Governor’s Report

Tribal Council Update

Ma-Gu-wam

Secretary

Edward

Calabaza

and

Councilman Juan Rey Abeita attended

the National Congress of American

Indians (NCAI) in Washington D.C.

February 12 – 15, 2018. The National

Congress of American Indians, founded

in 1944, is the oldest, largest and most

representative American Indian and

Alaska Native organization serving the

broad interests of tribal governments

and communities.

As the New Mexico Legislation winds down

Isleta received some Capital outlay monies

not quite what we were hoping for. However,

the money we will receive will be used for

pending projects, Sewer line upgrades,

Transportation and the Veterans Center.

Other capital outlay requests throughout the

state are in high demand, Thanks to Drew

Setter and his associates and Tribal Directors

we managed to receive some funding.

Tribal Council and Administration are still

searching for ideas to create businesses that

will bring money and jobs to the community.

If you have any ideas on economic

development, please share them with Tribal

Council so that we can research your ideas.

We hired a consulting firm through Tribal

Council to help with economic development.

Although ideas of finding companies that

would like to venture into Indian Country

Federal and State regulations prevent not

only companies, but the tribes from entering

into negotiations. Bluestone consulting firm

is requesting ideas from tribal members and

have a form to fill out on any suggestions you

may have. All you are required to do is to

drop the form in a box next to the questioner

located in the administrative building.

The community of Isleta is raising questions

on a very tragic incident that has occurred

in our community this month. A young

man was murdered, and another seriously

wounded from a gunshot. As Native

Americans (Pueblo People) this is not us as

native people, this is not our teaching for

our children. I realize that an investigation

is being conducted, however, without the

discussion of this particular incident how do

we as a community get together to prevent

future incidents of this magnitude. The

influencing of new technology cell phones,

social media, and other outside influences are

coming into our community and destroying

our kids and the community. I realize that

technology is needed and beneficial if used as

it was intended for, however, it is also used

by people with bad intentions. On the day of

this tragedy a picture message via Facebook,

of a pistol appeared with a message blaming

the Isleta Police Department, which is totally

false and very irresponsible for the individual

or individuals whom posted this message.

Tribal Council and I have discussed this

incident as well as other issues such as drugs,

theft and various other crimes reported by

the police department and quite frankly they

are very alarming. Once the tribal functions

conclude, we will have a public meeting

to discuss this matter. I am asking for a

constructive meeting without finger pointing.

Tribal Police, Social Services, Behavioral

Health and other resources we will be invited

to attend to answer any questions you may

have. The meeting will be held in the later

part of March following traditional activities.

Please attend as we want your input.

While in Washington, the two met

with Congressional leaders and federal

agency officials to bring the tribe’s issues

of concern to their attention and try to

reach possible solutions.

FEMA Flood Mapping

Several years ago, FEMA officials came

onto the reservation, uninvited, and did

a comprehensive survey of tribal lands. A

majority of property near the Rio Grande

was deemed to be in a flood plain. As a

result, tribal members with homes in

these areas have received notices from

banks or mortgage lenders requiring

them to purchase flood insurance. In

some cases, the insurance is as high as

$500/month.

Secretary Calabaza and Councilman

Abeita met with Senators Tom Udall and

Martin Heinrich as well as staff members

from Representatives Michelle LujanGrisham (Dist. 1) and Steve Pearce to

alert them of the issue. Each of them

admitted that the issue is one that needs

to be addressed immediately, more than

likely in the form of a tribal exemption.

Councilman Abeita met with FEMA

representative Milo Booth and his

assistant Margeau Valteau. Both

promised to look into an exemption for

tribes similar to the one given to states.

Sandia Mixed Waste Landfill

Back in the 1950’s and early 1960’s

radioactive waste from Sandia National

Laboratories was dumped in various pits

near the northern Isleta reservation line.

The issue is that the material produces

a hyperactive chemical reaction when

exposed to moisture. In fact, a few

years ago, the same type of radioactive

material exploded near Beatty, NV after

coming into contact with rainwater.

Experts studying the material at the

Sandia site have told tribal council that

it is not a matter of if a similar explosion

might happen, but when. Government

officials monitoring the Beatty site

have detected radioactive waste in the

atmosphere and are currently studying

its effects on residents living in and

around the area.

Congressional leaders have assured

tribal officials that they will look into the

matter and will seek EPA funding to get

March 2018

the site cleaned up as soon as possible to

avert a similar disaster.

New I-25 Interchange

Many of you have read about recent

discussions with the Village of Los Lunas

and Valencia County officials regarding

a possible new exit along I-25. The idea

is to create an alternative route to ease

rush hour congestion in Los Lunas, while

creating an economic hub for the pueblo

with a possible truck stop, hotel, casino

and retail space.

At best, the new exit is at least five years

away.

While Congressional leaders are in favor

of the idea, they recommended that

the tribe conduct a feasibility study to

determine best location(s) for the exit and

an estimated cost. They recommended

several contacts within the Department

of Transportation who could secure

grants to pay for the study.

Land into Trust

The Trump Administration has placed a

moratorium on placing land into trust.

The idea is that land into trust cannot

be mined or drilled for natural resources.

Isleta has had applications to have lands

placed into trust for several years now.

The most recent is the Brown Property

located between the road to The Lakes

and I-25. Congressional leaders assured

tribal officials that Isleta’s applications

will not be affected because they were in

place before the moratorium went into

effect.

Opioid Crisis

A heightened emphasis was placed on

the ongoing opioid crisis. More people

are becoming addicted. More people

have access to these drugs, whether they

are prescribed or made illegally. Lastly,

more and more Native Americans are

trafficking the drugs on reservations for

non-Indians.

Department of Interior Secretary Ryan

Zinke would like to crack down on drug

dealers by conducting sting operations

across the country. However, tribal

leaders made it known that they are

concerned about jurisdictional issues

and would like more emphasis placed on

treatment.

Pharmaceutical

opiates,

primarily

pain killers, have been referred to as

“gateway” drugs leading to heroin and

methamphetamine use. Tribal leaders

would like to see more emphasis placed

on the health issue vs. the criminal

issue. And, there are pending lawsuits by

tribes against the major pharmaceutical

companies who produce these opiates

and make them readily available with

just a prescription.

GENERAL PUBLIC NOTICE

The Isleta Pueblo Housing Authority (IPHA) provides services in the form

of housing and other related services, such as our Repayment Program.

Many of our clients honor their commitments and make timely payments

on their accounts.

There are others who have not been making payments. This has created

a delinquency back log which has become unacceptable.

The IPHA’s only recourse is to adopt an assertive legal strategy to rectify

the problem. This approach will begin in the very near future.

You are encouraged to contact your IPHA account representative and

to begin constructive dialogue to help bring a solution to the problem.

2018 Next Generation

Water Summit

Beautiful Santa Fe, New Mexico will reprise

its role as host of the Next Generation Water

Summit (NGWS) April 29 – May 1, 2018. The

inaugural NGWS, held last year, was conceived to

be the first of its kind, an event directed to three

distinct professional cohorts: the building, design,

and architectural community; water policy and

delivery professionals; water harvesting, water

conservation, and re-use experts, all connected

through the issue of water scarcity in the West.

Protecting, reusing and conserving water, our most

precious natural resource, is vital to sustaining

our quality of life and economic growth in the

southwestern United States. This is the goal of

the NGWS. It brings together industry experts

to collaborate and share in this volatile, growing

environment.

The issue of water scarcity generates big

questions, which is why our keynote presenter

at the 2018 NGWS, a three-day event with over

40 breakout sessions, features a global authority

on water. Jonathan Overpeck, a water expert

from the University of Michigan and co-recipient

of the Nobel Peace Prize for his work with the

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in

2007, will speak on Monday, April 30. He will focus

specifically on the threats facing the Colorado

River Watershed.

In addition to Overpeck, this year’s NGWS has

an unbelievable speaker lineup, including: Bill

Hoffman, the father of commercial water audits;

Peter Mayer, Founder of WaterDM; Dr. Robert

Mace, Chief Water Policy Officer of The Meadows

Center for Water and the Environment at Texas

State University; as well as water professionals

from Arizona, California, Colorado, New Mexico,

Nevada, Texas, and Utah to discuss and collaborate

on unique initiatives within their state. This year

also features a pair of professionally facilitated

charrettes. The intent of these workshops is to

learn, leverage, record and plan. Both charrettes

will generate whitepapers that will be given out to

all attendees.

This unique event brings together developers,

builders and water professionals from around

the southwest to network and leverage shared

experiences. Mary Ann Dickinson, the Executive

Director of the Alliance for Water Efficiency,

keynoted last year and is a partner of the NGWS

this year. “We are proud partners of the 2018 Next

Generation Water Summit,” Dickinson said. “This

unique event is a must attend for those interested

in building sustainable communities in the arid

southwest."

Before and after the NGWS, the Santa Fe

Community College will feature a variety of water

certification courses.

These courses include:

Greywater Basics, Commercial Water Auditing,

Water Efficiency Rating Verifier, and American

Rainwater Catchment Systems Association

Accredited Professional. These courses offer

attendees the ability to attend the NGWS and

obtain valuable water certifications at the same

time. More information about these courses,

along with NGWS registration, can be found

at www.nextgenerationwatersummit.com.

The Next Generation Water Summit is hosted

by the City of Santa Fe and is produced by The

Santa Fe Area Home Builders Association;

KuelWater.org, a non-profit focused on water

reuse and recycling; the Santa Fe Green Chamber

of Commerce; and the Green Builder® Coalition,

the national nonprofit administrator of the Water

Efficiency Rating Score (WERS)®.

Transit Services Now

Serving

the Pueblo of Isleta

The Pueblo of Isleta and the Rio Metro

Regional Transit District are pleased to

announce two new transit services now

serving the Pueblo

Bus Route 208

Bus Route 208 connects the Pueblo and

Valencia County communities to the Alvarado

Transportation Center (ATC) in Downtown

Albuquerque during the morning/midday when

the Rail Runner does not operate. Route 208

features three northbound trips arriving at the

ATC at 9:30am, 11:00am and 1:30pm, and

three southbound trips departing the ATC at

9:35am, 11:05am and 1:32pm. At the ATC,

riders can transfer to ABQ RIDE bus routes.

Route 208 serves two bus stops on the Pueblo

of Isleta. The stop closest to the village proper

is located on NM 147 just east of the Rio

Grande bridge. Please do not park and leave

vehicles unattended on the adjoining roads

near this stop, as the bus and other vehicles

use these roads to turn around and access

other locations. Route 208 also stops at the

Isleta Pueblo Rail Runner Station, where riders

can transfer to the Isleta Resort and Casino

shuttle. Because the bus serves the station,

riders can also consider using Route 208 in

combination with the Rail Runner, for example,

taking the bus to Downtown Albuquerque in

the mid-morning and returning by train in the

evening.

Pueblo of Isleta Dial-a-Ride

The Pueblo of Isleta Dial-a-Ride operates

Monday through Friday from 9:00am to

2:00pm, providing trips within the Pueblo and

to the ABQ RIDE Route 53 bus stop on NM

314. Limited service to Wal-Mart in Los Lunas

will also be provided on Wednesdays from

11:00am to 2:00pm.

Request your Dial-a-Ride trip by calling

Valencia County dispatch at (505) 352-3595

before noon at least one business day prior

to your trip. Rio Metro will accept requests

beginning Wednesday 11/29 for service

starting Monday 12/4. Requests are accepted

between 8:00am and 5:00pm. On the date and

time of your trip, a wheelchair accessible van

will arrive within 15 minutes of your scheduled

pickup time. Trips may also be grouped

together; riders should expect to travel with

others.

For more information about both services,

including a copy of the Route 208 schedule,

visit riometro.org and select “Schedules” >

“Bus” > “Pueblo of Isleta” from the grey bar

near the top of the website. Schedules for

Route 208 are also available at the Public

Services Department Office at the Tribal

Services Complex.

Pueblo of Isleta Elementary School

February was a busy month for the students

at the Pueblo of Isleta Elementary School.

Students were planning and designing their

Science Fair Projects in preparation of the

competition scheduled near the end of the

month. Since the newsletter went to press

prior to our competitions, we will share

photos and results in the April Newsletter.

Forty-two students were treated to ice

cream on February 2nd for earning

Perfect Attendance during the month of

January. Students are able to earn Perfect

Attendance monthly with no tardies, no

early check-outs and no absences. The

Truancy Department also provides awards

and incentives to the Isleta Elementary

Students for Perfect Quarterly Attendance.

Students will be participating in several

local competitions over the next few

months, Science Fair, Battle of the Books

and Spelling Bee.

The Pueblo of Isleta

Elementary School Science Fair was first on

our calendar. On February 21st all student

science projects were due. Judging was

completed on the morning of February 22nd.

Third through Sixth Grade First, Second

and Third Place Winners will be traveling

to Tesuque on March 1st to compete in the

Reginal CENAC Science Fair. Parents and

community members were invited to view

our Science Fair Projects on the afternoon

of the 22nd after the judging was completed.

As part of a small service project, Pueblo

of Isleta Students showed some “LOVE” by

donating new pairs of socks for the Barrett

House in Albuquerque. Students were

treated to a morning “Sock Hop,” at the

POIES Gym, where the disco ball danced

and so did the students and staff, to the

musical sounds provided by D.J. Holly

Gilster, A.K.A. POIES Music Teacher.

Students loved having a shared Physical

Education Activity with all of their school

mates and teachers.

Family Literacy Night was held on

Thursday, February 15th. The theme was

“Keep Calm and Love Reading!” Students

and parents were invited to visit the

classroom where various Literacy Activities

were hosted. Lt. Governor Max Zuni joined

us for supper and shared stories with the

families.

Pueblo of Isleta Elementary Staff

participated in the Annual CENAC Rally

at the Santa Fe Indian School on February

Some of our Pueblo of Isleta Elementary School Valentines

20th. Students were given an extended

weekend break while the staff became

the students. It was a great learning

opportunity for all that attended.

The Student of the Month Dinner will be

held on March 7th to honor Students of

the Month for November, January and

February. Notification of honorees will be

forthcoming.

Our Teacher Feature highlights two

teachers that are both completing their

second year of teaching at POIES. Our Sixth

Grade Teacher, Loretta Ortiz is a native of

New Mexico and comes to us from Taos.

Ms. Ortiz completed both of her Education

Programs at the University of New Mexico,

where she received a Bachelor’s of Science

and a Masters of Arts in Education. She

holds a Level Three-A, Instructional

Leader, K-8 Elementary License with the

State of New Mexico. She also holds an

endorsement in Bi-lingual Education.

Before joining us at POIES, Ms. Ortiz

worked in the Albuquerque Public School

District for eighteen years as a Bilingual

Teacher. We were very fortunate that she

has brought her love of science to share with

our students. Our Sixth Grade Students

participated in the Spirit TECH Flight

Rocket Launch Project at Kirtland Air

Force Base with the support of the grant

that Ms. Ortiz submitted.

She stated, “I enjoy the opportunity to work

with Native American Children. The size

of the school and the classrooms is also

refreshing. It gives the classroom teacher

more of an opportunity to provide students

with individual academic attention.”

Ms. Loretta Ortiz

Susana Dominguez is in her eleventh

year of teaching. She also completed a

Bachelor’s of Science Degree at Texas A&M

University. After teaching for six years

in Texas, Ms. Dominguez moved to New

Mexico where she worked as a Reading

Intervention Teacher at the San Felipe

Pueblo. She has completed her Masters

of Arts, with a concentration in American

Indian Education at the University of

New Mexico. Mrs. Dominguez holds a

Level Two, K-8 Elementary License with

endorsements in the areas of Reading,

Library Media and Art. She has shared

many of her photographs with the students,

staff and families of POIES.

Mrs. Susana Dominguez

Line Dancing is fun!

Mrs. Dominguez stated, “I am inspired by

the Pueblo of Isleta Students every day. I

feel compelled to do my best work and in

return, students engage and grow. I aim

to provide a culturally relevant approach

to curriculum to stimulate improved

educational outcomes.”

February was a very busy and fun month for

us at the Elder Center! We had lots of fun

events happen this month. We had a trip

Please remember if you have any ideas or

suggestions on field trips, please leave them

We would like to remind everyone that on any

day where there is not a scheduled activity on

the calendar, you are more than welcome to

come in and utilize the Activities Room. Come

in to enjoy the comfy couches and TV set,

play a board game, play pool or challenge a

friend to Ping-Pong! We also encourage the

use of the exercise equipment that we have

such as the treadmill and stationary bike.

Valentines Day:

After mass we celebrated Valentines Day

with a social. We had music playing by DJ

Switch, Carl Jojola who is a local DJ from the

community. He had our elders up on their feet

and dancing away! We had lots of delicious

treats such as everyone’s favorite Valentine

treat, chocolate dipped strawberries along

with cupcakes & smoothies. We also had a

photo booth and those that stopped in were

able to take a photo with their friends and

family. It’s always a great sight to see when

“Polish Me Pretty”

We would like to send out a thank you to

Alexandria Lente, Salon Owner of “A Touch of

Luscious” for donating her time to come in and

give FREE manicures to our elders during her

first annual “Polish Me Pretty” event. Alex did

a fantastic job at making our nanas feel very

special and taking care of their nails. Often

times our elders can feel intimidated by going

into a salon to have some pampering done so

Alex took out that stress and bought the salon

to them. We loved to see our elders so happy

with their fresh manicures! Thank you Alex,

we look forward to having you come back!

Ash Wednesday Mass:

Lent is now upon us and we held our yearly

Ash Wednesday Mass on February 14th.

Thank you to Father George, assistants and

the choir for coming in and providing the

community with a beautiful mass. We had a

large turn out and would like to remind the

community that we hold a monthly mass at

the Elder Center inside the Activities Room

at 11:30AM; on the second Thursday of each

month, unless otherwise noted. We wish

everyone a blessed Lenten season.

Joseph Cruz Abeita

Joseph Cruz Abeita was

born in Isleta Pueblo on July

10, 1929 to parents Jose

Manuel (Ta-ta Fai-tema)

and Tonita Herrera Abeita.

As a young boy he attended

St.

Catherine's

Indian

School where he served as an

altar boy. Joseph graduated

in 1948 from Albuquerque

Indian School where he

excelled in football and baseball. After graduation, he joined

the U.S. Army where he was a tanker during the Korean

War. He was honorably discharged with many achievement

medals. Joseph worked for the Southern Pueblos Agency

(formerly BIA) as a Survey Technician and retired in 1990

after 34 years of service.

He played baseball for many years as a pitcher, playing

for Isleta and Cochiti Pueblos semi-pro teams. Following

in the footsteps of Ta-ta Fai-tema, he umpired baseball,

refereed basketball for the Albuquerque City & County

leagues, and later took on the name "Lobo Joe" for being an

avid sports fan of the UNM Lobos. Each Sunday he would

attend the 10:00 am mass at St. Augustine, until his health

deteriorated.

Joseph is survived by his wife Frances of 63 years, daughters

Loraine Padilla, Ramona Abeita-Terry and husband Peter

Terry, grandson Robin Toler and great grandson Nicholas

Toler, grand daughter Stephanie Padilla and by many

nieces, nephews and extended family members. He was

preceded in death by daughter Antoinette Abeita.

Joseph was a quiet simple and patient man with a great

wit and devotion to his family. We will miss our beloved

Joseph, may he rest in peace.

Health Beat:

EAT RIGHT, It’s National Nutrition Month.

Stephanie Barela, Health Educator

http://www.eatright.org

Phone: 505-869-4479

March is National Nutrition Month. Here are a few tips from the

Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics website on “Eat Right, Healthy Tips for 2018”.

1. Eat Breakfast

Start everyday with a healthy breakfast that includes lean protein,

whole grains, fruits and vegetables.

2. Make ½ Your Plate Fruits and Vegetables

Get your needed vitamins, minerals and fiber, by adding fruits and

veggies to your plate. Try to eat 2 cups of fruit and 2 ½ cups of

vegetables every day.

Don’t drink your calories. Stay well hydrated by drinking plenty

of water.

10. Get Cooking

Prepare foods at home to stay healthy and save money.

Learn some cooking and kitchen basics, like how to dice an onion

or cook dried beans.

3. Watch Portion Sizes

Get out the measuring cups and see how close your portions are to

the recommended serving size. Use half your plate for fruits and

vegetables and the other half for grains and lean protein foods.

11. Dine Out without Ditching Your Goals

You can eat out and stick to your healthy eating plan! The key is

to plan ahead, ask questions and choose foods carefully. Compare

nutrition information, if available, and look for healthier options

that are grilled, baked, broiled or steamed.

4. Be Active

If you are active at least 10 minutes at a time (Adults need 2.5

hours a week and children/teens should get 60 or more minutes of

physical activity per day). You don’t have to go tothe gym, just be

active (play basketball/go on a walk/just get your heart beating).

12. Enact Family Meal Time

Plan to eat as a family at least a few times each week. Set a regular

mealtime. Turn off the TV, phones and other electronic devices to

encourage mealtime talk. Get kids involved in meal planning and

cooking and use this time to teach them about good nutrition.

5. Fix Healthy Snacks

Healthy snacks can keep up your energy between meals, so choose

two or more of grains, fruits, vegetables, dairy, and protein. Try

raw veggies with low-fat cottage cheese, or a tablespoon of peanut

butter with an apple or banana.

13. Banish Brown Bag Boredom

Whether it’s a lunch for work or school, prevent brown bag

boredom with easy-to-fix, healthy lunch ideas. Try a whole-wheat

pita pocket with veggies and hummus or a low sodium vegetable

soup with whole grain crackers or a salad of mixed greens with

low-fat dressing and a hardboiled egg.

6. Get to Know Food Labels

Reading the Nutrition Facts panel can help you shop and eat or

drink smarter.

7. Consult an RDN

Whether you want to eat better to lose weight or lower your risk

or manage a chronic disease, consult the experts! Registered

dietitian nutritionists can help you by providing sound, easy-tofollow personalized nutrition advice.

8. Follow Food Safety Guidelines

Reduce your chances of getting sick by practicing proper food safety.

This includes: regular hand washing, separating raw protein

foods from ready-to-eat foods, cooking foods to the appropriate

temperature, and refrigerating food promptly. Learn more about

home food safety at www.homefoodsafetyorg.

9. Drink More Water

Quench your thirst with water instead of drinks with added sugars.

Isleta Health Center Staff supports

Heart Disease Awareness Month.

Do you know your Risks for Heart Disease?

14. Explore New Foods and Flavors

Switch up your food choices by making a point to choose a fruit,

vegetable or whole grain that is new for you and your family. This

will add more nutrition and eating pleasure by expanding your

range of food choices.

15. Eat Seafood Twice a Week

Seafood—fish and shellfish—contains a range of nutrients including

healthy omega-3 fats. Salmon, trout, oysters and sardines are

higher in omega-3s and lower in mercury.

16. Cut Back on Added Sugars

Foods and drinks with added sugars can contribute empty calories

and little or no nutrition. Reviewing ingredients on the food label

can help you identify sources of added sugar.

Johnson O’Malley News

March 2018

Hello to all JOM families. I would like to thank you all for being patient with me while we are in transition of

staffing our program. I (Michelle “Shelly” Valdez) transferred into the Academic Supervisory Counselor. I am

looking forward to this new experience and enhancing our JOM Program.

Thank you to all our families that attended

our JOM Family Night “Share a Heart” in

February! With all your help we were able

to send over 170 Valentines to our Elderly in

the community. It was a great pleasure to

watch you all bring out your creativity with

your children. I would also like to thank the

DOE staff for all their hard work to make this

happen!

Family nights are intended to have families

spend quality time with their children while

learning new educational skills. This month’s

educational skill was fine motor. Fine motor

skills involve using small movement such

as your fingers, wrist, and hands to create

coordination. Whether your child was making

a valentine card for an elder or creating a box

for their own valentines, they were using lots

of fine motor skills to build their coordination.

It is very important that if your mailing

address or email has changed

that you contact the JOM office to

update this information. Important

information is sent out via email

or mail and I have a high amount

of returned mail. If you are not

receiving the information it is also

important that you contact our

office.

High school students that pay

for a lab fee, ACT/SAT and Pre/

AP reading material for the

second semester may submit your

receipt(s) for reimbursement. Also

graduating seniors you are eligible

for cap and gown reimbursement.

The deadline date is approaching

fast!

All reimbursements must have an original receipt,

class schedule and a W-9 (as required to receive a

reimbursement).

Tutoring

Tutoring is now available for the second semester. Call the

JOM office to pick up a packet and to set up an assessment

for your child. I would like to remind you that this is not

homework help. Tutoring is two days a week on MondayThursday.

If you have any questions, please contact the JOM office at

869-9810 for more information.

If you or your child is a senior and plan on attending the 2018 Graduation banquet in April please call to RSVP

before March 30, 2018. You may also send in 3 pictures of your graduate to be showcased during the banquet.

Pictures may be dropped off at the office or emailed in JPEG format to poi02003@isletapueblo.com. Pictures

must be in by April 6, 2018 no exceptions!

Greetings from the Isleta

Elder Center Kitchen

On February 16, 2018 our Elder

Center Kitchen staff celebrated

the 50th Wedding Anniversary of

Alex and our wonderful Head Cook,

Charlotte “Kaloots” Lucero with a

celebration breakfast. With the help

of their daughter, Thurna, we were

able to surprise both Kaloots and

Alex.

The kitchen staff wanted to send a

very sincere Thank You to everyone

who was able to attend and help

us celebrate this very important

milestone. It was exciting to see lots

of friends and family extend their

congratulations to the Luceros.

Kaloots sends a very big thank to

everyone for coming to the party, for

all the wonderful gifts and for making

this day very special.

Tips for Night Driving

From the Isleta Health

Center’s Optometry Clinic

1. Never wear tinted lenses while

driving at night

– So called night driving lenses with

any amount of tint or polarization only

reduce the already limited amount of

light available to your eyes making

driving more hazardous.

2. Wear lenses with Anti Reflective

(AR) coating

– AR coatings minimize distracting

internal lens reflections which can be

significantly more noticeable at night.

3. Have regular eye exams and

ensure your eyewear prescription is

up to date

– Even slightly uncorrected refractive

errors can make night time driving

more difficult.

4. Make sure your corrective lenses

are clean

– Dirty lenses can limit your view and

induce glare.

5. Make sure your windshield is

clean

– As with corrective lenses, dirty

windshields will also limit your view

and induce glare.

6. Make sure your head lights are

clean and properly aligned

– Dirty headlights can reduce efficacy

by 75%.
