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

  1. Green Oceanside is on a mission to protect the natural resources of our area. The range of environmental services and programs offered by the city include energy conservation, water conservation, water pollution prevention, and zero waste. This month Green Oceanside shared tips for making the most of spring, taking advantage of the extra light to help conserve energy and reset with the environment in mind. (Oceanside-Camp Pendleton Patch)
  2. The Del Mar City Council voted 4-1 to pass a resolution effectively opposing Oceanside's groin project. The city joins Carlsbad and Solana Beach in opposing the project. In August 2021, the Oceanside City Council unanimously approved initiating a pilot program to install five 600-foot-long groins, 1,000 feet apart, extending into the ocean at right angles from the rock revetments that border the ocean. However, according to the staff report, the groins have been shown to interfere with the natural flow of sand down the coast specifically the sand transported south by large North Pacific swells during the fall and winter months.

  3. Marine engineers from Camp Pendleton were detonating explosives in the Cleveland National Forest around the time of the Jim fire's ignition Wednesday morning, authorities have confirmed. The fire, which has been burning for two days inside the forest near the Riverside-Orange County line, was 50% contained and holding at 553 acres Friday morning. The official cause of the fire remains under investigation. Cleveland National Forest Service spokesman Nathan Judy acknowledged that crews were in the forest around the time of ignition.

  4. Take a look at some of this week's police, fire and courtroom stories from across San Diego County. San Diego man pleads guilty to role in Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol Siege. A woman was killed by police after stabbing an officer in San Diego. The mother of a Camp Pendleton-based Naval hospital corpsman murder victim has filed suit over alleged killer's gun purchase and more. (Patch)
  5. Oceanside's The Lab Collaborative (TLC) is a multi-concept food and drink destination that opened on Jan. 5 in downtown Oceanside. TLC's six onsite leaders have a combined 119 years of experience in restaurants, bars, coffee shops and hospitality management, so they're pretty confident they've figured out the time-tested recipe for satisfying Oceanside locals. TLC is a restaurant, a bar, a coffeehouse and a food truck located in a new 5,200-square-foot indoor/outdoor space on Cleveland Street. TLC also has a large, glass-walled collaborative kitchen where its owners plan to host visiting chefs for dining events and special menus. (The San Diego Union-Tribune)
