Governor’s Report
Ma gu wam,
We at tribal administration hope that
you and your families are doing well and
continue to keep safe. As a continued
safety practice, let us all keep following
the Stay at Home order, observing curfew,
Social Distancing, hand washing and use
of protective wear as appropriate. As
the State of New Mexico begins to open
businesses, yes many of us want to take
advantage of these openings, but remember
the continued risk of contracting the
COVID-19.
The Governor’s office will begin seeing
community members starting June 1, 2020
by calling 505 869-3111 for an appointment.
All persons entering the Governor’s Office
must wear personal protection equipment.
Other Pueblo of Isleta departments are
currently working on their reopening
plans and we hope to have these in place
by next week. Unfortunately, we are not
able to provide this program information in
time for inclusion in the June newsletter.
We will be sending updates, by notice, in
the informational boxes which are placed
through the reservation. One can always
call the individual programs for update
information. Please see POI directory
within this issue.
A note worthy of mention. We are proud
to announce that 200 Pueblo of Isleta
employees were tested for the COVID-19
virus, all 200 tests were negative readings.
Great results. We encourage voluntary
testing for all Pueblo of Isleta employees.
Saint Augustine Church is also working on
their guidelines for holding mass. There
will be restrictions on the number of people
who can be present in church and everyone
attending must wear personal protection
equipment. This information is hoped
to be completed by the end of May, and
Saint Augustine Church will send notice to
parishioners.
Another item, relative to the church, are
the upcoming feast days. These details are
not complete, however, we hope that mass
can be celebrated and the procession can
be done for the Governor’s Feast which is
usually scheduled towards the end of June.
The Traditional Feast and dances will NOT
be a part of the celebration. Here again,
we hope to have additional information
by next week and will place notices in the
informational boxes around the community.
Typically, summer is the time for
celebrations especially for those who have
accomplished graduation. Congratulations
to our Head Start Students who will
continue on to attend Kindergarten.
Congratulations to our Kindergarten
students who will attend first grade next
school year. Congratulations to our Sixth
Grade Students who have earned their
rights of Passage and will soon attend Jr.
High School. Congratulations to our High
School Graduates who hopefully move on to
attend College or other advanced education.
To our college graduates, may you succeed
in life prepared with the knowledge you
gained and sacrificed for. The very best
in life for your continued success. Parents
and family members – may you also share
in the pride and success of your graduates.
The 2020 Election is upon us and we have
been informed of changes to Early Voting,
Voting processes and Voter Locations.
BERNALILLO COUNTY – Has encouraged
everyone to vote by absentee ballot. Voting
on Election day, June 2, 2020 will be at
Bernalillo County Visitors Center in the
Five Points Area, 6080 Isleta Boulevard,
SW, or Polk Middle School or Rio Grande
High School from 7:00am to 7:00pm.

Election.
VALENCIA COUNTY - Election Day voting
on June 2, 2020 at the Pueblo of Isleta
Veterans Center (in Los Charcos) will be

In closing, my administration and I extend
our condolences to the families who recently
lost their loved ones. Experiencing loss
of a family member or friend is heartfelt.
With restrictions due to the COVID-19,
customary nor traditional burial rites could
not be observed. We wish you strength and
healing.

Native American
communities hit hard by
COVID-19
By Teresa Gomez, Member of the
beWellnm Board of Directors
COVID-19 has hit Native American
communities harder than most. As a
member of Isleta Pueblo, I am deeply
concerned. Currently, the New Mexico
Department of Health’s website reports
that Native Americans account for nearly
50 percent of our state’s COVID-19 cases,
and there is no telling what that number
could be by the time you read this.
To make matters even worse, the Native
population also has the highest uninsured
rate in New Mexico.
As a lifelong advocate for the health and
well-being of Native Americans, I worry
that many of our community members will
not have access to the healthcare they may
need during this pandemic. At BeWellnm,
we want to make sure Native Americans
have appropriate health insurance that
covers the ten essential health benefits
required by the federal government.
No matter what, every Native American in
New Mexico qualifies for health coverage,
either through Medicaid or beWellnm, the
New Mexico Health Insurance Exchange.
Both options are a great complement to
care provided by Indian Health Service.
Depending upon income and family size,
Native Americans may be able to qualify
for Medicaid through the New Mexico
Human Services Department. Generally,
individuals who make $1,468 a month
or less will qualify for Medicaid, but that
amount could be higher based on family
size.
For those who don’t qualify for Medicaid,
there is the opportunity to enroll in a
qualified health plan through beWellnm,
today. Unlike the rest of the population,
Native Americans can enroll in coverage
all year long. Native Americans also have
access to free and low-cost plans and can
visit any in-network doctor throughout the
state.
Furthermore, no one with a health plan
through beWellnm has to worry about
being covered during COVID-19. New
Mexico’s Superintendent of Insurance
issued a rule in March that mandates
any insurance carrier to cover testing and
treatment for COVID-19.
As a cancer survivor, I cannot stress
enough the importance of having health
coverage. I know that if I had not been on
a health insurance plan, when I became
sick, I would not have been able to pay
for the care I needed. I encourage every
uninsured Native American to contact
either Medicaid or beWellnm to find out
which option is best for them. It’s more
important than ever for our communities
to get covered.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR ISLETA
IRRIGATORS
On April 27th, 2020, the US Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) released
the Annual Operating Plan for the Middle Rio Grande Valley. This
plan is based on the Natural Resources Conservation Services runoff
forecast. Some of the variables included in the forecast includes
snowpack, snow/water equivalent, and soil moisture. The winter
snowpack was average throughout the entire state, but due to the
lack of a decent monsoon last summer most of the surface runoff has
been replenishing soil moisture and riverbank storage.
The runoff in the San Juans in Colorado and Sangre de Cristos in
New Mexico is over, with no snow left. The Chama River inflow to
El Vado reservoir is only 36% of average. El Vado reservoir is used
to store Prior and Paramount (P&P) water for the Six Middle Rio
Grande Pueblos (Cochiti, Santo Domingo, San Felipe, Santa Ana,
Sandia, and Isleta). The BOR will store approximately 20,000 acre
feet of P&P water this year and this is expected to be released for
the Tribes in July, August, and September unless there is an above
normal monsoon.
The Pueblo of Isleta Water Resources Department (WRD) will be
working closely with the BOR and Middle Rio Grande Conservancy
District (District) to ensure an adequate water supply is delivered to
the canal headings on Isleta. Deliveries will be regulated closely so
that both Indian and non-Indian farmers have an adequate supply
of water for their crops.
During this very dry year it will be especially important to work with
your mayordomo to schedule irrigation water. Farmers should plan
on taking delivery of water throughout the week days and at night,
especially as we move into the hot summer months. Even when the
Pueblo ditches are flowing at full capacity, everyone irrigating on
the weekend will result in inadequate application of water to the
crop. Farmers must all work together with the mayordomos so that
everyone has a successful year during this time of severe drought.

Masks for the Elders
The Isleta Elder Advisory Committee is making masks for
the Elders of our community. We are asking for donations of
fabric or bandanas and ¼ inch elastic to help with this effort.
Any size fabric and any amount are needed. A basket will
be placed outside the Elder Center and will be emptied daily.
Please drop off donations on the front of the Center (east side).
Thank you very much for your generosity.

Update on Isleta’s 2020
Environmental Fair
This year’s Environmental Fair is
cancelled due to the coronavirus
pandemic.
The one-day event usually scheduled
in July will not happen this year and
we will miss it. Still, environmental
education and outreach can take
place in other ways. Environment
Department is exploring a range of
ideas for environmental education
that can be done on your own or
with your household members, that is, groups of 5 people or
less. Do you have any ideas to share? Would you like a series
of coloring book pages?
Please call the Environment office at 869-7565 or 869-9814
with your suggestions for activities for all ages.

Best ways to clean & disinfect Cloth Masks
Boiling.
This is an easy way to
sanitize your face masks,
let them sit in boiling water
for five minutes, no more
than 10 minutes. There is
a downside, depending
on the cloth of your mask,
a few rounds of boiling
could damage it or affect
breathability. To ensure your
mask remains functional
after boiling, you’ll need to
inspect if closely.
Washing machine.
You can toss your face mask along with all clothes worn outside in
hot water laundry cycle. This is a great way to sanitize them. Using
your detergent will be enough to leave your face masks ready for
another use. Pay special attention to the temperature. Water heated
to 140 degrees Fahrenheit has proven effective at degrading most
viruses. It is recommended to use this temperature for treating
contaminated clothes and fabrics. No matter what your machine
is capable of, you should still continue to wash your mask. Make
sure you load your machine with appropriate amount of soap and
complement it with your laundry booster of choice: Chlorine, colorsafe bleach, or OxiClean.
Hot water and bleach solution.
Soak your face masks for five minutes in a solution of one teaspoon
of bleach for every quart of hot water. You do not need to worry
about the temperature, the bleach is doing the sanitation work.
To make sure you get rid of any leftover bleach, take the mask
out of the solution and rinse it under a tap for 10 to 15 secondsany temperature. After that, soak it in clean water for another five
minutes. You can hang your masks or dry or put them in the dryer
at high temperature. You’ll want to make sure your mask is clear of
bleach when you put it on. Inhaling any residual fumes from it could
damage your airways or worsen any respiratory condition.
Storage is everything.
Sanitizing your mask won’t change a thing if you don’t store it
properly. Once you have a clean mask, put it in a closed plastic
container or a new zip-close bag by itself. If you want to go the
extra mile, write on the bag or stick a note to the container with
details about when you last sanitized the mask and the method
you used. This will prevent cross-contamination and you’ll be able
to tell for sure if the mask is safe to use or not.
Wash Your Hands!
Remember that social (or physical) distancing, washing your
hands, and staying home if you are sick are the best ways to help
slow the spread of coronavirus.
Wearing and using homemade cloth face mask covers is another
way you members can help support our health. As we work together
as a community, we can help prevent the spread of COVID-19.

The Census Office will reopen, June 1, 2020 to
tribal members. To limit face to face interaction
please contact our office at the number at 505869-9766 with any requests, including Tribal
ID’s. However, if it is determined that you should
need to come into the office we will schedule you
for an appointment. If paperwork is requested
from the office we will assist needs through the
window until further notice.
It is recommended that you follow the health
guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control,
when coming to the Census/Tribal Enrollment

Isleta Health Center
CDC Cleaning and Disinfection
Practices
ICAP Sewing Face Masks
May 2020
During this challenging time, it is
wonderful to recognize the efforts
of a few that have volunteered to
ease the burden of so many. The
Isleta Cultural Arts Program of the
Behavioral Health Clinic is grateful
for the help given to sew facemasks
for our community members.
Community volunteers Rafelita
Lucero, Rae Garcia, and Stacy Norvell
joined Eloisa DeWahe and Santana Titla from the Behavioral Health Clinic in an
all-out effort to complete over 500 facemasks for distribution to Tribal members.
These women meet daily at the Isleta Health Center and tirelessly cut, pin, and
sew facemasks. In addition to this, Esther Emond of the Behavioral Health Clinic
has enlisted the help of family members to sew and donate nearly 100 facemasks.
Here are some pictures of a typical “sewing day” at the Isleta Health Center.
CDC has great information available for cleaning
and disinfection practices. The framework is based
on doing the following:
1. Normal routine cleaning with soap and water
will decrease how much of the virus is on surfaces
and objects, which reduces the risk of exposure.
2. Disinfection
using
EPA-approved
disinfectants against COVID-19 can also help
reduce the risk. Frequent disinfection of surfaces
and objects touched by multiple people is
important.
3. When EPA-approved disinfectants external
are not available, alternative disinfectants can be
used (for example, 1/3 cup of bleach added to
1 gallon of water, or 70% alcohol solutions). Do
not mix bleach or other cleaning and disinfection
products together. This can cause fumes that
may be very dangerous to breathe in. Keep all
disinfectants out of the reach of children. Store
and use disinfectants in a responsible and
appropriate manner according to the label. Do
not mix bleach or other cleaning and disinfection
products together–this can cause fumes that
may be very dangerous to breathe in. Keep all
disinfectants out of the reach of children.

Notice that the Pueblo of Isleta Environment Department is reviewing
a request for use of Dredge and Fill Permits and preparing a Tribal
Certification or Denial Pursuant to Section 401 of the Federal Clean Water
Act
The Federal Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 404 authorizes discharges of dredged
or fill material into waters of the United States, including wetlands, and/or work or
structures in navigable waters of the United States. The US Army Corps of Engineers
(Corps) has issued nationwide permits (NWP) for specific types of projects. More
information on nationwide permits is available online at:
http://www.spa.usace.army.mil/Missions/RegulatoryProgram-and-Permits/NWP/
Pursuant to the Federal Clean Water Act Section 401, the Environment Department is
reviewing a request for Tribal water quality certification for use of nationwide permits
within the exterior boundaries of the Pueblo of Isleta. The proposed activity would be
conducted under nationwide permit 12, utility line activities and nationwide permit 33,
temporary construction, access, and dewatering.
Brief summary of the proposed project known
as Western Spirit Transmission Line
•
•
•
•
•
•
Western Spirit Transmission LLC plans to build a new electric
transmission line to bring wind-generated power from central
New Mexico to the Albuquerque area.
Transmission line construction will be on Isleta’s west range.
It is expected that all disturbed areas will be restored to pre-project
conditions following construction.
Floodplain permits are expected to be issued for the project by

Are moths
bugging you?
Environment Department reached out to Amanda
Skidmore, PhD, who is the Extension Integrated
Pest Management Specialist at the Los Lunas
Agricultural Science Center. She provided the
following points of information about moths which
are currently in abundance:
1. The vast majority of the moths we are seeing
right now (mid-May 2020) are not going to be
indoor pests. Mothballs and cedar chips, which
are designed to help control a different species
of moth and indoor pests in small spaces, are
not recommended for helping with the species
that are active right now (mid-May 2020). Be
advised that mothballs can also be dangerous
to children, pets, and wildlife because they often
look like candy, so using them incorrectly can be
very dangerous.
2. The large number of moths everyone is
seeing are called "Miller Moths".
• Miller Moths are frequently seen in the late
spring as they migrate from lower altitudes
to higher altitudes. These moths are making
the news in central New Mexico this year
because weather conditions are perfect for
them right now. We have seen a slightly
more humid spring, which helps to increase
their survival. Over the years, this area
has seen 'outbreaks' of these moths pretty
regularly. As our daily temperatures increase
and the air becomes dryer their numbers
will decrease. The adults are more active at
night because there is higher humidity, and
will be hiding in sheltered areas during the
day. The adults don't bite or sting, but can
be startling or alarming when there are so
many.
• The best advice to keep them out of the
house is to check that there are no holes in
your window and door screens and turn off
outdoor lights that are near entry ways.
• An electric bug zapper placed away from
the house might help to draw moths away,
but will need to be checked regularly since
they can get full quickly.
• If you are cleaning large numbers of dead
moths from in and around the home or from
a vacuum, a dust mask will help to decrease
any irritation that might be created from the
dust created by the moths’ wing scales.
• One good thing about them is that Miller
moths are a great food resource for our bat
populations!
3. Although there is no guarantee, the Los
Lunas Ag Science Center is estimating (as of
mid-May 2020) that it will be 1-2 weeks before
the temperatures will be warm enough that we
will see a massive decrease in current moth
numbers.
4. The best advice is to turn off lights near
entryways and make sure window and door
screens are secured.
5. A helpful article prepared by the Colorado
State University Extension is available online

Antonio “Tuyo” Abeita, 1900
Antonio Abeita was the youngest son of Juan
Rey Abeita. At a young age he attended the
Albuquerque Indian School, then run by
Superintendent William Craeger, a strong
believer in strict assimilation and separation
of students from their families. In 1892 Juan
Rey, concerned that his three sons, Antonio,
Louis, and Vicente, had not been allowed to
leave the school during summer vacations,
tried to visit them himself. Juan Rey was
summarily ejected from the school grounds
and threatened with prison if he ever came
back. With the help of the photographer
and newspaperman Charles Lummis, Juan
Rey hired a lawyer and obtained the release
of his children, along with the thirty-three
other Isletan students. Juan Rey and his
wife were pleased to get their sons back
and to reacquaint themselves with Antonio
(Tuyo), who they barely knew. This was a
life-changing experience for Antonio (Tuyo)
and signaled the beginning of a lifetime
relationship with Lummis who died in 1928.
Antonio (Tuyo) Abeita first started working
for Lummis in 1900. Lummis hired Isletan
youth to work as servants in the Lummis
household and as workers to help in the
construction of his house, called El Alisal.
During his 1902 visit, Lummis returned
three workers only one of whom returned to
L.A., and hired two new ones: Felicita and
Antonio (Tuyo) Abeita. Abeita worked on
the foundations of the house and eventually
ended up managing the kitchen. Although
outwardly obedient and content working
for Lummis, he complained to his friend
Marcelino that working for Lummis was
like being in hell.
After a few years in Los Angeles, Antonio
Abeita returned to Isleta and to the home
of his parents, Juan Rey and Rita. By
September 1902, Tuyo wished to return
to Los Angeles in hopes of finding a more
lucrative job. He wrote to Lummis asking
for assistance, but it was all for naught.
Instead Tuyo decided to apply to Hampton
Institute in Virginia and asked Lummis to
support his application. Lummis complied
even though he had railed against Indian
boarding schools ever since the confrontation
at the Albuquerque Indian School.
Hampton Institute, on the banks of the
Chesapeake Bay in Hampton, Virginia,
had a more relaxed policy of assimilation
than did its successor Carlisle Institute.
Hampton emphasized leadership training
envisioning the return of many students
to their tribal communities. The goal was
to train “pupils to set examples and to
teach their people.” Established in 1875
as a school for African Americans, the
educational program for Indians began in
1878. Initially funded by private donations,
an annual government grant of $167 per
student paid for room, board, and clothing
and was in place by the time Antonio Abeita
attended in the early 1900s. Scholarships
or parents paid the tuition and industrial
training costs.
Antonio Abeita loved Hampton, especially
the program that placed Native American
students with Anglo farming families. In
March 1904 Tuyo wrote Lummis, “I like
this school very much, there are lots of
nice people here,” and in February 1905
he said, “I am getting along very well in
school.” Apparently, Antonio was enrolled
in the academic division at Hampton
whose requirements for admission included
“elementary knowledge of fractions and
decimals.” In addition, “they were expected
to write correct sentences … and to write ‘a
credible letter’.” Indeed, Antonio Abeita’s
letter-writing skills improved markedly
while he was at Hampton. In February
1905 Antonio told Lummis, “I was working
on a farm in Sheffield, Mass. … Mr. and
Mrs. Brown [owners of the farm] are good
friends to me. They often invite me to their
cabin to sing Indian songs.” It seems that
Tuyo was being encouraged, at least during
the summer outings, to practice his culture,
not to deny it.
Antonio Abeita returned to New Mexico
around 1905 and for the next ten years spent
time at Isleta Pueblo and Albuquerque,
moving around and trying different jobs. He
worked at a hardware store in Albuquerque
and kept up a correspondence with his old
employer, Lummis. Lummis sent Antonio
a stream of requests for things such as
amole (yucca root) that was hard to find
in Los Angeles and for rare reptiles for
Lummis's Southwest Museum. In March
1909, Lummis offered to pay Tuyo $5.00 for
sending him a live pichucuate, a poisonous,
slate-colored snake with a copper-colored
belly. Tuyo thought he had found the snake,
but Lummis informed him that it was not
and sent him $2.00 for his trouble.
By February of 1917, Antonio had married
a woman named Eva, and they had an
eight-month-old son named Lummis. He
was working for his father-in-law doing
carpentry work and living in Silver City.
Antonio sent Lummis photos of his tocayo
(person with the same name). Two months
later Antonio was back in Albuquerque
where he eventually settled on a fruit ranch
in Old Town near the San Felipe Church.
He continued working at a hardware store,
but confessed to Lummis that, "pay is so
meager here that it's hard to make ends
meet." Antonio thought he would go back
to Isleta and open a business and perhaps
farm.
In October of 1922 Antonio received a visit
from none other than John Collier, the
future Commissioner of Indian Affairs.
Collier, who became a strong ally to the
pueblos in their fight for reform, carried
a letter of introduction from Lummis.
The letter commended Collier to assist
Isleta and the other pueblos in their fight
against the Bursum Bill, noting "he is on
a great and important errand and every
Indian should help him in every possible
way." Antonio informed Governor Remijo
Lucero who called a meeting of the council
where Collier explained "the danger we
were in should the outrageous Bursum Bill
become law." The council decided to send
a delegation to the general meeting of all
the pueblos at Santo Domingo. This was
the beginning of a long successful campaign
to defeat the Bursum Bill. Though Antonio
helped get it started, it was Pablo Abeita
who, with his letter-writing and trips to
Washington, brought the Anti-Bursum Bill
campaign to a successful conclusion.
Antonio Abeita was conflicted about
whether to get involved in pueblo politics
and asked Lummis for advice. When
Antonio expressed his dislike for politics in
general and for Pablo Abeita in particular,
Lummis told him, "I always taught you to
think of the Cause and not of yourself." The
cause of the advancement of Isleta and the
pueblo people is what mattered. Lummis
went on to say, "I have to work with people
I dislike, they only have to agree with me
on that one matter [the cause]."
In the end, Antonio Abeita chose to enter
pueblo politics, serving as treasurer,
lieutenant governor, and secretary to the
governor. Antonio typed the governors’
letters, and it seems he also helped shape
the policy expressed in those letters. Antonio
often feuded with Pablo Abeita; at one time
when Tuyo served as treasurer, he refused
to sign a check that funded one of Pablo’s
projects. He also became involved in some of
the more contentious cases that came before
Judge Abeita that pitted the conservative
faction against the progressives. As one
Indian Affairs commissioner said regarding
the two, “what one suggests, the other
opposes.”
Antonio Abeita and his wife raised a family
of three boys—Lummis, William, and
Raymond—and three girls—Antoinette,
Evelyn and Gladys. Antonio Abeita was a
good cook, a skill he learned as a boy in Los
Angeles at El Alisal. Tuyo and his brother
Vicente Abeita ran a restaurant next to the
Isleta train depot in a pitched-roof house.
Antonio was the cook. He also cooked for

large groups like the apple-pickers on his
son Lummis’s apple orchard. As did many
Isletans of the period, Antonio Abeita
followed two paths: one as part of the
pueblo, the other in the outside world. His
daughter, Evelyn, married a son of the
well-known Tesuque leader, Martín Vigil.
“Tuyo” at El Alisal, 1900
Again, this month we are requesting
information about silversmithing and
jewelry-making at Isleta. Many of the old
photos in our archives depict women wearing
intricate,stunningly beautiful necklaces. We
would like to know more about how they
were crafted. We would also like to know how
families exchange jewelry with one another
when their children marry. Is anyone still
working with silver? Do you have examples
of silver or other jewelry handed down in
your family? Any information is greatly
appreciated. Thank you!

Pueblo of Isleta Public Library
As circumstances change daily for us, the library staff has been working on ideas to find
creative ways to serve everyone from toddlers, elders and community members. Staff
members are brainstorming on ways to shift popular programs online, sharing information
and resources, and continuing to connect with community members by chat, text, social
media and email. We continue to wish everyone good health and we miss our patrons and
look forward to seeing you soon!
News
As you’re well aware the library has been
closed temporarily to the public as a public
health precaution due to the COVID-19
(coronavirus). Which is part of the larger
effort by state government, as well as the
Tribal Administration to minimize public
exposure.
Currently library staff members have been
working on a plan to open back up with a
tentative date of June 1st. It still remains
difficult to predict how and when those
plans might be implemented. Plans and
phases may change as updated information
about the virus becomes available.
The library will remain closed to the public
and will open in phases as the New Mexico
Department of Health reduces restrictions.
Some things to expect will be continued
social-distancing measures through such
steps as rearranging furniture, cleaning
computers between uses, disinfecting books,
other materials, and the library is also
considering providing special hours for the
elderly. Along with NM State regulations
library staff and patrons are required to
wear a mask or face covering when entering
the library.
The library is also considering a curbside
pickup service that will be implemented in
one of our phases. Patrons can put library
material on hold using our mobile app and
there will be a scheduled time to pick up
or drop off library material. Library staff
members will be set up in front of the
library and will continue to practice social
distancing.
The library is also aware of a great need
in the community for assistance with job
seeking or filing for unemployment. For
that reason, library staff is considering
options to provide those services. Given
social-distancing concerns the library is
looking into setting up computer lab time
by appointment only so that patrons can
come in and work on their resume, online
job searches and unemployment assistance.
Remember even though the library is closed
WIFI is still available from the parking lot.
Signs are posted with information on how
to access our WIFI.
Library Access from Home

provide access to information as much as

Upcoming
The Pueblo of Isleta Public Library’s annual
Summer Reading Program is a beloved
tradition for community members of all
ages. It’s fun, helps kids keep their reading
skills strong and promotes the joy and love
of reading.
That’s why it is so important that we keep
continuing this program. The library's
Summer Reading Program will look a
little different this year. Our hopes are
for everyone to participate in a way that
helps maintain the safety and health of our
community.
This year’s program will be offered primarily
online and will feature virtual events like
DIY crafts, cooking videos, art, learning
activities to try at home and more. We still
want to implement groups with curriculum
as well as our daily reading groups. Groups
will be based on child’s interest and reading
groups will be based on level or age. Staff
members our currently working on ideas on
how to meet up with their groups possibly
using ZOOM or a Social media outlet.
For more information please call the library
at 505-869-9808
Recap

Early Recovery Skills …
What’s Happening?
The Early Recovery Group Skills (ERS) group has
been at a stopping point for the past month and sadly,
to say, I know it has not been easy for individuals
to continue the “One day at a time” for maintaining
sobriety especially during our community crisis.
However, this does not give the excuse to continue
with a relapse with giving in to substance abuse.
Today’s topic is on “Making the Most of Recovery
Strategies”. So, follow along and write your answers
to the questions.
Write your thoughts on how do you stay
sober or drug free during this crisis as you
continue your recovery?
Write about what do you think you should
be doing for your goal of sobriety instead of
giving in to the feeling of relapse?
Write down all the recovery slogans you
know?
You are on your way to gaining control of your life
“One day at a time.” When you write down your
thoughts, you are telling your rational brain that you
can maintain sobriety. Writing down a daily recovery
slogan is a useful reminder to post everywhere in
the home and talk about what that means to you in
reaching your goal “Just for today.”
Then if you suffer from being stuck with boredom
that might allow you permission to think it is okay for
a relapse, “Stop that thought”! You know thinking
this way will only get you to a relapse. Say “Stop
that thought” 3 times out-loud to let your rational
brain take control to prevent a relapse. Renew your
commitment.
The ERS is a 6-week substance abuse prevention
group that provides weekly psycho-education topics
for discussion and recovery assignments to review
for practicing steps towards sobriety. The group
meets weekly to allow participants to share about
their personal struggles in recovery as to receive
support from others for positive feedback.
Please call (505) 869-5475, if you need help with
the response questions to talk to the ERS Group
Facilitator; or as to when the ERS group will be reopening for open invitation to talking with others
about your sobriety goals and recovery steps at
Isleta Behavioral Health Clinic.

DENTAL TIPS
Merel Hancock, Dental Hygienist
Tip 1
Do you experience dry mouth? Wake up at night
from dry mouth and need to drink water?
Saliva plays a big role in digestion and neutralizing
dental plaque.
We can have dry mouth from prescription
medicines we take, or simple from aging, as a
result we develop more cavities or can have
burning sensations on our oral mucosa. Which in
return makes it hard to eat spicy foods.
One product that is most helpful it is called oracoat
xylomelts, you can order them online at:
www.homesteadmarket.com/oracoat
$8.99.
priced
at
You simply place a tablet every night in your cheeks
by your upper molars and it stimulates your saliva
glands. You will get 2-8 hours relieve from this.
This product is a natural sugar from the birch trees,
it is safe to take with your prescriptions.
Tip 2
Did you know that flossing or using toothpicks or
proxybrushes every day reduces many diseases
in the body and increases your lifespan by 5-10
years. It will reduce a chronic gum infection called
periodontitis. In return your heart health will be
better, less chance of strokes and dementia.
Having your teeth cleaned and checked twice a
year is a necessity and we love to help you with
your smile.

Health Beat
Help Slow the Spread of Covid-19: Wear Cloth Face Coverings
Health Educator: Stephanie Barela, BS CHES CSST, 869-4479
The CDC recommends everyone wear a cloth face coverings in
public settings where social distancing is difficult, such as the
grocery store or pharmacy. Not only is this to help reduce the
chances of you getting the virus from someone, but it also is to
keep those who do not know they have the virus from spreading
it to others
2. Fold over the long sides ¼ inch and hem. Then fold the double
layer of fabric over ½ inch along the short sides and stitch down.
Everyone over the age of 2 years should takes these steps to
reduce the spread:
•
•
•
Routinely wash the face coverings in a washing
machine, as a way to protect yourself.
Wash your hands before and after you put on and
take off your face covering.
Be careful to not to touch your eyes, nose or mouth.
How to Wear a Cloth Face Covering
Cloth face coverings should—
•
shape
fit snugly but comfortably against
the side of the face
•
be secured with ties or ear loops
•
include multiple layers of fabric
•
allow
for
breathing
without
restriction
•
be able to be laundered and machine
dried without damage or change to
Since there is a shortage on surgical and N95 masks that are vital
for medical staff to wear, the Isleta Health Center is unable to
provide them to the public. Below are CDC instructions on how
you can make your own face coverings, to do so is simple so let
us all do our part in this voluntary public health measure to help
reduce the spread.
3. Run a 6-inch length of 1/8-inch wide elastic through the wider
hem on each side of the mask. These will be the ear loops. Use
a large needle or a bobby pin to thread it through. Tie the ends
tight.
Don’t have elastic? Use hair ties or elastic headbands. If you only
have string, you can make the ties longer and tie the mask behind
your head.
4. Gently pull on the elastic so that the knots are tucked inside
the hem. Gather the sides of the mask on the elastic and adjust so
the mask fits your face. Then securely stitch the elastic in place to
keep it from slipping
