shelter on the East Side. This shelter
would:
a. Be temporary, perhaps in an emp
ty warehouse, for the cold weather
b. Accommodate 200 persons, in

c. Provide for pets and storage o f

a. Cracking people out o f shelters
at 5:30 AM, forcing them to stay on
the street all day, is cruel and unnec
essary “ punishment" for the loss o f
entry-level jobs and SRO rooms over
the past ten years.
b. The current situation just drives
people back and forth across the
Burnside Bridge, in the cold, and
sends people to St. Francis Dining
Hall, which is not equipped as a
shelter, since it provides meals for
300+ people each afternoon.

Don’t Be Left With The Short End Of The Stick
No Doubt About It, Winter Has Arrived
No doubt about it, winter has
arrived. Snow in the mountains, wind
and rain at lower elevations — and
that pile o f leaves clogging the storm
drain are a sure sign that it ’s time to
settle in for the storm season ahead.
Pacific Power reminds area res
idents that it’ s also time to review
preparations for the possibility o f an
unexpected interruption in electrical
service.
“ Although we try to provide re
liable electric service no matter what
th» weather, the best way to handle
tlfe unexpected is to be prepared,”

ered, pay the deliverer a little extra to
stack it up for you. I f you start to use
the firewood before it is measured,
there is no way to prove you might
have been shortchanged.
A bill o f sale is also very impor
tant.
“ As a minimum, you should ob
tain a receipt which lists the quantity,
the kind o f wood purchased, the sell
er’s name, an address, and a phone
number,” says Simila.
Oregon law states that any time
firewood is advertised or offered for
sale, the ad must specify list the quan
tity in terms o f cords or fractions o f
cords.
“ Most newspapers in Oregon are
aware o f that legal requirement for
representing firewood and w ill not
print an ad that does not specify the
amount in cords or fractions o f cords,”
says Simila.
I f someone tries to sell you fire
wood but does not offer it in terms o f
cords, that could be a tip o ff that they
are really just trying to sell you a bill o f
goods.
“ It is possible you might get an
honest del ¡very not measured in cords,”
says Simila. “ It is very likely, though,
that the reason they are not selling it to
you in cords is because they are not
delivering the amount you might think
you are getting.”
Be alert and don’t be afraid to
report any suspicions to O D A ’s Mea
surement Standards Division. Even if
the sale is based on cords or fractions
o f cords, remember to stack it up and
measure it. I f you think you’ve been
shortchanged and the seller can’t or
won’t correct the problem, contact the
department. Usually, 90% ofthe prob
lems can be resolved between buyer
and seller. The other 10% ends up
involving ODA which, in turn, takes
the matter to the Oregon Department
o f Justice. Criminal penalties can re
sult from firewood fraud.
