dialysis session she under goes. Unlike many kidney patients who have dialysis on a machine in hospital, Samantha, of Bridge End, administers her own con tinuous ambulatory peri- tonnial dialysis, more com monly known as CAPD. The treatment involves
draining and re-filling her stomach with two litres of glucose fluid every four hours during the day. The process, which cleans the body of wastes her failed kidneys cannot, takes place through various tubes, bags and a catheter implanted in her abdomen. Having renal failure is a
tall order for a young woman such as Samantha, who should by all accounts be on the brink o f a career, starting a family or
just enjoying the simple freedoms of life. Diagnosed last year,
after a decade of bizarre symptoms ranging from
back pain and gout to severe anaemia, she has approached her situation with an astonishingly practical attitude. “You just get used to
it,” she said. “You don’t have a choice. I f you don’t

do it, you die. Dialysis is not a cure. I t ’s literally keeping me alive. “CAPD is lonely,” she
continued. “You do your whole treatment yourself. You’re so restricted. I can’t go for a day out, because I know I have to do dialysis, in another four hours. The hassle is
untrue.” Samantha added: “ A
few months ago I was pro bably at rock bottom, to the extent that I asked the nurse if I could stop dia lysis and die. I didn’t see any way out.”
The problem, she said,
is the uncertainty of whether a kidney will become available for a transplant. “You have no idea. It
could he a month, 10 years or forever,” she said. “The problem really is a lack of donors.” S a m a n t h a h a s
researched the system of organ donation in Britain
' and even conducted a sur vey in Blackburn. Her study revealed that
only 11 out of 25 people interviewed carried donor cards. But she discovered that 20 supported an “opt- out” system, where the names of those not want ing to donate their organs would be registered. Under such a system, doc tors would consult a n a t io n a l c om p u te r network to determine whether organs could be used. Samantha even con
tacted local MP Nigel Evans about backing such a scheme and lifting the current requirement for doctors to ask relatives for
Nicola’s Royal date
A CLITHEROE woman was among several former Clitheroe Royal Grammar School pupils to receive
her Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award during a spe cial presentation at St James’s Palace, London, on Tuesday.
Nicola Jane Bale (20), or Siddows Avenue, joined . . ,
former classmates Richard Chew, ol Edisford Road, and Claire Earnshaw, of Wilpshire, at the cere mony, attended by I-1RH Prince Philip. Activities Nicola completed to gain the prestigious
award included teaching map and survival skills and supervising expedition check points lor Duke of Edin
burgh Bronze Award candidates. She also studied driving and advance driver train
ing, hiked for four days in the Yorkshire Dales, par ticipated in a netball league outside school and spent five days doing conservation and cleaning work at Trout Beck Youth Hostel, Windermere.
Treasure hoard booklet
BURIED treasure unearthed in the Kibble Valley is the subject of a new booklet written by county archaeologist Ben Edwards. The booklet tells of the discovery of one ol the

local bookshops and larger libraries or from the County Library Local Studies Section at Preston

Samantha, a former
pupil of St Augustine’s RC School, Billington, has
refused to give in to the demands of dialysis, the never-ending blood tests and injections and the physical experience of liv ing with a tube poking out of her stomach.
She has wonderful days
and those where she lan guishes in a complete state of exhaustion. “The longer it goes on,
the more different parts of the kidney fail and the more tablets and injections you need. “ At some stage, for
whatever reason, the dia lysis can just pack up. ’Then, i f you don’t get a transplant, you’re 10 days away from death,” she said. . “A lot of people hiber
nate. I did for a while. I didn’t think anyone really wanted to see me,” she said. “But I made myself go out. You’ve got to face it. A lot of people sit and moan. That just makes you more miserable.” One way Samantha lias
found to combat the blues is through writing. With the help of a writing corre spondence course, she lias invented a weapon against

“ THE trouble with the Christian churches is that there are too many reli gious people in them.” I wondered if I had heard properly. Then the man eon-, tinued and I understood and was inclined to agree. “There’s a shortage of Chris tians in them.”
attempting to live life according to rules, the do’s and don’ts, and the Thou shall nots. The Pharisees in Jesus’s day were very careful to follow the laws and obey the rules, hut they had no joy in their religion. They were sure that they were much better than the majority of ordi nary folk and felt quite proud of them selves for keeping the law.
A religious person is one who is
■ They also did their best to follow the tradition of the elders and were good people according to the light that was in their lives. It gave them a great deal of pleasure to be admired as holy men and they would stand and pray long prayers at street corners, where everyone could see how faithful they were..- ■ Their everyday dealings with their fel
low men, however, were not up to the standard they professed. It was noted that, in dealing with tile poverty- stricken widows and fatherless, they showed little tolerance or mercy. These specialists in lop show religion had no time for Jesus. They soon found
.that He was not the usual kind of teacher who constantly quoted the words of Moses. When He did, it was sometimes followed by: “But I say unto you . . . ” They did not approve of Him healing
the sick on the Sabbath day. “ Is it right to do good or evil on the Sabbath, to save life or kill?” He asked them. Jesus spoke of loving all people, even
your enemies, and doing good to those who have spitefully used you. Theirs was a negative religion. You knew where you were if you did not do this or that, they told themselves. Jesus was not concerned with folk say
ing that they had done nobody harm, hut wanted to know who they liad actually helped.-Our Lord went to that cross (if shame to put a plus, rather tlian a minus, into our religion.

Pupils aiming for ; centre stage
A GROUP of Stonyhurst College pupils look set to q hit the bright lights — if their forthcoming perfor- . manee of a Victorian pantomime gets the thumbs-up 1
from a top theatre critic. The pupils, all aged 12, have successfully passed
the lirst stage of the Lloyds Bank Theatre Challenge, a national competition aimed at youth theatre groups ■ aged up to 19.
• ’ This means that their play will be assessed by a
competition judge, who will decide if it is good enough to go through to the competition’s national finals, to be held at the National Theatre ill Lon- • don next year. The adjudicator will judge the group’s performance next Tuesday and, said director Mrs Mary Jones, the ■' group lias even built its own set for the occasion! Mrs Jones said: “The group of boys are young, •
both in terms of age and their theatrical devel opment. They have done very well to get as far as • this.”
