📰 News we're reading
• Wood River following path that brought state glory in 2025 (idahostatesman.com) — High school soccer fans in Twin Falls just saw Wood River shut out Canyon Ridge at Canyon Ridge High School, echoing the form that carried the Wolverines to a 5A state title in 2025. The story highlights new defensive leaders, key seniors stepping into scoring and leadership roles, and the team's push to build a lasting state-tournament culture. 
• Federal grant expands Access Yes hunting program (kmvt.com) — Idaho Fish and Game's Magic Valley office in Twin Falls is getting a share of a $1.65 million federal grant to expand the Access Yes program, opening more private land to public hunting and fishing. The funding will boost payments to local landowners, improve access features like gates and cattle guards, and support habitat projects. Interested landowners can contact the regional office to apply year-round.
• Northwest drought strains water utilities, farms, and wildfire response (wheninyourstate.com) — Southern Idaho's exceptional drought is hitting Twin Falls County hard, with irrigation cuts already squeezing local farms and threatening more crop losses after harvest. The story explains how record warmth, low reservoirs, and weak snowpack across Oregon, Idaho, and Washington are combining to strain water supplies, increase wildfire risk, and leave the region with little carryover storage heading into the next water year.
