Time of need
To our family, relatives and
friends,
We would like to take this
opportunity to thank everyone
for their support, prayers, give
away items, food and everything
during our time of need back
in September 2005, when our
sister/mother passed away.
We made it through the holi
days and we had a good New
Years celebration at the
longhouse with family, relatives
and friends, so we know that we
are on the way to healing our
hearts.
It was a such a grand old time
and brought back some great
memories. This is how we be
gin to heal and move on but in
great respect of our loved ones.
We needed that celebration
to prepare ourselves for what is
ahead of us. Thank you Cassie,
Bernice, Sharon, Betty and ev
eryone that was there to bring
in the New Year and on New
Years Day to celebrate a lot of
birthdays and welcome our
grandson, great grandson,
nephew, cousin, Jayce Jefferson
Greene Torres born December
16, 2005. Oh, it was a wonder
ful day. We went home exhausted
but feeling good in our hearts
and minds.
Also, we asked that you con
tinue to pray for our other rela
tives as they are mourning the
loss of a wonderful husband,
grandfather, great grandfather,
brother uncle and friend. Our
grandson, Jake Frank, and his
family needs prayer to comfort
them. And thanks to all of you
wonderful family, relatives and
friends that were there from
start to finish as our prayers and
thoughts are with each and ev
ery one of you. God bless,
Ramona Baez and fam
ily, Sarah Gonzalez and

and
family,

Assistance
for veterans
Do you have any questions
about your veterans benefits?
Tom Weiss, Jefferson County
veterans service officer, will be
helping veterans and their sur
vivors at the Warms Springs
Senior Center, ,2331 High
Lookee, starting this month on
the second Thursday of each
month, between 10 a.m. and 1
p.m.
Veterans have earned certain
benefits as a result of their ser
vice to state and nation. Survi
vors and dependents of veter
ans may also have benefits
available; however, these ben
efits are there for you only if
you apply for them.
Because the laws covering
veterans’ benefits are complex,
you are urged to get help in ap
plying for them. The necessity
for personnel assistance to vet
erans in filing and pursuing
claims results from the legal
principle that NO veterans’ ben
efits are awarded automatically.
The county veterans service
officer provides free benefits
counseling and claims service to
veterans, survivors, and depen
dents. Weiss can help you obtain
all your veterans entitlements.
When it comes to federal
benefits, the VA (U.S. Depart
ment of Veterans Affairs) can
not prosecute claims against it
self. Therefore, the county vet
erans service officer will use
veterans’ service organizations
or the Oregon Department of
Veterans’ Affairs to represent
your claim for you before the
VA.
There is no fee for this ser
vice, and it is a good way to be
certain you receive all the ben
efits you earned.
Your first step is to visit or
call Weiss. Appointments are ap
preciated but not necessary,
553-3313.
