be heard AS Jack Pimbley’s dad, I have to agree' with some of Tessa Garrard’s com­ ments regarding my son’s letter about dog fouling in Brungerley Park. However, l am afraid I also have


i ;


. to step in to defend him from some of her more ill-judged and barbed re­ marks. He does write extremely well for a


nine-year-old. The letter was his own. idea and he wrote it himself. She is right to say we should be proud par-


- ents - indeed we are; However, l am not sure he does bring joy to his teach­ ers - 1 don’t think many nine-year-old boys do. • I think Tessa’s missed the point of


' the sponsors Johnson Matthey and Brunswick Gallery; the contribution . of raffle prizes from Booths, Cow-


^ •mans Butchers, The Olive Press, Ex­ change Coffee and Byrnes Wines; the participation'of several restaraunts including The Olive Press, Maxwells,' The Inn at the Station, The Old Post House; the venues of ITie Atrium and The Grand; and; of course, the people of Clitheroe and those who travelled farandwide from various parts of the


TJK,' and The Clitheroe Advertiser for. doing a splendid job in keeping peo-: . pie informed.

. ■ There has been a high demand for another, jazz festival to take place,


1 and we are encouraged to do it all again next year. A 2011 Ribble Val­ ley Jazz Festival is being planned for


Jack’s letter. The world looks very different through the eyes of a nine- year-old (four foot tall) and indeed even stranger through the eyes of his four-year-old and 14-month-old ^ brothers.' A dog could look quite frighten­


'•1


ing as it hurtles towards you and, as for avoiding dog muck, little legs do have to stretch fiirther to do so. Jack was merely asking for a bit more consideration from dog owners. Not every user of the park will view dogs as“mendly”. . Unfortunateljj, this was not the first occasion this has happened in


: Brungerley. Perhaps we are unlucky, ‘ but 1 tend to think that when you see a nappy bag with dog muck in, hanging


; from a fence or tree, that not all dog owners are as considerate as Tessa. 1 agree that dog muck is by no


I-.fir


means the worst thing that has hap­ pened to Brungerley. As a user of the park for the past 15 years 1 am disap­ pointed and saddened that so many of the wonderful sculptures have, been damaged or destroyed. Indeed Jack has also asked where the carved shepherd with the ram at the water’s edge has gone. A fond memory from the time when we used to live just five minutes from the park. However, it is even sadder that


a nine-year-old cannot express his views without being belittled. Too often children are labelled as hoodies hellbent on destroying anything that brings joy to others. Surely we should be embracing


the fact that a child can say what they would like improved in the world. It would be a real shame to revert to the Victorian attitude of children being seen but not heard. Here’s to more views on the letters page from the val­ ley’s youngsters.

GEOFF JACKSON, -' Chairman,


Ribble Valley Jazz and Blues Why repeat this


^racist joke^?/ PLEASE explain the difference be­ tween Coun. Hind disseminating what your reporter described as a “racist” joke, and you retelling that “joke” in your columns, so giving it far wider exposure than the original act' which your article, at least implicitly, condemned.


'


PETER SHEPHERD, Eastham Street, Clitheroe


Will sanctions


apply to you too? YOU reported that two Councillors had been suspended from the Con­ servative Party over the sending of a racist e-mail. When can we expect your suspen­


sion from the editorship of “The Clit­ heroe Advertiser” for printing the racist story for your whole readership to read, or does the Press Complaints Commission take a more lenient view of such matters?


M.A.HOWSEMAN Waters Edge, Whalley


• Editor’s note: The decision to


include the so-called “joke” was not taken lightly, but it is impossible to re­ port a story which centres on the spe­ cific content of an e-mail without stat­ ing what that content was. I suspect that had we not included that content, we would have received many more complaints from readers accusing us of covering up the facts.


E-mail touched


on serious issues I FIND it strange that an important issue such as immigration, which- along with the economy are two of the.most important issues facing us at present, has been brought to the forefront albeit by way of a so-called ' racist e-mail.


: Whether or not the two Conserva­ tives sent it or passed it on is, in my opinion, irrelevant and it is about


• Finally may I suggest that most rac- , ism these days is mainly towards the majority of this country and not tar-, geted at ethnic minorities. ' - ^

thanks to you I WOULD like to offer my personal thanks to those who voted for me and UKIP on May 6th. Whilst we were hoping for a slightly


bigger share of the vote, the end result was pleasing. Here in the Ribble Valley we


achieved the largest number of votes and the biggest percentage UKIP vote of any other North West area (70 con­ stituencies represented). The Ribble Valley also finished in the top 5% of UKIP voters in the UK (550 constitu­ encies represented). The final UKIP figure in the Ribble


Valley was 3,496 with a 6.7% share of the vote. This was an increase of over 2,000 votes and a rise of 4% on the 2005 general election. ,. I know that our vote would have been much increased, had we been af­ forded the same national media cov­ erage as the LIB/LAB/CON.

Wrong notion of Libertarianism


IN the letter in your May 6th edition headed “Letters show ‘I’m alright Jack’ view”, the writer G. Kay seri­ ously misrepresents the concept of Libertarianism.


It does not mean “...do as they


please and never mind the conse-- quences for.those around them”.' Quite the opposite in fact. It is the idea that no-one has the right to force another to do something against their. will, except to prevent harm to oth­ ers.'," : Or to put it another way, “do as you


: please provided you don’t adversely affect another person”. ■ ■

Caring teenager deserves praise


I WOULD just like everyone to know about the helpful teenager (I only know him as Joe) who came to my seven-year-old grandson’s rescue after a fall at Clitheroe Skateboard Park - his scooter was damaged and couldn’t be used. The teenager kindly fixed the scoot­


er and made sure my grandson was 01^ which he was. As a result of this caring teenager my grandson, Daniel, is now confident using this wonder­ ful facility, which is mostly used by teenagers. Thank you so very much Joe - I’m sure your parents are very proud of you. It is so easy to criticise the younger generation, but I feel they should be praised when praise is due.


PAULINE KERSHAW, Hurst Green


Rail plan would threaten buses


I AM quite surprised to see the Peter Brass’s rail publicity stunt is still alive • in the letters page since Ribble Valley Rail fully explained the logistics as to why it was a non-starter.


Furtheraiore, said proposed service


would be a threat to the hourly Pres- ton-Skipton bus service, a vital lifeline to those without access to cars in vil- lages like Chatburn and Gisbum. If Peter Brass is genuine in his al­


leged quest to improve rail services m the Ribble Valley, why does he not pledge his alleged “money” towards a real new viable train service. Tliat is to say a rail service running from Black­ pool to Morecambe via Hellifield for


; interchange traffic to Leeds/Carlisle and including towns like Bentham


■


' heartfelt thanks to them also. We are ■ striving to increase these numbers in,


to attract seaside (and other) tourist traffic just for the ride out and, who


'f: m Clitheroe. ■


r'knows, some of them might even ■ b r ^ their journey to stop and shoo


: Similarly Clitheroe folk could have a direct service to the seaside with


: the alternative of two destinations Said train service could also precipi^


. tate the opening of a (new) station at v-Chatbum and the re-openingofGis- burn, providing a useful contribution to public transport services overall without duplicating a service already adequately covered by buses. ' ■

cleared away. As Fleet Street moyen out to Wapping, large supermarkets


maximise our consumer needs. Sow^ out of London - as it would be a pity to use one of the parks - a huge spa­ cious modern structure needs to oe built, semi-circular for debate where constructive opinions are directea to a Speaker or “chair” and not in futile, vitriolic abuse, at each other. r o b in PARKER
