Spitpiy Staff
For all ihc Veterans func
tions we have here on the res
ervation we always over look
our Ladies Auxiliary, and it's
time to give credit where credit
is due. 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.

Central Oregon Commu
nity College's nursing depart
ment is offering an orientation
session at 3 p.m. on Tuesday,
Nov. 13, in Room 160 in the
Boyle Education Center on the
COCC Bend campus.
The purpose of the meet
ings is to review the application
procedure for students inter
ested in applying to COCC's
Associate of Applied Science in
Nursing program and to pro
vide general information.
Currently, COCC's nurs
ing program admits 36 students
each spring to begin fall-term
coursework. The admission
process allows the students to
begin the program as a group,
provide faculty members more
opportunities for student inter
action and offer more continu
ity within the program.

Jeremy's music ...
Continued from Page 1
Being born this early, there
were complications; he was
born with Retina-opothy of
prematurity. 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.)
