Up and at 'em, Oceanside-Camp Pendleton! Let's get you all caught up to start this Tuesday, January 18 off on an informed note. Here's everything going on around town today.

First, today's weather:

Rather cloudy. High: 63 Low: 48.

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

  1. The City of Oceanside is holding the second Community Outreach meeting to get public feedback on the process of redistricting the City Council's four districts this Wednesday at 6 pm in the Oceanside Civic Center Library Community Rooms. The four Oceanside district lines will be redrawn to reflect local population changes shown in the 2020 Census. (Oceanside-Camp Pendleton Patch)
  2. Come meet local authors while enjoying the international eats, gourmet goodies and desserts, eclectic shopping and live entertainment of the Sunset Market at this MainStreet Oceanside special event. The Sunset Market is every Thursday from 5-9 p.m on Pier View Way west of Coast Highway in Downtown Oceanside. (Oceanside-Camp Pendleton Patch)
  3. An Oceanside charter company has been fined for taking patrons fishing within a Marine Protected Area near Encinitas, state officials announced. The boat is owned by Helgren's Sportfishing, based out of Oceanside Harbor. The company owner Joseph Helgren, pleaded guilty to a violation of Fish and Game Code, resulting in a fine of $5,000 and an order to stay out of the Swami's conservation area for one year. (Times of San Diego)
  4. An Oceanside woman celebrated her 104th birthday party with 104 cards that Aegis Living Shadowridge received from posting a request on TikTok. (Coast News)
  5. A surge in catalytic converter thefts has been sweeping through San Diego County in recent months. Catalytic converters are a target for thieves for the precious metals contained within: platinum, rhodium and palladium. (inewsource)

Doing a "Dry January" or just looking for a flavorful alternative to regular cocktails? Here's a suggestion: try a non-alcoholic drink from our partners at Betera. Created by an award-winning chef from natural botanicals, Betera's drinks come in 3 flavors — Ginger-Orange, Elderflower-Lime and Rhubarb-Hibiscus. We tried Ginger-Orange, and it was excellent — lightly effervescent, floral with a hint of bitterness and the sippability of a cocktail.

Betera is offering readers of the Daily a 15% discount on their first order: use PATCH15 at checkout. Highly recommended — you can try Betera here.
