I would like info on two weeks in Molokai next February. There was an older motel on the beach. All the rooms were on poles off the ground. I belong to the Molokai Veterans Association.

One of the great things of Hawaii is being in wonderful Waikiki!

I never had honey moon so I would definitely appreciate a trip any trip me and husband would be grateful we both work full time and there is a need for a vacation

Please consider me and my significant other. I have been hoping to get away with him for about 3 years now but something has always kept us from being able to travel together. Hawaii ha, and still is, my choice of a trip away. 1, because I love the experience I have had alone. But mainly because we as a couple have never been away with one another. First it was the pandemic so I had to cancel a trip I was planning for us. Then we got pregnant back to back. So now we have 3 children and have never traveled alone, or as a family. A trip to any Island would be everything to me, and for us. I thank you for reading this and giving me some slight hope that we could be winners.

I would love to win a trip to Hawaii.

We’re spending our 50th on Hawaii Island in Sept 23. I do not see much about this island on your site. Thanks Dorothy

What a beautiful place

OK here we go, I entered three of these. Hope to be there soon!

😀 Me, too! I hope we both win trips to Hawaii! 🏝️

Did you win? My father gave trips to Hawaii on the Wheel of Fortune in the 80s

Northeast Stars Secure 11U NTIS Gold With Tight Win Over South Stripes

CARY, N.C. – Jack McCloskey pitched 5.2 strong innings and Jack Carson was a force offensively as the Northeast Stars took down the South Stripes, 4-3, in the gold medal game of the 11U National Team Identification Series (NTIS) Champions Cup.

Coming off a dramatic semifinal win over the Southwest Stars just an hour before, the Northeast kept its foot on the gas to score two runs in the bottom of the first in the gold medal bout. Carson reached base and scored on a double steal, and Leonard Stephens III came home shortly after on a throwing error to go up 2-0 early on.

The South Stripes, who also had a tight semifinal victory in the morning–beating the South Stars–almost answered immediately in the top of the second. But with two outs, catcher Logan May erased a would-be base stealer to keep the Northeast in front by two.

That momentum carried over into the bottom of the second as the Northeast doubled its lead. With two runners in scoring position, Carson drilled a two-run single into right field to give the Stripes a 4-0 advantage.

4️⃣-run lead for @NortheastNTIS ❕ pic.twitter.com/zqSkiO311O — NTIS Champions Cup (@USABEvents) August 25, 2024

McCloskey, who got the start shortly after securing a save in the semifinals, kept the South Stripes off the board until the bottom of the fourth when the Stripes put together a huge rally to nearly tie the game. The squad loaded the bases with nobody out and finally cracked the scoreboard on an RBI fielder’s choice by Declan Cretti. A balk followed shortly after to trim the Stripes’ deficit to two runs, and Carlos Guerra then hammered an RBI single to make it 4-3 in the fourth before McCloskey stopped the bleeding to stay in front.

The pitchers exchanged zeroes over the next couple of frames, setting up for a dramatic finish in the late innings. The Stripes got a leadoff baserunner in the sixth and knocked McCloskey out of the game, but reliever Jaxson May entered out of the Northeast bullpen to keep the one-run lead intact.

May returned to the mound in the top of the seventh, looking for three more outs to secure the save. Mason Fortman led off for the South with an opposite-field single to put the tying run on base, and a groundout advanced him to second. After another groundout put Fortman on third base with two outs, May coaxed a pop up to shortstop for the final out to give the Northeast its first gold medal of the 2024 NTIS Champions Cup.

It's the second all-time gold medal at the 11U NTIS Champions Cup for the Northeast, as the region also secured the title in 2022.

In the bronze medal game, the Southwest Stars beat the South Stars, 6-2, to nab the Southwest’s seventh all-time medal at the 11U level. It is the second time in five summers that the Southwest has earned an 11U bronze.

Program: Evie Wyld's writing tip: put a shark in it

Brought to you by

ABC Radio National

Presented by

A woman with dark long hair

Award-winning author Evie Wyld on her new book The Echoes, and why there are so many sharks in her fiction. Plus, Catherine McKinnon's epic war novel To Sing of War and Jordan Prosser's band road trip novel, Big Time.

Evie Wyld is one of the few Australian writers to win both the Miles Franklin and the Stella Prizes (the Miles for All the Birds, Singing, and the Stella for The Bass Rock). She is drawn to the paranormal and gothic in her fiction and this atmosphere imbues her new book, The Echoes , which is partly narrated by a ghost. Evie shares her go to writing tip (yes, it has to do with sharks) and the appeal of the TV series Neighbours when she was growing up in England.

Catherine McKinnon is a playwright, literary critic and novelist. Her second novel Storyland was shortlisted for the 2018 Miles Franklin. Catherine's third book, To Sing of War , is set during World War II and asks what makes this war different. It's a braided story that threads multiple perspectives from characters in different places, including the Australians fighting against the Japanese in New Guinea and those developing of the atomic bomb in New Mexico, USA.

Big Time is the debut novel from Australian screenwriter-turned novelist Jordan Prosser . It's a band road trip story set in a futuristic, fascist Australia where a popular drug gives users a glimpse of their future.

August is Australian Poetry Month and to celebrate Radio National is bringing you brand new poems commissioned by Red Room Poetry. Laura Panopoulos is a Tasmanian-based poet who also runs Silver Words, a monthly open mic spoken word event in Hobart. Laura's poem is called Perimeter of Rectangles.

Lathan raced home from second base on an overthrow at first as Lake Mary, Florida, rallied to beat Taiwan 2-1 in eight innings and claim the title.

“It was the greatest feeling ever,” said Lathan, who had a fever of 102 on Saturday but recovered before the championship. “I still haven’t had time to let it all sink in, but it feels like the most amazing thing ever.”

Taiwan clung to a 1-0 lead from the first inning until Florida’s last at-bat. The Southeast region representatives outhit Taiwan and had a runner on third in three separate innings but couldn’t get a run across.

Then, in the bottom of the sixth, Florida got runners on first and second and DeMarcos Mieses, who struck out in his previous two at-bats, delivered. Hitting the gap in shallow left, he gave Chase Anderson enough time to sprint home and tie the game.

The bunt that was heard around the world 🌎 Here's the historic play that won Florida their first-ever #LLWS title 😱 pic.twitter.com/Ba0HjhRFQC — Little League (@LittleLeague) August 25, 2024

In the eighth, Lathan was placed by rule on second base to start the inning. Hunter Alexander bunted, and the throw to first went into the outfield. Florida players poured out of the dugout while the Taiwan players crumpled.

“I was just thinking, ‘Stay fair, stay fair,’” Hunter said. “After that ball goes past me, I say, ‘Let’s go!’”

Taiwan drew two straight walks to start the game. After a bunt moved the runners over and a pop out, Hu Yen-Chun hit a ball toward third, which ricocheted off James Feliciano. Chiu Wei-Che scored easily. But it was Taiwan’s only run.

This is the first championship in nine tries for Florida, which also came from behind in its 10-7 semifinal win over Texas on Saturday, scoring five runs in its final at-bat.

“We came here to do something. We came here to do a job, and today we accomplished that job,” Florida manager Jonathan Anderson said. “We took a loss to Texas, we battled all the way back, and here we are to talk about how we won this whole thing.”

Taiwan was a dominant team at the LLWS from 1969, when it won its first championship, to 1996, when it claimed its 17th. But it had only made the title game once since, in 2009, a loss to California, before Sunday. Lee Cheng-Ta managed both that team and this year’s club, Kuei-Shan Little League from Taoyuan, Taiwan. Last season, he led the same team — with a completely different roster — to a third-place finish.

Coaches for Taiwan, representing the Asia-Pacific region, declined to attend the postgame news conference.

Sports | Raging Torrent outlasts The Chosen Vron to win Del Mar’s Pat O’Brien Stakes

win a trip august 2023

The Chosen Vron entered the Pat O’Brien as the 1-2 favorite and riding a six-race winning streak. The 6-year-old gelded son of Vronsky had won 15 of his last 16 races under jockey Hector Berrios — typically taking charge on the far turn and dominating the opposition in the stretch.

This time, however, Raging Torrent, a 3-year-old son of Maximum Mischief, refused to fold under the pressure applied by The Chosen Vron.

Afterwards, Raging Torrent trainer Doug O’Neill said the seven pounds less carried by his horse could have factored into the victory. The Chosen Vron was carrying 125 pounds to 118 for Raging Torrent — who returned to the West Coast after scoring two straight victories under Fresu over the past 3½ months at Churchill Downs.

Raging Torrent ($10.80) was the third-choice in the field of eight older sprinters. Long shot Big City Lights (Kazushi Kimura) finished third, 3½ lengths behind The Chosen Vron. Second-choice Senor Buscador (Joseph Talamo) rallied to finish fourth after trailing far behind in last for the first half-mile.

“Well, I tried to ride Raging Torrent as I did back at Churchill Downs,” said Fresu, who scored three wins Saturday. “Obviously, he had more work to do today as The Chosen Vron was there.

“But Raging Torrent is a fighter. I didn’t give him one touch. Once the horse showed me he was fighting, I didn’t want to punish him. He was keeping his head in front (while on the inside).

“It’s not easy to beat The Chosen Vron, which is the best horse in California. But we did it. We always knew this horse was a good one.”

“He tried, no doubt,” Berrios said of The Chosen Vron. “But maybe he came back a little too quick (after winning the Grade I Bing Crosby on July 27 at Del Mar). This might have been too soon. He had to give the winner weight, too. That all adds up.””I didn’t know if we’d get that easy of a lead,” said O’Neill. “Turning for home, I was thinking maybe we got second. I never thought he’d put away The Chosen Vron. That was pretty incredible.”

Prat, Azteca team

Six-time Del Mar riding champion Flavien Prat will fly in from Saratoga Springs, N.Y., Sunday to ride 2-5 morning-line favorite Sweet Azteca in the Grade III Rancho Bernardo Handicap — a 6½-furlong sprint on the main track for older fillies and mares.

Sweet Azteca, a 4-year-old daughter of Sharp Azteca , will be going for a third straight graded stakes win and a fifth win in six career starts in a field of seven that includes the only filly to defeat her.

In her most recent start, Sweet Azteca won the Grade II Great Lady M stakes at Los Alamitos on July 6, setting the track record for 6½ furlongs in the process. In the start before that Sweet Azteca, with Prat up, won the Grade I Beholder Stakes at Santa Anita on March 9 — finishing three-quarters of a length ahead of Pacific Classic nominee Adare Manor .

In her only defeat, Sweet Azteca ran third in the Grade III Las Flores stakes at Santa Anita on Jan 1.

Trainer Mike McCarthy has Sweet Azteca running at Del Mar in the Rancho Bernardo with an eye ahead to the $1 million Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Sprint at Del Mar on Nov. 2.

“We’re looking to get her a race over the track for the Breeders’ Cup,” said McCarthy. “She gave us glimpses last year that she had  some ability. You never know.”

Fresu’s other wins Saturday came with Tarantino ($13 in the third) and Love Our Family ($7.60) in the fifth — giving the jockey 21 wins on the season and third in the standings.

• O’Neill had back-to-wins in the eighth ( Just Nails , $9.20) and the feature.

• Emerald Bay , a 2-year-old son of Nyquist who was a $700,000 purchase as a yearling, scored his first win for trainer Bob Baffert and jockey Juan Hernandez in the day’s opening race as a 2-5 favorite. Emerald Bay ran second in his July 28 debut at Del Mar as an equally heavy favorite.

Loons Break Tie with Two Runs in Eighth Inning to Beat Wisconsin

MIDLAND, MI – The Great Lakes Loons rallied late to defeat the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers 4-2 at Dow Diamond on Tuesday night. The Loons needed the win to keep up their chances for a third consecutive trip to the playoffs, but a frightening incident in the third inning muted the celebration for the home team.

The Timber Rattlers (70-44 overall, 28-20 second half) grabbed the lead with a two-out rally in the top of the first inning. Eduardo Garcia doubled, and Matt Wood walked to keep the inning going. Then, Jadher Areinamo punched a single through the right side of the infield to score Garcia for the 1-0 advantage.

The mood turned very serious in the top of the third inning. Luis Lara walked to start the inning against Great Lakes starting pitcher Patrick Copen. Cooper Pratt was next, and Pratt hit a line drive right back at the right-handed pitcher. Copen could not get his glove up in time and the ball hit him in the face. The game was delayed 21 minutes while Copen received medical attention from the training staffs of both teams and on-site paramedics. Copen, wearing a neck brace, was carted off the field on a stretcher while the grounds crew cleaned up the blood from the mound.

The game restarted with a single from Garcia against new Great Lakes pitcher Christian Romero, who started warming in the bullpen as Copen was taken off the field, to load the bases. Romero escaped the inning with a strikeout and a double play.

The Loons (60-53, 26-21) scored an unearned run in the bottom of the third to tie the game. Jake Vogel reached on an infield single and took second on a throwing error by Garcia. Josue De Paula singled up the middle with one out to score Vogel.

This was the only run allowed by Wisconsin starting pitcher Will Rudy. He allowed three hits, walked two, and struck out four over five innings. He was also in line for his third straight win due to what happened in the top of the sixth inning.

Hedbert Pérez, who suffered a season-ending injury with the Carolina Mudcats on July 18, 2023 and had only returned to game action last Tuesday with the Rattlers, crushed a two-out, solo home run in the top of the sixth inning. The homer was the first for Pérez since July 6, 2023. It also gave Wisconsin a 2-1 lead.

The lead was short-lived. De Paula hit the first pitch from Yerlin Rodriguez in the bottom of the sixth inning for a solo homer to tie the game.

Great Lakes got to reliever Aaron Rund in the bottom of the eighth inning and it was De Paula who got things started with a lead-off walk. Kyle Nevin had a hit-and-run single to get De Paula to third. Jake Gelof got a high chopper over the head of Garcia at third for a double to score De Paula. Sam Mongelli was next. He singled to knock in Nevin with an insurance run.

Tayden Hall doubled with one out in the top of the ninth inning against Loons closer Kelvin Ramirez, but he was left stranded as the next two batters were retired. Wisconsin stranded eight runners and was 2-for-10 with runners in scoring position.

The defeat was the third straight loss for the Timber Rattlers. This is the fourth time Wisconsin has lost three in a row. They have not lost four games in a row this season.

Great Lakes has beaten Wisconsin six straight times at Dow Diamond dating back to winning the final five games of a series in Midland in June of 2022.

Game two of the series is Wednesday night at Dow Diamond. Alexander Cornielle (6-5, 4.52) is scheduled as the starting pitcher for the Timber Rattlers. Maddux Bruns (0-1, 1.96) is set to start for the Loons. Game time is 6:05pm CDT. The radio broadcast is on AM1280, WNAM with the Community Blood Center Pregame Show set to go at 5:45pm. The game is also available on the internet and the Bally Live App .

SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. — Lathan Norton was sick and didn’t play on Saturday at the Little League World Series. But on Sunday he scored the winning run in the championship.

Lathan raced home from second base on an overthrow at first as Lake Mary, Florida, rallied to beat Taiwan 2-1 in eight innings and claim the title.

“It was the greatest feeling ever,” said Lathan, who had a fever of 102 on Saturday but recovered before the championship. “I still haven’t had time to let it all sink in, but it feels like the most amazing thing ever.”
