Top choir is set to return to the Valley
WIDELY considered to be one of the finest choirs in the world, Westminster Cathedral Choir is making a welcome return visit to Stonyhurst College later this ■ month. When the choir sang at Stony
hurst last December every sin gle ticket was allocated, with a long waiting list for any returns. People travelled considerable distances to hear them and were not disappointed. Now those who missed out
have a second chance, when the renowned choir sings again at Stonyhurst College, on Thurs day, April 22nd. “We are delighted to be wel
coming them back,” said the Headmaster, Mr Andrew John son. “ They last sang here in 2009
and the concert was extremely well received. I very much look forward to hearing them again.” The concert will take place at
7-30 p.m. in St Peter’s Church and will be by ticket only. Tickets are free o f charge, al
though a retiring collection will be. taken to help cover the cost
of.the visit. I f you would like a ticket

A STAFF nurse from Clitheroe with 44 years’ experience of working for the NHS has retired.
. Mother and grandmother-of-two Avril MacNeall, who will be a familiar face to many local residents, has spent the past 26 years working in the treatment rooms at both Clitheroe and Slaidburn Health Centres.
;
Starting her working life as a cadet at Queens Park Hospital, Blackburn, in
1966, Mrs MacNeall subsequently began training as a nurse in 1968. Three years later she qualified as a
registered nurse working in general thea tre before becoming a sister in the ENT theatre at the then Blackburn Royal Infir mary. After moving to Clitheroe and a short
maternity break, Mrs MacNeall began working at Clitheroe Community Hos pital until her move to Clitheroe Health Centre in 1984. A farewell buffet lunch was held at the ; health centre where presentations and
gifts were made by Dr Carter, Dr Mack- ean, matron Sandra Ashcroft and sister Jane Spurgeon. The friends and patients of Slaidburn
Country Practice also presented Mrs MacNeall with flowers and gifts during a coffee morning. While retired, Mrs MacNeall, who is
married to Paul, the former surveying manager at Ribble Valley Borough Coun cil, plans to do more travelling. Mother to Andrea and Sarah, she also hopes to spend more time with her two grandchil dren Tilly Rose and Jacob Paul.

im'i&i thams Y ! clitheroe ! 20 King Street Valley trials heated roads by Stan Chudmin
REMOTE villages cut off by heavy snow for weeks on end could become a thing o f the past if a new system about to be trialled in the Ribble Valley is a success.
. ■ Last winter saw several of the Valley’s, remote settle ments cut o f f fo r weeks by heavy snow, which started to fall just before Christmas. , Among them was Cow Ark,- which made national headlines
'after TV news crews made it through the drifts and finally spoke to villagers trapped in their homes for weeks and run- . ning low on food and fuel. that publicity has
prompted the Government to choose the Ribble Valley, and
. specifically Cow Ark, to trial a : new system developed to keep roads open in severe weather. Invented in Sweden, where
: temperatures can-drop to 20 degrees below zero, the .svs-
University of Stockholm. tern uses superheated liquid
INVENTOR: Prof. Thor Taarmackout, of the
^ pumped through special pipes ' installed beneath the road sur
face to effectively “heat” the road.
It was developed from the
underfloor' heating systems now commonplace in many modern homes. The same principle has also been applied by many professional football clubs to keep their pitches free of ice and snow in winter, lead- ins scientists at the Univensitv
of Stockholm to question why it could not also be used to keep roads open and safe. ' Led by Professor T h o r
- Taarmackout (pictured), the Stockholm team has devised
■ a system based on the Kelvin thermodynamic temperature scale and which is already in stalled and proving effective on several Swedish test roads.'
: Now the Swedish Central Heating Method o f Under- Causeway Kelvination is being adopted by the U R Govern ment, which will carry out its first trial on the road linking Cow Ark with Whitewell.-
Four roadside “Swedish Au-
. tomated Pumping Stations” , , each the size o f a garden shed, will be constructed at 500-me tre intervals along the two-kil ometre stretch o f road. Inside each will be an industrial con denser boiler linked to a pump and an outside thermostat., When the temperature falls
to one degree above freezing the boilers will automatically fire un. numnins a soecial mix
...
ture o f water and anti-freeze - similar to that in your car’s radiator - around the zig-zag network o f flexible thermody namic pipes buried 20cms be neath the road’s surface. It will raise the temperature
o f the road’s surface - con structed using experimental heat-conductive bitumen - to
- around seven or eight degrees, ensuring that even the heaviest
. snowfall simply melts away. The trial is being run lo
cally by Lancashire County Council’s Highways depart ment, where spokesman Mr I. G. Rhodes commented; “We won’t be ‘ frying eggs on
