Cassandra Lynn Newman
July 30, 1972 April 15, 2007
Tribal member Cassandra Newman passed away on April 15,
2007. She was only 34. Cassandra was born in Randle, Washington
to the proud parent's Clarence W. and Tribal member Margaret
E. (Taylor) Patching who proceeded her in death on April 1, 2004.
Sandra is how her family referred to her. Her nephews, great
.nephews, and great nieces referred to her as San-San, except for
one great niece who was named after our mom, Jasmine Margaret
Ann Bastin. Sandra was the only one who called her baby Mar
garet and to Jasmine Sandra she was known as "sunshine." We
figure that she came to believe her name to be sunshine because
from birth till now age 2, Sandra song to her the song "you are my
sunshine my only sunshine." Now baby Margaret who does not
understand why she cannot see her sunshine. We tried to explain
that now she shines down from above for all to see.
Sandra was raised in Rainier, Oregon, later moving to Skamo
kawa, Washington. Sandra leaves behind three sisters; Tina Bastin,
Debbie Bastin and Rhonda Bond; father Clarence W. Patching. San
dra has also left behind her husband of 12 years, Carl E. Newman,
and two daughter they raised, Cassie Jane, who was four months
old when she came to live with them along with her sister Crystal,
who was two at the time. Our little sister will be greatly missed,
however we do take comfort knowing she is with our mother and
she no longer suffers from extensive medical conditions that weiew
she would never recover from. She has finished her journey in life
on earth, now she walks on to live in peace for all eternity. Our
family has gained so much from being enrolled Tribal members. No
word's can express how great full we are, we were not financially
prepared for mom or Sandra's burial expenses. We feel without
the Tribal burial benefit that our family would not of been able to
give our loved ones the kind of service they deserve. So the family
of Cassandra L. Newman, would like to say thank you for without
your help, this untimely death would of added financial stress on
top of grief and sorrow. Many thanks to all family members who
helped us during our time of need. A special thank you goes to our
mother's sister, Aunt Evelyn Stevens of Yakima, who comforted us
and prayed with us girls. She encouraged us to be strong for mom
and Sandra. She listened to our cry's of pain. We are so blessed to
have her as our aunt. Thank you all, Rhonda Bond, Tina, Debbie,
Clarence Patching (Dad) and Carl Newman (husband).

PUBLIC RECORDS ORDINANCE OPEN FOR COMMENT
The Tribal Council, in consultation with the Tribal Attorney's
Office, is considering adoption of a Public Records Ordinance. .The
proposed Ordinance was given a First Reading at the May 2, 2007,
Tribal Council Meeting.
The purpose of this Ordinance is to set forth an orderly method
for Tribal members to request and receive copies of, or access to,
certain Tribal records. The Tribal Council believes that Tribal
Administration has a responsibility to inform its members about
matters of interest to the entire membership, and that making
Tribal records available to Tribal members helps fulfill this re
sponsibility. The Tribal Council further believes that Tribal gov
ernment should be open and transparent, but recognizes that the
protection of Tribal sovereignty and culture prevents disclosure
of some Tribal records.
Among other things, the Ordinance (1) creates the position of
Records Administrator and defines this position's.duties and re
sponsibilities, (2) defines what records are subject to and excluded
from disclosure, (3) sets forth the process for requesting copies of
or access to Tribal records, and (4) provides a process to appeal
denials of requests.
For a copy of the Public Records Ordinance please contact the
Tribal Attorney's Office at 503-879-4664. The Tribal Council
invites comment on the Ordinance. Please send your comments
to the Tribal Attorney's Office, 9615 Grand Ronde Road, Grand
Ronde, OR 97347.
Comments must be received by June 15, 2007.
