100 YEARS AGO
A'WOMAN fractured her left leg after she slipped and fell while walking over Whalley Nab. Mrs S. A. Carruthers was taken to the doctors by a horse ambu lance to be treated for her injuries. • Budding chefs celebrated the end of
a cooking course at the Waddington and West;Bradford School. Conducted by staff feacher.'Mrs Lucas, the course saw a dozen adult learners learn the fundamen-
. tal rules of roasting, frying and .bread; frnidii^^Diinng the final lesson, a ^pper' "was prepared by. the students.-;': ,,' - ‘ • Cricket enthusiasts in Gisbum ’
looking forward to the arrival of _May and the start of the season’s matches. Their first encounter was to be on their own ground against Burnley third team.
50 YEARS AGO
WORK on demolishing Bolton Hall, one of Craven's oldest manor halls, began. The hall was beautifully situated in a crook of park land formed by the rivers Ribble and Skirden. King Henry VI stayed at Bolton Hall after the battle of Hexham. •

GRANDMOTHER Mrs Margaret Wilkinson acted on instinct when her youngest granddaughter arrived sud denly a fortnight early. Mrs Wilkinson eased baby Cheryl Louise into the world at mum Marion Fowler’s home in St James’ Street, Clitheroe., It happened after Mrs Willdnson’s daughter went into labour. and_ husband, Glyn brought 'grandmother to the scene from her bed. ; A- suirvey;.to find o u t ’.what new

\retbrt: “I.haven’t got time”, f ?: iTime is the great equaliser.'While we K may have different skills, varying mental capacities and different incomes, we all
’ have the same amount of time. It is what .we do with that time that is important, v'- So when I said I did not have time I
■
really meant that what you are asking.- me to do is not important. What I was really saying was that I have different priorities.
The wise person does not spend time,
nor do they waste time - they invest time. The greatest investment we can make is into the lives of people. We can-
do this by listening, by communicating,' by just being.
. . In these economic times the returns on
financial.investments may be zero, b u t ' the return on time spent with our part ners, our children even our work col leagues will pay outstanding dividends. ' Many of us can be victims when it
comes to time. Our lives are filled with things and activities that we think are important. Yet consider this: how much of what you are doing right now is going to count 10 years from now ...50 years
from now ...or for eternity? Finally, time is a limited resource. We may have differ ent incomes; but we all only have one life.
. When our time is used up that is it. 'That is why the Bible says; “Live life with a due sense of responsibility... as people
• who know the meaning of life... Make the most of your time.”-(Ephesians Ch.5 vs
- So why not stop fo rmin u te now ana • reflect on the way you spend your time. Are you making, the most of your time. Is there time that you just waste? Are you a victim? Who are you investing

"|l : t EPAL is a small country, far away, \ of which we know little, but last

■ .1, N ,week it burst on all our conscious ness because of its Gurkhas.
. Nepal is a desperately poor and back-, ward country and, when we English arrived there, just over 200 years ago, its people saw us as so advanced, so educat ed, so developed that they were prepared to do virtually anything to gain our favour. '
• ■ . ■
; >/That is why they encouraged the best, the strongest and the bravest of their
' young' men - those with the greatest intel ligence and initiative -r to join the British
.. army as mercenaries. Nobody likes put ting their sons in harm’s way, but the opportunity of serving so civilised a- nation’as the.English was not to be missed, even though it entailed significant risk of death. We English tend to be a self-deprecat
ing lot and we do not puff ourselves up that our civilisation is still so outstanding, 200 years later, that there are Nepalese mothers and fathers competing to offer their sons for military service, not to defend their homeland but simply for the

opportunity to become part of one of our national institutions. Until Tony Blair came to power the
Gurkhas served their 15 years and then, retired to their native country - or per haps to Hong K o n g -w ith a pension; which, though generous by. local stan dards, was only a fraction of that enjoyed by British soldiers. They had their money, their medals and their memories, but they retired to their motherland. Mr Blair did not think that was fair,
and he started a process which is still under way, a process under which their wages and pensions are being brought to British levels and more and more Gurkhas are allowed to retire here, not only with their pension but with the right to use the NHS, to have access to council housing
„ ^ l o c a l issues, people and places, J ,
and to have the full range of welfare bene fits. It is'a gesture which, at the end, will
- probably not cost more than £25 a year for every, man, woman and child in Eng-
.-land and; from reading the papers, it seems that the great majority of English people want to' pay the full amount straightaway. ' To me, the interesting thing about the
.. Gurkhas is this.' They are Nepalese citi- .' zens who’are members of the British army. In return for the Queen’s shilling,
■ they have promised that, if we ever decide to fight their motherland, they will fight
•; for us against their own people. We usually deprecate this sort of behav
iour. When a young Englishman, perhaps from Leeds, travels to the subcontinent and joins a foreign military force which might attack us, we tend to think the less of him, but the truth of the matter is that he is doing the same as every Gurkha. The only difference between the young
Nepalese Gurkha fighting for England and the young Englishman fighting for the Taliban is that one is fighting for civil isation and the other for barbarism.

Writers’ Competition, little did they expect that no less th a n ; ! I of their entries would be chosen for publica tion in a regional book enti tled: “The Adventure Starts Here 2009 - Tales from Lan cashire”. ; The Years 7 and 8 pupils were studying in their Eng-
. lish lessons how, in the Mid dle Ages, the Scandinavians used to amuse themselves by telling stories, which helped to pass the long winter nights. ’ . These stories were called
“sagas” and, like “Corona tion S tr e et” and “Easten- ders”, seemed to go on forev er..: „ .
