Peter J. Downey – 1933-2016
Peter J. Downey, 82, was born in
Siletz, Ore., on July 2, 1933 and passed
away on June 8, 2016.
Peter married Lorraine Amanda
(Alekson) Downey on April 6, 1957. 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.

Lisa and I attended the 29 th annual
National Association of Food Distribution
Programs on Indian Reservations (NAFD-
PIR) conference in June in Traverse City,
Mich. 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.

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.

at SILETZ TRIBAL FDPIR. I am
posting recipes, distribu-
tion dates, pictures and food
safety tips.
