1. Record Labor Day Gas Prices Projected: What Dublin Motorists Should Know (patch.com subscription) — Dublin drivers heading out for Labor Day road trips will face some of the highest gas prices ever, with the cheapest local regular gas already around $5.23 per gallon.

2. Young Gaels Girls Volleyball Team Has Fast Start (independentnews.com) — Dublin High's young girls volleyball team has opened the season 3-0 despite having no seniors, powered by strong serving and team chemistry. Coach and Dublin High alum Sarah Sepulveda is giving the full roster playing time, with key contributions from several freshmen and sophomores. The Gaels host Livermore tonight and San Ramon Valley on Sept. 8 at 6:15 p.m.
3. Dublin Teen's Nonprofit Builds Confidence in Neurodivergent Youth (independentnews.com) — Emerald High School senior and Dublin resident Nithya Ravuri has grown her student-led nonprofit SEVAH Neuro into a global network supporting neurodivergent children and families. After experiences at a local pediatric clinic, she built programs like a free virtual fellowship and international school partnerships, and is now organizing a Bay Area drive to assemble customized sensory kits with supportive notes for children with neurological disorders.
4. An event destination: Visit Tri-Valley pushes bold vision to transform region – but not everybody is all-in on the $365M project (pleasantonweekly.com) — A $364.5 million multi-use event center is proposed for a county-owned site at Martinelli Way and Arnold Road in Dublin, with flexible seating for up to 5,000 and major sports and entertainment events. Funding ideas include tax increment financing and a new business tourism district that would tap future Dublin property and sales tax growth, prompting cautious questions from city and regional leaders.
5. 'Dedication, service and sacrifice': Pleasanton church recognizes first-responders (pleasantonweekly.com) — Tri-Valley first-responders, including a Dublin Police captain, were honored at Lighthouse Baptist Church's First Responder Appreciation Sunday in Pleasanton.
