Today's riddle: Why do Norway's navy ships all have barcodes? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. State to repair beach erosion at Carlsbad's Tamarack Avenue parking lot (sandiegouniontribune.com) — If you rely on Tamarack's beach parking lot or drive Carlsbad Boulevard, expect major changes as the state and city rush to repair severe erosion. Engineers are planning fixes at the closed Tamarack lot while Carlsbad extends bluff-protecting boulders near Palomar Airport Road and looks to lagoon dredging and regional sand projects to keep local beaches from shrinking further.
2. Extreme heat warning continues along San Diego coast this week (fox5sandiego.com) — Carlsbad is under an extreme heat warning through Thursday evening, with daytime highs reaching the upper 80s to around 100 degrees and unusually warm nights in the upper 60s to mid-70s. County officials urge residents—especially seniors, kids, outdoor workers, and those without AC—to use Cool Zones, stay hydrated, avoid midday sun, and watch closely for heat illness symptoms.
3. Carlsbad's Acosta takes helm of League of California Cities (thecoastnews.com) — Carlsbad residents now have one of their own, Councilmember Teresa Acosta, leading the League of California Cities, giving the city a stronger voice with state and federal leaders. Acosta says her collaborative approach and experience on Carlsbad's legislative subcommittee will guide her push for more local control and practical solutions on issues affecting cities statewide.
4. Vista's young football team leans on brotherhood in search of first win (thecoastnews.com) — North County high school football fans can see how Carlsbad fared, with the Lancers topping Torrey Pines 30-7 in a broader scoreboard that also tracks Vista's ongoing struggles. Vista's young, injury-hit squad is still searching for its first win but leaning on team chemistry and standout performances to build confidence for the rest of the season.
