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.

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.

Opportunity for Public Comment

June 1, 2020

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

Bernalillo County and Valencia County. Floodplain permits

from other counties are not required.

Potential for adverse effects on cultural resources is not expected

The project has been designed to avoid and minimize impacts to

wetlands and other water bodies to the extent practicable

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

While we are closed we will continue to

provide access to information as much as

possible through our online services. If

leader a minimum of twice a week maybe

more. Interactions will include reading,

discussion, activities, crafts and more.

Below is a list of the digital services the

library has to offer.

Registration will be broken down into two

parts. Starting June 8th through the 11th

summer reading program. Finally after

the live feed we will contact the parents by

phone and let them know that their child

was selected for a spot in the Summer

Reading Program.

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

Library staff members are currently

preparing the library to open back up.

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

Quick Cut T-shirt Face Covering (no sew method)

Materials

• T-shirt

• Scissors

Sewn Cloth Face Covering instructions:

Bandana Face Covering (no sew method)

Materials

Materials

• Bandana (or square cotton cloth approximately 20”x20”)

• Two 10”x 6” rectangles of cotton fabric

• Rubber bands (or hair ties)

• Two 6” pieces of elastic (or rubber bands, string, cloth

strips, or hair ties)

• Scissors (if you are cutting your own cloth)

Tutorial

Cut out two 10-by-6-inch rectangles of cotton fabric. Use tightly

woven cotton, such as quilting fabric or cotton sheets. T-shirt

fabric will work in a pinch. Stack the two rectangles; you will sew

the mask as if it was a single piece of fabric.
