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

  1. Temperatures are rising fast this week throughout Oceanside and San Diego County. The National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory for the county's coastal areas and valleys.
    The heat advisory is in effect from 11 a.m. Wednesday until 6 p.m. Friday for San Diego County Coastal Areas. The hottest temps are expected on Thursday and Friday. (Oceanside-Camp Pendleton Patch)
  2. The father of a Camp Pendleton Marine veteran jailed in Russia says he's been sent back to a prison hospital and fears what the war in Ukraine could mean for his son. "You think about it every waking hour, nightmares in the middle of the night," said Joey Reed. After more than two and a half years of fighting for his son's release, Reed fears time is running out. His son Trevor Reed, 30, a Pendleton Marine veteran who served for five years, remains jailed in Russia. (ABC 10 News San Diego KGTV)
  3. The question of how to preserve farmland in Oceanside's South Morro Hills while accommodating future housing and job growth remains a hot-button issue among residents who don't want to lose the city's unique agricultural land to development. As land and farming profits continue to evaporate, rapidly increasing housing demand, labor costs and water prices are creating significant pressure to develop portions of South Morro Hills. After several years of public outreach as part of the General Plan Update, the city held a workshop on March 16 to brainstorm strategies for agricultural preservation, clustered housing and agritourism in South Morro Hills. (Coast News)
  4. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has confirmed that Monday, April 11 is the target date to begin mobilizing for the annual dredge of the Oceanside Harbor inlet. According to the City of Oceanside, the entire dredge cycle is anticipated to last 6 to 8 weeks, with a completion date no later than Memorial Day weekend. The average amount of sand dredged from the inlet and placed onto Oceanside beaches is between 200,000 and 250,000 cubic yards. (Dredging Today)
  5. Family members are still fighting the shock and sorrow of thinking they buried their son, Frankie Kerrigan, nearly five years ago. This week, the Wildomar family is in court, seeking unspecified damages in a lawsuit against the Orange County coroner's office, alleging that the department intentionally misidentified another man's body as that of Kerrigan and citing a litany of errors.

From our sponsor:

Where should you invest as an Oceanside-Camp Pendleton resident with a $149,000 nest egg? Thanks to a change in the legal code, there's a new investment Oceanside-Camp Pendleton residents need to know about. In fact, Bloomberg asked experts where they'd invest $100,000 right now and many of them chose it.

This may surprise you, but it's fine art.

Growing your nest egg with art isn't new. Wealthy families like the Rockefellers have done it for centuries.

Here's why:

  • Low correlation to stocks according to Citi
  • Contemporary art historically returns 23.2% when inflation is >3%
  • Contemporary art prices outpaced the S&P 500 by 164% (1995-2021)

Translation: Art could be one of the best investments for uncertain times.

Luckily for you, we found Masterworks. This revolutionary platform lets you invest in art by Warhol, Monet, Picasso without spending millions.

The best part? Anyone from your area can skip their waitlist*.
