I’ve been living with my boy­
friend for 3 years. We have 5
children in the home and those
looking in think w e're married.
We live like a married couple but
I want a real commitment. He
feels we don’t need a piece of
paper to make a difference. We
filed for a marriage license at
City Hall but the application
expired. I feel he’s procrastinat­
ing and 1 don’ t know what to do.

Dear Need to Know:
Considering the number of kids
you have, a decision should be
made immediately. It’s unfair and
a bad example for the kids to see
their parents playing house in­
stead of doing the right thing.
Have a discussion with him ex­
pressing family values, benefits
and your matrimony desires.
That piece of paper makes a big
difference especially when it
comes to the destination of his
soul, benefits and of course,
being a real man.
Dear Deanna!
My brother's girlfriend intro­
duced me to her cousin and we
started dating. This was okay
until my mother and brother

and don’t want him around my
son or me. My boyfriend forgot
to tell me about his drinking
problem. When he drinks, he
gets crazy and tries to fight ev­

brother and mother to accept
him. How do 1 handle this situ­

opportunity to try to challenge
virtually every Measure 11 sen­
tence that com es dow n the
pike," Mannix said.
But the ruling likely will ap­
ply to only a few cases even
though it showed the Oregon
Supreme Court is willing to ap­
ply the proportionality stan­
dard to the facts of individual
cases, according to M argie
Paris, dean of the University of
O regon School o f Law and
criminal law expert.
"I don't think it’s going to
clog the courts," Paris said.
"The ruling is going to apply
only in these exceptional cir­
cumstances. But it does make a
dent in the mandatory sentenc­
ing law."
Although the Supreme Court
overturned the mandatory six-
year sentences in both cases, it
let the convictions stand, along
w ith the sh o rte r se n te n c e s
originally imposed at trial for
both Rodriguez and Buck, 16
months and 17 months, respec­
tively.
The m andatory sentences
were later imposed by the O r­
egon Court of Appeals, not the
trial courts, where judges re­
jected Measure 11 with reason­
ing similar to the that of the Or­
egon Supreme Court.
