A person was killed and six others were injured, including four firefighters, in an extra-alarm fire Sunday morning at a condominium in northwest suburban Des Plaines.
Firefighters responded at 7:42 a.m. to the blaze in the 9300 block of Landings Lane, according to the North Maine Fire Protection District and the Cook County medical examiner’s office.
Firefighters battling the blaze at its source on the sixth floor were eventually met with heavy fire conditions and had to back out of the building, the fire protection district said. Crews then fought the fire from the exterior of the building to allow firefighters to go back inside. During the response, firefighters were able to rescue two residents who were trapped on their balconies.
An unresponsive person was taken to Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge and pronounced dead at 9:02 a.m., authorities said. The person’s identity hasn’t been released.
Two other people were also taken to hospitals, the fire protection district said. Their conditions weren’t immediately known.
In addition, four firefighters were rushed to hospitals in unknown conditons after suffering heat exhaustion and minor injuries, the fire protection district said.
The condominium was ultimately deemed uninhabitable by the Cook County Building and Zoning Department, the fire protection district said. American Red Cross volunteers arrived on the scene to assist residents who were affected by the fire, which impacted about 35 units and several families.
Anyone who needs assistance should call the Chicago & Northern IL Red Cross at (312) 729-6258.
MIAMI — Dwyane Wade looked into the camera, stood alone in the middle of a darkened room and talked for 10 minutes. He struggled with his words at times, unable to control his emotions. He wept.
And finally, he made what he called the hardest decision of his life.
One more year.
Retirement needs to wait a little bit longer for Wade, who announced Sunday night in a video taped earlier in the day that he’s returning for a 16th and final NBA season. He basically spent the entirety of the last four months weighing his options, and retirement — even just a few days ago — was an extremely real possibility in his mind.
“I’ve always did things my way,” said Wade, who is expected to sign a $2.4 million, one-year deal later this week. “Whether they’ve good or whether they’ve been bad, I got here because I’ve done things the way that I feel is right for me and right for my family. And what I feel is right … I feel it’s right to ask you guys to join me for one last dance, for one last season.
“This is it. I’ve given this game everything that I have, and I’m happy about that, and I’m going to give it for one last season, everything else I have left.”

Wade is Miami’s career leader in points, assists, steals and games played. His status was an enormous question mark this summer, especially now with the team a week away from going to training camp. Miami has signed 19 players for camp, one shy of the maximum preseason allotment, and it was never a question why they kept that last spot open.
It’s filled now, by the most accomplished Heat player ever. Yet it was no guarantee that Wade, a 22.5-point scorer for his career, would return.
His decision took longer than some expected, partly because he was deciding what he wanted to do, partly because he was dealing with some personal business and some family business, and partly because it took him and the Heat some time to figure out what made sense for both sides. A person familiar with Wade’s thinking told The Associated Press that the guard was strongly considering retirement until late last week, when Heat coach Erik Spoelstra and others made a late push to help him decide.
Whatever they said worked.
“Can I physically do it? Can I physically get out of bed every day to do this? Can I step with every step hurting in the morning? Can I deal with the travel? Can I be away from my family? Is it selfish for me to want to continue to be away from my family?” Wade said, reeling off a list of questions that he pondered when making the decision.
He apparently found his answers.
“These things to you guys may seem small,” Wade said. “But to me, they’re real. I feel like my family has put me first for so many years, for good reasons. But there comes a point in time when we’ve all got to think about someone else, especially the ones around you that have supported you, supported your dreams, supported your journey like my family have.”
Wade’s return basically means that Miami will have the same team — a young, rising team it believes in many respects — this coming season as it had last season, when it went 44-38 and claimed the No. 6 seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs.
This time, though, the Heat will have Wade from the season’s outset.
He spent 2016-17 in his hometown of Chicago, then began last season with Cleveland. Wade returned to the Heat in a trade last February, appearing in 26 games including playoffs, enamoring Miami again even while coming off the bench and averaging 12.9 points. His impact on the court was clear, and so was his impact off the court — Wade was very involved in the response to the Feb. 14 massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School that left 17 dead, including a student named Joaquin Oliver who was a Heat fan.
Oliver’s parents buried their son in a Wade jersey.
That touched Wade deeply, and he spent the latter portion of last season dealing with both the anguish of that and the death of his longtime agent Henry Thomas. Wade would eventually say that he felt lost at times last season without Thomas, that he wasn’t always getting the same joy out of playing the game as he once did.
“When I lost Hank, I lost a part of me,” Wade said, wiping away tears.
The plan going into this season will be to keep Wade in that reserve role like last season. While he likely won’t be starting, it’s fairly certain that he’ll be finishing them — Spoelstra utilized Wade as a closer last season, and Wade loves that role.
Wade could have gotten a deal elsewhere this summer, though moving to another team again was never a consideration for him this time around. It was Miami or nowhere.
Miami won.
“Let’s enjoy it,” Wade said. “Let’s have some joy through this last season. Let’s push this young team over the hump and let’s write our own story to the end of this career, together. Together.”

WASHINGTON — Time Magazine is being sold by Meredith Corp. to Marc Benioff, a co-founder of Salesforce, and his wife, it was announced Sunday.
Meredith announced that it was selling Time magazine for $190 million in cash to Benioff, one of four co-founders of Salesforce, a cloud computing pioneer.
Meredith had completed the purchase of Time along with other publications of Time Inc. earlier this year.
The Benioffs are purchasing Time personally, and the transaction is unrelated to Salesforce.com, where Benioff is chairman and co-CEO and co-founder. The announcement by Meredith said that the Benioffs would not be involved in the day-to-day operations or journalistic decisions at Time. Those decisions will continue to be made by Time’s current executive leadership team, the announcement said.
“We’re pleased to have found such passionate buyers in Marc and Lynne Benioff for the Time brand,” Meredith president and CEO Tom Harty said in a statement. “For over 90 years, Time has been at the forefront of the most significant events and impactful stories that shape our global conversation.”
Meredith, the publisher of such magazines as People and Better Homes & Gardens, had put four Time Inc. publications up for sale in March. Negotiations for the sale of the three other publications — Fortune, Money and Sports Illustrated — are continuing.
The prospective sale is expected to close within 30 days. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Benioff said he and his wife were investing “in a company with tremendous impact on the world, one that is also an incredibly strong business. That’s what we’re looking for when we invest as a family.”
The purchase of Time by Benioff continues a trend of acquisitions of old-line media institutions by wealthy tech giants. The Washington Post was purchased by Amazon founder Jeff Bezos in 2013 for $250 million.
Time, like other magazines, has struggled with continued declines in print advertising and newsstand sales.

Buckle up, Chicago.
There is a wild ride ahead in the race to replace Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who decided not to seek a third term.
The latest contender is Bill Daley, the son and brother of Chicago mayors, whose candidacy starts at 12:01 a.m. on Monday, when he makes it official.
ANALYSIS
There are 21 contenders either in the saturated mayor’s race or seriously thinking about it.
Some start as varsity players, others are JV. (My thoughts on that are below.)
A candidate needs more than 50 percent of the vote to win the nonpartisan February mayoral election. If not, a runoff between the top two will be in April.
A plurality contest is seductive.
The more people in the race means a lower number of votes are needed to secure the top two spots. With a crowded field, that could be only 20 percent plus of the ballots.
There is no front-runner or obvious successor as the week kicks off with a Daley media blitz.
A different DaleyDaley opens his mayoral race through a series of 15 one-on-one interviews with news outlets, with embargoed tapings starting Friday and going through the weekend and Monday.
He’s avoiding a potentially chaotic press conference by using the less risky individual interview strategy. He’ll own Chicago political news on Monday. The free media exposure will establish him as a viable contender in one day.
Daley, a chief of staff to former President Barack Obama, a Commerce Secretary under former President Bill Clinton and before that Clinton’s point man on NAFTA, was also the presidential campaign chair for Al Gore. He quit the 2014 governor’s race after he jumped into the primary.

Is Daley’s course set in stone this time?
Daley is building a campaign team. Peter Cunningham is overseeing his communications. Cunningham worked for Arne Duncan when he was Education Secretary and Chicago Public Schools chief, and former Mayor Richard M. Daley.
Greg Goldner is advising Daley’s 2019 bid. He managed the 2003 re-election for Daley the second time he ran and Emanuel’s first congressional race.
Garcia’s petitionsWhile Cook County Commissioner Jesus “Chuy” Garcia is mulling a run, Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill., kicked off a draft drive last Wednesday; nominating petitions for him started circulating on Saturday.

Some 12,500 valid signatures must be collected by Nov. 26. A voter is supposed to sign only one petition.
The Nov. 6 factorMajor potential candidates on the Nov. 6 ballot have a reason to be coy until after the election. They want to take one election at time, though Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle has no opponent. Garcia and Rep. Mike Quigley are poised to win congressional seats.
Illinois Comptroller Susana Mendoza is the only one with a viable rival, Republican Darlene Senger, and she doesn’t want to do anything to put her seat in play.
Democratic gubernatorial candidate J.B. Pritzker and Illinois Comptroller Susana Mendoza demanded an apology from Gov. Bruce Rauner and his policy chief over an email seeking to blame U.S. Sen. Tammy Duckworth for a deadly Legionnaires’ outbreak in Quincy. | Tina Sfondeles/Sun-Times
If Bruce Rauner wins in NovemberBy controlling the purse strings, Mendoza has been able to lead the resistance to Gov. Bruce Rauner. If Republican Rauner holds off Democrat J.B. Pritzker and Mendoza also wins re-election, I guarantee you Mendoza does not run for mayor.
That’s because Rauner has the power to appoint her replacement.
The Michael Sacks playMega-rich Michael Sacks, the chairman and CEO of GCM Grosvenor, an Emanuel buddy, big philanthropist and political donor who is mulling a run, is the only one in the field with the ability to self-fund a multimillion-dollar campaign.
Though little known, Sacks has the money to quickly build a massive campaign and grow name ID with paid ads on TV and digital plays.
Businessman Michael Sacks is the one potential candidate with enough money to self-fund a major campaign. | Sun-Times file photo
A Sacks political adviser – who spoke on the condition of remaining nameless – told me Sunday, “Unlike others who have immediately jumped into the race, he is very focused on policy and seems most to want to ensure that progress at CPS (Chicago Public Schools), (City) Community Colleges, in neighborhood economic development and in corporate recruitment are not reversed by any candidate.
“He’s spending all of his energy now helping to build a unifying agenda that makes progress on what has been achieved but continues to tackle those problems for the next four years.”
So will Sacks spend his millions?
The adviser told me, “If history is a guide, he will certainly spend money to drive and protect that agenda. And if he sees a candidate emerge who wants to divide the city, he will absolutely engage.”
Lori Lightfoot latestLori Lightfoot, who jumped in the race before Emanuel’s surprise decision, was in Washington, D.C., last week, prospecting and hauling in $20,000 from two fundraising events, including one at Mayer Brown, her former law firm. That’s according to a campaign spokesman who did not want a name used.
