We hope everyone has been staying safe and in good health. To begin, we are still seeing COVID-19 cases here within the Pueblo. Our numbers have ranged from 10 to 22 in the last month. As of this writing, we have 12 total positive cases here within the Pueblo. Of the 12 positive cases, 11 of those are Pueblo of Isleta Tribal Members. At this time, 9 households are being monitored. There are no hospitalizations or deaths. The COVID mitigation team highly recommends wearing mask when appropriate. We have made some great strides within the Pueblo and all of you have been making a difference in the fight against the COVID pandemic. We have made some changes to the Public Health Order. Please review the changes and if there are any questions, please feel free to call the COVID Line or the Governor’s Office. Mask Mandates are still in place for the Isleta Elementary School, Isleta Head Start, Isleta Recreation Centers, Isleta Elder Center and Assisted Living Facility, Isleta Tribal Court, and the St. Augustine Church. If you are feeling symptoms of COVID-19, please call the COVID number (505) 869-9720 for assistance. The COVID team has approved the use of opening the Chical Hall on Tribal Road 2 and the Old Court house to be rented for events. The rental of the building will be scheduled accordingly and to availability. Please call the treasury department for reservations and payments. On Wednesday June 1, 2022, Tribal Administration along with President and Vice President of the Tribal Council attended the Tribal Leaders Summit hosted by the New Mexico Indian Affairs Department. Cabinet Secretary Lynn Trujillo (Sandia Pueblo) moderated the event. On the first day of the summit, Tribal leaders from across the state along with each Cabinet Secretary and staff were given a history of the relationship between the state of New Mexico and Tribal Entities and the key Indian laws and Policies that have been developed. The main goal of the Summit is to provide guidance towards collaboration and communication, which is spelled out in the State-Tribal Collaboration Act (STCA). The STCA general goals are to provide positive government-to-government relations, effective communications and cultural competency of the State of New Mexico departments. The communication and collaboration between the State of NM and Tribal Entities should occur when the development and implementation of policies, agreements, and programs directly affect Native Americans or Alaska Natives. Some State activities that require STCA adherence are Healthcare services and programs, Education program development and Child protective services to name a few. In addition, Tribal Leaders were able to provide State of the Nation addresses of their respective Pueblos, Tribes, and nations. Many Tribal leaders thanked Governor Lujan-Grisham for her continued support July 2022 Page 2 Isleta Pueblo News July 2022 of Tribes. They also addressed concerns that they have within their communities. I thanked Governor Lujan-Grisham for her continued support to Isleta Pueblo with funding of infrastructure projects. I also addressed our concerns with Children Youth and Families Department (CYFD) and jurisdictional issues we are facing. Overall, the summit was very informative and we had a good response from Cabinet Secretary Barbara Vigil about our concerns. We look forward to continued collaboration with the various Cabinet Secretaries and their staff. We have been blessed with the rain in the past few weeks and grateful to the creator for hearing our prayers. Although we have had rainfall, we are still concerned of the conditions of the East and West rangelands. Most of the rangeland is in poor condition and with over-grazing and minimal rainfall, we are asking permittees to be cognizant of the conditions and consider bringing their cattle home. The conditions may warrant a mandatory removal of all cattle from the rangeland. If the decision is made to remove cattle from the East and West rangeland permittees will be notified. Moving forward, a full assessment of the rangeland will also be completed to assure proper management of the rangeland resources. At this time, the Middle Rio Grande Conservancy District has run out of its San Juan Chama irrigation supply. There will still be a full supply for the P&P lands but not for the entire District. Scheduling and rotation for P&P lands began on June 12, as there will not be enough native flow available to divert from the river to fill all the ditches serving P&P lands. It is a 10-day rotation, and is divided by District Division. The amount delivered to each division is based on how many P&P acres are in that division. The Cochiti Division has about half the P&P lands, so that division gets a full supply for half the time, or 5 out of 10 days. The Cochiti Division then gets a partial supply for 5 out of the 10 days, including some of the small capacity but long earthen Pueblo ditches as discussed on the schedule. The Albuquerque Division has about 30% of the P&P lands, with half of that at Sandia and Santa Ana, and half at the northwest side of Isleta. The Albuquerque Division gets a full supply for 3 days out of 10, with 1-1/2 days going to Sandia and Santa Ana and 1-1/2 days going to Isleta’s northwest side. The Albuquerque Division gets a partial supply for 7 out of the 10 days. The Belen Division, which includes Isleta’s east side and part of Isleta’s southwest side, is about 20% of the P&P lands, so they get a full supply for 2 out of 10 days and a partial supply for 8 out of 10 days. The BIA and District work together to deliver the required amount of water to the Pueblos, but it is the responsibility of each Pueblo to administer the water internally within each Pueblo. The attached schedule draft schedule covers the period of July 3 – 23. This and updated schedules will be posted on the Isleta Facebook page. However, the District will divert to some non-P&P lands after the P&P demand has been fully satisfied, so the District will not have to shut down non-P&P lands from irrigating at that time, even though the Pueblos are scheduling and rotating. However, depending on if it rains, this available water to non-P&P lands could cease in July. Each Pueblo will work directly with the District to let the District know which ditches to put water in and when, both during times of full and partial supply. The Pueblo of Isleta has access to more return flows than the other Pueblos, and will work directly with the District on deliveries, both during full supply and during the partial supply return flows. Be prepared to irrigate at any time day or night when water is available per rotation schedule. Do not waste water by over irrigating Please cooperate with the Mayordomos in the scheduling of water. As we all continue to move forward in the COVID-19 Pandemic, with the cost of rising prices due to inflation, and the everyday struggles we all face, I want to encourage all of you to keep the faith, be strong and stand together with good thoughts and please be good to one another. Standing together with good thoughts makes us a strong community. We will all continue to pray to our creator for the health and healing of our community. Congratulations to all the 2022 graduates in their next education endeavors and with their professional career. You will become the next generation of tribal leaders in whatever paths you chose to take. Be proud of your accomplishments, continue to strive toward those to come, and continue to make your family and community proud of you. May we continue to receive rain and with our good thoughts and prayers, may the Creator keep us safe and bless us with a long and prosperous life. Ha-wu Vernon B.

We hope everyone is staying cool during these VERY HOT summer months. If you do not know already, the State of New Mexico is in a bad drought and we are seeing record high temperatures all over the state. That being said it is important to make sure your four-legged friends are staying cool as well. If you are not familiar with the Isleta Animal Ordinance, there are rules for making sure your pets are in a safe living environment, whether you keep them inside or outside. If you are to keep your pets outside, they MUST be confined to your property at all times. If you have a fenced in yard which is able to prevent your pets from escaping that is fine. If you do not, your pets must be on a restraint line which is a minimum of 8 (eight) feet long and must be fixated to the animal by use of a properly fitted collar and harness. Your pets must also have fresh water easily accessible and shelter available to escape from the harsh elements. Failure to comply will result in the proper actions being taken and possible forfeiture of the animal(s). One other big thing Animal Control has noticed while out on patrol is the fact that the majority of the animals we pick up do NOT have proper identification. Proper ID is either an ID tag on the pet’s collar or a Microchip. Under Ordinance this is REQUIRED to have at all times. An ID tag shall include the owner’s name, physical address, contact phone number and the animal’s name. A microchip shall have all these factors as well. If your pet does not have any proper ID and it is picked up by Animal Control, it will be considered a stray and transported to the Valencia County Animal Shelter, where they have their own intake and holding fees. To finish, I would like to let everyone know of Isleta Animal Control’s new holding facility! We are currently working to put permanent kennels throughout the building to reduce the number of animals taken to the Valencia County Animal Shelter. It is located off of Tribal Road 64 in Pickle Heights, right next to the little rec. IAC is currently taking donations on blankets, towels, and toys for the cats and dogs we hold here. We also have some food leftover to be donated for free to Tribal Members. Please call to arrange a time to meet and get food. Limited stock is available. Section 3.B Proper Identification. All animals must have proper identification tags attached to their collars or embedded in a microchip at all times. The tag shall include the owner’s name, physical address, phone number and the animal’s name. If an untagged animal is picked up by Animal Control, it will be considered a stray and transported to the Animal Shelter. Failure to comply with this subsection will result in a $25.00 fine made payable to Animal Control. Section 3.E Proper Care and Maintenance. It is the responsibility of the owner to provide adequate shelter, fresh food and water for their animals at all times and a clean living environment. Clean water must be available and accessible at all times. Owners are also responsible to provide adequate veterinary care for an injured or sick animal. Depending on the severity or condition of the animal, it could lead to CRIMINAL CHARGES being filed for ANIMAL NEGLECT and or ANIMAL CRUELTY under this Animal Ordinance. Section 3.F Running at Large. No animal is allowed to run at large, roam or create a nuisance on another person’s property or public areas of the Pueblo. All animals must be within the control of their owner, confined or physically restrained in a manner it cannot escape. First offense for an animal running at large will result in a $25.00 fine. Second offense will result in a $50.00 fine. The third offense will result in a $100.00 fine. Four or more violations will result in being cited for “Nuisance Animals” as well as a petition will be filed in court to have the animal removed from its owner.

I can give job leads, help fill out applications electronically, make resumes, and we can also practice interviewing skills so you feel comfortable in an interview.

Thank you! ST. AUGUSTINE Baptism makes us sharers in the life of God as members of the Church, the Body of Christ. The Church’s sacraments are action of the whole Church, which necessarily take place in a local community, that is, in a parish. In the celebration of the sacraments, the Church is built up, its faith strengthened, the hand of salvation is extended to faithful believers. Baptisms at St. Augustine Parish are celebrated on the third Sunday of each month, except during the Lenten season. We ask that parents register for baptism at least two months in advance of the date you plan on having your child baptized. Parents are responsible for coming to the parish office to fill out a Baptismal Registration Form. Non-Parishioner’s must obtain a letter from their Church of registration giving permission to have their child baptized at St. Augustine. A baptismal preparation class must be attended by both parents and godparents. Parents, it is your responsibility to make sure the persons you have selected as Godparents have received the sacraments of initiation (Baptism, Confirmation, First Eucharist). Please call the Parish Office if you have further questions, (505) 869-3398.

Carolyn and Randy Jim July 2022 Isleta Pueblo News Page 13 HOUSING AUTHORITY Seasonal Service - The Isleta Pueblo Housing Authority (IPHA) has been very busy with Seasonal Service these last few weeks. For those who had to wait, thank you for your patience. This season was overwhelming, IPHA attempted to service as many households as possible; however, due to staff shortage and having to hire subcontractors to assist, unfortunately service took longer than expected. Beginning in the Fall 2022, IPHA will only be servicing the shut-ins, elders (65+), disabled, and veterans. Any other households calling in for seasonal service will be referred to a list of contractors who can provide the service at the homeowner’s expense. Work Orders – IPHA receives a number of calls on a daily basis for work orders, these work orders include service for plumbing, electrical, and seasonal service issues, in addition to requests for renovations or major repairs. IPHA has a limited number of maintenance staff to address all these calls, we ask for your patience if our Maintenance Techs are unable to assist you immediately. Emergencies (health and safety related) will be given priority, all others will be addressed in the order they were received. Emergency Rental Assistance Program – the US Department of Treasury’s ERA Program will be ending on September 30, 2022. For those tribal members who are RENTING and in need of assistance, the cut-off date to apply or re-apply is September 16, 2022. This will allow IPHA sufficient time to process payments prior to the end date of September 30, 2022. The ERA1 Program provides assistance for rent and utilities (as part of the rental agreement). Keep in mind, there are eligibility requirements under this program. For further information on the ERA Program or any other Housing concerns, please call IPHA at (505) 869-4153.

We hope you and your families are having a wonderful summer, enjoying time together, and making memories. Everyone loves to be outside in the summertime doing yard work, playing with the kids, attending family gatherings, and many other activities. Some tips on how to keep you and your family safe during the summer heat are: ♦ Stay hydrated • Make sure you are drinking enough water, especially if you are outside, don’t wait until you are thirsty to drink water. • Benefits of drinking water: Gives nutrients and oxygen to your cells, normalizes blood pressure, protects organs and tissues, and regulating your body temperature. ♦ Sugary drinks • Limit the intake of sugary drinks such as sodas, sports drinks, energy drinks, sweetened tea, and coffee, as they will dehydrate you even more. • Examples of healthy drinks: Water with fresh fruit, unsweet iced tea, and sparkling water. ♦ Clothing • Instead of wearing tight-fitted clothing, wear loose lightweight light-colored clothing. This will help your body regulate its body heat. • A few examples of loose and lightweight clothing: loose shorts, tank tops, and breathable shoes. ♦ Outdoor activities • Limit outdoor activity as much as possible especially in the middle of the day when it is the hottest. • Be sure to wear sunscreen to protect yourself from harmful UV rays. Use sunscreen with an SPF 30 or higher; apply 30 minutes before going out and reapply every 2 hours. ♦ Stay indoors • Make sure you are in a well-air-conditioned area and keep yourself cool during extremely high temperatures. • Close curtains during the day; adjust the ceiling fan to the season, limit using your oven as much as you can, as it will make your house hotter. Summer can be enjoyable for everyone as long as you keep these hot tips in mind! Remember to have a safe 4th of July and enjoy your holiday! Congratulations Thur-bein!! We are all proud of you with this great accomplishment.

Keep your head high and follow your dreams!! Love: Mom, Papa, Besa, Narps,& the whole family & Tu-tu Gav from Heaven July 2022 Isleta Pueblo News Page 15 ISLETA FIRE DEPARTMENT Greetings from Isleta Fire Department, As we all know fire season is now upon us, now is the time to ensure that your house and property are safe from fire. We have seen continuously in the news all the wildfires around us and just recently the closest wildfire that occurred just south of us in Belen called the “Big Hole” fire. Some residents didn’t have time to gather personal belongings and others did, as evacuations are mandated residents only have minutes to gather what they need and leave their residences. Let’s make sure we as a community are prepared if one day a wildfire occurs in the Bosque or a field fire gets out of control. Here are a few tips to fireproof and keep your house and property safe from a wildfire. BE PREPARED • Ensure your home and neighborhood have legible and clearly marked street names and numbers. Driveways should be at least 12’ feet wide with a vertical clearance of 15’ feet for emergency vehicle access. • Develop, discuss, and practice an emergency action plan with everyone in your home. Include details for handling pets, large animals and livestock. • Plan two (2) alternate routes out of your house and neighborhood (besides the one normally used), practice a family evacuation drill using the alternate route, have a family meeting spot.

Box 167 Isleta, New Mexico 87022 or swlopc@outlook.com • Have a prepacked bag with clothing, prescribed medication and personal items to last three days (72 hours), keep all personal and important documents in a safe place or in a fireproof safe. CHECK YOUR PROPERTY • Make sure your home address number is visible from the street. If not, trim and clear obstructions covering or blocking the numbers, replace numbers if not visible, firefighters may need to locate your home. • Clear a 30’ foot radius around your house from broken tree branches, piled up dry leaves and weeds. Wood piles should be kept away from your house and off the porch or deck at least 30’ feet away. Keep all propane tanks and flammable liquids away from your house and off your porch or deck. • Keep all trees and shrubs pruned and trimmed, remove low hanging tree branches up to a height of 4’ feet from the ground. If you feel threatened by the fire and feel it’s unsafe to stay, EVACUATE, don’t wait to receive an emergency notification. Let’s all think safely and burn wisely. Contact Isleta Police dispatch (505) 869-3030 to see if it’s a BURN or NO BURN Day. Remember Burn Permits are required. Isleta Pueblo News Page 16 July 2022 Pueblo of Isleta Public Library Summer is here once again and we hope everyone is staying hydrated, cool and applying that SPF. With the heat can come hidden dangers that we often don’t think about in cooler months like drinking enough water and heat exhaustion from staying out in the sun too long. So let the library be your cool oasis in the summer heat and come in and enjoy the nice AC and enjoy a book, FREE WIFI or hop on a computer for a while and take a break. News In observance of the Fourth of July the library will be closed on Monday, July 4th. Library media checked out on Friday July 1st will be due on Tuesday, July 5th. If you need to renew library material, please remember that you can renew using our Librista Mobile App. Have a safe and fun Fourth of July!

The library staff presented the rules and made them feel comfortable by playing with toys, playing outside and making a “All About Me” collage to share with students about their favorite color, animal, movie and food. The first week was all about getting to know each other, and we ended the week going on a field trip to A Park Above and Peter Piper Pizza.

July 2022 Isleta Pueblo News ISLETA POLICE DEPARTMENT The summer heat hit early and will continue through July but it seems our monsoon season has arrived as well and hopefully will help to replenish the dry lands. The dangers of the high temperatures leads to many medical emergencies and we hope all will consider the following suggestions. As taken from an article from the American Red Cross: Heat Wave Safety Learn how to stay safe during a heat wave and how to treat heat-related illness like heat exhaustion. Extreme heat is the most dangerous type of severe-weather event in the U.S., but we can take action to prepare our loved ones and communities for extreme heat events and related power outages. Learn what to do before, during, and after to help keep everyone safe and healthy. Ensure you know the types of notifications you will receive and what to do when you receive them. The National Weather Service issues heat advisories and excessive heat warnings when unusual periods of hot weather are expected. Listen to local weather forecasters. You may hear these terms when a heat wave is predicted in your community: Excessive Heat Outlook Be Aware! An excessive heat outlook is issued when the potential exists for an excessive heat event in the next 3- 7 days. It provides information to individuals who need considerable lead time to prepare for the event. Excessive Heat Watch Be Prepared! A heat watch is issued when conditions are favorable for an excessive heat event in the next 24 to 72 hours. It is used when the risk of an extreme heat event has increased, but its occurrence and timing is still uncertain. Excessive Heat Warning/Advisory Take Action! An excessive heat warning or a heat advisory is issued within 12 hours of the onset of extremely dangerous heat conditions. Take precautions immediately to avoid heat-related illness. How to Treat Heat-Related Illnesses During heat waves people are susceptible to three heat-related conditions. Here’s how to recognize and respond to them. How to Recognize and Treat Heat Cramps Heat cramps are muscle spasms, often in the abdomen, arms or calves, caused by a large loss of salt and water in the body.

What to look for: • Heavy sweating • Cold, pale and clammy skin • Fast, weak pulse • Nausea or vomiting • Muscle cramps • Tiredness or weakness • Dizziness • Headache • Brief fainting (passing out) What to do: • Move the person to a cool place • Loosen their clothes • Put cool, wet cloths on their body, use misting and fanning, or help them take a cool bath • Have the person sip water Get medical help right away if: • Vomiting occurs • Symptoms get worse • Symptoms last longer than 1 hour • Confusion develops How to Recognize and Treat Heat Stroke Heat stroke is the most serious medical condition caused by extreme heat. It requires immediate emergency treatment. It can result in death without immediate medical attention. What to look for: • High body temperature (104°F or higher) • Hot, red, dry or damp skin • Fast, strong pulse • Headache • Dizziness • Nausea • Confusion • Losing consciousness (passing out) What to do: Call 911 right away — heat stroke is a medical emergency, then: • Move the person to a cooler place • Help lower the person’s temperature with a cool or cold bath, misting, fanning or applying cool cloths, if a bath is not available. • Do not give the person anything to drink.
