BY WENDY GABREK

On Friday, January 24, a Robbie Burns Celebration was held at the Gibson Centre for Arts & Culture in Alliston in honour of Scotland’s national poet, Robert Burns. The event included a traditional meal of neeps, tatties and Haggis (and a hearty roast beef for less adventurous types). Entertainment including Highland Dance, Poetry & Pipes, and bagpipes as played by the Clans of New Tecumseth Pipes & Drums Band with musical guests Jennifer Ricker and Ann Sheehan. Robbie Burns, a Scottish poet, lyricist, and farmer died at the age of 37 (January 1759 – July 1796), and is widely regarded as a pioneer of the Romantic movement. “After his death he became a great source of inspiration to the founders of both liberalism and socialism, and a cultural icon in Scotland and among the Scottish diaspora around the world,” reads a biography of Burns. “Celebration of his life and work became almost a national charismatic cult during the 19th and 20th centuries, and his influence has long been strong on Scottish literature. In 2009 he was chosen as the greatest Scot by the Scottish public in a vote run by Scottish television channel STV. “As well as making original compositions, Burns also collected folk songs from across Scotland, often revising or adapting them. His poem (and song) ‘Auld Lang Syne’ is often sung at Hogmanay (the last day of the year), and ‘Scots Wha Hae’ served for a long time as an unofficial national anthem of the country. Other poems and songs of Burns that remain well known across the world today include ‘A Red, Red Rose’, ‘A Man’s a Man for A’ That’, ‘To a Louse’, ‘To a Mouse’, ‘The Battle of Sherramuir’,’Tam o’ Shanter’ and ‘Ae Fond Kiss.’” In Alliston, guests were called to dinner by the pipe, courtesy of members of the Clans of Tecumseth Pipes and Drums – who lined the staircase to the second floor. The introduction of the Haggis came next, piped in by Pipe Major Rory MacKinnon, by Lachlan McGurk – who also toasted to the pipers, The Immortal Bard, and recited the Selkirk Grace before supper.

Hornets winning streak snapped with loss to Orillia

BY BRIAN LOCKHART

An 11-game winning streak ended for the Alliston Hor- nets when they travelled to Orillia to take on the Terriers on Saturday, January 25. The Hornets failed to score in the fi rst two periods while Orillia picked up singles in both frames. Alliston’s Braydon Hogarth got the only Hornets goal of the night on a powerplay at 1:08 into the third period. The Terriers picked up two more goals in the third for a 4 – 1 win. The game might be a precursor of an upcoming series once the Carruthers North Division playoffs are underway. Orillia is currently in third place behind the Hornets. The Hornets did much better on Friday night when they hosted the Schomberg Cougars at the New Tecumseth Recreation Centre. Christian Moore opened the scoring for Alliston late in the fi rst period. That was followed by a devastating second period that saw the Hornets score fi ve unanswered goals that gave them a 6 -1 lead with one period left to go. Alliston goals came from Didier Koenigs, Jordan Taylor on a powerplay, Liam Kendall, and a pair from Ryan Sal- lows. Schomberg avoided the shutout when they scored a single goal in the third period. The fi nal was a 6 – 1 for the Hornets. With one game left on the regular season schedule, the Hornets will fi nish in fi rst place – they are currently a full The Alliston Hornets hosted the Schomberg Cougars on the ice at the New Tecumseth Recreation Centre on Friday, January 24.
