. UK rider Mark Cavendish,


who hoped to win the stage in his mother’s home town, crashed just yards from the finish and suffered a dislocat­ ed collarbone. Fellow Briton and 2013 Tour winner Chris Froome finished sixth. This monumental cycling


event is the biggest road race in the world; people flocked to the streets of Yorkshire from


all across the globe to catch a snippet of the fastest men on two wheels thunder down the country roadsofthe Yorkshire

The people of Harrogate were so.enthusiastic about stage 1 of the race finishing in their' home town; it isjojdFul to lis­


ten to the tone of excitement , in their voice when you ask


them i f they are looking for­

open my showroom doors on

basis were on millions of tel­ evisions across the world. It '


has really put Harrogate on


. the map. Here’s hoping the Tour De


France legacy long lives on in these smaller towns and vil­


lages and continues to bring happiness to those who live I within them.

The Mayor is reviving an


ancient custom by walking the borough boundaries to raise cashforcharity.'


He is to “beat the bounds”

25 YEARS AGO Council strike

“RIBBLEVALLEYCOUNCILemployeesarrivingfor work on Tuesday were met by pickets with placards > on the very first day of the NALGO strike. And a 16-year-old Whalley school girl having herfirst taste ’ of work experience found that she was on strike too!' But despite 75% support for the strike amongst the-' 130 NALGO members, a ’skeleton’ staff managed to keep all departments open. The day’s only casualty : was Ribblesdale Pool, which had to close. The union is planning more strike days in support of the pay .: claim for£1,200 or 12%, whichever is the greater. A council manager said he got the feelingthataiotof local members hoped the matter would be resolved nationally, so they will not have to strike again.”

are still a lot of cars in Clitfie- roe flying St George’s flags, indicating whom they sup­ port. England hats and shirts havenearlydisappeared.' ■ World Cup fever hit the town earlier and now we are recov- eringfrom its departure. People were anxious to


show whom they wanted to win by displaying a sign of their allegiance. I wanted Eng­ land to win and hoped I would be cheering them on to victory on July 13 th. Yes, we all like to be on the


winning side, but in this World Cup it is not to be.. As Christians we have a


very simple sign showing our allegiance. It is the cross, espe­ cially a very simple empty one. The cross is the sign of God’s


love for the world, which he demonstrated by sending his


'. only son to take upon himself the sin of the world, your sin and mine. Way back in 1838 a young


womanof20 wrote a hymn which contains words which


- have helped me to take in this truth: “He died that we might be forgiven, He died to make us good, that we might go at last to heaven saved by his pre­ cious blood.” ...... The World Cup has yet to


be decided, but the cross is the sign of a victory already won. When Jesus rose from the dead he conquered sin and death and he gives to all who


• trust in him eternal life. So some will approach


. Sunday, July 13th, with mixed


feelings. I shall not be watch­ ing the match. Afterwards, the emblems of support will be put away for another four years when the World Cup is held in Russia. On the morning of Sunday,


July 13th, 2014,1 shall be to­ gether with other Christians


in church celebrating the fact J that Jesus our saviour has


l


won the victory and con­ quered sin and death and opened the door of heaven to all believers. The sign of our allegiance is


the cross, and the benefits we obtain each day are through ‘ faith in the one who was nailed there.
