SUMMARY:SOCAN: What’s Happening to our Douglas firs?
DESCRIPTION:Anyone spending time in the dryer forests of Southern Oregon will have seen the splashes of orange among the healthy green backdrop. These splashes of color portend our future; they represent Douglas firs that are expiring. As the trees die\, the needles lose the healthy green chlorophyll that drives photosynthesis and produce the familiar orange splashes that increasingly dot the skyline of our hills.Extension Forester\, OSU (retired) Max Bennett has been studying this phenomenon for some years. \nBennett will provide an account of his findings and conclusions during the next Southern Oregon Climate Action Now monthly open public meeting. The program will occur on Tuesday August 29 th at 6:00 pm at the Medford Public Library. The presentation is free and open to the public.

Please consider making a donation when you purchase tickets. Non-reserved tickets available at Paddington Station\, 125 E Main St in Ashland\, or at the door. \n “We are better together!” – Information on both sister cities for Ashland can be found at ashland.or.us/SisterCity.\nThe Ashland City Council unanimously approved a sister city partnership with Sviatohirs’k\, Ukraine\, at the June 20\, 2023\, Council meeting. The relationship will support humanitarian aid and fundraising efforts within the Ashland community. The approved partnership authorized Mayor Tonya Graham to sign a Memorandum of Understanding that memorializes the relationship between Sviatohirs’k and Ashland and offers support amidst unimaginable suffering and dire conditions faced by our brothers and sisters of Ukraine. \nThe new sister city relationship will involve various reciprocal activities in education\, the arts and business\, such as exchange programs\, scholarships\, cultural events\, language training programs and potential business partnerships – Much like the relationship the City of Ashland has shared with their other sister city\, Guanajuato\, for over 50 years. However\, due to the devastation of Sviatohirs’k by Russian occupation in 2022\, the immediate goal will be to aid the new sister city. The Ashland–Sviatohirs’k Aid Project (ASAP) will be vital in this effort. \n“The city was 70% destroyed by the Russians\,” stated Ben Stott\, who has been leading the effort to form the new sister city relationship. “They were occupied for four months. When they (Russians) left\, they stole pretty much everything. They cleaned out the hospital. They just wiped out everything and stole it\, and so what we’re hoping to do through fundraising and public awareness is to help them rebuild the civic infrastructure so that they can get a working government again so people will start to move back to the city\,” Stott said. Graham added that she spoke with the Mayor of Sviatohirsk’s about the destruction of many parts of the Ukrainian city\, but the Ukrainian Mayor emphasized there is hope in the future of reciprocating the relationship with Ashland. But right now\, resources are needed.

SUMMARY:CULTIVATING WISDOM THROUGH HEALING ENGAGEMENT
DESCRIPTION:This event is Hosted by Nichol Chase and Notable Guests from the Lotus Institute. \nIs wisdom an immutable essence that only some possess\, or can it be cultivated? \nIn this online series\, Nichol Chase will engage in deep and meaningful conversations about cultivating wisdom through healing trauma\, self-mastery\, and building meaningful relationships. Dr. Daniel Siegel will join Nichol to discuss mindfulness through the lens of Interpersonal Neurobiology. Mahshid Hager\, LCSW\, will join to discuss movement through the lens of Somatic Experiencing. And Tracy Stackhouse will join to discuss music through the lens of the Polyvagal Theory. \nThroughout millennia\, some have described desirable human characteristics or gifts as immutable essences that are hard to train and require innate potential. In spite of this\, empirical research has revealed that expert abilities\, gifts or even wisdom are greatly influenced by the environment – which suggests that leaders are not born\, they are also made. In the paper Wisdom and how to cultivate it\, Igor Grossman suggests\, “The emerging evidence begins to suggest that from a constructivist point of view\, the potential for wise thinking emerged in the interaction of the person and their environment. It is up to us to realize this potential through the ways we view the self\, the situation\, and the world around us.”\nThroughout the series\, Nichol will talk about the Wisdom Building Method framework she developed during her time as a Garrison Institute Fellow. It draws upon the scientific disciplines of Interpersonal Neurobiology\, Somatic Experiencing and the Polyvagal Theory to inspire healing engagement through practice. \nTIMING\nAll sessions will run from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. ET\nFriday August 4\nTuesday August 8\nFriday August 11\nThe Zoom link will be emailed to you within 24 hours of signup.

SUMMARY:No Way To Treat A Child: American Friends Service Committee
DESCRIPTION:Please join the #nowaytotreatachild campaign co-leaders from Defense for Children International – Palestine and American Friends Service Committee for a webinar on July 25 at 12 p.m. Eastern / 9 a.m. Pacific / 5 p.m. BST.  \nPalestinian rights organizers\, activists\, and advocates across the United States have been busy working to advance the Palestinian Children and Families Act\, H.R. 3103\, which aims to prohibit Israel from using U.S. taxpayer funds to detain and torture Palestinian children\, demolish or seize Palestinian homes and property\, and further annex the occupied West Bank. During this webinar\, several special guests will share their experiences advocating for Palestinian rights in the U.S. and share tips for how you can make progress with your elected officials. \nBackground \nApproximately 2.9 million Palestinians live in the occupied West Bank\, of which around 45 percent are children under the age of 18. \nPalestinian children in the West Bank\, like adults\, face arrest\, prosecution\, and imprisonment under an Israeli military detention system that denies them basic rights. \nSince 1967\, Israel has operated two separate legal systems in the same territory. In the occupied West Bank\, Israeli settlers are subject to the civilian and criminal legal system whereas Palestinians live under military law. \nIsrael applies civilian criminal law to Palestinian children in East Jerusalem. No Israeli child comes into contact with the military courts. \nIsrael has the dubious distinction of being the only country in the world that automatically and systematically prosecutes children in military courts that lack fundamental fair trial rights and protections. Israel prosecutes between 500 and 700 Palestinian children in military courts each year. \nIll-treatment in the Israeli military detention system remains “widespread\, systematic\, and institutionalized throughout the process\,” according to the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) report Children in Israeli Military Detention Observations and Recommendations. \nChildren typically arrive to interrogation bound\, blindfolded\, frightened\, and sleep deprived. \nChildren often give confessions after verbal abuse\, threats\, physical and psychological violence that in some cases amounts to torture. \nIsraeli military law provides no right to legal counsel during interrogation\, and Israeli military court judges seldom exclude confessions obtained by coercion or torture. \nABOUT #NOWAYTOTREATACHILD’S WEBINARS AND ZOOM:\nFor this webinar\, we will be using the Zoom platform. Additional instructions and details for joining the webinar will be shared by email with individuals that have registered. \nWHEN \nJuly 25\, 2023 at 12:00pm – 1pm \nWHERE \nOnline via Zoom \nCONTACT \nBrad Parker · info@nowaytotreatachild.org
