"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.
If you would like more information on how to volunteer and better serve our Tribal Children, please
detach and complete this form and return it to: Tribal Court Programs Specialist, 9615 Grand
Ronde Road, Grand Ronde, Oregon 97347. For additional Information, call 503-879-4623 or e-mail:

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.
