By DAVID HILL
OxfordArea Schoolprincipal Mike Hart has
provided ashortbut vivid description of how
the master planfor his school’s$10 million
redevelopment is taking shape: Awesome.
The revamp will be the biggest development
on OxfordArea School’s Bay Road site in
nearly150 years.
Athfield Architects and project manager
RDT Pacific presentedamasterplan to the
board of trustees on Monday evening.
‘‘It looks awesome, but it needstogotothe
Ministry (of Education) before we can share it
with the community,’’ he says.
OxfordArea Schoolwas established in 1978,
with OxfordDistrict High School merging
with neighbouringprimaryschools.
Next yearmarks 150 years since the district
high schoolwas first established, in 1872.
‘‘There are buildingsonthe site thathad a
life before being partofOxfordArea School,
so the opportunitytodesignand develop
modern classrooms to teach students in the
21st century is veryexciting,’’MrHart says.
The master plan willset avisionfor the next
50 years,allowing for the growth of the school
on the fourhectare site, before the more
detailed designphase begins.
Mr Hart says the redevelopment is likelyto
see several classroom blocks replaced, along
with the school’sadministration blockand
library. Redevelopment of the school’s
science block is long overdue,hesays.

with the Hurunui District Council for
the gravitybasedride, which will be

The proposal has been given several

concerns about noise and carparking
on social media in recentdays.
The consent application revealsthat
the ride would be shifted fromthe
south side of ConicalHill to the west

because of noiseand privacy concerns.
There is no provision for car parking,
withthe applicant, Hanmer Springs

abletoput acar park on reserveland.
However, it intends to market the
ride as awalk from the villagetothe

putting 2020 firmly behind us,
and enjoying great North
Canterbury theatre again,’’
Grant says.
‘‘Rehearsals are proceeding
exceptionally well, and with the
extra time to rehearse, the cast
will be at the top of their game.’’

1964, with earlier iterations
reportedly established in the
1920s.
The group regularly puts on
one or two shows ayear,
operates costume and technical
equipment hire, and runs
singing groups.
Joseph and the Amazing
Technicolor Dreamcoat will play
at the Rangiora Town Hall from
May 13 to 29, with evening shows
and matinees. Ticket sales open

Claire McKay
Environment Canterbury Councillor
Shows are local treasures
The cycle of autumn show days in the
Hurunui district is now complete.
Each event provides agreat
opportunity for the Hurunui
community to come together.
Iwas so impressed with the Amuri
Show Committee.
Despite being hampered by the
unique and unpredictable passage of
the coronavirus, they reacted positively
with acommunity barbecue and good
oldfashioned fun for the children.
It was agreat day thanks to the
initiative of this year’s presidents, Don
and Annie McLean.
In Cheviot, it was another community
event with successful sponsorship and
community support.
Presidents Don and Kate Anderson
were instrumental in showcasing talent
from across the district —music and
singing was not only entertaining, but
top class.
The final show, on Saturday at
Hawarden, hosted by Jim and Ramona
Sidey, was agreat occasion, with
everything that suggests participation
on show day is as strong as ever.
Iespecially enjoyed seeing so many
children entering the show, and Ihope
that it inspires them to alifetime of
support and community participation.
Nigel Latta spoke at apresentation in
Omihi hosted by the North Canterbury

Ahealth warning has been issuedafter

provide about 55 percent of the funding,
with the balance being userpays or
grants.
Proposed Option 1requires an extra
$29 million from ratepayers, an increase
of 24.5% on last year. Option 2requires
about $21 million, an increase of 18%.
The increase for each ratepayer will
be different depending on the services
received, and in dollar terms varies from
less than $100 to several thousand
dollars. These are significant increases,
not only in the current pandemic
environment but in any situation.
The information you need to
understand the aims and rationale
behind this proposed increase can be
found at haveyoursay.ecan.govt.nz/ltp.
The 40page consultation document
outlines proposed work and funding,
with the fuller 300page supplementary
information adding another layer of
detail.
The rates calculator compares the
impact of each option on your property.
The second rates tool is abubble or line
tool, depending on the device from
which you are accessing it.
It drills down into each portfolio work
programme proposed in Option 1ineven
greater detail of activity, funding
amount and funding source.
The consultation document and
submission form identifies areas where
specific feedback is sought.
Additional feedback and any
alternative suggestions on affordability,
activities, funding and how quickly to
achieve desired outcomes is welcome.
Longterm plans should be carefully
balanced to meet the region’s future
needs, to consider the desires of the
wider community and, most of all, to be
affordable.
Does this LTP resonate with you?
It is important that people provide
feedback by way of asubmission to help
shape the LTP’s final form and funding.
We need to hear your views.
It is critical that Environment
Canterbury gets this right. Iamhappy to
help you understand the LTP. Contact

The need to stay safe in our own homes
By INSPECTOR PETER COOPER,
area commander, NZ Police, Canterbury Rural
Last Saturday night one of our police
team received moderately seriousstab
wounds while attending afamily harm
incident.
Incidents such as these are astark
reminderofthe highrisk environmentin
whichthe police areoftenaskedto
operate.
Thankfully,the officerwill make afull
recovery.
Iamoften asked by my boss, “whatis
your greatest worrykeeping youupat
night?”.
For me, it is these eventswhere one of
our team is hurt, or worse still, doesn’t
come home to their family.
Conflictinthe home is our major
demand, accounting for half of police
time.
The secondarea of demand involves
times of crisis faced by those suffering
from mental healthissues, which make
up 20 percent of our calls.
We continuetowork hardwith the
assistanceofother partners in the
community to ensurethat everyone feels
safe, and is safe, in their own home.
However, we cannot achieve this on our
own and we willalwaysneedthe helpof
the community.
We simply can’tbeeverywhere in the
districtormeet everyone’sexpectations
of us.
We use evidence and intelligence,not
social media or rumours, to deploy our
resources.
We look to thecommunity for the
complete picture of whatishappening in
our community.
105 is our nonemergency reporting
number and 111 remains for emergency
calls.
Staysafe at home, on the roads and in
the community.

Highest standards achieved
through trust and respect
In November 2016 the historic
24-stand Highfield Woolshed near
Waiau was all but destroyed in a7.8
magnitude quake.
Built in 1876 it was the heart of the
Northcote family’s farming business,
and also apartofthe wider Waiau
community having hosted many
weddings, shows and community
celebrations.
Walls becameseparatedfrom the
roof, and asection collapsed. The
structure also shifted off its piles and
was about 600mm out of level.
The skills of local construction
company,BGBeaven Builders, and
heritage architect Dave Pearson, saw
the woolshed restored to its former
glory.
The sympathetic restoration of
the woolshed and the high standard
of workmanship, within budget,
was rewarded at the New Zealand

project team partner,was awarded
aSilver,and also won the Special

Dogs play major role at
Hawarden A&P Show
By SHELLEY TOPP
Dogs finally had their longawaited
theme day at the Hawarden A&P Show
last Saturday.
Canines played abig role in the
114th annual show.
Ayear after Covid19 prevented the
last show from going ahead,
presidents Jim and Ramona Sidey
decided to revisit their 2020 theme,
‘‘Who Let The Dogs Out?’’
The show featured all sorts of dogs,
including North Canterbury Dog
Training Club canines, working dogs,
family pets, dogs herding ducks, and
those taking part in the popular
terrier race.
There was even aWho Let The Dogs
Out Again/Our Community photo
exhibition, featuring images from the
competition which had been judged
before last year’s show was cancelled.
During lockdown, competition
organiser and professional
photographer Lucy HunterWeston,
who is also on the show’s executive
committee, created an online
exhibition of the photos for the
Hawarden A&P Show website.
The photographs are still up on the
website, and she also included prints
of the images at this year’s show.
She hopes to eventually create a
book of the photos for the community.
Saturday’s show was also abig day
out for new secretary/treasurer
Angela Cooper.
‘‘It is my first year in the role and
there is alot to learn,’’ she said last
Saturday.
It was ahectic day for her, and she
didn’t get outside much to enjoy show
activities and displays. However, she
still enjoyed her day.

Farming in the

Marie amaster at multi-tasking
By DAVID HILL
RunninganAngusstud,raising
anewborn child andpreparing
foranA&Pshowis allina
day’swork for Marie
FitzPatrick.
The 28yearold is set to
becomeone ofthe youngest
show presidents when she
presides over the Oxford A&P
Show on Saturday, April 3.
“Things do take abitlonger
whenyou're ayoung mumand
afarmer,but weare getting
good atmultitasking,” Marie
says.Having an engineer
husband at home to take care
of the farm machinery
certainly helps. Andrew
FitzPatrickwasraised on a
sheep andbeeffarm at Fairlie.
“I have averysupportive
husband who has been able to
look after the farm, and the
machinery is getting alot
bettertreated,”she says.
“I canstill do thestock work,
but Ican’t quite fit it all in.”
❛Our show has areally good committee, which is
very supportive and quite young in comparison to
other committees. ❜
Baby Margaretwillbebarely
eightweeks old on show day,
but has alreadybeenpresent
forscanningattwo weeksold,
weaningatfourweeks,and
was“outandabout” at anonfarm
heifer competition at six
weeks. “She will know thatthe
Angusisthebestbytheendof
it,” Marie says.
The family’sfarm, Timperlea
Angus,has 120 studcowsand
will host thethird onfarmbull
sale in October.
“It’svery exciting. It’s been
very well supported and we’ve
had some really good averages;
and everyone seems to be
pleased withourbulls.”
Marie andAndrew also
winter graze dairy cows for her
—Marie FitzPatrick
sisters and keep enough sheep
“to train the dogs”.
“Withthebaby around, the
dogs are getting alotless
attention thantheynormally
do,soweneededthesheep to
keep them busy.”
Marie’s sisters, Victoriaand
Hazel, andtheir respective
partners GlenTraynerand
Matt Clark, sharemilkfor their
parents, Clarenceand Linda
Timperley.
TheTimperleyfamilywillbe
well representedinthe crops
andbaleageclasses,and the
baking and jam classes, while
Marie’s nieces will be
competing in the highland
dancing section, organised by
her sister, Victoria.
“The hay and baleage
competition is going to be hotly
contestedbyour family to see
who’s going to win.
“We’re all going to the show,
so mum is on grandparent duty.
Between us there’s seven
grandkids.”
Marieis partofayouthful
presidentialteam,with senior
vicepresident Letitia
Schroeder (whowould have
been president last year) and
Steve Macauley bothunder40.
“Weare really lucky. Our
showhas areally good
committee, which is very
supportive and quiteyoungin
comparison to other
committees, so we will
hopefully haveabit more
longevity.
“And we have an amazing
secretaryin ChristineRoberts,
who doesn’t want any more
young mumsfor awhile.But
we arereally luckytohaveher
as sheruns it like awelloiled
machine.”
Dairy cattle to make awelcome return to show
Dairy cattle will make a
welcome return to the Oxford
A&P Show on Saturday, April
3.
While beef cattle made a
return for the 2019 show, dairy
cattle classes are being offered
for the first time since the
Mycoplasma bovis outbreak
nearly four years ago,
executive officer Christine
Roberts says.
‘‘We are really grateful for
the support that we’ve
received from dairy exhibitors
that have put their trust in us
and are coming back to the
show.’’
The relatively low numbers
of dairy cattle means there
will be plenty of room to
spread out the cattle, to ensure
no nosetonose contact.
Dairy cattle classes were
planned for last year’s show,
which was cancelled because
of Covid19.
This year’s dairy cattle
judge is making the trip down
from the North Island, while
the beef cattle judge is coming
up from Southland.

School expands farm programme
By DAVID HILL
Oxford AreaSchool’s
agricultural programme
continues to grow.
PrincipalMike Hart says the
school is offering anew
practical onfarm courseas
part of an expanded
programme.
The new course builds on the
agricultural opportunities
offered, including competing
in the New Zealand Young
Farmers’ AgriKidsand junior
youngfarmer competitions, the
school’s own futurefarmer
contest,and the Oxford A&P
Show.
‘‘We are very excited to be
able to offer anew NCEA level
1course with amix of theory
and practical work,’’ Mr Hart
says.
The course has been
prepared by teacherJoseph
Burston and is supported by a
localfarmer, who has madehis
woolshed and part of his farm
available.
‘‘We are very lucky to have a
passionate teacher in Joseph
Burston,who is also afarmer of
goats,’’ Mr Hartsays.
‘‘He has come up with his
own vision and planneditout
and organised it. It takes the
passion of ateacher to make
thesethingswork becauseit
takesalot of extra hours.’’
The woolshed willbeused as
aclassroom, with students able
to apply their lessons into
making decisions aroundwhat
cropstoplant, stock to buy and
whether to repair fences.
‘‘It’s vital thatstudents can
applytheir knowledge and that
they make gooddecisions as
theirlegacywill be passedon
to next year’s group.’’

year’s Tasman region AgriKids

OXFORD A&P SHOW
24 North Canterbury News, March 25, 2021
Shearers have asecond crack at celebrating
By DAVID HILL
Oxford’s veteran shearers are hoping for
second time lucky as they look to
celebrate 50 years of shearing.
The Oxford A&P Show was scheduled
to mark 50 years of shearing at the show
last year, until the event was cancelled
because of the pandemic.
Shearing was first introduced to the
Oxford A&P Show in 1971, with 24
shearers and three blade shearers
lining up.
Among those first competitors was
Colin King, alefthanded shearer who
went on to win the Golden Shears three
times. He later became Kaikoura MP
from 2005 to 2014, while Alex Macdonald
went on to win aworld blade shearing
title in Ireland.
Shearing judge Noel Hanley says
some of the original shearers are hoping
to do ademonstration during lunchtime
at this year’s show, including Mr King
and Roddy Kidd, who instigated the
competition.
An amateur artist, Mr Kidd created a
display board listing all 56 shearers in
the Oxford district from 1965 to 1975 for
last year’s show, which will be hung in
the showgrounds shearing pavilion.
With shearing entries closing on the
day, Mr Hanley says it is always ‘‘a bit of
an unknown’’ how many shearers will
compete, but he noted other shows
around the region had been well
supported this season.
‘‘Usually, Oxford clashes with the
Auckland Easter Show or the New
Zealand Shearing Championships in Te
Kuiti, but we’re not clashing this year.
‘‘So with Oxford on the Saturday and
the Mackenzie Highland Show on the
Monday, hopefully it might bring afew
North Islanders down.’’
The Auckland Royal Easter Show has
been cancelled because of Covid19,
while the Te Kuiti Shears are being held
the following weekend.
‘‘With alot of events called off,
shearers just want to get out and
compete. It’s agood way for them to
connect with other shearers and
different gangs around the country, and
line up work for other times of the year,’’
Mr Hanley says.
Characters remembered ... Roddy Kidd

shearers in the Oxford district from 1965 to
1975. It will take pride of place in the
shearing pavilion at the showgrounds.

Big push for new community hub
By DAVID HILL
Pegasus needs its own communitycentre
to support agrowing population, says
Rhonda Mather.
Withapopulation now in excess of 3500,
Pegasus is ‘‘far outstripping predictions’’,
the Pegasus CommunityCentrevolunteer
says.
While the townhas atemporary
communitycentre, comprising two leased
shops in the town centre, the Waimakariri
DistrictCouncil is proposing apurposebuilt
centre in the 2021/31 Long Term Plan.
‘‘There’s alot of young families and
retiredpeopleinthe community,’’ Rhonda
says.
‘‘Our longterm goalwas always to have
our own community centre and our
submissionlast yearaskedfor the council
to put some land aside.
‘‘Weare pushing to get it completed in
threeyears and we are asking people to
make asubmission.’’
The council proposes to set aside$4.5
million in the LTP to buy land in the
2021/22 financial year, and the
constructionofa385 squaremetre
community centre is expected to begin in
2024.
Rhonda says the temporary community
centre is staffed by apool of 26 volunteers
rostered for two hours,three daysaweek.
The centreisabusy place, with236
visitors to thecentreinthe last three
months alone —and that doesn’t include
groupbookings and the 12 regular user
groups.
Acommunity bookcase withfree books
and jigsawpuzzles is available at the
centre, while Rangiora’s Hope Community
Trustbegan offering weekly counselling
sessions this month.
Despite perceptions, the centreisrun
entirely by volunteers,with no paid staff.
But the team is set to receiveaboost,
with agroupofuniversitystudents about
to do afiveweek internship under the
guidance of volunteer Pegasuscommunity
connector Ronel Stephens.
‘‘Theywill help us put together some
activities. Aschool holiday programme is
somethingthat is lacking in Pegasus,so
that’sone of theoptions,’’ Rhonda says.
Ronel’s Community Cuppa is apopular
event in the centre, and it has received a
boost with a$500 grant from the Woodend
SeftonCommunity Board.
‘‘Ronel is abit of alegend in our
community and there’sareason it’scalled
Ronel’s Community Cuppa, because it
wouldn’t be the samewithouther,’’
Rhondasays.
‘‘It’sbeen going for four years, as longas
the centre has been open, and Ronelwas
footing the bill herself to start with.’’

Shear determination
drives Troy’ssuccess
By DAVID HILL
As ateenager growing up in Southland
two decades ago, Troy Pyper had one
goal —torepresent New Zealand in
shearing.
Mr Pyper, now settled in Cheviot, has
been selected for three transTasman
shearing test teams and has shorn sheep
around the world.
‘‘My advice to young shearers starting
out is to make agoal and make it happen.
Whatever you do, you’ve got to have a
goal; otherwise you’re just coasting.
‘‘It’s alittle bit of hard work, but it’s
definitely worth it and it takes you
places. It’s taken me around the world.’’
Growing up around shearers, his
mother was ashearer’s cook and his
uncle and cousin were both professional
shearers.
‘‘My cousin said ‘you never really start
shearing until you’re 30 years old’, so I
went overseas and had some fun and
then Icame back.’’
After shearing professionally for just
three months, Mr Pyper met ayoung
Welsh shearer who invited him to work
in Wales.
That was 20 years ago and, as a
teenager, he won the senior final at the
Royal Welsh Show.
On his way back, Mr Pyper worked in
Western Australia, where he was
introduced to Merinos.
‘‘I jumped off the plane, Iwas just 18 or
19 years old, and Icaught abus and went
up to aplace called Dongara.
‘‘That experience in Western
Australia shaped me as ashearer,’’ Mr
Pyper says.
While there he received mentoring
from an experienced shearer who had
represented both New Zealand and
Australia in shearing tests.
Of all the breeds he has shorn, Merino
is his preferred sheep.
Last October, Mr Pyper won the New
Zealand Merino Championship at
Waimate, which earned him selection in
the New Zealand test team to face
Australia for the third time.
The test has not taken place because of

partnerRipeka Ferris. PHOTO:ELITE WOOLINDUSTRY TRAINING
Covid19, but he was part of the national
team which defeated Australia at the
Golden Shears last year, having
previously been part of aNew Zealand
team which lost on Australian soil.
Over the years, Mr Pyper has won 32
open finals including four in Australia,
the New Zealand Corriedale
Championship at the Canterbury A&P
Show in 2015 and 2018 and the New
Zealand longwool title at Lumsden last
year, as well as two appearances in the
Golden Shears final.
His personal bests are 670 crossbred
lambs shorn in aninehour day and 500
ewes in 9hours, but he hopes to pass 600
ewes and 700 lambs.
Now living in Cheviot with his partner,
Ripeka Ferris, Mr Pyper says he enjoys
being close to the beach.
‘‘You’ve got to work and have abit of
leisure as well. Ienjoy abit of fishing
and surfcasting and Ijust love
everything about the beach. It’s my local
supermarket.’’

Ideas grow into business enterprises
By DAVID HILL
The Covid19 experience has prompted
locals to explore new opportunities.
Enterprise North Canterbury
business manager Miles Dalton has
been flooded with enquiries since last
year’s lockdown, as local residents have
taken the opportunity to reexamine
their goals.
More than 100 enquiries have been
received from people interested in
going out on their own over the last 12
months.
He is working with 27 projects likely to
lead to new businesses and several are
expected to create jobs.
Waipara resident John Dingle has
taken the plunge, launching anew
business, New Life Washing Machines,
in September.
‘‘I’ve had thoughts of being my own
boss for anumber of years, but it was
Repairs ... John Dingle, of Waipara, has
created abusiness out of giving new life to
washing machines.
that time of being at home around Covid
that prompted me.
‘‘I had the time to fiddle with abroken
washing machine we had at home
during the lockdown and it just went
from there.’’
After seeking advice from friends, he
sat down with an accountant and
registered acompany name, but soon
realised there was alot more to it.
Thanks to Ministry of Social
Development funding, ENC has been
able to offer afree business startup
course and Mr Dingle was lucky enough
to get on the course.
‘‘It was really helpful and filled in alot
of gaps and opened my eyes to what a
business is about, and knowing all the
resources that are available to help you.
‘‘And now I’m able to get ongoing
support from Miles.’’
Mr Dingle is buying old washing
machines and giving them acleanup
and service to onsell with athreemonth
warranty.
Nutritionist Alyssa Wright has been
quietly working away at setting up her
own business, Youtrition, since the
lockdown.
She says completing ENC’s business
course has been abig help.
‘‘There’s alot more to it that Ididn’t
even think about.
‘‘It has helped to answer my questions
and it’s not so daunting now. It’s just
taken alot longer than Ithought to do it
properly.
‘‘It’s alot of hard work, but knowing
there’s someone you can talk to makes a
big difference.’’
Ms Wright is looking to develop an
online presence with videos and recipes
to raise her profile so she can offer
individualised nutrition services.
Both Mr Dingle and Ms Wright are
continuing to work in paid employment
while their businesses become
established.
They encourage others to take the
plunge, provided they do their
homework first.
‘‘I would say to anybody who has an
idea, to go and talk to abusiness adviser
or someone who is in business already,
and once you’ve gathered some
information, go to an accountant so see
what’s required,’’ Mr Dingle says.
New opportunities ... Alyssa Wright is looking to turn her nutrition expertise into a
business venture.

Ms Wright cautions: ‘‘Don’t try to do it
all on your own.
‘‘Seek as much help as you can and
take your time.’’
There are several options for setting
up abusiness, depending on what
prospective business owners want to
achieve, including charitable trusts,
social enterprises or commercial
enterprises.

Finalists decided
in tight matches
Sefton and Darfield will compete
for country cricket’s premiership
this weekend after both won
enthralling semifinals on
Saturday.
Two CRV Ambreed Country
Premier One Day 2020/21
competition semifinal matches
came down to the wire.
At Sefton Domain, visiting
Ohoka batted first and made 237/7
thanks to half centuries from
opener Daniel Lyons (69 runs off
84 balls) and Harry Fitzpatrick (59
off 83).
There were afew late lusty
blows from Austin Hamilton,
whose unbeaten 36 off just 23
balls meant Ohoka went into the
change of innings with adecent
total and full confidence.
Sefton’s run chase was
stuttering at 97/4, before Lance
Taylor (49 off 84) and Seals club
legend Nigel Granger (51 off 47)
put their finals hopes back on
track.
But Ohoka still held the upper
hand going into the final overs,
with time running help.
Enter Tim Muir to the batting
crease, whose big hitting turned
the match with the flash of his
blade.
Muir smashed astaggering 42
runs off just 18 balls, including
three sixes, to help Sefton snatch
asensational twowicket win on
the penultimate delivery,
stunning ashocked Ohoka, which
appeared to have the game in the
bag.
Sefton will play this weekend’s
final against Darfield, which also
came out on the right side of a
close and quality match against
LeestonSouthbridge.
Darfield batted first at Leeston
Park and, thanks to contributions
throughout its order, made 209 in
its allotted 45 overs.
Half centuries from brothers
Harry and Sam Chamberlain set
up LeestonSouthbridge, which
appeared to be cruising for
victory. But when Harry, a
Canterbury Aplayer, was trapped
lbw by Zak Foulkes, who grabbed
four wickets with the ball, the tide
started to turn.
Ben Chamberlain then took up
the challenge, making arunaball
28 before he was out in the
43rd over, still with 21 runs
needed for victory.
In the end, Leeston
Southbridge fell seven runs short,
missing out on achance to add the
Canterbury Country T20 title to
the season’s achievements.
Short scoreboards
Ohoka 237/7 (D Lyons 69, H

HOWAMARVEL HEALTH SCAN CAN
HELP BOOST YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM
When you think of your
immune system, you
probably think ofhow the
body fights viruses and

system performs amuch
more significant role than
that. Your immune system
regulates inflammation,
and unregulated
inflammation isthe cause
of nearly every disease.
Inflammationdescribes the
body’sresponsetoaninjury.
Therefore,inflammation has abeneficial
purpose in thebody. It helps thebody
repair itself.Theproblem is when
inflammation becomesuncontrollable,
when theimmunesystembecomes
dysfunctional.
At Marvel Health,Our Full-body
Scan examines thebodyindetailto

The humanbodystrivesfor homeostasis

systemplays acrucial part in this process.
The immune systemisresponsible for

serious consequences.
“The speed you are travelling atdirectly impacts
the outcome if you have tobrake suddenly, take
evasive action or are unfortunate enough tohave a
crash,” Colin says. “Speed always plays apart and
can be the difference between someone walking
away from acrash or not.”

“The Key of Knowledge ..“(Luke 11:52)
THE GOD OF THE BIBLE
-THE ONLY TRUE GOD
There are a multitude of idols classed as
‘gods’. How does this compare with the Bible’s
statement that there is ONE God and no-one else
beside him. Therefore he must be supreme. All
Bible claims are supported by evidence, proving
his existence, and providing hope and confidence
in the promises recorded by his prophets. What
book can compare with the Scriptures in giving
an answer to all the questions of life?
