Today's riddle: Why did the man leave his watch in the bank? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Settlement brings much-needed egg donation to Yuma and La Paz Families (azfamily.com) — Yuma families facing high grocery prices can now pick up free eggs at the Yuma Community Food Bank, thanks to a major price‑fixing settlement with national egg producers. Nearly 200,000 eggs have already arrived, with more expected as part of a 53‑million‑egg statewide donation that will keep supplying Yuma and La Paz County households and partner agencies.
2. 2026 prep football team previews: Kofa Kings (kyma.com) — Kofa High's football team in Yuma is gearing up for the 2026 season under second-year head coach Austin Browning, aiming to build on last year's 4–6 record. With 27 seniors, strong team chemistry, and a gritty, blue‑collar mindset, players say they're targeting a region title and a rare playoff berth.
3. New Semester, New Faces: AWC Students Kick Off the School Year (kawc.org) — Arizona Western College students, many from right here in Yuma, are kicking off a new semester with fresh IDs, parking passes, and plenty of first‑day nerves. Local students like Gabriel Salazar chose AWC to stay close to family and scholarships, while campus leaders and volunteers worked to welcome more than 4,500 Matadors back to class.
4. How Yuma became an agricultural powerhouse (kyma.com) — Yuma's fields are doing far more than greening the desert—they're powering one of the nation's top winter vegetable hubs and supporting about one in six local jobs. The story walks through how crops shifted, why water‑smart rotations matter, and how local farms keep produce moving from Yuma to tables nationwide.
