Huntington Beach Beaches: I hope you and Your Families had a Very Happy Thanksgiving. I'm thankful to know all of You.

Congratulations to The Finston Family of Huntington Beach on their new Daughter Addison Paige Finston. Your neighbors are very happy for you.

I'd like to wish the following people a Happy Birthday. They are: Huntington Beach Chamber Of Commerce President/Chief Executive Officer Jerry Wheeler, Former NBC News Reporter Jennifer Bjorklund, Debra Huse a Balboa Island Artist, Former Huntington Beach Mayor Don MacAllister, Huntington Beach Resident Sharie Yeager and Huntington Beach Volunteer Dick Green.

The Huntington Beach Police Chief Ken Small's Administrative Assistant Karin Reed asked me to Inform you of this Item:
The Huntington Beach Police Department has been awarded a new traffic safety grant for an anti-DUI program aimed at preventing deaths and injuries on our roadways. Additional enforcement measures to combat impaired driving are coming as a result of a recent $107,500.00 grant awarded by the California Office of Traffic Safety to Huntington Beach. The Huntington Beach Police Department is dedicated to keeping our streets safe through both enforcement and education. The special DUI Checkpoint grant is to assist in efforts to reduce the number of persons killed and injured in alcohol and other drug related collisions in the community. The grant activities will specifically target impaired driving offenders as well as educating the public on the dangers of impaired driving through the use of DUI/driver's license checkpoints. When possible, specially trained officers will be available to evaluate those suspected of drug-impaired driving. DUI checkpoints have been an essential part of the phenomenal reduction in DUI deaths that we witnessed from 2006 to 2010 in California,” said Christopher J. Murphy, Director of the Office of Traffic Safety. But since the tragedy of DUI accounts for nearly one third of traffic fatalities, Huntington Beach needs the high visibility enforcement and public awareness that this grant will provide.” Funding for this program is from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

The Huntington Beach Public Works Department Construction Manager Eric Charlonne would like to remind you of this:
