It is one of the most famous events in Germany and the world’s largest fair, with more than 5 million people attending every year. The Oktoberfest is an important part of Bavarian culture. Other cities across the world also hold Oktoberfest celebrations, modeled after the Munich event.

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Hundreds of mourners, many of them wearing red shirts, gathered to remember a Fargo woman whose body was found three days after authorities recovered a newborn baby believed to be hers.

The funeral Thursday for 22-year-old Savanah Greywind included Native American songs and prayer and tributes from Spirit Lake Tribal Chairwoman Myra Pearson and Fargo Mayor Tim Mahoney.

Pearson said she couldn’t find the words to express what happened, but says it has brought communities together and she believes “something great is going to come out of this.” Mahoney said the entire community lost a daughter.

The red shirts are meant to honor Greywind and other indigenous women killed or missing.

A private burial ceremony was planned later Thursday.

Two of Greywind’s neighbors are charged with murder and kidnapping.

 

WAHPETON, N.D. (AP) — Eighteen people have been displaced by a fire that swept through a 12-unit apartment building in Wahpeton.

Authorities say the fire appears to have started on a first floor deck late Thursday night. It rapidly spread up the building’s exterior walls to the third floor and attic. Six apartments were gutted. The others were damaged by smoke and water.

Richland County Emergency Manager Brett Lambrecht says half the building was on fire when firefighters arrived on scene at 11:15 p.m.

Wahpeton police went door to door as the fire spread, waking some tenants. No one was hurt.

Lambrecht says residents have been put up in local hotels or are staying with relatives. The Red Cross is assisting those in need.

AMERICAN LEAGUE

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Twins’ Jorge Polanco drove in the go-ahead runs off ailing Kansas City closer Kelvin Herrera with two outs in the ninth inning, and Minnesota rallied to beat the Royals 4-2 Thursday night. Trevor Hildenberger earned the win with a scoreless eighth in relief of Twins starter Kyle Gibson.

 

The Indians set a team-record with their 15th consecutive victory by belting five home runs and getting another strong performance from Corey Kluber in an 11-2 pounding of the White Sox in Chicago. It’s the longest winning streak since the 2002 Oakland Athletics won 20 in a row on their way to the AL West title.

NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — There were big plays all over the field. The Chiefs, not the Patriots, were making them. Alex Smith threw two long touchdown passes and rookie Kareem Hunt, after fumbling on his first NFL carry, scored three times to help Kansas City stun New England 42-27 Thursday night in the season opener.

 

Vikings, Saints…

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — When Adrian Peterson wore purple, the revered running back was predictably off limits for Minnesota’s defense during practice. Now his old friends on the Vikings defense will be eyeing him up from the other side, eager to tackle him for the first time. Peterson spent 10 seasons with Minnesota, until he became a free agent and signed with New Orleans this spring. The Vikings host Peterson and the Saints Monday night.

 

Michael Obit…

Longtime Yankees player, manager and executive Gene Michael has died at 79.Michael spent seven of his 10 big league seasons with the Bombers and also played for the Pirates, Dodgers and Tigers. He had two stints as Yankees manager and two more as the team’s GM before serving as the team’s top scout and a special adviser to general manager Brian Cashman. He oversaw the drafting and development of Derek Jeter, Andy Pettitte, Bernie Williams and Mariano Rivera. The Yankees say Michael had a heart attack and died Thursday.

 

TENNIS-US OPEN

NEW YORK (AP) — It will be Sloane Stephens versus Madison Keys in Saturday’s U.S. Open women’s final.

The unseeded Stephens earned a spot in her first Grand Slam final by outlasting No. 9 Venus Williams, 1-6, 6-0, 7-5. Stephens quickly went up a service break in the third set, but she eventually trailed 5-4 and was two points from defeat before taking the last three games. The rally ended Williams’ quest to reach the final for the first time in 15 years.

Stephens is just the fourth unseeded player to reach the U.S. Open women’s final in the 49 years of the Open era, and the first since Roberta Vinci in 2015.

The 15th-seeded Keys rolled to a 6-1, 6-2 win over No. 20 Coco Vandeweghe to reach her first Grand Slam final.

Keys won 19 of the first 22 points and raced to a 5-0 lead in an opening set that lasted just 23 minutes. She continued to dominate despite an upper right leg injury that caused her to call the trainer to be taped midway through the second set.

The men’s semifinals are today.

 

COLLEGE FOOTBALL-IRMA

UNDATED (AP) — Tenth-ranked Florida State and No. 22 Florida have canceled their respective home openers because of impending Hurricane Irma.

The Seminoles were supposed to play Louisiana-Monroe, while the Gators faced Northern Colorado.

Florida athletic director Scott Stricklin says it “become obvious that playing a football game is not the right thing to do.”

Neither game will be made up.

Also, South Florida and UConn called off their scheduled football game Saturday because of Irma. No makeup date was immediately announced.

 

LPGA-INDIANAPOLIS

 

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Lexi Thompson is the leader after the opening round of the LPGA Tour’s inaugural Indy Women in Tech Championship at Indianapolis.

She fired a 9-under 63 that included 11 birdies and two bogeys, leaving her one shot ahead of Sandra Gal and Kris Tamulis. Thompson fell one stroke short of the Brickyard Crossing record set by Mike McCullough in the PGA Tour Champions’ 1999 Comfort Classic.
