Crystal Dee, Hopi Tutuveni
of Public Safety & Emergency Services said
the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
was signed last week between the Hopi Tribe
and the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
As published in the Jan 6, 2015 edition of
the Hopi Tutuveni, the BIA Fire Department
sent a memo to the Hopi Tribe stating they
will no longer respond to structural fires on the
Hopi Reservation unless it’s a BIA facility.
Now that the MOU is signed, Tungovia needs funds to start training and purchase
equipment. He has identified six individuals
who are interested in becoming volunteer firefighters and hopefully get more people interested.
Tungovia is writing up an Executive Order
(EO) for Hopi Chairman Herman G. Honanie
to sign; the EO will allow him to use the Emergency funds for training and equipment.
“We need boots, gloves and helmets so they
can go to training with the BIA in Socorro,
NM,” said Tungovia. “The Northwest fire
agency in Tucson has vehicles for us and I’d
like to inspect them before we receive them,
but I can’t go on travel because I have no funds
for travel in my program.”
Tungovia said he sent a letter to the BIA in
hopes of having Hubert Sekayumptewa of the
BIA Fire Department train the volunteer firefighters and utilize the firehouses in Keams
Canyon and the BIA Wild Land fire station in
Kykotsmovi.
It is not clear how long it took for fire crews
to get to the burning house.
A phone call to the BIA Fire Dept. was made,
but was informed they could not give information on the details of their response to the fire.
The Tutuveni was referred to Superintendent
Wendell Honanie. Honanie was unaware of the
house fire. Information regarding the structural fire was unavailable from the BIA.
By 8:30a.m, the house was still smoldering as King was stacking some yungyap’inpi
(wicker baskets) that hadn’t been damaged.
“We were saving up for my daughter to pay
back for her wedding robes,” said King.
Under some debris was a container filled
with his wife’s wedding clothes and other traditional clothes. Erma was not available for
comment. Family and community members
came together to help King clean up what was
left from the fire.

Hopi Mission School Bruins traveled to Chinle Feb. 5 to play in the Four Corners Small
Schools Championship. The Hopi Mission boys lost to the Lukachukai Eagles, 38-24.
Hopi Mission School Boys Coach Matt Holden said the boys played well, although
the atmosphere was different than it would be playing in their own small gym.
Holden said the high scorer of the night was eighth grader Trent Sehongva. His
defensive leaders were Giovanni Epefanio and Kenan Masayesva. Also, his leading
rebounders were Hasting Lomabalaquihoya and Kenan Masayesva.
“Our team goals were to play with heart, finish strong and play hard till the end,”
he said.
Holden said the team needs to improve on breaking the press, rebounding, finding
their inside game, passing the ball better on offense and cut down on turnovers.
Holden said not all players were academically eligible, so they had to forfeit their
first game. “If they want to be successful, they have to stay away from drugs,” he said.

Tester supports increased in- Wesley Reynolds,Hopi Resource Enforcevestments in Indian education ment Police Officer/

Ranger sworn into
Proposed federal budget makes record investments in Indian Country
duty by Chairman
(U.S. SENATE)—Vice-Chairman of the Senate Indian Affairs Committee Jon Tester today expressed his support for the increased investments in Indian education and Herman Honanie
health care services included in Administration’s proposed budget.
During a committee hearing with Administration officials, Tester welcomed the
budget as an advancement of opportunity for tribes and a positive step forward to
erase the damaging cuts done by sequestration. If enacted, the proposed budget would
make a $1 billion investment in Indian Education through the Bureau of Indian Affairs
and increases the Indian Health Service budget by five percent.
“This budget has increases almost across the board for tribal programs, while also
reining in the deficit,” Tester said, in his statement for the record. “I know some of
my colleagues on the Hill have dismissed this budget as being a wish list from the
Administration. For Indian Country, this is not a wish list. It’s a part of our ongoing
obligation to fulfill the promises we’ve made to tribes.”
Tester also supports increased investments in Indian law enforcement, broadband
access, housing, and Contract Support Costs that are included in the proposed budget.
Earlier this month, Tester contacted Montana Tribal leaders to request their input on
the impact President Obama’s budget will have on Indian Country.
Tester has already helped pass multiple bipartisan bills out of the Senate Indian
Affairs Committee this Congress to improve tribal self-determination, economic development, education, and child protection. ###
From Page 1 HDOT
The Hopi Tribe hired Michael Lomayaktewa of Shungopavi as the
Indian Reservation Roads Manager. Later when HDOT was established
by resolution, he was hired as Director of the HDOT program. Lomayaktewa has 37 years of experience in working with the Bureau of Indian Affairs Division of Transportation working as a Supervisory Civil
Engineering Tech. He was employed with BIA Roads at the Ft. Apache
Agency in Whiteriver, AZ and has worked with other tribes such as
Tohono O’odham, San Carlos Apache, Yavapai Nation and the Hopi
Tribe. He has experience and knowledge in transportation planning,
road maintenance and construction. He has also assisted the Arizona
Department of Transportation with some major projects. He also sits
currently on Northern Arizona Councils of Governments (NACOG) as
a member on NACOG’s Policy Advisory Council. When Lomayaktewa started his new position with the Hopi Tribe, he didn’t have staff or
let alone any equipment to maintain the roadways. The HDOT’s main
office was established and located in Kykotsmovi in the Kykotsmovi
Village Elderly building.
In September 2013, staff were hired for the Road Maintenance crew;
several operators and then in May of 2014 laborers were hired. In 2014,
Lomayaktewa hired an Office Manager.
There are three components within the HDOT program: Administration, Construction and Road Maintenance. The Administration includes the Director; Office Manager Jolette Arrieta; Receptionist Angelica Abeita and a Secretary II currently vacant.
Arrieta began her employment with HDOT on Feb. 10, 2014. She
transferred from Hopi Environmental Protection Office. As the office
manager, she works closely with the Director and the Foreman, oversees the program budget. She is currently assisting with the Hopi Safety Plan to present to HTC. She likes her position as the office manager
because it’s fast paced working environment and on the job learning
related to various transportation issues.
Abeita, moved to Hopi from New Mexico where she worked in the
casino. Her duties consist of answering phone calls for requests that
come through for the heavy equipment operators and laborers.
“It has been an eye opening experience for me since I began working
with the Hopi Tribe,” said Abeita. “Learning the tribal policy and processes has been a challenge.”
The Road Maintenance Program is under the supervision of Foreman, Danny Joseph of Shungopavi. Joseph went to school for heavy
equipment operating. He has worked with the Abandoned Mine Land
Office as a Supervisor and a foreman for the Windmill/Fence Office at
the Hopi Tribe. Currently he supervises a total of eight men working
with construction and maintenance; Marvin Naqua-Hyeoma and Michael Silas, Equipment Operator I; Rick Sosnewa, Equipment Operator
II; Laborers are Zachery Lomatska, Alph Coochytewa, Curtis Poseyesva, Ned Lomawaima and Kevin Pawesiema.
Lomayaktewa said he has a good group of individuals who are accepting of the new program and is very fortunate to have found some
guys with prior experience. Some of the men on the Road Maintenance
crew worked with the Hopi Agency Road Program prior to shutdown.
The Road Maintenance program will have a Secretary I position to
be filled soon along with a, mechanic and heavy equipment operator.
The program is operated out of Keams Canyon BIA Agency Road
Maintenance yard. The program maintains a total of 1,236 miles of
paved and dirt roads on the Hopi Reservation.
They do not cover state highways; the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) is responsible for those roads.
The HDOT road maintenance crew has accomplished a lot since they
were established. Joseph said they have replaced road signs, removed
sand from cattle guards, fence line repairs in the Right of Ways (ROW),
improved dirt roads in the Spider Mound Community and made minor
repairs to roadways that may have been a safety issue.
Joseph said they inventoried roadway signs along Route 2 and need
to purchase over $16,000 worth of signs because they have been vandalized with graffiti.
“There still needs to be a lot done to get the roadways to standard and
safe conditions,” said Joseph.
One of their biggest accomplishments has been the purchasing of
new equipment. Joseph said they began ordering equipment in the fall
of 2013 for the Road Maintenance Program and received the equipment in the fall of last year just in time for the winter.
They have in their inventory: 2 one ton snow plows with two more
snow plows to arrive in March, 2 motor graders, 1 backhoe, 1 sweeper and 1 transport trailer waiting to be released to them by the Hopi
Tribe’s Procurement Office. They are in the process of replacing some
of the BIA Road Maintenance vehicles due to high mileage on the vehicles. They plan to purchase 4 three quarter ton trucks and one ton
service truck.
The program has set many goals to improve the roadways on Hopi.
They are looking at safety concerns on roadways and plant to work
with ADOT on their roadway safety. They also plan on working with
the schools on roadway safety and the Hopi Sinom Transit to an extent.
The Construction Program management is currently recruiting for
a Project Coordinator, but until then Lomayaktewa is overseeing the
program.
A consultant hired by the Tribe did the engineering, design and construction. Once HDOT get qualified staff needed for this program, Lomayaktewa said they will have capability to do the design to construction.

When the HDOT, Road Maintenance program was established, the
program didn’t have the means or tools to do their job. Lomayaktewa
said they had to pursue a Public Law 93-638 contract with BIA Hopi
Agency, for the Roads Maintenance program that was approved in August of last year.
“There was an immediate need for establishing Memorandum of Understand (MOU) put in place with BIA Hopi Agency for equipment
use, but now with the 93-638 contract now established and supersedes
the MOU agreement,” said Lomayaktewa. “We do have an MOU established agreement with Navajo County; with which HDOT can utilize to request for assistance.”
HDOT is now set up and functioning on its own. They have sustainability from the Tribal Transportation Program (TTP) funding for
the Road Maintenance Program and the Tribal Priority Allocation
(TPA) funds from the 93-638 contract with BIA. Grants are available if
HDOT decides to seek additional funds. Lomayaktewa said other funding is available out there which they will pursue in the future. Through
the TTP fund regulations, it allows the Road Maintenance Program to
purchase new equipment identified previous for the program.
“The Hopi Agency road maintenance program funding historically
didn’t have adequate funding for operations; nor for the equipment
maintenance repairs,” said Lomayaktewa.
As for the future of HDOT; although from the beginning some staff
lacked experience, they are quickly learning from experienced staff
and Lomayaktewa has provided some training to the road maintenance
crew. He would like to still provide staff formal road maintenance
training, but said these types of training is far and few and are very
expensive; but is necessary and will in time be met. There is available
on the job training for staff which works to their advantage. One is to
obtain a Commercial Drivers License (CDL), required for HDOT Road
Maintenance positions.
HDOT have become a family and periodic meetings despite their
busy schedules. Lomayaktewa said communication is important. The
program hopes in the near future to have established also a 911 addressing system.
“The Hopi Tribal Transportation Task Team and Tribal Council is to
be commended in having the foresight and in coming together made all
this possible for our Hopi people,” said Lomayaktewa.
HDOT would like to share with the public to know they are here to
provide them with safe and maintained roadways for their use to the
best of their abilities. For more information, contact the HDOT Office

Black Mesa . . . ancestral homelands of the Hopi people
“It’s home to our ancestors and we need to protect it”
Crystal Dee, Hopi Tutuveni
When you hear of the place called Black Mesa you think of Peabody Coal Co. or the
coalmine, but there is more to Black Mesa than just coal; it’s a place that dates back
hundreds of years.
Black Mesa was a “stopping place” for clans on their way to the three mesas according to Leigh Kuwanwisiwma.
Kuwanwisiwma, Director of the Hopi Cultural Preservation Office (CPO) talks about
the history of Black Mesa and wants people to know that it’s a historical landmark.
The area in Black Mesa that Kuwanwisiwma is referring to is called Lököva to Hopi’s and J21 and J21West to the mining company. (J21 and J21West is Hopi area.) This
area is a part of the mining lease that was signed between the Hopi Tribe and Sentry
Royalty Company of Nevada in 1964; approved by the Hopi Tribal Council (HTC)
under resolution H-12-66 on May 16, 1966. Then in 1967, HTC approved resolution
H-26-67 where Sentry Royalty Company assigned all its interest to Peabody Coal
Company. Since then Peabody Coal Co. has been the lessee.
“Of the entire lease areas located in Black Mesa, J21 and J21West have the best coal
with the least sulfur,” said Kuwanwisiwma. “Peabody plans to start moving infrastructure and build roads where they plan on strip mining and this will happen in 2019; by
2021 they will move in heavy equipment.”
In order to save this area from strip mining, Kuwanwisiwma wants to bring awareness to the Hopi people on Lököva and what his office is doing to protect it.
When the lease was signed, there were no laws to protect archeological sites and
Black Mesa had plenty of those as was recorded by Prescott College in 1968.
There was a small window of when the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA)
was established in Oct. 1966 and when the lease was approved by HTC in May 1966.
NHPA was signed into law by Lyndon B. Johnson and it requires federal agencies to
evaluate the impact of all federally funded or permitted projects on historic properties
thru a process called Section 106. (Wikipedia)
The Section 106 Review involves four primary steps: 1 - Initiation of the Section
106 Review; 2 - Identification of Historic Properties; 3 - Assessment of Adverse Effects; and 4 - Resolution of Adverse Effects. Further steps may be required if there is
a disagreement among the consulting parties on adverse effects or the resolution of the
effects. (Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, “Protection Historic Properties: A
Citizen’s Guide to Section 106 Review,” Updated Brochure 2011)
Two years after NHPA was established, HTC granted a permit to Prescott College
under approved resolution H-6-68 to do necessary archaeological and excavation work
for Peabody Coal Company.
Under NHPA law, it’s required they test 10% of the total number of sites they find;
Prescott College recorded
2,500 ruins and tested 250. The tests consisted of learning the pre-history of these
sites that included collecting trash, artifacts, tools, pottery and soil.
“Human remains that were found were sent to the University of Nevada,” said Kuwanwisiwma. “There are a total of 48 that are there and are believed to be Hopi remains.”
The survey ended in 1984 and that was the last known field test that was done at
Black Mesa according to Kuwanwisiwma.
In 1989, Kuwanwisiwma began working for CPO and then in 1990 he began researching Black Mesa area and found there are 300 of the 2,500 archaeological sites
located in the area of Lököva and he plans on protecting the area because Peabody
plans on mining in the area by 2019.
“One of the questions CPO has for the Tribal Council, is the mining lease,” said
Kuwanwisiwma. “Can the resolution be amended to where this area is protected from
mining?”
He knows the Hopi people will want to re-visit the issue and it is up to council to
revisit the resolution and to stop the mining from happening.
He said he has met with Peabody on some of these issues and has told Peabody that
Hopi council passed Ordinance 26 in 1979 that protects burials, shrines and archeological sites and it will be an issue.
There are archaeological sites in the area that is currently being strip mined and are
being bulldozed; there is no protection for these sites. Kuwanwisiwma said when Peabody comes across a burial site, they call their office to let them know and he goes out
there and reburies them.
Kuwanwisiwma said he needs the support of village representatives, clan leaders
and religious societies within the villages to protect these ancestral sites within J21
and J21 West.
CPO is planning on re-doing an archaeological survey in this summer beginning in
June and the Salt River Project (SRP) will fund the survey.
SRP along with the Bureau of Reclamation is a majority owner of Navajo Generating
Station (NGS); Peabody supplies coal to NGS.
Kuwanwisiwma said it’s very important that everyone knows the history of Black
Mesa because archeological resources like ruins and the impact on burials is currently
happening out there.
“People need to know that Black Mesa is their ancestral homelands,” said Kuwanwisiwma. “Clans that came from the north settled there. It’s home to our ancestors and
we need to protect it.”
Hopi Senom Transit holds Public Hearing
Crystal Dee
Hopi Tutuveni
The Hopi Senom Transit held a public hearing on Feb. 25 in the Risk Management
Conference room as part of their FY 2015 Section 5311 Grant Application.
The Public Hearing was to provide an opportunity for interested persons or agencies to be heard with respect to social, economic and environmental aspects of the
program; the public was encouraged to ask questions and make comments during the
hearing.
Donovan Gomez, Transit Administrator said the purpose of the meeting was for
financial assistance that is being sought through the Department of Transportation to
fund the Hopi Senom Transit System.
The program provides funds for public transportation and intercity bus projects
serving rural areas. The section 5311 grants are intended to provide access to employment, education, health care, shopping and recreation. The Hopi Senom Transit has
three fixed routes; Keams Canyon, Winslow and Flagstaff routes that provides access
that is stated in the grant.
Within these routes, the Hopi Senom Transit is responsible for the goals, objectives,
routes, accessibility and the challenges of serving a remote reservation of over 18,000
people and 2,531 sq. miles in northern Arizona.
Per the Hopi Potskwaniat, the Hopi Tribal Consolidated Strategic Plan of 2011,
Hopi Senom Transit’s goal is to provide safe, efficient and adequate transportation and
public road access to and within Hopi lands, to village members, visitors, recreational
users, and others, while contributing to the economic development on Hopi.
The Hopi Senom Transit has established five goals they would like to accomplish
this year:
1. Conduct a feasibility study to develop a five year transit plan by September 2015.
2.
Indentify a site for a transit or transportation facility by September 2015.
3.
Indentify unmet needs by June 2015.
4.
Funds by December 2015.
5.
Marketing of public transportation services for the travelling public by
September 2015.
The Hopi Senom transit currently has promotions they provide every Wednesdays
called, Wacky Wednesday where transit riders pay a one dollar fee for the Keams
Canyon route and two dollars for the Winslow and Flagstaff routes. They also gave
free local transportation on Election Day in hopes of getting people to the voting polls.
They also partner with various state and tribal agencies/programs. The Navajo
Transit System has offered to give the Hopi Senom Transit bus stop shelters.
The Hopi Senom Transit hopes to establish a successful public transportation department that the Hopi public will take advantage of.
Gomez said he has an amazing staff and are essential to the daily operation of the
program. They have operational staff meetings the first Tuesday of every month and
administration staff meetings.
Hopi Senom Staff is Shawn Silas, Transportation Supervisor; Cynthia Secakuku,
Administrative Secretary; James Kuwanvana, Vehicle Operator; William Benally Jr.,
Vehicle Operator; and Donnelly Shamie, Maintenance Tech./Operator.

this important screening program. Fortunately, we were successful which means that
the program will continue to June, 2017.
The CRC program collaborates with Hopi Health Care Center (HHCC) to bring
these important services to Tribal members. Our working relationship is valued and is
one of the reasons the program has been successful. Take home test kits are available
through the Hopi Health Care Center. I work closely with the clients to make sure
they return the Immunological Fecal Occult Blood Test (ifobt) kits that is taken in
the privacy of your home. If you do not understand the take home test kits, feel free
to call our office. I can come to your home to explain it, making sure you understand
and complete the test correctly, its’ easy and simple. I make phone calls, home visits,
and send reminder letters to return the test kit back to the Lab at HHCC, as well as
reminding the clients with abnormal results to get to their follow-up appointments. If
you have no transportation and can’t get to the appointments, we will do our best to
help make arrangements for transportation.
Since program start-up in 2010 through 2014, the Fit @ Fifty Colorectal screening
program has provided 769 take home test kits (ifobt) to clients. Our program and Hopi
Health Care Center would appreciate all the clients receiving the test kits, please return
it back to the Lab. We are aware the test kits are being disseminated by the nursing
staff and providers, but the clients are not bringing them back. I encourage any family
member finding test kits in their homes to help them to complete and return to HHCC.
Another screening for Colon Cancer is Colonoscopy, it is quick (usually less than
30 to 45 minutes). A colonoscopy is a common procedure in which a healthcare
professional, usually a gastroenterologist, examines the entire lining of the large intestine, which includes the colon and rectum. The examination is done to check for
polyps (pronounced pawl-ips), abnormal growths that can grow into cancer, as well
as to diagnose other gastrointestinal problems such as inflammation and bleeding.
Colonoscopy isn’t exactly a glamorous procedure. It may be slightly uncomfortable
and embarrassing, but the fact remains, colonoscopy is the standard for preventing
or catching problems in the colon and rectum. If you have been scheduled to have a
colonoscopy, please keep your appointments and taking an important step in caring
for your health.
The Hopi Cancer Support Services will be planning events for March, all related to
Colon Cancer Awareness Month. On March 4th, we will be on KUYI’s House Calls.
First Friday, March 6th is “National Dress in Blue Day”. We encourage everyone to
wear blue in support of the cancer survivors and those who have passed on. There’s
also a “Box Trot” Benefit Run/Walk scheduled for March 26th. I would like to make
this a fun event by encouraging everyone to design their boxers that they will wear on
Box Trot Day. Also, we are planning to provide educational presentations about Colon
Cancer in two communities in addition to here at our office during the Mammography
clinic for March. Location, dates and times will be announced. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 928-734-1152.

Fellow ranchers it is that time of the year again to get

Misuse of Social Media
by Teenagers
Submitted by: Jere Antone, Bruin Times Staff
Teenagers aren’t civil and well-behaved on social media. The social media
that I use are Facebook, Instagram and
Snapchat. I watch what I put on all of them
because people are so quick to talk about
what you say.
Most students don’t use social media
like they should. Some teenagers overuse
it. The way I use my social media networks is just to communicate with people,
mainly family and friends.
Some teenagers just use social media to
be on there to talk about other teenagers.
From what I see, a lot of teenagers are on
it and we hardly see any “older adults” on
there.
My grandma is always telling me to
watch what I put on there because people
will always think of you as someone bad.
Some teenagers, like those my age, that I
see putting on social media, mainly Facebook are always talking about “drinking”
or “getting high.”
Social media is not for that. Social media is for people to communicate with one
another in a nice way, but most people
don’t use social media for that.
Around the U.S., most social media is
used for cyber bulling, but most teenagers
don’t like that.
The way I see teenagers and older adults
using social media is just to be nosey. Not
all people use social media for that though.
No Texting While Driving Law in Arizona
Submitted by: Tierra Lomabalaquihoya, Bruin Times Staff
It is a shame that Arizona does not have a “no texting while driving law.” Arizona
is one of six states that does not have a law against texting while driving. Cell phone
usage in cars causes over one in four car accidents.
Texting while driving is something I strongly dislike. It amazes me how careless
people can be to text and drive. They are not only putting their lives in danger, but they
are endangering other drivers on the road.
Texting while driving is now the leading cause of U.S. teen deaths. More than 3,000
teens die each year in crashes caused by texting while driving. It’s crazy when you hear
about someone approximately the same age as you has died in an accident because of
them texting while driving.
Studies show drivers are 23 times more likely to be in an accident if they are texting
while driving. It’s sad that people lose their lives because of their or other people’s
carelessness. There may have been a child in a car that was involved in an accident.
That child may have been a doctor, a teacher, a veterinarian, etc. A child not being
able to live their lives out fully is sad.
Texting and driving is something that needs to have a law. There are many people
dying because of it. I think the state legislature needs to put a strict law on texting and
driving. There is currently a proposal to outlaw texting while driving in Arizona. Call
your state Senator or Representative to ask them to support this cause.

On February 21, 2015, Hopi Tobacco Coalition youth attended a one day Leader
Workshop which was held at the Coconino Health Department in Flagstaff which was
provided by the Pima Prevention Partnership (PPP) of Arizona. Due to many of the activities and traditional commitments on Hopi, many of the coalition members were not
able to attend but we were able to have two youth represent Hopi at this workshop. The
two youth were Monica Sahmea and Rainlynn Nash of the Yuwehloo Paki community.
At this workshop, the morning consisted of public speaking and education advocate
training using the triad mechanism and role playing. This gave the youth the opportunity to play different roles such as the educator/advocate for tobacco cessation, the
smoker needing the help, methods, and resources to cessation, and the observer to provide information on areas that were strong in the actor and the areas that would need
improvement to help become better advocates in this campaign.
The afternoon concentrated on CPR training provided by a certified CPR instructor.
This consisted of First Aid 101, recognizing choking and aid, and providing basic CPR
in emergency situations. These are just some of the activities and training that PPP
along with Tobacco Coalition provide at these workshops and trainings to build and
mentor youth to become competent youth leaders, advocates, and community members.
I would like to encourage other youth interested in becoming committed members
of the Hopi Tobacco Coalition and the Hopi/Tewa Youth Council, to contact these organizations so we can produce competent and confident youth who will be leaders for
Hopi someday. Along with the interest and commitment of the youth this also requires
support and encouragement from the parents and community to mentor these youth to
become the leaders, advocates, and to be the best that they can be in today’s society.

Holden said the team prepared by working on fundamentals, practicing hard and
learning how to play together. He said the expectations he has for his players are to
show up to practice, be academically eligible and come prepared to work hard.
Hopi Mission School Principal Thane Epefanio said he was proud of the last two
minutes of the game when the team went from 24 to 14 down. Epefanio said basketball is important to students because it teaches team building and how life works.
“Absolutely. I’ve seen many students that have survived with athletics in their
lives. Athletics is a tool that can be used to enrich students lives,” he said.
Epefanio said he would like to see the teams attend more championships. He also
said they are working on year-round basketball.
“We have a great young coach. An extra year of working and he could bring more
championships to the school,” he said.
Hopi Mission School boys’ player Hasting Lomabalaquihoya said that he did not
play to his potential, that he could’ve pushed harder and that playing in the Wildcat
Den was nerve wracking.
“I feel we played with heart. I feel we worked as a team although it took us awhile
to get our rhythm,” said Trent Sehongva, another Hopi Mission School player.
Sehongva said the team cam improve by having the team practice better, using each
other and working better on offense.
Lomabalaquihoya said the team could improve by working on man-to-man defense, passing, following through on their shots and more rebounding.
Hopi Mission went into the championship finishing seventh out of the 16 schools
from the Four Corners area. Some of the teams were from Utah, New Mexico, Colorado and Arizona.
Hopi Mission was number two in their Nava-Hopi Area Junior League. The Hopi
Mission School also had the two students representing their school in the NHAJL
All- Star Game. The players were Giovanni Epefanio and Hasting Lomabalaquihoya.
Epefanio is in the sixth grade. Lomabalaquihoya is in the eighth grade, currently
holding a 4.0 grade point average.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
February marks a month long focus on Children’s Dental Health. This is a perfect
opportunity for families to increase their awareness of the steps they can take to
ensure the health of their children’s teeth.
A healthy mouth is important for overall health. Poor oral health in childhood can
cause problems with eating, speaking and learning. Cavities can cause children pain
and serious health problems. Each year, more than 51 million school hours are missed
due to dental problems.
“Tooth decay is five times more common in children than asthma. Fortunately, it’s
preventable!” said Wade Kartchner, pediatrician and Navajo County Public Health
Services District Medical Director.
To help ensure healthy mouths, parents need to provide children with healthy food
choices, avoid sugary foods and drinks; schedule a child’s first dental visit by their first
birthday; brush children’s teeth, two years and older, with a smear of fluoride tooth-
paste. Children need adult assistance in brushing until seven or eight years of age.
Additional steps parents can take are: ensure that all family members have a
healthy mouth; avoid sharing spoons and food; ask your dentist about the need for
fluoride treatments as well as dental sealants when your child’s back permanent
teeth first appear.
Children’s Dental Health Month is celebrated nationally. For additional tips and
resources visit these websites from the American Dental Association: www.mouthhealthykids.org or www.mouthhealthy.org
This information provided by the Navajo-Apache-Gila Oral Health Coalition generously funded by the Delta Dental of Arizona Foundation with a mission to improve
the oral health of uninsured and underserved children and families in Arizona. For

VA Primary Telemedicine
Outpatient Clinic
Submitted by:
Eugene Talas, Hopi Veterans Affairs
928.734.3461
Since the February 4, 2015, grand opening of the VA Primary Telemedicine Outpatient Clinic (PTOC) to begin VA health
services for local Veterans in the Hopi
Health Care Center, questions have been
asked by local Veterans. Questions such
as how do I enroll for the VA health care
system? Will VA clinic visits and/or prescribed medications be billed to the Veteran, VA or Indian Health Services (IHS)?
Or what is the VA Choice Card?
These questions and others will be answered by staff from the Rural Health
Program from the Northern Arizona VA
Health Care System in Prescott during a
Veterans Meeting on Thursday, March 12,
2015, at the Hopi Wellness Center, located in the Hopi Veterans Memorial Center. The VA personnel will talk about the
VA PTOC operations at the Hopi Health
Care Center located at Polacca, AZ, the
appointment system and VA health enrollment process. They will answer other questions from Veterans and/or family
members. Two sessions have been scheduled for the meeting to accommodate for
workers and non-workers schedules. Veterans, Family members and the Public can
attend either the 1:30 p.m. session or 6:30
p.m. session. The session times will be
Mountain Standard Time.
We highly encourage Veterans, Family
members and Community leadership to
learn more about the new VA PTOC at the
Hopi Health Care System to better serve
Veterans residing on and near the Hopi
Reservation. For more information about
the meeting you can contact Geno Talas,
at (928) 734-3461 or via e-mail at ETalas@hopi.nsn.us. Thank you.

LETTER TO EDITOR / OPINIONS
grams here to help with diabetes, and different diseases we get in our lives, and that is
great and needful, but a lot of times we get these diseases by simply things like eating
a lot, all the time (gluttony).
Someone I know just went to the hospital at age 50 with a heart attack and had a
form of surgery. He is way overweight, which is what caused the heart attack.
Many times we can control our weight simply by watching how much we eat. Gluttony is eating more then our fair share, and also eating more then our body needs.
When we combine correct diet with correct exercise we live a longer and happier life.
It mentions the glutton in the Bible in Deuteronomy, Proverbs, and Peter, “De 21:20
And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious,
he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. Pr 23:21 For the drunkard
and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags. 1Pe
4:3 For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles,
when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and
abominable idolatries:”
If we can learn some self control, we will take care of ourselves. There is no need
for excess banqueting. It is not wrong to sit down and have a feast every now and then
on a special occasion, but when we do it all the time we will ruin our lives, and our
children’s lives.
The Bible talks about being temperate in all things. That means balanced. If we can
be balanced we can live a healthy and full life. If we can’t it is very possible that we
will die of diseases we never would have gotten.
Gluttony is simply giving the body what it is lusting after. We need to control our
body and our desires and not let it control us! We don’t need a pill or surgery, or some
other expensive new weight loss thing. We just need to exercise some wisdom and
control over our own body, and we can have a better life!

LETTER TO THE EDITOR / OPINION / GUEST COLUMN
To the Members of the Arizona State Senate, House of Representatives, and
the People they serve:
As public school leaders throughout Arizona, we are deeply concerned with the
Executive Budget Proposal put forth by Governor Ducey. For the past six years, in
order to balance the state budget, the majority of Arizona’s classrooms have been
shortchanged by the actions of our elected officials. During this time, classroom
teachers, principals and district leaders have been burdened with ever increasing
requirements that further erode the instructional time and direct services available to
our classrooms. To this end, we ask you to adopt a budget that does not cut funding
to K-12 district schools.
Previous reductions to our budgets have included:
• full day kindergarten - a classroom expense,
• instructional materials funds - a classroom expense,
• failure to fund inflation–which would have helped with classroom expenses.
The Executive Budget Proposal reduces the funding to districts, and the students
they serve, by an estimated $120 per student. For a vast number of districts, the funds
slated to be cut in the Executive Budget Proposal already have been transferred into
paying for “in the classroom” staff and services. Many districts across the state use
these funds to provide the staff and materials for classroom programs, including full
day kindergarten, a critical investment not funded by the legislature. Reducing this
funding is taking money out of the classroom and out of services to students.
Many of the dollars remaining in non-classroom categories are subject to limitations and regulations by funding sources. Other non-classroom funds pay for

services whose fees are fixed, such as utilities and technology licensing. As a result,
reductions in this funding will be reflected in reduced hours or layoffs for essential
staff, such as:
• crossing guards and security staff,
• transportation workers who maintain and drive school buses
• nurses who care for vulnerable students,
• psychologists who work with students with special needs,
• custodians who keep schools clean,
• maintenance workers who keep the classrooms and buildings functional,
and
• office staff and district supervisors, assistant principals and teacher trainers.
While not technically in the classroom, these are vital services utilized by parents,
students and staff members and cuts will directly affect the teaching and learning
environment in our schools.
The well-being of our State and potential of its citizens is threatened by the failure
to adequately invest in the development of ALL our young people. We are sharing
our concerns about the Executive Budget Proposal with our elected representatives
and the communities we serve. The proposed reductions, if enacted, will effect student achievement, student health, and campus security. By any measure, the proposed cuts will have an overall detrimental impact on student success, making the
mission of educating Arizona’s youth even more challenging.
The opinions expressed in this letter represent the views of more than 233 public
school superintendents and leaders listed below. For further information, contact the
