The local Auxiliary is always ready to help the local Veterans during special activi ties. Just like all the Auxiliary groups across the country where they are always ready to serve their Veterans in every capacity they can. The holi days are coming up and there are several Veterans out there who have very little or noth ing at all. This is where a lot of Auxiliary groups help their Veterans. Our ladies Auxiliary here in Warm Springs was a very ac tive group and ready to help where ever they could espe cially during the Veterans ac tivities. The local Auxiliary was highly respected .across the state and recognized for the fine work they did for their Veterans. Like all groups at times attendance is very low and just a very few try to keep (he organization going. It should be an incentive to start making the regular meetings to boost the interest in the orga nization once again. Remember during the month of November is the time to renew your member ship, and try to recruit new members also. It would be a big project to recruit as many new members as you can and maintain your high esteem among the rest of the groups across the state. Veterans Day is coming up soon and all the Auxiliary groups will be joining their Veterans to honor them on that day.

This symptom occurs to babies born early. The retina does not fully de velop behind the eyeball and connect to the back of the eye. Every day for months, while he was in the hospital, he was connected to a respirator and monitors. The small size of his body did not permit the doc tors to give him shoots on his arms or thighs. They were only to give him his shots on the heels of his feet. From the nurses' strike at Beth Kaiser Permanente and being transferred to Oregon Health Services University where he wears a scar on his cheek to this day from a heated respirator tube, a minor stroke and several eye surgeries - over coming all that the world could throw at him, Jeremy survived. Clothes to fit him bordered on non-existent to nearly im possible to find. Clothes were not the only hard-to-find item. Diapers were just as rare. Even finding nipples to baby bottles was like looking for a needle in a haystack. One day while in Portland on a weekend, we came across a small shop on a back street that specialized in clothes for premature babies They stocked everything from clothes to specialized cat seats. Through it all, the soft feel of cotton socks covering his feet was what he liked best. When he was released to come home on a warm sunny day in October, Jeremy would not let anyone touch his feet. He is still like that to this day. To motivate Jeremy to "see" the world, his parents bribed him with sounds and cookies. Once he conquered his fear of exploring, no place in the house was safe from him. From the bedrooms to the living rooms and the hallways, he would go there. His favorite place to hang out was in the hallways. The acoustics there were to his liking and he would always end up there. The sup port the family received from Central Oregon Regional Pro gram helped in his progress with learning materials and physical exercises to do while he was an infant. Riding on toys with wheels is one of his joys, to feel the vibrations as he traveled across gravel, going over bumps fast Listening to talking drum on the radio and listening to sto ries are other activities that he likes. Once he could sit indepen dendy, Jeremy was given a toy piano. He began to hone his musical talents. As he got older, he found out that the toy pianos did not have the scale to go lower or higher. If the instrument could not do the things that he wanted it to do, they were soon left to one side and he would not bother with it again. Jeremy has been attending Oregon School for the Blind in Salem since he was 9 years old. Since he has been there, his daily living skills have im proved. Mobility around town and the use of public transpor tation, currency, and Braille are just some of the skills he is learning. Other activities he enjoys while he is there are field trips, concerts at Willamette University, sport ing events and music recitals. He comes home every other weekend throughout the school year. His school year is the same as regular students. His other interests are going on trips with the family. Do ing activities with his sister and brothers. Listening to pep bands at high school games, birthdays and the holidays. On June 2, 2001, he cel ebrated his 13 birthday. He lives his life like a normal boy of his age. (Every year Jeremy's Christ mas wish list includes a baby grand piano. Maybe one day he'll own one.) it L o jf If Photos by Tina (the photographer formerly known as Princess) Agullar Betty Hewson (above) works in the IHS lab by day, but is a vampiress at night.
