TWO residents of Romanby, near Northallerton have been recognised by Hambleton District Council for outstanding service to the local community. Duncan and Jan Davison, who are both members of the Rotary Club of Northallerton, have received a Hambleton Heroes Award from council leader, Cllr Mark Robson,. In his letter to the couple, Cllr Robson praised them for the tireless work they have undertaken during the pandemic to clear and maintain the footpath alongside Ainderby Road to the west of Northallerton (with one or two helpers). The path has proved to be a lifeline for walkers, joggers and cyclists taking daily exercise during lockdown. They have also been joint organisers of the creation of a Rotary Garden at the entrance to Hambleton District Council’s headquarters at Stone Cross, Rotary Way, Northallerton. Additionally, they regularly pick litter around the streets and surrounding countryside.

VALPARAISOÂ â Library Rotary Garden, the cityâs newest park, was popular even before it opened to the public.
The park, which occupies a quarter of a city block at the intersection of Jefferson Street and Michigan Avenue, once housed a drive-thru for Chase Bank. At the end of Chaseâs tenure there, it was used only for an ATM to dispense money.
Now the site is collecting money. So far, more than $190,000 in private donations have poured into the park.
âThereâs a plaque next to everything,â Porter County Public Library System board member Stu Summers said. Summers was board president for much of the time the park was under development.

As we slip slowly out of another year, one unlike any other most have ever experienced, we enter a new year filled with uncertainty and yet promising positivity, we harken back to many things that have occurred in just a few months.
Let’s recognize some of those folks and organizations.
One thing that surprised and pleased many Dover drivers for a short period (for obvious reasons) was wicked cool (I’m not sorry for the pun). On the 18th of December, Dennis Hickey and Dave Soha of Ice Breakers Ice Carving of Manchester worked through the night to create a marvelous sculpture at the Rotary Garden at the head of Henry Law Park. Rudolph was sculpted as well as three chilly, but beautiful Christmas trees. The responsible organization is Dover Main Street and the most recent of the fun things they ve presented. Of course, the sculptures will last only as long as Mother Nature allows, but if you go to dovermainstreet.org, there is a video for you.
