📰 News we're reading

• Miranda's Rescue, investigation nearly complete, is back in operation (times-standard.com) — Fortuna residents should know their police department has confirmed it will not reinstate an animal-control contract with Miranda's Rescue, even as the shelter resumes taking in dogs. County officials say the facility is back under its old permit but faces new compliance deadlines, while the sheriff's criminal investigation into alleged animal mistreatment nears completion.
   

• Mistakes prove costly, but young Panthers continue to impress against Fortuna (humboldtsports.com) — Fortuna High's football team spoiled McKinleyville's unbeaten start with a 40-27 road win, reinforcing Fortuna's reputation as a perennial North Coast Section contender. Despite the loss, McKinleyville's young offense put up big passing numbers and showed it can compete with one of the H-DNL's most consistent programs.
