Clitheroe Advertiser &Times, Thursday, August 30th, 2007 7 a weekly look at local issues, people and places


to pursue single issue global causes, such as progress in health, education and the treatment of Aids/HIV instead of develop­ ing an integrated approach with a much greater emphasis on clean water and sani­ tation, the cornerstone on which all other development issues should be founded. This situation means there is a genuine


risk tha t the millennium development goals of halving the number of people liv­ ing in poverty by 2015 will not be achieved. The poor frequently put affordable


access to safe water and sanitation at the top of their priorities but, ironically, the


Deal with the killer issues T


he aid system is undermining the millennium development goals. International donors are continuing


As I see it . . . by Chris Wilcock


needs and demands of the poor, those directly affected by both deprivation and whatever improvements are brought about by multilateral aid, are not in any mean­ ingful way considered by the international donors. A good example of donors’ pursuit of


single issue “headline” causes is the inter­ national measles programme where 550 million children have been vaccinated since 2000, whereas little action has been taken to reduce the unacceptable daily death toll


LOOKING BACK 50 Years Ago


FIRE crews managed to avert a poten­ tially destructive blaze at Longstripes Farm, belonging to Coun. J. Pinder. Members of the Clitheroe Fire Brigade quickly progressed over the fells to New­ ton where smouldering hay, th a t had been set ablaze, was fortunately extin­ guished before the farm itself set alight. No damage was caused to the bam that contained approximately 30 tonnes of hay during the first fire of the harvest in the surrounding local area. • Two women found themselves under


attack as stones were thrown, deliberate­ ly in their direction, by a gang of violent youths. The potentially deadly missiles were


launched towards them from the field opposite in Low Moor - forcing the vic­ tims to seek refuge in the nearby Parker residence.

of 5,000 children due to inadequate water and sanitation provision.


Lack of access to clean water and sani­


tation is undermining human development and investment in this area is failing to keep pace with the overall rise of global aid and, if anything, it is contracting. The millennium development goals are


sure to fail unless international donors recognise that human development cannot be parcelled into separate chunks, instead, donors and developing country govern­ ments need to see the linkages between essential services and to shape their devel­ opment policies accordingly.

Lancashire. Chosen by the Lord-Lieutenant of


Lancashire Lord Shuttleworth, Mr Michael Kershaw QC, Mrs Christine Kirk and Mrs Elizabeth Parkinson, a member of the Lancashire Advisory Committee on the appointment of magistrates, will assist him in repre­ senting Her Majesty The Queen. They will help Lord Shuttleworth to


carry out his public duties, such as arranging royal visits and presenting medals and awards on behalf of the Queen. Mr Kershaw (66), who was the first

TWO of the Ribble Valley’s best-known hostelries were to be sold by auction at the end of the month. They were the Moorcock Inn,


Waddington Fell and The Ribblesdale Arms Hotel, Gisburn. The Moorcock, which was bought in 1980 by former engi­ neering company boss Mr Joe Holland, was to be auctioned with a reserve price of £125,000. The following day, the Ribblesdale


Arms was expected to go under the ham­ mer for an undisclosed asking price. • Police were hunting two men who


robbed a taxi driver at knifepoint in Jubilee Terrace, Langho. The pair hired the taxi in Great Harwood and after being driven to Langho, one produced a knife and demanded the driver’s overnight tak­ ings. They grabbed £15 from him and ran off.


Small touches - big effects


business and anything that makes it easier is always wel­ come. When we drove up from Nottingham the car developed a serious fault and we thought that it might conk out at any moment. Finally we arrived only minutes before the removal van. As we pulled up we were


amazed at how fantastic the garden and the house looked. Some people had worked really hard for people they hardly .know. As we unpacked, folks came and went, but left behind


them cards, flowers, potted plants, chocolates, cakes, meals and well wishes. I t was these small touches that have had a big effect on our lives and we say a heartfelt “thank you” to all. We know th a t we are amongst friends, that we are loved and welcomed. Jesus spoke about the king­


dom of God in small terms; the mustard seed, a lost coin, the yeast in the flour and a lost sheep. So often in life, in fami­ lies, community and the church it is the small touch and ges-


tures that make a huge differ­ ence; a smile, a shoulder to cry on, a helping hand, a listening ear, a phone call, the list is end­ less. Let me encourage you to


continue to do the small things th a t have a big effect and in doing so be open to receive as well as to give. I look forward to meeting


you here or there. God bless,


TIM THORPE,


Methodist Minister for Clitheroc Circuit

is appealing for counselling supervisors to come for­ ward to help. The Rev. Toby Webber,

training and will be active soon. Ironically, we are vic­ tims of our own success, as this leaves the area short of supervisors. All our present supervisors are working hard.” Janet Tinton, office man­


ager, added: “If anyone with a recognised qualifica­ tion and experience in counselling supervision would be able to offer one or two hours per month to help Cruse Bereavement Care, we would be very grateful.


“Although this would be


on a voluntary basis, expenses can be reim­ bursed.” Please send your name,


address and telephone number to Janet a t the Lancashire Area Office, Cruse Bereavement Care, Office 12, Croston House, Lancashire Business Park, Leyland, Lancashire, PR26 6TT and enclose a medium- large addressed envelope. More information and a volunteer supervisor form will be sent out.
