Barmaid’s death: police charge ex-boyfriend
by Faiza Afzaal
A FORMER Whalley bar maid who was found dead in Australia may have been strangled, police claim. Ty Ronald Delavale (25), the
ex-boyfriend of Anya Patrice Campbell, appeared before Perth Magistrates’ Court earlier this week charged with her mur der. Anya’s body was discovered at
a house in the northern Perth suburb of Carine earlier this month - four days after she was reported missing.
Brave Linda’s charity boost
A BRAVE Simonstone woman has raised money for Padiham’s Big Challenge by facing up to a very personal challenge. Linda Gully, who was diag
nosed recently with lung cancer, had her hair shaved over the Bank Holiday weekend and raised £400 for the Mayor of Padiham’s charity. The Mayor, Coun. Maureen
Whittaker, is a good friend of Linda (58) and thanked her for her bravery and generosity. She said: “Linda told me she
has to have chemotherapy treat ment and so knew she would lose her hair. She said she wanted something positive to come from that and so decided to have her head shaved. “I thought it was a very brave
decision and very thoughtful of Linda to raise what is a fantastic amount for my charity.” Linda, who lives in Whins
Lane, works as a housekeeper at the nearby Higher Trapp Hotel,
Rock-a-Bye Baby
gets the thumbs up THE VALLEY’S first Rock-a-Bye Baby event drew families to Clitheroe’s United Reformed Church Hall. Organised by the Clitheroe Advertiser
and Times, and supported by Hansel and Gretel boss Denise Heap, the event drew support from businesses across the bor ough and beyond. As well as a fashion show, featuring
designer clothing on sale at the Hansel and Gretel shops in Clitheroe and Whal ley, there was also a display by a team from Danceworks. Goody bags were given'out and every
one who visited the event was entered in the free prize draw. Winders were, Sarah Meadows, of Chatburn, who won a fami ly day out to the Thornton Hall Farm Country Park; Jennifer Brown, of Clitheroe, who won free gifts from Fab Party Bags worth £50; Abigail Harrison, of Clitheroe and Mrs Nuttall, of Whal ley, who both won one child’s unlimited play at 4Kids, and Kate Tingle, of Clitheroe, who won a free sitting, valued at £50, from Lotties Designs. With face painting for youngsters, dis plays and information available from
Police were forced to break
into the Mathis Way home where they found Anya’s body in th e bathroom. Delavale was arrested and initially charged with one count of assault occa sioning bodily harm. At the time police announced
in a statement that the charge related to a separate matter not connected to Anya’s death. However, after further investi
gations, including the results of a post-mortem examination, detectives from the Major Crime Squad upgraded the charge to murder. During his brief appearance at
court on Monday, Delavale was not required to plead to a charge of murdering Anya between July 27th and August 1st. He has been remanded in custody to appear at a committal mention on November 8th. Anya, the youngest daughter
of Ian and Dee Campbell, of Warwick, in Perth, worked behind the bar a t the Whalley Arms pub for seven months last year while travelling around the UK with her 28-year-old sister, Sinead. She became well known in the
village after staying with her aunt, Mrs Maureen Board, her
uncle, Mr Malcolm Campbell, cousins John Junior, Karla Schofield (29) and her husband, Mark - all of Whalley. The news of her untimely
death saddened many people in Whalley, where the bubbly and outgoing Aussie made a lasting impression. So much so that a special serv
ice was held on August 10 th at Whalley Methodist Church for people to pay th e i r final respects. This was followed by an Australian night at the Whal ley Arms, which saw dozens of well-wishers a t te n d and pay tribute to her.

Q OLENIN by Vivien Meath
AS the build-up grows to the launch of a new film set to be a major block buster, the amazing work carried out by nurses at a Ribble Valley hospital
has been thrust into the spotlight. “Atonement”, the film based on Ian
McEwan’s best-selling novel, set during the Second World War, highlights the hor rific scenarios dealt with by nursing staff as soldiers were brought back from the shores of Dunkirk in 1940. Keira Knightley, pictured, stars as
Cecilia Tallis, who portrays a young woman dealing with the injuries. Calderstones Hospital, Whalley, was
one of the hospitals which dealt with the casualties. Hospitals in the south of Eng

recalled the horror she experienced on the day she saw the lines of wounded men returning from France on the first of many trains arriving at Whalley station. The retired nurse, who went on to marry
asoldier-cum-solicitor, spoke of the dread ful stench of gangrene, the wounds and mutilations and the enormous bravery shown by many of the amputees to author of “Fight to the Last Man”, Hugh Sebag Montefiore, writing for the Daily Mail. Of the 64 soldiers taken to her ward,
seven had to have limbs amputated. Another told her of how, out of a party of 250, only 17 made it to the rescue boats. Working seven days a week, discipline was to the fore. Dresses had not to rise

Hard work pays off as festival voted a hit
by Faiza Afzaal
MONTHS of hard work paid off for local youths over the Bank Holiday Weekend after the MVP Festival was declared
and chose to have her head shaved by Padiham barber Angela Gregson in the pool room of The Grove pub, Hargrove Avenue, Padiham, during an afternoon pool match. Linda’s team, Padiham ELC, were playing the Mayor’s team,
Padiham Kiwis, and her efforts even inspired three regulars and bar staff to have their heads shaved raising a further £120. Meanwhile, the Grove’s tug-of-
war team returned to the pub after finishing second in the Bar- rowford Agricultural Show com
petition where they were beaten by a team from the George and Dragon, Barrowford. Our picture shows Linda hav
ing her head shaved for charity watched by the Mayor, far left, and supporters. (T270807/9)

a roaring success. The grounds of Clitheroe Castle
came alive to the energetic sounds of talented local bands battling it out against each other by taking centre stage and hitting the high notes in front of a large and enthu siastic audience. Organised by young people from
Clitheroe’s Trinity Youth Club, the Saturday afternoon extrava ganza, held a t the Castle Band stand, featured non-stop music for two hours.
Youths were on site from 9 a.m.
setting up tents and barriers and putting up signs. They then spent the rest of the day assisting with stewarding or actually performing on stage. A successful battle of the bands
in the afternoon with sets from up- and-coming bands “Killing Cesar”, “Phlox”, “Adverse Cam ber” and “Beneath the Skin”, was followed up with headline slots from “Middle Finger Salute”, “Nightmare Visions” and “Green Days” as the sun went down and the Castle lit up. The music only stopped for a
rare appearance of a white rabbit, dancing to the song YMCA. The event attracted music fans of all ages. Delighted with the suc
m
cess of the festival, Mr Steve Proc ter, youth club manager at Trinity, believes local youngsters are help ing to put Clitheroe on the musical
map. He said: “What an amazing day!
Young people have worked hard to see their dreams turn into reality on this project. The festival was 12 months of hard work from them. “We often complain about
young people 'doing nothing', but these young people did something and pulled off a very successful event for the community. “I t was great to chat to people
of all ages right from small chil dren up to pensioners enjoying the event. Thanks to everyone who helped out and everyone who came to watch.”
