as part of the ongoing “Explore the Ribble VaUey Line” (Brian the BuU) project and on the back of community rail events in Clitheroe, through which local schoolchildren were asked to cre ate “through the train window” pieces of artwork. As a result, six masterpieces
from five Ribble Valley primary schools - Brookside, Pendle, St
James’ CE, St Michael and St John’s RC, Clitheroe, and St Mary’s RC, Osbaldeston - were selected for the new sign. They capture scenes such as
Whalley Arches, the River Ribble and Chtheroe Castle. Chosen by Stephen Caton, of
Source Creative, Blackburn, the artwork was then developed on to a vinyl board and mounted on the rejuvenated sign. The sign, which has been part of
a project supported by Clitheroe’s Platform Gallery as well as the East Lancashire and Clitheroe Line Community Rail Partner ships (CRP), was unveiled at a
ceremony attended by the mayors of Clitheroe and Ribble Valley,
and the yoimg artists. James Syson, chairman of East

I wanted to really m ^ e a difference, not just to how I felt about myself but to lots of other children born with genetic disorders, and their families.” Paul, who strengthened his

Running for O Js
A COUPLE from Clitheroe, whose son has autism ran the Great North Run on Sunday to raise funds for OJs Sensory Interaction Trust. Johanna and Paul Smith, of
Langdale Avenue, completed the half-marathon in two-and- a-half hours and raised £500 for the Longridge-based chan-
ty.The couple’s four-year-old son William was diagnosed with autism in July, 2008, and suffers severe speech and lan guage problems as a result. They have found OJs,
which is a small registered charity that aims to provide activities for children with autism and associated disor ders, an invaluable resource. The charity, which holds
most of its family days at Hillside Specialist School, Longridge, has become even more of a lifeline now it has branched out to hold more events in the Ribble Valley. “As OJs welcomes the whole
family, it’s brilliant for the sib lings too, as they can join in all the activities and don’t get left out,” explained Johanna, who also has a two-year-old daughter called Harriet. “I t’s great to meet up with other children with autism and their
parents.” “Many people are totally
unaware of the condition and how it affects families. People
just tend to assume th a t William is being naughty when he is screaming or hav ing a temper tantrum in a public place such as the super market, and the number of disapproving glances that we get on a daily basis is unbe
lievable.” OJs founder Lisa Donoghue
set up the charity after she experienced problems with accessing mainstream and public areas with her son Oliv er, who also has autism. Keen to offer a service to
Ribble Valley families who have children with autism, Lisa has already held several events in the borough and will be running more throughout the autumn. These will take the form of
