Missing art exam work turns up safe and sound


A MISSING art folder containing a


, year’s worth of work has turned up fol­ lowing an appeal in the Clitheroe Adver­


tiser. Maxine Mercer, of Clitheroe, contact­


ed us in a final bid to find her son’s miss-


. ing Year 10 art coursework after all other ■ . efforts to find the lost folder had failed. The work i t contained will count towards her son’s GCSE grade next year, but it was lost at Whalley Bus Station. ’ We featured Maxine’s last-ditch


appeal for help in. last week’s paper and were delighted when she contacted us


- this week with some good news. ; ■ “We.thought all Our efforts were in


vain and we would never see this art folder again, but to our total surprise a ]


■phone call on Friday evening made all I our wishes come true,” said Maxine. “A truly kind gentleman from Whal-1 ley had seen this folder at the bus stop


.and took it home with him. After con­ tacting a few different schools and not finding my son, he kept the folder just in case! ■ . “His daughter rang on F^riday evening after reading the plea and my son has


.now been reunited with all the artwork. This has restored my faith in human nature. We cannot.thank everyone enough.”

Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service currently employ nearly 400 retained firefighters who provide vital b e prevention and emergency response from 30 fire stations across Lancashire. It is iooking to recruit even more people who can spare some hours to ' help make Lancashire safer from fire.


Chief Fire Officer, Peter Holland explains more: “Retained firefighters are professional firefighters trained by Lancashire Fire and Rescue, but work oh a part-time basis. •


, Rather than being based at a fire station, retained firefighters provide on-call cover from home or their place of work. They respond to emergencies when their pager


■ alerts them, so must work or live five minutes travel time from the station. They may also provide a range of fire prevention services - from carrying out home fire safety • checks to attending community events.


•“Anyone can be a retained firefightb, as long as they meet the entry criteria and are able to report to the station withiii five minutes. Whether you have a full-time or part-


■ time job or are looking for a career that you can fit around child care needs, being a retained firefighter can complement many different lifestyles. When called upon, you ■willLecome part of a dedicated team of men and women trained aiid skilled in saving


- lives in your own community". To be a retained firefighter you need to


■ ; ■ • Be aged over 18;


•■ • A‘ live or work within five minutes travel time of the fire station you’d like to work: . : • ■ have good eyesight and hearing;


■ - •■


. • have the enthusiasm, time and commitment to participate fully in this essential emergency service;


■ - ■ ;•■ . be literate and numerate; ■ • ' . . s .• v. : .

CHE’WING gum busters at a Clitheroe school have been busy looking at a sticky street problem. For the past few months, pupils from


■Ribblesdale High School Technology' College have been investigating pollution tvithin their school and the local commu­ nity as part of their citizenship project. 'The ’Year 7 pupils decided to tackle the


growing problem caused by chewing gum discarded on the streets of the town by conducting a survey. Armed with clipboards, they took to


the streets of the town and found that people were not happy with finding gum on the pavements......... The pupils also won the support of


Ribble Valley MP Nigel .Evans, who will highlight the problem by holding talks ■ivith Ribble Valley Borough Council. . Miss Sharon Jennison, citizenship


teacher, said: “The pupils were very excited about the project and wanted to do something about the thousands of pieces of gum spat on to the streets of the town and around the school. “They worked together in groups and designed questionnaires. Out on the

much it costs to. remove it and began thinking of ways to combat the prob­ lem.” ■ : She added: “People find it unpleasant

in groups on init ia t iv e s promoting responsible disposal of gum. This includ­ ed the introduction of special disposal pouches, a tax on chewing gum and the invention of a revolutionary non-stick

council uses specialist gum blasting equipment to remove sticky and flat­ tened chewing gum.” Earlier this week, a spokesman for
