You may notice that the paper stock we are using this month is different from the normal. We are running a trial with new printers and new paper stock in an effort to keep costs down in the current climate of rising paper supply costs - due in part to adverse fluctuations in the exchange rate between the pound and the euro. We are hoping that one consequence of the change will be freeing up more pages for editorial in the future. We are also continuing our survey into what editorial people would prefer to read and you can join this survey by visiting www.spotlighton.co.uk and clicking on the survey button.

Words by the Wayside “For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies.” (Matthew 15:19)
Reader, our hearts are desperately wicked, we are all sinners by nature and by practice, separated from God, and we will not escape the damnation of Hell without the Saviour which is Christ the Lord. All have sinned and all fall short of God’s righteousness and we cannot save ourselves. Jesus Christ died on Calvary’s Cross for your sin and rose again from the dead three days later by the mighty power of God, and He is the Christian’s Righteousness. Are you righteous before God? Have you received Jesus Christ as your Saviour? Are you a Christian?

Pastoral Le er & Church Meetings 11th November 2018 will mark the centenary of the 1918 Armistice which ended the hostilities of the First World War. Even with no surviving combatants of that conflict alive today, it still is marked as the occasion we remember the sacrifices of that war and all wars since then. Every parish in Scotland still has war memorials to those who died then. Along with their names is usually a title like ‘Our Glorious Dead’ or ‘Their names liveth’. They may also have sentences like "Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by?, or "Sing softly. Be still’. Rudyard Kipling was commissioned to write suitable epitaphs. Here are some of them: ‘They willingly left the unachieved purpose of their lives in order than all life should not be wrenched from its purpose’; ‘Let those who come after see to it that their names are not forgotten’ and ‘In record of their honour and our gratitude’. A memorial may also record thanks for those who survive, like ‘And in gratitude to God for their 90 comrades who returned home’. Bible verses are also often found on
memorials, eg. ‘The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit’ (Psalm, 34:18);’ Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong’ (1 Corinthians 16:13); ‘The name of the righteous is used in blessings’ (Proverbs 10:7); ‘Peace I leave with you’ (John 14:27) and especially ‘Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends’ (John 15:13) The design of memorials is also symbolic of something lasting and worthy. They may be Christian crosses, military statues, obelisks, pillars, towers, wells, fountains, anchors, and urns. They are all signs of victory through costly sacrifice. It is good to see them well cared for, and visited annually at wreath laying services. I see from the list of Remembrance Day services and wreath laying ceremonies that there are 50 in Moray. There are seven locations I am responsible for, ranging in size from the town event in Keith, attended by hundreds, down to the roadside memorial well and fountain

at Grange, usually just attended by myself and one of the local councillors. All are ways of communities saying they remember their heritage. Usually the war memorial ceremonies precede or follow Remembrance Day church services to show the continuity between remembrance of the past and prayers for peace for the future. Most churches will have a memorial to those of their own congregation who gave their lives in times of war. This year this link will be especially reinforced by Sunday falling on the 11th November. We have a rich heritage of remembrance in our country. Let us keep that lamp burning brightly this year.

Parliament Blog & Tide Times The dark winter nights have changed the Moray landscape and the fantastic summer is definitely a distant memory, but November gets off to a brighter start as Bonfire Night celebrations are in full swing. Even before the last embers have died, organisers in towns across Moray will be stringing up displays ready for their festive light switch-on. Can I also take this opportunity to thank everyone who has contacted Krystle and I following the announcement that we are expecting our first child next year. With all the joy surrounding this, there are also the questions all future parents in Moray are currently facing about where they will have their child; how they will get to Aberdeen if they have to go there and what kind of journey they will face as they travel a considerable distance in labour. I have been working with the campaigners since the announcement of the downgrading of maternity paediatric services at Doctor Gray’s and while I previously heard their concerns, I now very much share them as well. As usual I can be contacted on douglas.ross.mp@parliament.uk
Douglas Ross MP
Christmas is fast approaching and it is time to think about stirring the Christmas pudding but it is also the time to think about how we can help locally. Christmas gives us all the chance to not only to buy local but also to help in our own neighbourhoods, so perhaps that should be our festive resolution. Whilst online shopping couldn’t be more convenient, it comes at a cost. Little of our hard earned money ends up in the local economy and in the Highlands we often have to face expensive and unfair delivery costs. Shopping locally ensures local jobs, more independent shops and some truly unique gifts often showcasing local craftsmanship. So in the run up to Christmas my plea is that we all think about what we can do locally so that all Highlanders can benefit.

The Scottish Government is investing almost £1 billion in free childcare, with families across Moray set to benefit from an ambitious increase in the number of free childcare hours. The investment will see families entitled to 1140 hours of free childcare for three and four year olds and, by almost doubling the availability of free childcare, parents are set to save hundreds of pounds a month, with many finding it easier to return to work. Local authority and partner childcare providers are vital to the delivery of this ambitious policy and ensuring that our children get the best start in life, and so last month I hosted a meeting in Elgin for local childcare providers to meet with the Minister for Children and Young People, Maree Todd MSP. I felt it was important that they had the opportunity to share their views with the Minister and to put any questions directly to her. This is a significant investment in families in Moray and will undoubtedly be of enormous help to local people with young children.

By Belinda Bauer On a stifling summer's day, eleven-year-old Jack and his two sisters sit in their broken-down car, waiting for their mother to come back and rescue them. Jack's in charge, she'd said. I won't be long. But she doesn't come back. She never comes back. And life as the children know it is changed for ever. Three years later, Jack is still in charge - of his sisters, of supporting them all, of making sure nobody knows they're alone in the house, and - quite suddenly - of finding out the truth about what happened to his mother‌

Hubert Horatio By Lauren Child
The Bobton-Trent seniors certainly know how to make the most of their extravagant wealth - socialising, doing things, buying things and generally being more than a little bit ... irresponsible. Luckily for them, their son Hubert Horatio is an exceptionally intelligent, talented and sensible child. Unluckily for Hubert, this tends to mean that a lot of his spare time is spent steering his rather unruly set of grown-ups out of trouble.

Words by the Wayside “There is no fear of God before their eyes.” (Romans 3:18)
Reader, there is but a heartbeat between you and eternity. It is appointed unto men and women once to die, and after this the judgment. All have sinned and all have come short of God’s standard; there is none righteous, no not one. But, praise God, Christ died for the ungodly. 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. Reader, eternity where?

Scarification – How Much Will it Cost ? It is the toughest job of the year, but it is the key thing to get done if you are serious about keeping on top of moss. You can do it yourself, if it is a small lawn this is feasible, and could be done with a spring rake. Or for a larger lawn you might consider hiring a machine for the day. I think the going rate is around £50 per day, plus £20 delivery and collection. Many of you will have done this yourself and will appreciate it is not a job for the faint hearted. We will have around 800 lawns to scarify over the next few months. We usually use 2 men plus machines and blowers. While a small lawn can often be done in a couple of hours, a larger lawn can be an all day affair, or even longer. I thought it would be worth putting out some typical prices we would charge:
scarifiing
Size
Price (incl VAT)
Small
Up to 40m2
£57
Medium
Up to 100m2
£90
Large
Up to 200m2
£139
Aerating (hollow-core tining) is a bit cheaper, largely because there is less to clear up, which is very heavy and time-consuming.
For more information about our annual lawncare plans from just £11.25 per month, plus useful downloads and photos, go to www.greenthumb.co.uk. Although GreenThumb is a multi-award winning national franchise, and is the runaway leader in the sector with one million lawns being treated, we are the family-run local franchise covering the wider Moray Firth area.
