1. Roseville roadway reopens after bomb squad responds to traffic stop; 2 arrested (kcra.com) — A Roseville roadway near Ivy Street and Atkinson Street has reopened after police halted traffic Monday night when officers spotted a suspected improvised explosive device during a DUI traffic stop. The bomb squad secured the scene, seized the item for investigation, and two men were arrested on suspicion of impaired driving, drug sales, and outstanding warrants, restoring normal travel for nearby residents. 
2. Hikers Blame Gemini for Getting Them Lost on a Mountain (extremetech.com) — Three hikers from Roseville had to be rescued on Mount Shasta after relying on Google's Gemini for trip planning, which allegedly underestimated the climb and led them to pack too little food and water. They became lost, one was injured, and Forest Service rangers found them the next morning, prompting local and federal officials to warn residents against depending on AI for backcountry safety advice.
3. DJ Vlad's Mother on How She Got Scammed for $200K, CIA Agent Charles Finfrock Explains What Happened (vladtv.com) — An elderly woman describes how scammers posing as federal agents convinced her to move $200,000 into gold coins purchased at a Roseville coin shop, then hand them off in a nearby parking lot. A former CIA officer walks through the tactics used, while DJ Vlad discusses the FBI report, potential leads, and how families can better protect older relatives from similar fraud schemes.
4. Tax increase or tax cut? What California's Prop. 3 may mean for education funding (sacbee.com) — Roseville families are watching closely as statewide Proposition 3 could reshape long‑term school funding, including for campuses like Winding Creek Elementary. The measure would make permanent a higher income tax on California's top earners, with supporters arguing it stabilizes education budgets and opponents warning it breaks a promise that the tax would be temporary and may drive high‑income residents away.
