the name, rank and regiment of the fallen were placed around the village’s new war memorial during ; a ceremony organised by the War


: Memorial Trust Committee and . the Royal British Legion, to mark' the first day that people wear their


■ poppies in preparation for Remembrance Sunday. 7 Veteran seaman Jim Bates, who


was bom and brought up in Sab­ den, read the Kohima epitaph and the ceremony was also attended by the Mayor and Mayoress of the Ribble Valley, Coun. John Hill and Mrs Phillipa Hill. Sabden was badly affected by


m -


the two great wars, and a t one time during the. First World War the village lost on average one sol- ' dier every 12 days, devastating many local families. Campaigners lobbied for years for an outside war memorial and

■ installed in Sabden in April in the :'rose garden in the village centre.;. ■Before this, there were only memorial plaques in the primary school and parish church.


' Along with money from fund­ raising events, grants were given


from Ribble Valley Borough Council, Padihain Life, Bowland Tourism Environment Fund and the Forest of Bowland Communi­ ty Rural Futures. Mr Anthony Haworth, chair­


man of the War Memorial Trust, said: “We wanted to have the war memorial so people could remem­ ber this part of the history of Sab- deii. You have to remember what has happened in the past to under­


stand the present day and work towards the future. “The fact that one soldier from


Sabden was dying every 12 days during the First World War is hor­ rendous. I t must have been devas­ tating for their families and the people in the village, to have that sort of news coming in so regular­ ly, and this is why we wanted the memorial and to pay tribute to them.”


Business as usual despite massive blaze


FIRE crews bat­ tled for four hours to control a Gis- burn blaze. ■


The warehouse


at The Furniture Room, off Mill Lane, was engulfed in flames after fire broke out just before 6


p.m. last Thurs­ day. Mill Lane was


closed as fire crews, using breathing appara­ tus, two hose reel jets and two main jets extinguished the fire, which destroyed high


quality furniture valued at several thousand pounds. • Mr Andrew


Grant, who runs the business with his wife, Stephanie, said: “The warehouse' stored furniture, mainly sofas, and

“I t ’s now business as usual,” he said, paying tribute to the fire service


and police who he described as superb, and friends and busi-

said: “I t was well alight and the fact it was very windy contributed to the whole structure being : quickly, engulfed in flames. - “With, all the

Get boost


A GRAND day out is promised as Ribble Valley residents step out to a


healthier future. Healthy Lifestyle organis­


ers Zoe Pickard and Tracy Balko are working together to put on a fitness stroll starting from The Grand, in York Street, Clitheroe, and ending with a social get-together over a cuppa back a t the s ta r t venue. , The walk-cum-get-together is part of the “Stepping Out” programme put on jointly by NHS Eas t Lancashire and Ribble Valley Borough Coun-


. cil for local residents. I t starts a t 1-30 p.m. on Friday, November 7th, and will be about three to four miles, with everyone back at The Grand for tea and biscuits around 3 p.m. Zoe, whose post as Health


Lifestyle Co-ordinator is fund­ ed by the area’s community


and health


health provider NHS E a s t I^c a sh ire , has helped put on the event with Tracy, who is ■Health and Fitness Officer for the borough council. Zoe said: “We are support­


ing the event as part of .our, wider programme of helping people to keep fit and healthy and have a sense of wellbeing. “We aim to add a more


social aspect to the walk, as normally people meet a t a location then go. We hope people will mix for a cuppa and a chat before and after the walk and make it a b i t more of a social get-together a t The Grand. If i t proves, popular it may well become a regular starting'br finishing place for future walks.” • For more about Zoe and


her mission to improve the health and wellbeing of Ribble Valley residents, see The Val­ ley magazine, free with this week’s Clitheroe Advertiser and Times. -

WASTE food from the kitchens of a Ribble Valley Pri­ mary School is no longer going to waste at all. Now, thanks to the installa­


tion of a “waste digester”, it is turned into nutrient-rich com­


post for use oh the school’s own vegetable patch. Not only does this prevent waste and save money, it also teaches a valu-


• able lesson in recycling to pupils a t St Mary’s Primary ■ School, Osbaldeston. l t won a


£500 waste Action grant to - t r ia l the revolutuionary kitchen waste digester. .All food waste, including cooked food, meat, pasta etc., is fed into the digest^ and in just ax to eight ' week is ready for the school


vegatable patch. Although supervised by adults, the proj­ ect is managed on a day-to-day basis by four students. Our pic­ ture shows the fouryoung “eco champions” feeding the kitchen waste digester. (s)
