Dakota loses hard-fought state semifinal game to LeRoy in extra innings
PEORIA, Ill. (WTVO/WQRF) — Dakota's Class 1A state semifinal game Friday against LeRoy was literally a game of inches. A tenth inning ground ball by LeRoy's Emil Mennega glanced off the glove of Dakota's diving shortstop Finley Banks. The ball caromed into short centerfield allowing LeRoy to score the game-winning run and take the game two starting pitchers were superb. Dakota sophomore AJ Howarth pitched 9.2 innings allowing only six hits and two runs. Only one run was earned. She struck out nine sophomore Jacey Hagerman pitched ten innings She allowed eight hits and one run for the win to improve her record to scored its only run in the top of the second inning when Natalie Bartha sent a fly ball to deep right field for a triple that drove in Hailey Kerchner. Dakota led 1-0 until LeRoy answered in the fifth inning on a pop fly that dropped into short centerfield. An ill-advised throw to third base to try to get a LeRoy base runner was late and wild. It got away allowing the LeRoy runner to score and tie the record is now 25-6. The Indians have one more game to play in Peoria. At 9 a.m. Saturday they'll face Casey-Westfield in the 1A third-place see highlights of this game and get postgame thoughts from Dakota coach Jeff Kinney, watch the media player above.

I tested three cheap(er) ways to fly to Europe; here's my verdict
There's some good news (finally): flights to Europe are slated to descend in price. Then there's the bad news: the cost of living has soared. So how to bridge that gap between licking a gelato in Rome (although you might switch the Jubilee city for an alternative this year) and being able to afford the maraschino cherry on top upon arrival? With airfares the largest initial outlay for a European jaunt and northern summer flights nudging capacity, here's how to save more so you can spend up upon touching down. The low-cost carrier An acquaintance is posting a photo of a 1A ticket with a #sograteful upgrade hashtag. That's not us today, people, someone has to take a hit for the team so here I am on Scoot, a low-cost subsidiary of Singapore Airlines, #reality. When that $410 economy or $840 ScootPlus sale fare to Athens pops up as it did in January, we all think about it (tell me you don't). But usually, the frontal lobe kicks in with logic before hitting 'Pay now' – or the fare quota expires and prices jump another tier. This time neither happened. Scoot famously has no screens and no complimentary power outlets in economy (although the latter can be purchased from $5). The variety of device holders and power packs on board is astounding and there are many empty hours ahead to germinate the idea of a (potentially lucrative) gadget store adjacent to the Scoot boarding gates. The name even apparates somewhere over Malaysia – The Device Dealer. The meals are good (black pepper beef, can recommend), the entertainment retro (a paper book, so 1999) and after a budget airline toe-dip on a Sydney to Singapore flight, I declare it's bearable but wouldn't fly to Europe in one hit. Then I do.

Veterans welcomed home to Sioux City following Midwest Honor Flight trip
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (KCAU) — Veterans who joined the most recent Midwest Honor Flight to Washington, D.C. found a crowd of Siouxlanders waiting for them when they landed in Sioux City Tuesday evening. The event was the culmination of what had been an emotional day for much of the group. For some of the veterans, the moment served as a 'welcome home' celebration that was long overdue. 'This is a lot different than the one I had the first time, when I came home from Vietnam,' said Keith Nicks, a Vietnam veteran from Remsen, Iowa. 'It was, oh! It was a beautiful day.' Others emphasize that they hope more veterans can also take part in the experience. 'If they get an opportunity to do this, every veteran needs to go on this trip,' said Doug Conrad, a Vietnam veteran from Sioux City. Sergeant Bluff hires first full-time fire chief The flight took off early Tuesday morning from the Sioux Gateway Airport, the first Midwest Honor Flight to depart from the Sioux City airport since 2010. Once they landed in D.C., the group was able to visit several of the war memorials in the nation's capital, including those built in honor of the wars in which they served themselves. The CEO of Midwest Honor Flight, Aaron Van Beek, said it's thanks to the community that these trips can take place. 'It was a great day,' he said. 'We are so thankful for so many supporters throughout the community area, here in the Siouxland area, who give their time, their efforts, their donations to make it possible for this flight today, for so many veterans to have the chance to see their memorials in Washington, D.C.' With the help of the community, Midwest Honor Flight raised nearly $200,000 to make Tuesday's flight happen.

'It was quite a crowd to see,' he said. 'We didn't know if there'd be 12 people or 1,200 people that showed up tonight, and Siouxland certainly showed up to make this welcome home a special event for our veterans on flight today.'
