Good morning, Oceanside.

Henry Ocampo, an Oceanside father, is revitalizing the Mesa Margarita neighborhood with a lowrider bike project that lets neighbors rent custom bikes to support local programs—this effort aims to overcome a troubled past.

He built personalized bikes for his family and partnered with a local non-profit to share his passion with the community.

TERI Campus of Life named Jamie Cali as its new Chief Development Officer to lead its capital campaign and build long-term donor relationships.

A native San Diegan from Encinitas with over a decade of experience, she will strengthen support for programs that enhance life for individuals with special needs — uniting funding with a vision for inclusive growth.

On July 1, gas prices increased in California as new policies took effect—fuel now costs more due to a 1.6 cent per gallon tax boost and new low-carbon fuel standards.

Some state officials said prices would rise by about 5 to 8 cents, while drivers expressed concern about further increases.

Supervisor Jim Desmond said his bill to expand emergency housing for homeless veterans passed unanimously at this week’s meeting.

He also voted no on extra studies for Tijuana sewage—he passed a balanced budget that funds fire services, affordable housing, mental health care and road repairs in North County.

The City of Oceanside will dedicate a segment of the San Luis Rey River Trail from Pacific Street to Benet Road in memory of Jensen Taylor Hughes, a local resident who lost her life in a cycling accident — memorial markers have been placed and a dedication ceremony is set for 3:30 p.m. on July 18 — to honor her lasting legacy.

Starting July 1, bars and nightclubs must provide drink lids—an effort to help prevent drink spiking—and post signs that lids and test kits are available.
