Traffic chaos fears lead to decision delay
______ by Faiza Afzaal______
CONCERNS over traffic chaos led to council bosses deferring a decision on aerospace giant BAE Systems’ latest expansion plans. Plans for the £100m. scheme for
more industrial and office space totalling more than 100,000sq. metres at the firm’s existing site in
Salmesbury, came before Ribble Valley Borough Council’s planning and development committee last Thursday. If given the go-ahead, the pro
posed development is expected to create up to 2,500 jobs over a 10- year period. At the meeting, nearby residents
and members of Mellor and Balder- stone parish councils said while they were in favour of the jobs the scheme would create, they feared
the development would lead to the villages being clogged up with cars all day due to an increase in traffic. Councillors felt there was a need
to meet with Lancashire County Council highway officers to discuss the impact that extra traffic would have. They will meet on Wednesday to
discuss the proposals and a decision will be made at the council’s next Planning and Development Com mittee meeting on April 3rd.
Cruel thieves steal flowers
CRUEL thieves stole a floral display worth £100 from a flat in Sabden - just two days before Mother’s Day. They gained entry
into the flat in Padi- ham Road and made off with a 5ft. high dis play of white lilies and
orange and blue flowers in a galvanised metal bucket.
The village’s Com
munity Beat Manager PC Paul Sherratt is investigating the theft, which occurred appro.x- imately between 12-30 and 4-10 p.m. on Fri day. Anyone with infor mation regarding the stolen display should call Ciitheroe Police on 01200 443344.

began to run, he had no co-ordination,” revealed Liona. “In fact, he could n’t even run in a straight line.
“With lots of hard work
and concentration he began to run faster and i t ’s a pleasure to see his bulging trophy cabinet. His most recent win was when he earned a silver medal at the England Athletics Open Under 20 Indoor Championships at Birmingham earlier this month.” Nathan no doubt has a
bright future ahead of him and his family are extremely proud of him. Speaking of the family’s
sheer delight at his out standing progress, Liona said: “Words can't describe how proud we are of him. “We all love him to bits
and are delighted that he pulled through and is cele brating his 18th tomorrow. ”He has overcome so
much in life, but has always had a big smile on his face. “He cares so much
about people and has never let his psoriasis get him down. “In fact, he is always speaking openly about the
condition and is an inspi ration to other sufferers. “He is our miracle baby

games including Bruce Forsyth’s Play Your Cards Right”, a coconut
shy, cake stalls, penalty shoot-out and Mother’s Day cards for sale.

WEEKEND SPORT UPDATES S R O R t ;
School’s chef Kirsty tempts MPs’ palates
by Julie Magee
HEAD chef a t Ribblesdale High School and Technology College Kirsty Young took the country’s MPs’ ta s te buds back to school during a special lunch she cooked on Tuesday. Kirsty and five other school
cooks from across the country were given the task of cooking for 40 MPs, including Ribble Valley MP Nigel Evans, at a special can teen lunch organised by the School Food Trust. The first of its kind, the lunch
was organised to celebrate the recent progress th a t has been made in banishing the turkey
twizzler and other tat laden temp tations from canteens. The MPs sat down to a healthy
menu from which they could choose main meals of lamb lasagne, fish pie, sweet potato and lentil korma with basmati rice, served with chantilly carrots and broccoli. The dessert choices were rhubarb and pear crumble and fresh fruit platter. The menu was prepared to a strict budget of 70p per meal. The event was held in London’s
New Covent Garden Market, the largest wholesale market for fresh fruit and vegetables in the UK. Speaking to the Ciitheroe
Advertiser and Times before the lunch, Kirsty said she was very
excited, if slightly nervous, about cooking for the MPs. She added: “I t should all be
worth it, especially if they ask for seconds! I’m pleased they’re going to try the new school meals to see what’s being achieved.” After the lunch, Mr Evans
declared: “The food was fantastic. The cooks produced an amazing and nutritional meal and proved beyond doubt that it can be done. Schools must now look at sourcing their food from local producers. The schools, near Ciitheroe are surrounded by fairms and it is hugely important that they take advantage of such great raw materials on their doorstep,” he added.
Family in shock - why did our brother die?
TWO Ciitheroe siblings are search-' ing for answers following the sudden death of their brother on board a yacht in the Italian port of Genoa. Emma Hemingway and Mark
Johnson are still in the dark about how their younger brother, Simon Johnson, died more than a fortnight after he collapsed-on the £3.9m. yacht he was working on. As the vessel’s chief engineer,
Simon had travelled with the yacht to Genoa from its moorings at Antibes in the South of France. The yacht’s owner had decided to sell the boat and Simon was asked to “babysit” it. I t was during this time th a t
Simon collapsed, his body being dis covered on March 1st, although it is believed he may have died up to 18 hours earlier, shortly after he had a conversation with his fianefe, Elan- za.
They were due to marry next
year in her home country of South Africa and he left the conversation saying he would call and e-mail her back later. When he failed to do so, she raised the alarm and a security guard later found Simon’s body. An autopsy was subsequently
carried out in Genoa, but the full details of the report have not yet been disclosed. The findings of a toxicology report are also outstand ing. Emma (38), of Brotvniow Street,
said: “I t has been a huge shock. Simon was only here eight or nine weeks ago to attend his uncle’s funeral. He was otherwise very happy and looking forward to his wedding. “I still can’t believe that it has
happened. He’s always been very fit and healthy and was always doing lots of sport.”
Originally from Rawtenstall, Simon worked as a ski instructor at Ski Rossendale for several years before going to work on the slopes in
the Alps. He then went to work in the south of France as an engineer on boats. During his time off, Simon often
stayed with his sister’s family in Ciitheroe and will be dearly missed by his four nieces, to whom he was close. He was also a familiar, face at the Calf’s Head in Worston where he sometimes stayed. Simon’s brother Mark (51), of
Waddington Road, who owns MJ Car Sales, Wellgate, Ciitheroe, returned from Genoa at the week end after trying to sort out Simon’s affairs and retrieve his belongings. However, these, along with the
yacht, have been impounded by the police and will need to be collected at a later date. A post-mortem examination has
been carried out by the Blackburn coroner after the body was flown back home on Saturday. The funer al is to take place on Wednesday. Friends are asked to contact
funeral director Calverley’s in Ciitheroe on 01200 442020 for more details. An inquest was due to be opened
and adjourned yesterday in Black burn.
