A relentless barrage of thunderstorms during the weekend brought hail and torrential rain to parts of Baker County as well as hundreds of lightning bolts that ignited more than two dozen wildfires. Most of the new blazes are less than one acre. But a group of fires ignited Friday night or earlySunday in theNorth Fork John Day Wilderness northeast of Granite prompted the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest to close a pair ofhiking trails and part of a forest road. Dubbed the Mount Ireland Complex, the fires are mainly in the Baldy Creek area north of Mount Ireland, which is topped by a Wallowa-Whitman fire lookout station. The biggest of the blazes has burned about 20 acres. Both trails leading to Baldy Lake — one follows Baldy Creek for six miles from a trailhead off the Elkhorn Drive Scenic Byway,the other trailstarts ata ridgecrest about amile west ofthelake — are closed to the public. Alsoclosed isforestroad 7335 along Onion Creek, from its junction with road 7340 east. See Fire 4 IceI Page 2A

Sullivan, an Oregon author best known for his series ofhiking guidebooks, will give a presentation Tuesday at 7 p.m. at Crossroads Carnegie Art Center, 2020 Auburn Ave. Sullivan's talk is titled"Oregon for the Curious," and is a travelogueofodditiesaround the state, including Ritter Hot Springs, the Hat Point lookout,

and the Owyhee River's Chalk Basin. The show includes two very short readings from his new short story collection, 'The Oregon Variations." This book features at least one story connected with each of Oregon's 36 counties. In addition to the hiking guides, Sullivan publishes a

variety ofboth fiction and nonfiction titles. This summer, Sullivan and his wife, Janell, are spending time in Eastern Oregon to update some of the information in anticipationofa third edition ofoneof his guides, "100 Hikes in Eastern Oregon," which includes many trails in the Elkhorn and Wallowa mountains.

Imnaha Road By Katy Nesbrtt VVesCom News Serwce

ENTERPRISE — The Five Mile Fire burning upriver from the town of Imnaha prompted Wallowa County to close the Imnaha Road to the public. The Hat Point Road from Imnaha is also closed. The Wallowa-Whitman National Forest' spublicaffairsoffi ce said structures are potentially at risk, as is an Idaho Power transmission line. Wallowa County Commission Chairman Mike Hayward said he got a call Sunday from Paul Karvoski, the county's emergency services manager. "He said there's a lot of fire trafftc on the road above town, quite a few fisherman and locals trying to move livestock so they thoughtitbestforsafety saketo closeit," Hayward said. According to the Blue Mountain Interagency Dispatch Center, the fire has burned 1,800 acres since it broke out Sunday afternoon. Its cause is unknown. See ImnahaIPage 2A

TURNING BACK THE PAGES 50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald Aug. 4, 1964 The damage to the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest by last Thursday's wind, rain and lightning storm that lasted for about15 minutes has been pegged at more than $30,000. John L. Rogers, forest supervisor, said about 3 million board feet of timber, estimated at $30,000, was blown over. Most of the storm's damage was in Baker County. He said there was severe damage to trails in Eagle Creek and it will take about $2,500 to restore the trails. 25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald Aug. 4, 1989 Trying to get an accurate count of wildlife losses in a particular area is hard enough during the best of times. But, during emergency situations such as the fire on Dooley Mountain, it can be next to impossible. Dick Humphreys, an Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife biologist at the Baker office, said he hasn't actually witnessed any fire-related animal deaths, but he's heard plenty of rumors. "I had one report of a rancher seeing some dead elk in one area," he said giving an example. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald Aug. 3, 2004 NORTH POWDER — The Heffernan family of North powder —Chris and Donna and sons Justin and Sheldon — are just one step away from being named NationalTree Farmers of the Year. Last Saturday, they agreed to show two school buses full of visitors why they are in the running for the award. The Heffernans and their North Slope Natural Resources have won statewide and regional competitions for managing the forestlands on their 1,472-acre ranch outside North Powder, where they also raise dairy quality hay and provide spring pasture for cattle. Now they're set to square off against three competitors for the national title, which will be announced next month. ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald Aug. 12, 2013 Baker County continues to search for ways to recoup some of the money spent by businesses and local government in response to the parasite cryptosporidium reaching the city's municipal water supply. Costs for labor, supplies and other related needs continue to exceed the norm, County Commissioner Mark Bennett said today. Local officials have declared the situation an emergency but the state hasn't yet taken the same action, he said.

Bennett said an inch of rain fell at his home along the west fork of Camp Creek, east of Unity, yet"two miles down the road it was dusty," he said. Heavy rain fell in Unity, causing water to run down city streets, but no serious damage was reported, Bennett sald. On the Vale District of the BLM, lightning started a fire that burned about 70 acres north of Shumway Cutoff Road in southern Baker County, but crews had that blaze under control. "I'm surprised there weren't more, but we were very fortunate," said Larry Moore, a spokesman for the Vale District.

re -ace Editorial from The (Bend) Bulletin:

The U.S. Forest Service expects that it will have to once again raid its budgets for forest thinning and recreation improvements this year to fight wildfires. It happens year aker year aker year. Not enough money is allocated to fight wildfires, so money that might go to projects to reduce wildfire risk and other things gets cut.

This year, there's about$1 billion allocated to fight wildfires. It's not likely to be enough. Last year, the Forest Service took about $500 million from other projects and spent it on wildfires, according to The Associated Press. It's hard to guess or model how bad a wildfire season might be. But a mistake is only magnified when it means money for fire prevention projects is cut. Democratic Oregon Sens. Ron Wyden and JeA' Merkley have backed one solution. Wyden's bill would allow firefighting agencies to turn to money designated for natural disasters when fighting large "megafires" instead of dipping into other forest management money. The assertion is the bill could free hundredsofmillions ofdollars for projectsto reduce wildfire danger. Rep. Greg Walden, R-Hood River, has supported similar legislation. There's a proposal in the Senate from Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona. It goes further. It has an outright ban on firefighting agencies taking money from nonwildfire accounts. It would allow a similar sort of access to disaster funding, but it would require that an amount equal to 50 percent of fire suppression costs be spent on fire prevention. The McCain proposal is not getting a lot of support. It dictates spending, rather than giving Congress discretion and flexibility — among other things. If anything is going to pass, it is more likely to be

Editorial from the Los Angeles Times: At thedawn ofthebroadband era, Congress recognized that the Internet was becoming so fundamental to communications and the economy thatitbarred statesfrom taxing the services thatenabled peopletolog on. But some anti-tax groups and online businesses have hijacked the "Don't tax the Internet" rallying cry for a specious argument: They say companies that sell taxable goods online shouldn't have to col lectsalestaxesfrom out-of-state buyers. The two issues are intersecting in Congress this year, and lawmakers should renew the ban on new and potentially duplicative taxes on the Internet while also helping states enforce the sales tax laws that already apply to online purchases. Local governments have long taxed phone and cable TV services, and as residential Internet accounts proliferated in the 1990s, a number of jurisdictions started to tax those as well. Congressresponded in 1998 by temporarily

banning any additional jurisdictions from taxing Internet access services, on the grounds that such costs would deter Americans from getting connected. The measure also put a temporary halt to "multiple or discriminatory" levies on online retailers. The moratorium was extended in 2004 and 2007, but it's due to expire Nov. 1. With nearly 30 percent of U.S. homes still not connected via broadband, now is not the time to add fees that will push the Internet further out of some families' reach. Lawmakers appear to agree. The House approved a permanent extension of the moratorium on July 15, and there's strong support in the Senate for at least a lengthy renewal. Senate Democratic leaders, however, want to tie the no-new-Internet-taxes bill to a measure that would let states require online retailers in other statesto collectsales taxes for them. This proposal wouldn't impose any new taxes on the Internet shoppers who already owe"use" taxes on purchases from out-of-state retailers. It's just that they typically don't

pay them. Technological advances have made it easy for websites to collect sales tax from any shopper despite the many differences in local rates and rules. As long as lawmakers streamline the submission and auditing of tax payments, it's reasonable to require online retailers to col lectsalestaxesfrom out-of-state buyers. The change would also eliminate an unfair advantage that e-tailers enjoy overtheirbrick-and-mortar competitors. Strongbipartisan support carried an Internet-sales-tax collection bill through the Senate last year, but it has been bottled up in a House committee. Some conservativecriticsderideitasa m oney grab by state and local governments. Yet the real issue is whether people will be able to continue evading the taxes they owe with the help of online retailers. That evasion costs state and localgovernments billions of dollars, which they make up by imposing higher taxes on other things. Congress should close that loophole while continuing the ban on new taxes on the Net. Those policies are complementary, not contradictory.

East-West Shrine All-Star Football Game

• The West team tops the East 15-6 in a game delayed twice by lightning, including one bolt that hit near the football stadium By Eric Avissar WesCom News Sep/)ce

During halftime of the East-West Shrine All-Star football game Saturday at Baker Bulldog Memorial Stadium, players, coaches and officials wondered if the game would even be finished. After a lightning delay that lasted more than 2t/2 hours — one bolt struck near the stadium — and a second lightning delay that lasted more than an hour, the West eventually persevered for a 15-6 victory. cWe were just sitting there, hanging out and waiting for the lightning to pass," Cole Campbell of the East team said.cWe were really hoping they wouldn't call it ofF. We really wanted to play our last game." When the final lightning delay was over with 6 minutes, 55 seconds left in the third quarter, it was Boomer Fleming of Ridgeview in Redmond who took the scorelessgame over with two rushing touchdowns to sealthe West'svictory. Fleming's first touchdown was an 11-yarder in the closingseconds ofthethird quarter that the West followed with an inadvertent two-point conversion after a botched snap on an extra point.

after the East turned the ball over on downs at the West's 25-yard line. Down 15-0 with under two minutes left, the East's Josue Avilez of Central Linn responded with a 60-yard kickofFreturn that he nearly ran back for a touchdown. Bakergraduate Lukas Huggins then made a 36-

yardreceptionto setup a four-yard touchdown pass from Dalton Reimers to Rayce Houser, both of whom recently graduated from Grant Union. The East couldn't follow up with a potentially gametying drive, though. Jason Haueter was the star of the first half for the

East squad. With both teams struggling to formulate an effective passing attack in the first half, the Ontario graduate made two key interceptions for the East. Though he played on the losing side, Huggins said he was happy the game got completed.

cWe ate a little bit in the locker room during the delays," Huggins said.cWe hung out, told stories, and that was all we could do. I'm really glad we were able to finish the game. It was very frustrating having to wait so much." East co-head coach Lee Long of Nyssa credited the West with successfully adjusting their game plan during the lightning delays. "The West figured out some things later in the game that helped them," Long said."They went to a two-back set — beginning of the game they were going with one, which is what we planned for. They got us on our heels a little bit. I take my hat ofFto them, they figured it out and they got the upper hand." After the game, Campbell admitted he didn't expect the game to be finished.

Huckleberry

hype: Now I understand In the past my experience with huckleberries has been finding a few here and there while out hiking, or it's that everybodyhas their secretspotand they have no intentions of ever letting on to where that is. Up until this year I never understood the hype that surrounds them. They're good, but so are otherberriesthataren'tassm alland hard to find.W hen we moved here I started to hear about the huckleberries but there was such an air of secrecy that surrounds the good places to pick that we didn't pursue finding any. From what I have been told by the locals thisyeartheberriesareso abundant that there is less fear of them beingoverpicked.Idecided thatitwas time to figure out if picking huckleberries was something I'd be interested in pursuing with my family. That seems to be my train of thought nowadays — something is only worth doing if the family can do it together. A friend of mine and I loaded up our kids and went up to Mount Emily. Neither of us knew exactly where to go so it added to the adventure. Once we spotted a car alongthe road we drove a littlefurther and lo and behold there were the sweet little berries just waiting to be picked. I was pleasantly surprised with the whole experience.

AND SO IT GROWS

I was very excited to go hunting for huckleberries. As you know I love to cook new recipesand to be abletopick the berriesfrom the forest is really cool. The first year ofliving in Halfway continues to bring joy into my life. Even with all this heat I love living here. I really enjoyed making both of these recipes. They were easy and delicious. The berries freeze wonderfully. I would love to hear how you areenjoying them. Stay cool, my friends.

Summer heat: Tough on the trees "Summertime, and thetivin'is easy." The Gershwin tune from the musical "Porgy and Bess" is pretty, no doubt. But not exactly accurate by my standards this summer. The living hasn't been all that easy with temperatures in the 90s day after day and not dropping below the 50s night after night. While I know not everyone would agree with me, I don't call that easy living — not for people, or animals or even for most plants withouttheproper careiand aircondition-

ing for people and pets). My garden has drooped on more than one occasion this summer, especially before the drip watering system in our expanded garden was properly in place. SeeTrees/Ebge 2B

Aday to remember Today is the fourth day of August. While in itself it may not mean much to anyone else, it holds a memory for me as I look back on my life. This, in 1946, was my sister's wedding day. She was 23 and I was approaching my 20th birthday. SeeDory/Page 2B

A mound of huckleberries is the raw material for great recipes.

• Huckleberries are almostimpossible to domesticate. • Most are picked by hand. • Are native to the northwestern U.S. and Canada. • People have had troubles growing their own huckleberries; they may take 15 years of growth to reach full maturity. • The biggest dangers in picking huckleberries is encountering bears and picking the wrong berry. • Are a super food high in antioxidants. • Huckleberries can be used in packs for relieving running sores, eczema and skin disorders. • A good source of vitamin B, C and potasslum.

out the bathroom window we could watch the cows as they came up close to the house at feeding time. Each had a name and over the few days we learned various personality traits.Itfeels strange to find yourself leaning on the fence talking to cows, but it happened. We even visited the nursery in the barn to visit the newest member of the herd. The foodwas fabulous and we learned another new word — locavore. This was what the people involved in the slow food movement were called. Basically it meant that they tried to find their food source no farther than 100 miles from home. Sometimes they had to go farther, but here at the farm the chickens and eggs came from just down the road and the vegetables and herbs came from the garden right next to the house. The water buffalo milk went to a local dairy to be made into cheese.

2B — THE OBSERVER a BAKER CITY HERALD

DORY Continued ~om Page 1B It wasn't a remarkable wedding in anyone else's book, but I see our family living at 304Alder St. It no longer exists except in memory, so maybe it bears telling. The street now is called Sunset Drive, paved and lined with homes all along both sides and looking nothing like it did back in 1946, even to its numbering system. You see, at that time, you would travel up C Avenue just as you do now except that you couldn't drive on up the hill to Walnut Street because that avenue ended at Alder Street and you could only turn right to continue on. Even to the left that is now known as Oak Street wasn't pushed through yet. Now in position, we turn right onto Alder Street (Sunset Drivel by the invisible mailbox that was ours, a graveled road with open acreageon both sidesofthe street, particularly on the left. It was the pastured hillside that belonged to our family. It was fenced to keep in our horse and our cow, Nancy, that gave so much rich milk and cream. I'm not sure just how far we had to walk along that road to reach our house, but as a youngster I would have guessed about a quarter of a mile, maybe less. Our house was on the left side of the road but set

back to allow for a circular driveway in front of the two-story yellow house with white trim. My mother had planted flowers all along the circle's edge andmy dad had planted his favorite willow tree within the grassy circle. There was a white picket fencealong the road section of land that we called our yard, open in two places, one by arose-covered trellisat the center and the other a wide gate tothe far rightto allow vehicles admission. In between the two gates stood a crabapple tree whose fruit made the best of jellies. The chicken house was off to the right of the ingress road with a wire fence, chicken wire they called it, to keep the fowl from running loose. Beside the house, to the otherside,was a talltree with a very large trunk, making me think it may have been an oak or something on that order. The back porch of the house was on that side, too. Behind the house was a variety of outbuildings — barn, woodshed, pig barn, etc. See, that's how memory takes over when I simply wanted to say that my sister Betty and her intended, Maurice, had their lawn wedding there on this particular date.Itwas a splendid affair to us, nothing like you would use that word for these days, but my mom's flowers were in bloom and thetablesforrefreshments and gift swere there,covered

with freshly ironed linen tablecloths, wedding napkins, silverware, and paper plates to hold the wedding cake when it was cut. The Eagles Lodge, I suppose it was, had loaned the family folding chairs for those attending the wedding, and it was a fine weather day that August afternoon. Inside the house, my sister was outfitted in her white wedding dress and veil, and I in the maroon-colored satin gown she had purchased for meas herbridesmaid. We had the usual jitters and we certainly didn't know the protocol ofa wedding procession. For some reason when they lined us up, my sister went first and I followed. I don't know if anyone talked aboutthat tacticalerror,but w e repeated ityearslater when I served as bridesmaid for a cousin. Anyway, here is even a funnier part: My sister walked out the door and attempted to go down the frontsteps. As she stepped forward, so did I; however, I didn't realize that as I did so I was stepping on the hem of her gown, arresting the processional. She would back up and so would I, then we would step forward again, repeating the same error. Finally, she turned her head and growled, 'You're stepping on my dress." Once alerted, Icorrected my error and the ceremony was able to proceed down the stepsto stand beside her

groom and the minister. My dad was there, too, and gave my sister in marriage. Everything went according to plan from there on, even the reception with the cutting and serving of the cake and the opening of the gifts. There was always a four o'clock breeze that came up around the house every day and we hadn't counted on that, so when it arrived, the napkins went flying across the yard and the table linens flapped as though to take ofE too. Fortunately, the guests took it all in stride and they were able to stay until the wedding couple had driven away and then they, too, left us to finish cleaning up the mess with the help of faithful relatives. You see, this wasn't anything unusual or especially exciting, but simply one of my warm memories of that place called 304 Alder St. that is no longer there or discernible. Even the willow tree is gone now. In spiteofthe errors that come along with most weddings, the future was beckoning me. It was only a month later that I met my George so that we could fall in love and be married on Dec. 21 of thatsame year,1946. W e chose tobe marri ed in the old wooden First Christian Church that isn't there, either, and it had its foibles, too. But that's another story.

BERRIES

Continued from Page 1B Now let's pop into summer 2014. A couple of weeks ago we went to Wallowa Lake and as we passed through Lostine I noticed that the Lostine Tavern, which had been closed for some time, was again open and the thingI noticed mostwas thatit had super clean windows. And then there was that the sign out front advertising that itwas a farm-to-table restaurant.Thesefolkswerelocavores! We couldn't resist, so on the way home we stopped in to see what was cookin. Wow! What a change! The threeowners — Lynn, Lisa,and Pete — have performed miracles with a combination oflove, lots of work and many enthusiastic supporters. From the beautiful old stone wall behind the bar constructed of salvaged wood from the Eastern Oregon Lumber Mill to the beautiful ceiling and gleaming open kitchen they have turned a very tired over 70-year-old building into a vibrant inviting place to enjoy a delicious meal. Their menu varies according to what is available but they always have something that should appeal to everyone while also offering something that is creative and new to try. They still offer taco night on Wednesday and burgers, both with just a bit of a twist, but my"something new favorite" so far is the open faced roasted beet sandwich with ricotta and nettle-green garlic pestoon Grand Centralbread. It is worth a drive to Lostine to enjoy a meal at this new "old restaurant." Meals are served 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday with dinner specials from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. You are in for a treatand probably willhavetraveled farther than your dinner to get there! Enjoy!

Continued from Rge 1B Our kids ran around to their hearts' content and occasionally helped fill our buckets. I was able to sit my 1-year-old down on the ground next to me as I picked. He was delighted that he could reach the berries. His face and hands were smeared with purple juice and he was covered in dirt, but he was happy. I finally had to pull him away because I was worried he'd get a bellyache. It was a perfect morning activity to get the kids out into the mountains and then come home to enjoy the literal

fruits of our labors. I picked only about three cups of berriesbut itwasmo re than I had ever picked before. When I hear people talk about huckleberries they often reference their family picking together. Picking huckleberries is an opportunity for memories to be made in the mountains.

TREES Continued ~om Page 1B The recent rains have been welcome, but still insufficient to green up the lawn and sustain the gardenatthepace itis growing. Of special concern for me is the flame maple tree we plan to enjoy for years to come and which is home to anest ofrobinswe've enjoyed watching Mamma Robinfeed and tend fora few weeks this summer. Not providing enough water for your tree can cause stress that leaves it more susceptible to insect infestation and disease, the Oregon Department of Forestry warns. And watering your tree only when you water the lawn around it just simply isn't enough to ensure the tree a long and healthy life. It's not difficult to detect whether you are shorting your tree on water, according to ODF. The agency offersthese tipsfor assessing whether your trees are drought-stressed: • Leaves will begin to look dull, and sometimes, limp. More advanced symptoms are browning of leaves, wilting and curling at the edges. • Leaves might develop a scorched or burned look, turning yellow or brown on outside edges or between leaf veins. Leaves may even appear smaller than usual, drop prematurely, or turn brown, but remain on the tree. • When evergreen trees are stressed they can turn yellow, red, purple or brown. To properly water your trees, the soil should be saturated within the drip line, ODF advises. The drip line is the area outside the tree's root zone where rain water runs off it. That's where water is best absorbed— atthe drip line and beyond — rather than close to the trunk. To encourage the growth of deep roots that will require less frequent watering, trees should be watered deeply on a less frequent basis rather than daily shallow watering, according to the experts.

soaker hose can be used to water deeply and slowly to make sure the water doesn't simply run off the surfacebefore penetrating through to the tree's roots. Moving the hose regularly around the tree during the watering cycle also will help ensure that it is getting enough water. Here's a slow-watering technique offered by ODF that I'd like to try with my tree: Put a nail hole in the bottom(nearthe edge)of a five-gallon bucket. Fill the bucket with water and placeitunder the tree's canopy. Refill the leaky bucket two or three times, moving it at each refill as you continue to water. You should also consider watering during the cooler hours of the day, if possible, which makes your irrigating efforts more efficient. And using mulch around the tree will help retain moisture and keep weeds down. ODF recommends a mulch of bark, wood chips, leaves or evergreen needles. The mulch should be placed within the drip line at a depth of 4 inches, leaving a 6-inch space between the mulch and the tree trunk. And while it's hard to resist the urge to create the pleasurable sight, planting flowers or groundcover under your tree's canopy is discouraged. Other plants will only compete with your tree for moisture and nutrients. As our treeentersits third year in our backyard and we watch the baby robins prepare to try their wings, we work diligently to ensure that we're giving it enough water. And though I started writing with a complaint about the not-so-easy-living of summertime in Baker City, I don't want to rush the season. I'll savor the summer days (with the benefit of airconditioning), reaping the rewardsofa well-cared-for tree: a shady yard, a home fora bird'snestand asits name implies, green leaves that will transform to the color of a bright red flame as the heat of summer gives way to the cooler nights of

today -- or tomorrow, either. Still, you can surely maintain a healthy dynamic. ARIES (March 21-Aprll 19) — Youi ay be puzzledby the way the day progresses,but don't let yourselfbe distracted by the unusual! Focus on assigned tasks. TAURUS (Aprll 20-May 20) —You can give another the help he or she needs without hindering your own progress in anyway. Is a partnership in the making? GEMINI (May 21-Juae 20) -- You can accomplish more during morning hours than you can in the af'ternoon, so you'll want to "front load" your day accordingly. CANCER (Juae 21-July22)- - Others i ay be entirely unaware of what you are trying to accomplish. It's up to you whether you want to share your intentions or not.

Fear of the future paralyzes woman who wants children

DEAR ABBY: I am a happily married, walking. When I arrive home, I'll frnd his son 26-year-old female withjust one problem: watching TV and Mack doing something else. I'm afraid to have children. I keep telling him I need respect. What Ihave always wanted children, andit's would you do i fyou were in my shoes? Temperatures are in the mid-90s here in the something myhusband and I often discuss. Anytime we are asked when we plan to start summer, and it can get to you when you're our family, we always say four to frve years, but walking. — UPSET MAMA we have been saying thissame thing forfour IN TEXAS years. Ialwaysthought I' d beready by now. My husband has been very DEAR UPSET: If you haven't ASKED Mack to sick for the past few years DEA R pick you up when he leaves and had to take time off work. We were able to scrape ABB Y work so you're not stuck in the blazing heat — with your by on my salary, but it was child, yet — you should. That tough. He returned to work recently and is frne. But now all I can think he wouldn't think of it himself shows not only a lack of consideration for your feelings aboutishow much children cost,and I'm afraidwe'llneverhaveenough money to but also for your little girl's welfare. have a baby. Because his behavior has changed since I also worry about what if our child you started living with him, consider this change to be a red flag. If things don't imwould be killed in an accident, molested or kidnapped. I ask myself why anyone would prove,startlooking for other living arrangementsforyou and your daughter because want to bring children into such a scary world, yet I still want them. Please help me. I it appears you and Mack do better when am very upset and don't know what to do. you're not cohabiting.

term elections that will decidecontroloftheSenate are three months away, and the 2016 presi dentialcampaign will startin earnestsoon after. Yet the Republican Party still can't figure out what to do about illegal immigration. It's the issue that vexed Republicans as much as any in their 2012 presidential loss. It's the one problem the partydeclared itm ustresolve to win future presidential races. And itstillm anaged to bedevil theparty again last week, when House Republicans splintered and stumbled for a day before passing a face-saving bill late Friday. The fiasco proved anew that a small number of uncompromisingconservatives havethepower to hamper the efforts of GOP leaders to craft coherent positions on key issues — including one that nearly two-thirds ofAmericans say is an important to them personally, according to an Associated Press-GK poll released last week. "Itwould beverybad for Republicans in the House not to offer their vision ofhow they would fix the problem," South Carolina GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham said when the initial House bill onimmigration collapsed. While Republicans in the House areabletorejectthe proposals ofDemocrats,Graham said, that's not enough: "At least they have a vision." While often a flashpoint issue among Republicans in their primaries this year, thepartycould geta grace

DEAR ABBY: My friend "Merle's"daughter got engaged, and Merle threw an engagement party for her and the husband-to-be. The couple announced where they were registered in the Facebook invitation (which I thought was truly insensitive). People arrived for the engagement party with gifts. I did not take one. I frgured I'd wait until the wedding which is ayear away. I also thought, 'What if they change their minds and don't get married?" WasIwrongnot totakeagift? IguessI j ust don't understand the current etiquette.

— STUMPED IN SOUTH CAROLINA DEAR STUMPED: You accepted the invitation, didn't you? Because you did, you should have given the couple a gift. You did not have to take one to the party, but you should send something within a short time. iSuggestion: A nice picture frame to hold their engagement photo.)

New York, head of the Democrats' efforts to win House elections."But swing voters and persuadable voters,they want solutions." Hispanics made up less than 3percent ofallregisteredvotersin 2012 in seven other states with competitive Senate races: Louisiana, Arkansas, North Carolina, Iowa, Michigan, Georgia and Kentucky. So any Democratic benefits from an Obama executive action on immigration could be just as limited. Still, a few Democratic senators in those tight contests — including Kay Hagan of North Carolina and Mark Pryor of Arkansasare putting some distance between themselves and the president. The White House, Pryor said, is "sending mixed messages: telling folks not to cross the border illegally and then turning around to hand out work permits to people who are already here

periodofsortsin November. Immigration appears likely to have only a modest impact on the roughly 10 Senate races that will determine control of the chamber. The possible exception is the race between Democratic Sen. Mark Udall and GOP Rep. Cory Gardner in Colorado, where Hispanic votersmade up 14 percent of theelectorate in 2012. Even if President Barack Obama moves ahead with a proposal to give work pennits to millions ofimmigrants living in the countryillegally, removing thethreatofdeportation, Democratic strategistssay Republicans won'treap much of a benefit. Republicans, they argue, have already squeezed as much as they can from votersangry atthe president byhammering at his record on health care, the IRS, foreign policy and other issues.

— UNCERTAIN IN TULSA DEAR UNCERTAIN: I understand your concerns and they are valid. Having children is an act of faith as well as an investment in the future. If you think about it, life itself is a gamble. Mature individuals do everything they can to keep the odds in their favor. They work hard, live healthy lives, buy insurance, start an education fund for their children, etc. There are no guarantees — but people keep having children anyway. Because you feel stuck in making this decision, it would be helpful to discuss your concerns with a licensed mental health professional who can help you put your fears to rest.
