LOGIE STEADING

I recently came across a young man who professed to have the answer to life. Listen to nobody, ask for nobody’s help and rely entirely upon oneself. Good advice for a recluse maybe but I think that we were designed to interact with each other and when that goes well there can beno greater joy. All it takes is for us to think more of our neigbours than ourselves!

PASTORAL LETTER & CHURCH MEETINGS I’m sure like me you get phone calls from people wanting to speak with ‘the householder’ or others who ask for you personally. They just want to ask you a few questions that will only take 5 minutes of your time; irritating at the best of times – they can be extremely annoying if you’re in the middle of cooking tea. The temptation to slam the phone down or give the caller ‘a piece of your mind’ is particularly strong at this point. Sometimes I do stop to think – there’s a person at the other end of the phone; someone like me and you doing their job, earning so they can put food on the table. Like me they may be tired, discouraged and under pressure. More often I must confess I don’t think that way; I just want to end the unwelcome call and get back to the ‘more important’ thing I was doing before the phone rang. Of course one day one of these callers may have something worthwhile to offer…and I’ll most likely miss it.

Way back in the mists of time when I worked in retail I recall a training session that included ‘how to answer the phone’. One of the points made was that whereas the

customer in the shop can see what’s going on and how busy you are, the caller cannot see you. You cannot assume they know just how harassed you are feeling or what else you are trying to do at that point. The advice was given to help us give a particular type of consideration to those who can’t be expected to know our circumstances. That willingness and ability to enter into someone else’s situation is often not well practised and that failure can make for dissatisfaction at both ends of the line.

Somewhat similar yet with an utterly different outcome is the call that takes place between us and God. The Bible describes God calling us – not through the medium of a landline or mobile phone – nor indeed through messages forwarded to our computers from the ever-present Facebook. Instead God has called and spoken to us by his written word, face to face through his many spokesmen and women and finally through his Son, Jesus who came to visit (Hebrews 1:1-3).

call has not been without its difficulties. Perhaps we have not appreciated it, were too busy or considered the other things we were doing to be more important than listening to him. Yet God has patiently kept calling; more than that he demonstrated extraordinary willingness to enter into our situation. Jesus his Son was made like us in every way (Hebrews 2:17).

In light of that could we take time, when we have read this, to give careful consideration to what God is saying to us? There are those – including myself – who would confirm that what he wants to share with you is the most worthwhile thing there is in all the world. And at the end of the line we will be completely satisfied customers.

PARLIAMENT BLOG & TIDE TIMES

“ Parliament Blog ”

In my role as Cabinet Secretary for Rural Affairs and the Environment I have spent quite a bit of time in Brussels and Luxembourg in recent months involved in crucial talks on fishing and farming. On a personal level the downside of this is weekends cut short by overseas travel playing havoc with family life and reducing the time I would otherwise like to spend in Moray.

That being said the issues being discussed and the outcomes of these talks are of vital importance to key sectors in our region and it is hugely important to make Scotland’s case. I am of course now well used to the request from my young sons to come back with sweets for them and I am sure they just think I am off to some kind of exotic chocolate emporium - If only!

I recently had a great experience speaking with students at Buckie Community High School about the power of campaigning. The pupils I spoke to at the school were looking at the issues of activities for young people in Buckie and care of the elderly.

It was a real pleasure listening to students who are really engaged with these issues and who clearly have a great deal to contribute to their community. It gave me great heart that we are in good hands for the future!

Local Charity and Social Enterprise ReBOOT are celebrating their 16th year in operation

I know what a Charity is, but what is a Social Enterprise?

Simply put, a Social Enterprise is a company that has social and environmental values as the core driving force of their existence, alongside striving to be financially sustainable whilst keeping any profit within the community.

So why do ReBOOT consider themselves a Social Enterprise?

We are a Non-for-profit organisation with core values surrounding environmental protection through our recycling and reuse service, social and community support through our kind donations, affordable sales and hands on training and voluntary opportunities.

So how does ReBOOT exist, we all need money?

In the early days, ReBOOT sourced financial help from grant funders and support from the local Council, but since 2007 we have been a fully self-sufficient Non-for-profit organisation, earning all the money needed to support the charitable objectives above.

So that’s your 16th birthday done, what are the plans for your 18th and 21st birthdays?

We currently have operations in the Greshop Industrial Estate in Forres, and near the College in Inverness. We hope to develop our current projects and sustain all that we do now well beyond our 21st birthday. At our annual away day meet up, all the volunteers, trainees and staff from Forres and Inverness met up to discuss the future, so watch this space as new developments begin over the coming months.

So what are all these projects and things ReBOOT does?

We do many things at ReBOOT, some to support our charitable objectives directly and some to support the Charity financially: s !FFORDABLE #OMPUTER 3ALES s #OMPUTER 2EPAIR 3ERVICE s 0ORTABLE !PPLIANCE 4ESTING s 6OLUNTEER /PPORTUNITIES s (ANDS ON TRAINING s &ULLY COMPLIANT BUSINESS )4 RECYCLING SERVICE s (OUSEHOLD RECYCLING (Computers, Games Consoles…) s $ATA DESTRUCTION SERVICE s $ATA RECOVERY SERVICE

Following a busy 18 months in property sales, local law firm and estate agents R & R Urquhart LLP is actively looking for new properties to sell. “We need new stock,” explained Lisa Miele, the firm’s Property Manager based in their head office in Forres.

“We have been extremely busy with viewings for properties, and with a consistent run of sales during the past period we would ideally like a varied portfolio of new properties to sell for clients as well as to be able to match for prospective buyers”.

Despite the housing market drying up in mid-late 2008 and there being especially difficult times in the sector during 2011, the firm has seen activity in sales increase steadily since then. Whilst it is undeniably still a buyer’s market for the cash purchaser not reliant on external finance, R & R Urquhart have seen a trend in sellers accepting the need to lower prices from 2008 levels in order to achieve sales and generally being more realistic of what prices purchasers can negotiate.

Established in 1829, R & R Urquhart is one of the oldest businesses in Moray, with offices also in Nairn and Inverness. Its legal practice includes all aspects of property law, planning and environmental law, crofting and agricultural law, family law and capital taxes – all areas that overlap with its estate agency department. Clients of the firm can obtain a full service for property sales “under one roof” with estate agency and legal personnel combining, and this combination creates cost effectiveness for clients. The firm sees itself as providing good value for money for clients compared with many competitors in the sector, and prides itself in providing a friendly, approachable and professional service.

R & R Urquhart does not charge for viewings of properties in the locality, and offers free appraisals to

prospective sellers. In 2012, the business upgraded its website allowing improved search and marketing facilities for properties. The website is also linked to Right Move, FaceBook and Twitter, giving it a genuinely UK-wide reach.

The firm is always willing to discuss sale and purchase ideas with existing and new clients, and clients are encouraged to come to their Forres office to consider the best options available.

“It has been a pleasure dealing with you. Trying to sell a house like ours at this time is not easy, and not only have you pulled a sale off, you have helped us to look after the house during the winter and kept us informed and involved in all the little crises with which you have dealt very calmly and efficiently.”

Caring about...

Red Thread Fungal Disease – what’s that ?

In a wet summer in Scotland, it is pretty common to see outbreaks of this on lawns and golf courses. It is a fungal disease that attacks the grass plants and causes die back and reddish/brown discolouration of the leaf tips. Last summer’s record wet saw it affect maybe 50% of our lawns, basically the whole place went mouldy ! The first signs can appear in June, often appearing as drying out, dying-off patches, though clearly not drying out in prolonged damp weather.

We use a fungicide as soon as we see an outbreak, which should clear it up in a week or two. Preventative measures include aerating the ground regularly to keep plenty air circulating in the root zone (we use a hollow-core tining machine) and making sure your mower blades are sharpened each year.

Strangely, in the same garden, one lawn can be affected, but not the other, and the spores aren’t spread on footwear as you might expect. Although it’s very disfiguring for the rest of the season, it rarely kills grass, and the spores are usually killed off by heavy frost in the autumn.

The Complete Hair & Body Experience KAM Hair and Body Spa has a long and proud history of being North Scotland's leading hair and beauty salon. Situated in the picturesque town of Lossiemouth, Moray, the award-winning team of 19 hair directors, stylists and beauty therapists prides itself on providing the complete hair and body experience.

KAM has been delivering exceptional service for over 20 years.

Back in 1991, owner Karen Thomson took on the original premises of Square Cuts, developing it into a thriving salon before moving to larger premises on Queen Street in 2003 and renaming it KAM. Expanding into beauty, KAM’s reputation for excellence has continued to spread, and demand for its range of hair and beauty services has grown to such an extent that this year they have had to expand the salon.

KAM is recognised as a leading salon within the hair and beauty industry. Its list of accolades includes finalising for Scottish Hairdresser of the Year at the British Hairdressing Awards, and this year KAM was proud to have three team members fight off stiff competition to secure places at the L’Oreal Colour Trophy Regional Finals.

Whether it’s a simple cut or a complete restyle, you can be sure you’re in the hands of an expert at KAM. Every member of the team aims to create a bespoke style for each individual, taking into account for example not only your face shape, hair condition and skin tone but also your lifestyle and hair care routine. That’s why you’ll receive an in-depth consultation at every visit to ensure your final look is tailored to suit you perfectly, leaving you looking and feeling amazing.

Making you feel special is of paramount importance to the teamfrom relaxing in their massage chairs having your hair cleansed and conditioned, to choosing from their list of drinks, you will feel truly indulged in their luxurious and spacious surroundings.

Exceptional customer service is offered at every point of your visit, and it doesn’t stop when you leave the salon - KAM always advises the best way to care for your hair in between salon visits, recommending the best products for your unique hair needs, as well as top tips for maintaining your look.

Along with hair, KAM also strives to bring clients the very latest innovations in beauty treatments and products. KAM provides a wide range of manual and electrical treatments, bringing you the very best from Caci who are known for providing the UK`s best selling non-surgical face, body and anti-ageing treatments or why not try the latest A-Lift treatment - another revolution in age-reversal technology.

For the ultimate in relaxation KAM’s treatments from 5 award winning spa company, ESPA are not to be missed.

With a truly holistic approach to modern living, their treatments are second to none and products contain only the purest extracts and are paraben free. At KAM there’s a treatment for your every need, be it face, body or mind, and don’t forget they’re great for men too.

Moray Hydrotherapy A little over two years ago the doors opened at the Moray Hydrotherapy Pool. Situated adjacent to Forres Swimming Pool and Fitness Centre, the facility was built free of charge

by Springfield Properties and equipped thanks to 10 years of fundraising by volunteers.

The charity-run pool meets the highest professional standards and is staffed by fully qualified physiotherapists and pool attendants.

Hydrotherapy is a type of exercise carried out in water heated to around 34C. Thanks to the combination of heat and buoyancy, the pool provides a relaxing medium in which pain-relieving exercises can be carried out.

It is suitable for people with arthritis, muscular dystrophy, MS and cerebral palsy, while people recovering from strokes or accidents, pre and post surgery patients and those with sports or works injuries can all benefit.

Using the pool is simple: new clients should call Forres swimming pool reception (01309 672984) to make an appointment for an assessment by a physiotherapist who will provide a personalised training programme.

Users are then able to make use of the pool during one of the many “mobility” mixed or women-only sessions. Follow up sessions are advised and they will allow the physiotherapist to adjust the schedule when necessary. The facility is also open to organised groups.

So if you think hydrotherapy could benefit you, why not give it a go?

FUN ON THE RUN Orienteering is no ordinary run. And this is no ordinary event. The Scottish 6 Days Orienteering Festival has been happening every two years in Scotland since it was first staged (in Moray) in 1977. Since then it has grown to become one of Scotland’s biggest mass-participation sporting events.

Returning to this area after a 10-year absence, with an iconic whisky still as its logo, Moray 2013 is set to bring a £2 million boost to our economy. Up to 4,000 runners, joggers and walkers will descend on us from all over the world, attracted by the fabulous Moray terrain and the unique Scottish flavour of what’s on offer outside the competition. Brodie Castle hosts the Event Centre and official camp site while nearby Dyke Village Hall will host a busy programme of entertainments all week long.

But this is no elitist competition. The beauty of orienteering is that it

provides something for everyone – and you don’t have to be competitive either.

Just as Moray is laying down the welcome mat to everyone associated with the event, the organisers want to welcome locals to be part of the biggest sporting occasion that Moray will ever have staged.

This is a sport where a 9-year old can share the same start line as an international athlete. One might be heading 15 Km in one direction while the other has just 2Km to go along the forest trails. It’s not uncommon for 4 generations from the same family to take part together. There were more than 200 people aged 70 or over, and 500 under 18s amongst the 3,000 people who had entered by mid May! You don’t even have to run. Orienteering is all about finding your way round a course with a special map as quickly as you can. The hares certainly don’t always win!

There are 36 different courses plus special ‘follow the string’ routes where even

toddlers can take their first steps at orienteering with a special picture map, discovering an array of woodland characters on their way! There will even be a disability-friendly “Trail O” at Culbin on the Wednesday rest day and some Mountain Bike Orienteering in Monaughty!

If you’ve never tried orienteering, this is the time to do it. But please make life easy by entering by 30th June if you possibly can. Entries on the day are possible, but big queues are expected so patience will be needed if you turn up on the day! If you're unsure what course to enter, why not go to one of the many smaller events being held in Moray and Nairnshire during June and see how you get on? You can find details on www.moravianorienteering.org Getting lost has never been so much fun.

Experience one of Scotland’s best-kept sporting secrets and discover the parts of Nairnshire and Moray that normal visitors don’t reach!

The Scottish 6 days is a summer festival of adventure running where the fastest runners SOMETIMES win. Whoever makes fewest mistakes is king!

Join 3,500 competitors from all over the world to find out if you’re magic or tragic with a map in your hand. Run, jog or walk against the clock to see how quickly you can complete your course in six fantastic locations in the local countryside. From toddlers on the ‘follow the string through the woods’ course, to some of the world’s best adventure runners toughing it out at the top, there’s something for everyone who enjoys the great outdoors. www.scottish6days.com/2013

This incredible heating could be the answer to help beat the ever increasing energy costs.

Amazingly it is not gas or oil, nor solid fuelbut clean electric!

All you need is a standard electricity supply and NO special night tariff. In Germany, Austria, Poland Russia, Eastern Europe and increasingly in the UK, more and more people are choosing to heat their homes and offices with this very special form of electric heating in preference to gas, oil, LPG or any other form of conventional central heating or night storage. When you see this incredible heating for yourself, you could be next!

As you can see from the picture, the heating looks just like a conventional radiator but STOP! It is very, very different!

Put simply that clunky central heating boiler that needs constant servicing and replacement parts isn’t the only choice any more!

Now you can choose to heat your homes, offices or extensions or conservatories with this incredible German heating which provides individual control over every single room without the need for a central control or space to site a boiler. Now the

boiler space can become a valuable storage area!

Installation takes minutes and running is completely clean with no danger of leakage, no holes through walls, no floor boards up and no tradesmen trundling around the house wielding pipe cutters, spanners, hammers, wrenches and dirty work-boots!

This incredible German heating simply plugs in and that’s it! Job done! You can even do just one room or the whole house.

Get your free info pack right now by calling 01343 819676 or online at www.elsco.co.uk This heating is NEW in Scotland yet in many parts of Europe it has been a mainstream form of heating for a long time.

Dreaming of...

Popular for some years now, particularly for those whose time is very limited, a City Break is an excellent way of getting away for a few days and nights, and seeing some interesting and different culture. One of the most common Cities from this part of the world has been Paris because, as with Amsterdam it is accessible in one flight from Aberdeen, but there are many European cities which now see large numbers of short-term visitors from Scotland.

The advantage of a City break is that you can come and go on any days of the week that you select, normally using scheduled aircraft to spend 3 or 4 nights in a city, with a complete selection of differing hotels. Imagine flying to Nice or Cannes for 3 or 4 nights, staying in a smart city hotel full of character for Bed and Breakfast because there are so many restaurants that you would want to try for lunch and dinner in the evening. Because time is limited you don't wait hours for transfer coaches, but are transported to your hotel by taxi or car. Cities like Nice are excellent for walking about, seeing the marinas and the waterfront.

Though no direct flights exist from Scotland, Vienna is another popular destination, with all its imperial splendour, Art Nouveau, waltzes and coffee houses. A grand ring of 19th century palaces surrounds the mediaeval city, with its narrow streets, hospitable inns, cafes and shops. Customers have recently joined a break to Vienna with a trip to Budapest, using the train to travel from one to the other. Both cities boast much of the 19th century grandeur of the Hapsburg Empire. It's Bela Bartok and Liszt Museums in Budapest as it is the Strauss family in Vienna.

There are many suitable Italian cities to visit for a short time, and Florence is one of the finest settings of them all. On the banks of the River Arno, Florence is the birthplace of the Renaissance and the city of Michelangelo, Da Vinci, Giotto, Dante and their patrons the Medici family. When you are there a visit to the Uffizi Gallery (recently acclaimed to be the best Art Gallery in the world) and Museum is a must! It is there that you will find The Birth of Venus

by Botticelli.

There are direct flights now from Edinburgh to Athens, Bergen, Brussels, Budapest, Dubrovnik, Frankfurt, Krakow, Lisbon, Lyon, Madrid, Milan, Munich, Naples, Oslo, Paris Prague, Reykjavik, Rome, Salzburg, St Petersburg, Stockholm, Tampere and Toulouse to mention but a few.

The Fun-W ay Fun-Way to keep fit!

The wor words ds Health and Fitness appear to be banded about everywhere everywhere these days but what do they actually mean in terms terms of every day life?

As individuals we ar are therefore e all unique and ther efore what works for one person my not work for another another.. W With ith such a wide and varied range of fitness and diet options out ther there, e, it can sometimes feel that we ar are e spoilt for choice but at the same time have no dir direction ection or rreal eal understanding of what it is we improve should be doing to impr ove and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Sometimes it’s the smallest of changes initially that change our perspective and so lead to gr greater eater lifestyle changes - and it is and has to be a lifestyle change - we ar are e not in it for the short-term short-term fix! By making healthier choices in our daily diet and adding in a some or a little mor more exercise e exer cise can be all it takes to start us on the right path to a healthier and fitter way of life.

Diet? We We are are all on a diet. Whatever we eat is our diet, so it’s not about going on a diet it’s about changing the one we already alr eady have. There There are are an array of weight loss /slimming classes out there there which offer offer support and encouragement to help you reach reach your goal. Have a good look to see what, if any suit you and your family. It’s not just about us as an individual but also about those with whom we live. It’s never too early to make the change.

Fitness?

Fitness? Find something you enjoy doing. Don’t punish yourself exercise that you loath just because you think it is in to doing exercise There is an abundance of fitness doing you some good. There there whether it be an exercise exercise class, dance class, options out there boot camps, cycling, running or personal training. It may take persevere and I a while to discover what works for you but persevere guarantee it will pay dividends in the long run. If you enjoy realising, put more more in to it, doing something you will, without realising, therefore gaining more more out of it! therefore Remember - It’s not always about what we weigh but about what that weight is made up of.

What will YOU do...?

Long ago a Roman judge named Pilate asked “What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ?”

(Matthew 27:22) Did it ever occur to you that everyone must answer this question? I must answer it. You must answer it.

It’s the most important question you will ever answer.

God requires an answer. Your whole future depends upon the answer to this question! I cannot answer for you and you cannot answer for me. Each must answer for himself. We MUST answer since God holds each of us personally, and eternally, responsible for what we do with His Son, Jesus Christ the Saviour.

If you were in the crowd that day, would you have cried ‘Crucify Him!’ Or would you, like Pilate, just try to avoid the issue? Pilate washed his hands and said that he was innocent of this man’s blood – but he was guilty of rejecting Christ...and if we do not accept the Lord Jesus Christ for what he is – the Son of God and Saviour of the world – then we too are guilty of his blood, and God will hold us to account. The question is now; What will YOU do with Jesus which is called Christ?

We need a Saviour because we are all sinners guilty of offending a Holy God, and God’s righteous wrath is what we deserve. But God in mercy has provided a Way of escape. He gave his only Begotten Son, that “whosoever believeth on Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). He came into the world that whosoever believeth in Him should not walk in darkness The Lord Jesus Christ, by His death,

met every just and holy claim God had against sin. And then He rose again in victory for death had no hold on Him. What will YOU do with Jesus which is called Christ?

The question is not ‘Are you sincere?’ or ‘Are you doing the best you can?’ or ‘Have you joined a church? or ‘Have you been baptised?’ Perhaps you still think that your good works and morality will save you? No, it is a divine, living Person that is before you, the One who said “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life, no man cometh unto the Father but by Me” (John 14:6) Have you received the Lord Jesus Christ as your own personal Saviour? Are you trusting in His shed blood and work on the cross alone for salvation?

Will you acknowledge that you are a guilty sinner? Will you repent of your sin? And will you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour? What will YOU do with Jesus which is called Christ?

There is no way to avoid the question. To reject it, or even just to ignore it, is to reject Him who died to be your Saviour. If we do not accept Him as our Saviour, we will one day face Him as our Judge. The Bible says “And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire” (Revelation 20:15) Is your name in the Book of Life?

Ask yourself the question... ”What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ?”

Just as there was only one door into the ark for salvation from the flood, so there is only one ‘door’ for you to enter into God’s salvation. The Lord Jesus Christ is that Door. Will you enter in? Do not reject Him any longer. He died to save you.

“Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is” (Jeremiah 17:7)

He tha thatt believ believeth eth on the SSon on ha hath th ev everlasting erlasting lif life: e: and he tha thatt believ believeth eth not the SSon on shall not see lif life; e; but the wr wrath ath of G God od abideth on him. John 3: 3:36 :36
