Spain wins Women’s World Cup over England
(AP) Spain won its first Women’s World Cup title less than a year after a player dispute, managing to hold off England 1-0 on Sunday after a first-half goal. The victory made La Roja the first team to hold the under-17, under-20 and senior world titles at the same time. Spain is the fifth winner in nine editions of the Women’s World Cup and joins Germany as the only two nations to win both the men’s and women’s tournaments. At the end of the match, the Spanish players celebrated in front of their goal until the trophy presentations, where they kissed the trophy and raised their arms in victory. The English team was trying to bring a World Cup back to England for the first time since 1966, but fell just short.
Visitors urged to stop posing nude
Sheep Show
Showmanship A large number of participants were on hand for the Sheep Show, which was one of the biggest in recent history. Due to the high level of competition, both the Show and Quality classes resulted in some amazing sheep this year, with Alivia Waldron taking Grand in both Overall Show and Quality, and Aubrey Shulz taking Reserve in both categories. A newly added category, Carcass, used an ultrasound to examine the body composition of the animals and name a winner for ideal form. Asher Brower’s sheep won that award. FFA Class: Grand Champion Alivia Waldron, Reserve Oaklie Hebdon. Senior Class Champion: GC Au-
(LA Times) Hilary is the first tropical storm to hit Southern California in 84 years. The unprecedented storm flooded roads, toppled trees and forced a rescue by bulldozer of more than a dozen older residents trapped by mud in a care home Monday as it moved northward, prompting flood watches and warnings in half a dozen states. The National Hurricane Center in Miami said Hilary had lost much of its steam and only vestiges of the storm were heading over the Rocky Mountains, but it warned that “continued life-threatening and locally catastrophic flooding” was expected over portions of the Southwestern U.S., following record-breaking rainfall. Forecasters said the threat for flooding in states farther north on Monday was high across much of southeastern Oregon and into the west-central mountains of Idaho, with potential thunderstorms and localized torrential rains on Tuesday.
Sawyer Fonnesbeck, Mattie Semrad, and Kelly Sorensen worked long hours in the lead up and during the Fair to make it all happen.

(CNN) A British farm has urged visitors to stop posing naked for photographs in its field of sunflowers. The owners of Stoke Fruit Farm on Hayling Island, off England’s south coast, issued the unusual request on social media, having noticed a growing number of visitors stripping naked to pose for pictures among the blooms. In a post on Facebook earlier this month, the farm wrote: “Reminder to all we are a family area, and please keep your clothes on in the sunflowers! We are having an increase of reports of naked photography taking place, and this must not happen during our public sessions, please!” Sam Wilson and sister Nette Petley run the farm that their grandfather set up. It comprises 350 acres, producing wheat, peas, potatoes, pumpkins, squash, sweetcorn, hay – and sunflowers. Wilson told CNN Friday that there had been about six incidents of people stripping off among the sunflowers since the field opened to visitors at the end of last month.
