Solutran Begins As Processor for the
Largest WIC EBT Program
Solutran is processing EBT payments
for the Texas Health & Human Services
Commission
MINNEAPOLIS, MN (February XX,
2016) — Solutran is proud to announce
the Wic Mosaic Project has successfully
started processing transactions, making
the Texas procured project the nation’s
largest Women, Infant, and Children (WIC)
program processing Electronic Benefit
Transfer (EBT) transactions.
In first month of operation, the Wic Mosaic
Project team processed more than 1.5
million retail transactions and reimbursed
over 36.5 million dollars to approximately
2,200 grocery vendors throughout the state
of Texas. Achieving this milestone was a
culmination of an eight-month collaboration
between Texas WIC and Solutran which
included an integration with Texas’s
legacy MIS system, and increasing the
state’s reporting functionality through
Solutran’s web portal.
April 2016
“Our partnership with Solutran will greatly
improve the way our EBT transactions
are processed, making it easier for our
grocery partners to get paid,” said Candace
Stohs-Krause, TXIN Wic Mosaic Project
Communications Manager.
The Texas contract is valued over $30
million, making it the largest contract
in Solutran’s history. The Wic Mosaic
project includes additional contracts for the
WIC programs of New Mexico, Louisiana,
Cherokee Nation, and Pueblo of Isleta.
Once completed, the project will collectively
serve over 1.1 million program participants
across five WIC programs.
“We take great pride in serving Texas and
the other Wic Mosaic partners. By using
leading-edge technology, our teams were
able to implement this project phase under
an extremely tight project timeline. Now
that we are up and running, we intend to
demonstrate our service tradition that is
second to none,” said Barry Nordstrand,
CEO of Solutran.
Texas Health and Human Services
Commission, selected Solutran as their
WIC EBT Supplemental Nutrition Program
claims processor in November of 2014. The
Wic Mosaic Project was initially comprised
of Texas, New Mexico, and Louisiana WIC
programs and has since expanded to include
the Cherokee Nation, and Pueblo of Isleta

programs. The master services agreement
with Texas extends the option to other
states and agencies to contract through
their procurement vehicle. States and
agencies that contract through the services
agreement gain access to Solutran’s EBT
Services solution as well as benefit from
their volume-tiered pricing.

Back in the mid-2000's, a group of POI Veterans, realizing that
there was a need to provide services to our veterans, their families
and to the POI community, came together to develop a veterans
organization. First step was American Legion Post 209...and
because of certain circumstances, which the veterans had control
over...Post 209 disbanded...and we are now the Pueblo of Isleta
Veteran's Association.
Back to a bit of history...in May 2006, we received a phone call
from the late Richard "Dickie" Baker, (USMC — Vietnam Vet)
informing the veterans (at that time American Legion Post 209)
that he wanted to donate to the veterans of Isleta, land he had
in Los Charcos, NM, specifically to be used for a veterans center.
Anyway, after that, there was a lot of planning to build a vet center.
Beginning with Post 209, and on to POI Vet Association, meetings
were held at the Elderly Kiva Room, the old Headstart Building,
and now at the Rec Center...and a few other places. But through
a lot of hard work and dedication the Veteran's Center that was
a vision that Richard Baker and others had, will soon become a
reality...with an official opening planned probably in mid - May or
early June.
Beginning with Richard Baker (story on Richard in next month's
newsletter), the POI Veterans have a lot of people to thank,
including our state legislatures, who helped fund the vet project
through capital outlay funds, tribal administration and council, and
especially our veterans who continue to work hard, and unselfishly
donate many hours towards the success of this project, which will
continue as long as there are Veterans to be served.
Soon, our "homeless vets will have a home".

Isleta Pueblo News
2016 All Indian Game Day:
This year, the Pueblo Of Isleta was host to the 2016 All Indian Game Day Events. All
Indian Game is an event that originated in the 1980’s and was first hosted in the Zuni
Pueblo area. This event is conducted and hosted by the New Mexico Senior Olympics
Program as well as the host venue. The event is open for all 19 NM Pueblos, Apache
Tribes and Navajo Nation as well as various surrounding NM Native American programs
to participate in which involve various athletic events. Athletes earn points for their
community by placing in the top seeds of their various events. These points are awarded
to athletes in various age/event categories. Earned points are tallied at the end of the
entire event and Special Awards are presented in a closing ceremony.
This year was the 11th annual All Indian Game Day to have taken place. This is one of
the only sporting events for Native American communities that incorporate a friendly
tribal community/program competition in the south west region that involves various
Senior Olympic events for athletes ages 50 & over. Isleta has now been home to 6 All
Indian Game Day Events.
Since the early 2000’s this event has taken place every other year or on every even year.
In 2016, Isleta was blessed to have been home for over 400+ registered athletes as well
as over 100+ volunteer staff and an audience of even more fellow Native Americans
visitors from throughout New Mexico. Isleta hosted this event during March 16th
& 17th, 2016, utilizing various surrounding venues such as the Isleta Elder Center,
Recreation Center, Golf Course, Fun Connection, and Lakes. Volunteers from various
Pueblo Of Isleta Departments, Isleta community members as well as members from the
Isleta Veterans Association all took part and were essential in the success of this year’s
event.
Over 30+ registered athletes from our Isleta community as well as various local Native
American participants were the ambassadors of athleticism, sportsmanship, teamwork,
and community involvement for our pueblo in this year’s event. All of the athletes
involved are truly appreciated for their continuous participation in advocating the true
meaning of living a healthy proactive lifestyle through these Senior Olympic events.
Pueblo Isleta Programs such as the Parks/Recreation Program & Elder Program were
each recognized and presented with beautiful plaques for their involvement in making
this event possible.
Team Isleta was awarded 1st Place, earning the top points in the Elder/Elders Category
of the 2016 A.I.G.D events. Team Isleta Athletes earned medals and community points
by placing in top three of each of their various events. Nearly all athletes involved
in this year’s competition were able to earn a medal in each of the offered events.
Congratulations to Elsie Lucero in earning the 2016 Spirit Athlete Award for her
participation and involvement in the Isleta Senior Olympic Program.

Happy Spring to all families and friends of
Isleta Eagles! We have approached the
beginning of the 4th 9 week period and grades
3 through 6 are preparing for the annual
PARCC assessment.
NO after school March 24th
Spring Break March 25-April 1st
Half Days: March April 6th & April 20th
Child Abuse Awareness family night April 14th 5:30-7:30pm
updates such as roller coaster building and
arts and craft projects.
What is PARCC you may ask? PARCC
stands for The Partnership for Assessment
of Readiness for College and Careers.
According to www.parcconline.org, this
assessment provides an evaluation of each
student’s progress in both English and
Mathematics. The test is aligned to what
students are learning in the classroom which
is further aligned to the Common Core State
Standards. It measures real world skills
that include problem solving and critical
thinking. Overall, PARCC measures student
achievement.
During the testing weeks, please make sure
your child goes to bed early, gets plenty of rest,
and eats a healthy breakfast. Students will
not be allowed into class once testing starts.
Please make sure your child gets to school on
time during testing weeks. Testing will begin
the week of April 18th. Additional information
will be sent home in the near future.
On behalf of the Isleta Elementary staff and
students, we would like to wish you all a
relaxing and fun spring break.
After School Program
The 21st Century After School Program is off
and running! Every club is having fun and
learning new things. Thank you teachers and
students who are making our after school
program a success.
One of the classes being offered is Lego Club
sponsored by Mrs. Lovato and Ms. LaPahe.
There are currently 15 students enrolled
from grades K-3. Lego Club helps students
develop many important skills.
Preparing to launch a rocket. Thanks to
the help of a parent.
Some of these skills include: problem solving,
working with instructions, organization, and
critical thinking. In the Lego Club, students
work in a small group to build “sets” such as
Wall-E, The White House, The Eifel Tower,
and a farm setting. To date, students have
completed 5 sets. They are extremely proud
of their hard work and are enthusiastic to start
new sets!
A group of 4th and 5th graders have been
building rockets which is quite a task. Students
must measure, cut, align, follow specific
instructions, and be patient. There are a total
of 12 rockets that have been built. Stay tuned
for rocket launching success and other club
Isaac and Denise are showing
off their rock art.

1st Grade News
Wow! We cannot believe it is already March!
Time flies when you are having fun! In our
fabulous first grade class we are working on
many things. In ELA, we are digging deeper
into our reading. We are asking questions
such as: what is the author’s purpose, what is
the main idea and how can we read to find the
solution and problems in the stories. In math,
we are learning how to tell time, double digit
addition and subtraction, working on our fact
fluency to ten, and many other math concepts.
All of the first graders work so hard! Parents,
thank you for allowing me to be their teacher
this year! Have a wonderful and restful spring
break.
Mrs. Armijo
4th Grade News
We are becoming geologists! As part of our
earth science studies, we are learning about
the Rock Cycle. Through our exploration,
we found out that the rock cycle never ends!
Just ask one of our fourth grade geologists
to explain that to you.
Learning about
the different types of rocks has been very
interesting. We will be doing some research
using our own playground. Hopefully we will
find examples of igneous, sedimentary, and
metamorphic rock.
Erosion takes place in many areas. Right in
our neighborhood, there is a prime example –
the arroyo. We plan to take a short walk and
study the arroyo.
If anyone has rock samples that could be
shared with our class, we promise to take
excellent care of them. In the meantime –
ROCK ON!!!
Yearbooks are still being sold. If you would
like one please see your teacher or Mrs.
Armijo. They will be arriving around May 7th
and only a few will be available to
sell. So get your book today!

learning how rocks form. Grade 3 wrote
reports about U.S. Presidents from George
Washington to Obama using the internet to
help them find fun facts and to see how the
job has changed after using the internet to get
facts. Grade 1 has been busy typing spelling
words and sentences as well as using IXL to

The Old Recreation Center and the Library
are teaming up to provide you more
resource for a different workout experience.
The Library has purchased a 55in TV, a
Blu-Ray player, and a sound bar, which
will be at the Old Recreation Center. This
took place of the small 12in TV they had
available to everyone. We have provided
them these items to promote our fitness
DVDs and to give you another work out
experience. Recreational Staff Member
Steven Abeita took the initiative to make
this happen and has been checking out
fitness DVDs to have available at the front
desk for you to explore. All that we ask
is that you respect and take care of these
items every time you use them. Every two
weeks the old recreation center will have
5 fitness videos available at the front desk

friends and head on to the Old Recreational
Center and get an intense exciting workout.

promotion so patrons may lessen their
Library Fines without having to paying

years, we witnessed children using shirts
and plastic bags as Easter Baskets. At this
time, I would like to thank those Library
patrons for the kind donations as you
helped enhance eleven children’s Easter
experience.

The Community Garden has received a
tremendous amount of support this year!
So far several community members have
donated their time to readying the garden
by clearing weeds, flattening the garden’s
surface, starting seedlings and gathering
leaves. The Pueblo of Isleta landfill staff
voiced their support and will be delivering
fresh mulch to the garden which then we will
use for walking paths. Another community
member donated eight 55-gal drums which
will be used for rainwater catchment and
water storage.
We have partnered with Mick Gorospe,
Laguna Tribal Member and the Land and
Farm Manager at the Gutierrez-Hubble
House Vineyard and Orchard just north of
the Isleta reservation on Isleta Blvd. Mr.
Gorospe provides us a tremendous amount

Experiential Learning Opportunity St. Patrick’s Day Balloon Rally
Experiential Learning Opportunities provide students real-life learning experiences. This past month we attended the St. Patrick’s Day Balloon Rally in
Belen. We had four students get up before the roosters even crowed. They observed the process of how the hot air balloons go from being packed up in a truck
to up in the air. We were welcomed by the Wells Fargo Pilot to explore her balloon close up. They were amazed that the pilot of the balloon was a woman!
We were excited that they got to sit on the basket and look way up into the balloon as it was filled with hot air. They also learned that each balloon is different
in size, shape and color. They learned that each balloon will lift off based on total weight and not based on the capacity.

FROM THE DESK OF Arnold Sena
(PARKS & RECREATION DEPARTMENT DIRECTOR):
Happy April to everyone in the Pueblo!
As we dive into April I’m sure that many of you that frequent the
New Recreation Center have noticed the signs posted stating that
the swimming pool will be closed indefinitely. For information
purposes, yes it is currently closed, unfortunately we had to close
the swimming pool due to our current staffing situation and for
safety reasons.
We are hoping to re-open the pool as soon as we are able to do so;
I recently lost two Lifeguards, an Assistant Aquatics Coordinator
and an Aquatics Coordinator. All four of these individuals recently
resigned from their positions with the pueblo, which left us seriously
understaffed in the pool area and their resignations actually
forced us to close the pool for safety reasons. The individuals that
resigned were all certified staff members that were key cogs in the
daily operations of the pool.
As soon as we get the vacant positions filled with certified staff, we
will be able to re-open the pool again. We have posted the vacant
positions on the POI website and we are diligently trying to find
individuals to fill those vacant positions. It is very important to me
that I fill these vacant positions with quality individuals that are
certified to work with swimming pools. I also want to make sure
that the individuals I hire have the safety and the best interest of
the pueblo and its people in mind before we hire them.
I know that many of you are frustrated about the current pool
situation and that you want to see the pool opened as soon as
possible and I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience the pool
closure has caused. We will get our vacant pool positions filled
soon and as I mentioned earlier, our goal is to get our pool safely
re-opened and available to our pueblo members (elders, adults,
teens, and children) as quickly as possible.
Once we re-open the pool we are hoping to see all of you and your
families here enjoying the swimming pool and meeting the new
staff. Please come and take advantage of the pool when it re-opens.
If anyone has any questions or concerning about the pool and/or
the department please feel free to contact me at 869-9777. I would
love to hear from you, your input is important to me and the future
of the department.
ALL INDIAN GAME DAY
Another all Indian Game Day is in the books. This year’s event took place
this past month (March) and with well over 400 elders from approximately
24 different pueblos and tribes that participated in this year’s games, I would
have to say that the games were a huge success.
This year’s elders participated in Archery, Basketball Free Throw, Bowling,
8Ball Pool, Frisbee Accuracy, Frisbee Distance, Golf, Huachas, Road Race-5K,
Shuffleboard, Soccer Kick Accuracy, Softball Distance Throw, 400M Run/Walk
and 800M Run/Walk.
What a great event for our Native American Elders from across the state, it
was awesome to see them compete in the different activities for two days. They
really take their games seriously and they should. The skill level that many
of these athletes displayed along with their fitness level made me seriously
question my own health and fitness level and I decided that I need to get back
in the gym.

I want to thank the Senior
Olympics Staff, the Elder Center
and their staff, my Parks &
Recreation Department staff, all
the volunteers from Isleta Pueblo
and from all the other pueblos
and anyone else that I may have
inadvertently forgot to thank
for all their hard work with this
great event.
Random Fact of the Day:
The average strawberry
has 200 seeds.
Congratulations
on a job well done
Merissa & Ashley
Marie on your
completion of the

Run.
ANNUAL EASTER EGG HUNT
We also had our annual Easter Egg Hunt this past month which
was also a success, we had approximately 80 participants that
participated in 5 different age groups this year. The different age
groups were 5 and under, 6 through 8 year olds, 9 through 11 year
olds, 12 and up age group and we also had an Elder Easter Egg Hunt
this year for anyone 50 years old or older.
Boy’s Isleta Eagles
Basketball Team
This was another great event, with great participation, put together
by and sponsored by our Parks & Recreation Department and staff.
There were lots of happy faces! Great job everyone.
Remember that it’s already April and summer is quickly creeping up
on us. It is extremely important that we protect our skin from the UV
rays that cause damage to our skin, so make sure and use sun screen
whenever you are outdoors. It’s equally important that we make
sure that we stay hydrated with fluids not only during the summer
months but year round. Heat Stroke is a very common occurrence
in our New Mexico climate and it’s also something that is highly
preventable. Keep yourselves hydrated and drink plenty of water.
Let’s do our part for our own personal well-being and for our loved
ones by using sunscreen on ourselves and our family members, let’s
also make sure that drink plenty of water. Stay Healthy!
The following is the Pueblo of Isleta, Parks & Recreation
Departments Mission Statement and Vision Statement.
MISSION STATEMENT – To provide programs and parks systems
that meet community needs and promote community involvement in
recreation fitness, parks, cultural activities, education, and health
and family activities in well maintained, accessible and safe facilities
and environments.
VISION STATEMENT – To provide and offer facilities, programs
and services that allows our tribal members and tribal employees to
experience physical, mental, and social benefits through their leisure
time participation and to provide opportunities for young people,
adults, and elders to live, grow and develop into healthy, contributing
members of the Isleta Pueblo and beyond.
My staff does their very best every day to make sure that our Mission
and Vision Statements are being followed and I want to commend
them for the great job that they do on a daily basis for the Pueblo
of Isleta and the tribe. I can’t say enough about them, they do a
wonderful job.
Thought of the day:
“Learn to enjoy every minute of your life.
Be happy now.
Don’t wait for something outside of yourself
to make you happy in the future.
Think how really precious is the time you have to spend,
whether it’s at work or with your family.
Every minute should be enjoyed and savored.”
~ Earl Nightingale
Posted is a picture of the 2016 Boy’s Isleta Eagle Basketball
Team. The team is composed of students from the Isleta
Elementary & various Los Lunas Schools with the link being
the Pueblo of Isleta in some form. As the season progressed,
the team lost four players and their coach as the end of the
season tournaments began. Despite the obstacles which
presented themselves to the team, these nine players turned
and relied on each other as they then realized they were there
for one another. Instead of having a full month of practice,
they had three days and had to practice outside at the old
elementary courts as the Recreational Gym & Outside courts
were reserved for the Senior Games. They endured the cold
wind one day, then the hot sun on the other, and the nonforgiving cement courts on the last two days of their three
practice.
They may not have won a game in the last basketball
tournament but they represented the Pueblo of Isleta with
great humbleness and honor. Many fans in stands at San
Felipe complimented our team for their relentlessness not to
give up as they fought and played hard. Should you recognize
any of these nine boys be sure to Thank them for showing our
neighboring Pueblo relatives that the people from the Pueblo
of Isleta (including their youth) are strong minded and never
quit no matter how hard life gets.
The team would also like to acknowledge and thank
Recreational Staff member Ray Mora for donating his time
and basketball knowledge to the team during their final
practices.

SHINGLES
Shingles is an infection caused by the varicella-zoster virus, which
is the same virus that causes chickenpox. Even after chickenpox
is treated, the virus may live on in your nervous tissues for years
before reactivating as shingles. Shingles may also be referred to as
herpes zoster. This type of viral infection is characterized by a red
skin rash that usually causes pain and burning. Shingles usually
appears as a stripe of blisters on one side of the body, typically
on the torso, neck, or face. Most cases of shingles clear up within
two to three weeks. Shingles rarely occurs more than once in the
same person. The first symptoms of shingles are usually pain and
burning. The pain is usually on one side of the body and occurs in
small patches. A red rash typically follows.
Rash characteristics include:
•
red patches
•
fluid-filled blisters that break easily
•
a rash that wraps around from the spine to the torso
•
a rash on the face and ears
•
itching
Some people experience symptoms beyond pain and a rash
with shingles. These symptoms may include:
•
a fever
•
chills
•
a headache
•
fatigue
•
muscle weakness
Certain factors put people at risk for developing shingles:
•
can occur in anyone who has had chickenpox
•
being 60 or older
•
having had chickenpox before the age of 1
•
having diseases that weaken the immune system, such
as HIV, AIDS, or cancer
•
having had chemotherapy or radiation treatment
•
taking drugs that weaken the immune system, such as
steroids or medications given after an organ transplant
Preventing Shingles:
•
Vaccines can help keep you from developing severe
shingles symptoms or complications from shingles.
•
All children and adults who have never had the
chickenpox should receive a chickenpox vaccine
(varicella immunization).
•
The immunization doesn’t necessarily mean that you
won’t get chickenpox, but it can help reduce the severity
of your symptoms.
•
Adults who are age 60 or older should get a
shingles vaccine, also known as the varicella-zoster
immunization. This vaccine helps to prevent severe
symptoms and complications associated with shingles.
Shingles is contagious. If you become infected, certain
steps must be taken to prevent the spread of the infection.
•
Having had shingles infection previously does not
mean you cannot receive the vaccine, although
if you had shingles recently, you have probably
boosted your immune system for the next few years.
Since it is a live virus vaccine, there are some people
who should not receive it. Many doctors usually ask
patients (e.g. RA on immunosuppression medication) to
consult with their Rheumatologist and/or other
specialist physician to ensure the vaccine is safe for them.
•
The diagnosis of Shingles can usually be done with a
physical examination of rashes and blisters.
Easing Symptoms:
There is no cure for Shingles, but symptoms can be eased and the
length can be shortened through different medications, as well as
home treatments, such as:
•
Rest
•
Apply cold, wet compresses to the rash to reduce pain
•
Apply calamine lotion to reduce itching
•
Take colloidal oatmeal baths to ease pain and itching
Shingles typically clears up within a few weeks and rarely recurs.

WIC NOTES
The month of April brings many things - Easter, winds,
flowers and ...eggs.
Chicken Eggs and Cholesterol- Are Eggs Good for
Us?
Eggs do have cholesterol and cholesterol can contribute to
high blood cholesterol levels. However, eggs also have lots of
nutrients that are good for us. So are eggs good or bad for
us?
For most people eggs, in moderation, are part of a healthy
diet.
●Eggs are rich in the B vitamins and also contribute
vitamins A and D. Eggs are also rich in the substance
lutin which protect our eyes. Almost all these nutrients
are in the yolk of the egg.
Although eating too many eggs can increase your cholesterol,
eating four egg yolks or fewer on a weekly basis hasn't been
found to increase one’s risk of heart disease.
Thomas Behrenbeck, M.D., Ph.D.
Consider these points when deciding how many eggs
to include in your diet:
Remember- one large egg has about 186 mg of cholesterol —
all of which is found in the yolk.
•
• If you have cardiovascular disease, diabetes or high
LDL "bad" cholesterol levels- you should limit your
dietary cholesterol to less than 200 mg a day.
One large egg has about 186 mg of cholesterol — all of
which is found in the yolk. Therefore, if you eat an egg
on a given day, you may want to limit other sources of
cholesterol for the rest of that day.
WIC Mini Egg and
Cheese Tortilla Cups
Involve your children in preparing this fun recipe. Then sit down together
and eat! Everyone will love the taste, but eating meals as a family is
what really matters.
• Other sources of cholesterol include meat and
dairy products. Choose lean meats and low and nofat dairy products to reduce the cholesterol in your
diet.
Ingredients (4 servings)
4 eggs- WIC food
¼ cup sour cream (or milk)
½ cup shredded cheese, any kind. WIC uses Colby Jack- WIC food
Diced vegetables of your choice. Broccoli or bell peppers & onions are
good choices-WIC food
1 extra-large tortilla or 4 small tortillas -WIC food - Salt and pepper to
taste.
Instructions:
1.
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Stack the small tortillas. Using anything with a rim (can, cup, small bowl) press through the tortillas until you
have cut out round circles. If you are using big tortillas cut the four circles
out of one tortilla. Press each tortilla- round into 4 greased muffin tins
using your fingers. It’s fine if it does not fit perfectly. Set aside.
2.
In medium bowl, whip the eggs and sour cream until combined.
It’s fine if it is a little lumpy. Add half of the cheese. Sprinkle with salt and
pepper.
3.
Pour equal amounts of egg/sour cream mixture into the tortillarounds in the muffin tin. Add the veggies. Bake for 10 minutes- then
sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Continue baking for 3-5 minutes
more until cheese is bubbly and tortillas are golden. Remove from tin and
serve warm.
If you are receiving bills for medical services, please bring them to PRC.
RED FLAG....if you are receiving the bill, then PRC is not being billed.
Call 869-4488 for more information.
If you are healthy, it's recommended that you limit
your dietary cholesterol to less than 300 milligrams
(mg) a day.
You can eliminate all of the cholesterol in eggs by only eating
the egg white. Egg whites contain no cholesterol. You may also
use cholesterol-free egg substitutes, which are made with egg
whites. But remember the vitamins in eggs are mostly found
in the yolk.
Everyone should know their cholesterol level. Talk to your
doctor about having this test.

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.

Lower the Leading Cause of
Childhood Death by Buckling
Them Up Properly
Isleta Health Center
Health Educator Stephanie Barela, 869-4479
Crashes are among the leading causes of kids’ deaths
and injuries. At the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, Dr. Arlene Greenspan says crashes kill about
550 children up to 9 years old, and send about 220,000 to
emergency rooms with injuries
per year.
Dr. Greenspan says safety seats can reduce that, if they
are used properly:
“Parents often move their child into the next stage of
car seat too early. Parents make mistakes in the way
they install car seats. And parents may strap their
children into the car seat too loosely or incorrectly.”
A certified car seat technician can show you how to do it
right. Contact Frances Anchondo, 869-4482, or Stephanie
Barela, 869-4479 to find out if your car seat is properly
installed and to learn how to properly install it.

Indian Health Services Article
As was, and still is her daily
prayer, may God bless our
community and keep us safe.
