tfioughtfortheweek God will still believe in us
J -1 , iHE flags have come down and B, .-the banners have been taken
: J - put o f the windows and England slowly returns to normal, t
-
. ..; Over the past four weeks many of us .have seen our hopes played out on the fields.of South Africa and the courts of
.Wimbledon only to have them^dashed once again. All of us have failed, but spare
,a thought for those who have shouldered ' our;dreams and have failed in public. What will Robert Green be remembered for I wonder; his hundreds of saves for West Ham or his one mistake against- USA. Next season all the England players
(if they do not play for your team) will be roundly booed when they take the field. In so many areas of our lives we nlaVp
value in what we do. Failure in a^ a rS o f our lives can make us feel a fa i lu r ^ a person. Even when it is not our fault we can feel a failure; take redundancy as an
worthless. But, of course, our real value s in who we are and it is those closest to us who know and affirm us in that It is
poisoned pen to condemn us to the world. The parable of the prodigal son in Luke
chapter 15 tells us this.- , It is said that hope springs eternal. That
is why this time next year we will still be shouting for Andy Murray. It is why in four years time we will get out the flags and whoever is playing for England we will “ believe.’! And it is why tliat no mat ter how many times we fail God will still believe in us.

mism, as a challenge and opportunity, or with pessimism, gloom and doom? The recent World Cafe Event at the Grand is sued a challenge to the people of Clithe roe and surrounding areas. Who remembers the old eorny joke? Question: 1‘Where were you when the
I
lights went out?” Answer: “In the dark!” (Groan!)
. The Peak Oil Forecast could lead us to a similar situation, and leave us in the dark, with no means of transport, no ac cess to food, or to any of life's essentials, or non-essentials, which rely heavily on
oil. In other words, almost everything. The World Cafe came to Clitheroe on
June 19th, and we thank the Grand for' providing an ideal venue for a presentation by Mark Rotherham and the subsequent discussions, cafe style. Mark Rotherham is well known for his research and work

“gentlemen of the road” as it once was.::-
THE figures showed there had been a decrease of 445 compared to fig-

around Peak Oil and Climate change. He left us with much food for thought. He left a challenge for communities and individu als to look beyond the current picture of oil dependency, to a number of creative and viable alternatives. Transition Town Clitheroe is working to
develop an Energy Descent Action Plan, (EDAP) that is both realistic and idealis tic. The plan would allow for cliange at a reasonable pace, starting now, and create resilience in the community', with the sup port of the local councils, wlio were repre
sented at tlie World Cafe Event Ribblc Valley MP Nigel Evans had also
been invited to participate in a debate that has immediate relevance for our rural ao- ricultural community, but sadly our i’mf tation to him received no response. Rural sustainability deserves support from all levels of Government!
Tlie World Cafe Event generated many
ideas, all contributing to a vision for the future of Clitheroe, and toiichino on fa miliar themes, such as transporl, food from local producers, health and well-be ing, waste, energy, education, allotments, leisure, all topics that are regularly aired in the Clitheroe Advertiser and Times. The message from the meeting?
Not everybody can do everything! But we can each do something that will make a difference, and we can start by talkin" about the small steps that will take Clithe-
, roe through the transition that will reduce our dependency' on oil.
Our glasses are still half full. Cheers!

the village school since Janu ary, Mrs Metcalfe was only officially appointed to the post of headteacher at Easter. She now combines that role with her position as headteacher at St Mary’s RC Primary in Osbaldeston; “I feel very privi leged to be included in the lives of two such successful, inclusive schools!” Her twoischools are now
helping each other by sharing good practice and curriculum expertise while keeping their individuality. To ensure educational pro

the facilities that are already here,” said Mrs Metcalfe. “We are keen to provide all the op- portunites pupils get at larger schools, but with the individual education enjoyed in a smaller school.” . At Thorneyholme pupils can
take part in a variety of lunch time and after-school clubs in
cluding running, cricket, cook ery, street dance, tag rugby and gym. And from the start of the new academic year all the Key Stage Two children will receive free instrument loan and music tutition alongside their class teacher Helen Nicoll, who will also be learning how to play a woodwind instrument for the first time. As well as enjoying good
links with the village’s mother and toddler group - which holds its monthly music session
in school and enjoys lunch with the pupils - Thorneyholme has also created links through a Salford Diocese initiative with St Maiy and St Joseph’s School in Blackburn with pu pils enjoying twice yearly ex change visits. Any prospective parents
interested in learning more about the school are very wel come to visit and should con tact the school to arrange an appointment.
