(AP) — The state has asked for the dismissal of a lawsuit filed by Linn County that alleges Oregon officials have mismanaged forest lands. Linn County contends Oregon has deprived counties of more than $1.4 billion by prioritizing environmental concerns instead of logging. The Capital Press reports (https://is.gd/Y42uEK ) that an Oregon attorney said during oral arguments Monday that the case should be tossed because the forests are meant to be managed for the greatest permanent value, and that includes factors beyond timber production. Counties acquired these forest lands by foreclosing on property tax liens during the Great Depression but turned them over to state ownership in exchange for a portion of future logging revenues. An attorney representing Linn County said the counties would not have donated the land if they’d known the state would change the terms of the deal. 234 pounds of morel mushrooms seized from Crater Lake Park PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Crater Lake National Park rangers have seized 234 pounds of morel mushrooms worth an estimated $8,000 that were harvested illegally from the park over the Fourth of July weekend. Chief Ranger Kean Mihata said Monday authorities have issued citations to 14 people in connection with the crime. Mushroom hunting is prohibited in national parks but allowed in some areas of national forest. Harvesters who want the mushrooms for personal use can gather up to 5 gallons a day without a permit. The mushrooms, which can retail for $20 a pound, grow in forests burned by wildfire, making the area surrounding Crater Lake ideal for hunters. The park recorded its largest fire on record last year when flames burned nearly 21,000 acres in the park and nearby Rogue River- Siskiyou National Forest. Bend man accused of abusing dog BEND, Ore. (AP) — A Bend man has been charged with animal abuse after witnesses told police he kicked and punched his 6-month-old dog. The Bulletin reports (https:// is.gd/GW3CRk ) police obtained a search warrant Friday night to seize the shepherd mix named Diesel and have him evaluated. The warrant was served Sunday, and a veterinarian determined Diesel had multiple injuries. The suspect, 20-year-old Tyler Speas, faces charges of aggravated animal abuse and attempted animal abuse. He tells KTVZ (http://bit. ly/29zyfct ) he spanked the dog for peeing in the car. He says he loves Diesel and the charges are “outrageous.” Backyard bird watching with Harry: by Harry Johnson Since we celebrated our great national holiday again – Fourth of July, let’s talk about the bald eagle.

Cheryl and I love viewing bald eagles. If you take I-5 north past Seven Feathers Casino, you’ll see eagle nests all along the highway between the casino and Roseburg. You can also check out the nest right in front of the lotto sign at Rogue River and at mile 33 on the eastside. During the fall, try going to Klamath Falls for some of the best eagle views around. If you are driving north go the Ankeny Reserve by Salem. They have a large number of birds to view dur- ing the fall season.

This entire unraveling of who are as a people has unfolded in front of us in horrifying detail. But how could this happen? How could we have fallen so far and retreated so far into our fear of one another that we think the only solution is to kill one another? As I watched I heard someone say something that hit me like a bolt of lightning. During the discussions about all the hatred and distrust on all sides someone said, “I can’t hear you if I think you hate me.” It is a simple statement that explains so much; not only about the violence of the past few days but also the verbal vio- lence and vitriol of our political campaigns. We’ve all retreated to our respective corners and stopped listening to one another. We only come out to try and land blows and deliver a knockout punch. “I can’t hear you if I think you hate me.” We have University campuses that develop lists of “trig- ger words” that are forbidden to be used because they cause people in certain groups to feel threatened. And once some is “triggered,” they have an excuse to stop listening. For I long time I dismissed this business of trigger words and micro aggressions as a bunch of nonsense. I thought, “Stop being so sensitive. Pull up your big boy pants and just get over it. Life is tough, so learn to deal with it and move on.” But we have a generation that has grown up under a political system that makes hay out of teaching people to be afraid of one another. By telling us over and over that everyone who isn’t like us hates us and wants to oppress us, they solidify their own power. That’s the reality for young people. That’s what they know: identity politics that tell us that “the other” hates us and we need the government to save us and set things right. “I can’t hear you if I think you hate me.” But there’s another truth as well. We can’t know what it’s like to be African-American or Latino or transgender or gay. We can’t know what it’s like to have police look at you as a potential criminal because of the color of your skin, or to constantly have people stare at you because you’re different, or to have them look at you with suspicion because it doesn’t look like you “belong” in this neighborhood. We can’t know what it’s like to be afraid to go to Wal-Mart at 10 p.m. because someone might think you’re up to no good. It’s not part of our experience, but that doesn’t make it any less real. “I can’t hear you if I think you hate me.” The only way we can make things different is to start lis- tening to one another. And the only we can make that happen is to take away the fear by loving one another first just like Jesus loves us.
