New Roads Immortalise Amberley Legends
Two new roads in Amberley will honour the contributions of well-known community figures. The naming of the two private roads, both to be located in Amberley Country Estate Retirement Village, have been approved by Council. The new McEwan Crescent will pay homage to Gordon McEwan, a blacksmith who worked for Arthur Burke Ltd Blacksmith Shop during the 20th century, and was put forward as a 'tribute to local craftsmanship and community backbone'. The second namesake lives in the Amberley Country Estate, close to the new road that will bear her name: Lodge Lane - 'in honour of Helen Lodge, a recent recipient of the Hurunui District Council Community Service Award. Helen and her husband, formerly Amberley's local police constable, have served the community for decades.' There are few community organisations Helen hasn't served on. Her Community Service Award, awarded last year, recognises her service to the Amberley Lions' Club, the Amberley District Community Vehicle Trust, Amberley Returned Services Association, Poppy Day Appeal, Hato Hone St John, Cancer Support, the Dementia Unit in Amberley, IHC, and more. Arriving in Amberley 40 years ago from Otago, Helen has been a volunteer for most of her life and, she says, her husband Mike was a member of the Lions Club for 50 years. 'He was the last of the sole-charge policemen,' she says. Council's Planner Scott Rose says while councils are responsible for the naming of public roads, it is common for privately-owned retirement villages to request the naming and registration of private roads for easy navigation around the village for residents, visitors, postal services and emergency services. 'Council involvement ensures consistent naming and avoids duplication and confusion with any existing public roads. It also ensures these names are known to Council for future road naming.' Scott says road names need to conform to the Rural and Urban Addressing Policy to meet legislative, Land Information New Zealand, New Zealand Post and emergency services requirements. 'Badly assigned addresses can cause problems and are costly to rectify.' Once a subdivision is established, road naming can start, Rose says. 'Applicants submit three suggested names, Council Planning officers make recommendations, and a report is brought to Council for final approval with the recommendation of the relevant Council Committee.' Hurunui District Mayor Marie Black, who presented Helen with her Community Service Award last year, says the new names are fitting tributes. 'Every road tells a story — and in this case, both honour the people who helped shape our community.'

Playing on the road against a top-five opponent, he caught four passes for 78 yards, including a fourth quarter touchdown that put USC up by two scores. The Trojans would go on to upset the No. 4 Huskies, helping them earn their first trip to the Rose Bowl in eight years. After USC: Due to his injuries Imatorbhebhe was granted a sixth year of eligibility in 2020, for which he transferred to Illinois. For his extra COVID year of eligibility in 2021, Imatorbhebhe transferred again, this time to Kansas State. With the Wildcats, he had a career-high 314 receiving yards. According to his LinkedIn profile, Imatorbhebhe currently works in Chicago as a client services associate for UBS.

Kent State Ashtabula graduates spring class
ASHTABULA — Amanda Good shared an amazing story of resiliency detailing her life through recovery to Kent State Ashtabula graduation Thursday evening during commencement exercises in the school's gymnasium. Good, a 2008 graduate of Lakeside High School, represented the class and shared how chemical dependency delayed college for her on several occasions, but also put her on a road to help others. 'I am in remission for multiple substance abuse disorders,' she said. She said she is proud to be a part of the first class of Kent State Ashtabula students to earn a Bachelor of Social Work degree, and plans to continue to work as a licensed chemical dependency counselor and social work assistant in addition to her roles as mother, aunt, sister and daughter. 'Who you were, who you are and who you will become are three different people,' she said. Gina Carlucci, of Conneaut, was busy taking selfies during the procession but was ready for the big night. '[I am] nervous but excited to be here with my friends,' she said. Jason Tirotta, manager of strategic communications and marketing for KSU regional campuses, said the planning for a graduation usually begins right after the last one is complete. He said there were about 100 graduates this spring, with 62 walking across the stage. He said 62 was the largest number of students participating in graduation since the coronavirus pandemic. Tirotta said the management staff does a great job of coordinating all the people participating and making sure everyone knows where to be. Kent State University Ashtabula Dean and Chief Administrative Officer R. William Ayers IV greeted students and their families. He thanked families for all the sacrifices they made to help students to the culmination of this phase of their education. He also thanked the students for all of their input into the lives of others while at the Kent campus as they juggled work and family obligations. Ayers also thanked Andrew Luoma, a long-time member of the school's IT department, for his work. Heather Tulino was honored with the Community Service Award for her creation of a non-profit organization entitled Adam's Angels, which assists the homeless. She was unable to attend because she was also receiving a lifetime achievement award for her work at the Cleveland Clinic. Staci Hall was honored with the Roger T. Beitler Distinguished Former Student award. Hall worked for the past 10 years in the charitable food network in a variety of ways. She said she hopes students use all they learn as they go out into their future endeavors.
