Greeting from the Office

of the Governor

July 2017

NATIVE PRIDE

Ma gu wam

This year’s weather reports record breaking temperatures of 100 degrees. We

want to make sure that our elders are protected against the extreme heat wave.

If you are experiencing problems, contact our office for assistance. Turn your

coolers on and close curtains to keep the sun from generating heat in your home

and make certain to drink plenty of water.

We thank the people of Isleta for attending the Governor’s Feast. Thanks for the

help we received from the Pueblo of Isleta Programs, the families and relatives

that contributed and made the feast successful. The food was plentiful and

everyone in attendance had a great meal. The temperature was extremely hot

and plenty of cold drinks and water were distributed during the dances. Saint

Augustine is the Patron Saint for the Pueblo of Isleta and is honored by taking

him out into the country, and honored with services prior to the procession. We

thank Father George for the services and the people that joined in the procession.

We thank the dance group and War Captains for the dances to honor our Patron

Saint Augustine.

Sunday, June 18th was the feast of Corpus Christi. We thank the farmers and

their families who participated in honoring Saint Corpus Christi.

For the administration and tribal council, it’s business as usual. Currently there

are two projects receiving federal monies to study and make improvements at

the Diversion Dam and at Pottery Mound which is located on the Comanche

Ranch.

The CCD building is nearing completion and we hope to provide an update in

next month’s newsletter.

In closing, I wish every one of you a safe and great Fourth of July Holiday.

Governor J. Robert Benavides.

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Isleta Pueblo News

PROBATE NEWS

DEADLINE for August Newsletter articles is set for

Monday, July 24, 2017 at 4:30pm. 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 whom wish to submit an article or flyer are responsible

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

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

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

you throughout the process. The Library will NOT accept notes

dropped off at the Library or information over the phone 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

HIGHER EDUCATION

Congratulations to Andrew Soliz for receiving his

Associate of Occupational Studies in Automotive

Technology from IntelliTec College

Page 3

She will be graduating with

a degree in Life Science.

Although she had a heavy

load in math & science, the

school has increased her

knowledge & skills in Federal

Indian policies which focuses

on Indian Treaties, Trust

Relationships, and Tribal Sovereignty. These courses are so essential

to the work in Indian Country. Often times, these courses are not

available in bigger universities. She is solid on her knowledge in

Federal Policies and can use her skills in the workforce in Indian

Country.

In her first year, she attended the Summer Medical and Dental

Education Program (SMDEP) at the University of Washington

Schools of Medicine and Dentistry. This program introduced her to

medicine and clinical training. She even tutored aspiring medical

students in bio-statistics. How cool is that! The program opened her

eyes to so many possibilities in medicine.

In her second year, she was selected for an internship with the

University of Washington’s Mahina Cultural Exchange program

in Indigenous Health Research in Hawaii and New Zealand. She

spent the entire summer in New Zealand to study about the Mahina

Tribe. She increased her knowledge in public health and advocated

in cultural sensitivity.

She worked part-time at Lummi’s Early Child Learning Center

teaching students and provided tutoring at the Lummi Middle

School in math and science.

This summer, she accepted an internship with the Swinomish Tribe

in La Conner, WA as a Research Assistant to conduct air quality

research.

In the fall of 2017, she will start working toward her bachelor degree

in Community Health at the Western Washington University in

Bellingham, WA.

Proud parents & Grand Parents!

How can we work together to

support, promote and protect

breastfeeding?

Mom/Baby. Learning to breastfeed and maintaining the breastfeeding

relationship over time takes supportive health care providers, family and

community. Moms can’t do it alone and they shouldn’t have to. Let them

know they have your support.

Partners/Family. Support from family can make or break breastfeeding

for moms and babies. Examine your own feelings and experiences

around breastfeeding. Educate yourself so that you can offer helpful

and knowledgeable advice. Make sure that your tone and language is

encouraging and builds mom up instead of discouraging her from reaching

her goals.

Community. Babies need to nurse anywhere and everywhere. How is your

community supportive of moms nursing in public? If you are not supportive

of moms breastfeeding wherever they may be, you are not supportive of

breastfeeding. Examine your feelings about seeing babies nursing and talk

to other people about how they can support moms when they see them

breastfeeding in public.

Healthcare. Health care professionals should know how to help

breastfeeding moms but sadly many aren't educated in how breastfeeding

works. Ask your health care providers what they know, how they feel, and

how they handle breastfeeding issues. Choose someone to care for you

and baby that will build you up in your breastfeeding journey.

Workplace/Government. There are workplace policies that support

breastfeeding or that make it impossible. Educate yourself about the state

and federal laws that protect a mom’s right to breastfeed in public and

pump in the workplace. If you are an employer ask yourself how your

policies support moms to breastfeed. Can you do more? A great resource

is www.breastfeedingnewmexico.org

World Breastfeeding Week Celebration

Health Beat: Heat and Sun Safety

Shawnee Arciniega, Health Education Intern

www.cdc.gov www.nmhealth.org

505-869-4479 | shawnee.arciniega@islclinic.net

Summer is here! That means fun days under the sun at graduation

parties, barbeques, swimming pools or other outdoor activities. It is

important to practice heat and sun safety to reduce risk of heat stress

or skin damage from the sun. Here are some key tips to remember.

Be Sun Smart

* Wear protective items such sunglasses and a hat to

minimize exposure to the sun.

* Use sunscreen with a minimum of SPF 15 and reapply

every couple of hours, especially when swimming (even

if it’s waterproof). Apply at least 30 minutes prior to any

activity in the sun to allow absorption of the products.

Check the expiration date; after two years, it’s time to

replace it. .

*Stay in the shade or use an umbrella to shield yourself from the sun.

Beat the Heat

* If possible, stay indoors between 10am – 4pm. The sun is at its

highest and hottest point during these hours.

* Avoid areas with a lot of gravel and concrete as they tend to be hotter

than greener areas.

* Stay hydrated! Extra fluids are needed during hot weather.

* NEVER leave children, pets, or the elderly in a car, no matter how

brief. Temperatures within a car can rise 30 to 40 degrees within

minutes on a 90 degree day, even with the windows down.

* If you are concerned about an individual left in a car in Isleta, notify

the Police Department at 505-869-3030.

Risks and Warnings

Overexposure to heat and sun can cause immediate or future problems.

* Heat “illnesses”, like heat exhaustion or stroke, can become serious

very quickly.

* Warning signs include: heavy sweating, weakness, dizziness,

dehydration, or muscle cramps. If body temperature rises over 104

degrees, call 911 immediately.

* Everyone can develop sun burn, regardless of skin tone. Treat sun

burned skin with a cool cloth, soothing lotions or aloe vera.

* Constant exposure to the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays increases the

aging process, risk of skin cancer, and skin discoloration.

* Regularly self-examine skin for unusual moles or suspicious

markings, as they could be a sign of skin cancer. If needed, schedule

an appointment at the Isleta Health Center, 505-869-3200.

Hello summer! I hope you are all staying cool these days. We have been reaching the 100’s

and it is no joke. Please remember to keep yourself and your pets, aka furry family members,

hydrated. If you haven’t got your A/C running yet, come to the Library and hang out with a good

book or magazine and relax. Enjoy our free WIFI which we upgraded with faster speed.

News

The Library will be closed on Tuesday, July

4th in observance of the Fourth of July

Holiday. Be safe and have a great time with

your family.

The Library will continue serving breakfast

and lunch until July 21st. The Summer

Meal Program is for ages 1-18 years

old. Breakfast is served from 8:00am9:00am and lunch is served from 11:30am

to 1:00pm Monday through Friday. All

meals must be eaten at the Library. If you

have any questions please give us call at

505.869.9808.

We have upgraded to a new and faster

WIFI connection. You are now able to

download files faster, stream movies and

stream music with no problem. Passwords

are given at the Library front desk and not

over the phone. Passwords are good for one

day only. We have had our fair share of

technical difficulties with this system thus

far and we would like to thank you for your

patience while we troubleshoot each device.

We hope that you all enjoy the faster WIFI.

Upcoming

Our Summer Reading program is still in

full swing and will end on July 19th. The

junior program will finish off the month

with activities based on the movies UP and

Finding Nemo. Students will earn badges

for participating in different activities

throughout the week of July 10th- July

14th. The youth program will be planning

and building a model of a building which

they felt was missing from the community.

The students will work with Isleta

surveying and mapping to determine the

areas of the community that are available

to build on. They will plan everything

from the design of the building, the rooms,

landscape, location of accessibility, and

much more. Both programs will have a

final performance on July 19th at 5:30pm.

Juniors will be watching a video of what

their stuffed animals and action figures did

the night of their sleepover at the Library

and the youth program will be presenting

their models of buildings they worked on.

Juniors will have their last field trip on July

20th where the Library will be taking them

to Hotel Cascada Water Park and Golden

Corral. Youth will have their last field trip

on July 21st to Cliff’s Amusement Park

and Golden Corral. We had a blast this

summer with the students and hope to see

them for our Homework Help Program.

Our Homework Help Program registration

will begin on August 1st. We will be

accepting 25 students into our program

and it is first come first serve. Students will

receive help on their homework every day.

Students will also get a chance to play on

the Library’s computers, Xbox, and WiiU.

The Library also provides a snack for the

students. Unfortunately we do not provide

one on one tutoring services. If this program

does not fit your child’s needs there are other

afterschool programs in the community

such as the Recreation Center, Department

of Education and the Isleta Elementary

School. If you have any questions about the

Library’s Homework Help Program please

give us a call at 505.869.9808.

Soon the Library will be working on

programs for the community starting in

August. The Library staff has discussed

many program ideas, but we would like

to hear from you! Come into the Library

and write down your suggestions and

drop them into our suggestion box. Some

of the programs we have done in the past

include computer classes, book clubs

for adults, teens, and tweens, painting,

beading, sewing, Do-It-Yourself crafts, food

programs and much more. We appreciate

your suggestions and feedback.

Out with Spring, in comes Summer!

Hello from JOM!!!

Hope everyone is

enjoying their summer break and staying

cool! Here at the JOM Program we know

that continuous learning is important as it

contributes to a successful transition into

the new school year. We are at the half way

point of the Summer Bridge Program. This

program enhances a student’s confidence,

self-esteem and motivation to learn. It’s also

a great opportunity for your child to practice

academic skills and maintain their current

knowledge base. Each student is engaged

in thematic learning that supports reading,

mathematics, and science activities and

includes individualized instruction through

a 6-week period.

but when we thought of Toy Story we only thought of horses.

The Summer Bridge program kicked off on

Monday, June 5, 2017. This year as in years

past the program is offered in two sessions

from June 5 – July 13, Monday-Thursday.

The morning session consists of thirteen

(13) students from Pre-K to 3rd grades

and fifteen (15) students in the afternoon

session from 4th thru 8th grades. This

year’s themes include: All About Me, Health

and Fitness, Science Week with a focus on

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering

and Math) Activities, Nature and Language

& Culture through Animals. We have a

wonderful group of kiddos that are very

enthusiastic and eager to participate in

activities and daily learn!

We know that school just ended but we are

already planning the Back-to-School Supply

Distribution.

Every year the JOM staff hosts mandatory

meetings for parents and legal guardians of

JOM eligible students.

We know it may be challenging on your

schedule which is why we anticipate hosting

a multitude of meetings during the day,

evenings, and the weekend. This is also

a great time for you to get to know us and

the services we provide through the JOM

contract. During the meeting you will

receive a brief overview of JOM, budget

information, eligibility requirements and

learn about services offered to the students.

We will also utilize this time to update your

student’s file. If you are new to JOM, you

will be required to submit your student’s

CIB prior to receiving services which also

includes receiving school supplies. Services

provided through JOM are paid for by

federal dollars.

Currently,

JOM

provides

student

reimbursements. So parents, if your student

is attending summer school, recently

graduated from high school or took their

ACT/SAT, we can help. Students must

provide the JOM program with an original

receipt for items you have paid for, to receive

a reimbursement. All reimbursements

for coursework must be confirmed with a

successful passing grade. We can reimburse

the cost of your student’s cap and gown, up

to fifty percent (50%) of their summer school

and the cost to take the ACT/SAT test. Each

one of the reimbursements has requirements

so either stop by or call the JOM office for an

application or for more information.

If you have any questions, please do not

hesitate to contact us at 505-869-9810.

Enjoy the summer days ahead and we will

see you soon! Marsha and Shelly

RECRECATION

869-9777 or call him at home 866-4360. Classes are Tuesday 5:30pm , Thursday 5:30pm and Friday 5:00pm. Classes are FREE to all

Tribal Members.

J. Jaramillo recently tested and

of Isleta, being congratulated by Mr.

Chavez, the Karate Instructor.

SWIMMING POOL

It is now July and the summer is coming to its hottest point. Come in to

the Aquatics center to cool off and have fun while doing so!

Swim training (lessons) are into the second session this summer. We are

teaching many children to swim within these private swimming lessons.

Make sure to sign up as early as possible to ensure a slot in a session. You

can sign up at any time on our website ( http://isletapueblo.com/aquatics.

html ) and you will be added to our roster. The classes are still a first

come, first served basis and free to all tribal members. Sessions will be

provided as classes fill up and coincide with the availability of staffing.

If you are signed up, please wait until you have finished your session to

sign-up again. If you have any trouble signing-up please feel free to come

by the Aquatics office.

As many people may know, Dante’s Swim Adventures is a program offered

to children during summer recreation hours that teaches kids how to swim,

play games in the water, and ultimately have fun in the pool. If your child

is not in the Summer Rec program and would like to participate, come in

to the pool office and we can sign you up.

Water aerobics has a new time for the summer season! It will now be

offered from 7:00am-8:00am every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. It

continues to be one of our most popular programs as our instructor Cayden

Sharp has created workouts that can be enjoyed by all ages. It is a fun way

to burn calories with your friends while enjoying great music. Come down

and join our growing class!

Last but not least, the summer rec program is getting a lot of use out of

the pool this hot summer season. With that being said it may be difficult

to find the right times to come in when you’d like to miss the rush. In

the mornings 8:00am is a great time to come in for a lap swim or use

the facility as there is not many people in at this time. In the afternoons

starting at 4:00pm is a great time to bring in the family for an afternoon

swim without the pool being too packed.

MMA PROGRAM

With the summer recreation program being so busy and

the Aquatics Center being so packed, the MMA program

offered by Chris Avila has been temporarily suspended.

It will return when the Recreation Center’s traffic has

USSSA Fast Pitch Softball

New Mexico OutKast: (14U) Zoey Abeita, Daughter of Jeremy and

AuDrena Abeita, (12U) Trishelle Anchondo-Lujan, Daughter

of Lorenzo Lujan and Crystal Anchondo, (12U) Aubrey Cherino,

Daughter of Reyes Jiron and Dominic Cherino. The families would like

to thank the Pueblo of Isleta Sponsorship and Donation Committee for

their generous donation to our girls.

The first tournament of the 2017 season was the Rio Rancho Chile

Classic Tournament that was held June 16-18, 2017 in Albuquerque

and Rio Rancho. 14U played against some of the state’s toughest

competitors and athletes, and they competed against an older division

of girls-16U. They did their best, never gave up and will continue to

strive to make every game count. 12U also played against some tough

teams.

Trishelle and Aubrey, (both 12U) played early Sunday morning; in a triple header that led their team to a Championship victory. The

New Mexico OutKast (Blue) team was presented with the First Place Championship Trophy and every player and coach received gold

USSSA Championship rings. The family members of Zoey, Trishelle and Aubrey would like to thank everyone who came out to support

the girls during their first of many games and tournaments.

“And my dad drilled it into my head, you know, ‘If you want it bad enough, and

you’re willing to make the sacrifices, you can do it. But first you have to believe

in yourself.” –Jennie Finch

Isleta Resort and Casino

Guests visiting Isleta Resort & Casino will soon

be greeted by the resort’s new grand entrance.

According to previously shared renderings,

the entrance will contain video screens,

music, updated lighting, and more. The new

entrance, as well as the redesigned Player’s

Club, are expected to reopen by mid-August.

Community members will also get another

look at new renderings for the Resort’s ongoing

construction project, once this is completed.

“In August, we expect to have final drawings

of Triple Sevens Saloon and the new Bingo

facility, which we plan to share with the people

of the Pueblo of Isleta in future newsletters,”

announced Isleta CEO Harold Baugus.

Construction on the resort began in May, 2017.

The project is expected to last approximately

18 months, as the resort sinks its teeth into a

total $40 million renovation.

Guests visiting the Isleta Lakes will also soon

see some major upgrades as well, including a

new RV Clubhouse, which is currently under

construction and expected to be open later

this year. The Lakes also proudly celebrated

a banner year for its annual $10,000 Catfish

Derby. The overwhelming response could

prove to be one of the best years ever for the

marquee event.

Meanwhile, plans are still underway for a

large community celebration. The event will

commemorate the ongoing renovation project,

as well as the resort’s 31st year in operation.

The celebration will likely take place late this

summer or early this fall, and will be open

for all Pueblo of Isleta community members.

Again, keep reading the Pueblo of Isleta

Newsletter, where details will be announced

as they become available.

Isleta Elder Center: June 2017 Recap

With the summer heat rising, the days

are quickly burning away and it’s hard

believe that we already half way through

the year. The Isleta Elder Center would

like to thank everyone for your continuous

support of our program this year. During

the month of June 2017, the Elder Center

was very fortunate to once again host a

number of great events and presentations

through the support of our fellow Pueblo of

Isleta Departments. Events that took place

throughout June were our monthly General

Meeting, Health Discussion, Father’s Day

Cookout, & 2017 National Senior Games

just to name a few.

Each month the Isleta Elder Center hosts a

General Meeting & Health Discussions that

consists of various awareness presentations

for the older adult community of our pueblo.

In June, we were very fortunate to have

the Isleta Environmental Department visit

the Elder Center and present on Mosquito

Awareness. As many of you know, our

community is very close to the Rio Grande

River and has large area of agricultural

land. With large amount water in our area

this year, the mosquito population has

been on the rise. The presentation for the

Environmental Department discussed the

various threats mosquitos can carry as

well as prevention tips on ways to protect

yourself from being bitten this summer.

They also discussed the steps our Pueblo

is currently taking to control the mosquito

population in our community. Thank you to

Ramona Montoya, Ruben Lucero, Hanna

Marie Jiron, & Joe Jojola for taking the

time to put together a great presentation

for elders.

This year the Elder Center is blessed

to have our community’s long time Dr.

Cumby volunteer her time each month to

have a routine Health Discussion. This

past month in June, Dr. Cumby discussed

the importance of Heart Health in older

adults. She gave a great presentation about

how the heart functions, how the heart

changes as we age, and discussed helpful

tips on how to keep our hearts healthy.

These discussions are very informative and

open a great opportunity for participants

to understand the various aspects of our

overall health.

The big event that took place in June

was the Isleta Elder Center Father’s Day

Fishing & Cookout. The Elder Center and

Isleta Lakes collaborated to host a great

day of fishing and food for the fathers of

our community. Participants were offered

a fishing license as well as day full of food,

drinks, and drawings. Throughout the

day participants were able win a number

of great prizes which were donations from

various Pueblo of Isleta departments such

as Social Services, Recreation & Parks,

Environmental, Human Resources, IBC,

and the Isleta Resort & Casino. A very special

“THANK YOU”, to all the departments

and everyone who helped make this event

possible, we are truly blessed to collaborate

with such great programs and staff.

Isleta Senior Olympics:

This year the Isleta Senior Olympics

program had a team of 11 representatives

from our Pueblo participate at the 2017

National Senior Games in Birmingham,

Alabama. These athletes were able to travel

and compete against others from around the

country in various sports with one goal in

mind, to bring home the Gold. Isleta Pueblo

should be proud to have such ambitious

athletes represent our community and

state at such a high level of competition.

We are proud and excited to announce

that the Isleta Pueblo has three athletes

whom were crowned National Champions

at the 2017 National Senior Games. We

also had an athlete bring home the Bronze

and 4th place trophies at the national

level. Congratulations to the 2017 Isleta

National Team on all your hard work and

accomplishments this year. We look forward

on continuing a great year of success at the

2017 NM State Games in Albuquerque, NM.

1. Patients will be able to take care of their optical/

glasses needs Monday-Friday between the hours of

1:00pm to 4:00pm only.
