Big shout-out to everyone who rolled through College Park on Saturday for the City of Oxnard's "Prep in the Park" — a free, family-friendly afternoon that made getting ready for the worst feel a whole lot less overwhelming. Between the hands-on activities, live demos, and free gear to take home, neighbors walked away with real tools, not just pamphlets.
With El Niño storms on the horizon and wildfire season never really leaving us alone here in the 805, this kind of prep matters. Whether you're in Oxnard, Camarillo, or down in Ventura, a little planning goes a long way when the power's out and the roads are flooded.
Props to the organizers and to Vida Newspaper for spotlighting it. If you missed it, don't wait for the next big one — start building that emergency kit now. Your future self will thank you.

OxnardFatal Traffic Crash Involving a Pedestrian
Waking up to news like this never gets easier. Oxnard police and EMS were called out early Monday morning, September 28, to Victoria Avenue near Gum Tree Street, where a 64-year-old man was found in the southbound lanes just south of the Santa Clara River bridge. Our thoughts go out to his family and to everyone who responded in those dark early hours. Victoria is one of those roads many of us drive daily, often before sunrise or after dark, and it's a reminder of how quickly things can change. As Vida Newspaper reported, the crash happened around 2:03 a.m. If you travel that stretch, please slow down and stay alert, especially in low light. If you have any information that could help investigators, reach out to the Oxnard Police Department. Let's look out for one another out there.
OxnardOxnard Fire Chief Alexander Hamilton Announces Retirement; Battalion Chief John Albin Appointed Next Fire Chief
Big news out of the Oxnard Fire Department this week — Chief Alexander Hamilton has announced he'll retire on November 19, 2026, wrapping up 21 years of service to our city. That's more than two decades of showing up for Oxnard on its hardest days, and it's worth pausing to appreciate. As Vida Newspaper reports, City Manager Alexander Nguyen has tapped Battalion Chief John Albin to take the helm, keeping the transition in-house with someone who already knows the department and this community from the inside. Leadership changes at the fire department aren't just internal housekeeping — they shape how quickly crews respond, how the department grows with our neighborhoods, and how safe Oxnard feels day to day. Handing the badge to a homegrown chief means continuity, and that matters here. Thank you, Chief Hamilton, for 21 years. And welcome to the top job, Chief Albin — Oxnard will be watching, and rooting for you.
OxnardOxnard to change the name of Cesar Chavez Street
Big change for folks who've been calling that stretch of road Cesar Chavez Drive for years — Oxnard's city council voted unanimously on Sept. 15 to rename it Campesina Place. Mayor Luis A. McArthur was absent for the vote, and the resolution sets aside up to $250 to reimburse residents and businesses affected by the switch. The name Campesina — roughly 'farmworker woman' — feels like a nod to the same agricultural roots the old name honored, just from a different angle. For longtime Oxnard families, street names aren't just addresses; they're part of how we give directions, tell stories, and remember who we are. Worth noting: Vida Newspaper reported this, and the details are still developing. If your mail, signage, or business is on that street, keep an eye out for city guidance on the reimbursement process. What do you think of the new name? Let us know.
