Picture by Eileen Fitzpatrick, Copyright

It was my birthday at the beginning ofAugust. My husband Ranald took meout for a romantic meal. Over acandlelit dinner Ranald reminded methat he’d spent so much money onme as his girlfriend that he decided tomarry me for HIS money! He doespay me lots of nice compliments,such as, “Kay, if you lived in India, youwould be sacred!” Life is too short notto have a laugh with one another.

Something which is very clear toRanald and me is that, whenever wehave strangers in the midst of ourcongregation, be it for a normalSunday Service, a wedding, baptismor a funeral, many of these visitors aresurprised that we tell funny storiesabout folk (real and imaginary) andwe laugh in church! We are made inthe image of God and God has a

great sense of humour - just look atthe two of us!

Sadly, some of us in the church havepresented God as being boring, dourand humourless. They seem to havemissed the verse at 1 Thessalonians5:16 which says, “Be joyful always!”

What strikes us in our visitations of theterminally ill is that it is their sense ofhumour that helps both them andfamily members to cope during whatis a very difficult time. And we canspeak from personal knowledge ofillness and debilitating accidents inour family these last two years.

So, if you’re feeling down at themoment because of the corruptofficials that steal the food out ofdying mouths in East Africa; or the

hatred that leads to the continualkilling of one another in Afghanistan;or the general lawlessness and lackof moral fibre in our society, keep yourchins up (all seven of them!) and putyour trust in God that, by the power ofHis Holy Spirit, we CAN make thisworld a better place and bring love,healing, reconciliation and laughterinto the lives of others and ourselves.

I cheered up Ranald the other daywhen I found him crying. I said, “Don’tcry, Ranald, I’ll never leave you!” Hereplied, “That’s why I’m crying!” Godbless you all and may you “Rejoice inthe Lord always. I will say it again,REJOICE!” (Philippians 4:4)

Questions

• Ms Coverley asked Community Warden

Crawford if he knew whether the former night

club ‘Clash’, on Cluny Square, was to be re-

opening as she had noticed workmen

employed there recently. His answer was

that he had received no notification of this but

would try to find out.

• Mr Cartwright asked if the police had

caught the perpetrators who set fire to the

bench in the rose garden on Queen Street

Community Warden Crawford said that he

didn’t have this information but would

endeavour to get it and give the answer at

the next meeting of the community council.

• The Chairman asked if he could provide

any police information of interest to

members. He told how a number of houses

in the Buckie area had been searched for

drugs, while there was an on-going

programme to deal with speeding drivers

while efforts to combat anti-social behaviour

were still high on the police agenda.

a.o.c.B.

A) Resignation of Treasurer - Ms Coverley

intimated her intention to resign from the post

of Treasurer as from September; she said

that she had every intention, however, to

continue as Vice Chairman.

B) Resignation of member - The Chairman

read from a letter that he had received from

Howard Cartwright in which he said that he

would be resigning as a member of Buckie

Community Council and for different

reasons, one that he had sold his house and

would be moving south. He said how he had

enjoyed his time as a councillor finding the

work interesting and wished the council

every success in the future. Mr Smith

accepted the letter, as he said, with regret

but under the circumstances he understood

it had to be. He thanked Mr Cartwright for his

services as a community councillor saying

how he had been a regular attendee at

meetings and had played an important part in

the discussions that took place. He wished

him well.

C) Plants for the floral bed at the Toll Bar -

Mr Fraser who was absent from the April

meeting of the community council said that

he would have agreed with the decision

taken that we would not be accepting the

plants at the figure quoted as it seemed

higher than one would have expected. That

day, however, he had again went and

removed such weeds as there were and also

counted up the number of plants one would

require to cover the area and had come to

the conclusion at just over 100. He had then

asked a quote from a supplier who quoted

between £25 and £30 dependant on the

plants chosen. A majority decision was taken

that the community council was still not

prepared to pay this as there were fears that

it would be money ill spent if work to create

the new gateway was to begin shortly. Mr

Fraser accepted the decision but would be

keeping an eye on the bed as creeping

weeds surrounded it, which would be difficult

to eradicate if left to take over for another

year.

D) Gateway and Woodland Walks - Mr

Cowie asked the two Moray Councillors

present if they knew when the road improve-

ments, new gateway and woodland walks

were likely to be implemented. They said that

they would try to find out and report back at

the next meeting

E) Detailed map of Buckie – All present

received a detailed map of Buckie from

Councillor McDonald, which had been

produced for Buckie Area Forum and the Re-

generation Group. The map was artistically

drawn though some, it was felt, may

complain that the whole of Buckie is not

shown. Mr Fraser noticed that Broadley was

spelt wrongly; St ninian’s Chapel in the

wrong place and thought an important

church like Preshome ought to have been

included.

G) lack of road markings - Ms Coverley said

that she had received a complaint regarding

the absence of road markings in the area of

Portessie including Station Road/Chapel

Street/Chancellor Road. This will be reported

to the relevant section of Moray Council.

H) Congratulations – Mr Smith said it should

be put on record that the community council

would wish to congratulate Buckie Thistle on

winning the Highland league for the past two

seasons.

i) Coat of Arms Charter and flag - Mr Smith

said that he had received a phone call asking

that he bring the charter and flag down,

which he had held for some time, down to the

Buckie library at his earliest, which he did.

Some time later he was in the library and

was disappointed to find that instead of being

on display as he had imagined they would be

found them in the bottom of a glass case all

crushed up. (There had been a misunder-

standing as was explained to Mr Fraser

when he spoke to Mrs Kidd the following day

on the matter. She was very apologetic and

explained why the flag etc was where it was

and what was to happen.)

J) Community Council Calendar - Mrs Pitt

said how she had now contacted all the

schools in the Buckie area concerning the

proposed Community Council calendar and

to date had received 8 replies. She had

decided to contact Play Groups etc., to make

it up to 12. it was also decided to let the

schools pick the pictures they want published

with the community council giving them the

month for their theme. This will be discussed

at the July meeting.

K) Minute Secretary – Howard Cartwright

proposed that it might be an advantage to

have a Minute Secretary, has received

support from Mrs Pitt. no one was otherwise

minded. it was agreed that an advert be

placed in the Banffshire Advertiser.

l) Mr Smith said he received a complaint

regarding the water seepage at the Old

Station Brae. After discussion it was decided

that we would look into the ownership of the

banks and that the drainage channel was

kept clear as the banks in this area is very

wet and unstable.

The next meeting of Buckie Community

Council will take place on Tuesday 20 Sept.

The summer in

Moray has been a

bit changeable

weather wise but

the wetter spells haven’t

managed to put a dampner on

the many fetes, games and

shows that I have been at!

The summer calendar is a bit

of a mix of work and leisure

with the opportunity to speak

to lots of folk but equally a

good day out with the family.

It is, of course, slightly

surreal to be talking serious

agricultural issues or the

impact of the work of a local

organisation, then five

minutes later getting hit on

the hid with an inflatable

hammer, won by my eldest son

for hooking a plastic duck.

It’s probably a good balance

though!

Since this is the

first Spotlight

edition since the

announcemen t

that RAF Lossiemouth is to

continue as an RAF base and

Kinloss is to convert to an

Army Base, I will use the

opportunity to thank everyone

in the community - residents,

businesses, elected represen-

tatives from all parties and

none, public sector represen-

tatives and many, many

others, who pulled together in

an unprecedented show of

community spirit.

We have built enormous

momentum and the decision

to retain Lossiemouth and

have a future army role for

Kinloss is vindication of those

efforts. We must now take that

momentum and continue to

drive forward to grow and

diversify Moray’s economy.

Richard Lochhead MSP

Angus Robertson MP

“ ”“But God commendeth His love towards us, in that,

while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”

You may take His Name upon your lips in oaths and curses if you so choose.

He is in your hands - now. On the other hand, you may seek His favor, humble yourself before Him and beg His mercy, implore His forgiveness, forsake your sins, and commit your whole life to Him. He has said, “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me.” Revelation 3:20

The choice is up to you. The latch is on your side of the door. The choice is yours: the revellings and pleasure-seekings of this world or quiet communion with God; the ever burning lusts of the �esh or the powerful victory of Holy Spirit discipline. The choice is yours:

followers, and laugh at hell. It is permitted. The eternal Christ may knock at your soul’s door, calling you to give up sin and prepare for heaven. You may refuse Him, spit on Him, call Him a devil, curse Him. It is permitted.

God placed Himself in men’s hands when He sent Jesus Christ into the world as perfect God and perfect Man in one Being. He was then in man’s hands. They cursed Him. It was permitted. Men spit on Him. God allowed it. They called Him a devil. God withheld His wrath. Finally men arrested Him, gave Him a mock trial, �ogged Him, nailed Him on a cross and hung Him between earth and heaven; and God allowed it.

You can do likewise, though Christ is not bodily present. You can ignore Him. You can ignore His Book, the Bible. You can laugh at His bloodbought salvation, curse His

God is in your hands, now…

God has already set the day when you will be in His hands.

What He does with you then depends on what you do with Him now. Then it will be a “fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God” Hebrews 10:31, if you have abused Him in your hands. In that day God will have only two verdicts: “Depart from Me, ye cursed, into everlasting �re, prepared for the devil and his angels” Matthew 25:41, or “enter thou into the joy of thy Lord” Matthew 25:21. The verdict that will fall upon you depends on what you do with Christ now.

The Lord Jesus Christ is the only shelter in the day of God’s wrath; He is the appointed expression of God’s love to us, demonstrated in His life, death, and resurrec-tion. Through the Holy Spirit, He continues His love, moving upon our human spirit and prompting our human conscience. You have no connection with God or with heaven but through the Lord Jesus Christ. There is “one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus…” I Timothy 2:5

You may choose to be neutral, but that is delusion. You may postpone decision, so to speak. But, to the ear of God, the postponement is a �at “no.” This is your day. He is in your hands. In God’s day, when you are in His hands, there will be no postponement of sentence, no neutral place between heaven and hell, no mediator between God and man. No mediator - for He who is now mediator has already been appointed to be Judge in that day.

If you want mercy and pardon, you will have to get it now. God loves you, Christ died as a substitute for your sins on the cross. You have to receive Him for yourself; no-one can do it for you. But do it now.

Water babiesWater babiesWater babiesWater babiesYou will find that there are many benefits and pleasures to be had by bringing your baby swimming at an early age. It is considered that it is appropriate to take a baby to a swimming pool from the age of six months onwards providing that the conditions are right e.g. warm water, adequate changing facilities etc.Health professionals do not consider that the immunisation programme should affect the opportunity to go swimming.

However, please remember that the chemicals in the water may have an effect on a very young baby and that the water tempera-ture will chill them quickly.It has been proven that babies who develop their swimming abilities at an

early age are normally very alert for their age and may progress in crawling and walking more quickly.If you start early enough your child will not have had a chance to develop a fear of the water as a baby is naturally at home in an aquatic environment.

You will have the pleasure of seeing your child growing into a relaxed and confident swimmer at an early age which will not only make him/her safer playing near water but will prove to be a valuable form of recreation and exercise which everyone can join in on.

You will also find the exercise helps your baby to sleep well.

As the nights draw in, this is a great dish that isquick to prepare and can be done inadvance, perfect for supper with friends

Prawn and Whitefish Curry

2 Green Chillies2 Onions - thinly sliced3cm Fresh Root Ginger2 dessert spoons Green Thai Curry Paste400grm can Coconut Milk1 teaspoon Garam Masala225grm cooked and peeled King Prawns500grm firm White Fish(pollock, haddock, cod)1 tablespoon Vegetable Oil3 teaspoons Tumeric Powder

Cut the stalks from the green chillies, slice thinly. Ifyou prefer to have your curry not so hot, de-seed thechillies. Peel the root ginger and shred into finematchsticks.Place the onions and chillies in a frying pan with thevegetable oil on a medium heat to soften theonions. Add the ginger and curry paste, garammasala and 2 teaspoons of the tumeric.Put the coconut milk into a measuring jug and fill to¾ litre with boiling water.Pour the milk mixture into the frying pan and simmerfor 10 minutes to reduce slightly.Dice the white fish into chunks, and toss with the kingprawns in the remaining tumeric. This can be setaside until you are ready to eat.Just before you are about to eat, heat the sauce upand when simmering add the fish and prawns, cookfor 5 minutes until the fish is cooked and the prawnsthoroughly heated. Serve with boiled rice.For added flavour garnish with freshly chopped coriander.

One of the most rapidly expanding sectors of the Travel Industry is Cruising. It can be described as living in a luxury hotel, which moves from destination to destination, and there is no need to pack or unpack your suitcases more than once!Fewer than one third of the British population go on Cruises, although it is double that number in the USA. The market has seen steady growth, driven by innovation and the quality of the experience. There are large capacity increases being launched all the time, so what might have seemed like a very exclusive mode of transport historically has become much more available to the seasoned holidaymakers. Born out of the need to take Mail and certain important goods round the world, cruising has evolved from being a byproduct of a necessary industry to an industry in itself. There are still certain types of working boats that will take passengers as well, but the predominance of Cruise liners today are purpose-built and very luxurious. They are large ships with all the facilities, such as sports, health and wellbeing Spa facilities, as well as theatre and cultural entertainment.There is a perception that cruising is very formal and only for the older generation, but that is changing. The average age of Cruising people comes down each year, and ships are coming into service to cater for different needs. Some prefer to do a Fly Cruise, where you join the ship in an already exotic or interesting destination. Some prefer a Fly and Stay, where they join the ship and before or after their cruise they spend some time in that country. Some prefer to depart and return to a home port, negating the need to fly at all. Although the prices sometimes look expensive, you have to remember that all your meals are normally included in the price, and the only things to spend your money on are drinks.Imagine spending a day in an interesting European city, retiring to the ship for dinner and a good night's sleep, and then waking up in the morning in another fascinating destination. That's Cruising!

As Autumn approaches, bird watcher's gear up for a busy time of year and one of the most eagerly awaited family of birds to return, are the Waders.

Many of these birds will be here for the whole winter, however, the difference at this time of year is that many will still be retaining their Summer breeding plumage. The two that have probably the most dramatic colour change, is the Bar Tailed Godwit and Knot.

Bar Tailed Godwits are a large Wader, about the size of a Curlew and found on sandy stretches of the shoreline where they probe the mud and sand for food using their long straight bill (as opposed to the long curved bill of the Curlew). As these birds arrive from their

breeding grounds in the high Arctic tundra, they form loose flocks of usually between twenty and thirty birds. However, if you visit Findhorn bay you may be treated to flocks in excess of two hundred.

as well as heading for the sandy beaches they also frequent the more rocky sections of the shore. A smaller and stockier bird than the Godwit, its' brick red plumage makes it very obvious against the grey rocks; however give it a few more weeks and it's pale grey winter feathers will blend magically into its' surround-ings. Its' much shorter bill, show a different feeding technique also; the Knot probing into shallower sand and picking food from the surface of the sea-weed and rocks.

With the Seasons changing so does the birdlife, the first Geese will be arriving on local Lochs and estuaries and the last of the Summer migrants will be heading South to their winter-ing grounds, with all the upheaval of migra-tion, it's definitely a time to expect the unexpected!
