When I first became a curate nearly forty years ago, my vicar used to end his introduction at weddings by reminding everyone to “chip in to keep the roof on”. In those days the Church was often seen to be fundraising to keep the building from falling down. In one parish where I was vicar, they still talked about the great efforts they had made a generation earlier to remove the steeple before it brought the whole tower down. Today, as well as working hard to keep buildings in good repair, church folk are often trying, literally, to improve their facilities. Many churches are receiving grants to install toilets, catering facilities and disabled access; some do not even have a water supply. At St Andrew's Epworth we spent over ten years restoring the building and making it watertight. We then transformed the interior with grant aid from various bodies notably Heritage Lottery Fund in order to make it more usable by the wider community. In 2014 we have had concerts, an exhibition to mark the centenary of the First World War, fundraising events for a variety of charities and even dancing for health. Today many churches and chapels welcome people of all faiths and none to a variety of events and activities. Nevertheless, they are still primarily places of worship. Without that beating heart of prayer and worship they would be just another meeting place. While furnishings and facilities are important, it is people that make a church what it is meant to be and people are our most precious resource. Ian Walker 16/10/2014

Off Road Bikes being ridden in public bridleways and green lanes around Belton and Beltoft. Update = The Neighbourhood Team have been taken an active role by patrolling the areas highlighted and responding to incidents as and when they are called by the members of the public. Calls regarding this issue have reduced dramatically and some prosecutions are still pending for offenders. I you do see anyone riding these motorcycles please contact us at the time they are occurring and providing area where seen, direction of travel, and brief description of the rider and motorcycle. Belton Pavilion = Criminal Damage and Anti-social Behaviour. There have been reports regarding damage to play equipment at the location along with antisocial behaviour in and around the main building. Update = CCTV has been viewed and offenders have been identified and will be spoken to regarding their actions and the Neighbourhood Team will continue to work closely with the Pavillion Committee to stamp out this kind of behaviour. Information Motoring Advice – to make all motorists aware of the up and coming festive season please be responsible while in control of your vehicle DON’T Drink and Drive or use your mobile phone, and please wear your seatbelt. Don’t risk your life, those of your passengers and other road users. Carry out winter checks on your vehicle ensure the fluids are all at the right levels the tyres are in good condition and all the vehicle lights are working correctly. Do not leave your car unattended to warm up on the driveway as this clearly gives a message of “STEAL ME” and will often not be covered by your insurance. Child Safety – can parents speak to their children about road safety and ensure that their children are wearing reflective/light coloured items so they can be seen on the dark evenings. As always our non-emergency number is 101, and in an emergency please dial 999. *** You can also now follow the Neighbourhood Team on Twitter @IsleAxholmeNPT *** 12 Please mention “The Arrow”Mark, when Kind Regards, Sueresponding and Stewart to advertisements

West Butterwick School News We are almost at the half-way point for this Autumn Term. The Harvest Festivals went well, raising money for two charities. St Martin’s Harvest Festival this year raised money for Anthony Nolan - a charity dedicated to supporting childhood leukaemia sufferers in the UK, saving lives of people with blood cancer. This charity was founded almost 40 years ago by Shirley Nolan, in honour of her son. The charity finds incredible individuals willing to donate blood stem cells to save the lives of people with blood cancer. Since setting up this charity, 10,000 people have received transplants that have given them a chance of life. Leukaemia is the biggest childhood cancer in the UK. West Butterwick raised money for The Forge in Scunthorpe, for the benefit of ‘vulnerable people’ in our local community such as the homeless, offering them breakfast, hot drinks, lunch and activities to engage in. Both schools in our Federation would like to thank all of the children and their families for their generous donations of gifts. West Butterwick School is about to hold the first School Community Worship (Lighting the Candle Group) of this academic year. ‘The Calming of the Storm’ is the theme. We have a new group of worship leaders this term – Jack C, Olivia, Jessica, Jack S, Emily, Nathan and Joshua P. For most of this group it will be their first time leading worship. They are looking forward to it! Mrs Josephine Buckle, Headteacher, St Martin’s and West Butterwick Church of England Primary Schools – the Trentside Federation

The Global Village Over the past weeks our news has been dominated increasingly by the outbreak of the Ebola Haemorrhagic fever, known simply as Ebola. So named after the otherwise little known river Ebola in the northern Democratic Republic of Congo, ultimately a tributary of the river Congo. The name of this river is now burnt into our consciousness, and transcends any former knowledge of African geography. It emphasises the fact that the world is but a global village, and the concerns of one country are the concerns of all. Sometimes we try to push such uneasy issues to the back of our minds but the cases in Spain and in America have rightly unsettled the complacency of the western world. Two hundred and fifty years ago a small village in north Lincolnshire, called Epworth produced a diminutive man whose life and work influenced many in his lifetime , and even more after his death. His name John Wesley, Both circumstances remind us of our common humanity, mutual interests, and our responsibility to one another as neighbours. The lawyer asked Jesus the question “Who is my neighbour?� and the story of the Good Samaritan was the response. We too know the answer, and what we are called to do. Rev David Leese, Wesley Manse, Epworth.

HOW DO YOU VALUE YOUR LANDSCAPE? The Isle of Axholme and Hatfield Chase Landscape Partnership is a new project, mainly funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) creating new opportunities to reconnect local people with their landscape and sense of place in Hatfield Woodhouse, Moorends, Thorne and the Isle of Axholme. The project hopes to fund a range of projects over five years from 2016-2020, to: • Conserve, protect and enhance the built, natural and cultural heritage of the area. • Increase people’s understanding, use and enjoyment of the heritage of the area. • Enhance the economy of the area by making it a place where people want to live, work and visit. • Support the local community by providing a range of training, skills and volunteering opportunities. • Establish a long term partnership that continues to have a positive impact on the area after the initial five years of the programme. To help this research we have been asked to contact our members/ volunteers/ supporters to encourage them to participate in the online survey that can be found at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Isle_of_Axholme_LPS The IoAHCLP would like your thoughts and ideas on how you use the area, how to open up more chances for people to benefit and enjoy it, and how these could be achieved. It would help the development of the project considerably if you would take a few minutes to complete the on‐line questionnaire at the link above. The Partnership also needs local groups, organisations and individuals to bring forward ideas and support projects that emerge in the community. If you wish to put forward a project proposal please contact us via our http://e-voice.org.uk/landscape-partnership/ contact landscapepartner24 website Please mention “The Arrow” whenorresponding to advertisements ship@northlincs.gov.uk, Tel: 01724 297642

The members of Epworth and District Flower Club began their October meeting with refreshments which were supplemented by delicious birthday cake from Mrs Marian Hughes. This was a change from the norm but the reason became obvious a little later. Debbie Beecher, the group’s chairman, welcomed everyone and especially thanked the hostesses who had adapted the refreshment serving to suit the circumstances. Rachel Poole, the demonstrator for the evening was then introduced and welcomed. With much hilarity Rachel explained how she had been so confidently misdirected to the hall and had spent a considerable time exploring Haxey and Westwoodside which made her late to prepare for her demonstration. She began with an enormous arrangement of contorted hazel attached onto a long rectangular base. Into this she placed moss, quite legally obtained from a grave digger, as moss is protected. Into her large horizontal base she placed five tall, pink gladioli and then she used leycesteria to add some dimension. Next was added ivy and pussy willow to “punctuate” before Rachel inserted pretty red, small roses to carry the colour right down into the base. Her first arrangement was then accompanied by two similar but smaller arrangements, one of which also included two ornamental brassicas. For her second arrangement Rachel began with another large container. This time it was a willow basket and she proceeded to inform us of her passion for willow. It became obvious that Rachel doesn’t do things by halves. She inserted very large, shiny fatsia leaves and explained that the arrangement would be divided for the winner. Several large creamy yellow lilies of varying height were inserted and then Rachel added hypericum and told the group that by removing the leaves the berries are encouraged to keep their colour. Three autumnal shaded ornamental gourds were placed into the arrangement and then some very pretty thistle like flower contributed more autumn colour. Candlelight roses completed that arrangement. Much interest was aroused by the next containers, a set of varying cork cylinders which each held test tubes. This time Rachel inserted cedum, leycesteria and elderberries creating a simple pendulous effect. Some of the containers then had one rose added and some had hypericum with dark berries. Rachel explained that she enjoyed modern creations and that this one was inexpensive and simple for anyone to create. Much to the amusement of her audience Rachel embarked on the fourth arrangement. This time she produced a block of loft insulating material which was stabilised with candle supports. The front was covered with bark and the block had holes drilled into the top into which were inserted, along with some dainty grasses, a variety of blue flowers. These included blue veronica, iris and agapanthus. As previously Rachel produced two more similar arrangements of varying sizes. These created a stunning modern effect. Finally, true to form Rachel produced another large base into which she inserted two long willow canes which she proceeded to fasten into a shape similar to that of an onion! Fatsia leaves and ivy were used to cover the mechanics along with hydrangea and skimmia. Then molucella was supported on the willow, beautiful lemon gladioli and lilies of a similar shade gave colour and one green anthurium, two small ornamental brassicas and some pussy willow completed another very unusual design. Again Rachel created two more similar designs of slightly different sizes. The group had been well entertained by Rachel’s repartee as she worked and she gave hints on technique to help all members. Her demonstration gave an interesting modern approach without being too “way out” and the members showed their appreciation in the usual way. There were also more raffle prizes than on some occasions as Rachel had produced so many arrangements. A little further business followed. A letter from Mrs Marian Hughes was read thanking members for their support of her fundraising activities when she celebrated her birthday. Then members were reminded to take some seasonal food contributions to the open meeting on November 17 th. Tickets for the evening are available from members and notices advertising will be in the locality. The cost is £8 and the demonstration will be given by Lyn Bottamley. It will be at the Haxey Memorial Hall at 7.30p.m.

Local animal shelter Isle Rescue benefited from a Sponsored Dog Walk in Crowle on the 11th of October
Call Kate 07758 108893 Email: katehypnotherapy@gmail.com
organised by Dog Groomer Lauren Drayton from Wet Noses Dog Spa and equestrian and pet supplier Lianne Taylor from The Feed Room. The Walk started from The Feed Room’s Shop at Oakley Equestrian Centre on the Godnow Road, and covered almost 8 miles, although there were two shorter routes. The turnout was great and almost all of the walkers completed the full walk with their dogs, ending back at the Café at the Equestrian Centre. The Walk raised a fantastic £320 for the Rescue, and everyone would like to thank Lauren and Lianne for organising the Walk and everyone at the Equestrian Centre for their hospitality- and delicious bacon sandwiches, and of course everyone who took part and all of the sponsors. The Walk has been such a success, we will be organising another one in the spring

Calling local cyclists, runners and walkers. If you would you like a larger network of safe off-road routes on the Isle, which are ideal for outdoor family activities then local community group Axholme Bridleways Association invite you to join them so that they can represent your views. Axholme Bridleways Association is currently involved with the Axholme Greenway project and the associated upgrade of local footpaths to bridleways.
WE NEED YOU !
Though the term ‘bridleways’ suggests these routes are for horses and riders, bridleways are in fact multi-user routes for cyclists, runners and walkers too. As the volume and speed of road traffic increases, it is important that vulnerable road users have access to more of these safer routes, plus spending more time outdoors is good for our health. This group was formed in 2012 to work in harmony with the community, parish councils and North Lincolnshire Council to raise awareness of the importance of safe public rights of way for all users. Axholme Bridleways Association organise various events throughout the year and have already helped raise £1500 for local charities and have held two Tidy Bridleways Days this year to help clear local routes which have become overgrown. If you would like to know more about joining this local community group please contact Axholme Bridleways Association on 07779 434213 or via email on axholmebridleways@yahoo.co.uk and ‘like’ the facebook page Axholme Bridleways Association. The next meeting will be held on Monday 10 th November at 7.30pm at the Old School Inn, Epworth.

The Sound Stealer by Joss Bradley, Year 4 A troll called at dusk, Dressed all in blood-red and grey. Put every sound into a chest, And carried them all away. The frog’s mournful croaking The roaring of a tiger. The crocodiles snapping their vicious teeth The squelching of the swamp. The sloth’s soundless snoring The growling of the leopard. The wind’s gentle whisper The flapping of the parrot’s wings. A troll called at dusk. He didn’t leave his name. Left us only in silence…. Life will never be the same.

Driving Test Facts Night Driving Dear readers, The fundamental rule of Advanced Driving – you must be able to stop within the distance you can see to be clear - this applies equally when driving at night. Away from street lighting, your vision will be limited to the range of your headlights and this varies massively between dipped and full-beam. Therefore, it makes sense that you slow down when you’re driving on dipped headlights. If you find your speed creeping up, remind yourself how dangerous it would be if you suddenly came across, a tyre carcass, a pedestrian, a stray animal or even a pallet off an HGV in your headlight beam, could you STOP! If your headlights illuminate 40 meters ahead, you’ll have just 1.5 seconds to react and stop at 60mph! Realistically, you’ll still be travelling at 40mph when you hit the obstruction!! Drive on full beam whenever possible but always think about other road users. Dip your lights as late as you possibly can, ensuring that you do not dazzle anyone and remembering that, at night, your lights give other road users the earliest warning of your presence. Clean your lights regularly as road grime quickly reduces their effectiveness and the distance you can see ahead clearly. If an approaching car forgets to dip, glance immediately towards the side of the road to avoid being temporarily blinded. On dual carriageways at 70mph you cover 31 metres (about 7 car lengths) per second, so even if it takes only five seconds for your vision to clear fully you’ll have covered a distance equivalent to one and a half football pitches! Advanced drivers know that driving in the dark isn’t all danger and drawbacks. Empty night-time roads make journeys quicker and less stressful: car headlights give early warning of their presence and the skilled driver can even use other vehicles headlight beams to work out where the road goes next. Don’t be complacent though, speed is more difficult to judge in the dark – especially approach speeds – so you should still take care and adhere to all the daylight driving rules. Dazzle from following vehicles can be just as blinding but the effect can usually be “minimised” using the dipping function on your interior mirror, which is now standard on most modern cars. Don’t forget to return the mirror to its “normal position” once the dazzle has subsided With practice, avoidance technique becomes habit. While such careless driving can be irritating, never stay on full-beam yourself to retaliate. If you would like to take a Free Public Assessment Drive please contact me below.
