He read statistics which stated that 1-in-4 women will experience domes- tic violence in her life, and 1-in-5 will experience sexual violence. “In Florence, Siuslaw Outreach Services continues to provide advocacy services to women and men who have been victims of domestic violence, and serves, on aver- age, over 150 persons per year,” Henry read. After concluding the proclamation, Henry added, “I want to say thanks to Siuslaw Outreach Services and to all the volunteers. They do a real good job for us. It’s sad in a community of our size that we have this problem, but it is there with us.” SOS led a march for awareness last week.

Anyone interested in pur- chasing a permit is encouraged to contact their nearest national forest office for details.

There will be a reduced supply of personal use permits due to a current shortage of harvestable wood. Those interested in purchas- ing a commercial permit must first contact the district office, 541-563-8400, to learn how to submit an advance permit request in writing. Individuals may purchase a commercial permit for up to a maximum of 15 cords. The cost for commercial permits is $20/cord with a six cord mini- mum and 15 cord maximum, with 30 days to harvest the wood. Across the forest, firewood harvesting must occur in desig- nated cutting areas only. Maps are available for review at dis- trict offices prior to purchasing a permit and will also be issued at the time of permit sales. When collecting firewood, harvesters are reminded to: • Adhere to provisions listed on their permit • Clean up cutting area, scat- tering or removing debris from wood cutting • Keep firewood lengths to 6 feet or less when transporting • Accurately record quanti- ties cut on their removal cards and firmly attach load tags to the transported wood If collecting only limbs, chunks of wood or bark for per- sonal use only, firewood gath- erers should request a free-use permit. No power equipment can be used when gathering free-use firewood. Free-use permittees cannot gather their firewood within cutting areas designated for paid permittees. Failure to comply with pro- visions on any firewood permit may result in fines up to $5,000, forfeiture of the permit, or both.
