We hope you like the front cover image this month. It is a painting taken from an exhibition of Fostered Children’s artwork. The competition rules asked the children to draw something close to their hearts and this was one of the category winners. It probably reinforces our own awareness of the importance of home and family.

PASTORAL LETTER & CHURCH MEETINGS In late July 1941, a prisoner at Auschwitz concentration camp went missing and could not be found. Karl Fritzsch, the deputy commandant, announced a terrible reprisal against those who remained. Ten men from the fugitive’s bunker were to be locked up without food or water until all were dead. As the ten were selected at random, one of them, Franciszek Gajowniczek, cried out: “My wife! My children! What will they do?” Fritzsch was uninterested in the man’s anguish, but what happened next took him completely by surprise. Another prisoner stepped quietly forward from the crowd, removed his cap and said: “Let me take his place. I am old. He has a wife and children.” The man’s name was Maximilian Kolbe, a Catholic priest from Poland. After a moment’s hesitation, Fritzsch accepted his offer and Kolbe was condemned to die in Gajowniczek’s place. The ten men were thrown down the stairs of the starvation bunker and left to die. Maximilian Kolbe spent the next two
weeks singing, praying and encouraging the other men. By the end of the fortnight, Kolbe alone was still alive, and his captors, requiring the bunker for new atrocities, ended his life with a fatal injection of phenol. Imagine for a moment how it would feel to be Franciszek Gajowniczek, sentenced to death and then suddenly reprieved by the sacrifice of another. Your gratitude to Maximilian Kolbe would be overwhelming. Gajowniczek lived for 53 years after the day his life was saved. He never forgot what Kolbe had done and never ceased to express his gratitude to the man who had died on his behalf. The amazing reality is that we all have a reason for such gratitude. Every person on this planet has been served with a spiritual death sentence which cuts us off from God. None of us can reach God based on our own merits, no matter how hard we try. Two thousand years ago, a man stepped forward from the crowd and offered to die in our place. His name

was Jesus. The Bible puts it like this: “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8) Love in this context is not a feeling or an emotion, but a selfless action on behalf of another person. Love is Maximilian Kolbe stepping forward to die in place of his fellow prisoner. And love is Jesus stepping forward to die in place of you and me. This leaves each of us with a decision to make, whether to accept God’s offer to cancel the death sentence hanging over our lives. Many years ago, I reached a turning point in my life and decided to choose God’s way. Although life as a believer is not always easy, I am certain that I made the right choice.

4. COACH PARKING – TEMPORARY ARRANGEMENTS DURING THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE RIVER NESS FLOOD SCHEME There had been circulated Report No. CIA02-13 (424kb pdf) dated 29 January 2013 by the Director of Transport, Environmental and Community Services which invited approval for the use of Ardross Street as a temporary coach drop-off / pick-up location for coaches during the construction phase of the River Ness Flood Alleviation Scheme and also for the opportunity to be taken to evaluate this location in relation to any longer term options for coach drop-off / pick-up in the City of Inverness. During a summary of the report, it was confirmed that the proposals to use Ardross Street would create between six and eight coach drop-off/pick-up bays close to the City Centre, involving the removal of the pay and display bays along the full length of the street on the Northern Meeting Park side, change of use of the area to allow coaches to drop off and pick up during the hours of 1000 and 1700 only (with no parking restrictions outwith these times), each bay to be signed and numbered for clarity and installation of a map showing where the main attractions were in relation the drop-off/pick-up area. The benefits of this solution were that Ardross Street was easy to locate and sign from all trunk roads, within easy walking distance of the City Centre and attractions and close to refreshment and toilet facilities in Eden Court & the Cathedral Tea Room. Finally, in order to implement the proposal, and in addition to agreement from the City Committee, it was advised that a traffic order would be required for Ardross Street for change of use from pay and display parking to coach drop-off/pick-up, signage would need to be installed at suitable and strategic locations and publicity would be required to be produced and widely distributed. During discussion, Members raised the following issues:the use of Ardross Street as a temporary coach drop-off/pick-up location during the
page 8 - May 2013
construction of the River Ness Flood Scheme was not ideal but represented the best solution under the circumstances; there was a need to ensure that the road safety issues involved in this new arrangement were carefully considered, not least in terms of the potential problems associated with the manoeuvring and parking of coaches and the need to ensure the safety of passengers entering and leaving the vehicles; there had been concerns expressed by the owners of local hotels and bed & breakfast establishments in the area in relation to potential parking difficulties and these concerns need to be addressed in the first instance wherever possible; there was a need to take account of additional traffic in the area during the tourist season, including tour buses from Invergordon who regularly stopped in the city; and it was imperative that Traffic Wardens were in place to ensure the enforcement of all conditions attached to this new arrangement and that the situation was closely monitored from the outset. Thereafter, the Committee AGREED the use of Ardross Street as a temporary coach drop-off/pick-up location for coaches, as detailed in Appendix A to the report, during the construction phase of the River Ness Flood Alleviation Scheme and the relevant Road Traffic Orders be progressed to allow this change to be put in place for the coming tourist season. It was also AGREED that the opportunity should be taken to evaluate this location in relation to any longer term options for coach drop-off/pick-up in the City of Inverness.
5. RIVER NESS FLOOD ALLEVIATION SCHEME (TIDAL SECTION) PARKING AND TRAFFIC ORDERS PHASE 1 There had been circulated Report No. CIA03-13 (2003kb pdf) dated 24 January 2013 by the Director of Transport, Environmental and Community Services which invited approval of the making and implementation of Parking and Traffic Orders relating to the Streetscaping Works
tel: 01309 690063
associated with the River Ness Flood Alleviation Scheme (Tidal Section) Phase 1. Members were also asked to note the programme for scheme delivery. During a summary of the report, it was confirmed that a number of stakeholder meetings, presentations and briefings had taken place through public exhibitions, street based stakeholder meetings, briefings for BID, tourism stakeholder meetings and Member Briefings. In addition, various press releases had been issued and scheme information had been available from the Flood Alleviation Scheme web page on the Highland Council Website and all of these consultations had informed and influenced the development of the proposed Parking and Traffic Orders. In this regard, objections to the Road Traffic Orders had been highlighted within the report, together with detailed information on progression of the Scheme which it was noted required to be completed by March 2015 in order to achieve the funding programme which had been set by the Scottish Government.
12. CAPITAL PROJECTS TO 30 NOVEMBER 2012 There had been circulated Report No. CIA10-13 (78kb pdf) dated 31 January 2013 by the Director of Finance which highlighted the annual budget, expenditure to the end of November 2012 and the projected year end position for 2012/13 for City Projects included in the Council’s Capital Programme. During a summary of the report, it was confirmed that capital spend in Nairn had been unintentionally included in the report but that this would be corrected and extracted from future reports. During discussion, and in regard to the ‘Ach an Eas’ project, it was noted that there had been additional costs which had delayed Phase 2. Also, in relation to the ‘Burnside’ project, this had been delayed due to contaminated land which would have to be made safe before building commenced.

PARLIAMENT BLOG & TIDE TIMES
Returning home to Aviemore following the Budget, I was looking forward to getting away from the cut and thrust of parliamentary business and questions. Little did I know I had a different, and in some ways even more challenging audience awaiting me in Aviemore! Being quizzed by Aviemore Primary pupils was certainly more fun than the House of Commons or the TV studios but no less difficult. Questions such as ‘Can we move Big Ben to the Highlands?’ and ‘If you are my MP, who is your MP?’ made for a busy and entertaining chat. But it was also hugely informative for me. Primary two pupils at the school re-enacted their category winning performance from the Badenoch and Strathspey Music Festival. It was a superb underwater themed musical presentation and one young man received his winning certificate for his awareness raising artwork for the Earth Hour Poster Competition. I was also given a tour of the new hightech specifications of the school. Pupils told me they particularly enjoyed the interactive technology, such as the electronic whiteboard and the communal laptops. Congratulations to everyone involved and thank you to the teachers and pupils for a thrilling afternoon. Hopefully I will get to visit many more of our schools, organisations and businesses this spring and summer as I extend my regular surgeries to include additional events for constituents in the smaller communities of Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch and Strathspey.
The Convention of the Highlands and Islands is a meeting between the Scottish Government and Highlands and Islands councils, health, enterprise, environment and skills leaders. Writing this from Lerwick, where the Convention has just met, we have just had a day of discussions on health, community planning, youth employment and energy. We have also had a beautifully sunny day and, reputedly at least, the weather here was the best in Scotland! The aim of the Convention is to make sure that the Highlands and the Islands are not neglected, in the grand scheme of things, by Ministers in Edinburgh or, for that matter, London. And it is a means of ensuring that Ministers can discuss with Council leaders matters of concern and importance. In addition to attending the Convention and during the three day visit, I met the local Port Authority in Lerwick, who are very busy and looking to be able to carry out the work needed to decommission oil rigs. In addition, I visited Sullom Voe and also met with local campaigners on a variety of issues. We have, in my party, always supported the idea that the Islands should enjoy the power to control their own future - and that we should work with them in partnership. The only way to do that is to have regular meetings - which we do every six months. There is no shortcut or substitute in politics and in government in spending the necessary time to listen and learn - it is time well spent.

Dreaming of... 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 easily picked 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!

Volkswagen - 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.
Another top choice is the latest Polo. Costing from just £10,490 it is available with 12 month’s free insurance for over 21-yearolds 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.
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.

Caring about...
MOSS – last chance saloon (for this year) 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!

WHY DID JESUS DIE? 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. Sin Brings Death In 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 Us Did 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 finished the work of atonement to the glory of God. A holy, righteous, just God cannot let sin go unpunished. On the cross the Lord Jesus bore God’s judgment against sin in our stead, as our substitute; and now God is offering not only forgiveness, but also justification to the repentant sinner who believes in Jesus. He is “just, and the justifier 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 Way There 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 Today God 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 flee 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.
“For God loved world, gave “F or G od so lo ved the w orld, that that he ga ve his only begotten begotten Son, Son, that that whosoev whosoever er believ believeth eth in him should not perish, perish, but have have everlasting everlasting life’’ life’’
