CRIME NEWS
- ➤ Spokane is facing a domestic violence crisis as local organizations experienced a $500,000 funding cut that forced the YWCA to reduce vital services amid rising help requests — with one in three women and one in 10 men reported victims and the helpline expected to receive 6,000 calls this year.

GOVERNMENT NEWS
- ➤ I-90 remains closed for bridge repairs as crews work to improve roadway safety—motorists should use alternate routes and expect delays. KXLY
- ➤ The Washington State Department of Health received federal funding to keep the WIC program running through mid-to-late November, which supports food benefits for low-income families — state officials warned funds might run out if voucher use increases. The USDA supplied the money to maintain the program and its reduced 11-member team. KXLY
- ➤ This November, Spokane voters will decide whether to approve a levy that will send funds to upgrade parks as part of the Together Spokane plan. Minnehaha Park may receive improvements — including a new playground, sports courts, and community areas — that local residents say will make visits safer and more fun. KXLY
SPORTS NEWS
- ➤ Washington State Cougars have not yet recorded an interception in seven games, making them one of only two teams nationwide without a pick. The team will try to change this trend when they face Toledo and Oregon State in upcoming games. The Spokesman-Review
- ➤ WCC coaches have picked Oregon State to win the regular season while selecting Gonzaga to finish second, with Oregon State receiving nine first‐place votes and Gonzaga getting three. This is Gonzaga’s final season in the WCC before joining the Pac-12 next season — junior Zeryhia Aokuso and sophomore Allie Turner were named to the pre-season team. KXLY
- ➤ Gonzaga forward Graham Ike changed his jersey to No. 15 to honor his grandfather Tom, who lived 15 months beyond a 30-day cancer forecast (a tribute that shows his deep family roots). Ike said his grandfather’s caring spirit guides him on and off the court as he enters his final season. The Spokesman-Review
- ➤ Local MMA fighter Michael Cyr (8-1) will fight Saturday at 7 p.m. in Phoenix—if he wins against bantamweight Kasey Tanner at LFA 220, he could earn a UFC contract and join Warrior Camp's roster of fighters. Cyr plans to use his submission skills and relentless pressure to secure the win in a high-stakes main event. The Spokesman-Review
- ➤ Eligibility for Tyon Grant-Foster to play for Gonzaga's men's basketball team has moved to federal court after the NCAA denied his waiver due to his heart condition and past challenges. He must secure a scholarship by October 28 as his case awaits a hearing. KHQ
