A sudden call came into Jimmy Gilleece’s cafe this past March. A newly married woman who had spent the afternoon at the dive beach cafe couldn’t find her wallet. She didn’t care about her ID card, credit cards, or $150 in cash---but her wedding ring was placed exactly inside.
Gilleece, 42, didn’t like the idea that someone lost things at his place, so he set out to find the wallet. He spent hours looking at footage(录像) from 16 different surveillance cameras(监控摄像机), watching the woman’s every move in the cafe until she went to sit on a chair outside and left when her ride arrived. Within minutes, a young man in a black jacket came close and put something in his pocket, and walked off. Gilleece posted the video on the cafe’s Facebook page.
Within hours, Gilleece got a text from 17-year-old River Prather. Prather said he took the wallet because he hadn’t eaten in two days. He also told that he just took the money but threw the wallet with the ring off into the sea. Then he bought himself a sandwich. Gilleece doubted if Prather told the truth, so they met at the sea. Prather was just a teen running away from his family after a big fight with his parents, and he had been staying around for a week. But the woman had started a case against the thief because of the missing ring, and he would probably be put in prison. Gilleece decided to help the boy by finding two local divers to help. The two divers tried hard but both came up with empty hands. Gilleece grew worried, each passing minute means more chances for the police to take the boy away. And finally, a diver popped up with the wallet in hand. Everybody cheered in delight. When Gilleece called the owner, she burst into tears and dropped the case against Prather for stealing.
“Most people would have given the footage to police, and he chose to help me,” Prather said. “I say thank you to him every day.”

A group of high school students from the United States has planted hope by cleaning up an empty lot(一块地) in their neighborhood.
The students are from Buchtel High School in Akron, Ohio. The empty lot, which is owned by a 1ocal bank, was filled with grass and poison ivy(毒葛). As a project for the school’s biohealth(生物健康) class, eight students decided to turn the empty lot into a space that will improve the mental(心里的) and emotional(情感的) health of people who live near it.
They first came up with a design, did research and created 3D models of their plans. Ideas were then presented and the school leaders picked the winning plans. Finally, the students brought those plans to life.
Now when you walk into the lot, you can see a wood walkway leading to a purple iron bench. A few beautiful plants are already in the ground. There is also a hopscotch(跳房子游戏) board that is painted bright blue. A wall painting with the words “Love” and “Peace” has taken shape on a back fence, decorated with the students’ handprints. The rest of the fence was painted grey to cover plain wood.
The students said they painted the bench purple because they found that purple has a comforting feeling for people. They thought kids could go there and sit together, communicate with each other in peac and stay out of trouble.
As for the hopscotch board, it was set up for a group of eight to ten school-age kids who lived in the neighborhood but had nowhere to play.
It gives the neighborhood a little hope and a little beauty, “said Lyle Jenkins, a member of the Neighborhood Network.” A lot of people love the neighborhood and have great hopes for things getting better.
Lots of love and hope planted by students | |
