Columnist to look at origins of classic songs through year Crowding around the Friendship Bench Last year two benches, like the one being mobbed by students above, were placed at Hullett Central Public School to encourage students to reach out to each other. Now, the benches seem to be serving their purpose as friends are getting together and chatting on and around them. Back row, from left: Sadie Squires, Chandler Bromley, Ashley Mielhause and Evie Reid. Front row, from left: Elianne Kreuger, Shayna Hunking and Heidi Badley. (Denny Scott photo) I trust all who know her will be keeping Darlene Shobbrook in their thoughts and prayers. She remains in Victoria Hospital in London while the doctors assess her condition and decide how best to treat her. She has been in hospital for about three weeks and would surely appreciate a card to boost her spirits. This is a new year and I thought I would start something new for this space, the background behind some familiar songs. To celebrate a new year and a new start, I have chosen the familiar song of New Year's Eve, "Auld Lang Syne", written by one of Scotland's greatest poets. In 1788, Robert Burns penned new lyrics for a traditional folk song. In this song, Burns wonders if old friends and old times should be remembered or should one concentrate on the future. Burns decided as we would, that the past and future are both important. The Scottish tradition is to join hands to sing "Auld Lang Syne". That way the song is a symbol of inclusion. So through 2016 let's all reach out in our lives to include all races, backgrounds and beliefs. The Londesborough UCW will begin a new year on Jan. 18. The meeting will begin with refreshments at 7 p.m. Business/program will begin at 7:30. New President Helen Lobb will preside. Volunteers have poked in dark corners of storage areas at the church and have identified items the church no longer needs. Perhaps they have found something you might like or could use. Check in the church basement or contact one of the trustees. FROM LONDESBORO Networ l FINANCIAL SERVICES $$ CONSOLIDATE YOUR DEBT $$ HOME EQUITY LOANS FOR ANY PURPOSE!!
