Here are the top stories in Oceanside-Camp Pendleton today:

1. Canine Companions training facility in Oceanside is turning man's best friend into man's professional assistant. Canine Companions recently recognized some of its special dogs during National Service Dog Month. The nonprofit provides service dogs to adults, children and veterans with more than 65 different types of disabilities and facility dogs to professionals working in health care, criminal justice and educational settings at no cost to clients. To learn more about Canine Companions and National Service Dog Month, visit canine.org/service-dogs/service-dog-month. (The San Diego Union-Tribune)
2. The North County Transit District has donated a Coaster F40 locomotive and shipped it to a railroad museum in Campo. Plans for the donation of the 282,000-pound train engine to the Pacific Southwest Railway Museum Association in the southeastern San Diego County community began nearly five years ago and is intended to preserve some of the history of locomotion in the region. "The F40 locomotives are an important part of the history of both the Coaster and the San Diego region," said Graham Blackwell, chief rail operations officer for NCTD. "Operating from the start of the service in 1995, the F40s moved millions of passengers in their 25-plus years in operation along the beautiful coastal network, connecting North County to San Diego." (Coast News)
3. Another heat wave is on its way throughout our region. After a brief bout of cool weather, triple-digit temperatures are returning on the heels of the record-smashing swelter that withered our area at the start of September. Temperatures will begin rising in the Oceanside area all weekend and last through Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service. In San Diego County, forecasters said the heat will peak Monday and Tuesday. Inland Empire temperatures are expected to get above 100 degrees and inland Orange County and San Diego could reach the mid-to upper 90s. (Patch)
4. San Diego County Crime Log: A look at some of this week's police, fire and courtroom stories from across the county. Sheila Camarena, 26, who is considered armed and dangerous, is wanted in connection with the death of 33-year-old Mychael Farve. A Vista man pleaded guilty to taking more than $300,000 in unemployment benefits intended for those who'd lost work during the pandemic. Transchem Inc. of Carlsbad has agreed to pay a nearly $150,000 civil penalty for violations of the Toxic Substances Control Act. A driver pleads guilty to intentionally injuring three people before crashing into a roadside tree and the front of an Encinitas bar, authorities said. (Patch)
5. The 3rd Marine Division commemorated its 80th Anniversary during a battle colors rededication ceremony at Camp Hansen, Okinawa on Sept. 14, 2022. "The Fighting Third," was activated at Camp Elliot in San Diego on Sept. 16, 1942. "We are honored to recognize and celebrate the anniversary of 3rd Marine Division and the service and sacrifice of the Marines and Sailors who have stood in these ranks and – war by war, battle by battle, and day by day – built the great legacy of fidelity, honor, and valor that we stand on today," said Maj. Gen. Jay Bargeron, the 3rd Marine Division Commanding General, as he addressed an audience featuring hundreds of U.S. Marines and Sailors along with multiple senior leaders from the Japan Self-Defense Force.
