TODAY’S TALKER

DuPage Co. woman collects fishing line to save wildlife The ASSOCIATED PRESS WHEATON – A Wheaton resident who volunteers with a bird rescue group scans the ground near popular DuPage County fishing spots in search of fishing line that can harm wildlife.

Amy Tavolino told the Daily Herald that she has seen numerous animals injured by fishing line and hooks at suburban Chicago parks and forest preserves, including birds entangled in monofilament fishing line that doesn’t decompose.

DuPage forest preserve officials say discarded monofilament fishing line has been an issue for years at the more popular fishing spots.

The Forest Preserve District of DuPage County began installing recycling bins for monofilament line, which is made from a single fiber of plastic, around busier lakes about five years ago, said Bob McNeel, assistant manager of the district’s west rangers.

“We want people to be able to recreate in the preserves and utilize the resources,” McNeel said. “But we want them also to do it responsibly.”

Hundreds of wild animals injured by fishing tackle are cared for each year at Willowbrook Wildlife Center in Glen Ellyn, according to the district’s fishing guide. The facility treats injured native species with the hope of releasing them back into the wild.

Tavolino said she has seen Canada geese with their legs bound together by fishing line, ducks with hooks in their mouths, and ensnared birds that could have died if they weren’t freed from lines.

She said fishermen must properly dispose of unwanted line, hooks, lures and bobbers.

“I am not anti-fishing,” Tavolino said. “I just want to get the word out because there’s so many people that don’t know about this.”

Jay Johnson, a manager of site operations with the district, said staff members try to maintain the areas.

“We also get volunteer groups to help us pick up trash and fishing line whenever possible,” Johnson said.

Paranormal Research Group uses scientific methods to track spirits

By BRITTANY KEEPERMAN bkeeperman@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Paranormal experts say there probably is a ghost in your house, and not just because it’s Halloween.

“Spirits are absolutely, positively everywhere,” said Tony Olszewski, founder of the McHenry County Paranormal Research Group. “It’s only a haunting when they interact and cause problems. More often than not, when they create a problem, it is to get the assistance they need.”

Olszewski, formerly of Wood-

stock, founded the organization in 2006 and completes paranormal investigations on a monthly basis, in person and over the phone. He has investigated sites around Chicago and the surrounding area, including McHenry County, which includes historical societies, businesses and homes.

Conversing with the spirit world may sound far-fetched to some, but that doesn’t matter to him.

“We don’t require or request that anyone believe in what we do,” he said. “We’re not interested in converting anyone. It doesn’t matter what anyone thinks because it

has no connection to what we do.”

A retired police officer and McHenry County native, Olszewski said he always had seen things logically and in shades of black and white before becoming more involved in work with the spirit world. Much of life is a gray area, but science and logic still play a role in what he does, he said.

The team uses scientific methods during investigations, such as thermal imaging cameras and laser temperature gauges, which measure temperature at a certain point

By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – A stopgap plan to make sure the county’s nondedicated roads get plowed and maintained this winter is one of the issues that the McHenry County Board will tackle Tuesday morning.

Board members are scheduled to vote on a set of resolutions that would reimburse respective township highway departments for plowing and minor repairs if needed on nondedicated roads in their jurisdictions.

Such roads, some of which date back a century or more, are public roads that do

not fall under any government’s responsibility to maintain them, meaning that residents who pay property and motor fuel taxes for road maintenance do not see any benefit, and have to take care of repairs and plowing themselves.

The reimbursement rate before the County Board is $7,000 per mile of road maintained, or a total of $158,974 if all four resolutions are adopted. The majority, 14.4 miles, is in McHenry Township, with about 4.1 miles of nondedicated roads in Nunda Township, 3.3 miles in Algonquin Township and 0.8 miles in Dorr Township.

County officials are seeking the reimbursement route because the townships have the equipment necessary to plow small roads. The county’s plow trucks are too large.

After about eight years of work by residents who have alleged that their con-

cerns were ignored, the County Board in August voted to approve and fund a plan to repair these roads and bring them up to standards that would allow either the county or individual townships to integrate them into their road networks. However, complications and some infighting have arisen over legal issues, such as making sure that the work legally can be done.

The county is putting out a request for proposals for surveying the roads to determine the right of way.

Also on Tuesday’s agenda are presentations for the annual budgets of Metra, Pace and the Regional Transportation Authority, as well as modifications to the county’s travel and business expense policy.

LAKE IN THE HILLS – Village officials said the annual drawdown of Woods Creek Lake and triennial drawdown of Goose Lake are scheduled to begin Friday.

The purpose of lowering the lakes’ water level is to allow the village engineer to inspect the dams. The inspections are required by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, village officials said.

The drawdown, inspection and lake recovery, or refill, process are expected to take about three weeks. Under ideal weather conditions, the lakes will be at their minimum water levels by Nov. 7, and the inspections will be conducted at that time. Village officials then will close the gates and allow the natural recovery process to start immediately

haunted opera house, he said. He has been contacted by numerous TV ghost hunters as well as other people who want to investigate.

And there are the occasional bumps in the night. But those are more indicative of the building or pigeons, he said.

“Every time we investigate a weird

noise, we find something that is very expensive to fix,” he said.

History research shows that the story is just that – fiction, made up by a comedian after a chair in the audience malfunctioned during an empty theater rehearsal, Scharres said.

The tale spread by word of mouth

and eventually became well-known. A search through the archives of local newspapers showed no reporting of a girl committing suicide in the opera house, he added.

“It’s quaint and everything,” he said. “It has done us some good. But the downside is the most scary part.”

Interest in the paranormal peaked as a variety of ghost-hunting TV shows aired a couple of years ago, but Olszewski said he doesn’t put much stock in those. McHenry County was of particular interest to those types of shows at one point, however. Many agencies have contacted the historic Woodstock Opera House, hoping to investigate “Elvira” Rumor has it that a young actress haunts the theater after either hanging herself in the tower or throwing herself off the second floor. The story has drawn many curious people and ghost hunters to the theater, although staff try to downplay the legend, opera house Managing Director John Scharres said.

“We’ve found there is a real downside in playing up the story,” he said.

“When we first opened up after the restoration in the late ’70s, we kind of let the ghost story go and tried to almost promote it. … But we found that created all kinds of security and safety problems for our staff and audience members.”

People would try to break in, sneak around and hide until close because they wanted to spend the night in a

By REGINA GARCIA CANO The Associated Press

CANNON BALL, N.D. – The crowdsourcing goal was modest: $5,000, enough to help a few dozen people camping in North Dakota to protest the nearby construction of the four-state Dakota Access oil pipeline. The fund has since topped a staggering $1 million.

The fund is among several cash streams that have provided at least $3 million to help with legal costs, food and other supplies to those opposing the nearly 1,200-mile pipeline. It also might give protesters the ability to prolong their months-long encampments that have attracted thousands of supporters, as the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe pursues the fight in court.

And as the number of protest-related arrests increased this week, so did contributions – the funds raked in more than $200,000 between Thursday and Friday alone.

But demonstrators are quick to note that the amount of money raised and what they have left isn’t the same.

“It still feels unreal sometimes because it is such an astronomical figure to me,” said Ho Waste Wakiya Wicasa, the protester who set up the GoFundMe

News from across the state Pieces flew thousands of feet from plane on fire

CHICAGO – Engine pieces from an American Airlines plane that caught fire Friday on a runway at Chicago’s O’Hare airport were found thousands of feet away, a federal investigator said.

Lorenda Ward, a National Transportation Safety Board senior investigator, confirmed Saturday that the fire was caused by engine failure. What caused the engine to fail has not yet been determined, she said at a press conference.

She said the fire started in a pool of fuel under the right wing of the Boeing 767.

One piece of General Electric engine was found nearly 3,000 feet away at a UPS warehouse. Another was found about 1,500 feet away but on airport property.

Vigil held for police officer killed during car chase

CHESTER – About 150 people attended a vigil for a southern Illinois police officer killed during a chase.

The Belleville News-Democrat reported the vigil for 22-year-old Officer James Brockmeyer of the Chester Police Department was held Saturday night at a recreational complex in the city. He died

Friday night after his squad car left the roadway and flipped in Randolph County.

Brockmeyer joined the police force 10 months ago. He also had been a volunteer firefighter in the community for three years.

Volunteer firefighters were called to the crash scene to help extricate Brockmeyer from his vehicle.

Chester Fire Chief Marty Bert said “it was the first time we had to take one of our own out.”

Champaign plans homage to Susan B. Anthony

CHAMPAIGN – Advocates will pay homage to Susan B. Anthony at a downtown Champaign fountain on Election Day – a possibly historic day for women.

The Champaign News-Gazette reported organizers were inspired by well-wishers in Rochester, New York, where for years women have placed “I Voted” stickers on the 19th century activist’s grave.

Chris D’Arpa and Lucy Moynihan are urging women to meet at 6 p.m. Nov. 8 at the fountain where a plaque honoring Anthony hangs. Anthony was a leader for women’s suffrage but died more than a decade before women got the right to vote.

This election – with Hillary Clinton the Democratic nominee – could see the first woman elected U.S. president.

D’Arpa said it will be a “decidedly and deliberately nonpartisan gathering.”

Roselle teen raises bar in weightlifting The ASSOCIATED PRESS ROSELLE – Inside a Schaumburg gym, Abby Raymond has an audience and doesn’t seem to notice.

She’s lifting a barbell with about 95 pounds of weight over her 4-foot, 10-inch frame. One observer, amazed, shakes his head.

Abby pays no attention. She’s lifted far heavier, and she’s not here for affirmation. Her own competitive drive provides enough.

“There can’t be a doubt in your mind that you’re going to do it,” she said.

And so the 13-year-old tends to keep to herself when she trains after school.

Her coach, Roger Nielsen, led U.S. weightlifting teams to the Olympics and thinks Abby has a good chance to reach the pinnacle of the sport. The Roselle Middle School student already holds three American records for her age group.

But Abby can celebrate those milestones for only so long. She knows she faces a long road and must refocus for the next competition.

Abby long has pushed the boundaries of her strength. At 3 years old, she started gymnastics and devoted about seven years to the sport she misses every so often.

But weightlifting?

“I’ve just got like that feeling in my gut telling me this is for me,” Abby said.

And while she was sometimes reluctant to put in the work for gymnastics – at one point spending 25 hours a week at the gym during summer vacation – Abby has never complained to her parents about her weightlifting regimen.

“Never said, ‘Aw, do I have to go today, Dad?’ ” Todd Raymond said.

That doesn’t mean she hasn’t made sacrifices. Weightlifting is a solitary sport – and even more so for a teen who misses sleepovers and whose seventh-grade classmates don’t really understand why she has to train four days a week and eat healthy to stay in her 53-kilogram (just under 117 pounds) weight class.

“None of her friends have an interest or have any desires or know anything about what she does,” her dad said. “I think there’s a part of her that wishes they did. But I think the strength portion of it and being around adults has given her a lot of confidence.”

Abby began training around adults shortly after the Roselle family watched an episode of NBC’s “American Ninja Warrior” about two years ago. Abby was captivated by Kacy Cat-

Weight lifter Abby Raymond, 13, trains at CrossFit Rise on Sept. 19 in Schaumburg. She competed at the Mid-American Weightlifting Championship Oct. 22 in Schaumburg. Her coach, Roger Nielsen, thinks Abby has a good chance to reach the pinnacle of the sport.

“You never stop perfecting the technique because there’s no such thing as a perfect lift.”

Abby Raymond 13-year-old Roselle resident anzaro, the first woman to complete the show’s city finals obstacle course and a former gymnast who stayed in shape with CrossFit. Abby tried the workout in a Roselle gym and bonded with a coach who would later move to Arizona and refer her to Nielsen. In the past year, Nielsen has helped Abby develop her technical form in the two Olympic-style lifts: the snatch and the clean-andjerk.

“You never stop perfecting the technique because there’s no such thing as a perfect lift,” Abby said.

“There’s something that you can fix every single time.”

While perfection might be elusive, Abby isn’t intimidated by lifters twice her age at CrossFit Rise in Schaumburg, where she trains and competed on the first day of the Mid-American championship Oct. 22. They, in turn,

respect the girl with braces who loves watching movies with her friends.

“They all accept her because she’s here every day, four days a week, does just like they do,” her dad said. “She’s one of them.”

That discipline helps explain the success Abby has achieved in relatively short order. She placed first among girls 13 and younger in the 48-kilogram (just under 106 pounds) weight class in June at the National Youth Championships in Austin, Texas, where she also broke two American records.

The wunderkind made history again about a month later with a third record in her age group – this time in the 53-kilogram class – at a competition hosted by USA Weightlifting. The event capped an eight-day training camp for Abby and other top prospects invited to the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs.

“She’s doing stuff that no other kid has done at this body weight,” Nielsen said.

Her dad, dean of students and the former head wrestling coach at Lake Park High School, reminds her not to take too much satisfaction out of titles. And Nielsen keeps a low-key presence in the gym. Abby has to earn his compliments.

“It’s fast and furious along the way sometimes, but you get one thing out of the way and you start training and planning for the next event,” Nielsen said.

He fully expects Abby to hit the qualifying total she needs to punch a ticket to USA Weightlifting’s National Championships in May in Lombard.

She would still be 13 years old and one of the youngest to qualify.

Ask Abby about her future, and she doesn’t hesitate: She’s determined to make the Olympics.

Ask Nielsen, head coach of the U.S. men’s weightlifting team at the 2008 Beijing Summer Games, and he thinks Tokyo 2020 might be a long shot. But making the 2024 Olympics is “definitely possible” for Abby.

“Of all the kids I’ve worked with, she’s probably got as much as drive as anybody,” said Nielsen, who also coached the 1992 Barcelona team.

Her talent wasn’t immediately obvious, but a month or so into their training together, Nielsen recognized “she’s got all the pieces.”

Leg strength and flexibility from gymnastics. A tough attitude. Support from family.

“It’s what you look for as a coach,” he said. “She’s got it all.”

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Powerful quake strikes at Italy’s identity

NORCIA, Italy – The third powerful earthquake to hit Italy in two months spared human life Sunday but struck at the nation’s identity, destroying a Benedictine cathedral, a medieval tower and other beloved landmarks that had survived the earlier jolts across a mountainous region of small historic towns.

Lost or severely damaged in the shaking were ancient Roman walls, Gothic and Baroque churches and centuries-old paintings crushed beneath tons of brick, sandstone and marble.

Italian Premier Matteo Renzi said the nation’s “soul is disturbed” by the series of quakes, starting with the deadly Aug. 24 event that killed nearly 300 people, two back-to-back temblors on Oct. 26, and the biggest of them all, a 6.6-magnitude quake that shook people out of bed Sunday morning. It was the strongest quake to hit Italy in 36 years.

Jury selection begins for officer in motorist death

CHARLESTON, S.C. – A jury being chosen this week in Charleston will have to decide whether a white former police officer is guilty of murder in the shooting of an unarmed black motorist that shocked the nation after a bystander released cellphone video of the confrontation.

Michael Slager’s attorney contends there was more to the incident than what appeared on the widely seen video clip showing Walter Scott’s shooting, including a fight between the pair and a tussle over the officer’s Taser. Coincidentally, the same week that a panel is being seated in the Slager case, jury selection begins for the trial of a former University of Cincinnati police officer who – like Slager – stands accused of murder in the shooting death of an unarmed black man.

Syria rebels keep up offensive on Aleppo

BEIRUT – Syrian insurgents on Sunday kept up their shelling of government-controlled areas of Aleppo, killing at least seven people, including three children, state TV reported, and pushing their way with car bombs and tanks into new territory in the western part of the city. The Syrian government claimed the opposition fighters used toxic gas.

The attacks raised the death toll in the three-day old offensive to at least 41 civilians, including 16 children, according to the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an opposition monitoring group that has a network of activists in rebel and government controlled areas in Syria.

Clinton says she won’t be ‘knocked off course’ The ASSOCIATED PRESS WILTON MANORS, Fla. – Hillary Clinton vowed Sunday that she would not be “knocked off course” in the election’s final days, as she sought to push past a new FBI email inquiry in a sexting probe that delivered a late jolt to her race against Republican Donald Trump.

“I’m not stopping now, we’re just getting warmed up,” Clinton declared during a packed rally with gay and lesbian supporters in battleground Florida. “We’re not going to be distracted, no matter what our opponents throw at us.”

Trump campaigned in Las Vegas at a casino owned by billionaire GOP megadonor Sheldon Adelson and accused the Justice Department, without offering evidence, of trying to protect Clinton after the FBI’s discovery of new emails that could be related to its investigation into Clinton’s use of a private email server.

“Hillary has nobody but herself to blame for her mounting legal problems,” Trump said during a rally.

Clinton’s advisers and fellow Democrats pressured FBI Director James Comey anew to release more details about the emails, including whether Comey had even reviewed them himself.

The message was aimed at gathering more information about what the bureau is seeking from a computer that appears to belong to disgraced former New York Rep. Anthony Weiner, the estranged husband of Huma Abedin, one of Clinton’s closest advisers.

Tim Kaine, Clinton’s running mate, said Comey owed it to the public to be more forthcoming about the emails under review by the FBI with only nine days remaining before the Nov. 8 election. Calling Comey’s

Clinton’s campaign chairman, John Podesta, said Comey’s handling of the matter was “inappropriate.”

Clinton made unannounced stops Sunday in Florida at an early voting location, a Miami brunch spot and a soul food restaurant.

She also addressed a predominantly black church, where she spoke of overcoming disappointments.

“Scripture tells us to rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance and endurance produces character,” she said. “And character produces hope.”

Clinton made no direct mention of the new FBI investigation, which has created anxiety among Democrats.

But while she criticized the FBI for a lack of transparency during a campaign appearance on Saturday, she tried to shift her attention back to Trump on Sunday, casting him as a selfish billionaire with a striking lack of empathy.

Speaking to LGBT supporters in Wilton Manors,

she seized on a Washington Post report about Trump appearing at a fundraiser for children with HIV and pretending to be a donor, although he never gave money to the charity.

“It’s always Donald Trump first and everyone else last,” she said.

Comey’s actions Friday have roiled the White House race, energizing Trump as polls had showed him sliding and unnerving Democrats worried about the presidency and down-ballot congressional races.

In a letter to Congress on Friday, Comey said the FBI had recently come upon new emails while pursuing an unrelated case and was reviewing whether they were classified.

The FBI is looking into whether there was classified information on a device belonging to Weiner. Federal authorities in New York and North Carolina are investigating online communications between Weiner and a 15-year-old girl.

The developments prompted Trump to quip to his Las Vegas supporters, “We never thought we were going to say ‘thank you’ to Anthony Weiner,” he said.

Women ascendant

Twenty women now serve in the Sen-

ing after losing a bid for the Senate.

Maryland could join more than a dozen states with all-male delegations in Congress. If elected, McGinty would be the state’s first woman to serve in the Senate and could find herself the lone woman in Pennsylvania’s 20-member congressional delegation.

“Pennsylvania has a lot of work to do” to elect more women, Dittmar said, including better recruitment of female candidates at all levels. “They are still contending with a bit of a boys’ club in Pennsylvania.”

More minorities

Former Illinois Sen. Carol Moseley Braun, the first African-American woman elected to the Senate, said she was thrilled to see “people running for office who don’t fit the traditional role of wealthy, white and male.”

Braun and Sen. Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, are only the minority women who have served in the Senate.

Democrat Catherine Cortez Masto, who is running for an open seat in Nevada, joins Sanchez in seeking to become the nation’s first Latina senator, while Duckworth could become the Senate’s second Asian-American woman. Harris, the daughter of immigrants from India and Jamaica, could become just the second black woman elected to the Senate and the first with South Asian roots.

In the House, Democrat Pramila Jayapal of Washington state has a shot

at becoming the first Indian-American woman to serve in Congress, while former Delaware Labor Secretary Lisa Blunt Rochester is likely to become the first woman and first African-American to represent her state in Congress. In New York, Democratic state Sen. Adriano Espaillat could become the first native of the Dominican Republic to join Congress.

Ready for a comeback

Former Sens. Russ Feingold of Wisconsin and Evan Bayh of Indiana, both Democrats, are trying to win back their old seats, while a few ex-House members also are running for their former jobs: Democrats Colleen Hanabusa of Hawaii, Carol Shea-Porter of New Hampshire, Brad Schneider of Illinois, Joe Garcia of Florida and Pete Gallego of Texas.

Next generation

Republican Liz Cheney of Wyoming is widely expected to win her father’s old House seat, while Democrat Jimmy Panetta is running for an open seat in California representing the same region once served by his father, who had a long career in Washington as congressman, budget director, White House chief of staff, CIA director and defense secretary.

Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska is expected to easily win re-election to a Senate seat once held by her father, Frank Murkowski.

Iraq’s Shiite militias join Mosul push; bombs rock Baghdad

By QASSIM ABDUL–ZAHRA and BRIAN ROHAN The Associated Press IRBIL, Iraq – Thousands of fighters flocked to join Iraq’s state-sanctioned, Iran-backed Shiite militias on Sunday, advancing to cut off Islamic State extremists holed up near Mosul in northern Iraq while bombers killed at least 17 people in Shiite neighborhoods of Baghdad.

Militia spokesmen said that some 5,000 fighters had joined their push to encircle from the west the country’s second-largest city of Mosul, the IS militants’ last bastion in Iraq, which is linked by road to territory it holds in Syria. Karim al-Nuri of the militias’ umbrella group, known as the Popular Mobilization Units, and Jaafar al-Husseini, a spokesman for unit member the Hezbollah Brigades, said that a total of some 15,000 Shiite fighters were now participating in the battle.

The Iraqi military confirmed the figures, which, including army units,

militarized police, special forces and Kurdish fighters would bring the total number of anti-IS forces in the offensive to more than 40,000.

The two-week-old offensive to drive IS from Mosul had been long-anticipated, since the Sunni extremists stormed into the city in 2014 and drove out a much larger Iraqi force, albeit one that was demoralized from neglect and corruption. Troops are now converging on the city from all directions, although most fighting still is taking place in towns and villages on Mosul’s outskirts.

The operation is expected to take weeks, if not months.

The Popular Mobilization Units said they will not enter Mosul itself and will instead focus on retaking Tal Afar, a town to the west that had a Shiite majority before it fell to IS in 2014. They acknowledge having help from Iranian military advisers.

Iraqi forces moving toward the city have made uneven progress since the offensive began Oct. 17. They are four miles from the edge of Mosul on the east-

ern front, where Iraq’s special forces are leading the charge. But advances have been slower in the south, with government forces still 20 miles from the city.

The U.S. military estimates IS has 3,000 to 5,000 fighters inside Mosul and another 1,500-2,500 in the city’s outer defensive belt. The total number includes around 1,000 foreign fighters.

In the hours following the announcement of Shiite reinforcements, five explosions rocked predominantly Shiite neighborhoods of the capital, Baghdad, killing at least 17 people and wounding more than 60, police said.

Police officials said the deadliest of the bombings, a parked car bomb, hit a popular fruit and vegetable market near a school in the northwestern Hurriyah area, killing at least 10 and wounding 34. Other attacks hit the northern Shaab neighborhood, as well as traders’ markets in the Topchi and Zataria areas as well as the poorer Sadr City district.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to brief reporters.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the blasts. But IS has stepped up its attacks in response to the offensive in Mosul, and it was possible the group was targeting Shiite areas in retaliation for the Mosul offensive.

Meanwhile, the Iraqi air force said it had landed a C-130 transport aircraft at Qayara air base, on the southern approach to Mosul, opening a key resupply route. IS forces had been leaving explosive booby-traps to slow the advance on Mosul, and the announcement suggested the airstrip was now cleared of such danger.

Earlier, Turkey’s president warned that his government will be closely monitoring the Shiite militias’ behavior in northern Iraq and seek to safeguard the rights of ethnic Turkmens there.

In statements carried by the staterun Anadolu agency, Recep Tayyip Erdogan told reporters that the militia group could prompt a Turkish response if it “terrorizes” the Iraqi-Turkmen town of Tal Afar, where it is headed in its push around Mosul.

WASHINGTON – No matter who wins the presidency, women and minorities are poised to make gains in the next Congress. The offspring of two pillars of the Washington establishment – former Vice President Dick Cheney and ex-CIA Director Leon Panetta – have a good chance to resume their families’ service in Congress.

The number of women in the Senate could increase by four or more above the current 20, with as many as three female minorities. It would be the highest number of women in the Senate in history, but nowhere near the percentage of females in the general population.

A record 167 women are running for the House. While outcomes are uncertain, analysts predict the number of women in the House for the 115th Congress that convenes Jan. 3 will exceed the current 84.

Racial minorities are expected to make historic gains, although Congress is likely to remain overwhelmingly white, male and middle-aged.

The new Congress could have some familiar names, with several former members seeking their old seats.

A look at how the demographics of Congress may change following the Nov. 8 elections.

ate, a total likely to rise next year.

Kelly Dittmar, an assistant professor at Rutgers University and a scholar at the Center for American Women and Politics, said female candidates may benefit from running with Hillary Clinton at the top of the ticket – and from sexist comments made by Donald Trump. But she said the major boost is from Clinton’s standing. Twelve of the 16 women running for Senate this year are Democrats.

“Democratic candidates will be helped by a strong Democrat on top of the ticket,” Dittmar said. She cited Deborah Ross in North Carolina, Katie McGinty in Pennsylvania and Rep. Tammy Duckworth in Illinois as likely beneficiaries of possible Clinton coattails.

There are two states where a woman is guaranteed to win: New Hampshire, where incumbent Republican Sen. Kelly Ayotte faces Democratic Gov. Maggie Hassan, and California, where two Democrats – State’s Attorney General Kamala Harris and Rep. Loretta Sanchez – square off.

Not all the news for women is positive, said Dittmar, who has written research briefs outlining the prospect for female candidates in the House and Senate. Based on current polls, Maryland’s 10-member congressional delegation is likely to revert to all-male, which Dittmar called especially notable because Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., holds the record as the longest-serving woman in Congress. Rep. Donna Edwards is retir-

RIGHT: Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton pauses while speaking at a rally Friday in Des Moines, Iowa. A little more than a week from Election Day, Clinton has several ways to reach the 270 electoral votes needed to win the White House, while Trump needs a dramatic rebound in states where the Democratic nominee appears to have the upper hand.

Most routes to 270 blocked for Trump

By THOMAS BEAUMONT The Associated Press DES MOINES, Iowa – The race for president reaches its final mile next week amid October surprises, but on the road to the 270 electoral votes needed to win the White House, Hillary Clinton still has several ways to find her way to Washington.

The journey Donald Trump must take is perilous, at best.

Even as some national preference polls tighten, and voters wrestle with news the FBI has found new emails that may – or may not – be related to Clinton’s use of a private server as secretary of state, the billionaire Republican needs a dramatic final-stretch rebound in states where the Democratic nominee appears to have the upper hand.

The latest Associated Press analysis of the Electoral College map rates states worth 278 electoral votes as safely Democratic or leaning Clinton’s way. That analysis is based on preference polling, recent electoral history, demographic trends and campaign priorities such as advertising, travel and on-the-ground staff.

In short, that means Clinton doesn’t need to win a state now rated as a tossup to win the White House.

Trump needs to win them all – and then go on to pick off some states that are now in Clinton’s column.

Impossible, it’s not. The effects of the FBI Director James Comey’s Friday letter to Congress, informing lawmakers of developments possibly related to the Clinton email case, may not be known until Election Day itself.

Trump leapt on the news this week-

‘‘

Donald Trump is so off the charts, he’s wiped out 20 years of [GOP] outreach not only to Latinos, but Texas’ growing Asian vote. Given the voting we’re seeing, Clinton will run within five percentage points of Trump.

That is, if she loses.”

Richard Murray, University of Houston political science professor

end, but so, too, did Clinton, casting Comey’s decision to act so close to Nov. 8 as “deeply troubling” as she sought to rally Democratic voters.

So, then, what is the path for Trump to chin himself to 270 votes? He’ll have to start by carrying the reliably Republican states in the West, the Great Plains and in South that make up the GOP’s Electoral College base.

From there, he’d need a run of victories in states now viewed as a toss-up.

Among them, North Carolina has received as much attention from both campaigns as any – traditional battlegrounds Florida and Ohio included.

For good reason: GOP nominee Mitt Romney won the state in 2012, after President Barack Obama’s historic win there in 2008.

But after trailing in mail ballots, Democrats surged ahead of Republi-

cans in ballots cast after the start of in-person early voting last week. Meanwhile, a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll gives Clinton a 6-point edge in the state.

A win in North Carolina, and Florida and Ohio, too, still isn’t enough to get Trump to 270. He also needs to win states now leaning Clinton’s way.

In Nevada, Trump’s hardline position on immigration has turned off many in the state’s large Hispanic population – giving Clinton an advantage.

Likewise, tens of thousands more Democrats than Republicans had voted early in the state as of last week.

In New Hampshire, the state’s politics are disproportionately influenced by women: the state’s governor, two senators and a majority of its state Senate are women. Trump has long struggled with college-educated women, a situation made worse by a string of recent allegations of unwanted sexual advances or sexual assault involving the Republican.

“At this point, it’s becoming increasingly difficult for Trump to win the state of New Hampshire. He’s running out of time,” said Ryan Williams, a GOP consultant in the state, echoing others. “He’s going to lose.”

All of these scenarios also assume Trump carries each of the states his party’s nominees have won for decades – a firewall in which cracks are starting to appear.

In Arizona, where Republican nominees have won all but once since 1952, Clinton has begun a late-game $2 million advertising blitz and tapped into a robust state Democratic organization. She has pulled even with Trump in some surveys, and slightly ahead in

others, while early voting favors Democrats, as does the state’s large and growing Hispanic population.

Clinton is scheduled to campaign there this week, following first lady Michelle Obama’s large rally in Phoenix two weeks ago.

Trump also cannot count on Utah, carried by a Republican in the past 12 elections. Independent candidate Evan McMullin, a former CIA officer from Utah, is running even in the state, where the GOP nominee is unpopular with the state’s influential Mormon population.

But perhaps the most surprising development has been increasingly competitive signs in Texas. Three polls in the past two weeks have shown Clinton within five percentage points of Trump The Lone Star State isn’t the lightest shade of blue on even the most hopeful Democrat’s map. But Richard Murray, the political science professor at University of Houston who conducts the school’s presidential poll, said the factors helping Clinton in Arizona and North Carolina do so in Texas, too.

Clinton has the support of nearly two-thirds of the state’s Hispanic voters, who have swelled voter ranks since the 2012 election. And Trump’s comments and alleged actions toward women have chilled his support among typically conservative, college-educated white women in the Houston and Dallas suburbs, Murray said.

“Donald Trump is so off the charts, he’s wiped out 20 years of [GOP] outreach not only to Latinos, but Texas’ growing Asian vote,” Murray said.

“Given the voting we’re seeing, Clinton will run within five percentage points of Trump. That is, if she loses.”

Pentagon’s bonus clawback

The U.S. military has always prided itself on taking care of its own. But for 10,000 members of the California National Guard who are being made to repay their re-enlistment bonuses, that tradition rings hollow.

Needing forces for the Iraq and Afghan wars over the last decade, the guard took part in a nationwide effort to retain troops by offering bonuses of $15,000 or more. The program was supposed to be only for specialists in high demand, but the California Guard mistakenly extended the payments to basically anybody.

After the Pentagon caught the error, California officials began demanding payback of bonuses and college loans, sometimes with interest.

After the Los Angeles Times exposed this last weekend, lawmakers in Congress and California as well as high-ranking military officials cried foul. The California Guard insisted it had no legal recourse to forgive the loans, until Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter intervened on Wednesday, suspending all collections efforts. That’s a good start, but Congress or the Pentagon should also forgive the debts -- and make whole those who have begun paying back the bonuses, many of whom have had to sell their cars or take out second mortgages.

This is not the only recent scandal involving military bonuses. In the late 2000s, the National Guard began paying some members $8,500 for every new enlistee they recruited. The program became rife with fraud, ultimately costing taxpayers about $100 million and resulting in more than 100 prosecutions in several states.

These shameful episodes raise larger questions: Why does the military give out bonuses in the first place? Is there a better way to reward valuable service?

Back when foreign wars were placing great stress on the military’s manpower, widespread recruitment and retention bonuses were understandable. But by 2011, the Pentagon had accumulated more than 60 types of special pay, totaling more than $1 billion a year. Now that all services are trimming uniformed personnel, the bonus programs should be pared, then focused more tightly on the skills most in need.

Consider that today’s recruits are eligible for up to $40,000 in cash bonuses. That’s a lot of money to spend on mostly young people with no actual military experience who may turn out to be duds in basic training. Instead, the Pentagon should emphasize retaining members at the end of their first or second enlistments, after they’ve served for six to 12 years. Carter did the right thing in halting the California clawbacks. His successor should recognize the need to reform the entire bonus system.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

IT’S YOUR WRITE Library used book sale suspended To the Editor: The Friends of the Crystal Lake Library (FOCLL) must sadly announce the suspension of our annual used book sale.

Seven years ago, with the library under pressure to maximize collection and personnel space, our book sale storage area was eliminated and sale floor space reduced.

Our largest fundraiser and “literary recycling” effort needed a new venue.

VIEWS Megan McArdle worldview. And that will create a demand for conservative media. The talent, the donors, the customers – all will tend to be folks who are irritated with the status quo, which is to say, hardcore conservatives.

How do you get and keep those folks? By being strongly ideological. You end up with a liberal mainstream media that is large and weakly politically biased, and a much smaller conservative media that is strongly political and focuses almost entirely on stories with a political angle, to keep its readership.

Conservative media, in other words, became an ideological ghetto. And ghettos often develop pathologies. What’s remarkable is not that so much of the right-wing media is so vitriolic and prone to conspiracy-mongering; what’s remarkable is that so many of those outlets remain committed to careful reporting and debunking things like the Obama birth certificate nonsense, rather than simply pandering to their readers.

I’m not blaming liberals for the rise of the conservative-media ghetto. “Blame” implies that someone made a decision to make this happen. The thing is, no one made any such decision. There was no secret plan.

There was certainly no liberal media conspiracy, just an iterative process controlled by no one: Being human, liberals naturally prefer the work of folks who agree with them, so those are the folks they tend to hire and promote.

As they became increasingly dominant in the media, the trend became self-reinforcing. Fewer conservatives wanted to enter the castle in the first place, and few were allowed to. Now the castle residents are peering into the swamp and wondering what the heck is going on out there.

But whoever is to blame for the problem, yelling at the residents of the swamp to behave themselves is probably not going to fix it. What would fix the problem is if the folks in the castle made a concerted effort to open the doors and persuade some of the swamp-dwellers to move inside. Not just to move inside, but to help run the place, pushing back on liberal pieties and dubious claims with the same fervor that liberals push back on conservative ones.

It’s not wholly implausible. The opinion operations of mainstream media outlets have long sought out and amplified conservative voices, in op-eds and via regular columnists like George Will at The Washington Post and Ross Douthat (preceded by Bill Kristol) at the New York Times. The news side of media outlets could follow suit.

Unlike the “yell at them until they stop” strategy, this at least has a chance of working.

How can the Republican Party keep another Trump candidacy from derailing its future electoral chances? Forget messing around with the primary system. If Republicans want a party that can win, says Catherine Rampell of The Washington Post, the first thing they need to do is to “drain the right-wing media swamp.”

“It is, after all, the right-wing radio, TV and Internet fever swamps that have gotten them into this mess,” she writes, “that have led to massive misinformation, disinformation and cynicism among Republican voters. And draining those fever swamps is the only way to get them out of it.”

I could point out that Rampell is remarkably ungenerous in ignoring the many serious conservative journalists who spoke out early and often against Donald Trump, including an entire “Against Trump” issue of the National Review, the elder statesman of right-wing journalism. None of this had much effect on folks like Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity, nor does it seem to have appreciably damaged Trump.

It’s unclear how the Republican establishment critiquing Fox News and talk radio would be any more effective.

Let me suggest a better strategy. Liberal journalists who want to drain the “fever swamps” should not be pointing the finger at Republican politicians. If they want to get people out of the swamp, they’ll have to make room in the castle.

The media is overwhelmingly liberal. It tends to mirror the left-to-center-left spectrum of the social class from which most journalists are drawn. That affects coverage, which rightwing readers pick up on.

Yes, liberal journalists, I’m saying that the media is biased, and I know you don’t see any evidence of that, because that’s how bias works: You don’t notice it when you share the bias. No, my loonier Republican readers, I am not confirming your belief that journalists deliberately slant their coverage to achieve political ends or even just to provoke you.

Rather, the bias operates in what topics people choose to cover, how strenuously they interrogate facts, how skeptical they are of various claims about the future. As social psychologist Jonathan Haidt says, when we see a fact or a claim that comports with our ideological beliefs, we ask: “Can I believe this?” When we see one that conflicts with it, we ask: “Must I believe this?”

The process mostly operates subconsciously; it is entirely possible to believe that you are being strenuously fair while setting the bar higher for believing “conservative” stories and liking conservative politicians than for “liberal” ones. An unlikeable liberal politician will still be disliked; an irrefutable “conservative” fact will still be accepted. But in the mushy middle, the ground will tilt toward liberalism.

As long as there is liberal hegemony over the media – and there is – its coverage will read as liberal to someone with a different

Device reduces menstrual flow Dear Dr. K: I bleed very heavily during my menstrual periods. Is there anything that can be done about this? Or do I just have to put up with the discomfort and inconvenience every month?

Dear Reader: Excessive menstrual bleeding (the medical term is menorrhagia) is a common problem. In my experience, a few primary-care doctors tell their patients just to “live with it.” Not surprisingly, obstetrician/gynecologists are more likely to recognize excessive menstrual bleeding as a problem that needs treatment.

Many women take medication or hormones or have surgery for this problem.

But a recent study suggests an implantable device also may be able to help control excessive menstrual bleeding.

“Excessive blood flow” can be tricky to define since actual measurement is difficult. Your menstrual bleeding might be excessive if you: • Have to change a pad every hour for at least three hours; • Have to get up during the night to change a pad; • Pass large clots; • Develop anemia from blood loss.

It’s also important to consider the impact of heavy menstrual bleeding on your life. You may have menorrhagia if heavy bleeding impairs your social, physical or emotional life.

Current treatment options include taking hormones to help regulate bleeding. Medications also are available. One drug encourages blood to clot; another blocks production of a substance involved in menstrual bleeding. Another option is surgery to remove the lining of the uterus or the uterus itself (hysterectomy). Many women try multiple treatments in search of one that works.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff A recent study compared existing treatments to a new approach. The study included nearly 600 women with menorrhagia. The women randomly were divided into two groups. One group received standard treatments with hormones or medicines. The other group received an intrauterine device (IUD) that releases a hormone inside the uterus. The IUD, sold under the brand name Mirena, is a type of birth control. Many women using the hormonal IUD for birth control have found it reduces menstrual bleeding.

The study found women assigned to treatment with the IUD: • Had a significant reduction in symptoms over six months.

• Reported a bigger reduction in symptoms than those in the usual treatment group.

• Continued to have improved symptoms for at least two years.

• Reported improvements in: – practical difficulties – social and family life – work and daily routine – psychological and physical health One study, even a large and carefully conducted study like this one, rarely changes practice overnight. But I’m cautiously optimistic this new approach – hormonal IUDs – could become a new treatment option to improve the lives of women with menorrhagia.

DEAR ABBY My 34-year-old daughter, “MarJeanne tha,” is a single Phillips mom. I adore my granddaughter.

Martha needs me to give her $500 a month, plus cover emergencies (new tires, hospital bills for baby, etc.) to get by. She has said repeatedly she wants to have another baby before she’s 35.

Abby, it’s a financial burden to help her as much as we have. My husband (her stepdad) believes, along with me, we should help until her finances improve. Martha is awash in student debt and has a low-paying job. She lives 12 hours away, so we have to fly out to see them, which means we don’t see them often.

My question: How can I tell her having a second baby when she can’t support the first is something I can’t handle financially? I am becoming resentful. Our retirement has been dismal because all our money is going to her.

My daughter has a hair-trigger temper and would use access to my granddaughter as leverage to keep the money coming. I’m appalled she’s in this position and upset I have to pay for her choices. – Appalled In Ohio Dear Appalled: You don’t have to pay for your daughter’s choices. Tell Martha as an adult it is her responsibility – not yours – to provide for herself and her child, and if she becomes pregnant before her finances improve to the point she’s self-supporting, not to expect one more penny from you.

Please consider starting to reduce the amount you give her and set a deadline beyond which you no longer will supplement her income. Martha may need to find a second job, but that’s better than you spending all your retirement money shouldering her responsibilities.

Expect her to be angry. If she threatens to blackmail you with access to your grandchild, tell her the person she’ll be punishing is the little one, not you, and stick to your guns.

Dear Abby: My husband has bought different pieces of equipment over the years. He recently bought a small tractor he’s very proud of and enjoys using around our property. He also has bought a large trailer he often uses to haul his equipment and other things.

His problem is friends who seem to think they can help themselves to his stuff. They actually have the audacity to say, “I may borrow your tractor, trailer, etc., tomorrow.” I find this to be rude in that they are not asking – they are telling him they will.

I told him to say he doesn’t loan his equipment out, but he can’t seem to be able to say that. Do you have a good comeback he could use without offending his friends? – Frazzled Wife Dear Frazzled: You, not your husband, appear to be the person with the problem. Nowhere in your letter did you mention he thinks he has one. If he resents what these friends are doing, a solution might be for him to tell them to talk to you about borrowing the equipment, so you can refuse for him.

Chemtech Plastics, Inc.

Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, a Hungarian-American biochemist and Nobel Prize winner who shot himself in the arm during World War I so that he could finish his medical studies, said, “Discovery consists of looking at the same thing as everyone else and thinking something different.”

In bridge, if everyone had the same thoughts, the bidding and play of a given deal would always be the same. But, of course, that doesn’t happen. Also, several deals give both sides, declarer and the defense, a chance to do something clever.

Today, we will look at the declarer-play in this deal. Tomorrow, we will turn to the defenders. South is in five diamonds. How should he plan the play after West cashes two spade tricks, then shifts to a heart?

The bidding was complicated.

North had to pass on the first round because he had no five-card suit and was too short in hearts for a takeout double. North’s second-round twospade cue-bid showed a strong hand: at least a good 12 points opposite South’s balancing double. North’s three-spade cue-bid was an unsuccessful attempt to get into three no-trump.

To make the contract, South had to play the trump suit without loss.

Who had the diamond queen?

Declarer counted up the high-card points. He had 15, and dummy held 13. That left only 12 outstanding, but since West had opened the bidding, he had to have the diamond queen.

South played a diamond to his king at trick four, then ran the diamond jack through West. When that won, declarer drew the last trump and claimed.

Do you have 1 year of manufacturing experience?

CUBS TOP INDIANS IN GAME 5, 3-2, TO SEND SERIES BACK TO CLEVELAND / 2-4

2 Indians lead series, 3-2

Even in W.S., HR balls get tossed back CHICAGO – Every fan at Wrigley Field wants to catch a baseball at least once in his or her life.

Snag a foul ball? Awesome.

Grab a souvenir ball tossed by a player? Really cool.

Catch a Cubs home run ball? Dream come true.

VIEWS However, one big, giganTom tic, humongous Musick exception exists to this rule.

If the opposing team – in this case, the Cleveland Indians – hits a home run, the bleacher bums want nothing to do with it.

To hear them tell it, you would be better off catching Ebola.

“It’s so disgusting,” said Anisa Ali, an otherwise pleasant 54-year-old woman from Frankfort. “It’s appalling.”

But it’s a baseball – a World Series baseball, no less. Why on Earth would you throw it away?

“Because we’re Cubs fans,” said Ann Goeglein, 56, of Orland Park. “We don’t want an Indians home run.”

For proof, look no further than Game 5 of the World Series on Sunday.

With two outs in the second inning, Indians third baseman Jose Ramirez clobbered a pitch a half-dozen rows into the left-field bleachers.

About three seconds later, a fan angrily heaved the ball back over the wall. Cubs shortstop Addison Russell caught it on the fly. Thousands of strangers cheered in approval.

Some say the tradition of throwing back opposing home runs started with the original bleacher bums in 1969.

Others think it was during the 1970s when fans of hapless Cubs teams wanted something, anything, to applaud.

Regardless, the tradition is specific to Wrigley, and it doesn’t seem to be going away anytime soon.

“They always make the announcement before the game: ‘Don’t throw things onto the field, blah-blah-blah,’ ” said Jim Dorf, 57, of Mount Prospect, as he sat in his bleacher seat in left field.

“We all laugh at it. We’re like, ‘Yeah, if we throw the ball back, they’re not going to throw us out.’ ” Peer pressure also plays a role in the tradition. Whenever an opposing home run lands in the bleachers, chants quickly follow.

THROW. IT. BACK. THROW. IT. BACK. THROW. IT. BACK.

Fans cheer during the fourth inning of Game 5 of the World Series between the Indians and Cubs on Sunday night at Wrigley Field. The Cubs won, 3-2, to cut the Indians’ series lead to 3-2.

World Series Cubs vs. Indians (Best-of-7; x-if necessary) All games televised by FOX Game 1 Indians 6, Cubs 0 Game 2 Cubs 5, Indians 1 Game 3 Indians 1, Cubs 0 Game 4 Indians 7, Cubs 2 Game 5 Cubs 3, Indians 2 Game 6: Tuesday Cubs at Indians, 7:08 p.m.

Game 7: Wednesday-x Cubs at Indians, 7:08 p.m.

What would you do if thousands of beer-fueled lunatics were screaming at you in unison?

“I’d be worried that if I didn’t throw it back, they might throw me back,” said Clint Stratos, 27, of Schaumburg. “It’s

tradition. You’ve got to throw it back.”

Typically, the rejected ball lands somewhere in the middle of the outfield. Fans who are blessed with strong arms are able to reach the shallow outfield and sometimes even the edge of the infield.

“I’d probably wait to get the crowd into it,” Stratos said. “I’d wave my arms and throw it as fast as I can, like in ‘Rookie of the Year.’ ” Some of the Cubs’ younger fans struggle with the decision. Take 13-year-old Isaac Pitner of Victoria, Minnesota. He watched the game from the left-field bleachers with his dad, Nate, and his 10-year-old brother, Eli. The boys brought their gloves with the hope of catching a big league baseball. They never have caught one.

What if that baseball happened to come off the bat of an Indians player?

“I’d probably keep it,” Isaac Pitner said. “It would be hard and kind of sad that they hit a home run in a game like this, but at least you would get a ball.”

The Pitner brothers agreed they would throw back a regular-season ball, but not a World Series ball. Hopefully,

they said, they would catch a Cubs home run ball and avoid the predicament.

Or how about another strategy: Throw back a decoy baseball.

Dorf started sitting in the bleachers in the 1970s. He became a full-time season ticket holder in the 1980s. During the past few decades, he has seen a little bit of everything.

“People do the ball transfer,” Dorf said. “The veterans have batting practice balls or little league balls or whatever. You hand it off and you throw that ball back, and you keep the real baseball.”

And you thought steroids were scandalous.

The next time the Cubs return to Wrigley Field, it will be April. As he does every season, Dorf will take his seat in the bleachers. If an opposing home run finds him, he will catch and release it faster than a fisherman.

“It’s pride,” Dorf said. “Throw the ball back. It’s not yours.”

2 Indians lead series, 3-2

Series goes back to Cleveland Chapman preserves Cubs’ 1-run lead with an 8-out save

CUBS 3, INDIANS 2

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com CHICAGO – It took three tries – and nearly three innings from their closer – but the Cubs won a World Series game at Wrigley Field for the first time in 71 years Sunday night.

Just in time to win an all-expenses-paid return trip to Cleveland with their season alive, if not kicking, after a 3-2 nail-biter over the Indians in Game 5.

Cubs postseason ace Jon Lester started this must-win game, but the pitching story of survival on this night was the biggest – and longest – save of Aroldis Chapman’s career.

The left-hander acquired from the Yankees at the trade deadline for the Cubs’ top prospect retired eight of the final 10 Indians batters of the game, four on strikeouts, to nurse a one-run lead all the way to the shores of Lake Erie.

“Gutsy,” teammate Anthony Rizzo called it. “He told me it’s big [guts].”

The only thing bigger might have been the magnitude of the Cubs’ first actual must-win game of the year, an elimination game created by back-toback, low-wattage losses to the Indians on Friday and Saturday.

It set up perhaps the most fitting way for manager Joe Maddon’s team to head out of town for the final time this year – their final road trip starting on Halloween with a late flight to allow players to trick-or-treat with their kids.

The posted schedule for Monday’s trip included the words: “Halloween costumes are encouraged.”

Not that it matters what they wear.

They all will be dressed up like players with a chance again to win their team’s first World Series title since 1908.

“It’s awesome. But we’ve still got some work to do,” leadoff man Dexter Fowler said. “We’ve got two more games.

This is a step in the right direction.”

Last year’s National League Cy Young winner, Jake Arrieta, starts for the Cubs in Game 6 on Tuesday going after his second victory in Cleveland in this series, with right-hander Josh Tomlin starting for the Indians.

If the Cubs win that one, it all comes

Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant hits a home run against the Indians in the fourth inning of Game 5 of the World Series on Sunday night at Wrigley Field. The Cubs won, 3-2, to cut the Indians’ series lead to 3-2. down to Game 7 on Wednesday with the NL’s ERA leader, Kyle Hendricks, against the best starter for any team this postseason, Corey Kluber.

“Why not us?” said MVP favorite Kris Bryant, whose leadoff homer in the fourth tied the score Sunday and opened the decisive, three-run rally.

“I feel like we play our best with our backs up against the wall.

“Hopefully, we can get out there and win Game 6, because you never know what can happen in Game 7. But we’re all about writing our own history. This team is a special one, and we look at so many times throughout the year where we haven’t been playing good, but I feel like we turn that around.”

The Cubs scored only once in their final game of the year at Wrigley Field,

but the three runs in the fourth were enough for this win – and more than they had scored in the previous two games combined.

After the Indians closed to within a run on Francisco Lindor’s two-out RBI single in the sixth, Maddon got as aggressive as he has in two years managing the Cubs.

He pinch-hit lefty hitting catcher Miguel Montero for starter David Ross with two out and nobody on in the bottom of the sixth.

And after Montero struck out to end the inning, he emptied his bench of able-bodied catchers by sending rookie Willson Contreras into the game to catch rookie Carl Edwards Jr. on a double switch to start the top of the seventh – pulling Lester at 90 pitches with a 3-2 lead.

Edwards immediately gave up a leadoff single to Mike Napoli, followed by a passed ball by Contreras to put the potential tying run in scoring position with nobody out.

Then, as soon as Edwards got Carlos Santana to fly to left for the first out, Maddon pulled a Terry Francona and went to closer Aroldis Chapman for the would-be eight-out save.

It was the first time Chapman had been used as early as the seventh inning since he became a regular closer in May 2012.

But the runners he allowed were on a two-out hit batter in the seventh and a one-out single in the eighth that would have been an out if he covered first on Rizzo’s diving stop.

Instead, Rajai Davis stole second and third, threatening to tie the score – before Chapman struck out Lindor with a 101-mph fastball to leave him there.

We’ve got to go on another one-game win streak,” Rizzo said. “We have to sell out and do whatever it takes to win. We feel good. We’re obviously happy right now, but we’ve got to gear it up for Tuesday.”

Dexter Fowler even suggested they’d make a team trip back to Wrigley just for one last celebration.

“We’ve still got some work to do,” he said. “But I think the [clubhouse] party room will be utilized when we win a World Series.”

2 Indians lead series, 3-2

Cubs – ‘big boys’ – alive, well CHICAGO – The Cubs looked dead. If you had put a mirror to their mouths to check for respiration, all you would have seen was the reflection of blue lips.

They had lost two straight World Series games at Wrigley Field. Making contact with a baseball looked like the hardest VIEWS math problem in Rick the world, Morrissey and none of the Cubs appeared to be on the verge of hitting or turning into Albert Einstein.

Then Sunday happened. And the Cubs are very much alive.

Well, certainly more alive than when Game 5 started. They pulled out a 3-2, Aroldis Chapman-fueled victory over the Indians at Wrigley Field, cutting the series deficit to 3-2 with Games 6 and 7 to take place in Cleveland.

Stranger things have happened. At the moment, I can’t think of anything stranger than a team that hasn’t won a World Series in 107 years coming back from a 3-1 series hole to change history. But I’m open to the possibility.

The Cubs certainly are. They also are open to just about anything, this being Joe Maddon’s team. So with it do-or-die, in came Chapman, the team’s closer, with one out in the seventh inning and the Cubs clinging to that 3-2 lead. This is a pitcher who has made it clear that he just wants to pitch the ninth. He had grumbled this season when Maddon brought him in to pitch the eighth. So the seventh, with the temperature at a cool 50? Crazy?

Maddon had informed Chapman of the possibility Sunday afternoon.

“I told him, ‘I’m ready to go,’ ” Chapman said.

He struck out Jose Ramirez, then hit Brandon Guyer to give the Indians men on first and second. Chapman then got Roberto Perez to ground out, and everyone at Wrigley breathed again.

And so it went in the eighth. With Rajai Davis standing on third, thanks to a single and two stolen bases, Chapman struck out Francisco Lindor to end the threat. Wrigley, sitting on the launch pad, lifted off.

Then the ninth inning, fans up on their feet, no one with a thought of sitting. Chapman got Mike Napoli to ground out to short. Now Carlos Santana. Would Chapman have enough

stamina? His second pitch to Santana was 100 mph. Stamina: Sufficient.

Santana flew out to right.

And finally Ramirez, who had homered off Jon Lester in the second inning. Chapman blew him away on three pitches Count it: 22/3 innings, no runs, one hit and four strikeouts.

“That’s exactly the reason we got

But the biggest boy of all was Chapman. Lackey is right. That’s what the playoffs are about. Chapman put aside whatever reservations he might have had about the extra workload, realizing that reputations are made in the postseason. If the Cubs win this series, what Chapman did Sunday will be the stuff of legend in Chicago.

So now the World Series moves out of town. Jake Arrieta will pitch Game 6, and the Cubs will need a biggest-boy performance from him, too. And should the Cubs win that game, they’ll have a Game 7 date with Indians pitcher Corey Kluber, who already has beaten them twice. Then it will be up to Cubs hitters to find a way. And it will be up to Kyle Hendricks to pitch the way he has all season. Like a biggest boy.

“Why not us?” Bryant said.

Good question, but that’s getting ahead of things. There’s a Game 6 to play. Amazing, after the Cubs had looked like goners.

Time for one more road trip. Cleveland never has looked so good.

John Lackey calls the postseason “big-boy games.” Sunday was a biggest-boy game.

Lester, who gave up two runs in six innings, was one of them. So was Bryant, whose fourth-inning homer finally • Rick Morrissey is a Chicago kicked the Cubs’ offense into gear after Sun-Times columnist. Write to him at those miserable Games 3 and 4. rmorrissey@suntimes.com.

Upset win earns Huntley another home game Oladipo suffers ankle injury; Coss’ season likely over

By JOE STEVENSON joestevenson@shawmedia.com

Local 2nd-round playoff schedule Class 8A No. 25 Fremd (7-3) at No. 24 Huntley (7-3), 1 p.m. Saturday Class 7A No. 12 Batavia (8-2) at No. 28 Jacobs (6-4), 2 p.m. Saturday Class 6A No. 1 Prairie Ridge (10-0) at No. 9 Montini (7-3), 1 p.m. Saturday No. 6 Grayslake North (8-2) at No. 3 CaryGrove (9-1), 1 p.m. Saturday Class 5A No. 6 Hillcrest (8-2) at No. 14 Marian Central (6-4), 7 p.m. Friday Class 4A No. 2 Johnsburg (10-0) at No. 10 Manteno (7-3), 7 p.m. Friday • Times are tentative and will be verified by the IHSA on Monday.

Huntley won a first-round game in the 2015 Class 8A playoffs, but might have earned even more respect for what it did Friday night.

The Red Raiders went on the road this time and knocked off traditional 8A power Stevenson, 21-20, in their first-round football playoff game.

The victory over the Patriots, a program that won the Class 8A state championship two years ago, will grab the attention of football fans across the state, more so than last year’s rout over Miley (7-3) will play host to No. 25 Fremd nooka as a heavy first-round favorite.

The win means No. 24-seeded Hunt- (7-3) in the second round this week.

“Stevenson’s a great program.

When I was at Fremd, we played them a few times,” Huntley coach Matt Zimolzak said. “It’s an excellent program. To come out here and get a win means a lot to us. We get the next one to play now.”

The players longed to get another game at home and were not surprised at what they were able to accomplish.

“We usually play our best against the spread (offenses),” linebacker Charlie Zornow said. “I love playing spread. I love tough opponents. I want to play the best. I believe, just as they’re a powerhouse, so is Huntley. When we come out here, they should be scared.”

Stevenson hit Huntley with two first-quarter touchdowns before the Raiders settled in and started getting stops. On one second-quarter drive, they forced a punt, which was fumbled and recovered by Stevenson, but stopped the Patriots again.

Proud Sponsor of Athlete of the Week

Who is the Northwest Herald Football Player of the Week?

Here are the nominees for Northwest Herald Football Player of the Week until 7 p.m. Tuesday.

BOBBY COLLINS Cary-Grove, QB Collins has taken over as the Trojans’ rushing leader and had another big game in C-G’s 34-8 win over Wheeling in the Class 6A playoffs Friday night.

Collins had a 73-yard touchdown run in the first quarter and added a 9-yard scoring run in the fourth.

He finished with 25 carries for 170 yards as C-G moved to 9-1.

CHRIS KATRENICK Jacobs, QB Katrenick does not throw as often since the Golden Eagles have concentrated more on their running game, but he remains quite efficient. He completed 9 of 12 passes for 232 yards and three touchdowns as Jacobs defeated Chicago Lincoln Park, 51-8, Saturday in their Class 7A playoff game.

ERIC MOONEY Huntley, QB Mooney ran 21 times for 147 yards and completed 9 of 14 passes for 117 yards and a touchdown as No. 24-seeded Huntley knocked off No. 9 Stevenson, 21-20, in their Class 8A playoff game. Mooney had a dazzling 74yard touchdown run in the second quarter. He hit Daniel Frederick with a 4-yard toss for the decisive score in the third quarter.

JOE PERHATS Prairie Ridge, LB Perhats had eight tackles, two tackles for losses, one sack and one fumble recovery as the Wolves beat Deerfield, 41-0, in their Class 6A playoff game Saturday.

Perhats has been instrumental with a defense that has three straight shutouts and has allowed only 26 points total in the past seven games.

NICK TEGTMAN Marian Central, DB Tegtman had two interceptions as the Hurricanes rolled to a 49-14 win Friday night in their Class 5A playoff victory over Chicago Payton. Marian built a 49-0 lead before Payton scored two fourth-quarter touchdowns.

“What really hit us was, for the seniors, if we win this game, we get one more home game, possibly the last Friday Night Lights of our lives,” defensive end Tony Bucaro said. “It really just set the tone, that urge to go out there and give it all.”

Big comeback: Huntley defensive end Olalere Oladipo, who is committed to Illinois, suffered a sprained right ankle in the first quarter and missed more than half the game. On the sideline, Oladipo began testing the joint with some light sprints, although he still was hobbling.

An assistant coach said, “Hey, 8, if you can go, go. This is it!”

Oladipo came back in the fourth quarter and ended up with one of three consecutive sacks on Stevenson’s final play. After Bucaro, Caleb Jones and Oladipo all got quarterback Aidan O’Connell, Huntley’s first sacks of the game, the Raiders’ offense killed the remaining time.

Tough loss: Huntley likely will lose receiver Alec Coss for the rest of the playoffs. Coss appeared to have suffered a broken collarbone on his left side in the first half. He came through with one huge play, turning a short pass into a 58-yard gain that set up the Raiders’ first touchdown.

End of a great ride: McHenry reached the playoffs for the first time since 2007, and first-year coach Nat Zunkel made a point to thank the seniors after Saturday’s Class 7A playoff loss to Batavia.

McHenry’s roster lists 29 seniors, and Zunkel said that most of them started.

“We’re relying on them and building off of them,” Zunkel said.

“It’s one of those groups that we’ve been so excited that we were able to

Quarterback Colton Klein is one of those seniors. He called the 6-4 season, which followed a 1-8 showing in 2015, a wild ride. “(It was) like a roller coaster, we had our ups and our downs,” Klein said. “There’s nothing we can do now, but we fought for each other and we fought for our coach.”

McHenry made 20 playoff appearances from 1988 to 2007, but did not return again until this year.

Both Klein and running back Gio Purpura talked about the memories they made with their teammates as things they will remember from their final high school season.

“It’s been the most fun I’ve ever had,” Purpura said. “Not just because of the wins, but definitely because of the relationships that we’ve built.

We’re all so close to each other.”

Long time coming: Jacobs is in the playoffs for the sixth time in coach Bill Mitz’s seven seasons at the school, and the Golden Eagles’ 51-8 victory over Chicago Lincoln Park in Class 7A was their first postseason win since 2006.

Jacobs has found some tough firstround matchups in Class 7A and had not won a playoff game since it beat Belvidere, 8-6, in the first round in 2006 when Dean Schlueter was coach.

Closing in: Johnsburg running back Alex Peete passed 5,000 yards for his career in Week 9, and his 321 yards against Marengo in the Skyhawks’ 56-14 Class 4A playoff victory puts him at 1,843 for the season.

Peete has amassed those numbers while rarely playing much past halftime. The Skyhawks often get a 40-point lead (and a running clock) midway through third quarters, at which point Peete’s night is usually over.

Anxious moment: Cary-Grove fullback-linebacker Tyler Pennington left Friday’s game against Wheeling at one point with an ankle injury. He was upset at Wheeling players twisting his ankle, although Pennington did come back into the game.

Pennington dealt with a sprained ankle earlier this season and is vital to their playoff run.

8 COLLEGE FOOTBALL

NFL ROUNDUP

Prescott rallies ’Boys to OT win Alabama, AP TOP 25 POLL

Michigan, Clemson at the top

By RALPH D. RUSSO The Associated Press Alabama, Michigan, Clemson and Washington are at the top of The Associated Press Top 25 college football poll, and the Big 12 was left without a top-10 team after a weekend in which four unbeaten teams lost.

Two days before the College Football Playoff selection committee unveils its first rankings of the season, the AP Top 25 provided a likely preview.

Alabama is No. 1, receiving all but one of the 61 first-place votes from the media panel. Michigan received a first-place vote. Both No. 3 Clemson and No. 4 Washington won road games against ranked teams Saturday.

West Virginia and Baylor from the Big 12 were not so fortunate. The Mountaineers slipped to No. 14 after their first loss. The Bears dropped to 13th after losing to Texas.

POLL POINTS

This is the first time in the history of the Big 12, which started in 1996, that it enters November with no top-10 teams in the AP poll. No. 12 Oklahoma is the highest ranked of four Big 12 teams in the Top 25.

UP

n No. 16 Utah moved up a spot after losing to Washington, 31-24. n No. 8 Wisconsin moved up three spots after a 23-17 victory in overtime against previously unbeaten Nebraska. n No. 11 Auburn moved up four spots.

DOWN

n No. 9 Nebraska slipped only two spots after its first loss. n No. 19 Florida State dropped seven spots after a 37-34 loss. The Seminoles’ other two losses are to No. 5 Louisville and No. 18 North Carolina. n No. 24 Boise State fell 11 spots after its first loss of the season. The Broncos lost at Wyoming, 30-28.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS

ARLINGTON, Texas – Dak Prescott threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to Jason Witten in overtime, giving the Dallas Cowboys their sixth straight win with a 29-23 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night.

Prescott rallied the Cowboys with a late, tying touchdown pass to Dez Bryant and won the rookie quarterback duel with Carson Wentz. Dallas (6-1) took a two-game division lead after rallying from a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter.

The 23-year-old Prescott recovered from a shaky start, finishing 19 of 39 for 287 yards with two scores and an end zone interception that cost the Cowboys points late in the first half.

Wentz had the Eagles (4-3) in position for a win with another efficient performance. But he couldn’t move Philadelphia late in regulation with the game tied. The Eagles never got the ball in overtime after Prescott led the 75-yard scoring drive.

Raiders 30, Buccaneers 25 (OT): At Tampa, Florida, Derek Carr threw a 41-yard touchdown pass to Seth Roberts with 1:45 remaining in overtime, capping a record-breaking day for the Raiders.

Carr threw for a franchise-record 513 yards, completing 40 of 59 passes without an interception, and the Raiders overcame an NFL-record 23 penalties for 200 yards.

Carr also threw touchdowns to offensive tackle and ex-Buc Donald Penn, Amari Cooper and Mychal Rivera as the Raiders (6-2) improved to 5-0 on the road.

Redskins 27, Bengals 27: At Longon,Washington and Cincinnati played to the second NFL tie game in seven days, the first time there have been two draws in a season since 1997.

The sold-out crowd of 84,000 at Wembley Stadium left deflated and even puzzled as the regulation-time shootout between Kirk Cousins and Andy Dalton turned into an overtime comedy of errors.

Washington (4-3-1) appeared to have the game won with 2:13 left in overtime, but Dustin Hopkins hooked his 34-yard field goal attempt wide left.

Falcons 33, Packers 32: At Atlanta, Matt Ryan threw an 11-yard TD pass to Mohamed Sanu with 31 seconds remaining, rallying the Falcons.

The Falcons (5-3) snapped a twogame losing streak, driving 75 yards for the winning score after Aaron Rodgers put the Packers (4-3) ahead with his fourth TD pass of the game.

With Julio Jones shut down in the second half, Ryan turned to Sanu to bail out Atlanta. He caught five passes

Broncos 27, Chargers 19: At Denver, the Broncos took turns picking off and pummeling Philip Rivers.

But defensive coordinator Wade Phillips was taken to a hospital after getting knocked down during Brady Roby’s 51-yard touchdown return in the second quarter, tempering their enthusiasm.

San Diego running back Melvin Gordon was blocked into the 69-yearold assistant, who was strapped to a backboard and carted off the field. The Broncos said Phillips was alert and had movement in his arms and legs when he arrived at the hospital via ambulance.

Saints 25, Seahawks 20: At New Orleans, Drew Brees passed for 265 yards and a touchdown and scored on a quarterback keeper.

The victory wasn’t assured until New Orleans’ much-maligned defense, ranked 29th, came up with a stop on Seattle’s final drive. Russell Wilson took the Seahawks (4-2-1) to the New Orleans 10, where on one final play he lofted a pass toward the corner of the end zone. Jermaine Kearse caught the ball but landed out of bounds.

Patriots 41, Bills 25: At Orchard Park, New York, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady asserted his on-field ownership of the Bills again, matching an NFL record in beating them for the 26th time.

Brady went 22 of 33 for 315 yards and threw four touchdowns. He improved to 26-3 against Buffalo and matched a record set by Brett Favre, who went 26-9 against Detroit.

The Patriots (7-1) have won four straight since Brady returned after opening the season serving the NFL’s four-game “Deflategate” suspension.

Panthers 30, Cardinals 20: At Charlotte, North Carolina, Jonathan Stewart ran for 95 yards and two touchdowns, and Thomas Davis returned a fumble 46 yards for a score.

In a game reminiscent of last season’s NFC championship, a 49-15 Carolina victory, the Panthers jumped to a 24-0 lead and kept the pressure on Carson Palmer all day.

Chiefs 30, Colts 14: At Indianapolis, Nick Foles threw two touchdown passes in relief of the injured Alex Smith.

It was a rough game for the Chiefs (5-2), who lost Smith twice after hits to the head and finished with Charcandrick West as their only healthy running back.

Smith was checked for a concussion in the first half and cleared to return.

He left again early in the third quarter after Clayton Geathers shoved Smith’s head to the turf as the quarterback tried to slide underneath the tackle.

Smith was then diagnosed with a concussion and did not return.

Texans 20, Lions 13: At Houston, Brock Osweiler bounced back from an ugly performance by throwing for 186 yards and a touchdown to help the Texans remain perfect at home. Osweiler has struggled in his first season in Houston, but has been better at home, where he’s thrown eight of his nine touchdown passes.

Jets 31, Browns 28: At Cleveland, Matt Forte ran for 82 yards and a pair of second-half touchdowns, helping the Jets rally to a second straight victory.

VIKINGS AT BEARS: 7:30 P.M. MONDAY, ESPN, WCIU, AM-780, 105.9-FM

Bears quarterbacks Matt Barkley (left) and Jay Cutler enter the field before the start of a game against the Jaguars on Oct. 16 at Soldier Field. Cutler will be making his first start Monday night since Week 2, when he sprained ligaments in his throwing thumb.

H. Rick Bamman – hbamman@shawmedia.com

From the outside, the season looks lost, with fans already clamoring for the highest draft pick possible. But with nine games left, the players want to win. They believe Cutler doesn’t just boost morale, but also makes them more competitive. “(Backup) Brian (Hoyer) played great – no disrespect – but it’s like we got new life with No. 6 coming back,” linebacker Pernell McPhee said.

“Hopefully, mentally, we can just take it on the field Monday, and we can show we got new life.”

McPhee, who returned in Week 7 against the Green Bay Packers after his own injury, said he told Cutler he needs him.

“I just feel like with Jay coming back – and me coming back – that gave us new life,” McPhee said. “We get

this and go into the bye week and go to Tampa and get this thing on a roll.”

Cutler takes over an offense that has evolved since he last played. It starts with offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains’ better understanding of his players. He said an identity was forged over a four-week stretch as the line established a strong run game behind rookie back Jordan Howard. The line also protected Hoyer well as play-action rollouts, quick throws and screens became staples of Loggains’ attack.

Injuries have changed some aspects of the offense. But young players such as Howard, center Cody Whitehair and receiver Cameron Meredith also have emerged. “[Cutler is] coming into an offense now where people understand the sys-

tem a little bit better,” Loggains said.

“Good quarterback play comes down to the other 10 guys doing their job.

Hopefully, at this point, we’re better off than we were Week 1, when we had a lot of moving parts, and Week 2, when Jay was playing.”

Loggains connected with Hoyer, but he’s clear about where he stands on Cutler.

“He’s our starting quarterback, so he was missed every week that he didn’t play,” Loggains said. “Brian did a nice job stepping in and filling that role, but there’s nothing like having your starter out there at any position.”

The Bears don’t have receiver Brandon Marshall around anymore to make and distribute “Bunker Down” T-shirts at Halas Hall. But the outside “noise” around the team that irked Marshall so much seems to be back.

And Marshall’s old friend, quarterback Jay Cutler, is at the center of it, locally and nationally.

Coach John Fox has given mixed messages about VIEWS Cutler and the Bears’ quarterAdam back situation, Jahns leaving Cutler to answer questions as if it is the Marc Trestman era again – and confusing an already discouraged fan base.

But if Monday night’s game against the Minnesota Vikings – Cutler’s first start since Week 2, when he sprained ligaments in his throwing thumb – is truly the beginning of his last stand, he will be making it with his Bears teammates in mind.

“Got great guys in my (quarterbacks) room; got great guys in the locker room. That’s just what you rally around,” Cutler said. “That’s what you build for – those relationships.

That’s kind of where I’m at.”

Players on losing teams often search aimlessly for stock answers and positives when a season is overloaded with negatives, but the Bears’ locker room seems cheerful, even exuberant that Cutler will be under center against the Vikings’ top-rated defense.

“We rally behind that guy really well,” tackle Charles Leno Jr. said.

“It’s good to have your guy back out there,” tight end Zach Miller added.

“Jay’s my guy,” receiver Alshon Jeffery said. “I’m excited. I’m looking forward to it.”

SPORTS BRIEFS Johnson wins Martinsville to gain spot in NASCAR’s finale

MARTINSVILLE, Va. – There was a time this summer when a seventh championship seemed out of reach for Jimmie Johnson.

Hendrick Motorsports was struggling, and Johnson wasn’t at the top of many lists to contend for the title.

Then the Hendrick organization flipped a switch, built better, faster cars, and Johnson turned it up a notch. Now, that slot in NASCAR’s record books is absolutely within reach.

Johnson earned one of four spots in next month’s title-deciding season finale Sunday with his ninth career victory at Martinsville Speedway. The six-time NASCAR champion will race for his seventh championship, which would tie him for the record with Hall of Famers Richard Petty and the late Dale Earnhardt.

“I’ve been trying to ignore this conversation about seven, and now I can’t,” said Johnson, who doesn’t particularly want to start thinking about the stakes just yet.

“I’ll probably lie to all of you guys and say I’m not going to think about it at all.

But it’s inevitable. Fortunately, I don’t have to think about it for three weeks.

But we’re going to enjoy this and savor it.

We’re going to get our ducks in a row for Homestead.”

Matsuyama finishes off dominant victory in Shanghai

SHANGHAI – Hideki Matsuyama of Japan never gave anyone a chance Sunday, closing with a 6-under-par 66 to win the HSBC Champions and become the first Asian winner in the 18 years of the World Golf Championships.

It was only fitting that Matsuyama won the WGC billed as “Asia’s major.”

The 24-year-old Matsuyama hit his second shot into the water on the par-5 18th hole and still finished with a par, holing an 18-foot putt. That gave him a seven-shot victory over British Open champion Henrik Stenson (65) and Daniel Berger (69).

ACC fines Florida State $20,000 after Fisher rips officials

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – The Atlantic Coast Conference has fined Florida State $20,000 after football coach Jimbo Fisher made remarks criticizing officials after Saturday night’s game against No. 3 Clemson.

Fisher, who also was publicly reprimanded by the conference, was livid over three fourth-quarter calls in the 19th-ranked Seminoles’ 37-34 loss. There was a chop block on Freddie Stevenson that negated a long run by Dalvin Cook and a subsequent unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on the bench after that play.

Blackhawks forward Marian Hossa has his nose pinched by his daughter, Zoja, while being honored by the team for scoring 500 career goals before Sunday night’s game against the Kings at the United Center.

Anisimov’s goal was the finest moment of a fine game for the latest incarnation of the second line, which seemed to have the puck all game, and which is looking less like a stopgap and more like a solution. With Patrick Kane on the top

line and jump-starting Jonathan Toews – “It seems like old habit with Kaner,” Toews said – Hossa has slid right in alongside Panarin and Anisimov.

“It’s tough to fill Kaner’s shoes with Panarin,” Hossa said. “But the good thing is, right now we’ve got a little more balance on the first two lines. I’ll just try to keep it going and, hopefully, we can keep winning.”

Just as critical as the penalty kill, the Hawks outshot a team in the first period for only the second time all season, taking a 1-0 lead on Toews’ power-play goal at 6:54 of the first.

It was Toews’ first goal of the season, and he released his frustration with a fiery fist pump after his shot

BLACKHAWKS NOTES

PK help on the way as Desjardins nears return

By MARK LAZERUS mlazerus@suntimes.com CHICAGO – As a defensive-minded forward and a penalty killer, it always has been Andrew Desjardins’ job to step in front of slap shots. And that won’t change the next time he’s on the ice, even though the last time he put himself in harm’s way he suffered a lower-body injury that has cost him three weeks and counting.

“That’s one of those things you can’t really think about,” Desjardins said after participating in his first morning skate of the regular season Sunday. “You’ve just got to do the right things, and, obviously, use your body in whichever way possible to prevent goals. I’m going to put that [out] of the back of my mind, just play and not worry about that too much.”

Desjardins suffered an apparent foot injury when he blocked a shot in

the third period of the Blackhawks’ preseason finale Oct. 8 at St. Louis.

He started skating on his own Saturday, and rejoined his teammates for an optional skate Sunday morning.

Desjardins has been fitted with skate protectors, which lessen the chance of getting hurt on a blocked shot off the foot. Although they’re common in the NHL, Desjardins never had worn them.

The first significant inAndrew jury of his career was Desjardins enough to convert him.

There’s no exact timetable for Desjardins’ return, but Hawks coach Joel Quenneville said he’ll have a better idea after seeing how the veteran responds the next couple of days.

“Maybe by the weekend, we’ll have a clearer idea,” Quenneville said. “He certainly looks pretty good out there.

Conditioning’s part of it, but you’ve also got to make sure the injury is fully healed and you’re ready.”

Desjardins led all Hawks forwards in short-handed ice time last season.

He knows he can’t be the savior of the team’s historically bad penalty kill, which has allowed 15 goals on 32 power plays, but he’s eager to get back on the ice and help.

“The guys have been working hard and trying to correct some of the mistakes that have been occurring,” Desjardins said. “[It’s] a team thing, and one player is not going to change that completely. But you obviously want to be out there to help when you can.”

Drawing board: Artem Anisimov entered Sunday two points off the league lead with five goals and five assists through eight games. But his 37.1 faceoff percentage is second-worst in the league among players with at least 100 draws. After going a dismal 35 of 100 in

his first seven games, Anisimov’s 8-of16 effort Friday at New Jersey was a big step in the right direction.

“A little bit, just a little bit,” Anisimov said with a laugh. “Like 5 percent better.”

Anisimov has worked with faceoff specialist and Hawks development coach Yanic Perreault.

“We talk about what I need to do, and we pick two or three things that I need to focus on,” Anisimov said. “I tried to focus on the last game and it was helpful.”

Roster report: Gustav Forsling missed his second straight game with an upper-body injury. Quenneville said the rookie defenseman “possibly” could play Tuesday against the Flames.

After being a healthy scratch for four games in a row, Vinnie Hinostroza was in the lineup. Ryan Hartman was a healthy scratch for the first time.

• Monday, October 31, 2016

CHICAGO – With Kings forward Jeff Carter draped over his back, Marian Hossa protected the puck along the wall, using his big body and his veteran savvy to win yet another board battle and nudge the puck to Artemi Panarin.

Hossa then darted toward the faceoff dot to receive a quick pass back from Panarin, made a power move to the net, drew a defender toward him and slipped a deft little cross-crease pass to Artem Anisimov, who popped the puck over a sprawled-out Peter Budaj for a second-period goal Sunday night.

It was vintage Hossa. Fitting, too, that it came on a night the Blackhawks reflected on his spectacular career as they celebrated his 500th goal. Hossa had a goal, an assist and played a major role in the first perfect penalty-killing night of the season for the Hawks in a 3-0 victory over the Los Angeles Kings. It was the most complete game of the season for the Hawks, who are 3-0-1 in their past four games after a shaky start. Corey Crawford continued his stellar play with a 32save shutout, his first of the season.

“I felt great,” Crawford said. “I thought that was our best game defensively. We didn’t give up too many chances inside. Our ‘D’ were awesome moving the puck, getting in the play. Our PK was solid. That was a good game for us.”

from the top of the left circle made it through traffic and Budaj.

“The No. 1 thing was getting the chances,” Toews said. “It felt like we had a lot of shots. … It’s nice to feel comfortable shooting that puck, finally getting through traffic, seeing one go in.

And, hopefully, we’ll keep going and getting that confidence that comes with it.”

After the Anisimov goal. Hossa added an empty-net goal, the 502nd tally of his career, and made a few of his trademark defensive plays on the penalty-kill, which held firm for both Kings power plays. That makes it five straight successful kills, which at least puts the Hawks above 50 percent for the season (17 of 32).

When asked if the five straight kills meant the PK woes were behind them, Quenneville didn’t answer. He simply smirked, and knocked on the wood lectern in front of him.

He was far more effusive talking about Hossa, who started the night in the spotlight during the pregame ceremony, which was attended by his wife, his parents and his two daughters. The highlight was 2-year-old Zoja honking his nose during John McDonough’s speech. Hossa finished the night in the spotlight, too, as one of the game’s three stars – a vintage performance from an all-time great.

“His night tonight,” Quenneville said. “Very deserving, and he should be proud of what he’s accomplished.”
