SNAP benefits extended to those impacted by wildfires The Oregon Depart- ment of Human Services (ODHS) has received fed- eral approval to extend the normal 10-day deadline for Supplemental Nutrition As- sistance Program (SNAP) recipients in 20 counties to request replacement of benefits as a result of food lost due to power outages and wildfires that began on Sept. 7. The extension gives SNAP recipients in Ben- ton, Clackamas, Columbia, Coos, Deschutes, Doug- las, Jackson, Jefferson, Jo- sephine, Klamath, Lake, Lane, Lincoln, Linn, Mar- ion, Multnomah, Tilla- mook, Wasco, Washington, and Yamhill counties until Oct. 7 to apply to replace food purchased with their SNAP benefits. “Replacing SNAP ben- efits will help Oregonians provide food for their families so they can focus on recovering from the wildfires,” said Dan Haun, ODHS Self-Sufficiency Programs Director. “We hope that these replace- ment benefits will help al- leviate worries about food and feeding themselves and their families.” SNAP recipients do not need to visit an office. They can request replacement food benefits by calling their local office and sub- mitting the required infor- mation by email, fax or reg- ular mail. Recipients can use either Form DHS 0349D (Affida- vit for Nonreceipt or De- stroyed Food Stamp Ben- efits) or submit a signed and dated written request that includes how the food was destroyed, the date it happened, destroyed food items and the amount paid for each item.

Brian Francis O’Neil, age 72, died peacefully in his home on the morning of Sunday, September 20th alongside his beloved wife Myrna Blancia O’Neil aft er a long battle with gastric cancer. He leaves be- hind fi ve sons—Galen, Jhomer, Dustin, Shane, and Anthony— and two grandchildren—Clara and Jasper. Brian has always felt most at home in the forests of the West Coast and he chose to live out his fi nal months on the tree farm that he’s cultivat- ed for more than 40 years. Brian was born on July 20th, 1948 on Whidbey Island in Washington State as the sec- ond-oldest son of ten brothers and sisters. His father, James F. O’Neil, was a Navy Offi cer and pilot, so the family lived in Florida, Ohio, Maryland, and Rhode Island as Brian was growing up. Brian attended John Carroll University and majored in economics with a minor in history—he re- mained a passionate historian until he died. In his early twen- ties, Brian registered as a con- scientious objector to the war in Vietnam, choosing domestic service in hospitals in Miami and Cleveland. He also trav- eled the world—Europe, the Middle East and Asia—for two years, including spending nine months with the Dalai Lama. Refl ecting on his life, Brian re- membered: “I always wanted to return to the West, where I was born.” In the early 1970s, Brian traveled with friends in a milk truck across the country to Or- egon. When he came through the Mckenzie Pass, he was struck by the natural beauty of the forest and decided to put down roots. At home in Ore- gon, Brian had many careers: planting trees and fi ghting fi res for the Forest Service, working as a registered nurse in Cottage Grove, and driving a school bus for South Lane School Dis- trict for nearly two decades. However, his true passion was responsible forestry manage- ment. Spanning all of those years, he spent evenings and weekends tirelessly tending to his 50 acre tree farm on Over- holser Road, where he spent his fi nal days. Refl ecting on the coming end of his life, Brian looked to an ancient Buddhist teaching: “If you haven’t con- templated your death before noon, you’ve wasted a day,” he said. Brian came from a large Irish Catholic family and wor- shipped locally at Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Cottage Grove. A memorial service will be held there at 11am on Friday October 2nd for friends and family, though many will attend virtually due to the pandemic. In lieu of fl owers or gift s, the family requests dona- tions to the wildfi re fi ght eff ort in Oregon right now through the Northwest Response Fund.
