Father-of-two, John Marsden, a retired magistrates’ clerk, of Ribblesdale Avenue, Clit heroe, lost his battle with the cancer he had been fighting for four and a half years in Feb ruary aged 71. Despite being ill, John te
naciously worked to support the Solomon Project in El- doret, Kenya. The Lancaster Founda
tion project provides daily meals to chronically hungry children in their local school. The project gives children an incentive to attend school - to be fed - arid through educa tion gain a better future for themselves and their com munities. A keen fan of 1950s and
’60s rock ‘n’ roll greats such as Elvis Presley and Gene Vin
cent, John -known to friends as “Maz" - and his wife Ann, organised rock n’ roll dances at The Grand, Clitheroe, rais- •
ing £12,740. ' Tickets for a rock ‘n’ roll
memorial night at The Grand on April 19th organised in John’s memory has sold out. John’s wife of 48 years,
Ann, who would like to thank everybody for their support
, duringthesepastweeksatthis difficult time, told the Clithe roe Advertiser and Times: “John aimed to raise £20,000 by the end of this year and it looks like we will do it and more. “John wanted to help these
children by raising money for the feeding programme.” Ann added that the Rock
and Roll Memorial Night is go: ing to be very emotional. “But like John used to say
‘come on everybody on to the dance floor and let's have a goodnight’.”

The next dance, after the rock ‘n’ roll memorial night in
■ John’s memory, willtakeplace at The Grand on Sunday De cember 6th.

Pakistan’s highest national honour to non-Pakistanis for services that have helped the
country. He wasawarded the Sitara-
' i-Qaid-i-Azam in Islamabad by Mamnoon Hussain, the Presi dent of Pakistan, joining ranks

the most prominent British politicians to advocate Paki stan’s case within the EU, and
the UK has been at the fore front in supporting Pakistan. Links have developed signifi cantly over the past decade through the efforts of S^jjad and the European Parliament Friends of Pakistan group which he founded in 2004. British Prime Minister
David Cameron, who Dr Karim has worked closely with, ac knowledged ther MEP’s work saying: “Sqj is a hardworking MEP who spearheaded tariff free access to the EU for Pa kistan and has done much to promote relations between the UK, EU and Pakistan. Icon-'
Sajjad Karim MEP wearing his award after the presentation
gratulate him on being award ed the Sitara-i-Quaid-i-Azam. You are a great ambassador for the party, the region and the United Kingdom.” • ' Commentingonbeingpre- sented the award Sqjjad said: “I feel truly privileged to be pre
sented with this award and I will never forget this day. As a British Pakistani, 1 will always strive to further strengthen connections between the UK, EU and Pakistan."
Binge drinker’s ‘nasty’
assault in wine bar Attacker told she was lucky to be spared jail
A binge drinker who headbut ted an innocent woman after. trouble erupted between two groups of females in a Clithe roe wine bar was spared jail. Pennine Magistrates Court
was told how neither attack er Kayleigh Dawn Benson (23), nor her victim Shelley Smith had started the midnight al tercation. But Ms Smith ended up with a bloody nose, split lip and bruising to her eyes and nose aftertheunprovoked as sault at Carlito’s, last Decem ber 21st. Benson was caught after she was recognised on Facebook. Benson, who already had a
caution for assault causing ac tual bodily harm dating from January 2012, was told by District Judge James Clarke that her behaviour had been “quite outrageous”. The dis trict judge, who said the de fendant needed to take steps to control her binge drinking, added: “People go to prison for this level of violence.” Benson, of Priory Chase, Nelson, admitted assault by
beating. She was sentenced to a 12-month community or der, with 100 hours’ unpaid work and a six-week curfew between 9 pm and 7 am. She was also ordered to pay £300 in compensation to her vic tim, £85 costs and a £60 stat utory surcharge. Prosecutor Mr Andrew
Robinson said the victim was at the wine bar .with friends when two groups of women were having an argument. The defendant came up Ms
Smith, swore at her and said:. “Doyouwantsome?”Thenext thing the victim knew she was headbutted in the nose, felt in stant pain and was bleeding. The defendant was escorted off the premises. Mr Robinson said Ms Smith and her friends knew one of the girls that her attacker was associated with and managed to identify her from photos on Facebook. The victim reported the attack to the police. Mr Philip Turner, in miti
gation for Benson, said she had co-operated with police,
admitted the offence in inter view, pleaded guilty at the first opportunityandexpressedre- • morse. He continued: “It does
seem, as is often the case, the victim and culprit were not the people who started the altercation. Miss Benson says a glass was thrown and hit one of her friends in the face, which partially contributed to her anger and willingness to do something which, in the cold light of day, would be ab horrent to her.” The solicitor added: “She is assessed as a low risk of reoffending and a low risk of causing harm.” Passing sentence, the dis
trict judge said the offence was nasty. He told the defendant the consequences of what she had done had been signif icant and there had been con sequences between Benson and her family. She had tak en some steps to cut down on her drinking. District Judge Clarke added: “Frankly, I'm surprised custody was ruled out as a consideration.”
