Governor’s Report

Ma-Gu-wam

Greetings

from

the

Governor’s

Administration. Business here at the office

consists of daily visits from community

members,

business

organizations,

government-to-government agencies and so

forth. All visits are scheduled to meet with

Lieutenants or the Governor depending

on the nature of the meeting. If you have,

any issues or concerns, call 869-3111 to

schedule an appointment.

On Wednesday, September 4, 2019,

the community celebrated our Annual

Feast day with a mass and procession,

Tribal Dance and Feast. On behalf of

the community, I want to thank Chris

Natseway and Margaret Abeita and their

families for their hard work and dedication

in hosting the feast for our Holy Patron

San Augustinito. I also want to express my

appreciation to all the vendors’ displays

of their arts and crafts and food services

made for an enjoyable celebration for all.

We hope you enjoyed the day with family

and friends.

Under my direction, Environment has been

working with Surveying and Mapping,

taking inventory of the abandoned homes

within the village area. They are working

together, reaching out to the families

getting their consent to proceed with

demolition and clean-up of these places.

In these abandoned homes we have found

rodent habitat, evidence of drug use and

graffiti. This is all in effort to improve the

tranquility and safety within our village.

There have been a number of clean-ups

and more are currently being scheduled.

Once the process starts, a number of

departments and programs come together

to do the actual work. Thank you to

Environment, Solid Waste, Surveying and

Mapping, Isleta Pueblo Housing Authority,

Public Works and Parks and Rec.

Plaza renovation projects have begun to

help the Community. Renovations of more

homes will be forthcoming in the village

proper.

Traditional hunt sign-ups will be September

23, 2019 thru October 4, 2019.

Drawing will be held on October 6, 2019 at

the Old Courthouse at 9:00 a.m.

Those that were drawn for the 2018

hunt will not be eligible to apply for

the 2019 hunt

For more information, contact the

Governor’s office Monday thru Friday from

Our next community meeting is scheduled

for Saturday, October 26, 2019 in Ballroom

A, Isleta Resort and Casino. The meeting

will start at 9:00 a.m. and will most likely

to end around noon. I hope to see you there.

Summer months are ending and I hope

that everyone enjoyed the summer. Let

us all give Thanks to the Great Spirit as

we welcome the autumn months, for the

harvest from the fields that reminds us

of the abundance we have been given and

bounty we share with all.

Elderly Elk hunt,

November 1, 2 & 3, 2019

I want to take this moment to give

condolences to the families who have

recently lost their loved ones. I wish you

strength to endure your loss.

May the Great Spirit always guide you and

keep you and your families safe.

Mosquito control update and outlook

Since mid-May 2019, authorized by Tribal Council, Roadrunner Public

Health, Inc (“Roadrunner”) has been under contract with the Pueblo

for mosquito control. Roadrunner has applied pesticide by fogging

(typically at night), by backpack spraying and use of briquettes.

Barriers and turf areas such as ball fields, parks, and grassy areas near

tribal office buildings have been treated. Parks & Rec staff has told

Roadrunner that mosquitos in ball fields and parks are under control.

Fogging will continue until the first low temperature of 55°F in midto late-October approximately. The company conducts mosquito and

water surveys year-round.

Roadrunner provided community members who requested them with

mosquito dunks or briquettes for placement in standing water such as

livestock watering troughs. Each dunk kills mosquitos for 30 days or

longer.

Doctor Paul Sandoval, Roadrunner’s President, says we are “dodging

the viruses.” This year’s viruses of concern in our area have been West

Nile Virus, Saint Louis Virus, and vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV).

While mosquito pressure is dropping as of mid-September, rain and

warm weather favor hatching. To prevent hatching of mosquito eggs

that winter over, Roadrunner will place larvicide wherever breeding

sites and harborage were identified in spring 2019.

If the Pueblo does not extend Roadrunner’s contract for the 2020-2021

year, Roadrunner will stop its activities in May 2020. If extended, we

should notice a huge reduction in the mosquito population after two

continuous years of treatments according to Roadrunner.

Environment Department is reminding community members to

prevent mosquito bites through the proper use of insect repellent. If

using sunscreen at the same time as insect repellent, apply sunscreen

first.

Reports of Roadrunner’s mosquito control applications and related

activities are available at Environment Department offices at 6

Sagebrush Street.

Please stop by or call Environment if you have any questions or

concerns about the Pueblo’s mosquito control program. Contact Ruben

Lucero at 869-9819 or Ramona Montoya at 869-7565.

ISLETA TRIBAL COURT

PROBATION DEPARTMENT

I would like to thank all the community service workers for all the

hard work they have done these past three months. They have cut,

raked, and disposed of weeds, set and cleaned up for events, and

have served food and drinks for the Governor and St. Augustine

Feasts. I would like to also thank the Elders and especially the

Veteran’s Association for their hospitality. Unfortunately, due to

the many requests I have received for elder’s yard clean up, I will

be unable to accept any more requests for the elders at this time. As

we catch up with our previously scheduled elder homes, I will send

out another advertisement.

Thank you,

Christine Abeita,

Community Service Work Supervisor

Tribal Members in Need of

Home Repair and Maintenance

The Isleta Pueblo Housing Authority is required by

policy for tribal members, this includes elders, to

follow specific instructions should a tribal member

need home repair, maintenance or renovation to

your home:

FIRST STEP – SEASONAL OR RENOVATION

APPLICATION.

Obtain a copy of the application from Housing if

you have not already completed an application

within the last THREE years. If there is a change

in property status, you must notify Housing. If

you have an emergency or are in need of seasonal

work such as turning on/off the air conditioner or

furnace, Housing will honor the request on the

condition that you complete your application and

submit all required documents as soon as possible

but NO LONGER THAN ONE YEAR.

WHY IS THIS APPLICATION IMPORTANT?

If you have a major repair such as a roof, or your

home is flooded by a water break, for example,

the application will determine if you qualify for

a “grant” low-income that you are not required to

pay back the cost of the repair, as long as funding

is available. If you are over-income, then you will

be required to enter into a “repayment”, as long as

funding is available. We do have elders that are

over-income!

SECOND STEP - LAND ASSIGNMENT.

You must be the legal owner of the home in need

of work. If the home/property is NOT in your

name, you will need to go to the Survey/Mapping

Department to complete an application to have a

survey done and the home/property transferred

to your name. We understand Survey/Mapping

has a backlog of requests for land transfers and

surveying and they may not get to your request in a

timely manner, which is why Housing is giving you

up to a year for the land assignment to be provided

to Housing.

If maintenance or repair is required for a FAMILY

HOME (meaning there is not a single owner),

Housing will request a notarized statement from

all family members allowing Housing to perform

seasonal work ONLY up to a year. This will be

a repayment. If the house is in Probate, Housing

will not provide any assistance until the ownership

matter is resolved. Housing will not become

involved in any home/property disputes.

THIRD STEP – COMPLETED APPLICATION.

All information MUST be completed on your

application and all required documents provided.

Once your application is reviewed to insure all

documents are provided, your application will be

stamp dated and you will be provided a copy. The

application will then be rated and you will receive

a letter notifying you if you are grant eligible or

must enter into repayments for work requested. All

applications are under lock and key.

FOURTH STEP – FOLLOW UP.

Call Housing within a month or so if you have

not received a letter. Even though you submitted

an application, this does not mean that you have

submitted a work order for work to be done. Only

the top three identified needs will be addressed,

if funding is available. If you have not received a

response within three (3) months for non-emergency

requests, call the Executive Director at 869.4153.

The Pueblo of Isleta Elder Center will assist elders

(60+years of age) throughout the process if need be,

or offer you transportation to any office you may

need to visit in regards to your application. Please

call the Elder Center at 869-9770 to discuss your

needs and/or schedule transportation.

ISLETA POLICE DEPARTMENT NEWSLETTER

Fall is officially here and the

last quarter of the year will

pass very quickly. The little

goblins and ghosts will be

out at the end of the month

and with that in mind we are

asking all to keep a close eye

out on that special night. Here are some

safety tips from the National Safety Council

to keep our little ones safe:

parents – and anyone who plans to be on the

road during trick-or-treat hours:

●

Watch for children walking on

roadways, medians and curbs

●

Enter and exit driveways and alleys

carefully

●

At twilight and later in the evening,

watch for children in dark clothing

●

Discourage

new,

inexperienced

drivers from driving on Halloween

Kids love the magic of Halloween: Trickor-treating, classroom parties and trips

to a neighborhood haunted house. But for

moms and dads, often there is a fine line

between Halloween fun and safety concerns,

especially when it comes to road and

pedestrian safety.

REACHING FOR THE STARS

In 2017, 7,450 pedestrians died in traffic

or non-traffic incidents, according to Injury

Facts. Non-traffic incidents include those

occurring on driveways, in parking lots or

on private property. NSC research reveals

almost 18% of these deaths occurred at road

crossings or intersections. Lack of visibility

because of low lighting at night also plays a

factor in these deaths.

Here's a scary statistic: Children are more

than twice as likely to be hit by a car and

killed on Halloween than on any other day

of the year. In 2017, October ranked No. 2 in

motor vehicle deaths by month, with 3,700.

July is No. 1, with 3,830 deaths.

It’s that time again and this project is

already in the planning stages and the

committee is hard at work to make this one

even more memorable than the last. There

will be meetings held through the month

of October and any donations of gift wrap,

ribbons and package stickers are welcome.

This year’s theme:

More information to come soon. If you

have questions please contact Detective

Kathleen Lucero at the Police Department.

Costume Safety

To help ensure adults and children have

a safe holiday, the American Academy of

Pediatrics has compiled a list of Halloween

safety tips. Before Halloween arrives, be

sure to choose a costume that won't cause

safety hazards.

●

All costumes, wigs and accessories

should be fire-resistant

●

Avoid masks, which can obstruct

vision

●

If children are allowed out after

dark, fasten reflective tape to their costumes

and bags, or give them glow sticks

●

When buying Halloween makeup,

make sure it is nontoxic and always test it

in a small area first

●

Remove all makeup before children

go to bed to prevent skin and eye irritation

When They're on the Prowl

●

responsible

adult

should

accompany young children on the

neighborhood rounds

●

If your older children are going

alone, plan and review a route acceptable to

you

●

Agree on a specific time children

should return home

●

Teach your children never to enter a

stranger's home or car

●

Instruct children to travel only in

familiar, well-lit areas and stick with their

friends

●

Tell your children not to eat any

treats until they return home

●

Children and adults are reminded

to put electronic devices down, keep heads

up and walk, don't run, across the street

Safety Tips for Motorists

NSC offers these additional safety tips for

The new grant year for IHSP begins

October 1, 2019 and officers will be out in

force conducting traffic enforcement for

speed, failure to obey traffic signs/lights,

insurance, registration and valid driver’s

licenses. They will also be looking for

seatbelt violations and children improperly

restraining -- So all drivers and

passengers, please be aware.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH

Detective Kathleen Lucero will be

presenting an Opioid /Heroin Awareness

this month with date and time to be

determined. This is a problem experienced

by many communities everywhere and is

October 2019

affecting the tribal communities too. Please

consider attending when the date and time

is set.

FROM THE CHIEF’S DESK

A new unit has been approved and will be

implemented at the end of 7-8 weeks upon

the return of the K9 handler from training

with his new partner. The K9 will be a

dual-purpose dog not only to be used to

detect drugs but serve as a patrol dog as

well. We will keep you informed.

A Community Policing Project is about to

be launched by the Police Department.

Officers will make contact with community

members to gain perspective and be made

aware of problems observed/experienced by

community members. Brainstorming as to

possible solutions to address these areas

will be done together with the community

member(s) and the Police Department. The

officers will then coordinate resources and

devise a plan which will be implemented and

tested. An evaluation of the effectiveness of

this project will be reviewed and critiqued.

Residents BEWARE! A couple of incidents

have arisen recently in which individuals

are contacting members of the community

informing them they are recipients/winners

in some type of contest. One that has come

up was the winner receives approximately

1.5 million dollars and a new vehicle. THE

CATCH: They are asking the individual for

personal information such as bank account

information, driver’s license information,

date of birth, and even social security

numbers. Please if you have not entered

a contest but are enticed by the so-called

prizes, BEWARE! These individuals will

proceed to tell “the winner” they need to

issue a cashier’s check in a specific amount

but will not give out a recipient company or

name. Keep in mind if they ask for you to

send money – DON’T! You will not receive

those prizes and these individuals may

continue to contact you asking for more

money. If you are contacted by anyone like

this be sure to obtain phone numbers and

names and contact the Police Department.

HEALTH BEAT: PEDESTRIAN SAFETY

National Walk to School Day 2015

For the past several years, the Isleta Elementary

School 6th graders and the Isleta Kindergarteners

have teamed up with the Isleta Health Center

Health Educator to promote National Walk to School

Day. Annually on the first Wednesday of October,

we come together to celebrate the benefits of walking

by encouraging children to walk and bike to school.

On this National Observance, it is also a good time

to teach the students pedestrian safety tips, as a way

to help decrease the risk for pedestrian injuries and

death. Several pedestrians are killed every year.

According to the CDC,

“In 2015, 5,376 pedestrians were killed in traffic

crashes in the United States. This averages to one

crash-related pedestrian death every 1.6 hours.

Additionally, almost 129,000 pedestrians were

treated in emergency departments for non-fatal

crash-related injuries in 2015. Pedestrians are 1.5

times more likely than passenger vehicle occupants

to be killed in a car crash on each trip.”

With these staggering numbers, we know something

needs to be done. So let’s work on decreasing

pedestrian injuries and start to promote pedestrian

safety with our kids. Please share these tips with

your children:

•

BE SEEN

•Increase your visibility at night by:

•Carrying a flashlight/glow stick when

walking.

•Wear reflective clothing or reflective

wristbands.

•Adding lights to your child clothes/costume.

•Wear light colored clothing.

•

FOLLOW SAFETY RULES

•Use the sidewalk when possible.

•Cross at the crosswalk.

•Look left, right, left when crossing the

street and continue looking until you reach

the sidewalk.

•If possible, make eye contact with drivers in

stopped vehicles to ensure they see you

before you cross in front of them.

•Put phones and other devices down when

walking and make sure you watch where

you are going.

•Children under 10 years old should walk

with an adult.

Isleta Cross Country:

The New Isleta Recreation Center hosted their annual Isleta Cross Country

meet on September 14, 2019 at Big Momma Hill. We’re happy to announce

the great turnout we had for this special day. We had attendees from the

following Pueblos: San Felipe, Santa Clara, Laguna, Kewa, and Jemez.

During this event we also had a memorial service for our Jemez Pueblo cross

country teammate we lost just recently due to a tragic car accident after our

Laguna meet the weekend before. We would like to give our most sincere

condolences to the “T“ family from Jemez Pueblo. Our Isleta Governor and

Lieutenants gave a moment of silence and a special prayer for the family that

was lost and also the family who survived the accident. All of the Pueblo

Teammates came together to do a balloon release for the lost Jemez runner.

Our very own Coach Cubs who ran for the 6yr old girl to honor her and

her family, the family was given the 1st place medal as well to honor their

daughter “Taleya Waquie”. Thank you everyone for coming out to support

Pool Constructions News:

We would like to give everyone a current

update on our pool construction. A contractor

had noticed some water seeping up through

the ground while the renovations were

being done. The Recreation and Utilities

Departments are working hard to locate

this leak so that the necessary replacement

for the broken pipe can be made.

Unfortunately, this means the pool will

continue to stay under construction with

the previous construction that started with

the location of the Wet Sauna. We hope to

be up and running as soon as possible to

ensure and provide our Pueblo Community

with the best aquatics experience.

After School Program at the New

Recreation Center:

Welcome back to our Isleta After School

Program! We currently have 30 students

enrolled with our staff this school year.

We offer Homework/Reading during the

first 20 minutes, daily activities, including

gym play and a monthly fieldtrip. We will

continue to introduce the children to our

native language with Tiwa Time. During

this time of the program we will be teaching

basic words, greetings and a few everyday

phrases. The children have designed a

wall with Minions for their 1st welcome

day back. Other activities they have done

are painting, smore project, slime making,

crystal making with borax, weaving with

nature, scavenger hunts, and a walking

rainbow science project. The After School

Program attended a fieldtrip to see Angry

Birds 2 and dinner at 66 Diner. Our next

fieldtrip is to Cool Springz and dinner at

Dion’s. At this time, we have reached our

max capacity for our program and there is a

waiting list for the program.

Weathers of the Gracie Barra Los Lunas Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Academy

students.

All Isleta community members are welcome to try a class anytime. Youth classes are on Tuesday & Thursday from 5 pm to

6 pm and Adult classes are on Tuesday & Thursday from 6 pm to 7 pm in the Aerobics room. The IBJJ is always seeking

and accepting new members.

Quick Facts:

• Cigarette butts are toxic to our ocean animals and to us.

• Cigarette filters are made of cellulose-acetate, which is

not biodegradable.

• According to San Diego State University Public Health

Professor Tom Novotny, “Even one butt in a liter of water can

kill the fish in a period of 96 hours.”

• Ocean animals like crabs and salmon can then filter

toxins into their systems and transmit the toxins to humans

when the animals are eaten.

• Over time these toxins can affect human health.

It is time to stop the “Butt Cycle.” There needs to be a shift

in individual and collective thinking to classify cigarette butts

as toxic waste and they should be disposed of in a way that

does not hurt our environment.

Hello to everyone,

I hope everyone had a great September. On September

11, 2019 it was a busy day for the managers and kitchen

staff here at the Isleta Elder Center as we prepared for

our Annual Benefits and Resource Fair.

I have got to say, it was one of the best ones yet. We had

over 80 attendees. We had presentations on Medicare,

Medicaid, and Social Security.

These topics are

important to our Community members who will begin

to reach the age of 65.

Everyone was served a delicious meal made by our

kitchen staff. They enjoyed Chicken/Shrimp Skewers

with Ginger Rice, Sandia Salad and a delicious Fruit

Tart.

I know that Medicare is a huge topic…..if you left

here with unanswered questions or need to get more

information on Medicare, please do not hesitate to

contact me.

Tips For Keeping Your Child Safe

From Prescription Drug Abuse

YOU HOLD THE KEY TO YOUR

CHILD'S DRUG-FREE FUTURE

With National Lock Your Meds Day happening

in October, it is the perfect time to remember

tips to help prevent prescription drug abuse.

Please discuss these tips with your family &

friends.

1. LOCK YOUR MEDS

Prevent your children from abusing your

own medication by securing your meds in

places your child cannot access.

2. TAKE INVENTORY

Download your Home Medicine Inventory

Card, write down the name and amount of

medications you currently have and regularly

check to see that nothing is missing.

3. EDUCATE YOURSELF & YOUR

CHILD

Learn about the most commonly abused types

of prescription medications (pain relievers,

sedatives, stimulants and tranquilizers).

Then, communicate the dangers to your

child regularly; once is not enough.

4. SET CLEAR RULES & MONITOR

BEHAVIOR

Express your disapproval of using

prescription drugs without a prescription.

Monitor your child's behavior to ensure that

the rules are being followed.

5. PASS IT ON

Share your knowledge, experience and

support with the parents of your child's

friends. Together, you can create a tipping

point for change and raise safe, healthy and

drug-free children.

6. PROPERLY DISPOSE OF OLD AND

UNUSED MEDICATIONS

Gather any unused or expired medication and

take them to the Isleta Police Department to

properly dispose of them.

7. WHAT TO DO IF YOUR CHILD

ALREADY HAS A PROBLEM

If you suspect your teen is using drugs, do

Chronic and Acute Conditions

Arthritis, Diabetes, Alcoholism, and Addiction are

all examples of chronic conditions that require

regular attention. Addiction to alcohol and/or drugs

is primarily a physical disease or disorder. It is a

chronic condition that when left untreated causes a

ripple effect to the person with the addiction as well

as to family and community.

An acute condition, on the other hand, is a condition

that can be cured or “fixed”. For example, an individual

suffering from appendicitis has the infected appendix

removed and the acute condition of appendicitis is

cured.

What happens to the diabetic who does not take

medication as prescribed or does not pay careful

attention to diet and exercise? This person would

probably become very sick and might even need

hospitalization - the diabetes can be treated but not

cured.

Some people with alcohol or drug problems are able to

get sober through a counseling or residential treatment

program but then return to alcohol or drug use right

away. Why does this happen? Addiction is a chronic

condition that requires treatment and attention but has

no cure. This attention includes ongoing counseling,

recovery support in the community, and active

involvement in a support group. What happens to the

alcoholic/addict who does not pay careful attention

to this chronic condition? Relapse to alcohol or drug

use is highly likely because addiction is a chronic

condition that is treatable but is not curable.

The chronic condition of alcoholism/addiction has

a devastating ripple effect on children, parents,

communities, and nations. If you or someone you know

has a problem with alcohol or drugs, remember that

this chronic condition requires ongoing attention to

minimize the damage and help improve the overall

quality of life. There is help…

WE ARE HERE TO SERVE

Isleta Health Center Team

Let’s Talk About Infection Prevention

“Vaccines are everyone’s Business”.

October 11-19 is International Infection

Prevention week. The Isleta Health Center

is proud to play a crucial role in infection

prevention. The IHC staff play a role in patient

safety by having an Infection Prevention and

Clinical Safety Committee (IP&CS). One way

the IHC is raising an awareness is by following

international infection prevention guidelines,

“Vaccines are Everyone’s Business”. The IP

& CS is raising awareness this month in the

important role vaccines play in preventing

serious, sometimes deadly, diseases across

the lifespan.

It is every patient, employee, and community

member’s

business

learn

about

immunizations and how they play a role

in eliminating and preventing diseases.

We encourage all patients and staff to get

immunized. Immunizations protect us against

disease and boost our immune system to

protect against diseases.

Measles is so contagious that if one person

has it, then up to 90% of the people around

will also become infected if they are not

protected.

The MMR (Measles, Mumps, and Rubella)

vaccine protects against three diseases:

measles, mumps, and rubella. The first dose

is given at 12-15 months and the second dose

is given at 4-6 years of age. It is given later

than some other childhood vaccines. Measles

is a very contagious disease. It is caused by

a virus. It spreads through the air when an

infected person coughs or sneezes. The virus

can stay in the air for up to 2 hours after an

infected person was there. A patient can get

infected by simply being in a room where an

infected person once was.

Some of the signs and symptoms of measles

are that it starts with a fever, then it causes a

cough, runny nose, and red eyes. Then a rash

of tiny, red spots break out. It starts at the head

and spreads to the rest of the body.

If you would like more information on

immunizations please visit:

https://www.cdc.gov/measles/vaccination.html

or https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/parents/

or https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/schedules/

If you are not sure if your child or yourself are

up to date, please contact Isleta Health Center,

WIC NOTES

Cavity Keep Away

Dental health is important for everyone, including

pregnant women and infants.

Did you know you can catch a cavity?

Cavities are made by germs in our mouth that feed

on the sugar we eat.

The germs can pass from person to person

through spit.

Keep the mouth germs away and you’ll

keep the cavities away!

Here are a few ideas to keep those cavity

causing germs away.

√ Visit your dentist during pregnancy. Dental

treatment is safe.

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

and right before bed.

√ Clean pacifier and bottle with soap and water,

not spit.

√ Give only water in the bottle at bedtime.

√ First tooth-> baby gets her own toothbrush.

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

fluoride toothpaste every time you brush

your baby’s teeth.

√ Take baby to dentist before his first birthday.

√ Each family member uses his or her own

toothbrush, spoon, fork and cup.

√ Choose gum or mints that have Xylitol

(Zy-lih-tall) in them.

√ Health foods help keep cavities away.
