• APD Welcomes Adorable New K9 Officers (alamedapost.com) — Alameda residents are getting two new four-legged members of the police department, as K9 Davey and K9 Sadie join APD's existing K9 Ace to help protect the community. For the next month they'll be bonding with handlers and exploring the city, and neighbors are already clamoring for a chance to meet the pups around town.
• AUSD Notes: Alameda, Encinal High football teams to play in Island Bowl (eastbaytimes.com) — Alameda families are gearing up for Friday's Island Bowl showdown between Alameda High and Encinal Junior & Senior High at the new Encinal Jets Field, with JV at 4:30 p.m. and varsity at 7 p.m. The district outlines online-only ticket sales, limited bleacher and standing room, parking options on the West End, and strict bag and item rules to keep the event safe and neighbor-friendly.
• California officials urge voters to circumvent USPS as Trump's war on mail voting escalates (sfchronicle.com) — With a ballot drop box already stationed outside Alameda City Hall, California election officials are urging voters to rely on secure drop boxes instead of the Postal Service as Trump's mail-voting restrictions wind through the courts. They cite rising ballot rejections tied to postmark delays and say dropping ballots early at official boxes is the safest way to ensure they're counted.
