News Roundup: Religion, Sports, Local, Gaza

A later update replaces the local feature with a multi-topic news roundup. It opens with a Sunday reflection invoking Jesus’ mustard‑seed parable and Habakkuk’s lament to urge patience, humility and perseverance when justice seems delayed. Sports Business Journal previews fall coverage from Washington, highlighting tensions between WNBA players and leadership, an ongoing MLB debate over a salary cap (and accompanying calls for a salary floor), and continued shifts in college‑sports investment. Local reporting includes a Spokane opinion endorsing Kate Telis for City Council District 2 and promoting the Together Spokane bond to fund more than 200 community and school projects, while the Dayton Daily News warns that the federal government shutdown’s local impacts, plus property‑tax and inflation pressures, could threaten November levies. CBS News summarizes breaking developments in Gaza—reporting that Hamas says it agrees to parts of former President Trump’s proposed peace plan—and also carries cultural coverage including Jason Isbell’s new album.
