This event is only the beginning of an ongoing effort to promote creation of an Oceanside Dog Beach.
Note: Dogs must be on leash (no longer than 6 feet) for this event, and please make sure you bring enough poop bags for your dogs and extras for those who might forget. We want to demonstrate how CLEAN and WELL BEHAVED our dogs are!

North County Times By CRAIG TENBROECK – Staff Writer | ∞
Plans to build a concrete plant near Loma Alta Creek appear to have been scrapped, nearly a year after the Oceanside City Council approved the project over the objections of neighborhood and environmental groups.
Activist Nadine Scott said late Wednesday that The Friends of Loma Alta Creek, a group she co-founded, recently settled the environmental lawsuit it filed against the concrete plant developer, Robertson’s Ready Mix of Corona.

Congratulations to The Friends of Loma Alta Creek and Fire Mountain residents!
A hectic 2008 has come to a close and we’re off and running in 2009! The elections added some excitement to 2008, but here in Oceanside, the voters declaired our representatives should remain status quo. We at Friends of Fire Mountain hope to work together with all of our city counsel members and Mayor Wood to improve our quality of life here in Oceanside. And we hope they will work together to make Oceanside the best it can be.
Our friends at Fire Mountain Garden Exchange have the first news of the year for us regarding increases in our water bills and water cut backs, check it out below
– Thanks guys!
Just to close out the old year, my ‘official’ Fire Mountain rain gauge registered 2.8” of rain for December; this is at the top of the hill between Yucca and Bailey. The way some of the cells came through, there could be substantial variation 3 blocks away! That rain was really welcome. Unfortunately, most of us also received a letter from our City Water Dept., telling us that there will be substantial rate increases and potential water cutbacks. No mention of a moratorium on building permits and water meters. In other words, we have to cut back AND pay more just so there can be more new houses. Whatever your opinion, we encourage you to write a letter to the Water Dept (waterstaff@ci.oceanside.ca.us) and the City Council:
There will be a public discussion at the council meeting on February 4th. For your oral comments to be officially received you must first submit a letter to the City Clerk (can be done in Chambers). For your written comments to be accepted they must be received by the City Clerk prior to the end of the meeting. Make your voice heard; it’s our money and our water.
Yep, I said rad. Some of our Fire Mountain locals helped plan the new MLK skatepark (as well as the two others going in at a later date) and we are psyched to have a new spot for the young-uns (and old dudes) to shred.
Oceanside is starting to plan for the future of our young people and we all appreciate that. Let’s keep it rolling!
