A Message from the Interim Moderator www.kiltarlityandkirkhill.org.uk Kiltarlity and Wardlaw Churches A MESSAGE FROM THE INTERIM MODERATOR Dear Friends As you will probably know by now, I was appointed Interim Moderator by the Presbytery of Inverness on 7th February following the resignation of Revd. Dr. Kobus Smit. From Presbytery’s point of view this was not an outcome we had anticipated and we are now taking time to assess the situation. Representatives of Presbytery’s Parish Reappraisal Committee will be coming shortly to meet with both Kirk Sessions. This is standard practice and the first stage in a process which will involve consultation with Ministries Council in Edinburgh and will probably take some months to complete. In the meantime it is business as usual. I have already met with the Deacons’ Courts and Kirk Sessions of both congregations and I am gradually getting a picture of the life of the churches at Kiltarlity and Kirkhill. It is already plain that there is excellent leadership in both congregations to keep the life and ministry of both churches moving forward at this time. Both churches have, of course, just completed major refurbishment work which is very significant for the future. My contact details are given below if you need to get in touch with me. I am responsible for arranging for people to come to conduct the services of worship and I will come periodically myself. I will also look after marriages, baptisms and funerals possibly delegating where necessary. I will also try to cover people in hospital. However you will appreciate that this is all a balancing act with my existing commitments at Kilmorack and Erchless. I look forward to getting to know you better in the months ahead. With best wishes Edgar Ogston Roselynn, Croyard Road, Beauly, IV4 7DJ 01463 782 260 edgar.ogston@macfish,com The Parishioner Newsletter Issue 49 - March 2012 Page 1 of 22 www.kiltarlityandkirkhill.org.uk Kirkhill and Bunchrew Community Energy Efficiency and Low Carbon Programme. This is the final update on the Kirkhill and Bunchrew Community Trust’s year-long energy efficiency and low carbon programme. This time last year we were applying for funding for the Programme. We were in the depths of a 2nd bitter winter. Heating systems were working flat out to keep our homes warm and energy prices were on the rise. A year on, what have we achieved ? Our community volunteers received energy meters to help learn about saving energy in their homes. This has helped identify high energy lighting, learn about the energy costs of different appliances like washing machines, fridges and freezers and even wee items like computers and kettles. Our renewable energy fair helped raise awareness of different systems for a number of local families. And we have an excellent information resource on the community web site with information about assistance and support, “how to” guides and local renewable energy case studies. And we have raised awareness of the impartial, free advice and support available from the local Energy Saving Trust office on 0800 512 012. So if you find yourself struggling with high energy bills or not sure how to reduce your energy use, visit the web site at http://kirkhillandbunchrew.org.uk or call the local Energy Saving Trust office – see above - for impartial and free advice.

Avril has let us have the picture shown above, which shows a young Mary and Joseph joined by Guild members who had battled through atrocious weather conditions to attend. This may go some way towards explaining the waterproof jackets etc ! Thanks to Avril who managed to take this photo whilst playing the part of one of the Magi travelling on a seemingly unruly camel. After a break for what we hope has been the worst of the winter weather, Guild meetings resume on the 1st Tuesday in March at 2.30 p.m. when our guest speaker will be Bill Stone from Childline / NSPCC. We will be meeting in the refurbished Guild Room at Wardlaw Church. This is now a much more welcoming environment for our meetings. Like the main church, the Guild Room has been given a new floor ( no more fighting over who sits on the sloping bit ! ), new wall-mounted heaters, new upholstered chairs and newly painted walls. We look forward to welcoming all-comers, as well as Guild regulars. Rosemary Mortimer A very grateful thank you to Keith and Mary McClelland for taking the photographs and making a video of the newly refurbished Wardlaw Church. They very kindly came to visit me in the Highland Hospice and showed me the video of the Church in late January. I am still harbouring thoughts of being in the new Church soon, but I am presently bed ridden at home, and not steady on my feet when I get out of bed. I would also like to thank the Deacons and Elders for the framed photograph of the new Church, which Jock has hung on my bedroom wall so I can look at my Church every day.

    Comic Relief: Multi-cloud, multi-foundation, 400 real-time donations per second, zero downtime, 100% success Over the past 30 years, Comic Relief [http://www.comicrelief.com/] has raised over £1 billion for good causes around the world and in the UK. Through their two campaigns Red Nose Day [www.rednoseday.com] and Sport Relief [http://www.sportrelief.com/], they used the money donated by the great British public to make their vision a reality: a just world, free from poverty. Founded in 1985 by comedy scriptwriter Richard Curtis and comedian Lenny Henry in response to famine in Ethiopia, every year Comic Relief has grown in size and influence. In its first telethon in 1998 it raised £76,610. In 2015, it raised £99,418,831. Every two years, Comic Relief’s Red Nose Day takes over primetime Friday night BBC TV for seven hours. The telethon is responsible for the majority of Comic Relief’s annual fundraising, attracting a large audience who donate money via the website or a network of 14,000 call centre operators across 120 call centres who donate their time for free. “With an increasing number of donations to Comic Relief being taken online, it is critical we have 100% confidence in our donations platform. Armakuni provides us with that confidence.” Derek Gannon, COO, Comic Relief The old donations platform The directors appreciated that the existing platform was nearing its end of life and a new platform was needed - when such a large percentage of your annual money is made in about 7 hours, you really want to know the thing is not going to fail.

  • By Kevin Kelly
    Are the tabloids helping or hindering our progress? By Kevin Kelly (i) Executive Summary The aim of this study was to highlight the impact positive/ negative of the tabloid media in this country. The findings were pretty conclusive – the overwhelming message is negative. In terms of space allocated, twice as much space is allocated to negative headlines as opposed to positive one. Please note that for the purposes of this study; I didn’t include subheadlines and associated pictures which without doubt would have made the statistics even more negative. Negative headlines aren’t just allocated more space – they have more impact in terms of design ie font size/underlining/reverse etc. Collage without Independent Independent review: (Note we wanted to show both graphics considering that the Irish Independent isn’t considered a tabloid in the true sense of the word.) In terms of the number of positive to negative headlines; here are the stats: Positive Negative Neutral Total: 348 462 115 Totals without Irish Independent: 253 396 92 Daily Sun 58 85 30 Daily Star 79 110 25 Daily Mirror 62 92 18 Daily Mail 54 109 19 Irish Independent 95 66 23 This over emphasis on negative stories in the authors opinion has a negative knock on effect on consumer confidence – if peoples mind’s are continually filled with negativity, it is hard to expect them to be filled with confidence and want to go out and spend. Ironically their spending goes hand and hand with Advertising spend. Thus one could argue that the current editorial policy is damaging both the consumer and the newspaper.
