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

1. It's opening night for the Oceanside International Film Festival (OIFF), and locals will be mixing with filmmakers at the red carpet reception starting at 5 pm. Tonight's lineup features the world premiere of Krista Liney's documentary, "I Am Alright," "a candid exploration of the challenges facing independent artists through the story of indie rockers The Silent Comedy." The 12th Annual OIFF is showing at the Brooks Theatre in downtown Oceanside, Tuesday through Saturday. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit the Oceanside International Film Festival. (OIFF)
2. Camp Pendleton service members are getting free training in cloud technology through a new partnership between Google and the Department of Labor. The program is part of the DOL's Employment Navigator and Partnership Pilot for military personnel transitioning to civilian life, and will also be available for military spouses and veterans. "The partnership will also provide access to online training programs under Google Career Certificates linked to over 150 employers that need skilled talent in fields ranging from data analytics, digital marketing, e-commerce, to project management, IT support and user experience design." (Executive Biz)
3. Locals oppose plans for a new industrial development being proposed near the Oceanside airport, citing traffic, noise and potential environmental impacts. The Eddie Jones Manufacturing Warehouse Distribution Project includes building a new 566,905-square-foot warehouse and distribution facility on Eddie Jones Way and Benet Road. The warehouse plans would include up to 114 semi-truck terminals and 60 truck-trailer parking stalls. "A developer representative said the project is still under city review and more public meetings will be held for community outreach." (KPBS)
