A massive California wildfire that has already destroyed nearly 800 structures scorched another 56   000 acres on Sunday   making it the fifth largest such blaze in recorded state history   as it ran toward picturesque coastal cities . But fire officials said as darkness fell that with the hot   dry Santa Ana winds not as fierce as expected   crews had been successful in building some fire lines between the flames and the towns of Montecito and Carpinteria . “ This is a menacing fire   certainly   but we have a lot of people working very diligently to bring it under control  ” Santa Barbara County Sheriff Bill Brown told an evening press conference . Still   some 5   000 residents remained under evacuation orders in the two communities   near Santa Barbara and about 100 miles ( 160 km ) northwest of Los Angeles . Some 15   000 homes were considered threatened . The Thomas Fire   the worst of six major blazes in Southern California in the last week and already the fifth largest in the state since 1932   has blackened 230   000 acres ( 570   000 hectares )  more than the area of New York City . It has destroyed 790 houses   outbuildings and other structures and left 90   000 homes and businesses without power . The combination of Santa Ana winds and rugged terrain in the mountains that run through Santa Barbara and Ventura counties have hampered firefighting efforts   and officials said the Thomas Fire was only 10 percent contained on Sunday evening   down from 15 percent earlier in the day . But wind gusts recorded at 35 - 40 miles per hour were less than those predicted by forecasters   giving crews a chance to slow the flames ’ progress down slopes above the endangered communities . The fires burning across Southern California have forced the evacuation of more 200   000 people and destroyed some 1   000 structures . Among them are residents of Montecito   one of the state ’ s wealthiest enclave and home to such celebrities as Oprah Winfrey . Emmy Leikin   an Emmy - winning songwriter who was ordered to evacuate her Montecito home at 9 a . m . on Sunday   said she fled with only her cell phone   medication   eyeglasses and a few apples . Leikin   74   said she doesn ’ t know the condition of her home and belongings but “ none of that means anything when it is your safety .” Firefighters knock down flames as they advance on homes atop Shepherd Mesa Road in Carpinteria   California   U .

They have   however   been far less deadly than the blazes in Northern California ’ s wine country in October that killed over 40 . In the last week   only one death has been reported   a 70 - year - old woman who died Wednesday in a car accident as she attempted to flee the flames in Ventura County . Scores of horses have died   including at least 46 at a thoroughbred training facility in San Diego county . Residents and firefighters alike have been alarmed by the speed with which the fires spread   reaching into the heart of cities like Ventura .

Peggy Scissons   78    arrived at the shelter with  her  dog last Wednesday   after residents of  her  mobile home park were forced to leave .  She  has not yet found out whether  her  home is standing . “ I don ’ t know what ’ s gonna happen next or whether I ’ ll be able to go home  ”  she  said . “ It would be one thing if I were 40 or 50   but I ‘ m 78 . What the heck do I do ?” James Brown   57   who retired from Washington State ’ s forestry service and has lived in Ventura for a year   was forced to leave his house along with his wife last week because both have breathing problems . “ We knew a fire was coming   but we didn ’ t know it would be this bad  ” said Brown   who is in a wheelchair . Some of the other fires   in San Diego and Los Angeles counties   have been largely controlled by the thousands of firefighters on the ground this week . Both the Creek and Rye fires in Los Angeles County were 90 percent contained by Sunday morning   officials said   while the Skirball Fire in Los Angeles ’ posh Bel Air neighborhood was 75 percent contained . North of San Diego   the 4   100 - acre ( 1   660 hectare ) Lilac Fire was 75 percent contained by Sunday and most evacuation orders had been lifted .

Stephen Curry  is turning 3s into âforeâ!
The Warriors star  who moonlights as a professional golfer  confessed to practicing his swing in a hotel room Thursday  which unsurprisingly did not end well.  Curry  posted a photo of the damage on  his  Instagram account  which showed a shattered glass table and shards of glass scattered over the chair and carpet.
âWhen you feel like youâre on the @pgatour so you gotta get some swings going in the hotel room #idiot â  he  wrote.
The two-time NBA MVP made his professional golf debut last August  competing on the Web.com Tour in the Ellie Mae Classic. Though he missed the cut after finishing the first two rounds 8-over and 11 strokes off the mark   Curry  gave the world a taste of  his  dual athletic talent. Out of the 156-man field  he finished ahead of four players.
While  Curry  may have to reprove himself on the links  he shouldnât have to worry about the incident causing any damage to his bank account. The 29-year-old signed the first $200 million contract in NBA history last June  keeping him in Golden State through the 2021-22 season.

As Dr. Tom Wardzala turned on the volume to the custom-fitted devices from a nearby computer   Daleshaâs  eyes darted in  his  direction  and she nodded quickly.
Davis and his partner  Judith Powe  first met  Dalesha  about three years ago while investigating  her  rape in a south suburb where  she  once lived.
In the ensuing months  the detectives  along with sheriffâs investigator Ruth Mendez  who knows sign language  took  Dalesha  as their charge  helping  her  reach  her  dream of walking across the stage to graduate high school. During their first meeting   she  had surprised them with the request  saying it was a step to bigger things. Like a job or moving out of a dangerous neighborhood.
The detectives became  her  contact at the Chicago public school where  she  enrolled. They took  her  to appointments  helped with community service hours  shopped for school supplies and cheered  her  on when  she  collected  her  diploma.
Since  her  graduation in June  even more has changed for  Dalesha   who is not being identified by the Tribune because  she  is a rape victim. Donations have been given to  her .  She  was scheduled to start work at a grocery store on Friday. But most life-changing was the offer from HearStrong Foundation to contribute to  her  college tuition and fit  her  with hearing aids.
 Dalesha   whose name has been changed to protect  her  identity  receives new hearing aids at the Sertoma Speech & Hearing Center on Nov. 9  2017  in Palos Hills. The 22-year-old sexual assault survivor was born with total hearing loss. (Erin Hooley/Chicago Tribune) (Erin Hooley/Chicago Tribune)
 Dalesha  will be among those honored Monday night at a HearStrong event downtown. The Chicago-based organization raises awareness and advocates for the deaf community.
Brian McCaskey  a Bears vice president who suffers from hearing loss and co-founded HearStrong  read about  Dalesha âs story in the Tribune in June and offered the help.
 Dalesha  was sexually assaulted by acquaintances in a home in 2013.  She  had grown angry and confused when the investigation languished â until Davis  Powe and Mendez reached out to  her .
 Dalesha  had already faced similar adversity.  She  had been the victim of another rape in 2010.
Susan Herman  a national expert on crime victims who has written a book on the subject  says  Dalesha  has received the kind of support that all victims of violence need.
âThis is an unusual case â the length they have gone to meet her needs â said Herman  praising  Dalesha  for articulating her concerns. âWe have an obligation to not only hold offenders accountable but to help victims rebuild lives.â
In the push to help  Dalesha  stretch to that next level â attending college â the detectives have learned that she in fact had earned in 2014 the credit hours she needed at a south suburban school to graduate.
âShe had no clue â Mendez  the investigator who knows sign language  said of  Dalesha . âIf anything  we gave her that. For that I will be forever grateful. She got the experience to cross that stage  to feel like a graduate. It goes to show you how important it is to have a support system.â
Wardzala  who works for Sertoma Speech & Hearing Center  said the hearing aids given to  Dalesha  became available only about half a year ago.
Most people with profound hearing loss benefit from hearing aids  Wardzala said. But not everyone has access to the devices they need  and certainly not the high-end ones given to  Dalesha  that cost about $6 000 a pair.
