Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde Tribal Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) Program Wawa pus tenas "Speaking for ChildrenYouth" Each year, approximately 780,000 children in the U.S. are caught in the court and child welfare maze because they are unable to live safely at home. Approximately 13,965 children in the state of Oregon have been in foster care at least once during the past year. Currently, there are approximately 87 Grand Ronde children in foster care. Half of those children are wards of the Tribal Court right here in the Grand Ronde Community. The Grand Ronde Tribal Court is looking for committed, caring volunteers who want to help these children by advocating for the child. The Tribal Court CASA Program will train all volunteer advocates. Give these children a voice during this difficult time, help these children to receive the services they need, stay connected to their culture and find safe permanent homes.

Samuel IssacElklns June 15, 1991 - April 29, 2010 The one and only Samuel Isaac Elkins passed away in a tragic car accident on April 29, 2010. He was 18 years old. Sam grew up in Happy Valley. He went to Happy Valley Elementary School, Sunrise Middle School and was a 2009 Clackamas High School graduate. He went to Linn-Benton Community College and Clackamas Community College for a term each and had plans to start back in the fall. Sammy had big dreams and huge potential. He could do whatever he set his mind to. Sam had a contagious smile and an unmatched zest for life. He made a point to have fun each and every day. He loved wakeboarding, snowboarding, riding his Banshee and floating the Clackamas River. Sam had a passion for doing "burn outs" and loved a thumpin stereo system and music of all types. He was an amazing son and brother. We have been so blessed to have him and he truly was and is such an incredible being. Sam would do anything to make people laugh; he said the risk was always worth the reward! He was known throughout the com munity for being mischievous and full of adventure. His given Native American name was Otter Eyes. He touched the lives of everybody he met, and literally everyone he met loved him. Sam is survived by his loving parents, Ray and Nikki Elkins; little brothers and biggest fans, Benji and Alex Elkins; half-brothers, Danny Jahnke and Dylan Blazevic; grandparents, Vicki Long, Bill Long, B.K. Bullock and Ray Jr. and Diane Elkins; special family member, Margie Long; and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins, all who loved him like no other. Sam also left his D&R family and hundreds of friends, whom he treasured. Our Sammy didn't like sadness or conflict, so we won't live our lives in sadness or conflict, but live the way he would in his honor. WWSD? May his spirit rest with the Lord Jesus and live with us forever. In lieu of flowers, the Sam Elkins Memorial Fund has been established at Sterling Savings Bank in Happy Valley. All dona tions will pay sports fees for those in need in the Clackamas sports programs.
