• Secret codes and sheet music: Professor's book a Cold War thriller (dailygazette.com) — Carlsbad resident and Cal State San Marcos music professor Merryl Goldberg is sharing her remarkable Cold War past in a new book, "Notes of Deception." She recounts how, as a young saxophonist, she secretly encoded information into sheet music while meeting Soviet refuseniks, outwitting the KGB and helping bring their stories to the world through music and advocacy.
• Three Central Section football games that delivered in Week 1 (sjvsun.com) — Carlsbad gets a brief spotlight as Clovis West traveled here and beat La Costa Canyon 44–28, one of many standout Central Section football games in Week 1. The roundup highlights dramatic comebacks, overtime finishes, and dominant wins across the region. Local fans can see how their coastal matchup stacked up against big performances statewide.
• Two arrested in connection with countywide bank theft, fraud (sandiegocountynews.com) — Carlsbad police are among several San Diego County agencies tying a series of bank card-switching scams to two men recently arrested after repeated incidents at Wells Fargo ATMs. Investigators say victims, including elderly residents, were distracted while their debit cards were secretly swapped, leading to thousands in losses. Authorities urge residents countywide to guard PINs, watch for distractions, and monitor accounts closely.
