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

1. The city of Oceanside is preparing to open its first year-round homeless shelter to address the homeless crisis in Oceanside and to mitigate community impacts. A property was purchased, construction costs were approved, and an operating agreement was signed with the San Diego Rescue Mission for the "Oceanside Navigation Center" at the centrally-located 3131 Oceanside Boulevard property. Property improvements are underway; internal demolition is nearly complete and site furnishings have begun to arrive. (Oceanside-Camp Pendleton Patch)
2. A motorcycle collided with an empty horse trailer being hauled by a pickup truck in Oceanside Wednesday, leaving the motorcyclist dead. The 20-year-old man was riding a Suzuki motorcycle in a middle lane on Interstate 5 near Las Pulgas Road at 12:39 a.m. Wednesday when, for unknown reasons, he crashed into the trailer hauled by a Ford pickup driven by a 29-year-old man, according to the California Highway Patrol. The motorcyclist was pronounced dead at the scene. The pickup driver was uninjured, the CHP reported. (Patch)
3. Hot Wheels Skate™ will host Demo Days at the Walmart Supercenter (2100 Vista Way) in Oceanside on August 20. The free, family-friendly event will be held from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. On-site attractions include skate clinics, photo opportunities, product giveaways, fingerboarding demos and autograph sessions with Nitro Circus pros such as Noah Lora, Nick Hall and Beaver Fleming.

The average price of a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline in San Diego County dropped Wednesday for the 62nd time in 63 days since rising to a record, decreasing 1.3 cents to $5.327, its lowest amount since March 6.
