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,

Congratulations to Andrew Soliz for receiving his
Associate of Occupational Studies in Automotive
Technology from IntelliTec College

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

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

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
slowed down, we apologize for this inconvenience and
look forward to seeing everyone back on the mat!

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.

Optometry Department
Change to Optical Store Hours

in the eye clinic, our hours for frame selection, glasses
orders, adjustments, and repairs will change starting
Monday July 3, 2017.
Below are the specific changes:
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.
2. Patients will no longer be able to walk back to the
optometry office and will be required to check in at the
front desk.
3. The afternoon store hours are on a first come first
serve basis and is considered a walk-in clinic.
This change will allow the optometry staff to better
