'She was a really good friend'
PASSING continued
from page 10
is a treasured possession.
“She was a really good friend,” he
said. “She always treated you the
way you treated her. There was
never any BS. It was straight to
the point when she talked to you.”
Upon her retirement, Whitecloud
said she was going to tend to her
yard at her Grand Meadows home
and continue with her craft proj-
ects. She also continued to attend
Tribal Council meetings occasion-
ally, passionately expressing her
opinion on matters of importance.
Whitecloud is survived by two
children, Christina and Ken Tre-
vino. She was preceded in death
by her daughter, Cynthia Leann
Trevino Jr.-Williams, in 2008.
A funeral service will be held at
1 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 30, in the
Tribal gym, 9615 Grand Ronde
Road. A meal will follow the ser-
vice in the Elders Activity Center.
Burial will occur at a later date
at the Holmes family cemetery in
Grand Ronde.
Bollman Funeral Home of Dallas
is caring for the family.

Police Department
handing out safety awards
Grand Ronde children who wear a helmet while riding their bicy-
cles may receive a safety award if they are seen by members of the
Grand Ronde Tribal Police Department.
Lt. Tim Hernandez said Tribal police will be handing out the safety
awards to community children found wearing their bicycle helmets
on a consistent basis.
The safety award is actually a coupon for a free ice cream at Grand
Ronde Station near Spirit Mountain Casino on Highway 18 or at
Grand Ronde Market at the corner of Grand Ronde Road and High-
way 18. Hernandez said the Tribal Housing Department donated
$300 to fund the effort.
“The stores are looking into asking their vendors if they would like
to participate,” Hernandez said. “We also have our officers donating
to the cause as well.”
For more information about the program, contact Hernandez at
503-879-1824.
