entitlement approval in 2016. Although the City had already received a $40K donation from an individual community member,
as well as a $5K recycling grant, funding for the project was lacking.
The Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs of Huntington Beach championed the project and garnered the support of their members to
come up with cash needed to fund the project. Rotary Club of Huntington Beach generously donated $50K and the Kiwanis
Club of Huntington Beach was able to raise $25K toward the project. Those donations, together with City Park Funds closed

Along with the laughter from the other customers nearby, I heard a
woman remark, "That's what's wrong with this country. Kids today don't
even know how to pray. Asking God for ice cream! Why, I never!"
Hearing this, my grandson burst into tears and asked me, "Did I do it
wrong? Is God mad at me?"
As I held him and assured him that he had done a terrific job, and God
was certainly not mad at him, an elderly gentleman approached the table.
He winked at my grandson and said, "I happen to know that God
thought that was a great prayer."
"Really?" my grandson asked.
"Cross my heart," the man replied.
Then, in a theatrical whisper, he added (indicating the woman whose remark had started this whole thing),
"Too bad she never asks God for ice cream. A little ice cream is good for the soul sometimes."
Naturally, I bought my grand-children ice cream at the end of the meal. My grandson stared at his for a
moment, and then did something I will remember the rest of my life.
He picked up his sundae and, without a word, walked over and placed it in front of the woman. With a big
smile he told her, "Here, this is for you. Ice cream is good for the soul sometimes; and my soul is good al-

Your Sign-Bucket List

AR IES . March 21 - April 19. . Positivity
Aries has the ability to find the good in almost any situation. While this strong sign is
known for battling their way through life, they are often able to do it with a smile on their
face and enough optimism to encourage others to keep moving forward, too. Even though
this ram sign has a hot temper, they're quick to forgive and let bygones be bygones because
they know life is too short to focus on the negatives.
TAURUS . April 20 - May 20 . Compassion

Tell a Taurus your troubles and they're likely to put their hand on your shoulder, give
you meaningful words of encouragement and follow up with a warm, comforting hug. This
family-oriented sign is never afraid to give their support and love to others, even at the ex-
pense of themselves. Their ability to understand someone's pain, and show kindness when
it's most needed is so powerful, it has the ability to transform situations for the better.
GEMIN I . May 21 - June 20 . Intellect

It's no secret to Gemini that they're smart. Their absolute love of knowledge can be in-
timidating to others, but because Gemini is so social and friendly, they are quick to make
anyone they're talking to feel equally intelligent. This twin sign is able to quickly synthesize
information and use it to improve the world around them. This makes them strong leaders
as well as thinkers.
CANCER . June 21 -
July 22 . Helpful
Nothing makes Cancer
happier than knowing they

one's day was brighter.
This sensitive sign
will make every ef-
fort to be there for
people who need

Yup - Thats Me
LEO . July 23 - August 22
. Inner Strength
Leo is the quiet, unmoving anchor in a
chaotic sea. Their strength is primal and deeper than
many can fathom. Leo's ability to weather storms and survive things that destroy others is
nothing short of remarkable, but they don't need you to tell them that. These fierce lions
are unwavering in their ability to overcome hardship and maintain their composure while
being confident leaders and, when needed, brave protectors.
V IRGO . August 23 - September 22 . Nurturing

A Virgo will never turn their back on someone in need. This loving maiden sign is drawn
to care-taking roles and no job, no matter how demanding, will change their minds.
Whether they're tending to the sick, providing for the needy, comforting someone in mourn-
ing or even assisting someone who is terminally ill, Virgo will give all of themselves in
order to make sure the person who needs them most feels loved.
L IBRA . September 23 - October 22 . Self-improvement Play it safe - never touch

Libra is always searching for ways to find the best version of themselves, and they aren't
afraid to work hard to achieve it. Whether it's analyzing their thoughts, feelings and reac- anything caught in a

AQUAR IUS . January 20 - February 18 . Stewardship

Aquarius is a healer by nature and takes great care to leave the world better than how
they found it. This wind sign has a natural green thumb and seems to intuitively know
what plants and even animals need in order to thrive. More important than harvesting the
wild, Aquarius will nurture it and help it recover from the damage humans have inflicted,
leaving a vibrant world for the next generation to enjoy.
P ISCES . February 19 - March 20 . Listening

Carved Masterpieces

It Looks Like An Old Rotten Tree Trunk But Looking Closer Reveals
Something Mind Blowing!
Artist Zheng Chunhui has created a piece called Along The River During
The Quinming Festival and it seems as though he was on a mission to blow
everyones mind.
Take a look at the photos below and try to imagine the incredible skill and
dedication required to create something like this
Nice tree, buddy 40-feet long? Pretty impressive! You want me to look
closer? Okay
Its is a replica of the famous Chinese painting Along The River During
The Quinming Festival created by artist Zhang Zeduan during the Song
Dynasty.
Um WHAT !?
This mind-blowing artwork was created by Zheng Chunhui and took four
years to complete. Kudos to you, sir.
Okay, so it turns out this is a wooded carved sculpture. Made with a single
tree trunk, it has been recognized as the worlds longest wood carving by
the Guinness Book of World Records.
Now THATS a masterpiece!

The sculpture contains over 550 individually carved people. Not to mention
all the buildings and foliage.

British Airways has been no stranger to controversy over the past

few months. From reports of passengers facing bedbugs and urine-soaked seats
to an evacuated plane and IT glitch, the airline has struggled to regain favor with
some of its customers. It appears a new boarding policy won't help.
The airline announced on Monday that it will begin to board passengers ac-
cording to the price of their ticket, with the highest-paying customers boarding
first and the lowest-paying boarding last. While this price-based boarding system
is common among U.S. airlines, it has yet to gain traction in Europe. Critics ac-
cused British Airways of promoting a class-based system of customer service,
with the wealthiest customers getting preferential treatment."
