A CYCLIST sustained serious head injuries after an accident in the Whitewell area. He lost control and crashed into a farm building fracturing his skull and after treatment by a doc­ tor, he was taken home in a cab. . • The glorious summer weather


attracted large crowds of visitors to Bolton-by-Bowland to mark the 120th anniversary of the Amicable Society and the 63rd anniversary of the Court, ‘King Henry’s Wells,” of the Ancient


Order.of'Foresters.The celebrations continued throughout the day and in the’evening a gala was held in a field near the village.

The really good news is that people like Sainsbury and Homebase have decided to come here and have been determined enough to fight the obstacles put in their way by our backward looking council. I just hope it does not deter M&S from ' opening a food hall. I am already salivat­ ing at the prospect of shopping there. As well as the public campaign,


launched by Judith and Mandy Dawson, there are other forces at work in the town to improve its retail offering. This time it is two men, Rupert Swarbrick and David Ingham who are leading the field. Respec­ tively the chairman and director of the Kibble Valley Strategic Partnership, they


Looking Back .50 years ago


■ MEMBERS of the teaching profession were among those who walked in proces­ sion to Clitheroe Parish Church for a civic service to mark the first term of office of the newly-elected Mayor, Coun. James Entwistle, a teacher. O Brilliant bowling provided many of


the highlights of the Ribblesdale League holiday programme. At Church Mead­ ow, Kenneth Standring took nine Settle wickets for 41 runs to help Ribblesdale Wanderers towards the points. Frank


. Tattersall, the Whalley professional, claimed seven Padiham wickets for 14 runs, including a hat-trick. Harry Smithies the Clitheroe batsman, racked up a merry 87 against Skipton and com­ pleted Clitheroe's victory effort by tak­ ing three wickets for six runs.

SCORES of jobs likely to be created in Clitheroe were at risk following refusal of planning permission for the building of two access bridges over Mearley Brook. The engineering firm Econ Atkinson made the planning application jointly with a local businessman. • Kibble Valley Council was to press


on with a tree replacement programme, which in the last six months, had seen 770 planted in 16 parishes. They had been put up on verges in school grounds and in several residential areas. • Clitheroe Grammar School pupil


Robert Mansell earned a place in the junior English Alpine squad. He was preparing to travel to Val Senales, Italy, to train with the squad.

are pegging away at changing attitudes. In a nutshell, what they are trying to do is to


. develop a culture in which, when a big prize like M&S comes along it is ivelcomed - with open arms rather than with a series of narrower and narrower hoops through' which to jump.


-'-'www.cIitheroeadvertiserco.uk-A .. Retailing in Clitheroe, as I am sure the


, Dawsons will agree, is a funny old busi- ’ ness. Most of us, at some time in the last few years, have needed something at


. Homebase and, whenever we have, we have had to drive out of the Valley and take our money with us. The only reason for all that driving - and for depriving the Clitheroe shopkeepers of our trade on the days we left - was the behaviour of our local councillors who voted against giving planning permission. Thank goodness Homebase persisted and got their daft and damaging decision overturned! We must'all hope that Rupert and


David succeed in changing attitudes on the council so that more of us can do more of our shopping in Clitheroe. It’s a town we love and we want to shop there.


Amazing Grace IX tYEAR-OLD dancer Grace . Cameron is celebrating after winning


.; K j f iv e medals and two trophies at her ■ first festival.


; ■ Grace, a pupil at St Leonard’s CE Prima-


. ■ ry School in Langho, has been dancing for three years. She trains at the Angela Westwell School


of Dance four times a week. The daughter of Mr and Mrs Alastair


and Kira Cameron, she competed in the Morecambe Dance Festival against partic-. ipants from across the North West.


■


• Grace, whohas an older sister, Thea, and younger brother, Rex, danced in five sec­ tions - ballet solo, Greek solo, character solo, national solo and song and dance solo. She was awarded two gold medals and three silver medals. Judges also named her as the most prom­


A special medal to mark 50 years


A NABARRO medal has been pre-


i L V ' sented to a member of the Rib- X .Xble Valley diabetic group. Dr Geraint Jones, a diabetic consult­


ant at the Royal Blackburn Hospital, presented the award to Mrs Kathleen Hobbs. It is given to people who com­ plete 50 years on insulin treatment. After the presentation, diabetic spe­


cialist nurse Kulsam Patel gave a pres­ entation on insulin pumps as a treat­ ment for the condition. No bigger than a pager, the pumps


clip on to the patient’s belt and a nee­ dle is attached to the abdomen and insulin is then delivered a t regular intervals which can be adjusted at the touch of a button in line with activity levels. The insulin used is fast acting and predominantly for Type 1 dia­


betes. It is intense but gives increased lifestyle flexibility. -


. Patients are carefully selected by the


consultant only after standard treat­ ment fails to control their condition. Patient satisfaction has increased and the cost to the NHS has decreased. Kulsam said the advantages were easy to manage and the only disadvan-


• tage seems to be that the patient is dependant on a machine, but there are sophisticated warning systems built in. Following the presentation, Kulsam


and Dr Jones answered members’ ques­ tions. Kulsam Patel, Dr Jones and Gordon


Dixon, chairman of the Kibble Valley group, are pictured presenting Mrs Hobbs with her Nabarro Award. (A120508/8)
