Durand Hosts Burns Night: January 27th, 2008

Robert Burns(25 January 1759 – 21 July 1796) (also known as Rabbie Burns, Scotland's favorite son, the Ploughman Poet, the Bard of Ayrshire and in Scotland as simply The Bard) was a poet and a lyricist. He is widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland, and is celebrated worldwide.

He is the best-known of the poets who have written in the Scots language, although much of his writing is also in English and a 'light' Scots dialect, accessible to an audience beyond Scotland. He also wrote in standard English, and in these pieces, his political or civil commentary is often at its most blunt. He is regarded as a pioneer of the Romantic movement and after his death became an important source of inspiration to the founders of both liberalism and socialism.
 
A cultural icon in Scotland and among Scots who have relocated to other parts of the world (the Scottish Diaspora), 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. Durand proudly hosted the Burns tribute in Ocean County.

Monmouth Closed Temple in the News (Asbury Park Press Story) MANASQUAN - If these walls could talk, they wouldn't say much. Three stories above Manasquan's Norman Rockwell-esque downtown, there silently sits a scene right out of "Indiana Jones" - a nearly century-old temple built by a secret society that left it behind more than 50 years ago. The Masonic Temple, at 168-170 Main St., was built by the Goodwin Royal Arch Chapter of the Freemasons in 1923, but was lost in a sheriff's sale in 1953.
