They lived in Toledo, Ore., all their married life Peter was preceded in death by his father, Roy Downey; mother, Mae Downey (Adams); brothers, Kenneth Blacketer, Roy Downey Jr. and Melvin Downey; and sisters, Genevive Adams-Gavin, Ila Hoi- ness and JoAnn Miller.

Peter lived in the Siletz/Toledo area for his entire life other than the time he spent serving our country in the Korean War. He loved to be in the woods, driving around scouting out elk herds and bird watching. He also enjoyed driving to see family compete in sporting events. Much of his working life was spent in the woods working as a logger and log truck driver and as a heavy equipment operator for the county road department. He loved his family and the Lord, most of all his lovely wife Lorraine who passed in 1996. He was always there to give encouragement and knowledge to all who would listen. Services were held at the Siletz Tribal Community Center in Siletz on June 24. Arrangements were entrusted to Bateman Funeral Home. Courtesy photo Courtesy photo Peter J.

We got news that our program was chosen to be a western region pilot program to distribute whole eggs, which will replace the powdered egg mix in the food package. Each family member will be eligible to receive one dozen eggs per month, so if you have a household of four, you would be eligible to receive four dozen eggs. How exciting is that! We can start ordering eggs in August, which our fresh produce vendor will ship. 6 • Siletz News • Roy and Tammey Baker would like to announce on July 16 the mar- riage of their daughter, Shawna Lee Baker, to John Montter, son of Christie and Mark Siliman of Van- couver, Wash., and John Montter Sr. of Newport, Ore. In August, we also should be allowed to start ordering the frozen, whole wheat tortillas. These will be another great addi- tion to the food package. They will be in the cracker category on the shopping list. USDA also is looking for a vendor to provide sockeye salmon steaks for the program. This is still a ways down the road, but definitely will happen. Also, wild rice is on its way and the apple/cherry juice too. If you are on the SNAP program and do not receive enough to get you through the month, give us a call and we can check to see if you qualify for our program. You also can go to the Siletz Tribal website, download the application and send it to us. We can try to get you certified and get food for your household. The income guideline is also on the website.
