Oregonians who normally receive their Supplemental Nutrition Assis- tance Program benefits between the first or ninth of each month will get their March allocation on March 1. The U.S. Department of Agri- culture has asked states to provide early issuance of March benefits for those who rely on SNAP for food security. This request is because of the par- tial federal government shutdown that occurred in January. This is the second month that SNAP benefits will be issued dif- ferently than the regular issuance schedule. The early March issuance date will help to ease the burden on affected households who have had a longer than usual gap between their usual SNAP issuances. “We understand that this disrup- tion in the schedule of how bene- fits are distributed can be difficult for SNAP participants,” said Self-Suf- ficiency Programs Director Kim Fredlund. “Our goal, during this unprecedented time, is to ensure we provide vulnerable Oregonians with access to food benefits and help them find additional resources if needed.” If people are concerned about running out of SNAP benefits, they can contact 211Info, the Oregon Food Bank or the Aging and Disability Resource Con- nection to find resources in their local communities.

David Wayne Paustian June 29, 1959 — Feb. 10, 2019 David Wayne Paustian, age 59, passed away on Feb. 10 at his home in Baker City, Oregon. David was born on June 29, 1959, in Prairie City, Oregon. When he was less than a year old, the family moved to Unity, Oregon, and from there they moved to Izee, Oregon, where they lived for the next fi ve years. Then, his dad’s job with Ellingson Lum- ber Company had the family moving to Baker where David remained for the rest of his childhood attending Baker schools. As a teenager, David worked summers in Prairie City at the Oxbow Ranch, and as a young adult he went to work at Ellingson Saw Mill. David got into welding/ fabricating and remained doing that work for the rest of his life. This line of work took him away from Baker, traveling as far as Kentucky and Alabama. He made his home in northern Idaho in the Kamiah and Weippe areas. In 2017 he moved back to Baker City to be closer to family and started working for Harney Rock & Paving where he remained until his death. David is survived by his dad, Gordon Paustian, of Baker City; brother-in-law, Lee Fuge, of Canby, Oregon; sister, Carrol (Bob) Titus, of Prairie City; sister, Tammy Zemmer, of Baker City; brother, Gary (Sherri) Paustian, of Nampa, Idaho; and numerous nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews, aunts, uncles and cousins. He was preceded in death by his mother, Fay Paustian; and oldest sister, René Fuge.
