SOME 90 gallons of emulsified bio-diesel have been dumped on to the verge a t Settle Lane, Paythorne. The bio-diesel was dumped on Friday, April


27th, adjacent to a drain, but failed to enter the drain and was contained on the verge.


The bio-diesel had been emulsified and turned


into a yellow white sludge which leads the Envi­ ronment Agency to think that it was manufac­ tured incorrectly. The agency says that the substance can cause harm to the immediate environment and has a


serious impact on the quality of watercourses


and streams. Environment Agency Officers were notified by


a concerned member of the public and immedi­ ately attended and prevented the substance from entering the drain and causing any signifi-


cant harm. The substance has since been cleared from the scene. Louis Hunt from the Central Area Environ­


mental Crime Team is keen to trace those responsible for this pollution and is working on a regional project to deal with Bio-diesel and its potential impact on the environment. Anyone with information that may help


trace those responsible may contact Louis on 01772 714045 or at louis.hunt@environ- ment-agency.gov.uk.' or ring 0800 807060 to report. There is no need to give your name.

Green credentials?! don’t


somehow think so! I CAN confirm who did not receive my votes at the local elections last week. - I refer to the two hapless carididates who two


weeks ago delivered me a flyer trumpeting their con­ cerns for the environment, only to mailshoot me on the eve of the polls to offer me a lift to the polling station. The problem? I live a stone’s throw away from the


station. I \yonder w'hat their views are on CO2 emis­ sions and waste paper. Green credentials? I don’t think so.

TWO Jersey calves bought in the after­ math of the 2001 foot and mouth outbreak are now producing their own calves with regularity to set a clock by! Bolton-by-Bowland farmer Steven


Leemmg bought the two Jersey calves in April 2004 from Ian and Sally MacAlpine, of West Bradford. He had re-stocked his 330-acre dairy


farm. Swallows Ghyll, with black and white Holstein Friesians, but bought the two Jersey calves for his daughters, Sophie and Georgia, to help them get over the trauma of the foot and mouth epedemic. The heifer calves, born two days apart in

birth to an Aberdeen Angus heifer calf, then exactly one year later, on March 28th, 2007, delivered a Limousin heifer calf. The other Jersey, number 477, had its first calf, an Aberdeen Angus bull, on April 3rd, 2006, followed by a Limousin bull calf exactly one year later, on April 3rd, 2007. Steven, who cannot recall such a coinci­


dence before, said th e two Jerseys are always together, bawl endlessly if they are parted, and never get bullied by 220 Hol- stems on his farm, despite being half their size. Our picture shows sisters Georgie (left)


and Sophie Leeming, aged six and 10, with the latest two calves produced by their cal­ endar-counting Jerseys. (T140407/5)


S'


one Good Samaritan... MAY I thank the kind person who found what they probably thought to be a camera at the bus stop next to the Old Toll House in Accrington Road, Whalley, on Sunday morning. The item in a small black case was placed where it


could be clearly seen on top of the litter bin there. It was actually a kit for testing blood, which, as a


diabetic, I need with me at all times, although I have a spare in case one doesn’t work. I could have obtained another from the pharmacy,


but Bank Holiday is not a good time. Many thanks.

I was acting as a Good Samaritan after coming


upon an accident at the top of our lane where a deer had been involved in a collision with a milk tanker. A number of other cars had already stopped and


some of the lady passengers were very distressed and wondering what to do with the badly injured deer. I suggested someone telephone a local vet in


. Clitheroe, which they did and the vet asked the deer to be taken to their Clitheroe surgery. As I was alone in my car, not dressed up to go out


because I was on my way to the Petre Arms Waste Disposal Unit with my rubbish, I offered to take the deer to the vets. I had to empty my car to accommodate the large


animal and I left the rubbish covering the tool box in the ditch. I duly delivered the deer to the veterinary surgery and then returned immediately to collect my belongings only to find my tool box had disappeared.

A rallying cry to repair


damage done to sculpture I WAS recently a member of the “Clitheroe the Future” executive committee for 12 months to cham­ pion its £50,000 public art budget. The Community Garden (formerly the Rose Gar­


den) and Labrynth in the Castle Grounds were enabled as was public art in Brungerley Park. The deliberate beheading of our limestone otter in


Brungerley is totally shocking and has a numbing effect on attempts to bring art in its many forms to the people of Clitheroe. The sculpture must be repaired and already


pledges have been offered by the public to this effect. As a member of Friends of Clitheroe Castle I have


asked its secretary to accept donations into its bank account for this purpose - meaning nobody gives money to the council whether here or anywhere else. I will do everything I can to put Humpty Dumpty back together again!

IF PEOPLE can be bollicrcd to bag up their dogs’ waste, n by can’t they then take it awav w ith them?


AS a regular walker on the Ribble Way between Chatburn and West Bradford bridge, I have noticed over the past few months an increase in bags of dog waste being left by the paths. Last week while walking with friends who are not from this area, we came


across several bags of dog waste by a tree near the bridge just 20 yards from the AVelcome to Clitheroe sign. These bags take years to rot away. The dog owners have gone to the trouble to pick the waste up, surely they could take it home!


Name and addrc.ss supplied.


What a marvellous welcome to Clitheroe!
