Governor’s Report

Ma-Gu-Wam

Greetings from the Governor’s Office. For all

the Graduates of 2018, College, High School,

Elementary, and Head Start, congratulations.

For the College and High School Graduates

some of you will probably join the work force

while some will continue their education,

we wish you all the best of luck. I want to

thank all the students for not giving up on

accomplishing your goals. No matter how bad

things may be at times, do not ever give up

for time will prevail and your achievements

will be met, that is on education, or finding

the right profession of your choice. Thanks

to the Educators for your commitment and

making this day possible for our graduates in

meeting their goals of achievement. Thanks

to the parents for all the support and patience

you have given your children, may god bless

all our students, parents and educators.

The Department of Education reports that 28

of our tribal members graduated from college,

and 52 High School students received their

High School diplomas. It is always good news

when we hear the success stories of our Native

Americans accomplishing their education.

This is good news for Indian Country. Native

students are becoming Attorneys, Teachers,

Engineers, etc. and entering a work force

that offers high paying jobs, good benefits,

insurance, and retirement. Keep up the good

work, your future depends on it.

As the drought continues, farmers are hoping

for rain. We are thankful for the rain we got

May 21, hopefully the rains will continue.

Please pay attention while irrigating your

fields, water usage is being monitored for

waste.

The Governors feast will be on June 16, 2018,

everyone is invited, reception will be at the

new CCD building on the east side of the

Saint Augustine Church, come over and have

something to eat.

PUEBLO OF ISLETA

VETERANS ASSOCIATION

A memorial dedication will be held at our

Veteran's Center at 10:00 am on July 7, 2018.

The Veterans Association and the Americorps

Group are working jointly to construct this

memorial. This dedication is on behalf of

the late Richard "Dickie" Baker USMC, who

donated eight acres of his land assignment to

the Isleta Veterans Association located at Los

Charcos. As a proud Marine Corps Veteran his

desire was for us to build a center to be used

by all pueblo veterans. We are continuing

to accommodate his request. We have been

fortunate toward requesting and receiving

State grants for capital improvements and in

kind services from our pueblo government.

Raffle tickets are now available for sale to

help fund the memorial project.

All veterans and the public are invited to

attend.

off at the Library or emailed to poi02002@isletapueblo.com.

Should you email your article, expect a confirmation email. If

you do not receive a confirmation email, odds are it never made

it to me and then it’s time to panic, so call Nate at 505.869.9808.

First Notice – A petition to Probate the Estate of Jose I. Martin, deceased

October 22, 2017. Case No. CV-17-PRO-00003, has been filed with the Pueblo

Court Clerk, located at the Tribal Service Complex, 3950 Hwy 47 SE, Building A,

Albuquerque, NM. Any questions regarding the matter may be directed to the

Isleta Tribal Court Clerk at (505) 869-9699.

People whom wish to submit an article or flyer are responsible

for generating their own article or flyer. Should you need help,

please call the Library at 505.869.9808 and set up a date and

time to sit down with a Library staff member whom will help

you throughout the process. The Library will NOT accept

notes dropped off at the Library or information over the phone

ANIMAL CONTROL

Parvo ( Parvovirus)

“Parvo” or Parvovirus, is a highly contagious

and serious disease making its presence known

here in Isleta this year. To date we have had

at least a dozen calls with questions about the

signs of parvovirus. Parvovirus is a serious

disease cause by a virus. The virus attacks

the lining of the small intestine that helps

absorb nutrients. It affects puppies, dogs and

wild canids like foxes and coyotes. The virus

is spread by dog to dog contact and contact

with contaminated feces/stool, environments

or people. The virus can contaminate food and

water bowls, collars, leashes and the hands,

clothing and footwear of people who handle

infected animals. The virus is resistant to

heat, cold, humidity and drying which allows

it to survive for long periods of time.

All dogs are at risk for contracting parvovirus,

but puppies less than four months of age and

those dogs that have not been vaccinated

against parvovirus have a greater risk of

contracting the disease. Dogs that have been

infected with parvovirus often are said to be

lethargic (lazy and not active); have a loss of

appetite; will have a fever; vomiting; and often

bloody diarrhea. Vomiting and diarrhea can

cause rapid dehydration and most deaths

from parvovirus will occur 48 to 72 hours after

onset of clinical signs. Physical examination

and fecal testing by a veterinarian is the only

way to confirm a dog has parvovirus. There

is no specific drug available that will kill the

virus. Treatment is intended to support the

infected dog in effort to combat dehydration by

replacing electrolyte and fluid loss. Because

parvovirus is highly contagious it is necessary

to isolate infected dogs. Proper disinfection of

the areas where infected dogs are housed is

essential to control the spread of the disease.

Using 1 part bleach to 30 part water solution

has been found to reduce the parvovirus in

contaminated surfaces and areas reducing the

chance of infection of other dogs.

Vaccination is the best prevention. It is

extremely important to vaccinate as young

puppies are very prone to contracting

parvovirus. It is best to consult with a

veterinarian on which vaccination program

is best for your dog. An owner will spend a

little bit of money to get a dog its vaccines, but

much less expensive for a vaccine than it is

to treat a dog for parvovirus. One individual

who treated their dog who had parvovirus

spent approximately $500 to get it treated.

With that said it is important and your duty

as an owner to have your pets vaccinated as

recommended by a veterinarian.

Veterinary Medical Association, Parvovirus

pamphlet.

SWIMMING POOL NEWS

Summer is here and the Summer Rec program is in full swing! This

means that the pool will be getting a lot of use from the children of

Isleta and we will have new hours. Our new hours will be MondayThursday from 6:00am to 6:45pm. Friday hours will be 6:00 am to

5:30pm. Saturday hours will remain 10:30am- 3:00pm. Each day

we will be closed from 12:00pm- 1:00pm for shift change and clean

up. The change of hours will take place June 4th, 2018. These new

hours are going to accommodate more of our summer swimmers.

This gives more time to come in and cool off in our main pool, or

relax in the hot tub. If you have small children, our wading pool is

perfect for them being kept at 90° F. For those sore muscles and

aching joints our hot tub is kept at 104° F.

The Pueblo of Isleta Environment Division would like to thank Isleta

Elementary School for working together on two projects. The first program

we partnered with was Earth Force, a non-profit organization that provides

environmental educational programs that center around civic action and

problem solving strategies. It also fosters young people to be good stewards

to the land, to their community and to the environment. Through this

program students learned to identify environmental strengths and issues

our community faces, especially water quality issues in the Rio Grande.

We also partnered with U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service with their outreach

program called “Native Fish in Classroom.” Through this program, students

learned about the many different native fish species found in the Rio Grande,

basic water quality testing and caring for their own native fish in their

classrooms. U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service had nine schools participating this

year around the state and two of these schools were Pueblo schools. We were very excited to bring this program to Isleta and we hope

we can continue to be a part of this program.

Both Programs ended with field trips to the Rio Grande where the students were greeted by Lt. Governor Max Zuni. He talked to

the students on the importance of taking care of our land, water and the environment. The last day of the Native Fish in Classroom

program, the students said their good-byes to the fish they raised in their classrooms and released them in to the Rio Grande. Thank

you to Julia Bernal of Earth Force and Angela James of U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service for partnering with the Pueblo and bringing and

sharing these great programs with our youth.

ISLETA RESORT & CASINO

Isleta Resort & Casino proudly unveiled one of

its greatest new resources: an expanded health

clinic for employees. The facility is an upgrade

to a smaller clinic, which used to be located

deep in the bowels of the resort. The Clinic is

located in the hotel of Isleta Resort & Casino,

adjacent to the swimming pool area. The public

entrance is at the south side of the building

where parking is available. This means there

is increased convenient access for those who

use the facility.

Isleta Resort & Casino is available only to the

employees of the Pueblo of Isleta and Isleta

Resort & Casino and will provide service for

routine walk-ins or urgent care type illnesses.

covered under the POI/IRC Blue Cross and

Blue Shield plan may be treated at the Clinic.

The Clinic can treat patients ages 2 years and

older. The clinic does not have the capacity to

treat patients under 2 years of age. The Clinic’s

purpose does not permit treating patients who

are on Medicare and/or Medicaid. There is no

co-pay for clinic visits.

The Clinic will provide service for routine

walk-in or urgent care type illnesses. Common

reasons for clinic visits include:

•

Ear, nose, and throat ailments

Upper/lower respiratory conditions

Cold/Flu/Strep Throat symptoms

Routine clinical evaluations

Blood pressure checks

Gastrointestinal ailments

Minor skin irritations/conditions

Minor health issues requiring

immediate medical attention

In the event of an emergency or lifethreatening situation during normal

clinic hours, the clinic will coordinate

transfer of a clinic patient to the

nearest hospital via 911.

Other clinical services may be provided

as the need requires.

The Clinic is open Monday through Friday, 7:00

a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and it is closed on Saturdays,
