I 'M 14 Clitheroe Advertiser&Times, Thursday, July3 (^ ,2 0 0 9 . Police to pay burglars a visit


EAST Lancashire’s senior police officers have been busy personally visiting the area’s most prolific burglars.


;' ■ Supt Bithell and Chief Insp. Damian


Darcy, from Eastern Division, have been out and about hand delivering warning letters to suspected burglars who oper-: ate across the Kibble Valley,^Blackburn with Darwen and Hyndbum. It came as part of Operation Julius, a high-profile campaign, which has been running throughout July, aiming to reduce bur­ glaries across L^cashne. iChief Insp. Darcy, who 1^ the opera­


tion in E a s t^ Drviaon, smd: ^Burglary in Lancashire is at its lowest in 35 years, • but we want to keep it that way and this is just one of many tactics aimed at dis­ rupting the activities of our most prolif- icbiirglars.


- ' “This type of crime is iconic and has


an adverse impact on public confidence, not only to victims, but to the.wider. community. There are a small minority of people who are responsible for com­ mitting the majority of burglaries. The message to them is simple; we know who you are, we know where you live and if you continue to commit crime, you will be targeted. ■ “This is the first of many tactics,


which will be used against these people. “I want to reassure people that bur­


glary is low in Eastern Division and we will do all we can to keep it that way.” Anyone with any information or who


is concerned about crime in their neigh­ bourhood is urged to contact the police on 0845 1 25 3545 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111. For further crime prevention advice, log on to: www.lancashire.police.uk


A SPONSORED walk across Morecambe 'Bay will be held on Saturday, August 29th,


to raise fimds for Kenyan orphans. Last year, 86 pkiple from the Kibble Valley


completed the walk, which w ^ the first to be ■ organised by Grindleton fundraisers Chris and Linda Kichardson. ; It r a i^ more than £3,000 for the charity


. Open Arms International, with every penny going directly to helping to provide the basic . needs and medical requirements of orphaned •. children in the Open Arms village in Kenya. . The first children arrived at the village, in ,


Mlango, in April 2008. Fourteen youngsters aged from three years, all orphaned due to AIDS, are now relishing a new life and new beginning. ' : -

''■ Chris explained: “Linda visited Kenya last October and the money was used to buy school uniforms, clothes, games, books and a small Christmas present for each of the children, and a lot more. “Many of the Mds had said it was their


best Christmas ever.” He added: “The walk has resulted in a


greater awareness of the struggles of Kenyan children, particularly ones orphaned as a result of HIV AIDS. A number of people have.visited Eldoret since and have had amazing experiences. “This year we are also donating 50% of the


funds raised to the street children and glue com­ munity, who live on the rubbish dumps, as high-' lighted by Koss Kemp’s television series.” Queen’s Guide C e ^ c Kobinson will lead the


eight-mile walk, which starts off at Amside at 12- 30 p.m. Making their way across the sands, walkers will

i The youth group began at Clitheroe’s Trinity Centre in 2004, but more recently it has held meetings at the Art and Craft Studio at the Old Shaw- bridge Mill building in Clitheroe. Volunteer organiser, Mel


Diack MBE, said:,“This vol­ untary ; group , empowers young people at every oppor­ tunity to take part in positive, healthy and challenging activ; ities, and this Duke of Edin­ burgh project alone has taken


, over a year to reach this stage of the process.” The group’s Duke of Edin­


burgh Awards have been sup­ ported financially by funding from Lancashire County Council’s Youth Bank, which


■youth group project chair­ man Jake Hummer applied for.

T'WENTY-ONE members of the Clitheroe Naturalists’ Society went to Lyme Park in Cheshire to expore the 1;400 acres of the grounds mth its herds of both red and fallow deer. r An early part of their walk , snakes up ■ the : hill through' sycamore, oak and pine trees, and reaching the ridge the view opens out. In the filming of the BBC’s “Pride and Prejudice”, this is the route Mr Darcy followed on his white horse to Pemberly, while down to the left is the pool where he had his famous swim. At the 17th century Paddock:


Cottege, recently restored by the. National Trust, members enjoyed ’ good views towards Liverpool and' the coast before following a high


gritstone wall into Knightslow- Wood.

•‘i inents of the herds of deer could ' be seen by the-huntsmen. The
