Governor’s Report

Ma ku wam

Greeting to everyone! I hope that you all

are enjoying the wonderful weather. It is

great to see that the summer programs

have gotten off to a good start and that we

are able to provide these services to our

community.

I wish to thank all the families and friends

who helped to make our Governor’s Feast a

wonderful event. The day was abundant

with relatives, friends and plenty of good

food.

Also, thank you to the various

departments who provided assistance with

the preparations for the Governor’s Feast.

The Feast of Kateri Tekawitha will be

celebrated on Sunday, July 14, 2019 at Saint

Augustine Church, with mass scheduled at

9:00am. A feast will be held after mass in

the Religious Education Building, so please

come out and join us for this celebration of

faith.

The Isleta Tribal Council is initiating a

project for the building of hornos for people

who live in the main village (village proper).

The plan is to hold a lottery for the first two

projects. Each person selected must: 1)

submit their name at the Governor’s Office

by July 19, 2019; 2) must reside in the

village proper where the horno will be built.

Only one horno will be built per household.

Two projects will be selected for the first

drawing.

Recently, we have been experiencing

problems with door-to-door sales people on

the reservation. At this time, we are not

issuing any vendor permits for this type

of sales. Make certain to safeguard your

financial and personal information until you

know the validity of the sales company. If

you are uncertain of visitation by any sales

people or feel that you have been scammed,

please call the Isleta Police Department at

505 869-3030.

There are a couple of agencies that have

legitimate business within the reservation

who may come by your home and these

are: US Department of Agriculture for the

Agricultural Census and the US Census

Bureau. Please make certain to check

the credentials or identifications of these

people.

I am hopeful that this newsletter reaches

you in time, before the 4th of July Holiday.

Fireworks are a great part of the celebration,

and this year only “legal” fireworks will

be allowed. Fireworks that are marked

“Caution” are considered legal (read the

package labels for warning). Fireworks are

not allowed in the mountains, rangelands or

bosque areas and will be strictly enforced.

Any damages or run-away fire caused by

fireworks will be the financial liability of

the responsible adult. Call 505 869-3030

Isleta Police Dispatch to see if it is a burn

or no-burn day.

Firework Safety - If you must use

fireworks, please follow these firework

safety tips:

• Fireworks should not be used on

"Red Flag Warning" days, as these days

indicate extreme risk for fires. To keep

current, go to www.weather.gov

• What and where to buy -Always buy

fireworks from local vendors.

• Have a water source close by

• Supervision - Always have an adult

present and never allow children to use

fireworks.

• Use caution - Always use fireworks

outdoors on a paved area clear from

homes, trees, vegetation, and other

combustible materials.

• Follow directions - Always read and

follow directions carefully. Only light

one firework at a time then move away

quickly.

• Disposal - Dispose of used fireworks

in a bucket of water.

• Do not attempt to make your own

fireworks. Homemade fireworks (for

example, ones made of the powder

from several firecrackers) can lead

dangerous

and

unpredictable

explosions.

In closing, I wish you all a happy and safe

4th of July holiday.

Max A. Zuni - Governor

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

DEADLINE for August Newsletter articles is set for

Tuesday, July 23, 2019, at 4:30 pm. Articles may be dropped

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.

People who 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 who will help you throughout

the process. The Library will NOT accept notes dropped off at the

Library or information over the phone to generate your article.

PROBATES need to be published in the Newsletter for two

consecutive months. Probates are considered court documents,

therefore, all submitters must provide: 1) Name of Deceased, 2)

Date of Deceased 3) Court Case # and 4) Date of Court Date. A

Probate form can be found on the Newsletter Archive page at

http://www.isletapueblo.com/newsletters.html .

CLASSIFIED ADS: The new administration has requested that

the Newsletter start a Classified Ad section for Tribal members

selling land, houses, mobile homes, vehicles, and farm equipment.

Leasing of houses and mobile homes will be accepted. Smaller

items which can be sold at the local flea markets or weekly yard

sales will NOT be accepted.

Currently, this service is FREE to Tribal members. Land, houses,

and mobile homes must be within the reservation boundaries.

Ads must meet the 160 character limit. Ads that exceed the 160

characters will NOT be submitted into the Newsletter. A single

picture may be submitted with the ad. Submitters of classified

ads are responsible for generating their own ads as this is a FREE

service.

As a reminder, Tribal business owners may submit a small

flyer at no charge. Like the classified ads, business owners are

responsible for generating their own flyers as this is a FREE

service.

Classified ads and business flyers will be posted no more than

two consecutive months. In the event where the Newsletter may

exceed the 24-page limit, classified ads and business flyers will be

“bumped” for newsletter articles. Again, this is a FREE service

for Tribal members.

The Isleta Newsletter is owned and operated by the Pueblo of

Isleta. Therefore, the Governor of the Pueblo of Isleta has the

final say of all articles and contents within the Isleta Newsletter.

For additional questions, you may call the Library and speak

with Nate or Tara at 505.869.9808.

Thank you,

Nathaniel Lujan

ISLETA RESORT & CASINO

Sports Betting is expected to begin very soon

at Isleta Resort & Casino, with the resort’s

temporary sports betting venue set to open

in the coming weeks. Though it’s expected to

be met with long lines of eager players, the

location is only permanent while crews work to

complete a permanent Sports Book & Bar, set

to open later this year.

Meanwhile, construction of the all new Food

Court at Isleta Resort & Casino is ramping up

this month as well, as crews work to complete

the Chile Ristra, Fat Burger, and Panda

Express. Guests can look forward to the new

space opening in August.

Ensuring all of the Resort’s new venues are

fully staffed has been a challenge of its own.

The Resort stepped up its recruiting efforts this

summer, and so far, the results are paying off.

“We began the summer with more than 150

open positions across the Resort. Our two most

recent job fairs were incredibly successful, and

we’ve made a big dent in that need. However, we

are still in a hiring mode and we invite qualified

candidates to apply to join our team,” said Isleta

Resort & Casino CEO Harold Baugus.

The Resort touts its competitive pay, engaging

atmosphere, and employee perks as incentives.

For a complete listing of available jobs and to

apply, please visit www.isleta.com .

START OF SNAKE SEASON

"BE ON THE LOOKOUT" URGES

NEW MEXICO POISON CENTER

It's snake season in New Mexico, and the New

Mexico Poison and Drug Information Center has

some tips to keep you safe:

Always be aware of your surroundings.

Walk in areas where the ground is clear

so you can see where you step.

• Be aware of where you sit especially in

shady areas.

• Wear protective clothing, such as long

pants and hiking boots.

• Wear gloves when using your hands to

move brush or rocks.Don't reach into

cracks in rocks, animal burrows or

under bushes.

• Don't walk around at night or sleep on

the ground - snakes are most active

at night.

• Don't tease, kill or handle a rattlesnake.

• If you encounter a snake, don't panic or

blindly run away. Look carefully where

you are going

• Call the New Mexico Poison Center for

poisoning emergencies, questions

Robotics - Coding & Lego

Connects in July

Summer School at the Albuquerque Academy has

been a wonderful experience for our students. It is

awesome to see many of our students energized and

excited about learning, and ready to go back the

next day.

Thank you parents for making a difference in your

sons’ and daughters’ education.

Kids develop better social skills and show improved

behavior when their parents are involved at school.

Research shows that parent involvement can help

improve the quality of schools, and raise teacher

morale.

Please review your son/daughter's theme for the

week and note the field trip days. Please talk with

teachers, parents are always welcome to chaperone

on our field trips.

July 1st — 5th there will be no summer program,

enjoy the week and come back energized for more

technology and learning.

Wednesday, July 17th, we will have "Open House

from 3:00 — 4:30 for Johnson O'Malley and the

Language Program at the Isleta Elementary School.

Projects will be displayed along with several dance

presentations in the gymnasium at 3:45. All projects

can be taken home after our open house. Thursday,

July 18th will be the last day of our summer program.

All students and staff will be off to see an afternoon

game at the Isotopes Stadium.

Have a happy and safe summer! Get rested and ready

to go in August! Thank you for making a difference

in your child's education.

Marian Serna, Director

Introduction to Robotics and Coding

July 8-10, 2019

Codetalkers is partnering with the Department

of Education and its summer program to offer

students a new course, "Introduction to Robotics

and Coding."

This week-long program in July will provide

3rd to 8th-grade students an opportunity to set

up and program their own robot with step-bystep instructions and examples of programming

processes.

Students will pair in teams of two and work together

on the app-enabled robot Sphero SPRK+ using

its draw and drive commands as well as scratch

blocks. The 6th-8th graders will also be introduced

to more advanced coding using JavaScript

commands.

These hands-on courses will provide students

a foundation on how robots work, how they are

programmed and provide resources to encourage

continued learning in coding.

After July, this partnership will extend beyond the

summer program to older grades and professional

development for tribal school teachers and

administration. This is a meaningful partnership

between Codetalkers and the Pueblo of Isleta as

the co-founders are both tribal members.

The Isleta Recreation hosted the annual N.A.C.A. Pow-Wow. We had many visitors

come in to watch to the dancers perform and listen to the music. It was an all-day

event with concession selling delicious fry bread!!

Parks and Recreation Crew: The crew has been a doing awesome job cleaning up the Isleta Head Start area, keeping up

with the baseball fields and other projects that were added for the summer.

Summer Recreation Program News:

Two weeks into the

summer

program!!

Children are doing a lot

here at Summer Rec.

They have done science

activities such as tiedying shirts, lava lamps,

making volcanoes, and

slime making. Children

learned how to make

cupcakes, brownies, rice

crispies treats, and their

favorite smores!! Other

crafts they have made are bird houses by using their milk cartons from lunch, paracords

bracelets, and pottery making. Children have been to several fieldtrips such as the Natural

History Museum, Explora, Ninja Force, Dollar Movies, and to Cliff’s. While the children are

here at the Rec, they are doing different types of exercises and games with our Fitness team,

Thomas and Kyle. The children have been getting some Tiwa time with their groups and are

picking up a few words every day.

Groups 4 & 5/6 & 7: Science Days: Children

learned the process of mixing a concoction to

erupt a volcano. They also learned that lava

rocks come from the volcanoes and that we

use them to build our bread ovens. Another

science project was making tie dying shirts.

Children were able to add colors and twist

the shirt it into a spiral form and see the

final product.

The younger groups had the opportunity

to hear two stories from Governor Zuni

when they visited during their nature

walk to the Governor’s office.

Kenny Thomas visits Rec Program:

We had a very special visitor in our facility on Monday, June 10th. Kenny Thomas, former Lobo Men’s basketball and NBA player

visited the Summer Rec Program and talked with our participants. He answered lots of questions that the kids had such as, have you

played against Michael Jordan? He answered with, “yes!” They also asked if he played against the very popular Stephen Curry, however

Kenny Thomas has been retired from the NBA for a number of years but he did play against his father, Dell Curry. We are very grateful

that the kids received this amazing opportunity!

Annual Summer Rec Program Training:

Our summer training for the youth WIAO and regular Rec. staff consisted of First

Aid & CPR training with the Isleta Casino & Resort, defensive driving with the Isleta

Police Department, and Good Touch / Bad Touch discussions with the Social Services

Department. We also went over cleaning techniques and schedules for the Recreational

Center and its many activity vans. WIAO workers went over the summer calendar

activities with the Recreational leads in an effort to help create a smooth operational

summer recreation program.

Recap

The first day of Summer Reading Program

can be nerve racking for our Junior

program but this year our students were

very independent considering they are

only between the ages of 3-6 years old.

The Library staff presented the rules and

made them feel comfortable by playing

games such as hot potato and playing with

a variety toys. They have been working on

two cardboard projects for the month of

June. Their first cardboard project was a

kitchen set including a refrigerator, sink,

and stove. They were able to help design and

put it together with duct tape, cardboard

and paint. Their second cardboard project

was making a cardboard car. They were

able to customize it with their painting

skills and added steering wheels on their

box cars. At the end of the month of June

they celebrated their new set of wheels

with a “drive in movie” at the library and

snow cones. They will be taking their final

field trip on July 25th to the South Valley

Aquatics Center and Dion’s.

Our Youth Program for ages 7-14 have

been working in their group curriculums

and reading groups. We separate our

reading groups by age which gives us the

opportunity to find a book in their reading

level. The students read 30 minutes each

day and then break up into their groups of

interest. This year we had 5 curriculums for

students to choose from during registration:

Animals, Art, Film, Cooking and Travel.

For their first major field trip they went to

Main Event and had lunch at Fuddruckers.

They were able to mingle with everyone

and make new friends. Below are updates

from each group.

Art: Our Art Group has worked on three

projects so far and their creative side is

shining. They went on a mini field trip to

Bosquejos to learn Acrylic 101 and enjoyed

a Frappuccino’s.

Cooking: Our Cooking group has been

working on many recipes since they started

and have been adding them to their recipe

books. They also learned about different

spices and how to use them.

The group also learned how to make a comic strip which are featured

in this month’s newsletter.

Film: Our Film group has been learning played soccer, and made Italian Cream

how to do Tutorials. So far they have done Soda.

two challenges and filmed it and took a field

trip to Empire Board Game Library in Nob

Hill to film and give it a review. Videos will

be available to view on our Library YouTube

Channel: youtube.com/user/poilibrary.

Travel: Our Travel Group has traveled to

Great Britain. They learned the culture,

had a Tea Party, played tennis, and had a

Harry Potter Day. They also visited Italy

and learned the language, made pizza,

Animals: Our Animal group learned

about Shelter Animals and why they end

up in the Shelter. The students made

blankets to donate to pets in need at the

Bernalillo County Animal Care Services.

They finished off the month learning about

Pets. They made a Pet Safe book of the do’s

and don’ts of having a pet what their pets

can and cannot eat.

Fall Prevention

Remembering When Curriculum,

CDC/National Fire Protection Agency

Stephanie Barela, Health Educator, 869-4479

Have you ever fallen, or known someone who has fallen?

Whether you were injured or not, you could develop

of fear of falling, which could cause you to limit your

activities, which leads to reduced movement or mobility

and loss of physical fitness, which in turn increases your

actual risk of falling (CDC). Falls are the most common

cause of nonfatal injuries and hospital admissions for

trauma, which actually can be prevented. Falls are

usually an accident that could have been prevented. The

“Remembering When” curriculum, from the National

Fire Protection Agency, informs people the importance

of fall and fire prevention, there is a list of Fall Messages

that may help people prevent being-injured from falls.

Please review these tips to help lower you chances

of being-injured in a fall:

1. Exercise Regularly:

a. Exercise builds strength and improves your

coordination and balance.

b. Tai Chi is exercise that has been proven to help

reduce fall risk.

c. Ask your doctor about the best physical exercise

for you.

2. Take your time.

a. Get out of chairs slowly.

b. Sit a moment before you get out of bed.

c. Stand and get your balance before you walk.

d. Be aware of your surroundings.

3. Keep walking areas and stairs clear.

a. Be sure to remove electrical cords, shoes,

clothing, books, magazines, clutter.

4. Improve the lighting around your home

a. Use nightlights to light the path between your

bedroom and bathroom.

b. Turn on the lights before using the stairs.

c. See an eye specialist once a year.

• Keep flashlights or battery-operated lanterns

close by.

• Make sure outdoor walkways are brightly lit

at night.

5. Use non-slip mats in the bathtub.

a. Use non-slips mats on shower floors.

b. Have grab bars installed on the wall in the tub

and shower and next to the toilet.

c. Wipe up spills immediately

6. Be aware of uneven surfaces around the home.

a. Throw rugs must have rubber, non-skid

backing.

b. Smooth out wrinkles and folds in carpeting.

c. Be aware of uneven sidewalks and

pavement outdoors.

d. Ask a friend to clear ice and snow from stairs

and walkways.

e. Use handrails when available.

7. Stairways.

a. Stairways should be well lit from both top and

bottom.

b. Have easy to grip handrails installed along the

full length of both sides of the stairs.

8. Wear sturdy, well-fitting shoes.

a. Low-heeled shoes with non-slip soles are the

best.

b. These are safer than high heels, thick-soled

athletic shoes, slippers or stocking feet.

JOHNSON O’MALLEY

We are hoping that all our families and

students are having a fabulous summer. Our

end of the year bash was a success! Thank

you to everyone who came out to collect their

five free books from the JOM literacy night.

Thank you Darryl Anzara for providing

yummy Piccadilly’s to our families.

This year the JOM program has incorporated

a STEAM curriculum for the Summer

Bridge program. We have done some fun

experiences in the past few weeks, students

have done projects such as “Protect Yourself”

where they had to create a safe cushion,

using particular recycled materials for

their egg and drop it at the same distance

to see if their cushion protected their egg.

Another project that was “smooth as ice”, a

group of students made their own fudge and

had to test their cooling rate to see which

fudge created crystals faster, the one in the

freezer or the one in the refrigerator. We also

attended the New Mexico Museum of Natural

History and Science for science week. While

at the museum the students were able to go

into the Planetarium to watch a show about

the “Little Star That Could”, and the Dyna

Theater to watch “Volcanos Alive” in 3D.

We are looking forward to our upcoming weeks of Summer Bridge where our students will be doing technology with LEGO education to

learn robotics. The program will also be heading to Santa Fe to visit Meow Wolf during art week.

UV Safety

Awareness Month

https://www.va.gov/QUALITYOFCARE/

education/UV_Safety_Awareness_Month.asp

Tanya Garcia, Isleta Health Center Optometry

Summer has arrived and while the sun is shining

bright, it's a golden time to highlight July as UV

Safety Awareness Month!

We all love to take in those warm summer rays,

but everyone must remember to protect their skin

and eyes from the damaging effects of the sun.

The sun emits radiation known as UV-A and UV-B

rays. Both types can damage your eyes and skin:

• UV-B rays have short wavelengths that reach

the outer layer of your skin

• UV-A rays have longer wavelengths that can

penetrate the middle layer of your skin

By learning the risks associated with too much

sun exposure and taking the right precautions

to protect you and your family from UV rays,

everyone can enjoy the sun and outdoors safely.

Here are the harmful things unprotected sun

exposure can do:

• Cause vision problems and damage to your

eyes

• Suppression of the immune system

• Premature aging of the skin

• Skin cancer

Fortunately, there are things you can do to

minimize the risk that comes with sun exposure.

1. Cover Up: Wearing a Hat (preferably wide

brimmed) or other shade-protective clothing can

partly shield your skin from the harmful effects

of UV ray exposure. Proper clothing may include

long-sleeved shirts, pants, hats, and Sunglasses for eye protection.

2. Stay in the Shade: The sun's glare is most

intense at midday. Staying in the shade between

the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. will further protect

your skin. The sun can still damage your skin on

cloudy days or in the winter. For this reason, it is

important to stay protected throughout the year.

3. Choose the Right Sunscreen: This is

extremely important. The U.S. Food and Drug

Administration's (FDA) new regulations for

sunscreen labeling recommend that your sunscreen

have a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15,

and should protect against both Ultraviolet A (UVA) and Ultraviolet B (UV-B) rays.

4. Use the Right Amount of Sunscreen:

According to the National Council on Skin Cancer

Prevention, most people apply only 25-50 percent

of the recommended amount of sunscreen. When

out in the sun, it is important that you apply at

least one ounce (a palm full) of sunscreen every

two hours. You should apply it more often if you

are sweating or swimming, even if the sunscreen

is waterproof.

By taking the proper precautions and following

this advice, you and your loved ones can enjoy

the sun. If you are having any problems after

being in the sun, be sure to talk to your healthcare

provider.

Enjoy the outdoors this summer and

remember to protect your eyes and

the skin you are in!
