TRIAL
continued from page 1
if an agreement is not reached, said
Michelle Dunn, trial clerk at the court.
Officers from the Eugene Police De
partment dted Morales for allegedly as
saulting University senior Erica Hass ear
ly in the morning of Sept. 12 near
Taylor's Bar and Grill, at 894 E. 13th Ave.
I lass later called police to report
Morales had assaulted her.
During the police investigation,
Hass told an officer that Morales ran
at her screaming, shoved her down,
dragged her by her ankle for 15 to 20
feet and smashed her cell phone.
Morales told police that Hass fell
because she was drunk, and he said her
cell phone was destroyed because she
threw it at him and he threw it back.
Both Hass and Morales told police
they had been asked to leave Taylor's af
ter engaging in an earlier verbal dispute.
Morales may face as much as a
$500 fine and/or 100 days in jail if
found guilty of assault, and a $2,500
fine and/or 100 days in jail if found
guilty of criminal mischief in the sec
ond degree.
The trial, which will be held at 777
Pearl St. in Room No. 104, begins at
1:15 p.m.

RALLY

buffers for those species.
Western Environmental Law Center at
torney Pete Frost noted that the North
west Forest Plan divides old-growth
forests into "reserve" and "matrix" areas,
and Survey and Manage rules focus specif
ically on the survey of old-growth stands.
"That standard has been very impor
tant in stopping logging in only old
growth forests," Frost said. 'This stan
dard has really been about preserving
up to 400-year-old trees. The Bush ad
ministration is proposing to eliminate
that standard so that old-growth
within the matrix can be logged."
Last October, Frost and his firm,
which was representing ONRC, won

a case against the Forest Service pro
tecting six timber sales — including
Straw Devil, Clark, Solo and Borg —
across 574 acres of old-growth in the
Mt. Hood and Willamette National
Forests. It claimed the Forest Service
had failed to properly survey for
species, such as the red tree vole, un
der the Survey and Manage standard.
However, without that standard in
place, all old-growth forests within 4.5
million acres of public land are at risk
for logging, Frost said. Already new en
vironmental draft assessments — the
precursor to any logging activity — have
been released for the six timber sales.
Kelley Townsend, a member of the
Eugene-based Oregon Forest Research
and Education Group, said only 3 to
5 percent of old-growth across the
United States remain, adding that any
plans to cut in those area are "ridicu
lous."
"The remaining old-growth in na
tional forests are a very finite resource,
much better used for public enjoy
ment and recreation," he said. "Virtu
ally any product made from old
growth lumber can be made from
small pieces of second-growth timber."
While the presence of the red tree
vole, an arboreal critter that subsists on
Douglas fir needle that is the primary
food source for the spotted owl, played
a primary role in protecting old-growth
forests, Heiken said smaller species of
life are just as important as the larger
ones. He added that a variety of sala
mander, fungi, mollusks, lichen and
vascular plants would all become threat
ened from the removal of protections.

crowd, which reached a peak of about
25 people, wore costumes of the ani
mals and species that would become
threatened and held up signs that
read "296 species sentenced to
death," and "Look before you log,
duh." One banner read "End com
mercial logging on public lands."
Other people held flowers.
Not all at the rally were in agree
ment with such sentiments, however.
Lane Community College student
Jonney Reb said environmental pro
tections go too far and affect the eco
nomics of workers of the timber indus
try far too much.
Protesters conducted a mock funeral
procession around 9:15 a.m.for the af
fected forest species, walking around
the block of West Seventh Avenue and
High Street to the front of the Federal
Building, where they held a eulogy in
front of law enforcement officers, who
guarded the door and took pictures.
Protesters stood in silence as a man
named Praxis read a statement he
wrote.
"The loss of the web of life is pro
found, and no doubt the rest of the web
will suffer," he said. "The last remaining
ancient forests of Oregon are set to fall
before the saws of loggers, at the feet of
men who have learned nothing in
5,000 years except how to kill more ef
ficiently.
"Let us each use whatever means we
have available to us to ensure that this
distraction does not happen, because
our liberation is tied up with theirs."
University graduate student Thomas
Nail said he considered the rally a sym
bolic action with two purposes: educat
ing the general public and providing an
outlet for people to express their frus
trations with the decision-makers in in
stitutions of power.
"I don't see it particularly effecting
direct change or legislation," he said.
"However, environmental law and
demonstrations go hand in hand. One
without the other won't be affected."
Frost said without civilian survey
teams, he could not have won the
ONRC lawsuit preventing Straw Devil
and other timber sales.
"I appreciate what activists do. We
couldn't have a strong forest preserva
tion movement without activists. I re
lied in the Straw Devil case on ONRC
volunteers to prove logging was illegal."
