15 years ago
FLEET-FINGERED Frizing-
ton craftswoman June
Toman has notched up yet
more success at a county fair
� 3,500 miles away in Amer-
ica.
For several years, Mrs
Toman, of Main Street, has
been entering knitting and
needlework classes in New
York's Orange County Great
Fair.
And this year, she has col-
lected a best overall prize for
a knitted child's cardigan,
plus 12 first places and two
seconds.
Mrs Toman, who is the
former owner of June's
Chippy in Cleator Moor,
originally started entering
the New York competition
because she has family in the
States.
CLEATOR Moor Horticul-
tural Society has held its
20th annual open show in the
Working Men's Club. Over
200 people enjoyed the high
standard of exhibits.
Peter Myers was the main
prize winner in the flower
and vegetable classes, while
in the children's categories,
Christopher Kenyon, Craig
Tyson and Amy Hayes were
among the winners.
WATH Brow Hornets set up a
humdinger of a second
round Cumbria Cup tie with
Ellenborough after they beat
Ulverston in the first round.
Winger Kenny Johnstone
got a hat-trick in the win,
with man-of-the-match Ian
Rooney (2), Stephen David-
son, Michael McAllister and
Chris Richardson complet-
ing the route. Lee Power
booted five goals.
Five years ago
SINGING star Cory Sped-
ding stormed through to the
final of the Junior Eurovi-
sion Song Contest with a
memorable performance
live on national television.
The 13-year-old from Friz-
ington saw off competition
from seven other finalists
from across the country and
will represent the UK in the
international final in Nor-
way.
Viewers from across the
country voted in their
masses for the talented
youngster after a wonderful
performance of her song The
Best Is Yet To Come.
EHENSIDE Community
School in Cleator Moor is
celebrating after receiving
the news that it has become a
specialist technology col-
lege.
The school's head teacher
Sara Gaston-Parry said gain-
ing technology status was
one of the most exciting
things to have happened dur-
ing her 25 years at the school.
Guests from local busi-
nesses, plus Copeland mayor
Bill Southward, were on
hand to support the official
opening.
CLEATOR Moor Methodist
Church has come up with a
"smart" way to raise some
funds.

the church and hopes that
after people have eaten them,
they will fill the tubes with
coins and return them as a
Christmas gift for the
church.
