In Chicago, Rural Democrats Feel the Joy. Will It Last?
Surrounded by the aloof gray walls of the convention center room, flanked by bodyguards and large screens projecting a screen saver that looked like vermicelli noodles swimming in dark water, and in front of an audience of conference goers wearing boots and blue jeans and bold-colored pantsuits, carrying “Cat ladies for Kamala” tote bags—and in the case of one delegate, a rose-colored suit jacket with the number 47 embroidered in string lights on the back, the 7 shaped like the state of Florida—Walz signaled that rural America had a voice at the top of the party ticket, a point she underscored by poking fun at her husband.

Otter Tennis Team Records 2 Wins at Moorhead Triangular
The Fergus Falls girls' tennis team traveled to Moorhead on Friday for a triangular which also included Morris. The Otters earned 6-1 victories against both squads. First up for the Otters was Moorhead. Moorhead is always a fun rival match-up for us. Our girls did a great job throughout the lineup of taking care of business, only dropping one match. We really outmatched them in doubles, dropping a total of five games in all three doubles matches. Our singles players did a nice job as well with three fairly routine wins, while Moorhead came away with the 4th singles victory. Our highlight match against Moorhead was at first singles where Ruby Ellison came up against Madison Anderson. Both girls are noted as top players in our section so we expected a good match up. Ruby did a great job of handling Madison's impressive serve and forehand and she showed grit out there, sticking in points and taking advantage of offensive opportunities when they arose. She played smart tennis and it paid off as she earned the first set 6-4. Ruby kept her foot on the accelerator in the second set, dropping just one game in a straight set victory. This was a big win for Ruby in that first singles slot and is hopefully a confidence boost for her moving forward. It's hard to look ahead to post-season in the second week of tennis, but this match was a big win for Ruby when it comes to seeding and post-season play.
Stewart Cink wins The Ally Challenge for his 1st PGA Tour Champions title
GRAND BLANC, Mich. (AP) — Stewart Cink won The Ally Challenge on Sunday for his first PGA Tour Champions title, closing with a 6-under 66 for a four-stroke victory over K.J. Choi. The 51-year-old Cink, the 2009 British Open champion, won in his 10th career start on the 50-and-over tour. He became the 22nd player to win on each of the PGA Tour’s three tours — the PGA Tour, PGA Tour Champions and Korn Ferry Tour. He won about five months after blowing a late lead in Tucson. “It was a motivation, for sure, once I got near the lead in the first round,” Cink said. “I know I’m capable of winning, but we have this funny way of believing in like the 2% of things that happen instead of the 98%. Tucson I think was probably a 2%,but it happened.”
