Before you make the left turn from Baker City on Highway 7 toward Stices Gulch, you see it. Waves of black splashed across the hillside that, with the absence of smoke, look more like strange patterns in a haphazard art project than a natural disaster. But the smoldering tree stumps and hot spots littered about the side of Highway 245 toward the Gulch give way to the severity of the situation. The narrow gully is in a ponderosapine forestjust west of the Dooley Mountain Highway about 12 miles south of Baker City. On Tuesday afternoon, residentsinthe area received a Level 1, or "get ready", evacuation notice. They were the first neighborhood in Baker County to receive such notice in response to the Cornet-Windy Ridge Complex Fire. By Wednesday, Stices Gulch was at Level 3, or "leave now" evacuation notice. By Sunday, three Stices Gulch homes and fourWindy Ridge homes had been lost to the fire, at least one of the Stices Gulch homes was not a primary residence.

A bomb squad responded to defuse dynamite found by one of the homeowners' children. The small crater was left by the explosives and shrapnel was blown 100 feet, some landing in nearby trees. Most property owners in Stices Gulch lost their outbuildings, including barns and sheds. As of this morning, the currentsize ofthe blazeis 96,762 acres, with 30-percent containment, according to fire officials. Cassandra Ulven, public

information officer and one of two fire chiefs on the State fire team escorting media to view the Stices Gulch damage on Sunday morning, says if it hadn't been for the immediate action taken at Level 1 warning, many of the remaining 14 homes in Stices Gulch would not be

standing today. ''When this first started, it was the local firefighters, the volunteers at Greater Bowen Valley that were out there doing everything that they couldtoprepare structures and figure out what could be saved," Ulven said."And as the fire got closer, they were

out there on the front lines tryingtoprotectstructures." Residents, too, deserve credit for their efforts in maintaining their lawns and trees, limiting any fuel the fire would have been eager to gobble up, Ulven said. See Stices/Page 8A

Fire Chief Jim Devlin's property was one of many where the houses were saved but other structures and vehicles were lost to the fire. Devlin lost his shop and numerous tractors and trucks. Many property owners took preventative measures before evacuating, which officials say saved their homes.

At Saturday night's public meeting about the Windy Ridge and Cornet fires, a fire official said firefighters made good progress battling the two blazes that have grown together in the last 25 hours. The meeting began at 6 p.m. at the Nazarene Church, which was filled almost to capacity.

Operations Section Chief Todd Abell for the Southwest Interagency Incident Management Team said today was "a very good day." He explained lower temperatures and other favorable weather conditions helped fire crews make good progress fighting the estimated 30,000-acre wildfire south of Baker City. He said good progress has been achieved on the southwest and

west sides of the fire. Abell said the fire jumped the freeway Sunday, but was contained. "We were able to get ihelicopters) into the air and immediately pick up that slop that went over thehighway," he said. Some of thelocalfolks were able to get on a dozer and start punching some line around that." Abellsaid parts of the south

end of the fire have areas that are "black and cold." After the meeting, he said favorableweather conditions should allow fire crews to improve the current 10 percent containment of the fire. iAccording to current information from the Oregon Department of Forestry, the fire is 30 percent contained today.)

50 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald August 17, 1965 The Powder River Sportsmen's Club last night decided to affiliate with the National Rifle Association. The affiliation had been recommended by the club's board of directors. The initiation fee is $10 and annual dues are also $10. Also last night, the club turned down a proposal by the newspaper committee of the Oregon Wildlife Federation to support the publication of a newspaper by OWF. 25 YEARS AGO from the Democrat-Herald August 17, 1990 Progress is being made toward fixing a troublesome section of Baker City's industrial zoning ordinance. Controversy has raged for the past18 months that provisions of the ordinance are too restrictive, too hard to apply, or allow too much staff discretion. 10 YEARS AGO from the Baker City Herald August 17, 2005 Two years after waves of water from a breached irrigation ditch slapped muddy handprints across a Baker City neighborhood, both city officials and residents wait while a pair of civil lawsuits against the ditch owners meander through the court system. On Aug. 16, 2003, a 75-foot-long section of the Smith Ditch collapsed on the steep north slope Spring Garden Hill, on the east side of Baker City. ONE YEAR AGO from the Baker City Herald August 18, 2014 The Baker City Council last week stepped into the debate regarding a long-range forest management plan that has already come under fire from elected county leaders across Eastern Oregon. Baker County already officially issued its rejection of a draft proposal of the plan last week and on Friday, City Manager Mike Kee delivered a letter of support for the county's stance to the U.S. Forest Service office in town. Friday was the deadline for comments and official objections to the plan. "It was a one-page letter that talks about the economics, the watershed, we more or less support the document the county put together," Kee said.

BaKerConntyrangelandandforestpropertydamaged

By Joshua Dillen ldillen©bakercityherald.com

The smell of smoke, a pinkish orange hue to the sunlight and ash filled air have been the norm in Baker County for the last week. There are nearly 120,000 acres of rangeland and forest burning in Baker County from the Cornet/Windy Ridge (south of Baker City), Eagle Complex (east of Medical Springs) and Eldorado (south of Unity) fires. Almost a thousand (local and from across the country) firefighters are battling the three blazes. A total of seven houses have been lost as a resultoftheblazes according to Cassandra Ulven, public information officer for the state structureprotection team thatarrived in town last week. At a community fire meeting Saturday, Wallowa-Whitman National Forest Supervisor Tom Montoya said the country is under the highest fire alert level possible. He said resources ata national levelare stretched thin. r We currently have 42 incident management teams out. There are zero teams available nationally," Montoya said."There are 125 outstandingresource ordersforcrews (regionally). There's just nothing available." He said it is impacting the ability to control fires. Montoya said that the Cornet and Windy Ridge (now combined) fires are listed as number one and two priorities in the nation. "That means when resources become available, we get those resources," he said.'That's a good thing." Sunday night, an update from the Oregon Department of Forestry indicated that more hand crews are "trickling" in to the Eldorado Fire. Cooler weather has helped firefighters

Current Fire Infomation

gain some control of fires in most cases. Anotherday oflower temperatures isexpected allowing for favorable conditions for firefighters. In spite of that, Sunday afternoon's wind stoked the Eldorado Fire on the west and south sides. Weather reports from the Boise Weather Center predict a dry cold front coming through the area early Monday with 10 to 15-mph winds. Fire incident meteorologists are calling for more difficult weather toward the end of the week, according to the update. "The weather and the number oflarge fires burning in the Pacific Northwest have made this fire difficult,n said Eldorado Fire Incident Commander Link Smith."However, we've put a plan together that we feel will help us meet our objectives, which is to minimize acres burned while keeping safety for the public and firefighters a top priority." The drycold thatisexpected to arrive late today might bring increasing winds and some lower humidity, said Bureau of Land Management spokesperson Larry Moore. "That's a concern," he said.r We hope that it will pass through without incident. But we always plan for the worst." Moore said that firefighters will accomplish as much as they can today to prepare forthe possibleweather change before the front rolls in. Sunday, aerial resources were used to assist in controlling the Cornet/Windy Ridge Fire. Crews continue to build containment lines around the perimeter of the fire and are also patrolling and mopping around structures and the edge of the fire line. Cornet/Windy Ridge Fire Operations Section Chief Todd Abell said there has been good progress made over the weekend on the fire.

GUEST EDITORIAL

n Editorial from Albany Democrat-Herald:

Oregon's new law requiring background checks for private gun transactions took effect last week, so you probably feel a lot safer today. No? That's understandable: Even as legislators debated the controversial measure during this year's session, it never was clear whether it would have much of an effect in the real world. And it's still not clear — especially with speculation that the measure, Senate Bill 941, will be widely ignored. Under the terms of the bill, sales and other firearms transfers between private parties will require a 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 socalleduniversalbackground checks for both handguns and long guns. But how this will play out here remains shrouded in uncertainty: For starters, no one knows for sure how many of these private transactions occur each year in Oregon. The Oregon State Police, which alreadyhandles the background checks required by the federal government, has added three temporary workers to be sure that it can absorb any additional demand from the new state law. But because no one knows how many private transactions take place in the 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 required to conduct background checks through the Oregon State Police, it's not clear how many of them will perform the checks. Already, some stores have signaled that they likely will restrict their background checks to their customers who purchase guns, preferring not to get involved in the checks for a private transfer. Add to that the fact that many county sherifs and commissioners have made it clear that they have little interest in enforcing the law (or the necessary resources to do so), and the stage is set for Senate Bill 941 to take its place on that long, long list of well-meaning bills that never made much diference. And that gets back to our fundamental issue with the bill: Even though its supporters said it would help to keep guns out of the hands of people who shouldn't have them, it seems extremely unlikely to do that. Someone who's determined to get his hands on a gun still will be able to do so, and likely won't be hinderedatallby the background check requirement. In fact, the people who will be most hindered by the requirements of Senate Bill 941 will be lawabiding gun owners who now must endure the extra hassle and cost every time they want to sell or swap a firearm with a friend or neighbor. (At least the bill was amended to exempt sales or transfers between

family members.) But even with that amendment, Senate Bill 941 represents the worst kind oflegislation: It allows legislators who support gun control the chance to tell their backers that they took a stand against gun violence, while the bill does no such thing. And the bill constrains our freedoms for an uncertain payoff — a payoA'that we won't ever be able to measure with any certainty.

After Mitt Romney lost the 2012 presidential election, Republican Party Chairman Reince Priebus commissioned an autopsy to determine what had gone wrong. High on the list: a yawning gender gap. Romney won the votes of most men but lost among female voters by 11 percentage points; among single women, the margin was a daunting 36 points. "Our candidates ... need to use language thataddressesconcerns thatare on women's minds in order to let them know we are fighting for them," the Republican National Committee recommended. So Priebus must not be terribly happy that the party's ltemporaryl front-runner, Donald Trump, said Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly had"blood coming out ofher wherever" when she asked him tough questions in last week's debate. Trump's boorishness, however, isn't the GOPs biggest obstacle on the way to gender parity. A good chunk of the debate earlier this month focused on abortion. In an attempttoappealto socialconservatives, several candidates steered right into what most voters will see as &inge territory. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio said he thinks abortion should be illegal even w hen a pregnancyresultsfiom rapeor incest, although he said he would support legislation including those exceptions if that was the only way to reduce abortions. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker reaffirmed his view that abortion should be illegal with no exceptions, not even to save a mother's life."There are many otheralternatives thatcan also protect the life of that mother," he said. And former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabeesaid hefavored legislation to confer constitutional rights on the un-

GUEST EDITORIAL Editorial from the Los Angeles Times: Hillary Rodham Clinton's decision to use aprivateemail serverto transact offic ialbusiness assecretary ofstate was a serious mistake even if it didn't violate the law and even if the vast majority of her official communications were preserved on the government accounts of the people she was communicating with. Using a private account was bad policy and, with the server back in the headlines this week, it is proving to be bad politics as well. Clinton has compounded her original error with an overly controlling response to inquiries about what was contained in those messages. Her presidential campaign is paying a predictable price in public confidence for that strategy. On Tuesday, Clinton's campaign saidshehad agreed toturn the server over to the Justice Department, along

with a thumb drive containing copiesofthousands ofmessages already provided to the State Department. The announcement came after investigators concluded some messages should have been marked and handled as classified. The server should have been turned over long ago. That said, it'snotclearthatadditional emails might be retrieved. When Clinton turned over more than 30,000 emails to the department in December, she said that she had deleted an equal number that were personal, including messages about the planning ofher daughter's wedding and her mother's funeral. The problem was that it was Clinton who decided which emails would be preserved and handed over, an arrangement that Republicans land otherslwere bound to see as suspicious. Equally unsurprising, Republicans are rushing to judgment about the latest developments in the controversy.

House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, asserted that"Secretary Clinton's previous statements that she possessed no classified information were patently untrue," and he demanded an investigation ofher"mishandling of classified information." In fact, it hasn't been established that Clinton sent or received emails containing information that was marked classified or top secret. As the Clinton campaign pointed out Wednesday, when previously unclassified information is reviewed for public release, it is sometimes classified retroactively. Unfortunately, such nuances are likely to be lost in the heat of a presidential campaign. That is something a public figure as experienced as Clinton should have recognized long ago. The wounds she has receivedin thiscontroversy probably won't be fatal to her candidacy, but they are serious — and largely self-inflicted.

Broncosslinnast eahawks By Tim Booth AP Sports Wrtter

ByWes Crosby

SEATTLE — Brock Osweiler was composed and efficient, leading the Denver Broncos to scores on all five first-half possessions. An impressive effort,even if it came against a makeshift Seattledefense. Osweiler was 15 of20 for 151 yards and a touchdown playing the first half in the Broncos' 22-20 win over the Seahawks to open the preseason on Friday. Starting in place of Peyton Manning, who went through pregame warmups but wasjust a spectator, Osweiler finished with a 112.7 rating. He capped his night with a 17-yard touchdown pass to tight end Virgil Green late in the firsthalffora 19-10 lead. Denver's ofFense finished with 240 yards in the half, although much of that came with most of Seattle's starting defense standing on the sideline. "Things felt very smooth out there tonight. So from a personalstandpoint it probablyismy best performance to date, but I can't say that without those 10 other guys I was out there with tonight," Osweiler said. While Osweiler picked apartSeattle'sdefense, Russell Wilson was left to

Seattle quarterback RussellWilson hands off to running back RobertTurbin in the Seahawks' exhibition opener against Denver Friday. scramble for safety during his two series in the first quarter. Wilson was sacked by Von Miller and fumbled on Seattle's second offensive play. He was sacked on third-and-goal from the Denver 8 and completed only one pass — a 12-yard connection with new tight end Jimmy Graham that elicited one of the biggest cheers of the night.

The biggest highlight forSeattlewas the electric debut of rookie Tyler

Lockett. Drafted primarily forhisability as a returner, Lockett took a kickofF back 103 yards for a touchdown in the second quarter after having a 46-yard return in the first quarter. But there were more concerns for Seattle than highlights after seeing two important players taken to the locker room with injuries.

And backup quarterback Tarvaris Jackson, Seattle's security should anything happen to Wilson, was taken to the locker room on a cart in the third quarter after his right ankle was rolled.

BRIEFING

jasonDaywinsP A hamyionshiy By Doug Ferguson AP Golf Writer

SHEBOYGAN, Wis.— Given a third straight chance to finally win a major, Jason Day promised a fight to the finish in the PGA Championship. Turns out the biggest fight was to hold back the tears. Worried that this year might turn out to be a major failure, Day never gave Jordan Spieth or anyone else a chance Sunday. He delivered a record-setting performance at Whistling Straits that brought him a major championship he started to wonder might never happen. Day was in tears before he even tappedinforpar and a 5-under 67 for a three-shot victory. He sobbed on the shoulder of Colin Swatton, his caddie

and longtime coach who rescued Day as a 12-yearold struggling to overcome the death ofhis father. And then came high praise from Spieth in the scoring trailer when golf's new No. 1 player told him,"There's nothing I could do." "I didn't expect I was going to cry," Day said."A lot of emotion has come out because I've been so close so many times and fallen short. To be able to play the way I did today, especially with Jordan in my group, I could tell that he was the favorite. Just to be able to finish the way I did was amazing." Three shots ahead with three holes to play on a course with trouble everywhere, Day blasted a drive down the fairway on the par-5 16th and hit a

towering 4-iron into 20 feet. He bit his lower lip, swatted his caddie on the arm, knowing his work was almost done. The two-putt birdie put him at 20-under par, and two closing parsgave him the record to par in majors, breaking by one shot the 19 under of Tiger Woods at St. Andrews in the 2000 British Open. Day fini shed at20-under 268,notknowing until it was over that it was a record. What really mattered was that shiny Wanamaker Trophy at his side. He shared the 54-hole lead at the U.S. Open and the British Open and had to watchsomeone elsecelebrate. "Not being able to finish, it would have been tough for me mentally to really kind of come back from that," Day sald.

Te ow runs for TD in win By Rob Maddi AP Pro FootballWriter

PHILADELPHIA — Tim Tebow got a warm Philly welcome. Tebow threw for 69 yards and ran for a touchdown in his first game in two years, Kenjon Barner returned a punt 92 yards for a touchdown and ran for a score and the Philadelphia Eagles beat the Indianapolis Colts 36-10 Sunday. Tebow got a standing ovation when he entered midway through the third quarter and the crowd roared so loud when his name was introduced he had to quiet them down because he was taking the snap in a shotgun. He dove into the pylon on a 7-yard TD run late in the fourth quarter and finished with 15 yards rushing on fourcarries.Hecompleted 6 of 12 passes and was sacked twice.

STICES Continued ~om Page1A Square portable tanks filled with 1,500 gallons of water were set up outside each Stices Gulch residence.

The landscape of Stices Gulch, where homes live off a rocky dirt road in a dip between several small hills, made combating the blaze particularly diKcult. High winds on Thursday and Friday fanned the flames, causing the fire to shift and spread suddenly and posed as a challenge for fire crews. "On Friday, we had a hot shot crew that got stuck after the fire blew in around them and they were stuck there all day," Stafford said."The fire keptburning around them so they were just stuck there. It hadn't burned hard, so it came back on'em." Thisfi re and wind behaviorcontinued tofeeditselfon Thursday and Friday, when Stafford says flames moved about one mile per hour.

ChicKen Slidersa Salad DORY'S DIARY DQRQTHYSWART FLESHMAN

Taking my legs for granted I would be young if it weren't for my

legs. Back in 2011 after a seriesof mishaps I was having an argument with myself about when and how I got around. On days when the pain was bearable, I scampered about as usual, fleeting here and yonder. On the days when moving about was won by the nearest chairs between necessary movements, my mind took wing to better days. In"those days," my legs had taken me up the hill to the clay outcropping on the hill where the Indians had gathered clay to make pots, to the waterpumphouse even higher up,to Morgan Lake, to the Wallowas and the Anthonys to Strawberry Mountain, to base camp on Mount Shasta, hundreds of 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, to climb the hills for the pure joy ofbeing outside in the fresh air or to pick huckleberries, search for mushrooms, or crouch down to pick strawberries. Hoeing the garden or picking the produce didn't seem like work then. Climbing stepswas a breeze.Itw as simply part of the day's activity. We didn't have the use of cars like they do now. A few of us had bicycles, which was also good for exercise, but most of us just used our "Shanks's Pony" or "Shanks Mare" on which to travel. Have youheard ofthatterm "Shanks's Pony"? It simply means using your own legs on which to get around — thighbone, legbone,and footbone,allconnected in action. When I was very young my dad made a stick pony for me and I galloped around using my own legs for the pony legs and the cleverly fashioned head of the pony of wood and stringfora m ane connected to a rope for reins. That kept my heart beating and no one could have told me that I didn't really have a horse on which to ride. It was later years thata realhorse took me where I wanted to go. Itook my legs for granted,Iguess, and eventually I was pulling against the demands of age when joints, muscles, and accidents seemed to rule. In other words, I began to resent the restrictions to my body that my mind found intolerable. Being guided over icy walks by helpful hands on one or both sides seemed embarrassing when I felt I should be skating along on my own power at ease.

Chicken sliders with coleslaw.

By Karen Kain ForWesCom News Service

I am happy to share this slider recipe with you for a few reasons. One being it is right up my alley and full of spicy flavor. Secondly, it iseasy to make and perfectforthoselastminute get-togethers. Ihave never ordered a sliderin a restaurant, but when I saw this recipe with one of the main ingredients being hot wing sauce I had to try it. I know that some of you will not appreciate this dish but if you like hot wings, sliders and quick meals this one is for you. You can add as much or as little of the hot wing sauce for your heat preference. I am also sharing with you a new trendy dish that I have seen assembled in a few different ways, Watermelon Salad with Mint and Feta. This is a bit of a stretch for some palates but I love watermelon and cheese and really appreciate olives snuck into most recipes. It is fresh and unique and I think that a few ofyou will tryitjustbecauseitis different. I hope that you are enjoying this beautiful weather, I am grateful for the abundance of fruit and recipe shares from you all. Cheers!

Mountain-grown blueberries have me changing my tune I haven't always been a big fan ofblueberries. In the past they've always seemed to disappoint me and fall short of my expectations. I unfairly compared them with my favorite purple fruit: huckleberries. I've mixed blueberries with rhubarb to produce"bluebarb" baked goods. The two lavorscombined arealmost asgood asthatof f a huckleberry — almost. But the past few summers, blueberries have taken on a new attraction for me. Maybe it's the hype from health advocates, the Oregon Blueberry Commission or the enjoyment of picking up a freshly picked box from the Baker City Farmers Market that's changed my mind. Back in June, a"media resource tool kit"

AND SO IT GROWS CHRIS CQLLINS from the blueberry commission arrived in the mail. It included a CD filled with blueberry facts. Itwas alreadyAugust before Iinspected the CD and played it in my desktop computer at the newspaper oSce. Too late I learned that July was National Blueberry Month. But not too late to pass on the blueberry commission's proclamation that Oregon blueberry growers are expecting a record harvest

of more than 100 million pounds ofblueberries this year. Or the news of the many health benefits that come with consuming blueberries, which range from helping to prevent age-related diseases, such as Alzheimer's and the eye disease macular degeneration, to promoting weight loss and strengthening blood vessels. What great bonuses for eating a food that tastes so good — even if they're not huckleberries. The blueberries I have carted home from the Baker City Farmers Market this summer are produced on The Blue's Berry Farm owned by Nancy and Dennis Wilson at Poverty Flats near Pendleton. The Wilsons' berries are big, juicy and just

the right balance of tart and sweet. These delici ous blueberriesmake me forgetabout huckleberries — if only for a while. The thing is, these berries come already picked and delivered just a few blocks from my home. Huckleberries, on the other hand, require at least a full day's investment: a trip to the mountains, a treasure hunt for the precious fruit and then hours spent plunking the peasized huckleberries into cans. I'vepicked blueberriesin the pastandrevel in deli ght atthespeed areceptaclecan be filled, compared with the effort it takes to fill a can with huckleberries. See Berries/Br/,e 2B

I don't know if that is what keeps me going or not, but it stretches my legs and gets the kinks out just to move about in the house when I'm not in town where I can park my car several blocks away and walk to where I need to go, even though I notice the demand for oxygen is increasing. Breathe deeply. It helps the lungs. Keep moving, even slowly if necessary. I'm just full of good advice for everyone but myself. I don't know what keeps us in good health. I don't always follow my own rules. I think I'm just lucky to have lived so long and been in such reasonably good health. Not my own doing. I was told that we are placed here on earth for a reason and that we will stay until we have accomplished it. Makes one wonder, doesn't it? If it's true, I haven't any idea what my proposed task is that remains unfinished, but I'll work at it anyway as long asittakes.

Death penalty

HARTFORD, Conn. — Connecticut's highest court has struck down the state's death penalty, sparing thelivesof 11 killers on death row in a ruling that adds momentum to a nationwide movement to abolish executions. A 2012statelaw repealed the death penalty for future crimes while preserving it for those already condemned to die, butthe courtruled Thursday that the punishment"no longer comports with contemporary standards of decency" and violates the state's constitution. The divided, 4-3 ruling citedfactorsthathave come up in other states to abolish the death penalty including racial and economic disparities in its use, the costs involved with appeals, the cruelty of the wait for execution and the risk of executing innocent people. "They went at this from multiple angles in a way that is going to provide ammunition for abolitionists across the country," said David McGuire, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union of Connecticut. Opposition to the death penalty has been growing in the United States. Thirtyone states still have capital punishment, but several others have turned against it in recent years, including Nebraska, which voted for abolition in May, and Maryland, which abolished it in 2013. Robert Dunham, executivedirector ofthe nonprofit Death Penalty Information Center, noted

The Connecticut Supreme Court ruled that the state's use of the death penalty was unconstitutional. The state had already repealed capital punishment but left t t inmates on death row who had been previously convicted.

Jennifer Hawke-Petit was raped and strangled. Her daughters, Hayley, 17, and Michaela, 11, died of smoke inhalation after they were doused with gasoline and the house was set on fire. Michaela was sexually assaulted. In his ruling, Palmer wrote that it would not be permissible toexecuteother convicts "merely to achieve the politically popular end of killing two especially notorious inmates." The ruling drew harsh criticism from the three dissenting justices and legislative Republicans, who accused the court of taking on the role of pol icymakers. Santiago was sentenced to lethal injection in 2005 for the killing of 45-yearold Joseph Niwinski, who prosecutors say was shotin exchange for a pink-striped snowmobile with a broken clutch in 2000.

that the number of death sentencesimposed lastyear marked a 40-year low in the country. The ruling comes in an appeal from Eduardo Santiago, whose attorneys successfully argued that any execution carriedout afterthe 2012 repeal would constitute cruel and unusual punishment. Santiago, whose first death sentence was overturned, faced a second penalty hearing and the possibility oflethal injection for a 2000 murder-for-hire killing in West Hartford. But the Connecticut ban had been passed prospectively because many lawmakersrefused tovotefora bill that would spare the death penalty for Joshua Komisarjevsky and Steven Hayes. They had been convicted of killing a mother and her two daughters in a highly publicized 2007 home invasion in Cheshire.
