Transplant that led to ^ a tragedy


A Gl-YEAR-OLD Clitheroe woman who underwent a liver trans­ plant in 2001 died after developing bronchopneu­ monia as a result of immunosupression thera­


py- An inquest heard that


Mrs Joan Mary Starkie had been prone to infec­ tion as a result of the transplant at St James Hospital, in Leeds, but without the surgery she was told she would only have six months to live. Mr Malcolm Starkie,


. of Ribble Way, Low ■ Moor, Clitheroe, told how his wife developed a chest infection in Febru­ ary as a result of which her GP referred her to hospital. She was admit­ ted to the medical assess­ ment ward, but her con­ dition deteriorated and she died the next day. Dr Richard Prescott


gave the cause of death as bronchopneumonia due to immunosupression therapy following a liver transplant. Coroner Mr Michael Singleton recorded a narrative ver­ dict which reflected the series of events leading to Mrs Starkie’s death.


Fatty liv^ killed him


A CATERER found dead at his home in Sta­ tion Court, Clitheroe, died of a fatty liver. • An inquest heard that


Nicholas Lawrence Trim- by (48) had an alcohol level at the time of death which would have led to severe intoxication, but it was not in: the fatal range. The medical cause of

the past four years and recently joined


-its UK board. "ft “I have been helping the charity in particular with building designs for the new community at Eldoret, Kenya,” said Chris.


:■ “Open Arms International (OAI) has • already had about 30 people from Clitheroe and the North West visit


■ Eldoret to help with the project. The firet IS.orphans and new parents have just moved onto the site in the past few '.weeks. All funds raised from the More­ cambe Bay walk will be used directly for the,everyday needs and medical requirements of the orphans.” -


. Chris; who has been to Africa three times in the past year, hopes that the


sponsored walk will become an annual


■ event. He has already received backing V and sponsorship from several Ribble


■ Valley organisations, including Greenacre Honda, Whalley Warm and Dry, New Creations'Christian Book-


• shop, Hodgson’s Coaches and others. The Clitheroe-based Lancaster Foun- dation, set up by Chris’s former boss,


‘ Ultraframe founder John Lancaster, has also been a strong supporter of OAI. Coach transport for the walk will be


: available from Clitheroe, leaving at noon, or walkers can make their own way to Arnside Front in good time for


.


: the 2 p.m. start. The walk is eight miles across the flat sands, with some pad­ dling through- water, and. offers


panoramic views across Morecambe Bay to the Lakeland fells. I t takes about three-and-a-half hours, can be easily completed by most reasonably fit people and makes a fun day out.. All participants will receive a com­


memorative T-shirt and there will be special awards for the individual walker and the family collecting most sponsor­ ship. There is an entry fee of £7 per per­ son to ensure that none of the money raised in sponsorship goes on the costs of organising the event. ■ For more information on how to take


part, or other ways to support the OAI charity, phone Chris or Linda Richard­ son on 01200 441881 or e-mail; crichardsonhome@btinternet.com


City break for artist _____ by Duncan Smith -


A' SELF-TAUGHT artist, from Clitheroe is enjoying his first exhibition in London's West End.


. Jonny Rotherham is a contemporary figu­ rative painter who has been painting profes­ sionally for three years. With a growing rep­ utation and his work increasingly: in demand, he has already exhibited extensive- • ly across the North West, the highlight ' being a solo show at Selfridges in Exchange Square, Manchester.


- - Now his work has been spotted b y a


respected London dealer and on Wednesday he attended a preview night for the first London exhibition to feature his work. It is being held at Fiumano Fine Art, in Con­ naught Street, which specialises in contem­ porary British and Italian paintings. “Francesca Fiumano made a trip over to '


Clitheroe to view my work back in March : and agreed there and then that she wanted to'take me to London',” said Jonny. ; • “I am the first new artist to be accepted


by her gallery in the past year and she has more than ,20 artists a week submitting work. “I have four pieces in the exhibition.


which runs until June 24th, and I am very excited.' I like to capture attitude and energy in my work, which is mainly concerned with the female figure. I enjoy doing private com­ mission work as well as gallery exhibitions and pieces for interior designers.”


More of Jonny's work can be viewed on


his website which is at: ■

Pub is revived


A POPULAR village pub is back in business after a local family saved it from closure.-


. - The Brown Cow, Chatburn, was shut for several


weeks before customer-turned-landlord Andrew Lam­ bert decided to sample life on the other side of the bar. , With backing from his family, Andrew, former cap-


,tain of Chatburn Cricket Club, is enjoying the chal­ lenge .


There was a Spanish flavour to the re-opening, when customers, friends and family tucked into a


-.giant paella cooked in the pub by Neil Waterfield, of Waterfields Deli, Clitheroe.


. ; New landlord Andrew is planning other themed^ nights over the coming weeks in a bid to make the


Brown Cow a focal point for village life again! He plans to make the best of the pub’s large function r o ^ and beer garden over the summer months; ' ■ I he kitchen is being refurbished and Andrew will soon be serving a full range of food. "

jidmits. deceit


A CROWN Prosecutor has revealed the latest


scam being run by car insurance dodgers. ■ Mrs Alex Mann told Blackburn magistrates that the motoring courts were seeing a lot of cases where people have applied for insurance and set up a direct debit.


But after the first pay­


ment has been made and the certificate of insur­ ance received, the pay­ ments are stopped, leav­ ing the driver with a doc- ument to produce but actually uninsured. “It is quite a prevalent


thing at the moment, although I can’t say that is what has happened here,” said Mrs Mann. She was referring to


the case of Mark Proctor (23), of Peel Park Close, Clitheroe, who pleaded guilty to two charges of using insurance docu­ ments with intent to deceive and four charges of dri-ving. without insur­ ance. He was made subject


to a 9 p.m. to 7 a.m. cur-^ few for 30 days, fined £700 and banned from drmng for one year. ■


-Mr Alfred Rebello


(defending) said Proctor had taken out insurance in good faith, but his life was chaotic at the time. “The first payment


was taken out and he thought the rest would just follow,’’ said Mr Rebello. The offences were com­


mitted in 2006 and Mr Rebello said his client had spent the past 14 months in India. “On his return he was


told by his family that a - warrant was outstanding and he immediately sur­ rendered himself,” said


MrRebello.- “He says the trip to


India has been a great learning curve and he is anxious to make a fresh start.” ■


Lccused of langer drive


A’CHARGE of danger­ ous driving on the A59 and A671 a t Clitheroe will put a Blackburn mrjf in the dock at Presto^


Crown Court. Fareed Ismail Talaty


(27), of Langham Road, Illackburn,was commit­ ted on bail by the town’s


magistrates to appear at th e \Crown 'Court. .In -


addition to the dangerous driving- charge,- he is.


accused of failing to slop and failing to report an . accident. - - ■ >
