There is no right or wrong way to look at the past. For those who believe in God and trust the Bible there are two helpful ways to look back and consider the past.

In the Old Testament Moses had much to say to his people and his words were written in five books. In the fifth book he summarised his thoughts and advised his people how to make the best use of their past.

Moses said “Remember how the LORD your God led you all the way in the desert…” Deuteronomy 8:1 We also can look back and remember how God led us during the past years and express our gratitude, learn from the experiences, treasure the memories, confess our

faults and be reassured that a changeless and faithful God who led us all the way throughout our past years will lead us into the future.

In the New Testament Paul also wrote words of encouragement to the Church about how to make best use of their past. Paul said “Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:13-14.

He is forgetting his past sin and failure in the sense that it is done and settled with, as Christ has forgiven him. He is now able to look ahead with confidence, to press forward, knowing that Christ has prepared a

We can do the same - God has dealt with our past so then we can forget and forcefully press ahead into the future, knowing that our ultimate aspirations are found not in this life but in heaven, because Christ is there.

We remember the faithful leading of God and have a healthy memory of His help and at the same time we forget the past because it is over and gone and we concentrate on the future to make the best use of it. Remembering and forgetting are both useful.

Council News

EXTRACTS FROM THE RATIFIED MINUTES OF THE MEETING OF TUESDAY 4TH MAY 2010 OF KEITH COMMUNITY COUNCIL

Community Councillors Updates • Environment - Extensive damage has been caused to trees in the cottage woods.

It was thought that youths were causing the damage with their bikes, using the woods as a BMX track, it has been going on for years.

• A Citizen from Fife Keith is looking for volunteers to help tidy up the litter in Fife Keith areas that are neglected.

• JM did a presentation to the Keith Scouts.

The scouts and other youngsters would like to see the disbanded BMX track be resurrected. It was unsure who owned the property. Councillors were encouraged to find out who belonged the land. At the moment there are ponies grazing on the land. The scouts are keen to help get the BMX track up and running again and also to do a litter pick which they have done in the past.

• The menace of litter being dropped.

Youngsters being seen to go out of their way to put litter in bins are being rewarded with vouchers from the Community Warden.

• Two trees are damaged in Keith Square.

SC will see about it. Signs also been turned round leading to the square again.

• There is a deep hole appearing at the Auld Brig next to the cemetery walls which needs to be repaired. It is about 2 feet big by now.

Roads and Rights of Way • Weeds on pavements - would they be removed quicker this year by Bear.

• There has been a noticeable difference at the Tesco traffic lights. The timer has been altered.

•Old Tesco building is an eyesore. Will the wall be fixed which was knocked down in the winter? There is no guttering on some parts of the building and windows are broken.

• Some vehicles are parking at the lorry park that should not be there.

•More traffic would frequent bridge street with the new Keith builders opening. SC said a traffic survey would be conducted.

• Vehicles are still going the wrong way on the Newmill Brae. Road markings will not be changed until after the consultation.

• BT will be informed about the brackets hanging off a pole near to Milton Tower.

• IC said that road bollards are still covered in sand. CL will inform Bear about this.

Christmas Lights • The lights have to be moved from the Changing area at the leys as the Newmill Football team is to use the facilities at Seafield Park.

• There was a disappointing turnout at the Quiz night although the people that were there thoroughly enjoyed themselves. A Xmas themed quiz was suggested for July.

• Collection boxes are to be ordered to put into local businesses and shops for the Christmas lights fund.

Liscencing JM asked about a new Chinese takeaway that is to open in Fife Keith. There has been an application for a change of use. SC said he hadn’t heard it was going to be a fast food takeaway.

Signs and Street Furniture Youths from KGS have cleaned and painted another seat around Keith. The awards are to be presented to the youths involved at next K Factor ceremony at KGS on 9th June. MC making out new awards as the dates are wrong on the last ones. iTunes vouchers would also be awarded to the youths . The press would go along and do a story on this. RP would find out about other awards that can be worked towards for the future for other pupils.

•The signs in the square are being turned around the wrong way again.

The next meeting of Keith Community Council will be on Monday 6th September 2010 at 7.00pm in Keith Sports and Community Centre.

As the summer approaches I am very much looking forward to the summer recess and an opportunity to get some quality time in Moray away from weekly flights or trains to and from London. It is good just to be able to get along to support local summer events such as Highland Games, fetes and music festivals in a more relaxed atmosphere than the hothouse of Westminster.

Ang us R o b e rts on M P

It's great to see that sales of Scottish food and drink across Scotland, England and Wales have rocketed by 30 per cent in the past three years. This is great news for producers in Speyside and throughout Moray. Despite recent pictures of me with a large World Champion Murdoch Brothers pie there is no truth in the rumour that politicians are responsible for most of these sales!

Quail Balotine with Wood Pigeon Breast SpotLight would like to introduce you to a new Chef (Peter Norrie of the Knockomie Hotel) who, from this month, will be providing the Chef’s Confidential.

Before you read the recipe, however, we would like to extend our most sincere thanks to John McCruden (Head Chef of Chapter One restaurant) for all the work that he has put in over the last two years or so.

All the recipes that are printed in SpotLight are designed individually by the Chef and there is much work involved in producing this - so once again - thanks John for all your hard work and to Peter for offerring to pick up the baton!

What now follows are all Peter’s words!

We teamed up with MacBeths of Forres butcher to perform a live cooking demonstration at this years Royal Highland Show and this is one of the dishes we produced in front of the live audience. It is a simple dish to create but will impress your friends and family. It went down a treat with the audience at the Royal Highland Show when they got to taste the completed dish after the demonstration.

Ingred ients 6 Carrots (for puree) 1 Star Anise 2 Quails (de-boned) 2 Slices Parma Ham Baby Spinach 2 Wood Pigeon Breasts Wild Mushrooms

page 14 - August 2010

SpotLight Chef’s Confidential

Method - Quail Balotines Cook Carrots in water with Star Anise and a teaspoon of salt until extremely soft, strain but keep the water. Liquidise carrots adding the strained water until mixture is of a spreadable texture, pass through a fine sieve.

For the Quail, cook Mushrooms and season, remove from pan and leave to cool. Place one slice of Parma Ham on cling film. Place your Quail on top of the Parma Ham, place some Mushrooms and Spinach inside. Roll into a cylinder, tie each end and then poach for 12-14 minutes (Rest for 46 minutes Cut open so all excess juices run out, then crispen in a hot pan with oil. At the same time place your seasoned pigeon breast in the pan as well. The pigeon will take 2-3 minutes to cook.

Culbin Forest Hill 99 Trail Welcome to Culbin. This is no ordinary forest and Culbin’s fragile shoreline is no ordinary coast.

The whole family can enjoy a great circular walk – the fully accessible Hill 99 Viewpoint Trail meanders through the quiet pine forest to a squirrels eye viewpoint in the tree tops and this route is ideal for first time visitors. It will lead you along winding paths, through forest and mossy clearings. But why is it called Hill 99? Early foresters probably named it this, as it's Culbin’s highest dune at 99 feet. The route up to the viewpoint is well worth it. It’s a friendly, waymarked trail on good paths and suitable for everyone. Take your time – allow a couple of hours.

Relax and enjoy! Along the way, look up to life in the tree canopy and down to lush carpets of moss and lichen speckled with fungi in autumn. Look out for wood anthills and flowering plants. Try and spot ridges of pebbles driven inland over 5000 years ago by storm and tide.

On the way round stop at the gravel pit ponds, a great place where the ranger leads school pond dipping visits. These ponds were dug to provide a source of fresh water for birds, mammals and insects.

Although manmade, all Culbin’s ponds and channels play a critical part in the natural balance of life here.

There are coots on the main pond and a heron is known to visit. Take a seat on the benches and relax.

You can find yellow flag iris, chickweed wintergreen and there are some unusual mosses here too.

Local Interest

A short detour takes you to the hidden history hub. This is a sheltered corner to sit and contemplate Culbin’s dramatic story. Ancient peoples once wandered and lived amongst these shifting dunes and piles of shells left over from a feast thousands of years ago can still be found deep in the forest.

Eventually farmers settled here eking out a living under the constant threat of blowing sand. Uprooting the marram grass destabilised the dunes and in 1694 a great storm caused the land to be abandoned.

Culbin is a wonderful place to walk, cycle and ride.

You can spend all day here going as far as you can, but Culbin is also somewhere to enjoy losing track of time. Why not enjoy watching the ordered world of a giant wood ant mound – with its team working and weight lifting – or oystercatchers beaks turning from bright red to brown as they feed.

It’s never been easier to find your way around. The junctions are numbered and marked on the map (available on site). There are other great places to stop including Sandlife and Buckie Loch so enjoy a well earned rest and decide where to head next.

Culbin is a big place so make the most of your first visit and start with the hill 99 trail - you are bound to return for more!

For more information contact Rachael Jones on 01466 794161.

On a warm summers day a stop at the dragonfly pools is amazing. The air is alive with birdsong and even the sound of the brilliantly coloured dragonflies rattling their wings as they shimmer through the air. Look carefully and you may see discarded larvae cases, fixed half way up plant stems. The dragonflies emerge from these, in the same way as butterflies, which also thrive at Culbin. page 16 - August 2010

North East

Explore your forests!

Culbin is ideal for walking, with miles of paths and tracks to explore, winding among the pine covered dunes and coastline.

The Hill 99 Trail is an ideal walk for first-time visitors and takes about 2-3 hours starting from the main car park at Wellhill. Along the way, you will find the dragonfly pond, a pretty pond where you can admire brilliantly-coloured dragonflies during the summer.

Huntly Peregrine Wildwatch Centre Home to the fastest living creatures on earth â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a visit to the multi award winning Huntly Peregrine Wildwatch is a day out to remember.

Come and see us at the Bin Quarry, just off the A96 near Huntly, where our friendly wardens will keep you informed and entertained. For opening times, please contact the forest district via the contact details below. Admission free.

For more information on places to visit in the forests of the north east, call 01466 794161, email moray&aberdeenshire@forestry.gsi.gov.uk or visit our website www.forestry.gov.uk/scotland
