FORRESKINLOSS

The holiday season is approaching,

many of us will have the opportunity

to take time out and replenish our

energy, charge ourselves up with

vitamin D from sunlight in preparation

for the seemingly endless dark

winters days that we endure in this

part of the United Kingdom. I

remember as a child the excitement

of going on holiday to Burntisland in

Fife with its links, golden beach and

fairground. It was clearly a different

age back then - entertainment had

not expanded and had not gone

digital. It was real time excitement on

the dodgems, roundabouts, carousel

(“golden gallopers”), ghost train

waltzer, helter skelter and for the less

adventurous penny arcades, 22 rifle

shooting, fishing for ducks, hoopla,

prize bingo and the magic mirrors.

I have to admit, my limited financial

resources combined with an irrational

fear of disorientation dictated a

certain limitation on the adventure

that could be experienced on the

adrenalin packed rides. One of the

things I most enjoyed was the magic

mirrors. As a young child, I would run

from mirror to mirror calling on my

parents or anyone else who

happened to be in the tent to come

and see what I looked like. It’s truly

remarkable what an amazing effect a

few kinks on a chromed steel mirror

can make - rendering you short and

squat one moment or tall and skinny

the next. One minute you have legs

like tree stumps, the body shape of a

bowling ball and a neck like a bulldog

- the next the legs of an antelope,

body of a stick insect, neck of an

ostrich and the head of a giraffe.

Such distortions, while spectacular,

are nothing compared to those we

create in our own minds. Sometimes

we belittle ourselves to a point where

we feel we have no stature at all, yet,

conversely we can create an over

inflated opinion of our own

importance and our ego is in danger

of exploding. What compounds our

problem is that we are seldom aware

of this situation and we can so easily

confuse this illusion with reality. Pride

is a dangerous thing. There are

numerous passages in the Bible that

warn us against it - the New

Testament book of James gives this

stern warning: “God opposes the

proud, but gives grace to the humble”

(James 4:6). There are few human

traits less desirable, yet more

common, than pride. Equally, we

should beware of devaluing who and

what we are. God wants us each to

have an intrinsic sense of our own

worth and, similarly, an appreciation

of the worth of others. None of us are

perfect, but no one is beyond

redemption.

The Apostle Paul, in his letter to the

Romans, said, “For by the grace

given me I say to every one of you:

Do not think of yourself more highly

than you ought, but rather think of

yourself with sober judgment, in

accordance with the faith God has

distributed to each of you” (Romans

12:3).

We must neither build ourselves up

nor cut ourselves down - it’s advice

we would all do well to heed.

Blessings and peace.

Rev. Andrew Robertson,

St Andrews Lhanbryde and

Urquhart Church

KERBSIDE RECYCLING (DONNIEMACLEAN)Recycling is necessary to reduce the costof disposing of our rubbish. Examples ofcosts were given to the ScottishGovernment of £2m per year, includingLandfill Tax, and making and sealing alandfill cell which costs £4m. A waste auditwas carried out which showed that 30% offood waste was going to landfill which cost£500k. Clearly there is an opportunity tosave cash by greater use of recycling.New Bins (Blue & Purple) will be issued inElgin between 28th April & 3rd May 2013.What Goes WhereGreen Bin – Household WasteBlue Bin – Paper & CardBrown Bin – Garden Waste & Food Waste(via Grey pot)Purple Bin – Plastic & metal containersOrange Box - GlassAlastair Kennedy asked about recyclingperformance in Moray? We are 2nd or 3rdon the recycling league table for Scotland.Anne Glover asked about the spacerequired for all these bins, particularly inflats. Some places will have designatedcommunal bin areas.Cllr John Divers asked about the problemof people leaving their bins out all week.The Council does not have a policy on this.The general rules are, one bin perhousehold and where necessary, a biggerbin can be provided.Gordon Methven asked about visuallyimpaired users given the colour coding.Bins are identifiable to visually impairedusers by raised writing.George Littlejohn asked about communalbins in areas such as Darliston. These willbe worked out along existing lines andadjusted if necessary.James Wiseman asked what happens ifyou miss bin night? Phone Moray Counciland hopefully an arrangement can bemade. James acknowledged that it wasunlikely to happen very often but couldhappen.

3. MATTERS ARISINGKing Street: On-going. James Wiseman stillin touch with local residents.Fairtrade: See Report from Mary Wall.Taxi Signs: Alastair Kennedy to arrangemeeting with Ian Emslie of the Taxi DriversAssociation. Alastair Kennedy, GeorgeLittlejohn & Steven Christie (SPICE) toattend.WLR: Cllr John Divers had attended ameeting convened by the DesigningStreets Action Group with RichardHeartland, Roddy Burns (CEO), ElginSouth Ward Councillors and RichardLochhead regarding the WLR, where it hadbeen said that the planning application waslikely to be lodged Autumn 2013 therefore,a pre-application consultation would likelytake place at the end of the Summer. CllrGraham Leadbitter advised that the Councilmight decouple the section of road to thenew high school because it is neededearlier.

4. POLICE & COMMUNITYWARDEN UPDATECrime figures are on track for an excellentend of financial year result. For example,antisocial behaviour incidents are down by20 from last year with a 75% detection rate,which is high against the average of 50-60%. Serious and Violent Crime is alsodown 10 from last year to 17 in total with a90% detection rate. These excellent resultsare thought to be due to Pubwatch,Education and the reintroduction ofCommunity Wardens.George P Littlejohn asked about trafficproblems at Bishopmill School, particularlyinconsiderate parking.Ewen Strachan advised that the Policewere aware of this and were going to targetpatrols in the area to educate drivers. Healso noted that this problem is widespreadat most primary schools in Elgin.Alastair Kennedy sought confirmation thatparking on the pavement was illegal andasked if photographic evidence could be

used. Ewan Strachan confirmed thatparking on the pavement was illegal wherea car causes an obstruction at theparticular time.A major incident was on-going at the Lechtso, having completed his report, InspectorStrachan left the meeting. Alastair Kennedythanked him for his attendance, particularlyin these circumstances.

COMMUNITY WARDENCommunity Warden figures for January2013 were reported by Kathy Grant noting9 noise complaints, 4 harassmentcomplaints, 1 light pollution incident, 5neighbour disputes and 1 fly tippingincident.A Residents Association has been formedfor one problem area. Kathy Grant initiatedthis through an acceptable behaviourcontract and the forming of the residentsassociation has brought people ontocommon ground and has resulted inimprovements. Steven Christie advised thatCouncil Tenants can get money to improvetheir area.Dog fouling was also tackled and KathyGrant had signed up 14 green dog walkersand issued 1 fixed penalty notice in thisregard.Alastair Kennedy asked for a definition ofLight Pollution. Kathy Grant explained thatthe incident she attended was a very brightlight which lit up a wide area and was likelyto disturb neighbours.

I had great pleasure recently in joining youngfarmers from across the north and north eastat Thainstone. A particular congratulations tomy own constituents in Keith Young Farmerswho won the club award for their activitiesthrough the year.

It is great to see so many young folk involved in farming, which isan incredibly challenging industry to work in, especially with someof the prolonged atrocious weather conditions we have seenrecently. Supporting young farmers is something I am particularly passionateabout, given both the historic and current importance of the industryto Moray and, indeed, to Scotland as a whole. The average age offarmers has, unsurprisingly, been going up over many years - atrend that I am determined to move in the opposite direction andmake farming an attractive profession from an economicperspective as well as a traditional lifestyle perspective. Well doneto Keith Young Farmers!

While this column is more reflective and lesspolitical than others that I have written I think itis appropriate to reflect on the communitycampaigns that are ongoing in Moray indefence of local services facing budget cuts.I was invited to speak at the libraries campaign

rally in Burghead and the commitment from local people who cameout in significant numbers on a cold day to back a valued servicewas significant. I will also commend the many hard-working andcommitted staff, whose livelihoods are under threat - whether thatis here in Moray or, indeed, elsewhere as diminishing budgets reallystart to bite hard. Those workers continue to provide a fantastic service because thevast majority have a strong public service ethos and give muchmore than they are contracted or paid to do. It is good to seecommunities rallying around both the services and the staff whoprovide them.

May 2013

The flying barn doorOne of the great conservation success stories of the 20th century is the White-tailed or sea eagle. Nicknamed the flying barn door due to their size, White Tailed Eagles were absent from the UK for 60 years, the last recorded nest being on the Isle of Skye in 1916. As with many birds of prey, habitat destruction and persecution ensured their demise. In the 19th century, bounties of up to 5 shillings were offered for killing a bird. A reintroduction programme, managed by Scottish Natural Heritage began in1975 when birds from Norway were released on the Isle of Rum. However, it was 10 years later that the first chick successfully fledged.

The breeding population is now close to 50 pairs, mainly in the western isles and on the west coast. A number of birds have also been released on the east coast, with 16 new arrivals this year. The sea eagle is Europe’s largest bird of prey and the fourth largest in the world. The significantly larger females can weigh up to 7kg with a wing span of two and a half metres.

The species has a very varied diet including mammals such as hare and rabbits, birds and fish. Unlike our other fishing raptor, the Osprey, the Sea Eagle does not dive into water to catch fish but instead snatches them from the surface. Despite being very capable of catching their own prey sea eagles will steal from other predators such as otters or feed on carrion, especially in the winter when food is on short supply.

The nests are constructed of branches and large sticks in the top of a tree. Whilst most are found in coastal locations as the name suggests, some birds can be found further inland, by lakes. 2 to 3 eggs are laid in early spring and incubation, shared by both parents takes around 38 days. Young birds take 5 years to mature and during this time they can range considerable distances before finding a mate and breeding.

The best place to find sea eagles on the mainland is in West Lochaber on the Ardnamurchan peninsula, or on the islands of Skye, Mull or Rum. Sea eagles are much easier to see than our other iconic raptor, the Golden Eagle, being considerably less wary of human contact. If you would like to find out more about sea eagles, or help the project by recording sightings, go to www.snh.org.uk and put “sea eagles” in the site search box

WHY DID JESUS DIE?

Published by www.WordsbytheWayside.co.uk Registered Scottish Charity SCO41290

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life’’

John 3:16

Sin Brings DeathIn God’s Word, the Bible, we learn that death came into the world because of sin. “Wherefore … by one man [Adam] sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned” (Romans 5:12). “The wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23). You and I die because we are sinners; we have forfeited our right to live on the earth. “All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23).

Jesus Died For UsDid Jesus die because He had sinned? No. Listen to the inspired Word of God: “In Him is no sin” (1 John 3:5); “Who did no sin” (1 Peter 2:22); “Who knew no sin” (2 Corinthians 5:21). Therefore, death had no claim upon Him. But, blessed be His Name, He “gave Himself for our sins” (Galatians 1:4). It was love to you and me that caused the Lord Jesus Christ to come down from heaven and die on Calvary’s cross. It was love to us that held Him on that shameful cross until He had �nished the work of atonement to the glory of God.A holy, righteous, just God cannot let sin go unpun-ished. On the cross the Lord Jesus bore God’s judgment against sin in our stead, as our substitute; and now God is o�ering not only forgiveness, but also justi�cation to the repentant sinner who believes in Jesus. He is “just, and the justi�er of him which believeth in Jesus” (Romans 3:26). God showed His approval of that mighty work by raising the Lord Jesus from among the dead and seating Him at His own right hand in heaven (Mark 16:19).

Jesus Is The WayThere is no other way you can be saved but through the atoning death of the Lord Jesus. He says : “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me” (John 14:6). “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:12).

Why did Jesus die? Have you ever realized that it was your sins that caused Him to die upon the cross, or ever felt your need of Him as your personal Saviour? As you read this little message, He looks down from heaven upon you, and He reads the thoughts and intents of your heart. He knows your attitude toward your sins, as well as your attitude toward the One who wants to be your Saviour. If you don’t know the forgiveness of sins, there is only one person in the world to blame and that is yourself. God is ready to forgive you, if only you are ready to turn from your sins and be forgiven.

Turn To Him TodayGod knows all about you. I urge you not to lay aside this opportunity until you have settled this great question of your sin and eternity and have received the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour. Once you see the seriousness of your sinful condition before God, you will never get rest of conscience and heart until you have trusted the Saviour of sinners. He made “peace through the blood of His cross” (Colossians 1:20). We are “reconciled to God by the death of His Son” (Romans 5:10).

If you do not trust Him now as your Saviour, you will meet Him in eternity as your Judge. For God “hath appointed a day, in the which He will judge the world in righteousness by that Man whom He hath ordained; whereof He hath given assurance unto all men, in that He hath raised Him from the dead” (Acts 17:31).

Won’t you �ee to Him now for refuge while it is the day of salvation? He will be your shelter. “We pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God” (2 Corinthians 5:20). “Dost thou believe on the Son of God?”( John 9:35) Have faith and doubt not.

This question is of vital importance because your eternal destiny depends upon your answer to it. Do you know why Jesus died? If not, I believe God has sent me across your path to tell you.

travel Dreamingof...

New York New York! Daily direct flights with United Airlines from Glasgow and

Edinburgh have made this a popular destination year round from Scotland.

Arriving into New York via Newark or JFK, taxis are easilypicked up and will whisk you into the centre of bustling Manhattan. The famous skyline appears before your eyes, you will easily pick out the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building, both iconic sights in New York.Manhattan is extremely diverse from the leafy, quiet streets of Greenwich Village, and the affluent Upper East Side to the hustle and bustle of Times Square - which is like a huge movie set with all its lights and billboards. Surrounded by Broadway theatres, a show is another must see in this city.Of the many museums in New York my personal favourite was the American Natural History Museum, so much to see and free tours offered daily.For the best views in Manhattan head to the Rockefeller Centre, the top of the rock observation deck has absolutely breathtaking views; make sure you have your camera to hand! Spot the Brooklyn Bridge in the distance, linking Manhattan to Brooklyn, the bridge is easily accessed and is a popular walking route.

For something different head to Battery Park (named after the old artillery battery therein) and take in a harbour cruise sailing on the East river and the Hudson to see the city from a different angle. For the more adventurous take a helicopter tour for a bird’s eye view of the city.A trip to New York would not be complete without a stroll through Central Park, where you will have the opportunity to ice skate or visit the zoo!

The city that never sleeps has something for everyone, full of easily identified sights,

fabulous museums and fantastic shops, bars and restaurants!

motormotorVolkswagen - a family tradition

FOR sixty years the Hawco family has been synonymous with the motor trade in Moray and the Highlands – a respected name that continues today as one of Scotland’s largest Volkswagen franchises and an expanding used car business.

From their main base at Inverness, Hawco Volkswagen has busy branches at Elgin and Peterhead with a strong presence in Fort William.

At Elgin under the management of Ken Hammond the main dealership at Wards Road has recently added a large Volkswagen Approved Used Car Centre operating just a few hundred metres away on Edgar Road where some of the finest pre-owned cars in the area are now on display.

To celebrate their 60th anniversary everyone who buys a new or used car from any Hawco Volkswagen branch this year will be automatically entered into a draw and could win a brand new Volkswagen Beetle.

Hawco has represented the Volkswagen brand in Elgin since 1953. Today the wider Hawco Group employs more than 150 people at various locations and retails cars and commercials throughout Scotland.

The Elgin branch is fully equipped to sell and service all Volkswagen models and are prepared for the arrival of summer with some outstanding Spring offers covering favourites from the range, including the compact Tiguan SUV and Touran MPV.

The new Golf Plus is available on a hire purchase offer with zero per cent finance until June 30. It’s a great deal for a spacious five-door that can also be driven away on a retail cash deal with a £1500 discount.The finance offer means that a high-efficiency 1.2 TSI in S trim costing £16,310 can be delivered for a deposit of £6626 followed by 36 equal payments of £269.

Another top choice is the latest Polo. Costing from just £10,490 it is available with 12 month’s free insurance for over 21-year-olds and a finance deal that includes a £1000 deposit contribution from Volkswagen and a three-year/30,000-mile servicing package for only £249.

The Golf Plus from Hawco Volkswagen comes with a £1500 discount.

Special Spring offers are available on the new Polo range.

Hawco Volkswagen have great offerson the latest Tiguan.

Scarifying the winter moss and thatch

needs done now, either with a spring

rake, an electric scarifier (if you have

one), or hiring a big scarifier (or getting

us to do it). Spring is very late this year

and Easter passed with very few lawns

needing their first cut. Scarifying is done

outwith the growing season (usually at

the very end, or the very beginning of

the season). Why not scarify in the

summer when the weather is better

some of you will ask? There are at least

3 good reasons:

1 Scarifying is very traumatic for the grass

and new growing grass is too fragile to

survive a rigorous scarifying, it will be

ripped out.

2 Most scarified lawns look pretty poorly

until they recover, Winter doesn’t matter

so much, but most people want to enjoy

their gardens in the Summer.

3 Putting on a feed and then trashing

the grass is rather counterproductive,

not to mention a bit of a waste of your

money.

We had a lot of pretty horrified feedback from the scarifying photo in last month’s Spotlight Magazine, so I’ve put it in again as a reminder!

outdoor WILD T

Exciting and thrilling are probably not the first words anyone thinks about to describe wildlife watching however it does have its moments. I have been fortunate to see lions hunting in the Serengeti, Grizzly bears catching salmon in Canada and other exciting events around the world. These events are a considerable challenge to see, and they take time and some dedication, so why do I mention them here?

I have just spent a couple of weeks in the Cairngorms and have seen wildlife action to rival the excitement and thrill of anything I have seen anywhere in the world. Of course there is a downside, getting up at 4.00am to be in a hide next to a small loch just outside Aviemore for 5.00 am and then waiting.

Waiting for what? Within in an hour an osprey flies over the loch then disappears only to return a few minutes later. This time it is much lower and circles above our heads. The bird then starts an excited call, a sure sign it has seen a fish. It dives, only to pull out just a metre above the water, and starts circling again. Then a new dive and a splash just in front of our hide. The Osprey almost disappears underwater then emerges from the spray, grasping a totally shocked trout in one foot. It levers itself out of the water with powerful wing beats and takes to the air in a mass of water droplets that sparkle in the dawn sunlight. As the Osprey gains height it shakes its body, shedding more droplets, and grasps the trout with both feet holding it like a torpedo. Peace returns to the loch. From hitting the water to taking off can take the Osprey a little as three seconds, but three seconds of the most thrilling wildlife action I have seen anywhere.

Then back to waiting, more ospreys may fish in loch or perhaps none. This morning we are lucky and two more trout are caught before we leave at 9.30. The excitement of watching the spectacular dives does not diminish. Herons also use the lochside for hunting and I get the chance to see a normally elusive Goosander drake chasing and catching a trout just metres from the hide.

Obviously the chance to see Ospreys close up from ideal viewing conditions in a hide has to be paid for and the loch is stocked with trout of the right size to attract them. It is also possible to watch the Ospreys during the day from a hide further away as they must provide fish for their rapidly growing young in July and August.

Over the last 30 years increasing numbers of Ospreys have been returning to Scotland to breed, and this is an outstanding good news conservation story. Ospreys need the long summer days and a reliable place to hunt to feed their very demanding young before returning to Africa for the winter. The Rothiemurchus Estate has a proud record over many years of encouraging Ospreys to catch fish at their fishing lochs near Aviemore. Watching the Ospreys fishing in the lochs helps to fund this.

The Highland Tiger

Arguably our most enigmatic species, the Scottish Wildcat is the only surviving native feline in the UK. With just 400 believed to remain in the wild, the Wildcat is rarer than the Bengal tiger. After suffering centuries of habitat loss, being hunted for their fur and shot as vermin, they now face threats from vehicle collisions, disease and probably most significantly, interbreeding with domestic cats. This dilutes the gene pool and has disastrous consequences for the species.

The most significant surviving population is to be found in the Cairngorms, with smaller numbers in Lochaber and Aberdeenshire. Their preferred habitat is moorland and the margins of forests and mountain slopes, where their main prey is rabbits, hares and other small mammals. Like their domestic cousins, they are opportunistic feeders and will take anything of a suitable size.

Wildcats mate in the depths of winter with the kittens born in April or May, with a litter of between 2-4 the norm. The mother brings live prey to the den, often an abandoned badger sett or fox earth, from around 3 weeks old, allowing the kittens to develop their hunting skills. They will start to follow mum around from about 10 weeks old and will remain with her until around 5 months. The male takes no part in the rearing of the youngsters. Wildcats can breed from 1 year old, though males are unlikely to do so until they have established their own territory.

As wildcats are very similar in appearance to the domestic tabby it is difficult for the casual observer to make a positive identification but probably the most significant markers are the blunt tail with it's distinct rings, and stripes on their flanks and hindquarters that are mainly unbroken. Wildcats are also larger than the domestic tabby, with the average male coming in at over 5 kg and the female nearly 4 kg.

For the best chance to see them in the wild, go to an area they are known to inhabit, use a car as a hide and look for them around dawn or dusk – they are nocturnal creatures. For the not so patient, the Highland Wildlife park in Kingussie have captive animals.

If you'd like to find out more about the Scottish wildcat, report a sighting or help with the conservation of the species, have a look at www.highlandtiger.com. SNH also have a lot of useful information at www.snh.gov.uk.
