Giving thanks and Thanksgiving at base
Cody Hill, a 12 year old Capistrano Beach Boy Scout, and dozens of volunteers handed out meals to 800 service members at the north end of the San Onofre base, coordinating through San Clemente Military Family Outreach. The drive, funded by donations and a fall fundraiser, cost about 25000 dollars and aimed to ease the Thanksgiving burden for enlisted Marines and sailors and their families.

Curb Extensions Slow Traffic at Busy North Beach Intersection
In San Clemente two landscaped curb extensions at Avenida Pico and Boca de la Playa cost 293000 to build. The design narrows the street from 70 feet to 24 feet, creating a bottleneck to calm vehicles near Elle's Table, the Ole Hanson Beach Club, and nearby homes. Residents note fewer near misses as construction progresses.
