🌱 Hauntington Beach Manor + Dead Dolphin + DUI Checkpoint!

Good morning, people of Huntington Beach! It's me again, your host of the Huntington Beach Daily.

Halloween will be fun again in HB! Also, is the oil spill to blame for a marine mammal’s death? There’s going to be a DUI checkpoint!

First, today's weather:

Partly sunny and not as warm. High: 71 Low: 56.

Here are the top stories today in Huntington Beach:

1. The Hauntington Beach Manor is coming back to the Westminster Mall! Head to the lower level of the mall, right next to Macy’s. The theme is “Sanitarium.” (KTLA)
2. Did a dolphin die as a result of the oil spill? The Pacific Marine Mammal Center was called to Cabrillo Beach, where it found a stranded juvenile dolphin. The animal had to be euthanized. Even though a necropsy didn’t find oil, there’s a chance the spill contributed to the animal’s death. (CBS)
3. The HBPD is putting you on notice. There will be a DUI checkpoint on Friday, 10-22. Yes, it wants you to know about it ahead of time. No, the police are not telling you where in HB the checkpoint will be. (@HBPoliceDept)
4. The long-term outlook for the beaches isn’t rosy. While short-term cleanup seems to be moving at a rapid pace, there’s a question about what’s happening to the flora and fauna that cannot move away, such as abalone. “You will have to go through a number of rounds of beach cleanup and every time you have a storm you are going to see those tar balls back up on the beach,” specialists warn. (The Guardian)
5. The next HB Listens event will be on October 28 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. The focus will be “community wellness.” The City’s Human Relations Task Force will conduct the meeting at 7111 Talbert Avenue. (HR Task Force)
