MPs out of touch


with the real world WHILE many churches are closing. Archbishops unite against the British National Party. A democrat­ ically elected European MP is • banned from entering the UK- because he is npt politically correct, he criticised the Koran. Whatever happened to free speech? You can question all religions except Islam it seems. Bloated-wages for NHS managers


and council leaders. Bankers with six-figure pensions, political sleaze and outlandish expenses claims by MPs . While many pensioners and the low paid have to decide “should I eat or heat?” Then Government rub salt into the wounds by wasting £300,000 of our taxes proving that ducks like rain. Talk about being o u t . of touch with the real world. A jobs boom, but only in the pub­


lic sector - up 30,000 last year. More jobs for the boys equals more coun­ cil tax. Average annual employers pension contributions: public sector £4,000; private sector £1,600. Coun­ cil pensions may break iis all in the future. . And what does i t say about


British banks when councils invest our money in foreign ones? How much will that appalling revelation cost the British taxpayers in the future?


‘ - -, BBC “fat cats” giving themselves


. a scandalous £17.5m. in bonus pay­ ments. Peers allowances better than wa'ges. Politicians and bankers at the same trough all thanks to the gener­ ous taxpayers. Rome was lucky it only had one leader “fiddling while it came apart”.-Does anyone wonder why our political masters are now held in such low regard? Democracy is being stolen from us


so do vote on election day and make your protest at the ballot box. Let’s try and keep out the extremists who have, over the years, made this “land fit for heroes” into the laughing


stock for the rest of the world. . BERT HARDWICK

of Hurst Green I WOULD like to reassure both Mr Frank Nutter and anyone wishing to book the ABC Memorial Hall that the toilets are indeed of the flushing variety. , Whilst greatly appreciating Mick


O’Reilly’s loyal and unwavering sup­ port for this jewel in the crown of Hurst Green, even I was amused that he seemed to consider the toilets to be one of the chief attributes! 1 hope Mr O’Reilly was merely being over zealous in his compilation of the list of our fine hall’s many virtues and not offering insights into his own lifestyle! Finally, I would like to thank

m Children go potty painting!


PUPILS al a Clithcroc primary school wcnl poUr painting their own crockery.


Twenty-eight youngsters from Brooksidc Primary School took part in an after school pottery workshop. The five sessions wore run by artist Claire Tier- nev, from the Paint Pot at Back-


club. The home-side


■ was missing several key players, includ­ ing skipper Cross­ land. Stand-in skip­ per Nuttall won the toss, and decided to field first.


Robinson and Cherry opened the bowling for Grindleton, and got the home side off to a great start, taking one wicket each, and conceding just 33 runs off the first 16 overs. The visitors had reached 50 at the halfway stage of the innings, and the home-side appeared to have the upper, hand. The dismissal of ’Wilkinson, however,- changed the context of the innings.


■ Jacques came to the crease intent on


. causing some dam­ age. Boundary fol-


ridge Farm, Waddington. As well as designing their own plate, bowl, mug and pencil pot, the pupils also made special gift bags to lake their handiwork home. Seven-year-old Brook­ sidc pupil Milly Swales is pic­ tured with Claire Tierney at the pottery workshop. (S120509/G)


Nuttall was caught off the bowling of Mercer.


Debutant Under­ wood made his way confidently to'the middle to join Robinson. The scoreboard was showing 50 when Robinson (25) was out in the 14th over. The home side


- looked to be in con­ trol as Underwood; despite having gin­ ger hair and looking allergic to sunshine;, began to open his shoulders and pep­ per the boundary. A partnership of 48 with Middlebrough


, took Grindleton past three figures with 22 overs gone. Three quick wickets


: lowed boundary, as all the bowlers took ■ some punishment. Jaques (63) sup- portedrby Royle (26) and .Wilkinson (28) saw the -visitors.


’ post a very compet­ itive total of 201 for'. 9


After, the briefest of intervals- for tea Robinson and Nut- tall opened the bat­ ting for. the home- side.The score had reached ;21 when


: for the visitors, including Under­ wood (58)looked to have wrestled con­ trol '.for /H u r s t .Green.


Raw.and/Olleren- ' shaw though were not' going, down without a fight.' .


Both batsmen swung / the ■ . bat, ■ ' and Ollerensh'aw in par­ ticular, showed very


' nimble‘-footwork dancing down the wicket on several' occasions. With


: Grindleton edging ever closer to. the . Hurst Green total


and an improbable victory.. Jaques brought himself into the attack; taking two wickets in as many overs to snuff out ■ the Grindleton chal­ lenge. The Grindle­ ton innings closed on 178 for 9.


There were several fine performances for the home-side, including Robinson with both bat and ball, and a lifetimes best for Olleren- shaw with the bat.


However Grindle- ton’s man-of-the- match was Under­ wood whose half century on debut included 11 bound- • aries. ..

HURST 1 Plant ideas


There was.a good turnout of ladies to hear Tim Smith talk about “Plant ideas for your gar­ den” at the meeting of Hurst Green WI. Tim was a natural speaker, using no notes, but his colourful slides as prompts


he


described many dif­ ferent plant combi­ nations and encour­ aged members to look again at popu­ lar plants such as poppies and wild flowers.


He suggested com­ bining perennials and ■ annuals together and look­ ing at foliage to provide form and texture.


Mrs ■ Mary Mann • spoke with passion about the plight of


• the honey bee, in su p p o r to f .a 'W I


- resolution to urge /the Government to


; realistically fund • research into why • the.current num- ■ bers have plummet­ ed and what can be do to help them;


_ Mary, a bee keeper herself, had some frightening statis-


■ tics, the honey bee population is presently falling by


30% each year. Bees play a very important part'in the natural cycle of


- growing and repro­ duction, . their absence would cause chaos and very likely disaster in agriculture and world food produc­ tion. As well as sup­ porting the resolu­ tion Mary also encouraged each gardener to provide native species such as clover and black­ berry for the bees and anyone with a little room to con­ sider their own hive.
