10 Clitheroe Advertiser &Times, Thursday, November 15th, 2007 A59: MP presses minister
THE Minister of Transport has been told of the dangers posed by the A59. Nigel Evans has written to
the Minster about what the MP describes as: “one of the most dangerous roads in the Ribble Valley.” “I raised this issue in the
House and subsequently in conversation with the Minis ter, Jim Fitzpatr ick MP. I have now written to him in order to brief him on the dan gers of the A59. “I have asked on a number
of occasions that money raised from speed cameras be used to directly improve the safety of this road. I have also called for a roundabout to be made on the A59 between Clitheroe and Sabden. “I t is something that I feel
very strongly about and will continue to press in order to get this issue resolved. Lack of money cannot be an excuse with the amount of fines gath ered from speed cameras. The people of the Ribble Valley deserve better.”

Rescued rider’s special thank you
SEVEN months ago the North West Air Ambulance was called to the aid of a Grindleton woman who had been thrown from her horse and sustained a broken neck - a “type two peg fracture”. To thank the service for air
lifting her to hospital, probably saving her life, Mrs Sally Harg reaves organised a ball at Stirk House Hotel, Gisbum. More than 280 people danced
the night away and expecta tions were far exceeded when more than £18,000 was raised. Proceeds from a draw
amounted to £3,700, with jew ellery prizes donated by the
evening’s sponsors, Humber- stones Watch and Diamond Gallery, of Barrowford. Following a champagne recep
tion and four-course dinner, with entertainment by vocalist Dave Hollington, an auction was held which raised £6,770. Among the items donated
were the use of a box to watch Manchester United FC, donat ed by the White family, tickets for the motorcycle grand prix given by the Rocket Centre, and Carl Fogarty donated a signed photograph of himself. Many other businesses donat
ed prizes, including Northcote Manor, the Craven Heifer, York
Medical Clinic, Maison home furniture store and Shackleton's Garden Centre. Money collect ed by Stirk House throughout the year amounted to' £1,250 which was also donated to the charity. Mrs Hargreaves said: "It was
a brilliant evening, everyone was really generous and the management team and staff at Stirk House were very helpful in making everything run smooth ly." Pictured is Sally Hargreaves

currently available for the strain of bluetongue circulating in England. However several compa nies have vaccines in development and these are expected to be avail able from next summer. In keeping with the
principles set out in the Bluetongue Control Strategy, livestock keep ers will be able to pur chase vaccine from the bank. Secretary of State
Hilary Benn said: “Whilst we are at the early stages of this out break, it is sensible for us to plan ahead and tender for a vaccine bank given the potential benefits vaccination could pro vide in managing this dis ease should it re-appear next year. ” Further discussions are
under way on how a vac cination programme could work.
Chef Daniel knows just how to excel!
YOUNG chef Daniel Thompson excelled himself in the Lancashire Hot Shots showcase event held at the
Spread Eagle, Sawley. Championed by the Lancashire and
Blackpool Tourist Board the event is aimed at profiling young chefs working within the hospitality industry and allows them (under the age of 25) to take over their work establishment’s kitchen for the evening, devising and producing a three-course menu for £15 per head. At only 19 Daniel is one of the
youngest chefs to take part in the show casing event. He has been working at The Spread Eagle for just over a year. While still at school he discovered cooking when washing-up at an Italian restaurant and within six months of working he showed a passion and a desire for food and was moved into the main kitchen preparing and serving the starters.

Italian flair as his father is Italian and Daniel was acutally born in Crema, spending three-and-a-half years of his young life living in Italy. For the Lancashire Hot Shot event he
chose an Italian theme serving soft boiled egg, fricassee of capers, gherkins, crou tons, pancetta with a bacon crisp and nutmeg sauce. He also prepared a starter of pressed plum tomato terrine, with a black olive sorbet and Parmesan cracker. Main courses were grilled duck breast served with beetroot carpaccio, chive potato puree and sweet and sour sauce or seared fillet of seabass, sitting on a bed of crushed new potatoes, accompanied by a tomato and avocado salsa. The vegetari an option was tagliatelle of wild mush rooms. Desserts were warm ginger parkin, served with a rhubarb ripple ice cream, and a hot spiced treacle sauce or iced amaretto parfait, accompanied by vanilla plums and a pistachio biscuit.

Clitheroe Advertiser & Times, Thursday, November 15th, 2007 11 Another decisive victory for Clitheroe Chess Club A team
A DECISIVE two-point victory saw Clitheroe Chess Club's A team record their second succes sive win in Division 1 of the East Lancashire League. They beat Crusaders A by
three-and-a-half points to one- and-a-half. Mike Houseman and John Rodgers both won very com petently on boards three and five respectively, and Philip Tittering- ton drew on board four. On board
two Paul Fallon pressed his oppo nent hard and spurned numerous drawing chances in search of a win before unluckily overlooking a crafty move by his opponent and losing. The last game to finish was
on board one, where Paul Timson, having won a pawn, brought the game down to an ending where the win was never in-doubt. The win takes Clitheroe up to equal second place in the league.
