLean believed something
derogatory had been said to him as he passed. “Had he carried on walking he would
not be here today,” said Mr Ditta. “He had not gone out with the intention of inflicting violence on anyone.”

Tough start for ‘Roses’ bike ride
AROUND 200 cyclists battled their way along a gruelling 100 mile route by taking part in the British Heart Foundation’s first ever Lancaster to York Bike Ride earlier this month. The toughest part of their route was also the most beautiful, as they endured the ascents and enjoyed the descents through the
beautiful Trough of Bowland. It is hoped the “War of the Roses” bike ride, now set to become
an annual event, will raise more than £20,000 for the pioneering work of the nation’s leading heart charity. It began early in the shadows of the Ashton Memorial in Williamson Park, Lancaster, before heading out into the Trough of Bowland and across the country towards the finish line in York. The first rider to cross the line took about sue hours. Event Organiser Chris Legh said: “This was a great success for
a first time event and we really hope we can build on this and make the event even more successful next year. “To raise over £20,000 is a brilliant achievement and mil fund
vital research - research that could save friends and family from the pain of losing a loved one to heart disease. I t is only with your support that we can beat heart disease together.” Our picture shows some of the riders cycling through the Trough of Bowland on their way from Lancaster to York, (s)

Anna tests ‘must-have’ toys
A ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME opportuni ty has been experienced by a lucky four-
; year-old Clitheroe girl. Anna Everand became the envy of her
school friends after being selected from hundreds of applicants to become an offi cial “toy tester” for the day - putting dozens of products through their paces to reveal the top 10 “must have” toys for this Christmas. The youngster was appointed to the
expert panel of 10 lucky three to six-year- olds a t Rochdale-based toy company Martin Yaffe and was asked to trial never before tested toys. The lucky tots were the first to set foot
into the company’s on-site, custom built toy showroom and were given free rein to test out the latest products from popular ranges including Bob the Builder and Rupert Bear, as well as new concepts from Martin Yaffe’s Bom to Play range
such as ‘Odd Bodz’ and ‘Miss Wheelz’. Peter Hatton, toy director at Martin
Yaffe, said: “The play panel was a lot of fun and allowed us to find out directly from children, which toys they enjoyed playing with and why. “We would now like to share this
insight with uncles, aunts or family friends who may not know their ‘Dora’
' from their ‘Bob’ or struggle when buying Christmas gifts for little ones. “Anna was such a fantastic addition to
the play panel and had lots to say about the toys she was trialling. We think Anna should consider a career in the toy indus try when she grows up, with such a great imagination and sense of fun.” The inspiration behind the play panel
idea was a survey commissioned by Mar tin Yaffe, which revealed th a t .84% of children are disappointed with presents they receive at Christmas.
i v S Pupils’ charity commitment
MORE than 40 sixth-form pupils at Stonyhurst College have volunteered to help children, the elderly and local chari
ties each week. Having been inspired by the experi
ences of students in Glasgow, the volun teers have signed up for Stonyhurst’s new Arrupe Programme, launched this term by th e college’s lay chaplain, Sarah
Young. The programme is named after Pedro
Arrupe, a former missionary who tended the wounded and dying in Hiroshima when the atomic bomb was dropped and went on to become head of the Jesuits. The 43 Stonyhurst pupils will each
spend two hours a week working in their own time at special schools, homes for the elderly, charity shops and community diversity projects in Blackburn, Burnley,
Clitheroe and Preston. Their interest was awakened by pupils
from St Aloysius’s, a fellow Jesuit College in Glasgow, who came to share their expe rience of the programme in Glasgow, where they worked with the homeless and with SCIAF (the Scottish Catholic International Aid Fund).
Four Stonyhurst pupils, Eleanor
McClelland, Bethany Sharpies, Callum Jones and Winston Obi, then travelled up to Glasgow earlier this year to see the programme in action. Several speakers also came to Stony
hurst to recruit volunteers for their proj ects. Represented were: Lynn McCann from Hillside Specialist School for Autis tic Children, Carol Bunting from the Lit tle Sisters of the Poor Residential Home for the Elderly in Preston and Margaret Richardson from the Bridge Project, enabling children to appreciate and understand diversity in the community
in Burnley. Volunteers will give an initial commit
ment of 10 weeks and will have ongoing training and support from staff and the college chaplains, who will take an active interest in their experience, the highs and lows, and encourage them to persevere
where necessary. Each volunteer is expected to keep a
journal, so that they can reflect on their experience week by week.
