Good morning, McHenry County ...

Presidential debate or reality TV show?

As a Bears fan, my NFL season was over before it started and Monday Night Football won’t keep me away from tonight’s presidential debate.

Part of me wants to look away from what some assume will turn into a depressing reality TV show, but these are important – even if you dislike both candidates.

As tonight’s debate looms, I’m still debating whether to have my kids watch with me – neither of whom are old enough to vote on much other than whether they get plain or chocolate milk at dinner.

My concern is the behavior and rhetoric of this election and, politics aside, Donald Trump is the first major party presidential nominee in my lifetime whose general public demeanor is one that you hope your children never emulate.

Adults are free to debate policies, justifiably criticize Hillary Clinton, and come to their own conclusions about who they’d rather have leading the nation. Adults can be concerned about future Supreme Court nominees and other things, but that’s not what I’m talking about.

I’m talking about Trump’s public persona.

If my kids stereotyped groups of people, bullied

FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK Kevin Lyons anyone they disagreed with, became insufferable braggarts, mocked women for their appearance, belittled prisoners of war and just generally behaved like Trump behaves much of the time, I’d consider myself a failure as a parent.

Those aren’t really debatable characteristics. People can dismiss them, overlook them and the worst kind of people can embrace them, but it’s a terrible example for children. I’m pretty sure my kids, and probably many kids, find Trump’s antics ridiculous.

At least compared to Trump, my kids are probably less ashamed that dad is part of “the disgusting media.”

LOS ANGELES – All those cars on California’s famously gridlocked highways could be doing more than just using energy – they could be producing it.

The California Energy Commission is investing $2 million to study whether piezoelectric crystals can be used to produce electricity from the mechanical energy created by vehicles driving on roads.

The commission is in the process of choosing a company or university to take on small-scale field tests. It will study how the small crystals, which generate energy when compressed, could produce electricity for the grid if installed under asphalt.

Scientists already know the technology works, but the state needs to figure out whether it can produce high returns without costing too much.

Norge Ski Club’s 31st autumn ski jump is a family affair in FRG

By MATTHEW PARAS

editorial@nwherald.com

John Konstantaras for the Northwest Herald

New York Ski Educational Foundation’s Tate Franz lands a jump Sunday during the 31st annual Norge Autumn Ski Jump at Norge Ski Club in Fox River Grove.

FOX RIVER GROVE – Casey Larson was just 6 years old when his baby sitter told him and his sister, Cara, about ski jumping and the competitions at the Norge Ski Club. When his parents arrived home, Larson begged his mom to take him.

Larson went the next day and watched his baby sitter compete. He was hooked and had to try it.

That moment was 11 More photos years ago, long before Check out more Larson eventually made the U.S. national team photos on page A8 and for ski jumping. And online in a gallery at while he’s part of the www.NWHerald.com. national team, Larson still competes in competitions at the Norge Ski Club in Fox River Grove.

In 80-degree weather and obviously no snow, the club had its 31st autumn competition Saturday and Sunday.

From a 150-foot high jump, skiers slid down on skis and then jump onto the 70-meter hill. For a moment, the jumpers soar through the air.

“The flight – there’s nothing really close to it,” Larson said. “You can go jump on some skis at Wilmot [Mountain] or something, but there’s really nothing like this.”

Ski jumping isn’t a sport that would be associated with a state as flat as Illinois, but the Norge Ski Club has been around since 1905. For the past 31 years, they’ve held an autumn event.

This year’s competition featured 30 jumpers from around the Midwest.

To be able to jump without snow, plastic material is laid down on the hill and when water is applied, it makes the surface equivalent to ice.

But the community that makes up the event closely knows each other. Volunteers for the competition are usually either members of the ski club or parents of the jumpers, Meg Larson, Casey’s mother, said.

In Tonya Gibson’s case, the Barrington native used to attend ski jump events with her grandfather at the Norge Ski Club. Ski jumping has remained in her family and her 15-year-old son, Hunter, was one of the participants.

Hunter Gibson was hooked the moment he was asked by his grandfather, “Do you want to learn how to fly?”

“It’s a great sport,” Tonya Gibson said. “[Hunter] did football when he was younger, but [ski jumping] is a big family. Not that everything in other sports isn’t competitive as far as families

WOODSTOCK – A bench trial is set to begin Monday for a Fox Lake woman who was shot in the neck by deputies in 2014 after making suicidal statements and allegedly pointing a gun at them.

Elizabeth Kloss, 56, faces charges of aggravated assault and possession of firearms and ammunition without a valid FOID card.

Police have said Kloss pointed a gun, which did not belong to her, at the deputies. Officers fired seven rounds at Kloss,

The expansion broke ground in June and classes began in the new building Sept. 12. A major benefit to the new space is that it leaves the old

Casey Larson

U.S. National team and Norge Ski Club ski jumper cruit people to the sport.

“It’s about the thrill,” Demong said.

“You get addicted to the thrill and the courage it takes to point down the ski jump. At the same point, it’s a real community behind it.”

Larson has done his part to help spread the word about the sport.

Demong said he and Larson went to North Barrington and Lyons Township classes to recruit kids to start jumping.

Larson, though, said the Norge Autumn Ski Jump was his first competition he competed in as a kid.

“Everyone knows each other. That’s pretty awesome,” Larson said. “It’s a great sport, good people. It makes you want to keep jumping, for sure.”

“As a parent, I couldn’t ask for more than that.”

There are risks that come with the sport, too. When Hunter Gibson was 7, he crashed on a 40-meter jump and needed to be flown to the hospital. He then needed reconstructive surgery for part of his face.

Despite the crash, his mother said she isn’t worried about him getting hurt again, calling the sport controlled.

She initially had doubts, though.

“As a mom I was like ‘Maybe this sport is too dangerous,’ ” she said. “In the first night in the hospital, he started crying and I was like, ‘Oh no, what’s the matter?’ He said ‘I wanted to be the youngest to jump the 70-meter.’

“I knew I had to let him get back up on the horse.”

Billy Demong called the sport an addiction. Demong won a gold medal at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics in a combined ski jumping and cross country event. He was in Fox River Grove to support the competition and help re-

Country singer Jean Shepard dead at 82 ‘Grand lady of the Grand Ole Opry’ was 82 The ASSOCIATED PRESS NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Jean Shepard, “the grand lady of the Grand Ole Opry” who had a long recording career as an influential female in country music, died Sunday, according to an Opry spokeswoman. Shepard was 82.

Spokeswoman Jessie Schmidt said in a news release that Shepard had entered hospice care last week and died in Nashville.

“The Opry family is truly saddened by the news of Jean’s passing,” Opry vice president and general manager Pete Fisher said in the statement. “Although we will miss Jean’s presence on the Opry stage, she has left us the wonderful gift of her music which will be remembered for generations

to come.”

Shepard joined the cast of the Grand Ole Opry in 1955 and helped set the standard for women in country music, choosing to tour as a solo act rather than as part of a group. She presented a strong female point of view on songs like “Twice the Lovin’ in Half the Time” and “The Root of All Evil (Is a Man),” influencing such key figures in country music as Loretta Lynn who came along a decade later.

Shepard also was credited with releasing country music’s first concept album, “Songs From a Love Affair,” in 1956.

Shepard was born in Pauls Valley, Oklahoma, and was one of 10 children.

She was raised near Bakersfield, California, where she listened to the Grand Ole Opry, the show she later

performed on.

Her career began in the 1940s. According to the Grand Ole Opry website, Western swing musician Hank Thompson saw her at age 14, singing and playing bass in the Melody Ranch Girls, an all-girl band, and helped her begin recording.

She paired with fellow Hall of Fame member Ferlin Husky in 1953 on “A Dear John Letter,” her first No. 1 country hit.

In 1963, her husband at the time, country singer Hawkshaw Hawkins, was killed in a plane crash along with Patsy Cline and Cowboy Copas.

In 2005, she became the first female singer to reach 50 years as a Grand Ole Opry member, according to the Opry’s website.

Shepard was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2011 as she continued to perform regularly on the Grand Ole Opry.

‘Do the Right Thing’ actor Bill Nunn dies The ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK – Bill Nunn, a veteran character actor whose credits ranged from the “Spider-Man” movie franchise to such Spike Lee films as “Do the Right Thing” and “He Got Game,” has died.

His wife, Donna, said Nunn died Saturday at his home in Pittsburgh. He was 63 and had been battling cancer.

A longtime Pittsburgh resident and graduate of Morehouse College, Lee’s alma mater, Nunn broke through in movies in the late 1980s, first in Lee’s “School Daze,” then in the Oscar-nominated “Do the Right Thing,” as the ill-fated Radio Raheem, who dies when choked by police during a street brawl in Brooklyn.

“Radio Raheem is now resting in power,” Lee wrote on Instagram, also calling Nunn “My Dear Friend” and “My Dear Morehouse Brother.”

FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS Kenneth Lee Andersen: The visitation will be from 2 to 5 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 2 at Justen Funeral Home & Crematory, 3700 Charles J. Miller Road, McHenry. A funeral service will be at 3 p.m. For information, call the funeral home at 815-385-2400.

Deborah Lynn Keller-Harrell: A memorial

“Radio Raheem will always be fighting da powers dat be. May God watch over Bill Nunn.”

Nunn, who stood well over 6 feet tall, went on to appear in dozens of films and TV programs, including “New Jack City,” Sam Raimi’s “Spider-Man” trilogy and “Sirens.”

Nunn was the son of a prominent Pittsburgh Steelers scout, also named Bill Nunn, and befriended future Steelers president Art Rooney II while both worked as ballboys for the NFL team. They would long savor a youthful prank, stealing the car of star defensive tackle “Mean” Joe Greene.

“Joe showed up in a beautiful, green Lincoln Continental,” Rooney explained last year. “Me and Bill Nunn were ballboys and somehow Bill got the keys one night and we decided to take it for a ride.

“We only told Joe that story about 10 years ago. We figured enough time had passed that we could disclose the little joyride.”

Arnold Palmer, surrounded by applauding citizens of his native Latrobe, Pa., shakes hands April 16, 1960, with a couple of enthusiastic boys.

Palmer, who made golf popular for the masses with his hard-charging style, incomparable charisma and a personal touch that made him known throughout the golf world as “The King,” died Sunday in Pittsburgh. He was 87.

it went.

“When he hits the ball, the earth shakes,” Gene Littler once said.

Palmer rallied from seven shots behind to win a U.S. Open. He blew a seven-shot lead on the back nine to lose a U.S. Open.

He was never dull.

“I’m pleased that I was able to do what I did from a golfing standpoint,” Palmer said in 2008, two years after he played in his last official tournament. “I would like to think that I left them more than just that.”

He left behind a gallery known as “Arnie’s Army,” which began at Augusta National with a small group of soldiers from nearby Fort Gordon, and grew to include a legion of fans from every corner of the globe.

Palmer stopped playing the Masters in 2004 and hit the ceremonial tee shot every year until 2016, when age began to take a toll and he struggled with his balance.

It was Palmer who gave golf the modern version of the Grand Slam – winning all four professional majors in one year. He came up with the idea after winning the Masters and U.S. Open in 1960. Palmer was runner-up at the British Open, later calling it one of the biggest disappointments of his career.

But his appearance alone invigorated the British Open, which Americans had been ignoring for years.

Palmer never won the PGA Championship, one major short of capturing a career Grand Slam.

But then, standard he set went beyond trophies. It was the way he treated

people, looking everyone in the eye with a smile and a wink. He signed every autograph, making sure it was legible. He made every fan feel like an old friend.

Palmer never liked being referred to as “The King,” but the name stuck.

“It was back in the early ’60s. I was playing pretty good, winning a lot of tournaments, and someone gave a speech and referred to me as ‘The King,’ “Palmer said in a November 2011 interview with The Associated Press.

“I don’t bask in it. I don’t relish it. I tried for a long time to stop that and,” he said, pausing to shrug, “there was no point.”

Palmer played at least one PGA Tour event every season for 52 consecutive years, ending with the 2004 Masters. He spearheaded the growth of the 50-and-older Champions Tour, winning 10 times and drawing some of the biggest crowds.

He was equally successful with golf course design, a wine collection, and apparel that included his famous logo of an umbrella. He bought the Bay Hill Club & Lodge upon making his winter home in Orlando, Florida, and in 2007 the PGA Tour changed the name of the tournament to the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

The combination of iced tea and lemonade is known as an “Arnold Palmer.”

Padraig Harrington recalls eating in an Italian restaurant in Miami when he heard a customer order one.

“Think about it,” Harrington said.

“You don’t go up there and order a ‘Tiger Woods’ at the bar. You can go up there and order an ‘Arnold Palmer’ in

this country and the barman – he was a young man – knew what the drink was.

That’s in a league of your own.”

Palmer joined the PGA Tour in 1955 and won the Canadian Open for the first of his 62 titles. He went on to win four green jackets at Augusta National, along with the British Open in 1961 and 1962 and the U.S. Open in 1960, perhaps the most memorable of his seven majors.

Nothing defined Palmer like that 1960 U.S. Open at Cherry Hills. He was seven shots behind going into the final round when he ran into Bob Drum, a Pittsburgh sports writer. Palmer asked if he could still win by shooting 65, which would give him a four-day total of 280. Drum told him that 280 “won’t do you a damn bit of good.”

Incensed, Palmer headed to the first tee and drove the green on the par-4 opening hole to make birdie. He birdied the next three holes, shot 65 and outlasted Ben Hogan and 20-year-old amateur Jack Nicklaus.

Palmer went head to head with Nicklaus two years later in a U.S. Open, the start of one of golf’s most famous rivalries. It was one-sided. Nicklaus went on to win 18 majors and was regarded as golf’s greatest champion. Palmer won two more majors after that loss, and his last PGA Tour win came in 1973 at the Bob Hope Classic.

Tom Callahan once described the difference between Nicklaus and Palmer this way: It’s as though God said to Nicklaus, “You will have skills like no other,” then whispered to Palmer, “But they will love you more.”

Arnold Palmer brought a country club sport to the masses with a hardcharging style, charisma and a commoner’s touch. At ease with presidents and the golfing public, and on a firstname basis with both, “The King” died Sunday in Pittsburgh. He was 87.

Alastair Johnston, CEO of Arnold Palmer Enterprises, confirmed that Palmer died Sunday afternoon of complications from heart problems. Johnston said Palmer was admitted to the UPMC Hospital on Thursday for some cardiovascular work and weakened over the past few days.

“Today marks the passing of an era,” said Johnston, Palmer’s longtime agent at IMG. “Arnold Palmer’s influence, profile and achievements spread far beyond the game of golf. He was an iconic American who treated people with respect and warmth, and built a unique legacy through his ability to engage with fans.”

Palmer ranked among the most important figures in golf history, and it went well beyond his seven major championships and 62 PGA Tour wins.

His good looks, devilish grin and gofor-broke manner made the elite sport appealing to one and all. And it helped that he arrived about the same time as television moved into most households, a perfect fit that sent golf to unprecedented popularity.

“If it wasn’t for Arnold, golf wouldn’t be as popular as it is now,” Tiger Woods said in 2004 when Palmer played in his last Masters. “He’s the one who basically brought it to the forefront on TV. If it wasn’t for him and his excitement, his flair, the way he played, golf probably would not have had that type of excitement.

“And that’s why he’s the king.”

Beyond his golf, Palmer was a pioneer in sports marketing, paving the way for scores of other athletes to reap in millions from endorsements. Some four decades after his last PGA Tour win, he ranked among the highest-earners in golf.

“Thanks Arnold for your friendship, counsel and a lot of laughs,” Woods tweeted Sunday night. “Your philanthropy and humility are part of your legend. It’s hard to imagine golf without you or anyone more important to the game than the King.”

On the golf course, Palmer was an icon not for how often he won, but the way he did it.

He would hitch up his pants, drop a cigarette and attack the flags. With powerful hands wrapped around the golf club, Palmer would slash at the ball with all of his might, then twist that muscular neck and squint to see where

History suggests time to hop on board agri-tourism One of hottest trends in agriculture has nothing to do with designer crops or pick-your-own produce. Far from quenching our hunger, this crop has more to do with our thirst.

I’m talking about hops, the vining plants whose buds lend bitterness to a host of pale ales. The Associated Press reported that in 2014, about 18 percent of brewers could not get two popular types of hops – Citra and Amarillo. The Brewers Association, an industry trade group, estimates that craft brewers are on pace to in increase production this year by 2 million barrels – boosting demand for the flavor-packed, “hoppy” styles of beer.

Curt Ames, president of Chain O’Lakes Brewing Co. in McHenry, uses a “hop broker” for his yearround and seasonal beers such as Fox River Scotch Ale and I’m Bock. Experimenting with different hop varieties is an integral part of the process … if he can find it.

“Most large breweries bought hops like a futures market,” Ames said, “so I had a hard time getting hops I wanted from suppliers.”

The Hop Growers of America reported total acreage grew by nearly 20 percent to more than 53,000 acres this year. While the vast majority of hops are grown out west in Washington, Oregon and Idaho, hop production is ramping up in places such as New York, Maine, Florida, Wisconsin, Michigan and – ah, yes – even Illinois.

The growers’ association noted that hops production outside of the Pacific Northwest grew from fewer than 900 acres in 2014, to more than 1,200 last year, to nearly 2,100 this year.

There are at least five hop growers in Illinois, including Bier Blume Farms in Lena, about 40 miles west of Rockford in Stephenson County.

Farm president Rich Hauser said they began growing hops in April 2014 and now have 3 acres in production, with a goal to expand that to 30 acres or more in the next few years. Their current varieties are Cascade and Chinook – developed by the United States Department of Agriculture and thus free of patents placed on varieties developed by private industry.

The good news, Hauser said, is that new hop varieties can be developed the old-fashioned way, rather than relying on genetic engineering. Because hops have male and female versions, it allows for cross-pollination – provided there are well-irrigated, sandy and sun-drenched areas on which to grow hops. Orchard-like, the plants can climb 16 to 20 feet up a trellis.

“The hops farms have trouble keeping up with demand, and that has led to the number of plants expanding,” Hauser said. “In the U.S., we’re

Aerial view of the Otto Bauske & Hinner Rose Farm in 1955, just northwest of Woodstock on Rose Farm Road. Established in 1927, it was a nationally known greenhouse enterprise that had an estimated 300,000 plants in 35 greenhouses. The farm produced an estimated 7.5 million roses a year. The farm closed in March 1981.

LOCAL HISTORY Kurt Begalka up 15 percent since last year. A lot of people are putting acres in the ground out West, and a few are popping up in Illinois. … Hops used to be big here in the 1800s until mildew came around to the drier valleys where it was grown.”

Will hops production return to McHenry County? Don’t be surprised.

Rural Woodstock, at 906 N. Rose Farm Road, was once the epicenter of – you guessed it – rose production in the United States. Begun in 1927 by Pete Hinner and Otto Bauske, the Otto Bauske & Hinner Rose Farm once boasted an estimated 300,000 plants in 35 greenhouses and employed more than 100 people. Some 60 German prisoners of war also worked there during World War II. The fruits of their labor – an estimated 7.5 million roses a year – appeared on floats in the annual Tournament of Roses Parade in Cal-

Bier Blume Farms president ifornia and in countless Valentine’s Day bouquets. It closed in March 1981, a victim of higher costs and increased foreign competition. Colombia and Ecuador account for about 90 percent of all roses sold in the United States.

A report by the California Cut Flower Commission found that 79 percent of all cut flowers and greens sold here are imported.

While hops are being grown in South America, as well, it is my hope the locally grown/locally sourced

movement will prevail. Besides, how cool would it be to have a winery style operation with a hops vineyard, brewery and tasting room all in one spot?

That has the potential of satisfying both the county’s thirst and its need for an economic boost.

Police: 5 shot, 1 dead, after fight at U of I

By DAVID MERCER The Associated Press

CHAMPAIGN – One man was killed and four other people were wounded in a pair of shootings early Sunday, including one that happened on the University of Illinois campus.

Police believe the two shootings in the eastern Illinois city of Champaign might be related. They said the first apparently stemmed from an argument shortly after midnight at an apartment party on Green Street, the commercial heart of the campus.

“Our preliminary investigation completely points to an argument taking place at the party and the argument spilled out into the street, and that’s when a fight occurred,” Champaign police spokeswoman LaEisha Meaderds said, adding that the reasons for the fight aren’t clear yet.

Shots were fired as the fight escalated, striking four people, she said.

One of those shot, 22-year-old George Korchev, was killed, Meaderds said.

She said Korchev, who was from Mun-

delein, wasn’t involved in the fight and wasn’t a University of Illinois student.

He just happened to be walking by when the shots were fired. The other three were taken to a hospital for treatment of what police called non-critical gunshot wounds.

Less than half an hour later, police received a report of another shooting a few blocks west of campus. Officers found a victim, who was taken to a hospital and treated for a non-critical wound.

Police were searching for a suspect or suspects in the shootings and for the driver of a vehicle that struck someone who was running away from the gunfire at the first scene. That person’s injuries were minor.

It isn’t clear how many people were at the party because many ran when the gunfire began, Meaderds said. Police are hoping to find and speak to as many as possible.

Champaign Mayor Deborah Frank Feinen said in a statement Sunday that city and university police were working together to aggressively pursue all leads.

Investigators are seen Sunday at the apartment complex that has been tied to Arcan Cetin, the suspected Cascade Mall shooter, in Oak Harbor, Wash. Authorities carried boxes from a rear, upstairs apartment in the four-unit building.

Mall shooting suspect: ‘Creepy,’ multiple arrests, disputes

By MARTHA BELLISLE and LISA BAUMANN The Associated Press

OAK HARBOR, Wash. – The 20-year-old man suspected of killing five people with a rifle at a Macy’s makeup counter had a string of run-ins with the law in recent years, including charges he assaulted his stepfather, and was described by a neighbor as so “creepy, rude and obnoxious” that she kept a Taser by her front door.

As investigators tried to piece together information on Arcan Cetin, who was arrested Saturday evening after a nearly 24-hour manhunt, a picture emerged of a troubled young man. Court records show more than a half-dozen criminal cases in Island County alone since 2013.

Authorities said the gunman in the attack at the Cascade Mall Arcan Cetin in Burlington opened fire in the department store’s cosmetics department Friday night, killing a man and four females ranging from a teenager to a senior citizen. The killer then fled.

Cetin said nothing and appeared “zombie-like” when he was taken into custody on a sidewalk outside his apartment complex some 30 miles away in Oak Harbor by a sheriff’s officer who recognized him as the suspect in the rampage, authorities said.

Cetin immigrated to the U.S. from Turkey and is a legal permanent resident, officials said.

As the surrounding area absorbed news of the arrest, critical questions remained, including the gunman’s motive. The FBI said early Saturday that there was no indication the

shooting was terrorism, but local authorities said later in the day that they were ruling nothing out.

On Sept. 17, a 20-year-old man stabbed 10 people at a Minnesota mall before being shot to death by an off-duty police officer. Authorities said they are investigating the attack by Dahir Ahmed Adan as a possible act of terrorism.

On Sunday, investigators searched Cetin’s vehicle and the apartment complex and were seen carrying boxes from a rear, upstairs unit.

The four-unit building was surrounded with yellow police tape. Detectives would not say what they found.

Amber Cathey, 21, lived in an apartment next to Cetin for the past three months and said she was so frightened by him that she complained to apartment management and kept a stun gun handy. Cathey said she blocked him on Snapchat after he sent her a photo of his crotch.

“He was really creepy, rude and obnoxious,” Cathey said. She said she would try to avoid him by walking the long way around to her apartment if she saw his car in the parking lot.

The two were in high school together as well, and Cathey said he acted the same way then.

The Seattle Times reported that court records show Cetin faced three charges of assaulting his stepfather. The newspaper said Cetin also was arrested on drunken driving charges. It gave no details on when the arrests took place or how the cases may have been resolved. In the assault case, Cetin was told by a judge last December that he was not to possess a gun, the newspaper reported. However, the stepfather urged the judge not to impose a no-contact order, saying his stepson was “going through a hard time.”

Poll shows voter distaste for Putin-style leadership

By EMILY SWANSON and VIVIAN SALAMA The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – Donald Trump has called Russian President Vladimir Putin “a leader – unlike what we have in this country.”

But most Americans don’t agree with Trump’s assessment of Putin’s leadership skills, a new Associated Press-GfK poll shows.

Only 24 percent of registered voters said Putin has leadership qualities that would be good for an American president to share, while 71 percent said he does not. In fact, a majority, 56 percent, said they have an unfavorable view of Putin, while only 10 percent said they view the Russian leader favorably.

Voters were split on whether Trump would be too close to Putin, with 42 percent saying they think Trump would be too close, and 41 percent saying his approach would be about right. Fourteen percent think he would not be close enough.

By comparison, most voters (53 percent) think Democrat Hillary Clinton’s relationship with Putin would be about right, while 11 percent think she would be too close and 32 percent think she would not be close enough.

The relationship between the Republican nominee and the Russian strong-

man began taking on new life when Putin praised Trump last December as “bright and talented” and “the absolute leader of the presidential race.”

The billionaire businessman hailed Putin’s regard for him as a “great honor,” brushing off widespread allegations that the Russian president has ordered the killing of political dissidents and journalists.

“Our country does plenty of killing also,” Trump told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” in December.

Four in 10 Trump supporters and only 1 in 10 Hillary Clinton supporters said Putin has leadership qualities that would be good for an American president to have. Still, even among Trump’s supporters, just 16 percent have a favorable opinion of Putin. Only 5 percent of Clinton’s supporters do.

Marissa Garth, a 28-year-old stay-athome mom from Smithfield, Utah, said she plans to vote for Trump this November because he exhibits the qualities of a strong leader – not to be com-

pared with Putin.

“I think (Putin) is a strong leader for his country,” she said. “But at the same time I don’t think he necessarily has the qualities that I would want as a president.”

In fact, the poll finds that men are more likely than women to say that Putin has leadership qualities that would be good in an American president, 28 percent to 19 percent.

Among Clinton’s supporters, 69 percent said Trump would be too close to Putin. Forty-nine percent of those supporting another candidate share that view, but only 8 percent of Trump supporters said their candidate would be too close to Putin. Eighty percent of Trump supporters said his approach would be about right. Among conservatives, 20 percent said Trump would be too close to Putin.

There is nothing 54-year old Gary Sellers, of Homewood, Illinois, likes about Putin – or Trump. He called Putin a “dictator,” adding, “there are no qualities of his that I wish that an American president would have.”

A lukewarm Clinton supporter, he’s concerned that Trump shares Putin’s extreme views of governing. “I feel he has a dictatorial approach toward being president of the United States,” Sellers said of Trump.

Damaged Hair Cells

Do you sometimes feel people are mumbling or not speaking clearly? Do you find it difficult to follow a conversation in a noisy restaurant or crowded room? If so you might be interested in some recent findings.

The most common type of hearing loss is sensorineural, in which the inner ear becomes damaged. Sound travels through the ear canal, the ear drum (tympanic membrane), the middle ear, and is transmitted to the inner ear (cochlea). As sound-generated vibrations enter the cochlea, they cause microscopic hair cells to vibrate, which in-turn transmit neuro-electrical impulses to the brain. When these hair cells become damaged, they cannot vibrate in the appropriate way. The resulting impulses to the brain are dampened or garbled, making comprehension difficult or impossible. Damage to hair cells is irreparable. But compensation is possible.

It took years for your brain to learn to interpret the meaning of sounds. If the neurons that carry signals to the brain are experiencing prolonged lack of stimulation because of damaged hair cells (auditory deprivation), they degenerate, leaving

dead regions where certain sound frequencies can no longer be interpreted. In other words, “use it or lose it” applies to hearing too. Fortunately, recent advances in digital hearing technology make it possible to detect damaged and dead regions within the inner ear. Using “visual speech mapping” and “real ear measurement” processes, the highly trained audiologists and hearing instrument specialists at AccuQuest Hearing Centers (a national network of over 190 locations) can target regions of frequency loss and compensate for damaged hair cells. This targeted stimulation of neurons can aid in making speech comprehensible again.

Hearing loss, regardless of degree, can interfere with one’s ability to participate in a world that greatly depends on communication for social, educational, and occupational activities. Not all hearing loss can be fixed with hearing aids, but there’s a good chance we can help you with yours. Please give us a chance to help before your loss worsens.

She’s also known to be guarded.

“People who support her say she is thoughtful,” Jamieson said. “Those who oppose her say she is hiding something. But she adds that there’s good historical reason for Clinton to watch her words.

“She’s been burned by statements that were taken to mean something she didn’t necessarily intend, like her famous 1992 ‘cookies and teas’ remark,” which Jamieson said was “taken egregiously out of context.”

Then, of course, there’s the persistent description of Clinton “lecturing” – or worse, “yelling.” Many counter that this particular description is inextricably wound up in gender perceptions. (One commentator, Mark Rudov, said on Fox News in 2008 that when candidate Obama spoke, “Men hear, ‘Take off for the future,’ and when Hillary Clinton speaks, men hear, ‘Take out the garbage.’ ”) “I don’t think one can talk about anything related to Hillary Clinton where gender is not (a factor), whether it’s conscious or not,” said Deborah Tannen, professor of linguistics at Georgetown University.

“What you constantly hear about is her yelling,” Tannen said. “But of course, candidates all yell. They have to.”

Donald Trump speaks Feb. 28, 1989, during a news conference in New York, announcing the opening of his Taj Mahal Resort Casino in Atlantic City, N.J. released balloons on Coney Island containing $50 discount coupons. He dressed up apartment building lobbies with bird cages.

From the beginning, his son Donald never passed up an opportunity to be on camera.

Long before NBC’s “The Apprentice” turned Trump into a reality TV star in 2004, he was advancing his bizwhiz image in TV and movie cameos, chatting up Howard Stern on the radio and filming ads for Pizza Hut, McDonald’s and more. Then, over 14 seasons of “The Apprentice” and “Celebrity Apprentice,” he sharpened his ability to work the camera, think on his feet and promote the Trump brand.

As a presidential candidate, he’s drawn on those same skills to keep himself in the news, dishing out provocations and insults sure to guarantee the public’s attention.

“Across his history, he evolved from a builder to a brand,” said Kathleen Hall Jamieson, director of the Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania. “He would not be successful were it not for his ingenuity at securing publicity.”

A big question heading into Monday’s leadoff debate in Hempstead, New York, is which Trump will turn up on stage – the bombastic name-caller who dominated stages for most of the primary season or the more disciplined candidate of late.

Voters looking for a smackdown might be disappointed.

Kall said that because a key question for voters is whether Trump has the right temperament to be president, the Republican nominee needs to put the bluster on hold and offer a measured, thoughtful debate performance in which he shows a command of policy detail.

• Monday, September 26, 2016

NEW YORK – Hillary Clinton has said it herself: She’s not the most naturally gifted public communicator.

“I am not a natural politician, in case you haven’t noticed, like my husband or President Obama,” she said in March.

Yet her first public speech was a star-making one, landing her in a Life magazine write-up at the tender age of 21. She was a senior at Wellesley, the first student chosen to address a commencement there. Unhappy with the words of the U.S. senator invited to speak before her, she parried with an unplanned rebuke, before launching into her prepared remarks. It was unscripted and rather audacious – so audacious, in fact, that the president of Wellesley felt compelled to apologize to the senator.

“Courtesy is not one of the stronger virtues of the young,” wrote Ruth Adams, in a letter recently unearthed by The Washington Post. “Scoring debater’s points seems, on occasion, to have higher standing.”

Nearly 50 years later, Clinton is facing the most important debates of her life as she squares off against Donald Trump beginning Monday – three high-stakes contests that could set the momentum for the remainder of the presidential campaign.

What kind of communicator has she become in those years since Wellesley, the last 30 or so in the public eye?

That first speech is significant, said Kathleen Hall Jamieson, of the University of Pennsylvania’s Annenberg Public Policy Center, because it shows how even a college-age Clinton was able to think on her feet and jump on the moment – a key asset in a debate.

Clinton also showed, and has honed for years, a propensity to engage the other side, to argue and counter-argue like a lawyer, Jamieson said – not surprising, since her next stop after Wellesley was a law degree at Yale.

But along with those and other obvious strengths – such as the depth of her preparation – Clinton can sound scripted, especially in contrast to her husband, a gifted empathizer. “ ‘I feel your pain’ – that was a joke line about Bill Clinton, but some people have to work harder at it than others,” Jamieson said. “It was more natural for Ronald Reagan and Bill

WASHINGTON – Donald Trump once claimed to be publicity shy.

No joke.

It’s right there in The New York Times of Nov. 1, 1976. In the same article, the 30-year-old real estate developer talks up his millions, showcases his penthouse apartment and Cadillac, and allows a reporter to tag along as he visits job sites and lunches at the “21” club before hopping an evening flight to California for more deal-making.

So much for that shy-guy claim.

Young and ambitious, Trump worked just as hard at building his image as he did at expanding his real estate empire.

Along the way, he honed the communications skills that would benefit him at the negotiating table, turn him into a reality TV star and launch a presidential campaign.

He’ll put them to the ultimate test as he goes one-on-one with Hillary Clinton in three nationally televised debates over the next month that will help determine the next president.

Trump, who’d never participated in a debate before the presidential primaries, is keeping his preparations for Monday’s leadoff general-election debate low-key – no mock face-offs or the like.

“Really, you’re preparing all of your life for these,” he told Fox Business Network recently. “You’re not preparing over a two-week period and cramming.”

Is he ready?

Experts on public speaking find all kinds of faults with Trump’s oratory: His vocabulary is juvenile, his syntax is jumbled, he’s casual about accuracy, he’s demeaning, his voice is thin and nasal, he’s weak on policy details and more.

And yet, Aaron Kall, who directs the University of Michigan’s Debate Institute and debate team, will venture to tell you this: “He performs like a maestro.”

“He’s a media natural,” said Kall, who edited a book about Trump’s primary debate performances. “He really understands audiences and tailors a message to what he thinks that they want to hear.”

Trump inherited a flair for promotion from his father.

Fred Trump, who built homes and apartments in Brooklyn and Queens, used all sorts of gimmicks to sell his properties: He filled the scoop of a bulldozer with women in bikinis. He

Voter fraud in America

How does a lie come to be widely taken as the truth?

The answer is disturbingly simple: Repeat it over and over again. When faced with facts that contradict the lie, repeat it louder.

This, in a nutshell, is the story of claims of voting fraud in America – and particularly of voter impersonation fraud, the only kind that voter ID laws can possibly prevent.

Last week, a Washington Post-ABC News poll found nearly half of registered American voters believe voter fraud occurs “somewhat” or “very” often. That astonishing number includes twothirds of people who say they’re voting for Donald Trump and a little more than one-quarter of Hillary Clinton supporters. Another 26 percent of American voters said fraud “rarely” occurs, but even that characterization is off the mark. Just 1 percent of respondents gave the answer that comes closest to reflecting reality: “Never.”

As study after study has shown, there is virtually no voter fraud anywhere in the country. The most comprehensive investigation to date found out of 1 billion votes cast in all American elections between 2000 and 2014, there were 31 possible cases of impersonation fraud. Other violations – such as absentee ballot fraud, multiple voting and registration fraud – also are exceedingly rare. So why do so many people continue to believe this falsehood?

Credit for this mass deception goes to Republican lawmakers, who for years have pushed a fake story about voter fraud, and thus the necessity of voter ID laws, in an effort to reduce voting among specific groups of Democratic-leaning voters.

Those groups – mainly minorities, the poor and students – are less likely to have the required forms of identification.

The ploy works. A study analyzing elections from 2006 through 2014 found voting by eligible minority citizens decreased significantly in states with voter ID laws and “the racial turnout gap doubles or triples in states” with those laws.

There are plenty of shortcomings in the American voting system, but most are a result of outdated machines, insufficient resources or human error – not intentional fraud.

These efforts are especially galling in a nation where, on a good day, only 60 percent of eligible voters show up to the polls. The truth is those who created the specter of voter fraud don’t care about the integrity of the voting system; they want to undermine the rights of legitimate voters because that helps them win elections.

ANOTHER VIEW

Trump’s shameless ‘philanthropy’ Where did Donald Trump get the harebrained idea that he will get Mexico to pay for a new border wall? Or his boast that he will make Arab states pay for refugee safe zones in Syria? Perhaps from the success he has had sleazily diverting money other people had donated to charity into paying off his business obligations.

“It’s called OPM. I do that all the time in business. It’s called other people’s money,” Trump said Tuesday. “There’s nothing like doing things with other people’s money.”

One of the things he did with other people’s money, according to revelations painstakingly uncovered by The Post’s David A. Fahrenthold, was fund his namesake charity, from which donations appeared to come from him. Trump then used some of that funding to pay off business liabilities. In one instance, he settled a dispute with the town of Palm Beach, Florida,

over $120,000 in unpaid fines by promising to donate $100,000 to a veterans group. Instead of donating personal funds, he transferred some money – OPM – from his charitable foundation.

Similarly, the GOP nominee used other people’s charitable giving to settle a dispute over a hole-in-one tournament held at the Trump National Golf Club in New York.

At the time, his foundation was funded by a big donation from pro-wrestling magnates Vince and Linda McMahon.

These revelations come on top of findings Trump and his wife used foundation money to win items at charitable auctions, such as a helmet signed by quarterback Tim Tebow and not one but two paintings of Trump.

It is likely this sort of behavior is illegal, because charities are not supposed to engage in “self-dealing” – activities that directly benefit the bottom lines

of those running them. But even if Trump’s approach to “philanthropy” is not technically illegal, it still is slimy and shameless.

As the revelations have mounted, Trump spokesmen have accused The Post of “badgering” them and said Fahrenthold is “biased” and “a little obsessed.” Although the campaign insisted The Post’s reporting “is peppered with inaccuracies and omissions,” it pointed to none and has offered no evidence telling a different story.

In fact, Trump has a secret trove of documents that could help to clarify how much he really has given to charity in recent years, what his business dealings look like and potential conflicts of interest should he be elected president. These documents are his tax returns, which he still refuses to reveal. Trump is the least transparent major-party presidential nominee in recent memory.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

The Washington Post

VIEWS Alexandra Petri question is any question that makes Trump look bad or that he will have difficulty answering. Questions that rely heavily on facts often fall into this category.

4) As a general rule, it is bad to dwell too much on the past. We do not want to live there until after the election, at which point Trump will graciously transport the entire nation back to 1956. (You’re welcome – some of you!) Other than that, things that Trump said in the past should stay there.

5) As years of Fox News have taught us, the word “fair” has a very specific meaning.

It is something different from “true.”

6) If you need inspiration for questions, just go back and read what Matt Lauer asked.

7) It is important that America be allowed to feel that both options will probably be fine. With this in mind, avoid the words “catastrophe,” “existential threat to American democracy” and “human nightmare” as well as any other terms that generally appear in newspaper editorials describing Trump. These newspapers are biased because Trump does not like the First Amendment, a part of an old document called the Constitution newspapers are WEIRDLY obsessed with.

8) If you give Clinton a throat lozenge or water at any point, this is a dangerous and unforgivable sign of bias. It is important Clinton cough so the American people can see she is on the Brink of Death.

9) Trump can have as much water as he wants, because he is in the best health.

10) In general, if you want to see whether you are doing a good job of hosting a fair debate, just ask yourself whether you are making Trump look good. It is simply a fact that Trump is great, the greatest, and any fair debate will make this abundantly clear to the American people.

11) And most important of all: Have fun!!

With a big debate coming up today, there has been a lot of talk about how to moderate the discussion. Fortunately, Donald Trump’s team has prepared the following list of suggestions so the debate will be as Fair and Unbiased as possible.

1) Be a moderator, not a fact-checker.

One of those is a good, important person who will be safe in Donald Trump’s America, and the other one is a mean little man who spends his whole life banging his head against his keyboard and sending out nonsensical pronouncements such as “Donald Trump has just earned FIVE WHOPPERS!” Who even knows what these units are supposed to mean? TRUTH-O-METER? PANTS ON FIRE? PINOCCHIOS? Are these truth ratings or novelty sandwiches?

No wonder Americans no longer respect fact-checkers as an institution. They have given up trying to figure out if a Six-Alarm Whopper is a delicious burger or a horrible untruth. And Trump, for one, does not blame them.

Trump lives in a post-fact world, and he wishes you would join him there. Too scrupulous an adherence to truth makes you no fun to be around.

Consider: If you are having dinner in someone’s home and he tells you that his children are beautiful and talented, you do not shout “FALSE!” and thump their report cards and photos down onto the dinner table. This is just plain rude and will ensure you are not invited back.

Likewise, when you are moderating a debate, it is not your place to scream “UNTRUE!” when people say things. Let them finish. People on the internet who care about such things can look it up later.

It is not your job. Your job is to make sure everyone has fun and is safe. Remember, nothing matters. It is only television. This whole world is devoid of meaning, but television is especially void.

As Trump has said, “I try and tell myself it doesn’t matter. Nothing matters. If you tell yourself it doesn’t matter, like you do shows, you do this, you do that and then you have earthquakes in India where 400,000 people get killed. Honestly, it doesn’t matter. That’s how I handle stress.”

Trump loves everyone, but he hates mean, petty people who keep insisting he did not say the things he wishes he had said. Let him have his beautiful dreams!

Without our dreams, where would we be?

2) The only time you should interrupt a candidate’s response is when someone looks likely to fall off the stage or something. But that will happen to Hillary Clinton, not Trump. Trump is very stable, perhaps the most stable.

3) Another thing to avoid in the debate is asking hostile “gotcha” questions. A gotcha

Glasses correct most astigmatisms Dear Dr. K: At my last visit, my eye doctor told me I have astigmatism. He told me what that means, but I still don’t really understand what it is. Please explain it to me.

Dear Reader: Astigmatism means the eye’s cornea has an irregular shape, which causes vision problems. Astigmatism is very common; I am among the several billion people who have it. Fortunately, it’s easy to correct.

Let’s start with a little eye anatomy. The cornea is the clear, dome-like window at the front of the eye. Rays of light pass through the cornea and then through the lens, which focuses images onto the retina. The retina captures the images and sends them to the brain via the optic nerve.

The cornea normally is round. In people with astigmatism, the cornea may be shaped like a football or oval. This causes light to scatter instead of focus on a single point as it passes through the cornea.

Blurred vision is the most common symptom of astigmatism. Some people describe it as double vision but in only one eye. You may develop eyestrain, squinting and headaches from working to focus on near or distant objects.

Many people have some degree of astigmatism; in fact, it is rare to find a perfectly formed eye. Although people are born with astigmatism, it often is Not noticed until a child attends school or learns to read. Astigmatism tends to remain stable, but it slowly may worsen over time. An eye doctor can diagnose astigmatism using a standard eye examination.

Glasses are a good, reliable choice for correcting astigmatism. Patients who prefer contact lenses may be limited to hard contact lenses. Soft lenses some-

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff times are an option, but they aren’t as effective for severe astigmatism.

Another option is corrective surgery.

The most common type used to correct astigmatism is LASIK (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis).

In LASIK, the doctor makes a small incision on the surface of the eye to create a small flap of tissue, which is lifted up.

Then the doctor uses a cool laser beam to correct the irregular shape of the cornea.

Recovery usually is quick and painless.

When LASIK surgery was introduced, I took a wait-and-see attitude. The surgery clearly produced short-term improvement in vision, with minimal risks. But I was concerned about the possibility that over the longer term the surgery would become less effective, or there would be adverse effects. Today, after nearly 30 years of its use, I’m much more confident in recommending this procedure to my patients.

It’s the unusual person, though, who needs surgery to correct astigmatism.

Glasses have always worked for me, as did contact lenses.

I think eyeglasses are one of the most important medical discoveries – right up there with antibiotics, X-rays and vaccines. So many children and young adults begin to lose clear vision due to myopia, astigmatism and other common eye problems. Without eyeglasses, society would be much less happy and productive.

mothers are for. You also have the right as her mother to point out if it’s true, what the consequences of her fling may be when her husband returns. When you talk to her, try not to come across as judgmental as much as concerned, and be prepared to do a lot of listening, because people don’t usually start affairs for no reason.

Dear Abby: I’m fairly certain you have never heard this one before, but I am a slob. It’s embarrassing, but it is what it is. I’m working on it, but I’m nearly 70, so major change is unlikely.

I suspect a friend of mine used my hidden key and came into my house to clean for me on my birthday while I was out to dinner with my children. She meant well, but I have asked her repeatedly not to help me. She simply refuses to listen to what she doesn’t want to hear. She says she cleans because it’s a stress reliever for her, but it just makes me feel more stressed.

Needless to say, I have taken in all of my hidden keys. I am frustrated by her actions and feel violated, not honored. Honestly, I am just embarrassed. I haven’t been feeling well for a while, so the house was particularly messy. I suspect she’s waiting for me to acknowledge her “thoughtfulness.”

Abby, please tell your readers “helping a friend” is no help if it isn’t welcome. I feel what she did was stubborn and selfish since it was what she wanted to do – not what I wanted. I’m a big girl, and I can ask for help if I want it. –

WOODSTOCK - Two family garage sale at 670 Prairie Ridge Drive & 671 Prairie Ridge Drive

Rupert Murdoch, media tycoon and quadrimarried(!) person, said, “The world is changing very fast. Big will not beat small anymore. It will be the fast beating the slow.”

Surely big will still have the edge over small most of the time. At the bridge table, though, slow and thoughtful will usually defeat fast and careless -- but not always.

How does that apply to this deal?

South is in three no-trump. West leads the heart jack: three, two, king.

What happens after that?

North followed a textbook transfer sequence, showing exactly five spades and game values.

South, after taking the first trick, unblocks (cashes) his spade honors and continues with a low club. A defender who believes implicitly in second hand low will hasten to contribute his club three, and declarer will claim nine tricks: five spades, three hearts and that club.

When East played the heart two at trick one, he denied an honor in the suit. (With honor-doubleton, East would have tabled that high card to tell partner what was happening and, potentially, to unblock the suit.)

So, West should immediately credit South with three heart tricks. After seeing the spade ace and king, West can give declarer five spade winners.

If South also takes a club trick, he is home.

With nary a nanosecond to spare, West must win the fourth trick, cash his diamond ace (being blind to East’s three; he couldn’t afford to signal higher), and continue the suit. In this way, the defenders quickly take one club and four diamonds to defeat the contract.

What to watch NFL: Atlanta at New Orleans, 7:15 p.m., ESPN The NFC South rivals meet as the Saints celebrate the 10th anniversary of the reopening of the Superdome after Hurricane Katrina displaced the team for the 2005 season.

Coming off their 31-17 embarrassment at the hands of the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night, there are two very different questions to consider and answer about the 2016 Chicago Bears.

Who are these Bears? And who are they trying to be?

It is easy to see who they are, the worst team in the NFL or at best one of the bottom three.

There were only four winless teams left in the NFL after Sunday night, and the 0-2 Saints still had a Monday night game to play.

Even if the Saints lose at home to Atlanta, they were competitive in weeks 1 and 2 and are better than the Bears right now.

Are Jacksonville and Cleveland better than the Bears?

The Jaguars’ Week 1 loss to the Packers was a much better performance than any the Bears have had this season, and they clearly have more young talent

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush ready to be good than the Bears do.

So the only good news in Chicago right now – other than the Cubs, of course – is you’d rather have the Bears than the Browns.

Yes, the Bears are clearly more talented than Cleveland, but has a bar ever been set lower?

The more difficult and, quite frankly, disturbing question is who or what are they trying to be?

With starters Eddie Goldman, Danny Trevathan, Pernell McPhee, Kyle Fuller and Bryce Callahan all in street clothes, only fans and fools were picking the Bears to beat Dallas, unless they were

3 things that worked

Cowboys 31, Bears 17 Chicago Dallas

3 that didn’t

1

First quarter: The offense had two three-and-outs, and the defense allowed the Cowboys to hold the ball for 10:49 en route to 10 points in the first quarter. Prescott was 6 of 8 passing, and Ezekiel Elliott rumbled for 51 yards, while the Bears gained 18 yards on six plays.

Time of possession: The Bears entered the game with the largest disparity in time of possession in the league and added to it Sunday night. In the first half, the Cowboys had the ball for 13:34 longer than the Bears.

Third-down offense: Contributing to the inability to control the tempo of the game was the Bears’ absolute failure to convert on third down. They started the game 0 for 6 and didn’t convert a third down until the fourth quarter.

2 3

3 moments that mattered

1 2 3

Teams script out their first offensive drives, which made it that much more frustrating for the Bears to have an apparent botched handoff on the first play from scrimmage, which resulted in a Hoyer 1-yard loss. It set the tone for a rough first half.

On the first play of the second quarter, the Cowboys faced a third-and-3 from their 35-yard line. Prescott got outside the pocket and ran for a 17-yard gain. Christian Jones was the one player who had a chance, but he took a bad angle.

Down 14 but coming off the defense’s first forced three-and-out of the game, Cameron Meredith lost a fumble in the middle of the third quarter. The Cowboys didn’t score off the turnover, but it was a missed opportunity for the Bears to get points.

What now?

Record: 0-3 What it means: The only other 0-3 teams? The Jaguars and Browns. A franchise such as the Bears shouldn’t be included with that company.

What’s next: The Bears return to Soldier Field to host a 1-2 Lions team that lost, 34-27, to the Packers on Sunday.

Pass protection: The Bears’ O-line did a fine job keeping the Cowboys’ defensive front back, allowing one QB hit and zero sacks of Hoyer.

Third-quarter defense: After giving up a score on all four Cowboys drives in the first half, the defense rallied in the third quarter. Jacoby Glenn forced a fumble that Adrian Amos recovered, the defense forced a three-and-out, and another third-down stop led to a missed Dan Bailey field goal.

Winless Bears regress in ugly road loss

By KEVIN FISHBAIN

kfishbain@profootballweekly.com ARLINGTON, Texas – Undermanned and overmatched, the Bears were out of sorts from the get-go in their 31-17 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday night, falling to 0-3 for the second year in a row.

Without Jay Cutler, Eddie Goldman and Danny Trevathan, the problems that have plagued the Bears after halftime in their first two losses were apparent to open the game in a miserable first half on national TV. “I think we kind of reversed this week. It was a very poor first half. I thought we got better in the second half,” coach John Fox said. “The bad thing about the first three games is we can’t put a complete game together.”

The Cowboys dominated from the start, possessing the ball for 13:44 longer than the Bears in the opening half and scoring on all four possessions, jumping out to a 24-3 halftime lead.

Rookie Dak Prescott completed 19 of 24 passes in the game, finding open receivers often and also making plays with his legs. A vaunted Cowboys O-line had little problem with an undermanned Bears front seven that notched only one QB hit and one tackle for loss in the game.

“We’re looking for a formula. We’re looking for it,” linebacker Willie Young said. “We’ve got to do whatever we can do to find it. We have not found it. We have got to figure it out and we better figure it out fast. ... We’ve got to figure this out, like, yesterday.”

The Bears’ offense didn’t convert a third down until the fourth quarter, going 2 for 10 on the night.

“I thought we did a better job in pass pro today, but we’ve got to do a better job in the run game so we don’t

Unlike the first two weeks of the season, the Bears looked good in the third quarter – although it was hard to be worse than how things started. They put up points in the third for the first time this season on a Brian Hoyer to Zach Miller touchdown.

ground with multiple backs.

With an offensive line that has struggled in pass protection but has All-Pro talent in Kyle Long and Josh Sitton and a promising rookie in Cody Whitehair, the Bears should be able to run the ball if they commit to it.

In fact, when they signed free-agent right tackle Bobby Massie, the Bears acknowledged he’d need work in pass protection but that he was already a mauling run blocker.

To not run first, commit to it and stay with it in Dallas was pretty much inexcusable.

Fox almost certainly will argue the Bears fell behind and couldn’t stay on the ground, but that will be an excuse and an untruth.

On four first-half possessions when the game was still clearly in play Loggains called five running plays and 13 passes.

They will look at the 49 passes vs. 15 runs, point to the score and say, “Hey, it was just the way the game went.”

But the truth is, at least right now, the Bears are a team that doesn’t have a plan on offense, doesn’t seem to know who they want to be, and it’s fair to start to question whether Loggains was the right choice to run that side of the ball.

VIEWS Rick Telander than the codes to Wells Fargo’s fake bank accounts.

Cutler’s bad thumb was operated on five years ago. For a quarterback, the thumb on the throwing hand is nearly as important as the elbow or shoulder when it comes to control. You can try to play with a bad thumb, but you won’t play well. Balls will fly like game birds.

So what do the Bears do?

There really isn’t anything they can do this season. Right now, after giving up 447 yards to the Cowboys, the defense is as much of an issue as the offense.

But there was something the Bears could have done during the offseason: They could have drafted a quarterback.

There were a bunch of fresh, young quarterbacks taken in the 2016 draft, including Jared Goff, Carson Wentz (who beat the Bears last Monday), Jacoby Brissett, Cody Kessler and, tellingly, Dak Prescott.

Prescott, of course, is the Cowboys’ starter now that Tony Romo is out with a back injury suffered during the preseason.

Prescott was a dynamic 19 for 24 for 248 yards with a touchdown and no interceptions against the Bears. His passer rating was a stellar 123.6, and he also ran for 36 yards and a touchdown.

Here’s the thing about Prescott: The Cowboys took him in the fourth round – after the Bears had picked three players in the same round. Prescott was the 135th player taken. To say he was available is to say Carrot Top is available.

But maybe the Cowboys should have drafted a quarterback even sooner. Romo, 36, who has shown periods of brilliance, is brittle and missed all but four games last season, too.

Do you simply keep a star quarterback, pray he doesn’t get crippled and fill the No. 2 spot with any journeyman out there?

The answer, when things go bad, is clearly no.

Hoyer looked capable against the Cowboys – as capable as Cutler, for sure – passing for 317 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions.

The Bears can get rid of Cutler at

the end of the season. Just cut him like dead bait, not take too big a salary-cap whack and start fresh.

Sometimes you can get too emotional about these things and demand change for change’s sake. But even if Cutler is better than Hoyer, he is a symbol of bland.

He has been given a chance, and he’ll leave Chicago – whenever he goes – with virtually all the Bears’ quarterback records.

But what this team needs is hope.

And that’s not being too emotional, only reasonable. The Bears need hope that turns into success. Why else play the game?

Prescott isn’t the answer to all of the Cowboys’ problems, but he’s a nice stopgap.

Or maybe he’s a star. He’s only 23.

He’s uninjured. Blue sky above.

“I’m concerned,” Cutler said last week of his thumb. “As a quarterback, you kind of need your right thumb.”

Yep. And maybe he can stick it out and a hitch a ride to a team that needs an average backup.

ARLINGTON, Texas – So off we go, minus Jay Cutler for a spell.

And you have to wonder whether this is a bad thing.

Quarterback Brian Hoyer was brought in last spring to be a backup, not a starter. He’s an OK player – the Bears’ 31-17 loss Sunday to the Cowboys was certainly not his fault — but you’re not going to build playoff aspirations around a 30-year-old guy who is playing for his sixth team in eight seasons.

What we have in Chicago among Bears fans is what best can be called “Cutler fatigue.”

As good as Cutler can be at times, he has an aura of blandness and we’renot-quite-going-to-get-there to him.

And, of course, the Bears haven’t quite gotten there with him in seven-plus seasons.

It’s hard to say average much better than Cutler’s 50-49 record as the Bears’ starter. Had he played against the Cowboys, he likely would be an even 50-50.

His injured right thumb likely will keep him out for at least another week and maybe longer. Nobody knows for sure because we never really know anything about Bears injuries. The Bears’ wounds are bigger secrets

MIAMI MARLINS

Marlins devastated

Lions’ rally falls short in Green Bay Fernandez’s death in boating accident stuns team

By GENARO C. ARMAS The Associated Press

GREEN BAY, Wis.– The timing is back for quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the rest of Green Bay’s offense.

The Packers’ pass defense might need a little work, though.

Rodgers threw for 205 yards and four touchdowns, including two in the first half to Jordy Nelson, and the Packers snapped out of their offensive funk before holding off the Detroit Lions for a 34-27 win Sunday.

Rodgers was 15 of 24, leading the Packers to touchdowns on their first three series. Nelson had 101 yards on six catches, returning to the form that made him one of the NFL’s best receivers before missing the 2015 season with a knee injury.

“Just got on the same page. Hitting Jordy for some big plays helps,” Rodgers said. “Jordy and I connected. Whenever we’re doing that, it kind of opens other things up for the offense.”

They moved the ball on the Lions’ short-handed defense with ease in the first half. The Packers (2-1) led 3110 at halftime before the Lions slowly chipped away.

Marvin Jones’ 35-yard touchdown catch with 3:34 left got Detroit (1-2) within seven. But Rodgers had a critical 11-yard run on third-and-8 from the Packers 27 with 3:22 left to effectively seal the win.

Jones had a career-high 205 yards on six receptions. Matthew Stafford passed for 385 yards and three scores with one interception for the Lions, who held advantages in total yardage (418-324) and time of possession, holding the ball for 35 minutes.

CLS hockey team tops Lake Zurich Crystal Lake South’s hockey team defeated Lake Zurich on Sunday, 8-0, at Leafs Ice Centre in West Dundee.

Michael Tanzillo, Anthony Saputa and Eric Helm scored two goals apiece, and Nick Losh and Michael Helm each scored one. Michael Helm also had three assists, and Tanzillo and James Benages had two apiece. Also with assists were Evan Jewson, Eric Helm and Midas Bacidore.

MIAMI – Jose Fernandez escaped from Cuba by boat on his fourth try as a teenager, and when his mother fell into the Yucatan Channel during the journey, he jumped in and pulled her out.

Fernandez’s heroic backstory made his death early Sunday that much more heart-wrenching. The charismatic Miami Marlins ace was killed in a boating accident at age 24.

Fernandez and two other people died when their 32-foot vessel slammed into a jetty off Jose Miami Beach, authoriFernandez ties said.

Authorities didn’t know the time of the crash. The capsized boat was found shortly after 3 a.m.

“All I can do is scream in disbelief,” said Hall of Famer Tony Perez, a Marlins executive and native of Cuba. “Jose won the love of all. I feel as if I had lost a son.”

Major League Baseball released a statement saying it was “stunned and devastated.”

“He was one of our game’s great young stars who made a dramatic impact on and off the field since his debut in 2013,” commissioner Rob Manfred said. “Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, the Miami Marlins organization and all of the people he touched in his life.”

The Marlins’ game Sunday at home against the Atlanta Braves was canceled.

The Braves, along with several other teams, quickly offered condolences.

“Hands down one of my favorite guys to watch pitch! He brought nothing but intensity and passion,” Boston Red Sox pitcher David Price tweeted.

Within hours after the news broke, Marlins players gathered at the ballpark to grieve together.

“A lot of words were said – meaningful words and emotion and prayer,” team president David Samson said. “Jose is a member of this family for all time.”

Samson spoke at a news conference while surrounded by every player on the Marlins, except their ace. The players wore team jerseys – black ones. Pitcher David Phelps stared at the floor and shook his head, while outfielder Christian Yelich took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. Their eyes were red.

Hill flanked Samson and unsuccessfully fought back tears. Slugger Giancarlo Stanton didn’t speak but later posted a tribute on Instagram.

“I’m still waiting to wake up from this nightmare,” Stanton said. “I lost my brother today and can’t quite comprehend it. The shock is overwhelming.

What he meant to me, our team, the city of Miami, Cuba & everyone else in the world that his enthusiasm/heart has touched can never be replaced. I can’t fathom what his family is going through because We, as his extended Family are a wreck.”

Fernandez was on a vessel that hit a jetty near a harbor entrance, said Lorenzo Veloz of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. The overturned boat remained in the water for several hours, its nose pointed skyward, as debris from the crash was scattered over some of the large jagged rocks.

Veloz described the condition of the boat as “horrible.”

City of Miami Fire-Rescue workers were seen carrying bodies, draped and on stretchers, at the Coast Guard station after sunrise. They were taken to the medical examiner’s office. Two bodies were found under the vessel and a third was found on the jetty.

The names of the other two individuals were withheld pending notification of relatives, the Coast Guard said.

“It does appear that speed was involved due to the impact and the severity of it,” Veloz said. “It does appear to be that they were coming at full speed

when they encountered the jetty, and the accident happened.”

Fernandez died from trauma and not drowning, said Veloz, who added there was no immediate indication that alcohol or drugs were a cause in the crash.

He said none of the three victims wore a life jacket.

The boat was owned by a friend of Fernandez.

“It does pertain to a friend of Jose who is very well connected with several Marlins players, and I have stopped that boat before for safety inspections with other Marlins players on board,” Veloz said. “We know that this boat knows the area. We just can’t answer why this happened.”

Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria was out of town but planned to fly to Miami.

“Sadly, the brightest lights are often the ones that extinguish the fastest,” Loria said in a statement. “Jose left us far too soon, but his memory will endure in all of us.”

A native of Santa Clara, Cuba, Fernandez was unsuccessful in his first three attempts to defect, and spent several months in prison. At 15, he and his mother finally made it to Mexico, and were reunited in Tampa, Florida, with his father, who had escaped from Cuba two years earlier.

The Marlins drafted him in 2011, and Fernandez was in the majors two years later at 20. He went 38-17 in his four seasons with Miami, winning the NL’s Rookie of the Year award in 2013, and was twice an All-Star.

8 BOYS SOCCER: PEPSICO SHOWDOWN FINALS

Huntley boys follow girls’ lead, win title

Addison Trail tops CLS in 2nd bracket final in Chicago

By JOHN WILKINSON

jwilkinson@shawmedia.com CHICAGO – Huntley coach Kris Grabner was more prepared for winning the PepsiCo Showdown this time.

After his Huntley girls team won a PepsiCo Showdown title in April, Grabner knew the soda-spraying celebration that came with winning this tournament.

On Sunday at Illinois Institute of Technology, the Red Raiders beat Lincoln-Way West, 1-0, to take the PepsiCo Showdown Buddy’s Helpers Bracket championship.

Before the Red Raiders sprayed soda all over each other, tinting their white jerseys brown, Grabner made sure to pass his phone off to someone, and afterward he had a change of shirt ready for the ride home.

Huntley became the first school to have both its boys and girls teams win

almost an entire half left to play, and with a team like that, they’ve got some weapons.”

In the next game, the final of the Gatorade Bracket, Crystal Lake South lost, 5-1, to Addison Trail.

Things fell apart for South (9-4-1) in the span of nine minutes.

Addison Trail’s Martin Juarez opened the scoring with a blast from the top of the box into the top corner in the 19th minute. Three minutes later, Jonathan Hernandez doubled the lead, and Enrique Luna-Casillas scored twice to make it 4-0 by the 28th minute.

Within the first five minutes of the second half, Tomasz Kania gave Addison Trail a 5-0 lead.

Andrew Grabowski got a goal back for South in the 54th minute, fighting off a couple of defenders and finishing.

“Our goal was to get to a final, and we did,” Gators coach Brian Allen said. “We weren’t (just) happy to be here. We thought we could go out and compete. And for about 20 (minutes), I thought we executed our game plan pretty well, but for whatever reason after the first goal, the wheels came off. Then it’s going to be hard to chase a team like that.”

Huntley defensive end Olalere Oladipo walked off the field disgusted with what has transpired.

“That’s sad,” Oladipo said to no one in particular. “It was one guy. It’s sad.”

Cary-Grove, already in control, had just gobbled up 7:26 on a 60-yard drive to cap its 33-7 Fox Valley Conference football victory over the Red Raiders.

The one guy was fullback Tyler Pennington, who carried on 10 of the 11 plays and gained 56 of the yards, which is what Oladipo was alluding to. Pennington lunged into the end zone, then got a well-earned lift up from his teammates.

Pennington had missed two games with a sprained ankle; Huntley would not have minded if he had missed one more. He finished with 26 carries for 163 yards and two touchdowns. He had 22 carries for 103 yards in the second half.

“They called my number a lot. That’s the way it went,” Pennington said. “I went with the playcalling and did the best I could. It feels great to start play-

Pennington admitted he was tired, but he missed two weeks of running.

He worked out on an elliptical machine and a stationary bike while receiving treatment on his ankle. Last week, he practiced again to prepare for a pivotal FVC game.

The victory puts C-G (4-1 overall, 4-1 FVC) in position to go 8-1 and earn a high playoff seed. Huntley likely was the Trojans’ toughest remaining opponent for the last five games.

C-G coach Brad Seaburg was thrilled to be able to give the ball to the school’s career rushing leader so many times in the second half.

“Our guys really came in and finished it,” Seaburg said. “Some of those runs, Tyler just gritted out the 4 and 5 yards.”

Pennington’s most impressive run may have been his first of the game.

A Huntley defender grabbed him and spun around, but Pennington fell on the defender and did not touch the ground.

He popped up off the Raiders player and went for 44 yards.

Tough to catch: Huntley’s elusive quarterback Eric Mooney had 140 yards at halftime, but C-G’s defense came up with two big turnovers for a 20-7 lead at that point. Mooney finished with 31 carries for 162 yards and caused plenty of concern for the Trojans.

“Mooney’s out of his mind,” Raiders coach Matt Zimolzak said. “That kid works so hard. At some point, we have to be able to help him out more. We have to get better at all the other stuff.”

CUBS

Cubs edge Cardinals

By TOM MUSICK For the Sun-Times

Fans at Wrigley Field stand for a minute of silence for Miami Marlins pitcher Jose Fernandez, who was killed early Sunday in a boating accident in Miami.

CHICAGO – David Ross homered and teamed with Jon Lester for another scoreless performance, and the Cubs hurt St. Louis’ wild-card chances with a 3-1 victory over the Cardinals on Sunday night.

Ben Zobrist had three hits and scored two runs as the Cubs finished with a major leaguebest 57-24 home record. It’s the most home wins for the Cubs since they went 58-19 at the West Side Grounds in 1910.

The Cardinals lost for the third time in four games, wasting a chance to improve their playoff positioning. They remain a half-game back of San Francisco for the second NL wild card after the Giants lost 4-3 at San Diego earlier in the day.

Ross, Lester’s regular catcher, plans to retire after the season and was greeted with a long standing ovation when he came to the plate in the second inning. St. Louis catcher Yadier Molina walked halfway to the mound, forcing the unassuming Ross to take in the moment, and he took off his batting helmet to acknowledge the cheering crowd of 40,859.

“His personality was so infectious,” Coghlan said. “He just had a joy for life.”

The tragedy hit Coghlan hard.

“I lost my dad to a car accident,” Coghlan said. “When it happens that sudden, it just feels like a dream. You feel like you’re in a bad dream and you hope you wake up and it changes.

“I was looking at pictures of him, and it felt like he was still here.”

– The Associated Press Like Soler, Aroldis Chapman also mourned the loss of his fellow Cuban.

He described him as a good friend.

“Living in Miami, we did hang out,” We would have long conversations. We Chapman said. “We did spend time would talk a lot.

“It was very special for me.” together in the offseason. He would Fernandez faced the Cubs twice this come by my house, I would go by his.

WHITE SOX 3, INDIANS 0

Rodon dazzles; Indians fail to clinch at home

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN

dvanschouwen@suntimes.com

CLEVELAND – Carlos Rodon was at his absolute best Sunday. Todd Frazier was at his sneakiest.

Together, they helped the White Sox steal a 3-0 victory that gave them a series victory over the Cleveland Indians and denied the AL Central leaders a chance to clinch the division championship on their home field.

Rodon, a 23-year-old second-year lefthander, did not allow a run over eight innings of two-hit ball. His 11 strikeouts were a season high and matched a career high. The eight innings were a season high and matched a career high.

Rodon (8-10, 4.08 ERA) allowed leadoff singles to Brandon Guyer in the fifth and Carlos Santana in the seventh. After Santana’s hit, he struck out five of the last six batters he faced. Rodon walked three and became the first pitcher at Progressive Field since Justin Verlander in 2011 to work eight or more scoreless in-

nings with two hits or fewer and 10 or more strikeouts.

“That’s the best I’ve seen him,” manager Robin Ventura said. “Strike one was the biggest thing, and it was with authority, and it was placed well. And it just seemed like he got better as the game moved along.”

When Guyer singled, Coco Crisp walked and Carlos Rodon Chris Gimenez bunted them over to start the fifth, Rodon got Michael Martinez on a short fly and struck out Rajai Davis.

“You see it on pitchers’ faces sometimes, they have antics out there with a pouty face” when things get stressful, Frazier said. “He didn’t have that, he just bulldogged through it.”

Rodon had his changeup and slider working and a fastball that hit 97.

“I was able to drive the ball today and when I’m going good that’s the way it is, driving the ball through the zone and

attacking hitters,’’ he said. “It needs to stay like that.”

Sanchez drove in Frazier from second with a two-out single after Frazier got a sneaky, walk-off lead on Josh Tomlin to steal second with two outs. Sanchez drove in pinch runner J.B. Shuck with a sacrifice fly, and Frazier walked, stole second again for his team-high 14th steal of the year on right-hander Zach McAllister in his familiar fashion and scored on catcher Omar Narvaez’s twoout single.

“I’m not the fastest guy, but if I can get a step ahead and get two or three or four when the pitcher throws it, [the catcher is] not going to be able to throw it,’’ said Frazier, who said he learned a few tricks from former Reds great Joe Morgan when he was in that team’s farm system.

Frazier had been tied with Adam Eaton for the modest team lead with 12 until this past week.

“Oh yeah,” Frazier said. “I told Eaton I was going to get him.”

CHICAGO – Jorge Soler was about 12 years old when he was teammates with Jose Fernandez in Cuba.

Even then, Soler said Fernandez was happy and vibrant. On a team filled with talented players, Fernandez set himself apart with his positive attitude and powerful arm.

“We even traveled together to Venezuela to play in a tournament,” Soler said through a translator. “Since he was a child, since we were kids, I knew he had something. He had a talent.”

On Sunday, Soler and the rest of his teammates mourned the death of Fernandez. The Marlins’ ace was killed along with two others in an overnight boating accident off Miami Beach. He was 24.

The Cubs honored Fernandez with a moment of silence before the game.

The center-field scoreboard listed his No. 16 alone in the corner. Outside Wrigley Field, the marquee read, “Jose Fernandez – 1992-2016.”

Chris Coghlan wiped tears as he thought about his former teammate.

He played with Fernandez in 2013, which marked Coghlan’s final season with the Marlins and Fernandez’s first.

Fernandez reached the All-Star Game that season as a 20-year-old.

Wisconsin climbs to LSU fires Miles, OC; No. 8 after latest win Irish’s Kelly cans DC The Associated Press

Wisconsin moved up to No. 8 in The Associated Press college football poll, and LSU became the second preseason top-10 team to drop out of the rankings in the first month of the season.

There were few changes in the Top 25 as the only four ranked teams that lost did so to other ranked teams.

Wisconsin moved up three spot after dominating Michigan State, 30-6. Texas A&M moved up a spot to No. 9.

LSU (2-2), which started the season No. 5, joined Notre Dame as preseason top-10 teams to fall out of the poll.

Hartline out: Zimolzak does not expect defensive tackle Tyler Hartline to return for a while. Hartline suffered a knee injury against Hampshire in Week 4 and had an MRI on Friday to determine the damage.

Zimolzak appreciated the work of Sam Harris filling in.

“Sam’s normally a fullback,” Zimolzak said. “He’s in there chewing up ankles and doing what he can inside.”

The Raiders also might miss guard Justin Domingo for a while. Domingo was taken off C-G’s field Friday on a cart with a sprained right ankle he could barely walk on.

Thunder injuries: Woodstock North coach Jeff Schroeder hopes the Thunder will get a favorable report on junior guard Zach Schau this week. Schau left Friday’s 31-20 loss to Richmond-Burton with a knee injury. Schroeder thought it might be an LCL injury.

that’s what we’re hoping for,” Schroeder said. Schau will see a doctor Monday.

Running back Casey Dycus suffered a hand injury, but Schroeder expects him to play this week against Johnsburg.

“He’ll have X-rays on his hand, he hurt it early on,” Schroeder said. “I didn’t realize he hurt it until halftime.

He just kept plugging away and they taped it up. Worst-case scenario, they’ll put something (a pad) on it.”

Hill-Male hurt: R-B running back Jesse Hill-Male left Friday’s game in the first half with a right knee injury, conjuring the horrible memories of last season when he tore his left ACL. Rockets coach Pat Elder said HillMale will see a doctor Monday. He had rushed for a touchdown and caught a 54-yard pass from Brady Gibson for another big gain as R-B upset Woodstock North.

Marian’s early gamble: Marian Central opened Friday’s 28-15 win over Joliet Catholic with an onside kick. After backto-back losses, coach Mike Maloney said he wanted to see his team have some fun again, and the decision to open the game

LSU fired football coach Les Miles and offensive coordinator Cam Cameron on Sunday, and promoted defensive line coach Ed Orgeron to interim head coach.

The moves came less than 24 hours after Miles briefly watched his players celebrate what they thought was a last-second winning touchdown pass at Auburn, only to walk off the field with a loss after officials determined on video replay time had expired before the ball was snapped.

It was the latest of several frantic finishes in which the clock management of a Miles-coached offense had come under intense scrutiny.

It will go down as the last.

“Coach Miles has done a tremendous job here and he’s been a great ambassador for our University, which makes this even more difficult,” LSU athletic director Joe Alleva said in a written statement.

“However, it’s apparent in evaluating the program through the first month of the season that a change has to be made.

“We have an obligation to our student-athletes to put them in the best position to have success on the football field each week. We have great confidence that coach Org-

with an onside attempt was part of that.

They also thought the Hilltoppers might have been leaving an opportunity open.

“They weren’t as disciplined up front (on film),” Maloney said. “We saw in a couple games they left a little bit early.”

The attempt didn’t work, but the Hurricanes weren’t worried. Maloney trusts his defense, which produced three turnovers in the second half.

“They’re a spirited bunch,” Maloney said of the defense. “We preach takeaways and have your mind on the football and get it any way you can.”

Jake Bahl had a sack and a pair of tackles for loss. Maloney said the Hurricanes’ offense has trouble blocking him in practice. Riley Lambert and Wyatt Awe had interceptions and Sam Limbaugh blocked a punt.

Ending a run: Maloney won a state title with Joliet Catholic when he played there and Friday’s victory ended a remarkable string of 18 consecutive playoff appearances at 18 consecutive seasons.

The Hilltoppers are 0-5 and will not make the playoffs for only the second

eron will do just that.”

Miles’ firing, reported first by The Advocate of Baton Rouge, came hours after LSU (2-2, 1-1 Southeastern Conference), which was ranked 18th last week, dropped out of the Top 25 in the latest AP Poll released Sunday afternoon.

Miles, who was in his 12th season, went 114-34 at LSU, the second-most victories in school history behind Charles McClendon’s 137 victories from 1962 to 1979.

Notre Dame fires defensive coordinator: At South Bend, Indiana,

Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly fired defensive coordinator Brian VanGorder on Sunday, hours after an embarrassing 38-35 home loss to Duke dropped the Fighting Irish – who started the season ranked No. 10 – to 1-3.

“I had time last night to evaluate our current situation and made what I felt to be the best decision for the program,” Kelly said.

Greg Hudson, a former Irish linebacker under Lou Holtz who was hired as a defensive analyst over the summer, was named VanGorder’s replacement. Hudson previously served as defensive coordinator at Purdue, East Carolina and Minnesota, as well as assistant head coach and linebackers coach at Florida State.

time in 36 seasons. The last time they missed was in 1997, Maloney’s sophomore year and current head coach Don Sharp’s first season as coach.

A-H ready to rebound: Despite consecutive lopsided losses, Alden-Hebron will try to get its playoff hopes back on track against Hiawatha next week. Giants coach John Lalor said he hopes the players can reset themselves, knowing Chicago Hope and Ottawa Marquette were the best two teams on their schedule and that a playoff berth still is attainable.

“I hope the kids can do some of that.

They know I never quit,” Lalor said.

“And I would hope they think we’ve got four games coming up, we’ve still got a chance to go on a roll and make the playoffs.

“But we’ve got to have better focus, all through the week. Young or not, I’m tired of hearing that excuse. We’re halfway through the season. My freshmen aren’t freshmen anymore. I always say that. I’ve said that for 14 years. We’re halfway through. You’re not freshmen.

You’re not sophomores. Everybody’s up.

We’ve got to pick it up.”

PGA TOUR: TOUR CHAMPIONSHIP

McIlroy wins it all

By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press

ATLANTA – Rory McIlroy holed two shots on the 16th hole at East Lake that made him a most unlikely FedEx Cup champion on Sunday.

The first one he didn’t even see go in.

Three shots behind with three holes to play at the Tour Championship, McIlroy holed a pitching wedge from 137 yards for eagle that gave him the spark he needed to close with a 6-under-par 64 and join a three-way playoff with the FedEx Cup title riding on the outcome.

“I knew I was right back in the golf tournament,” he said.

Four playoff holes later on the 16th, after Ryan Moore made a par putt from just outside 15 feet, McIlroy knocked in

his 15-foot birdie putt to win two trophies he desperately wanted – the Tour Championship and the FedEx Cup. “Just to see that ball drop, and everything that’s come together for me this year ... to pull it off was really special,” McIlroy said, his voice still hoarse from screaming over so many quality shots, so many clutch moments over the final two hours at East Lake.

McIlroy picked up $11.53 million in one day – the $10 million FedEx Cup bonus and $1.53 million for the Tour Championship, his second victory in three weeks that made him the first player to win four FedEx Cup playoff events.

His only hope was to win the Tour Championship and have Dustin Johnson finish worse than second alone. Johnson closed with a 73 and tied for sixth.
