Before you make the leftturn from Baker City onHighway 7 toward SticesGulch, you see it. Wavesof black splashed acrossthe hillside that, with theabsence of smoke, look morelike strange patterns in ahaphazard art project than anatural disaster.

But the smoldering treestumps and hot spots lit­tered about the side of High­way 245 toward the Gulchgive way to the severity ofthe situation.

The narrow gully is in aponderosa pine forest justwest of the Dooley MountainHighway about 12 milessouth of Baker City. OnTuesday afternoon, resi­dents in the area receiveda Level 1, or "get ready",evacuation notice. Theywere the first neighborhoodin Baker County to receivesuch notice in response tothe Cornet-Windy RidgeComplex Fire.

August 17, 1990 NEWS OF RECORDProgress is being made toward fixing a troublesomesection of Baker City's industrial zoning ordinance.

Controversy has raged for the past18 months thatprovisions of the ordinance are too restrictive, too hard toapply, or allow too much staff discretion.

10 YEARS AGO

August 17, 2005Two years after waves of water from a breached irriga­

tion ditch slapped muddy handprints across a Baker Cityneighborhood, both city officials and residents wait whilea pair of civil lawsuits against the ditch owners meanderthrough the court system.

On Aug. 16, 2003, a 75-foot-long section of the SmithDitch collapsed on the steep north slope Spring GardenHill, on the east side of Baker City.

The Baker City Council last week stepped into the de­bate regarding a long-range forest management plan thathas already come under fire from elected county leadersacross Eastern Oregon.

Baker County already officially issued its rejection ofa draft proposal of the plan last week and on Friday, CityManager Mike Kee delivered a letter of support for thecounty's stance to the U.S. Forest Service office in town.

Friday was the deadline for comments and officialobjections to the plan.

"It was a one-page letter that talks about the econom­ics, the watershed, we more or less support the documentthe county put together," Kee said.

BaKer Conntyrangeland andforestpropertydamaged

By Joshua Dillenldillen©bakercityherald.com

The smell of smoke, a pinkish orange hueto the sunlight and ash filled air have beenthe norm in Baker County for the last week.

There are nearly 120,000 acres of range­land and forest burning in Baker Countyfrom the Cornet/Windy Ridge (south ofBaker City), Eagle Complex (east of MedicalSprings) and Eldorado (south of Unity) fires.

Almost a thousand (local and from acrossthe country) firefighters are battling thethree blazes.

A total of seven houses have been lost as aresult of the blazes according to CassandraUlven, public information officer for the statestructure protection team that arrived intown last week.

At a community fire meeting Saturday,Wallowa-Whitman National Forest Supervi­sor Tom Montoya said the country is underthe highest fire alert level possible.He said resources at a national level are

stretched thin.r We currently have 42 incident manage­

ment teams out. There are zero teams avail­able nationally," Montoya said."There are125 outstanding resource orders for crews(regionally). There's just nothing available."

He said it is impacting the ability to con­trol fires.

Montoya said that the Cornet and WindyRidge (now combined) fires are listed asnumber one and two priorities in the nation.

"That means when resources become avail­able, we get those resources," he said.'That'sa good thing."Sunday night, an update from the Oregon

Department of Forestry indicated that morehand crews are "trickling" in to the EldoradoFire.

Cooler weather has helped firefighters

ers.

gain some control of fires in most cases. An­other day oflower temperatures is expectedallowing for favorable conditions for firefight­

In spite of that, Sunday afternoon's windstoked the Eldorado Fire on the west andsouth sides.

Weather reports from the Boise WeatherCenter predict a dry cold front comingthrough the area early Monday with 10 to15-mph winds. Fire incident meteorologistsare calling for more difficult weather towardthe end of the week, according to the update.

"The weather and the number oflarge firesburning in the Pacific Northwest have madethis fire difficult,n said Eldorado Fire IncidentCommander Link Smith."However, we'veput a plan together that we feel will help usmeet our objectives, which is to minimizeacres burned while keeping safety for thepublic and firefighters a top priority."The dry cold that is expected to arrive

late today might bring increasing winds andsome lower humidity, said Bureau of LandManagement spokesperson Larry Moore.

"That's a concern," he said.r We hope thatit will pass through without incident. But wealways plan for the worst."

Moore said that firefighters will accom­plish as much as they can today to preparefor the possible weather change before thefront rolls in.

Sunday, aerial resources were used toassist in controlling the Cornet/Windy RidgeFire. Crews continue to build containmentlines around the perimeter of the fire and arealso patrolling and mopping around struc­tures and the edge of the fire line.

Cornet/Windy Ridge Fire OperationsSection Chief Todd Abell said there has beengood progress made over the weekend on thefire.

Editorial from Albany Democrat-Herald:

Oregon's new law requiring background checks forprivate gun transactions took effect last week, so youprobably feel a lot safer today.

No? That's understandable: Even as legislatorsdebated the controversial measure during this year'ssession, it never was clear whether it would havemuch of an effect in the real world.

And it's still not clear — especially with specula­tion that the measure, Senate Bill 941, will be widelyignored.

Under the terms of the bill, sales and other fire­arms transfers between private parties will requirea background check (including criminal and mental­health checks) conducted through licensed dealers.These background checks already have been re­quired for sales by licensed dealers at gun shows.

Oregon now is the 12th state requiring these so­called universal background checks for both hand­

guns and long guns.But how this will play out here remains shrouded

in uncertainty: For starters, no one knows for surehow many of these private transactions occur eachyear in Oregon. The Oregon State Police, whichalready handles the background checks required by

the federal government, has added three temporaryworkers to be sure that it can absorb any additionaldemand from the new state law. But because no oneknows how many private transactions take place inthe state, it will be impossible to gauge the effective­ness of the law.

In addition, even though more than 2,000 Orego­nians have the federal firearms licenses requiredto conduct background checks through the OregonState Police, it's not clear how many of them will per­form the checks. Already, some stores have signaledthat they likely will restrict their background checksto their customers who purchase guns, preferring notto get involved in the checks for a private transfer.

Add to that the fact that many county sherifs andcommissioners have made it clear that they havelittle interest in enforcing the law (or the necessaryresources to do so), and the stage is set for SenateBill 941 to take its place on that long, long list ofwell-meaning bills that never made much diference.

And that gets back to our fundamental issue withthe bill: Even though its supporters said it wouldhelp to keep guns out of the hands of people whoshouldn't have them, it seems extremely unlikely todo that. Someone who's determined to get his handson a gun still will be able to do so, and likely won'tbe hindered at all by the background check require­

In fact, the people who will be most hindered bythe requirements of Senate Bill 941 will be law­abiding gun owners who now must endure the extrahassle and cost every time they want to sell or swapa firearm with a friend or neighbor. (At least the billwas amended to exempt sales or transfers betweenfamily members.)

But even with that amendment, Senate Bill 941represents the worst kind oflegislation: It allowslegislators who support gun control the chance to telltheir backers that they took a stand against gun vio­lence, while the bill does no such thing. And the billconstrains our freedoms for an uncertain payoff — apayoA'that we won't ever be able to measure with

any certainty.

After Mitt Romney lost the 2012presidential election, Republican PartyChairman Reince Priebus commissionedan autopsy to determine what had gonewrong. High on the list: a yawning gen­der gap. Romney won the votes of mostmen but lost among female voters by 11percentage points; among single women,the margin was a daunting 36 points."Our candidates ... need to use languagethat addresses concerns that are onwomen's minds in order to let them knowwe are fighting for them," the RepublicanNational Committee recommended.

So Priebus must not be terribly happythat the party's ltemporaryl front-runner,Donald Trump, said Fox News anchorMegyn Kelly had"blood coming outofher wherever" when she asked himtough questions in last week's debate.

Trump's boorishness, however, isn'tthe GOPs biggest obstacle on the way togender parity.

A good chunk of the debate earlierthis month focused on abortion. In anattempt to appeal to social conserva­tives, several candidates steered rightinto what most voters will see as &ingeterritory.

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio said hethinks abortion should be illegal evenw hen a pregnancyresults fiom rape orincest, although he said he would sup­port legislation including those excep­tions if that was the only way to reduceabortions.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker reaf­firmed his view that abortion should beillegal with no exceptions, not even tosave a mother's life."There are manyother alternatives that can also protectthe life of that mother," he said.

And former Arkansas Gov. MikeHuckabee said he favored legislation toconfer constitutional rights on the un­

GUEST EDITORIAL

Editorial from the Los AngelesTimes:

Hillary Rodham Clinton's decision touse a private email server to transactofficial business as secretary of statewas a serious mistake even if it didn'tviolate the law and even if the vastmajority of her official communicationswere preserved on the governmentaccounts of the people she was commu­nicating with. Using a private accountwas bad policy and, with the server backin the headlines this week, it is provingto be bad politics as well.

Clinton has compounded her origi­nal error with an overly controllingresponse to inquiries about what wascontained in those messages. Her presi­dential campaign is paying a predict­able price in public confidence for thatstrategy.

On Tuesday, Clinton's campaignsaid she had agreed to turn the serverover to the Justice Department, along

born, an action that could undo the Roe v.Wade decision.

Polls have consistently found that nomore than one-quarter ofAmericansthink abortion should be illegal withoutany exceptions. A 2012 CNN poll, forexample, found that 83 percent of votersbelieved that abortion should be legalin cases of rape or incest, including 76percent of Republicans.

The last three GOP presidentialcandidates — Romney, John McCainand George W. Bush — all campaignedon antiabortion platforms but agreed tothose exceptions.

If Rubio, Walker or Huckabee win thenomination — and all three are in thetop tier in national polls — Democratswill seize on their hardline positions towiden the gender gap.

Indeed, Democratic fiont-runnerHillary Rodham Clinton has alreadypounced on GOP antiabortion rhetoric.

"These women that I have foughtfor, worked for, stood up for ... may losethe right to exercise a personal choice ifcertain Republicans were to be success­ful," Clinton said Monday.'What MarcoRubio said has as much of an impactlas Trump's comments), and it is deeplytroubling."

In case you missed it, Clinton is run­ning explicitly as a champion of women— a role she shied away fiom during herfirst presidential run in 2008.

All this talk about abortion lnot tomention menstruation) raises anotherproblem for the GOP: Those aren't theissues Republican strategists think cancarry their candidate into the WhiteHouse.

with a thumb drive containing cop­ies of thousands of messages alreadyprovided to the State Department. Theannouncement came after investigatorsconcluded some messages should havebeen marked and handled as classified.The server should have been turnedover long ago.That said, it's not clear that addi­

tional emails might be retrieved. WhenClinton turned over more than 30,000emails to the department in December,she said that she had deleted an equalnumber that were personal, includingmessages about the planning ofherdaughter's wedding and her mother'sfuneral. The problem was that it wasClinton who decided which emailswould be preserved and handed over, anarrangement that Republicans land oth­ersl were bound to see as suspicious.

Equally unsurprising, Republicansare rushing to judgment about thelatest developments in the controversy.

House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio,asserted that"Secretary Clinton's previ­ous statements that she possessed noclassified information were patentlyuntrue," and he demanded an investiga­tion ofher"mishandling of classifiedinformation."

In fact, it hasn't been established thatClinton sent or received emails con­taining information that was markedclassified or top secret. As the Clintoncampaign pointed out Wednesday, whenpreviously unclassified information isreviewed for public release, it is some­times classified retroactively. Unfortu­nately, such nuances are likely to be lostin the heat of a presidential campaign.

That is something a public figure asexperienced as Clinton should have rec­ognized long ago. The wounds she hasreceived in this controversy probablywon't be fatal to her candidacy, but theyare serious — and largely self-inflicted.

'This election, like most elections, isgoing to be about jobs and the economy,"Republican pollster David Winston toldme."If you're off talking about anothertopic, unless it's really pressing, you'renot focusing where you need to."

Winston analyzed the Fox Newsdebate and found that only five of themoderators'48 questions were about theeconomy — about 10 percent."It's thevoters' No. 1 concern, but it tied for fourthin the debate," he said, after questionsabout the candidates' electability, foreignpolicy and social issues.

Republican candidates have tried todiscuss the economy — Jeb Bush hassaid he11 aim for a 4 percent growth rate;Rubio has proposed a controversial taxreform — but they've been drowned outby arguments over abortion, immigrationand Tfuinp.

Clinton, meanwhile, has been able tofocus her campaign on economic propos­als, including financial reform and collegeloans.

'You can agree or disagree with whatshe's saying, but at least she can drivewhat the discourse is about,"Winstonsaid.

The one consolation for Republicans isthat Clinton hasn't been able to turn thatadvantage into a gain in the polls. AsNBC's Chuck Todd has noted, so far thiscampaign has mostly been an unpopu­larity contest — on both sides.

Six months before the first primary,there's still plenty of time for Trump'slead to evaporate and for other can­didates to turn the debate toward theeconomy. For now, though, the GOP stillhas a woman problem.

SEATTLE — BrockOsweiler was composed andefficient, leading the Den­ver Broncos to scores on allfive first-half possessions.An impressive effort, even ifit came against a makeshiftSeattle defense.Osweiler was 15 of 20 for

151 yards and a touchdownplaying the first half in theBroncos' 22-20 win overthe Seahawks to open thepreseason on Friday.

Starting in place ofPeyton Manning, who wentthrough pregame warmupsbut was just a spectator,Osweiler finished with a112.7 rating. He cappedhis night with a 17-yardtouchdown pass to tightend Virgil Green late in thefirst half for a 19-10 lead.Denver's ofFense finishedwith 240 yards in the half,although much of that camewith most of Seattle's start­ing defense standing on thesideline.

"Things felt very smoothout there tonight. So froma personal standpoint itprobably is my best perfor­mance to date, but I can'tsay that without those 10other guys I was out therewith tonight," Osweilersaid.

PITTSBURGH — Chris­ten Press scored three goalsSunday to power the UnitedStates to an 8-0 exhibitionromp over Costa Rica in itsfirst game since winningthe Women's World Cup inCanada last month.

The game marked theopening of a victory tourby the Americans and wasplayed before a crowd of44,028 at Heinz Field — thelargest to see a soccer gamein Pittsburgh.

Meghan Klingenberggrew up in Pittsburgh andrewarded her hometownfans with a goal. HeatherO'Reilly added two goals,with the other scores com­ing from Julie Johnston andWhitney Engen

"I thmk it was a veryprofessional performance,"O'Reilly said."There wereparts in the first half that Ithought were tough and wesort ofhad to grind throughmoments of the game, butwe kept pressing on as ateam and put together somereally good stufF and scoredsome nice goals. I thinkthere were some patchesof good and patches ofbad,but we worked throughthem and we're proud of ourperformance."

Press was two of Sun­day's six starters who did

not start in the World Cupfinal. Forward Alex Morgandid not play, having under­gone minor knee surgeryfollowing the World Cup.Goalkeeper Hope Solo andforward Abby Wambachentered in the second half.

Klingenberg scored afterbeing moved to midfielderto start the second half. Shelifted a cross from TobinHeath into the net to givethe United States a 5-0 leadin the 55th minute. She ranto the U.S. bench to grab aTerrible Towel — a morecommon sight at PittsburghSteelers games — andwaved it near midfield.

"It was wonderful," Klin­genberg said."Playing withmy teammates again isalways a blast. I love gettingon the field with them andbeing in my hometown, andhearing 44,000 people roarfor you is quite incredible....I don't know if you saw, butI like elbowed Abby out ofthe way to get to that Ter­rible Towel, so it was prettyspecial."

O'Reilly opened the scor­ing in the fourth minute.She intercepted a pass, andshot past goaltender DinniaDiaz.

The first of Press' twofirst-half goals came in the29th minute. She collectedher own rebound to send ashot past a diving Diaz.

The landscape of SticesGulch, where homes live offa rocky dirt road in a dipbetween several small hills,made combating the blazeparticularly diKcult. Highwinds on Thursday andFriday fanned the flames,causing the fire to shift andspread suddenly and posedas a challenge for fire crews.

Taking mylegs forgranted

I would be young if it weren't for mylegs.Back in 2011 after a series of

mishaps I was having an argumentwith myself about when and how I gotaround.

On days when the pain was bear­able, I scampered about as usual, fleet­ing here and yonder. On the days whenmoving about was won by the nearestchairs between necessary movements,my mind took wing to better days.

In"those days," my legs had takenme up the hill to the clay outcroppingon the hill where the Indians hadgathered clay to make pots, to thewater pumphouse even higher up, toMorgan Lake, to the Wallowas and theAnthonys to Strawberry Mountain, tobase camp on Mount Shasta, hundredsof miles in Switzerland, and, simply,just walking wherever I needed to go.

I remember as a young lass of walk­ing everywhere — to school, to church,to town, to play games in the street, toclimb the hills for the pure joy ofbeingoutside in the fresh air or to pick huck­leberries, search for mushrooms, orcrouch down to pick strawberries. Hoe­ing the garden or picking the producedidn't seem like work then. Climbingsteps was a breeze. It w as simply partof the day's activity.

We didn't have the use of cars likethey do now. A few of us had bicycles,which was also good for exercise, butmost of us just used our "Shanks'sPony" or "Shanks Mare" on which totravel.Have you heard of that term

"Shanks's Pony"?It simply means using your own legs

on which to get around — thighbone,leg bone, and foot bone, all connectedin action.

When I was very young my dadmade a stick pony for me and I gal­loped around using my own legs forthe pony legs and the cleverly fash­ioned head of the pony of wood andstring for a m ane connected to a ropefor reins.

That kept my heart beating and noone could have told me that I didn'treally have a horse on which to ride. Itwas later years that a real horse tookme where I wanted to go.I took my legs for granted, I guess,

and eventually I was pulling againstthe demands of age when joints,muscles, and accidents seemed to rule.

In other words, I began to resent therestrictions to my body that my mindfound intolerable.

I know that some of you willnot appreciate this dish but if you like hotwings, sliders and quick meals this one is foryou. You can add as much or as little of thehot wing sauce for your heat preference.

Mountain-grown blueberries have me changing my tuneI haven't always been a big fan ofblueber­

ries.In the past they've always seemed to disap­

point me and fall short of my expectations.I unfairly compared them with my favoritepurple fruit: huckleberries.

I've mixed blueberries with rhubarb toproduce"bluebarb" baked goods. The twoflavors combined are almost as good as that ofa huckleberry — almost.

But the past few summers, blueberries havetaken on a new attraction for me. Maybe it'sthe hype from health advocates, the OregonBlueberry Commission or the enjoyment ofpicking up a freshly picked box from the BakerCity Farmers Market that's changed my mind.

Back in June, a"media resource tool kit"

from the blueberry commission arrived in themail. It included a CD filled with blueberryfacts.It was alreadyAugust before I inspected the

CD and played it in my desktop computer atthe newspaper oSce.

Too late I learned that July was NationalBlueberry Month.

But not too late to pass on the blueberrycommission's proclamation that Oregon blue­berry growers are expecting a record harvest

CHRIS CQLLINS

AND SO ITGROWS

of more than 100 million pounds ofblueberriesthis year.

Or the news of the many health benefitsthat come with consuming blueberries, whichrange from helping to prevent age-related dis­eases, such as Alzheimer's and the eye diseasemacular degeneration, to promoting weightloss and strengthening blood vessels.

What great bonuses for eating a food thattastes so good — even if they're not huckleber­ries.

The blueberries I have carted home fromthe Baker City Farmers Market this summerare produced on The Blue's Berry Farm ownedby Nancy and Dennis Wilson at Poverty Flatsnear Pendleton.

The Wilsons' berries are big, juicy and just

the right balance of tart and sweet. Thesedelicious blueberries make me forget abouthuckleberries — if only for a while.

The thing is, these berries come alreadypicked and delivered just a few blocks from myhome.

Huckleberries, on the other hand, requireat least a full day's investment: a trip to themountains, a treasure hunt for the preciousfruit and then hours spent plunking the pea­sized huckleberries into cans.I've picked blueberries in the past and revel

in delight at the speed a receptacle can befilled, compared with the effort it takes to fill acan with huckleberries.

BERRIES left the farm and havechildren of their own, theWilsons hire kids from townto help pick berries everysummer, Nancy said. Andtheir grandkids, nieces andnephews also help with theharvest.

The Wilsons grow 13 dif­ferent varieties of blueber­ries. Their favorites are Sier­ras, Spartans, Chandlersand Olympias.

There are three mainrequirements for successfulblueberry farming, Nancysays: "They have to haveacid soil, a lot of mulch anda lot of water."

The Wilsons use a drip ir­rigation system to distributewell water to their berries.

Continued ~om Page 1BActually, I've come to ap­

preciate the two berries fortheir own unique character­istics. The blueberry is thedomestic, milder treat thatis easier to acquire for acertain price.

Huckeberries, on theother hand are to be huntedand bagged as any otherwild trophy would be. Andthey are free iexcept for thetime and the cost of gas forthe rig and picnic suppliesneeded to make it through aday in the mountains).

And though I have boughtblueberries at Baker Citygrocery stores, I have theWilsons to thank for mynew appreciation of thefruit.

The couple attribute thetastiness of their productto the cool mountain nightsand warm summer days oftheir mountain home, whichsits at an elevation of 3,200feet.

''We bought plants basedon flavor rather than pro­duction," Nancy says, of thefarm she and her husbandstarted 21 years ago.

"Mountain-grown blue­berries are better than theones grown in the valley,"she says matter-of-factly.

Dennis retired in Junefrom a 33-year career asthe Northwest agronomistfor DuPont AgriculturalChemicals, serving Oregon,Washington and Idaho.

"iThe berries) werestarted as a project for ourkids to earn extra money forcollege, mission trips andweddings," Nancy says.

Then their children'sfriends and other peoplethey knew began helpingwith the harvest.

bringing blueberries to theFarmers Markets for atleast two more weeks, de­pending on how the berriesrespond to the weather.

Dennis says they enjoyselling their goods amongthe friendly vendors in theregion."We just love the people

we work with," he said. "It'sfun to come to the marketto meet the people and theother vendors."

And for me, because mysummer schedule oftenconflicts with a trip to themountains in search of myown berry patch, they'vetaken some of the heartacheout of a summer withouthuckleberries.

Grateful as I was for thesafety support, it was anotherlesson oflife that could waituntil I was older, I thought. Iwas young yet, I told myself. Iwas only 85 going on 58.

Funny how the years passby without notice and thethings we crab about changefor the better or the worse.Fortunately, for me, I canstill walk without aid theseseveral years later eventhough I don't walk quite asfastor quite as far. Insteadofarguing about how life treatsme, I find gratitude that I canwalk at all. I'm grateful that Ican still move about withoutthe aid of a walker 4ut thankheavens for those) or crutcheseven though I have no idea ofhow long it will last.I make the best of a good

thing by trying to stay activeand not sit too long at anyone time. I don't know ifthat is what keeps me goingor not, but it stretches mylegs and gets the kinks outjust to move about in thehouse when I'm not in townwhere I can park my carseveral blocks away and walkto where I need to go, eventhough I notice the demandfor oxygen is increasing.

Breathe deeply. It helpsthe lungs. Keep moving, evenslowly if necessary.

I'm just full of good advicefor everyone but myself. Idon't know what keeps us ingood health. I don't alwaysfollow my own rules. I thinkI'm just lucky to have livedso long and been in suchreasonably good health.

Not my own doing.I was told that we are

placed here on earth for areason and that we will stayuntil we have accomplishedit.

Makes one wonder, doesn'tit?

If it's true, I haven't anyidea what my proposed taskis that remains unfinished,but I'll work at it anyway aslong as it takes.

DEATH PENALTYWoman held in high esteemfears exposing imperfections

brought up.To my children and grandchildren, whom

I dearly love: I'm sure you'll take the time toorder flowers for my funeral. You may eventake the day off to attend, and when you do,you will most likely shed some tears. So whycan't you ftnd the time, while I'm still here, tovisit or call? I'd love to see you, and I'm nevertoo busy to make the time.

DEAR DEAR HURT: I'm printingABBY your letter because I'm sure

this is a problem shared bymany aging parents and

grandparents. However, this is a questionyou should direct to your children andgrandchildren, not me. If you do, you maylearn there may be multiple reasons whythey don't pay more attention to you­among them, the pressures of work, school,child care, or the fact that they are disorga­nized and don't budget their time well.

There is also the question of whether youare an enjoyable person to be around. Doyou show an interest in what they are doing,or make them feel guilty for not doing moreto entertain you? That's a surefire way tokeep them away.

DEARABBY After the long winters inMinnesota, we look forward to summer toopen our windows and enj oy the fresh air.However, we are unable to do that becauseof wind chimes. Apparently, wind chimeowners don't understand (or care) that thenoise carries throughout the whole block,especially on windy nights.

Please, folks. Take down your chimes andhang up something quiet instead.

DEAR MIFFED: If your solution tothis problem is writing to me hoping yourneighbors see your letter, please allow meto offer a better one. Bake a batch of cookiesior another confection), and take it to theseneighbors. When you hand your gift to them,explain that their wind chimes are driv­ing you and some of the other neighbors todistraction. Then ask if they would please bekind enough to take them down and suggestthat perhaps they hang a basket of flowersin their place.

DEAR NOT PERFECT: I don't know

DEARABBY: I met an amazing manand have been dating him for about threemonths. It was almost love atftrst sight. Isay "almost" because I was hesitant to getinvolved since I am his boss.M y problem is, for sixyears I was in an

emotionally and physically abusive relation­ship. My ex threw me through a wall, leavingme with broken ribs and lacerations on myface. I was constantly called"fat" — especially when I waspregnant.

Now that I'm with thisnew guy, I feel awkward. Hetells me how pretty I am, andI don't know how to respond. It makes meuncomfortable when he says it, and I haveno idea why. I have fallen so hard for him,but feel like I hurt his feelings when I don'trespond. It's not that I think I'm ugly oranything; Ijust feel like I am not as pretty ashe constantly says I am.

How can I overcome this so it doesn'tbecome a problem in the future? I'm scaredto death that one day he will wake up andrealize that I'm not as perfect as he thinks I

whether your self-esteem problem is long­standing and deep-seated, or if it stem sfrom the abusive relationship you had withyour ex. But a way to conquer it would be todiscuss your feelings with a licensed mentalhealth professional.

On a related subject, it is common knowl­edge that workplace romances — while notuncommon — can turn into disasters if theydon't work out. They sometimes fail becauseof the imbalance of power in the relation­ship if one person has economic controlof the other. While you're talking to yourtherapist, this is something that should alsobe discussed.

DEARABBY: Social media — specificallyFacebook — has had an impact on families,their values and relationships. It is impor­tant to understand that, contrary to popularbelief parents and grandparents do notlive forever. Being "too busy" for face-to-facevisits, writing a postcard or a letter, or evena simple telephone call, is not how we were

HARTFORD, Conn. — Con­necticut's highest court hasstruck down the state's deathpenalty, sparing the lives of11 killers on death row in aruling that adds momentumto a nationwide movement toabolish executions.A 2012 state law repealed

the death penalty for futurecrimes while preserving itfor those already condemnedto die, but the court ruledThursday that the punish­ment"no longer comportswith contemporary stan­dards of decency" and vio­lates the state's constitution.

The divided, 4-3 rulingcited factors that have comeup in other states to abolishthe death penalty includingracial and economic dis­parities in its use, the costsinvolved with appeals, thecruelty of the wait for execu­tion and the risk of executinginnocent people.

"They went at this frommultiple angles in a way thatis going to provide ammuni­tion for abolitionists acrossthe country," said DavidMcGuire, an attorney withthe American Civil LibertiesUnion of Connecticut.

Opposition to the deathpenalty has been growing inthe United States. Thirty­one states still have capitalpunishment, but severalothers have turned againstit in recent years, includ­ing Nebraska, which votedfor abolition in May, andMaryland, which abolishedit in 2013.

that the number of deathsentences imposed last yearmarked a 40-year low in thecountry.

The ruling comes in an ap­peal from Eduardo Santiago,whose attorneys successfullyargued that any executioncarried out after the 2012repeal would constitute crueland unusual punishment.Santiago, whose first deathsentence was overturned,faced a second penaltyhearing and the possibilityoflethal injection for a 2000murder-for-hire killing inWest Hartford.

But the Connecticut banhad been passed prospective­ly because many lawmak­ers refused to vote for a billthat would spare the deathpenalty for Joshua Komis­arjevsky and Steven Hayes.They had been convicted ofkilling a mother and her twodaughters in a highly publi­cized 2007 home invasion inCheshire.

In his ruling, Palmerwrote that it would not bepermissible to execute otherconvicts "merely to achievethe politically popular end ofkilling two especially notori­ous inmates."
