They request people to refrain from digging out and planting in front of headstones and to consider mak ing a donation towards the upkeep of the church and its grounds.

Clitheroe Advertiser & Times. June 17th. 2004 13 were lucky to know her’ by Duncan Smith
A POPULAR 13-year-old Langho girl died as a result of a rare genetic disorder which affects the rhythm of the heart.' An inquest heard that the cause
of Rebecca Holt’s sudden death was only discovered after her tMn sister, Sophie, was tested at Alder Hey Children’s Hospital in Liver pool. A top paediatric pathologist
confirmed that Mthout the living diagnosis, Rebecca’s cause of death would have been unascer tained. And a consultant paediatrician
at Queen’s Park Hospital said lessons had been learned from Rebecca’s tragic death and revealed that the provision of EGG testing equipment in the department was now being given priority. The inquest heard that Rebec
ca, a popular pupil at St Augus tine’s RC High School, Billington, died of “Long Q-T Syndrome”, a rare disorder of the heart’s electri cal system. For three years doctors had
been investigating recurring night-time and early morning seizures. Dr Meera Lama, a con sultant paediatrician at Queen’s Park Hospital, said epilepsy had always been considered a possibil ity.
While on a skiing holiday in
France, in June 2003, Rebecca, known to her family and friends as Becky, suffered three night time seizures. She was seen by a French doctor and again epilepsy was the favoured diagnosis. In February of this year she
was prescribed sodium valproate, an epilepsy treatment, but on April 13th suffered another seizure at her home. She suffered respiratory arrest and, despite resuscitation attempts continuing for one-and-a-half hours at the hospital, did not respond. Dr Lama said it was only the
subsequent detailed heart exami nation undertaken by Rebecca’s twin sister, Sophie, that had revealed Long Q-T Syndrome. She confirmed that the disorder
had never been considered as a possibility, primarily because car diac arrhythmia usually occurs at times of physical activity. “Rebecca was a very sporty girl
and nothing happened when activ ity was being carried out,” said Dr Lama. “There was nothing in the histo
ry which would have made us sus pect a cardiac arrhythmia or Long Q-T Syndrome.” Dr Lama said Long Q-T was
normally a genetically-inherited disease, but Rebecca’s parents, Tom and Helen Holt, who both teach at St Augustine’s, had been found to be clear. “It has been established that
this is a new mutation in the case of Sophie and Rebecca,” she said.
Artists’ work proves a treat A ‘heart’-felt
ART lovers were well rewarded ■for a trip to Sawley over the recent Bank Holiday weekend, and helped to raise £250 for the North West Air Ambulance. Members of Sawley Art
Group staged a three-day Spring Exhibition of Paintings in the Old Village School. There were more than 80 watercolour paintings, pastels and oils on
r
display. The picture voted by the public and guest adjudica tors to be “best in show” was a watercolour, “Chestnuts”, by artist Denise Mallinson. She also claimed second place
with her watercolour, “Venice”. Artist Reta Lord took third
place with her watercolour, “Foxgloves”. All three paintings were sold during the exhibition.

thanks from GPs STAFF from Pendleside Medical Practice are the proud recipients of a heart defib rillator - thanks to a generous donation from Clitheroe’s Heart Machine Fund. The portable life-saving machine, used
to determine a heartbeat and deliver an electric shock to treat heart attack vic tims, is to be situated at the newly- acquired consulting rooms in Quex House, Railway View Avenue, Clitheroe, and will be operated by the medical staff during an emergency. Speaking on the necessity of the
machine, general practitioner Dr Nigel McMeekin said: “We are extremely pleased to have received the device. “Previously there was only one machine
situated at the health centre, however, we desperately needed one in the new rooms in case anyone suffered a heart attack. “On behalf of all the staff and patients,

I would like to thank the town’s Heart Machine Fund who donated more than £2,000 to buy the defibrillator.” Double celebrations were in order for
the town’s health officials who last week welcomed patients to the new premises. Just a short walk from the health cen
tre, the new rooms are used to treat patients attending nurse-managed special ist clinics for long-standing problems such as asthma, diabetes and heart disease. The building is equipped to very high
standards and includes a waiting area, two consulting rooms and two offices. Taking on the new rooms has enabled
the practice to begin advertising for another nurse to speed up appointments and help with the workload. Interviews are being scheduled later tliis
month, with the successful applicant expected to be in post later in the summer.
£6,000 in goods stolen
GOODS valued at £6,000 were stolen during a burglary in an isolated storage barn in Mitton Road and stole 10 extrac tor fans, a slurry pump, four car wheels and two tyres. The burglary occurred between May 10th and June 2nd. Anyone with information should call Clitheroe police on 01200 443344.

H Dr Lama said there are current
ly no guidelines that suggest chil dren with suspected epilepsy should be given an ECG, but the department is now looking at whether every child who presents with seizures should have the heart test. Questioned by Mr Holt, Dr
Lama said that, with hindsight, they should have thought about cardiac arrhythmia in Rebecca’s case. She also conceded that more notice should have been taken of Mrs Holt’s assertion that there was no pulse during the seizures. “In a lot of cases the correct
diagnosis only comes to light when something as tragic as this happens,” she added. Recording a verdict of natural
causes, coroner Mr Michael Sin gleton said hindsight was a won derful thing. “It is always a lot easier when
you start with the answer and work back than when you have to work the other way,” said Mr Sin gleton. “I am sure that today and
every day since your daughter’s death has been a nightmare for you. I hope that, like me, you can take some comfort from the
knowledge that medical science has been advanced such that in the future some parents will not have to go through the agony that you have.” Speaking to the Clitheroe Advertiser and Times shortly
- after Becky’s death, her parents said she had a wicked sense of humour and made everyone around her laugh. “Thirteen years filled Mth fun,
laughter and love are worth cele brating. She was very lucky to have enjoyed life so much and everyone else was lucky to have known her.” Becky was a popular girl
involved in all areas of school life. She played in the girl's football, cricket, netball, badminton and rounders team, and helped the netball team win the league just before Easter. Out of school she enjoyed
cycling, skiing and playing foot ball, and was inseparable from her tMn sister, Sophie. Sophie said: “Becky was a kind
and generous girl who always thought of others. All her friends and I will really miss her, but we will remember her with a big smile on our faces.”
