family history? I
Cwyou help with very interested to read a
Cll^proe Advertiser web page (Let ters June 12th, 2008) referring to my grandfather, Jimmy, Entwistle, (“Teacher who gave so much to pupils”). 'The letter also mentioned two pre
vious editions of the Advertiser, May 22nd and 29th, containing “looking back” columns which referred to the induction of Coun. Jimmy Entwistle. as the new town Mayor. As I am compiling a family history
account of Jimmy's life, I would be most grateful if you could provide me 'with copies of those two columns. With the help of Mr John Wells,
Clitheroe Town Clerk, and the Ad'vertiser and Times, five years ago, we did make contact with a number of people who remembered “Jimmy Ent” following a small appeal that was made in the paper for informa tion (Sept 18th, 2003). He certainly seemed to have an
interesting life - and I would love to know if you have any newspaper archives of his time as Mayor, or if anyone recalls some the stories he told about his time as an escaped PoW in the First World War. During the Second World War,
when he was teacher of Ribblesdale School, Jimmy had an engineer lodg ing with him who was working in Clitheroe on the first jet engine designed by Sir Frank Whittle. The engineer explained that they
were developing a really fast engine, but they had not decided what to call it ., I am told that Jimmy, being a geography teacher, replied that it must be named after the fastest- flowing ri-irer in the British Isles - the Spey. Hence the name of the famous Rolls Royce Spey aero engine. If you arie interested, I have
included a copy of a photograph, above, which I have inherited, show ing Jimmy and my grandmother Lil-
lian (Lilly) Entwistle (nee Sains- bury) as Mayor and Mayoress - but I'm not sure of the date.

Youngsters just
lack commonsense KIDS today have no commonsehse. If parents and grandparents were
not so busy saving for ever-increas ing council tax and other expenses to pay for work to the Castle and repairs to the damage done by chil dren, who knows, there could be a few more treats in store for the kids.

Gash to spend on fun for children
OUTDOOR play areas which give children fun, fresh air arid adventure are being planned for Lancashire. The county has more than
£ lm . to spend over the next three years on exciting new play spaces close to where children live, including equipped adventure play grounds.
. And children themselves will have a say in what the new fun areas should look like. The plans are part of the
government’s £235m. nation al Play; Fair programme aimed at developing play facilities for children aged eight to 13.
' ^wcashire County Coun-
. ci*Peading the initiative as a ‘TUaybuilder” authority and will be -working in part nership with district councils to establish at least 20-25 play areas across the county. L o ^ voluntary sector organ isations can also get involved. The new play areas - which
will cost up to £50,000 each- will be designed in collabora tion with children, mums and dads, local people and coun
cillors. 'They will be adapted for use by children with dis abilit ies’too, and sited so th a t as many children as possible can reach them on safe walking/cycling routes. Applications will be con
sidered by a panel of repre sentatives from national and local government, young people’s projects and com munity groups. Giving the go-ahead for
the process to begin, LCC’s cabinet member for children and young people Jennifer Mein said: “Adventurous outdoor play is something th a t many of us took for granted in our own child hoods.
Rain limits walking areas for members ■ “It is beneficial for chil-
’ dren’s good physical and mental health and developr ment, and through taking calculated risks while play ing they also learn how to stay safe. “Through this initiative
we and our partnere want to pro-yide exciting places where children will want to go to meet their friends and where
: they will feel confident and safe.”
THE summer programme of the Ribblesdale Camera Club, con tinued with a walk up to Jum bles Quarry, from the car park at Cross of Greet Bridge, riorth of Siaidbum. Jumbles Quarry is the place
where the high quality stone for: facing the Stocks Reservoir Dam’ was won, and the long branch of the 4ft gauge quarry railway was built in the early 1920s to trans^ port the storie. It was finally lift ed in 1961 arid the quarry con tains the only remaining track of
the 14 miles or so built for the project. I t also has the rusty remains of a Smith’s of Rodley standard gauge steam crane. Nowadays it is a good setting for natural history, record and picto rial photography.’ ’Torrential rain during the day,
together -with very long summer grass, made progress slow and it was no surprise when Far Costy Clough was’ felt to be too deep to be crossed safely. This meant that the crane had to be admired from a distance. However, the
walk did find plenty of minor industrial archeology and natu ral history subjects to photo graph and the return to the cars was moments before the heavens opened yet again! Information about the club
can be obtained from the chair man John Bradley on 01254 822921 or secretary Ken Geddes on 01200 423474. ■ ' Pictured by Ken Geddes is the

enstlancsncws.co.uk Recycling appears
rather selective AN important aspect not mentioned by correspondents to Reader Let ters, August 7th, is that local author ity recycling schemes appear to be selective: probably all of them nationally. Having looked forward to being
able to put items marked for recy cling in the blue bin, that action is frustrated by the selective recycling that appears to have been adopted across the whole country. No doubt driven by central goveniment incen-
.tives. Much packaging now carries recy
cling symbols. The burgundy bin carries a "None recyclable waste
■ only" notice (apart from bits of veg etable matter from preparation - as we don't have a green bin we would not consider contravening that, but some ■will). The blue bin has a sepa rate list of permitted items which could include some that may not be applicable (some plastics bottles). What are the enthusiastic people
who want to recycle to do with materials marked with the recycle symbol, but are currently excluded? A press report indicates that these items are actually valuable. Why is plastic packaging for food banned? ’What about non-food plastic marked for recycling? Individuals driving all the way
. along Henthorn Road and back are neither economically -viable nor envi ronmentally friendly. The “bottle banks” (now fundamentally redun-
dant) could be replaced by “plastics banks.” Even though they are refusing to
accept some marked material the companies which purchase blue bin contents are, no doubt, proclaiming their green credentials Even though RVBC has a couple
of years’ experience the scheme in Clitheroe is at an early stage and some teething troubles are to be expected. But emptying a “late arrival” blue
bin into a RVBC yellow truck seems a bit “off” as does perceived possible failures to collect both colours of bin from properties excused from deliv ering them to the "gathering area" (economics of isolated incidents can be appreciated). I had to clean out our burgundy
bin because the operator(s) decided to pick the bagged material out of it; letting some loose material fall to the bottom and not removing it. Clean ing took a lot more time and trouble than that saved by the workers.

Terrific toddlers
did us all proud ON behalf of Bamardo’s I would like to say a huge thank-you to all the under-fives from Lancashire who have taken part in the Barnardo’s Big Toddle 2008 this summer. Thousands of local toddlers have
taken part in the sponsored half-mile walk, enjoying fun days out with
nearly half a million youngsters from across the UK who have Toddled so far this year, raising funds for their local communities and Barnardo’s early-years work. Last year Barnar do’s worked with around 9,000 dis advantaged and vulnerable under- fives, including many living in pover ty and those with physical and learn ing disabilities. The Big Toddle 2008, supported
by Nick Jr, is hoping to raise £2.1m. ■with funds going towards supporting local Bamardo’s projects across Lan cashire, and throughout the UK. For those of your readers who
haven’t yet taken part in the Big Toddle 2008, the good news is it’s not too late! You can still help Barnar do’s to raise £2.1 million for our ■vital work by arranging your own Toddle anytime, anywhere. To find out how to take part, please'-visit our website (
www.bigtoddle.co.uk) or call us on 0845 270 9900. Well done and thanks for Tod
dling!
