Common room boost for patient West Craven students
1:58pm Thursday 13th March 2014 in News
WEST Craven High School has marked the last leg of its 6.2 million refurbishment by announcing the addition of a student common room.
The room, due to be finished in September, will be available to Year 11s at the school in Barnoldswick.
Construction giant Keepmoat, which began the renovation of West Craven High in October 2012, has donated 1,000 to establish a common room as a thank you to the pupils for their understanding during the building works.
Roy Barnes, who retired as deputy head last year but has remained at the school to oversee building work, said: This is the biggest investment the school has ever seen and will bring West Craven into the 21st century.
The school has been waiting for a common room for the last 16 years and now, thanks to Keepmoat, we can finally give our students a place to relax and study ahead of their GCSEs.

The West YMCA has been approved for a two-story building addition to add more locker rooms and a fitness room.
At the Jefferson City Planning and Zoning Commission meeting Thursday, members unanimously approved a preliminary PUD plan amendment for the West YMCA, located on Amazonas Drive.
Eric Barron, development services manager, said the addition would be 23,000 square feet and include locker rooms on the lower level, a fitness room in the upper level and additional office space in the upper level.
This is basically the next phase for their construction out there, Barron said.
Brian McMillan, with Central Missouri Professional Services, who represented the YMCA at the meeting, said the addition is being called the locker room addition.
Also approved Thursday was a preliminary PUD plan for a new two-story office building that will house the office of the chief disciplinary counsel with the Missouri Bar. The new building will be located next to their current facility on American Avenue.

Apprentices with construction firm Kier Homes have built more than 100 new houses on a slightly smaller scale than usual.
The desirable new homes are aimed at dormice in a pioneering reintroduction scheme for the tiny creatures at Brampton Wood, Near Huntingdon.
Now the apprentices have handed over the 101 nest boxes to the Wildlife Trust at the wood.
Anne Pounds, apprenticeships manager at Sandy-based Kier Homes, said: It is vital that our apprentices learn to consider the environment in a range of ways, from simply segregating waste for recycling to projects like these where they run their own scheme using materials from site.
Mark Smith, construction director, said: Supporting the Wildlife Trust was an easy decision for Kier Homes.
As a developer, it is important for Kier Homes to work closely with the trust to ensure the schemes we deliver have sustainable wildlife habitats.
The trusts Design for Dormice project was a groundbreaking project designed to reintroduce the rare rodents into the country.

The Whiskey Room places as much importance in its whiskey education as it does in its collection. (WTOP/Rachel Nania)
WASHINGTON -- There's no doubt the local bars will be filled-to-the-brim on St. Patrick's Day with stumbling holiday enthusiasts who had their fill of green beer and cabbage.
But those looking to get a real education in a celebrated slice of Irish culture can find one on a long mahogany bar in a curved glass at R R's The Whiskey Room.
"Irish whiskey is what's new, it's what's upcoming," says Rachael Ewing, who is the whiskey sommelier at The Whiskey Room.
In addition to getting a pour -- or two -- of Irish whiskey, patrons at The Whiskey Room get a lesson in varieties from all over the world from Ewing, a whiskey expert, and her team.
"There's a lot of academic study that goes into it, but there's also a lot of sensory, hands-on work," Ewing says on learning whiskey.
Ewing's journey into whiskey is one of pure coincidence.
"Oh I completely fell into it," the 24-year-old says.
At the time, Ewing was attending college in Aberdeen, Scotland, and like most students, she needed a part-time job to get her through school. So Ewing applied for a position at a local, run-down bar, named The Grill. She soon found out The Grill is one of the top whiskey bars in the world.
Unfortunately for Ewing, she knew absolutely nothing about whiskey.

One of the songs off the Pat Travers Bands latest record, Can Do, got its debut at Harrahs Lake Tahoe long before the albums July 9 release.
Travers wrote the bulk of Diamond Girl, a soaring rock n roll track, while warming up for a show at the South Shore Room last year, he said during a phone interview in late February.
That was one of the easy ones, Travers said of the song, which is the third track on an album inspired by the sound of his early records.
My only goal was really to come up with the best songs I absolutely could, Travers said.
The Canadian guitarist and singer has released more than 30 discs in his decades-spanning career. He counts Can Do among its highlights.
Everybody loves it, Travers said. I got probably the best reviews of any album I ever put out in my career on this album.
He took the album to Europe last year and comes through the South Shore Saturday as part of the bands North American tour in support of the album.
Can Do and Long Time Gone are among the new songs that are especially well received live, Travers said.
In addition to songs from the new album, Travers said the bands live set features fan favorites and a slide guitar section. Travers began developing his slide guitar technique eight or nine years ago after injuring his hand.
That whole section goes down amazingly well, Travers said. I really have fun with it.

The old school bell tolled March 5, when Gahanna Senior Center members visited Lincoln Elementary School and the recently relocated and restored one-room Jefferson Township School No. 2.
The occasion was part of an intergenerational partnership program the schools and Gahanna seniors forged 20 years ago, said Dale Foor, coordinator of community services. Every first Wednesday of the month, students visit the senior citizens; once a year, the senior citizens travel to one of the schools.
Senior center director Danise Hall said the monthly program begins in October and ends in May.
"Only once a year do we come to a school," she said. "The rest of the time it's at the senior center. I love to find out the likes of the foreign-exchange students when they visit."
The senior citizens were paired with Lincoln fourth-grade ambassadors, who guided them through the cafeteria to experience modern-day school life.
They enjoyed lunch together in the library instead of the cafeteria, though.
In addition to enjoying a menu of cheese bread, hummus, tomato soup, strawberries and milk, the students and seniors chatted about everyday life.
Fourth-grader Luciano Frissora, 9, visited with Jean Langkamp.
"I learned about lots of things," Luciano said. "Senior citizens are full of wisdom. They're nice and have fun."
