Isleta Pueblo News

Greetings from the

Governor’s Administration

Ma-Gu-Wam.

Lieutenant Max Zuni, Lieutenant Andrew

Teller and I attended many events and

meet daily on issues of business pertaining

to economic development, in hopes of

creating long term good paying jobs for our

community members. Right now we have

the Isleta Resort and Casino which entails

the Isleta Eagle Golf Course, Isleta Lakes,

the Fun Connection and two gas stations.

At this time we have approximately 40

departments with approximately 1,400

employees.

Isleta operates on casino funding grants

and PL 638 contracts. Other business

venues are reviewed carefully by Tribal

Council and Administration. As you may

have heard through the grapevine, that

the Comanche Ranch is shutting down due

to continued revenue loss. The ranch has

been losing a substantial amount of money

from the date of purchase. The question

is – What to do with the Ranch? Isleta

doesn’t own the water or mineral rights to

this property, only the surface rights to the

ranch. There are companies interested on

leasing portions of the property that may

create revenue and jobs for the community

of Isleta. I will keep the community posted

on this matter and what the plans for the

future will bring.

On April 2, 2017, Lieutenants and I had

the pleasure of welcoming a group of 50

youth from Chicago, IL. The youth were

welcomed to the Pueblo of Isleta and the

Saint Augustine Church. The youth all

come from various ethnic groups and travel

throughout the country and internationally

to visit other indigenous people. The

group travel and perform on donations

and perform beautifully.

The group

sang several gospel songs and were later

treated to refreshments at the Old Court

House. The youth were enjoyed by all who

attended the Sunday services. Thanks to

Father George and the Church Committee

for getting involved and inviting such a

talented and wonderful performance.

April 21, 2017, Tribal Council and

Administration were invited for the Ground

Breaking for the Isleta Resort and Casino

renovation, which is estimated to cost 40

million dollars, with an added Bingo Hall

and other needed expansions. The idea

is to attract more people to the casino. In

order for Isleta to generate more money, it

takes money to make money.

As the funding through the State of New

Mexico, Capital Outlay and Federal

Funding dwindles, it is imperative to find

other ways to generate revenue. This is

what Tribal Council and Administration

are working on.

Administration offer our condolences to the

families who recently lost their loved ones.

Our prayers are with you.

Isleta Resort and Casino

Isleta Resort & Casino is entering its second

month of construction, in what is expected

to be an 18 total month project. Beginning

in April, patrons saw traffic and parking

rerouted, as the resort shut down its main

entrance. In order to better accommodate

guests, shuttle service is now available from

the parking lot to a secondary entrance.

“The shuttle service has become such a

valuable amenity for our guests, we now

expect it to continue indefinitely,” said

Isleta Resort & Casino CEO Harold Baugus.

Ground breaking for the resort’s $40

million renovation took place in late April.

The project is expected to be completed

through a series of stages. Phase I includes

a redesigned Porte Cochere, which is

anticipated to be finished late this summer.

Plans also include a renovated Showroom,

increased food and beverage options, as

well as a redesigned casino floor.

Also

promising to enhance the love of bingo in

our community, the resort will build an

entirely new facility, dedicated entirely to

bingo.

May 2017

Isleta Resort & Casino has announced

it will continue to celebrate the ground

breaking of an 18 month long renovation

project, inviting Pueblo of Isleta community

members to a family friendly event at the

Isleta Lakes.

The event will be complete with food and

entertainment for the entire family, though

a date has not yet been announced. The

resort will publish further details in

upcoming editions of the Pueblo of Isleta

Newsletter.

Meanwhile, community leaders, members of

the media, and other community dignitaries

attended a smaller groundbreaking

ceremony on April 21st. The event was

attended by approximately 250 guests, and

included a blessing and welcome speech by

Governor Benavides.

The resort’s $40 million renovation

kicked off in April, and is expected to take

approximately 18 months to complete. It

will feature enhanced food and beverage

options, increased retail space, an expanded

and redesigned casino floor, new Bingo

facility, and much more.

Isleta Newsletter & Classified Ads?!?

The new administration has requested that the Newsletter start a

Classified Ad section for Tribal members selling land, houses, mobile

homes, vehicles, and farm equipment. Leasing of houses and mobile

homes will be accepted. Smaller items which can be sold at the local

flea markets or weekly yard sales will NOT be accepted.

Currently, this service is FREE to Tribal members. Land, houses, and

mobile homes must be within the reservation boundaries. Ads must

meet the 160 character limit. Ads that exceed the 160 characters

will NOT be submitted into the Newsletter. A single picture may be

submitted with the ad. Submitters of classified ads are responsible

for generating their own ads as this is a FREE service.

As a reminder, Tribal business owners may submit a small flyer at no

charge. Like the classified ads, business owners are responsible for

generating their own flyers as this is a FREE service.

Classified ads and business flyers will be posted no more than two

consecutive months. In the event where the Newsletter may exceed

the 24 page limit, classified ads and business flyers will be “bumped”

for newsletter articles. Again, this is a FREE service for Tribal

members.

DEADLINES for classified ads, business flyers, and newsletter

articles can be found in the first paragraph of the “Letter from the

Editor” article.

The Isleta Newsletter is owned and operated by the Pueblo of Isleta.

Therefore, the Governor of the Pueblo of Isleta has the final say of all

articles and contents within the Isleta Newsletter.

For additional questions, you may call the Library and speak with

Nate or Tara at 505.869.9808.

May 2017

Meanwhile…..Back at the Ranch…

Despite reports in social media the Comanche Ranch is still

in business albeit at a reduced capacity. As of now we are

focusing our energies on building new facilities that will make

it easier to perform our work as well as our normal activities

such as cleaning and repairing drinkers, fixing fences, making

sure the water is flowing to the drinkers and storage tanks.

As the grass has greened up significantly we have noticed

the cattle are not eating as much of the mineral supplement

blocks. The cattle are looking a bit rough but that is due to that

fact that is getting warmer and they are losing their winter

coat plus many of the cows either have a new calf by their side

or they are due to calve very soon. Also it is almost time for

their pre-breeding vaccinations as well a dose of dewormer.

We do these vaccinations as a part of our vaccination

schedule that was developed in consultation with Dr. Manny

Encinias, former Beef Specialist at New Mexico State University.

I was recently told that I am not a rancher or a cowboy and that

is very true to a certain extent. Being the manager of your ranch

means I have to be a plumber; veterinarian; mechanic; budget

analyst; secretary; book keeper; range specialist; fence fixer;

marketer; contributor to the monthly newsletter; etc. With all

these tasks to perform I hope that I have not let the community

down during my short time here. None of us is perfect and to

think that we are better than anyone else is egotistical and

audacious and I certainly do not claim to be perfect or to know

everything there is about livestock or anything else. If I have

made any mistakes here it wasn’t due to lack of trying. Even at

my age I still have a lot to learn and I also have a lot to share.

I don’t mind sharing any knowledge I have or any contacts I

have in the livestock industry so if you have a question please

do not hesitate to ask just as I will not hesitate to ask if you

can teach me something. Remember, knowledge and love are 2

of the greatest gifts we have to give……in closing I would like

to wish all the ladies a Happy Mothers Day. Whether you are

a mom, aunt, sister, grandma, you all had a hand is raising us.

I know there are some gentlemen that have to be both dad and

mom as well so hats off to you as well. Also congratulations to

all the graduates!!!

April 24, 2017

Dear Program Director,

Isleta Police Department, along with local law enforcement

agencies and Community Partners are proud to host the

Fourth Annual Camp Triumph Summer Youth Prevention

Program. This is our fourth year in which we have been

working alongside Project Safe Neighborhood and law

enforcement agencies to develop a great camp. Isleta

Police Department will be hosting two camps on June 20 –

23, 2017 and July 18 – 21, 2017.

Camp Triumph is a four day camp in which our youth ages

11-16 have a chance to develop a variety of skills that will

help them to resist the temptation of drug use and gang

activity as a life choice. The participants achieve these

skills by working in small groups that accomplish a variety

of tasks in a collective and fun atmosphere.

We believe the Camp can be the starting point for a

lifetime of positive decisions. We want to empower our

youth to make the right decisions in difficult situations,

and instilling in them a spirit of community action,

civic responsibility and teamwork to build a stronger

community.

We have built in classroom curriculum such as substance

abuse, bullying, gun safety, gangs and some fun outdoor

activities into our program. At the end of the program

each participant will graduate and we hope they use the

tools they were taught to make wise decisions and become

leaders someday.

In order to have continued success with Camp Triumph,

I am requesting for any kind of support such as water,

Gatorade, snacks and food items for the graduation BBQ.

The youth, who were part of the Camp last summer

have greatly benefitted and have prospered since then.

The sense of belonging, their extended friendship, their

increased self-esteem and memories of camp are a few

reflections of how Camp Triumph has made a difference

in his/her life.

POI departments have showed a great support in all the

functions we have presented to our community children

these past years. We hope to have your support this year

again. We look forward to continue in building a stronger

community for our youth for they will be the leaders of our

community in years to come.

Sincerely,

Kathleen B. Lucero, Isleta Police Department

Questions? Call 869-3200

Patient Parking

We understand that at times it seems easier to pull up in

front of the clinic and run in for business that may only take

few minutes. However, we would like to remind all of our

patients and visitors that the area directly in front of the

Health Center is designated for the drop-off and pick-up of

patients only (there is a five minute time limit if dropping

off/picking up).

Otherwise, if you are visiting us for any other reason, such

as to make an appointment or to pick up prescriptions, a

referral, or eye glasses, please use the available parking

spaces for your business at the Health Center. The first two

rows in front of the clinic are reserved for patient parking.

Please help by keeping this area available for the patients

who need it, for our Community Health Representatives and

Behavioral Health Services staff who transport patients to

and from their appointments, and for our EMS personnel, in

the case of an emergency.

Thank you,

Isleta Health Center Safety Committee

They have been working with the students

daily to develop and practice their use of

the Tiwa Language. Students have been

participating in a variety of ways. They

go to the Tiwa Language Room as part of a

“Pull-Out Program” and the teachers visit

in the regular classrooms and specials as

“Inclusion.” The Kindergarten through

Sixth Grade Students have also received

“Coaching,” from our teachers to practice

the Morning Announcements. If you live

near the school campus, you may have

heard our daily greetings and the “Word of

the Day.” The teachers are developing an

elementary curriculum that can hopefully

transition what our community children

are practicing at Head Start.

Kindergarten students are ready for the Egg Hunt!

First Grade students wait patiently for their turn.

Ulysses Abeita & Patricia Jiron, POIES

Tiwa Language Teachers

Students are also learning about the Pueblo

Cultures. This year’s field trip was a visit

to Boca Negra Canyon at the Petroglyph

National Monument. The Kindergarten

through Third Grade Students visited on

April 19th. Park Ranger Dianne Souder

explained how the carvings may have been

made in the basaltic rock, and a hypothesis

about the possible meaning. She shared

with us all, that only the original carvers

really know the answer. Ranger Dianne

also provided a lesson on the history of

the park and the surrounding area. The

students and staff enjoyed hiking to the

top and the picnic lunch following. Fourth

Grade through Sixth Grade Students will

visit on Wednesday, May 3rd. POIES

Students will also have a chance to visit

the Pottery Mounds in June during our

Summer Program. Staff from the Isleta

Culture Committee will be accompanying

the students for this special outing.

Following a great Family Literacy Night

in March, featuring Dr. Seuss, POIES

Families are again invited to join us for our

last Family Night of the school year. On

Wednesday, May 10th, we will be hosting

a “Family Fun and Fitness Night.” The

evening will begin at 5:00 P.M. Coach

Alyssa and POIES Staff will be putting

everyone through the paces in a variety of

“Fitness Activities.” Come join us for the

fun!

Students

completed

the

PARCC

Assessments in April and participated in the

Annual Easter Egg Hunt. All Kindergarten

through Sixth Grade Students will begin

the Spring NWEA (MAPS) Tests in early

May. As the school year is winding down

we have some dates that you might want

to note on your calendars. The Head Start

Students will be visiting the Pueblo of Isleta

Elementary School for a special lunch and

“Field Day, “on May 11th. Field Day for

POIES Students will be on Friday, May

19th. The Sixth Grade Students “Rites of

Passage” will be held on the Tuesday, May

23 at 6:00 P.M. Awards and the End-of-theYear Program is scheduled on May 24th.

Enrollment will begin in early May for the

2017-2018 School Year. Applications will

be sent home with the students currently

enrolled at the Pueblo of Isleta Elementary

School and the Head Start.

The K-3 Field Trip at Boca Negra Canyon at Petroglyph National Monument.

How can injuries to children in

motor vehicles be prevented?

Child safety seats reduce the risk of death in passenger cars by 71% for infants,

and by 54% for toddlers ages 1 to 4 years.

•Know the stages:

• Birth through Age 2 – Rear-facing child safety seat.

For the best possible protection, infants and children should

be kept in a rear-facing child safety seat, in the back seat

buckled with the seat’s harness, until they reach the upper

weight or height limits of their particular seat. The weight

and height limits on rear-facing child safety seats can

accommodate most children through age 2, check the seat’s

owner’s manual for details.

• Between Ages 2-4/Until 40 lbs – Forward-facing child

safety seat. When children outgrow their rear-facing seats

(the weight and height limits on rear-facing car seats can

accommodate most children through age 2) they should ride

in forward-facing child safety seats, in the back seat buckled

with the seat’s harness, until they reach the upper weight

or height limit of their particular seat (usually around age 4

and 40 pounds; many newer seats have higher weight limitscheck the seat’s owner’s manual for details).

www.CDC.gov

• Between Ages 4-8 OR Until 4'9" Tall – Booster

seat. Once children outgrow their forward-facing seats (by

reaching the upper height and weight limits of their seat),

they should ride in belt positioning booster seats. Remember

to keep children in the back seat for the best possible

protection.

• After Age 8 AND/OR 4'9" Tall – Seat belts. Children

should use booster seats until adult seat belts fit them

properly. Seat belts fit properly when the lap belt lays across

the upper thighs (not the stomach) and the shoulder belt

fits across the chest (not the neck). When adult seat belts fit

children properly they can use the adult seat belts without

booster seats. For the best possible protection keep children

in the back seat and use lap-and-shoulder belts.

•

All children younger than 13 years should ride in the

back seat. Airbags can kill young children riding in the front

seat. Never place a rear-facing car seat in the front seat or in

front of an air bag.

•

Place children in the middle of the back seat when

possible, because it is the safest spot in the vehicle.

of $10. Membership is open to any veteran who has

been honorably discharged. We have members from

the Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marine Corps

and Navy.

The estimated veteran population within the Pueblo

of Isleta is estimated at over 350, who have served

in all branches of the military and all wars. POIVA

is working on a list of POI veterans, and the list will

be published in the July Newsletter.

MEMORIAL RUN 2017

PUEBLO CROSSROADS:

Think again!

Cavity Keep Away

Dental health is important for everyone, including pregnant

women and infants.

Did you know you can catch a cavity?

Cavities are made by germs in our mouth that feed

on the sugar we eat.

The germs can pass from person to person through spit.

Keep the mouth germs away and you’ll

keep the cavities away!

Here are a few ideas to keep those cavity causing

germs away.

√ Visit your dentist during pregnancy. Dental treatment is

safe.

√ Wipe baby’s gums twice a day, in the morning and right

before bed.

√ Clean pacifier and bottle with soap and water, not spit.

√ Give only water in the bottle at bedtime.

√ First tooth-> baby gets her own toothbrush.

√ Only use a dab (the size of a grain of rice) of fluoride

toothpaste every time you brush your baby’s teeth.

√ Take baby to dentist before his first birthday.

√ Each family member uses his or her own toothbrush,

spoon, fork and cup.

√ Choose gum or mints that have Xylitol (Zy-lih-tall) in

them.

√ Health foods help keep cavities away.

Think your exposure to secondhand smoke

Even just a small amount of

secondhand smoke can put

you more at risk for

getting lung disease (Cancer).

Researchers from American Journal of Respiratory and

Critical Care Medicine did a study on the genes in cells

from people's airways and found that breathing even a little

cigarette smoke can affect the genes, which in turn can

result in Lung Disease (Cancer). The scientists examined

genes from heavy smokers and those who were exposed to

only a little smoke. They saw the same type of changes in

both, although the amount was less in people who breathed

less smoke.

This is a warning for light smokers or people who

breathe secondhand smoke:

"Don't think that it's not affecting you. Your lung cells know

it. They are behaving abnormally. And for some individuals

who are at risk, they are more susceptible for developing

lung disease", warns researcher Ronald Crystal.

On April 19th the Library had a Pokémon

party for all our Pokémon Library Go

Reading incentive participants. Students

who read for 20 minutes earned a Pokémon

and were able to donate to a “pool” where

they could earn a Pokémon themed party.

The students were able to talk each other

into donating Pokémon which ultimately

earned them the party. The Library

provided pizza from Dion’s which included a

pizza designed as a poke ball with pepperoni

and olive toppings. They washed the pizza

down with sparkling flavored drinks which

resembled the potions used to power up

Pokémon on the Pokémon Go game. We

played bingo, a Pokémon silhouette game

and “hatched” Pokémon eggs. The students

had a great time and enjoyed the Pokémon

prizes and decorations.

“April Showers bring May Flowers to JOM!”

The countdown is HERE! Standardized testing is almost complete

and graduations are right around the corner.

Just like our students, the JOM staff continues to be a busy and

productive! Our program goal is to make learning a priority by

engaging students and parents in fun filled activity nights and

experiential learning opportunities. We are currently working on

our curriculum for our six-week Summer Bridge program, getting

ready for back-to-school supply distribution and many other

activities. The JOM staff has attended various meetings with the

New Mexico Indian Education Division pertaining to the welfare

of our children’s education. By attending these meetings it allows

us to familiarize ourselves with the new changes in law increasing

our awareness to better serve our community.

The Pueblo of Isleta Department of Education along-side of the

New Mexico Public Education Department – Indian Education

Division is exploring new opportunities for building communication

and collaboration between our education programs and Los Lunas

Public Schools. Moving forward Local Educational Agencies

aka Public School Districts/Educational Institutions will be

held accountable by engaging in meaningful consultations and

providing Native American students equal access to resources

and services that support their educational needs. Parents you

also have a voice in all this! If a District receives Title VI funding,

districts are required to have an Indian Education committee per

Indian Policy and Procedures. As an advisory committee, you have

every right to make recommendations on the budget, give input on

services you want provided for your children and ask how the local

school district will implement those services. As we understand all

the new changes happening, we can greatly improve our ability to

advocate and support our children and the future of their education.

Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) which replaced No Child

Left Behind (NCLB) is a Federal Regulation that places firm

accountability rules directly on states and school districts to work

closely with Tribal entities, disclose funding received, funding

allocated, services provided and engage in meaningful dialogue

regarding programs and services to support the Native American

student. Each Local Education Agency (LEA) must engage in

timely and meaningful consultation with tribes when developing

their annual plans. If the Districts don’t, they could delay receiving

federal aid through programs such as Title I – Title VI for schools

that serve low-income families. Raising the next generation is a

shared responsibility. When families, communities and schools

work together, students are more successful and the entire

community benefits.

The activities JOM hosts allows students to express their creative

spirit and I don’t get this: parents their passion and dedication

to family. As we think back over the past few weeks in April,

the list of activities and events would include our Easter family

Activity night and Friday Fractals! The students of our community

represent who we are in the best ways possible by their respectful

manners and focused engagement when participating in JOM

activities and other community program events. Student’s

success is also demonstrated through their commitment when

participating in school events such as sports, science fair and other

extra-curricular activities. The students of the Pueblo of Isleta are

fortunate to have so many opportunities here at JOM.

Activity & Event Highlights:

Friday Night Fractals April 7, 2017

This once a month experience was a first for most! First Friday Night Fractals was a greatlearning experience for these group of

students. Students learned how fractals are created and how long it takes to create a fractal!

A fractal is a geometric pattern that is repeated at small or larger scales to produce irregular

shapes and surfaces. Fractals are geometric shapes or forms that are represented in natural

objects, from a fern leaf or tree, to a spider web or snowflake, to larger phenomena such as

clouds, hurricanes, or even galaxies in space. Fractals can be created using math equations

from simple geometry or trigonometry.

Easter Eggstravaganza April 5, 2017

May 2017

Isleta Pueblo News

Page 17

Our annual Easter Eggstravaganza was once again a hit! This year

we were able to enjoy the evening without all the wind! Parents and

students enjoyed time outside with gunny sack races and pass the

egg races. Along with the outdoor games families were able to create

their own arts & craft to take home.

What an enormous amount of information! We are grateful for all you

do to nurture and guide your children during their school years. That,

of course, includes you as parents, guardians, family members and

all of us who support and encourage them every step of the way. It

is the partnership between home, school and tribal programs that is

at the foundation of the successes and achievements of our students,

your children and we are committed to enhancing that partnership in

every way we can. We look forward to working with you as we continue to make possible these wonderful activities and accomplishments

during the rest of the school year.

Child Safety Seat Clinics are free and open to the public and are

provided twice a year for parents and guardians. However, issuance of

child safety seats is not guaranteed. These are state sponsored events

with guidelines on when a seat may be provided to an attendee. If a

replacement is deemed necessary, it may be replaced dependent on

the availability of seats. These clinics also provide you, the parent/

guardian, with education on proper child car seat installation and can

answer any questions you may have about child car seat safety. Trained

car seat technicians can also help to identify car seats that may be on

a manufacturer recall and can help determine if your child’s seat has

expired. Keep in mind that when you attend a child safety seat clinic

you must arrive in a vehicle with all children secure in car safety seats;

furthermore, you should have your vehicle’s Operator’s Manual on hand.

The Isleta Health Center has two certified Child Passenger Safety

Technicians on staff. You can call at any time if you have any questions

or concerns about child safety car seats. Our next car seat clinic is

Saturday, May 6th in the Isleta Health Center parking lot starting at

9:00am to ending promptly at 11:00am. As a way to keep track of the

people we see that are from Isleta, we are asking you to please bring your

Tribal ID. There will be low cost replacement seats available for $20,

if your child’s child safety seat is determined expired or inappropriate

for your child, then you may need to switch out child safety seats. As

always, we encourage you to buckle up yourself and your child every

time you travel in your vehicle, even if you’re ‘just going down the street.’

PUBLIC SERVICES DEPARTMENT

UTILITIES DIVISION

The Utilities Division of the Public Services

Department is flushing the water main

lines here on the Pueblo of Isleta as time

allows.

The Utilities Division flushes the main

lines to help remove any sand or other

material that has settled out in the main

lines.

Flushing dead-end water lines

helps to eliminate stagnant water and

removes sand. We are also flow testing and

color coding fire hydrants to help the fire

department visualize which hydrant is best

to use in the event of an emergency.

When flushing the water from a hydrant,

flow through the area it is increased,

“pulling” any sand or other material off the

bottom of the main line pipe and flushing it

out through the hydrant. Flushing is an

important part of keeping your drinking

water supply fresh and safe for consumption.

It may appear that we are wasting our

precious water when we flush the main

lines but it is the best way to remove any

potential sources of contamination that

may or may not be in the main lines.

Sometimes residents complain about “dirty”

water or even “black” water when flushing

is occurring near their residences. When

flushing the main lines old water, sand or

manganese (black in color) can get pulled

into the service lines of homeowners if they

are utilizing the water at the same time

flushing is happening in the area.

The

quickest remedy is for the homeowner to

open any outside water fixtures (frost free,

spigot) to purge out the dirty water. This

keeps the water from entering the home

plumbing system. If dirty water does enter

the house piping, remove the aerator screen

from the sink faucet(s) and allow the water

to run until the dirty water is no longer

an issue. The best place for this to be done

would be at the bathtub. Clean the aerator

screen and replace it on the faucet when

done. Check all the plumbing fixtures

(shower heads, washer hoses) in the home,

cleaning the screens as needed.

The Utilities Division would also like to

congratulate Patricia Binnert. Patricia was

nominated and received the Wastewater

Operator of the Year, Large Systems, from

the New Mexico Rural Water Association.

Patricia is our lead operator here and

assists with training operators, upcoming

projects, sampling plans, sampling and

records. Patricia goes above and beyond to

keep the water and wastewater operations

running.

We would also like to recognize our crew

who take care of our wastewater treatment

plants, the lagoons, lift stations, pumps,

motors, all our well houses, water storage

tanks, water leaks, sewer backups and

whatever else comes our way.

Our

Water and Wastewater Operators are

Patricia Binnert, Walter Watkins, Carlos

Candelaria, Anthony Keryte, Augie

Lucero, Nathan Lente, Jeremy Abeita,

Andrew Lente, Kevin Jojola and Jolene

Jiron, apprentice.

Our electrician is

David Chavez who does electrical work

not only for our department but Pueblowide when called upon. Our force account

crew is Phillip Jiron, Supervisor and Brian

Jaramillo who take care of septic systems,

both new and replacements.

Division

Manager is Edwin Jaramillo, Operations

May Water Outlook for the 2017 Irrigation Season

The Middle Rio Grande Conservancy District (District) provides

irrigation water to the Six Middle Rio Grande Pueblos and nonIndian farmers from Cochiti to Bosque del Apache National

Wildlife Refuge. The water is stored in El Vado Reservoir in

northern New Mexico near Chama. As of April 1, 2017 the Bureau

of Reclamation has stored 14,687 ac/ft. of P&P water for use by

the Six Middle Rio Grande Pueblos.

This winter’s snowpack is the greatest since 2005. The April

runoff forecast of 2017 for New Mexico’s rivers continued to

improve. Flow on the Rio Grande at the Otowi gage, upstream of

Cochiti reservoir is projected at 133% percent of the 1981-2010

average according to federal forecasters at the Natural Resources

Conservation Service. The forecast for the rest of the summer

calls for average rainfall and average temperatures.

There may be up to 5000 cfs in the Rio Grande on Isleta Pueblo

for several weeks in late April through the entire month of May.

These flows will inundate the floodplain on Isleta and may cause

problems with the levees at some locations. Isleta Water Resources

and Natural Resources staff will be monitoring the high flows and

notifying the MRGCD and US Army Corps of Engineers of any

problems with the levees.

The Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Bureau of Reclamation

have stored Prior and Paramount water in El Vado during the

spring runoff for the Six Middle Rio Grande Pueblos. After the

first of July, Prior and Paramount water will be released from

El Vado for use by the Six Middle Rio Grande Pueblos only. The

water may be released in large blocks to reduce carriage losses to

the river system.

Irrigation diversions for the Six Middle Rio Grande Pueblos will

be dependent on the Natural Flow in the Rio Grande and releases

of Prior and Paramount (P&P) water stored in El Vado for use by

the Six Middle Rio Grande Pueblos only. Releases of P&P water

will be used to supplement the Natural Flow in the Rio Grande.

Releases of P&P water may begin in July depending on monsoon

inflows to the Rio Grande.

The Water Resource Department will continue to work with the

Bureau of Reclamation, Bureau of Indian Affairs, and the MRGCD

to ensure adequate deliveries to the Acequia Madre, Cacique, and

Chical canals.

Scheduling of water deliveries with the Isleta Mayordomos will

be required. Please work with your Mayordomos to make sure

everyone receives adequate water in a timely manner. This will

require watering when the water is available, including watering

at night and during the week. Farmers are urged to cooperate

with their Mayordomos and fellow farmers and use the irrigation

water supply wisely.

Please contact Jessica Tracy, Water Resources Director, 869-5564

or Cody B. Walker, Water Protection Specialist, 869-9623 or 2204595 with any questions regarding this information.

E-Cigarettes: Things Everyone

Should Know

Stephanie Barela, Isleta Health Educator, 869-4479

From JourneyWorks Publishing

Nicotine in E-Cigarettes is Addictive

• Most e-cigarettes have nicotine, just like regular

cigarettes and other tobacco products. Nicotine is very

addictive. Once you start, it is very hard to stop.

Nicotine Poisoning Risk

• Nicotine is a poison that can KILL.

• There are no rules for safety labels or child

proofing on e-cigarettes or the liquid refill packs,

which can really put children and pets at risk.

Chemicals in E-Cigarettes Can Harm Your

Health

• Some e-cigarette liquids have toxins such as

antifreeze and other chemicals that may cause cancer.

E-Cigarettes are Not Regulated

• Studies have shown nicotine is in some e-cigarettes

that claim to be nicotine-free. People who buy them do

not know what they are really getting.

Health Effects are Not Known

• E-cigarettes are very new. No one really knows

how harmful they are.

• Long term studies on the health effects have not

been done.

• There is no proof that the vapor is safe for

the people smoking, or for those who breathe the

secondhand vapor.

• E-cigarettes contain nicotine, which changes your

heart rate and raises your blood pressure.

Can E-Cigarettes Help you Quit Smoking?

• People who sell e-cigarettes claim they can help a

person stop smoking, but there is no proof this is true.

• In fact, some studies suggest they may keep

smokers hooked.

• They may also cause people who have quit

smoking to start again.

• E-Cigarettes are not regulated, so no one really

knows if they are a safe quitting aid.

• Nicotine is NOT harmless.

• Studies show it may increase problems with

diabetes.

• Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) has been

proven to help people stop smoking. NRT includes

nicotine patches, inhaler, nasal spray, lozenges and

gum.

You may be eligible to receive nicotine

replacement therapy from the Isleta Health

Center Pharmacy if you attend the Freedom

from Smoking sessions.

To learn more the Isleta Health Center’s Freedom From

Smoking and Thinking About Quitting programs, contact

Stephanie Barela at 869-4479.

Family of Michael Paquin

The family of Michael Paquin wish to

express our sincere gratitude to our family,

friends, and the Isleta community for your

support and prayers during the time of our

loss.

Michael Paquin was born to Daisy and

Alvin Paquin on December 19, 1966 in

Albuquerque, New Mexico. He was raised

in the Isleta Pueblo and attended both the

Isleta Head Start and Elementary schools.

He graduated from Los Lunas High

School and continued his education in

Jacksonville, Florida; Central New Mexico

Community College; and the University

of New Mexico to prepare himself to enter

the Business Field of Landscaping. He

was employed by Heads Up and other

Landscaping companies until he started

his business, Landscape Technologies,

Inc. Design and Construction. He cared

very deeply for the Isleta community and

was very proud to be the local construction

serving the Pueblo of Isleta, Isleta Resort

and Casino, and Isleta Head Start School.

He served his community as Mayordomo and as Chairman on the Board of

Directors for the Isleta Business Corporation. He was a kind, caring, generous,

and happy person. He liked to joke around with everyone. He was a jack of all

trades and could do anything once he put his mind to it. He loved to travel and

be outdoors.

Our Thanks to You!

The family of Nana Bathu (Marie L.

Zuni) would like to express our sincerest

appreciation to our Uncle Albert, Auntie

Isabel, cousins, relatives, friends, Tribal

prayers and with generous support during

the loss of our mother, Chee-ee Bathu.

Thank you to Father George for your care,

and thank you to Lorraine Padilla and

Frances Abeita for leading the Rosary,

which Nana Bathu recited every day. She

was a beautiful and wonderful person.

Through the memories that she gave each

of us, she will live on forever in our hearts.

Nana Bathu will be missed tremendously

by her children (Lorraine and Michael,

Max, Margaret, Richard, Branda) 17

grandchildren, 34 great-grandchildren,

and one great-great grandson on the way. There are no words that can express

our appreciation for those who gave generous support during the loss of our

beloved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, Nana Bathu. Our family

will pray to our Heavenly Father to keep you safe and protect your families.

Thank you again.

Ministry of Consolation

The family of Nana Lugarda Jojola want to express our heartfelt appreciation

and gratitude for all the help and love during our time of loss. Your kind words,

hugs, shared memories of her and true compassion during our time of grief

helped make it easier to get through, and we truly thank you.

Nana Lou loved her friends, family and community. Before God came to take

her home, he gave us the priceless gift of time to spend with her. She left this

world knowing that she was loved, respected and appreciated by of all those

who stopped to visit to show their compassion by laughing and praying with her

which lifted her spirits. Nana Lou was one of a kind, a true treasure and her

contagious smile, silly little ways and unconditional love will be missed by all

who loved and knew her. Especially by her two sons, three granddaughters and

six great grandchildren for whom her love was endless and now eternal.

On behalf of the entire family of Nana Lou, we pray that your life’s path be lit by

the light of God’s smile, that you have wisdom, strength, good health, love, peace

and joy in everything you do.

Thank you again……..We Love You All

SUBSTANCE ABUSE EDUCATION

Call IBHS at 505-869-5475 for information or

schedule an assessment.

The

Isleta

Behavioral

Health Services (IBHS)

provides a structured and

consecutive

three-hour

education,

counseling,

and

support

program

every Monday and Friday

throughout the year:

Early

Recovery

(ERS): 9am - 10am

Skills

ERS group provides open

discussions on addiction

topics to help individuals

learn recovery skills for

relapse prevention. We

provide participants with

a curriculum and the

facilitator makes every

effort to ensure everyone feels comfortable

and relaxed to share openly by using different

teaching styles (e.g., drawings, educational

videos, storytelling, and homework assignments

presented during group sessions).

Another Recovery Technique (ART):

11am

10am -

This particular ART group, geared towards

substance abuse recovery, helps to provide a

creative outlet to clients using different art

mediums such as paint and clay sculpting. Clients

can create items such as fetish bears, dream

catchers, wellness ladders, and medicine wheels.

They play a medicine wheel discovery game and

practice affirmation writing for positive thinking.

Further, it is an outlet to manage feelings for

increased well-being. Participants may find that

they have known these skills from their cultural

experience but have drifted away from their time

management to cultivate the skills.

IBHS also offers 8-week ART groups four times a

year (Fridays from 1:00pm to 3:00pm). This group,

hosted by different IBHS facilitators with an

artistic flair, teaches clients painting and basket

making using art designs from cultural pottery

patterns with art mediums including color pencils

and markers. They also dabble in jewelry creation,

making necklaces, key chains and key rings.

Polymer clay sculpting of storytellers, corn maidens

and other figures is a highlight as well. The client

can include a personal mission statement with any

of their crafts to help them towards their recovery.

Alcoholic Anonymous (AA): 11am - 12pm

(Alcoholic

Anonymous)

meeting

immediately follows the Early Recovery Skills

and ART Group. Here, participants share their

experiences, strength, and hopes towards their

recovery. They are also encouraged to find a

sponsor by attending outside community AA

meetings for relapse prevention. Information on

other AA meetings outside the Pueblo of Isleta can

be found by calling (505) 266-2177. IBHS does not

provide transportation to outside AA meetings.

• IBHS offers another AA evening group

weekly on Thursdays at 6:00pm at the Health

Training Center (IBHS transportation is

provided).

We expect all group members to practice

confidentiality and to abstain from any mood

altering substance to participate. Finally, we also

encourage laughter, a healing medicine, in all our

groups.

Seasonal allergies (hay fever)

Allergies are an abnormal response of the immune

system. People who have allergies have an immune

system that reacts to a usually harmless substance in the

environment. This substance (pollen, mold, and animal

dander, for example) is called an allergen.

Allergies are a very common problem, affecting at least

two out of every 10 Americans

Spring time brings budding trees, green grass, and of

course, weeds.

With seasonal allergies, also called hay fever and allergic

rhinitis, there are some strategies you can try to keep

some of your symptoms under control. Bothersome

symptoms include sneezing, congestion, runny nose

and itchy eyes.

Try to reduce your exposure to the things that trigger

your allergy symptoms.

Stay indoors on windy days.

If possible delegate lawn mowing and weed pulling.

Remove the clothing you have worn outside and shower

to rinse the pollen form your skin and hair.

Don’t hang laundry outside. Pollen can stick to sheets

and towels.

Wear a pollen mask if you do outside chores.

Take extra steps when pollen counts are high

Check your local TV, newspaper or internet for current

pollen counts and forecasts.

Close windows and doors at night or any other time

when pollen counts are high.

Avoid outdoor activities in the early morning when the

pollen counts are highest.

If high pollen counts are forecasted start taking your

allergy medication before your symptoms start.
