Attention, Huntington: The IRS may have your cash

held briefsDoes anyone know where Esli Albarran lives?

Or how about Michael and Julie Textor?

Uncle Sam has some money for you.

The Internal Revenue Service recently released its list of Huntington Beach residents who haven’t received their tax refunds.

Maybe Chad Ata’s check got returned to the IRS, or perhaps Leif Erickson wrote the wrong address on his tax return.

Whatever the case may be, the IRS has more than over $51,000 for Huntington Beach residents, including Justin Dunbar, George Skandalos and Rene Zepeda.

In total, about 72 Surf City taxpayers are owed an average of $713 each, IRS spokesman Raphael Tulino said.

Nationwide, about $73 million in refund checks went undelivered, including about $4 million for Southern California.

Tulino said residents like Bryan Sullivan and Julio Ortiz can ensure the IRS has their correct address by filing Change of Address Form 8822.

The form can be downloaded at IRS.gov or by calling (800) 829-1040.

Peter Green Park is now ready to play

After months of anticipation, Peter Green Park was officially opened on Oct. 22. The park is named in honor of a former mayor.

Children climbed on the playground equipment as a dedication ceremony was held, officially opening the small green space on Promenade Parkway and Seagate Drive in Huntington Beach.

Peter Green is a World War II Navy veteran of the South Pacific and has dedicated much of his adult life to civil service. He is a founding member and past president of both the Amigos de Bolsa Chica and the Bolsa Chica Conservancy and served for 16 years on the City Council. He was appointed mayor twice.

He retired from City Council in 2002, the same year his wife, Cathy Green, was elected to council. She was appointed mayor in 2004 and is currently serving on the council.

Several members of Green’s family participated in the ceremony. Cathy Green’s father, Right Rev. Thomas Clary, gave the invocation and blessing for the park, and Mayor Jill Hardy spoke of Peter Green’s commitment to the city. After Peter Green gave his reflections on his years of service and the special meaning that this park holds for him, the ribbon was cut and Peter Green Park was officially open.

The park includes a large playground area, tennis courts, lawns and a covered picnic area. It serves the Holly-Seacliff neighborhoods.
