1. Guns, Fishing & Other Stuff closing in Dublin (pleasantonweekly.com) — A longtime Dublin sporting goods store and gun range, Guns, Fishing & Other Stuff on Amador Plaza Road, is closing early this year once remaining inventory sells out. The family-owned shop has been one of the Tri-Valley’s few places to buy firearms, ammunition, and fishing gear, and also hosted an indoor public range with training classes. Future plans for the prominent retail space remain unknown.
   

2. Key Takeaways from City Summit: Strategies for Local Investment (nlc.org) — Dublin is highlighted for partnering with Pleasanton and Livermore to fund a new mental health urgent care center, Access Bridge, using federal Community Project Funding. Local leaders share how they secured $450,000 in startup money and stress building relationships with congressional representatives and neighboring cities. The session also showcases other cities’ creative financing tools that Dublin officials could learn from.
   

3. Speeding Chevrolet Camaro Evades Police After Driver 'Turns Off' License Plate: CHP (roadandtrack.com) — CHP’s Dublin office is asking for tips after a black Chevrolet Camaro reportedly sped over 100 mph on I-580 and escaped when its license plate was somehow “blacked out.” Authorities shared details and a photo on Facebook and hope Tri-Valley drivers who saw the New Year’s Eve pursuit can help identify the car.
   

4. Trump targets funding for child care and hospitals, Bay Area dollars fill gaps (timesheraldonline.com) — Dublin families are feeling federal social services cuts firsthand, with the School of Imagination childcare center relying on Alameda County’s Measure C funds to stay afloat and support staff. Local parents describe how these dollars are keeping vital early education accessible. The story also explains how Bay Area counties increasingly turn to local taxes to replace shrinking federal child care and health care funding.
