📰 News we're reading
• Jurupa Valley's Patriot High has become an unlikely hotbed for flag football (newsbreak.com) — Patriot High School’s girls flag football team in Jurupa Valley has quickly grown into a three-time River Valley League champion and just earned its first-ever CIF playoff win. The story highlights the program’s rapid rise, the community’s demographics, and retiring coach Giselle Kendall’s personal journey, underscoring how sports are giving Jurupa Valley students new opportunities despite limited resources. 
• RivCo Board to Consider Cost-Sharing Agreement Stemming from `Bain Fire' (mynewsla.com) — Riverside County supervisors are set to approve a cost-sharing deal for expenses from last spring’s Bain Fire, which burned from Jurupa Valley into Riverside and damaged the Hidden Valley Wildlife Area. Because Jurupa Valley contracts with the county for fire protection, the agreement will determine how much of the firefighting and cleanup bill is tied to the city and how future responsibilities are handled.
• Neighbor of the Week: Carol McDoniel (raincrossgazette.com) — Riverside preservation advocate Carol McDoniel also spends her time caring for cats and kittens at the Riverside County Animal Services Jurupa Valley shelter on Van Buren, encouraging locals to adopt there. She shares why preserving historic places matters, invites residents to get involved in cultural heritage work, and urges anyone seeking a pet to choose this nearby, affordable shelter.
