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

  1. The Oceanside Chamber of Commerce hosted a recent Emerging Issues forum that featured an update on the planned Oceanside homeless shelter to be operated by San Diego Rescue Mission. Donny Dee, President and CEO of San Diego Rescue Mission shared his vision and plans for the shelter. (Oceanside-Camp Pendleton Patch)
  2. Trader Joe's recalled one of its fresh prepackaged crunchy salads in California and four other states because there may be hard plastic in the dressing, the supermarket chain announced Thursday. Trader Joe's said online that the manufacturer of its "Crunchy Slaw With Chicken, Crispy Noodles & Peanut Dressing" said that the dressing could contain bits of hard plastic. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Food Safety and Inspection Service also issued a public health alert Thursday. The alert provided images of the affected product's label. (San Diego Patch)
  3. The San Diego County Sheriff's Department Monday released a status report on improvements to its jail system, six weeks after a state review sharply censured the agency over its record of unusually frequent inmate deaths. The California State Auditor's analysis of in-custody fatalities at San Diego County jails, released Feb. 3, considered the Sheriff's Department's record over a recent 15-year period and its related protocols, including prevention measures. The review concluded that the regional law enforcement agency had "failed to adequately prevent and respond to" the problem and called for legislative action to solve it. (City News Service)
  4. For a Ukrainian family in Huntington Beach, cell phone alerts bring a wave of anxiety and agony, according to a report from the Los Angeles Times. Ganna Hovey has an app on her phone notifying her whenever her hometown of Kharkiv, Ukraine gets bombed by Russian rockets. While she and her 7-year-old son are safe 6,000 miles away from the fighting, Hovey's parents remain in the country under constant danger, the Times reported. (Orange County Patch)
  5. Classes were canceled at Kraemer Middle School in Placentia on Monday after an assistant principal took his own life on campus earlier in the day, school officials said. Moises Plascencia was found in a "private staff area, and fellow staff members and students were not present, nor was the occurrence witnessed by anyone," Kraemer Principal Michael Young said in a statement. Young did not provide any additional information regarding Plascencia's death. (Orange County Patch)
