Prep Spotlight: Haley Benjamin is a natural in the pool

The Isleta Pueblo News (Newsletter) has been granted permission by the Durango Herald (DurangoHerald.com) to share this article of

Haley Benjamin. Article published Mar 28, 2016

Benjamin ‘just gets it’ in the pool,

prepares for strong future

Photo by: Jerry McBride/Durango Herald

At 15 years-old, Haley Benjamin of Animas

High School already owns a pool record

at Colorado Mesa University in Grand

Junction.

By Joe Fries Herald staff writer

It takes some of us years to realize our

talents. Finding the thing we love, the thing

we are naturally good at, is an important

search for all of us, though it may take

years to reveal itself.

While it might have taken Animas High

School sophomore Haley Benjamin a bit

longer than her peers to figure out what

she’s good at, it didn’t take long for anyone

to see that she’s a natural.

At 15, Benjamin is already a decorated

swimmer for the Durango Swim Club. She’s

been crowned twice as a Colorado state

champion.

As a 14-year-old, she set a record at an

NCAA Division II university’s pool that

still stands.

She’s been to Junior Nationals and is

pushing toward qualifying for the Olympic

trials this summer in the 400 freestyle. The

most amazing thing about Benjamin is that

she hasn’t even been swimming for five

years. She’s just getting her feet wet.

“I kind of just stumbled upon it because I

had a friend who swam at the time, and

I just started going with her when I was

about 11,” Benjamin said. “I started going to

meets and I realized that this is something

I like to do. When I started really enjoying

it, I began improving and learning more. I

don’t want to say it was easy for me, it was

just something I was able to do naturally.”

At the 2014 Western Slope Championships,

Benjamin won the 400 Individual Medley,

200 freestyle and 100 freestyle. She was

also the 13-14 year-old state champion in

the mile swim and the 500 meter freestyle.

In the same year, at age 14, she broke

the 500 freestyle record at Colorado Mesa

University’s pool. The record she broke was

held by a collegiate swimmer, and none of

the NCAA Division II women swimmers

have bested her effort since.

she goes to the Olympic Trials in Omaha

later this year. No matter what happens,

Benjamin knows she’s where she belongs.

“I think a lot about what my life would

be like if I never discovered swimming,”

she said. “When it gets tough, it’s easy to

convince myself to stick with it because

swimming is just what I’m good at.”

“My dad pointed out the time and told me to

go for it,” Benjamin said. “I thought he was

just joking around, but when it was over and

I actually broke the record, I didn’t know

what to think. I’d never done anything like

that, so it was neat. They took my picture

and I have a plaque up there.”

In 2015, Benjamin qualified for the

Swimming Junior Nationals in San Antonio.

For someone with a lot of raw talent, but

a bit light on experience, the trip was

about much more than results in the pool.

Benjamin was just getting comfortable on

the bigger stage.

“I just remember everyone being so serious

and I think the nerves affected me a bit,”

said Benjamin, the daughter of Arin and

Gwin Benjamin. “It was like a professional

meet with the stands full of people and

nobody was messing around. By the time

it was over, I realized that these were the

types of meets that I wanted to be at so I

better start taking it a bit more seriously.”

Along with her state championship mile

time and Colorado Mesa pool record, she

has been selected to the Colorado All-Star

Team and is a zone, sectional and Junior

National qualifier.

Earlier this year, she was asked to attend

an invite-only meet at the University of

Denver, where she placed second in the 200

butterfly and first in the 400 and 800 meter

freestyle.

“The consistency of her work ethic is

something really special about Haley,”

Durango Swim Club head coach Alex

Martinek said. “She doesn’t miss a practice

and if there’s any a time when we don’t meet

as a team, I know she’ll be putting in the

work on her own. Her technique is perfect

and she loves to race. She just gets it.”

Benjamin and the Durango Swim Club

will be in Arizona this weekend for an

open water race, but an upcoming meet in

Colorado Springs will play a role in whether

Community Garden

May, 2016

Planting season is finally here!!! The community

garden is coming along thanks to the continued

donations and volunteers. We planted our first

crop on May 24, 2016 using the lasagna gardening

method which consist of layering clay, leaves, manure

and other soil amendments then created a moisture

retainer with alfalfa/straw and mulch. This process

provides a sponge like bed full of organic matter and

moisture; an ideal home for vegetables. Although it

feels late in the season to plant, careful observation

of the weather system strongly suggests we are

about one month behind in season evidenced by high

winds and large temperature fluctuations throughout

the month of May. Soon we will be informing the

community about when we will plant. A lot of work

has gone into the community garden and the hope is

we will continue to receive support.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed in your

own unique way!

The community garden planning committee meets

every Tuesday at 3:00 pm in the community garden.

All are welcome to attend. Come dressed and prepared

to garden!

We are still asking for the following *donations to

make our soil and provide protection from the weather:

1.

2.

1.

2.

3.

Leaves

Old hay, straw, or alfalfa bales (the kind that

cannot be fed to animals)

Grass clippings

Any berry transplants

Any fruit bearing or nut bearing tree

transplants

*For your convenience we can pick up any donations

just give us a call!!

The community garden is also a great place to secure

community service hours!!

Please call (505) 869-5475 and ask to speak to Jennifer

Padilla for more information about the community

Lung Cancer: Myths and Facts

Myth: If You've Smoked for Years, the Damage Is Done

Fact: It's never too late to stop smoking. Quitting

has almost immediate benefits, including improved

circulation and lung function. Risk of lung cancer begins

to decline over time. Ten years after quitting, former

smokers cut their risk of developing lung cancer by up

to 50%.

Myth: Low-Tar or 'Light' Cigarettes Are Safer Than

Regular

Fact: Light, ultra-light, and low-tar are just as dangerous

as regular cigarettes. And beware of menthol: Some

research suggests that menthol cigarettes may be more

dangerous and harder to quit. Their cooling sensation

can allow smokers to inhale more deeply.

Myth: Smoking Marijuana Doesn't Increase Lung

Cancer Risk

Fact: Marijuana smoking may increase lung cancer

risk, but more research is needed. Many people who

use marijuana also smoke cigarettes, and there is

some evidence that the combined use may increase a

smoker’s risk for lung cancer even more.

Myth: Antioxidant Supplements Protect You From

Cancer

Fact: Based on population studies, a diet rich in fruits

and vegetables with antioxidants may help protect

against cancer. But when researchers tested antioxidant

supplements, they unexpectedly found an increased

risk of lung cancer among smokers who took betacarotene supplements. Talk to your doctor before taking

any supplements.

Myth: Pipes and Cigars Don't Cause Lung Cancer

Fact: Smoking pipes or cigars increases not only lung

cancer risk but also the risk for cancers of the mouth,

throat, and esophagus. Cigar smoking puts you at much

greater risk of both heart disease and lung disease.

Cigars are just as toxic, maybe more so, than cigarettes.

Myth: Smoking Is Your Only Lung Cancer Risk Factor

Fact: The second leading cause of lung cancer, after

tobacco smoke, is an odorless radioactive gas called

radon. Emitted from rock and soil, it can seep up into

homes and other buildings. The only way to know

if you're living with dangerous levels is to test your

house or office for it. Call your state or county health

department for information.

Myth: Talcum Powder Causes Lung Cancer

Fact: Researchers have found no association between

lung cancer and breathing in talcum powder. However,

occupational exposure to asbestos, arsenic, and other

substances do increase lung cancer risk.

Myth: If Diagnosed With Lung Cancer, Quitting is

Pointless

Fact: Continued smoking decreases the effectiveness

of cancer treatment and may make side effects worse.

Smokers undergoing surgery, for example, have more

trouble healing than ex-smokers. Those who smoke

while undergoing radiation for cancer of the larynx are

less likely to regain normal voice quality. In some cases,

quitting can cut the risk of a second cancer forming.

Myth: Exercise Doesn't Affect Lung Cancer Risk

Fact: Regular physical activity may reduce the risk of

lung cancer by 20% or more, studies show. In addition,

exercise improves lung function and reduces the danger

of other diseases, including heart disease and stroke.

Myth: Air Pollution Is a Leading Cause of Lung Cancer

Fact: Tobacco is by far the leading cause of lung cancer.

But air pollution has been recognized as a cancer

causing agent by the World Health Organization and of

the 3.2 million deaths air pollution causes worldwide,

223,000 are from lung cancer.

Interested in learning more about how to quit using

commercial tobacco? Call Stephanie @ 869-4479.

aunt, or grandma a gift for Mother’s Day.

Since we were unable to tell you what the

craft was beforehand because we would

spoil the surprise, we can spill the beans

now. Participants made a coffee cup

designed and painted with nail polish. The

technique Cheyenne taught them was a

tie-dye technique that had the kids excited

to try. They dried fast and the kids were

able to take them home that day to surprise

someone that weekend of Mother’s Day.

polish in a tie-dye formula to place

on their coffee cups.

Remember Me

Speak of me as you have always done.

Remember the good times, laughter and fun.

The family of Joseph

Jaramillo would like to

express our heartfelt

thanks to the community,

Father

George,

St.

Augustine Church, our

friends, and extended

family for the prayers,

love, and support for our

loss of our beloved Joseph.

Share the happy memories we’ve made.

Do not let them wither or fade.

I’ll be with you in the summer’s sun

And when the winter’s chill has come.

I’ll be the voice that whispers in the breeze.

I’m peaceful now, put your mind at ease.

I’ve rested my eyes and gone to sleep,

But memories we’ve shared are yours to keep.

“Dad, you left us beautiful

memories,

Sometimes our final days may be a test,

But remember me when I was at my best.

Although things may not be the same,

Don’t be afraid to use my name.

Let your sorrow last for just a while.

Comfort each other and try to smile.

Your love is still our guide

Adelle Lujan

March 21, 1977 – May 1, 2016

Although we cannot see you,

You’re always at our side.”

I’ve lived a life filled with joy and fun.

Live on now; make me proud of what you’ll become.

~Anonymous

The family of Adelle Lujan would like to express our heartfelt gratitude

and appreciation to our relatives, many friends and community for

the support and prayers during this difficult time. Just as the famous

singer Adele, you only needed to hear the name “Adelle” and you knew

who she was. She was a wonderful mom, sister and daughter; and a

beautiful person that was kind, caring and always happy. She had a

contagious laughter that will be hard to forget. She will be missed so

much it’s hard to believe she’s gone and is now our Guardian Angel

looking over us.

Adelle is survived by her children Iris and Aubrey Lujan, sisters Agatha

and Farrah, mother Bernadine and many nieces, nephews, aunts and

uncles.

May God Bless each and every one of you.

Breastfeeding and Native American Culture

Women of the Pueblo have been mothering through breastfeeding

throughout history. Providing nourishment, comfort and safety

at the breast was an extension of the ways and customs that

were passed down from mother to daughter.

Native Americans work hard to reclaim the traditions and

knowledge that was handed down so easily in the past.

There is value in learning the ways of our ancestors. Sharing

stories and mothering wisdom bonds families and strengthens

our communities.

For more info: www.nativemothering.com

One of the best things about traditions

is being able to leave it to our children,

especially our daughters. Keep the

tradition alive and support our daughters

to breastfeed”.

Caroline Jim

Tips for Supporting Breastfeeding

1. Talk about breastfeeding with your family. Mothers,

grandmothers, aunties, sisters and cousins all have valuable

experiences to share that can help you in your mothering

journey.

2. Ask for help from your family and your community. Each

culture has it’s own customs around pregnancy, childbirth, the

post partum period and breastfeeding designed to support new

families.

3. Combine new and old ideas and ways of doing things.

Traditions should be celebrated, not forgotten. Talk to your

elders about ways to incorporate traditional ways into your life

in a way that makes you feel comfortable.

4. Celebrate parents and all types of families. Families make

communities, and strong families are powerful.

5. Take ideas about how to support breastfeeding to your elders

in the community and get involved. It takes every generation to

make changes that will benefit all families.

Isleta EMS

Kamilia Elsisie EMT-P, MPH, EMS Manager

How you can help EMS find your house in an emergency.

Have you ever called 911 during an emergency? If you have then you know it can

feel like an eternity before anyone arrives. There are many different factors that

can affect a response time, such as, where the 911 unit is responding from, caller

disconnection, wrong address given, and not being able to identify a house due

to a lack of numbering or good lighting. These are just a few examples that EMS

crews and dispatchers deal with on a daily basis. You can help by making your

house more visible and easier to find for EMS. First, take a good look at your

house from the street. Is your house number visible from the road? Are your house

numbers reflective? Is your street sign or Tribal Road number visible? Is there

enough light to make your residence visible at night? Is there something that

distinguishes your house from others nearby? Below are some ideas/guidelines

you can follow to make some simple changes, so you can help EMS help you.

Help EMS help you, by doing the

following for your residence:

•

•

•

•

•

Have easy to read numbers

approximately 4 inches

in height

Numbers should be a

contrasting color to the

background

Numbers should be

illuminated or made of

reflective material

If the residence has a porch,

numbers should be displayed

on the outer wall or a

post closest to the street

• Display numbers on both

sides of the mailbox, as

well as the front

Numbers should be visible

within a 3 foot circumference

of the front entrance

Home Chores (Position Vacant; if interested,

contact Pueblo of Isleta Human Resources.)

Provides services to frail elders who request home

repairs, yard work, window & ceiling cleaning,

chopping wood, and minor home modifications.

Referrals for home repairs and handicap

modifications are submitted to Director, then

referred to Housing Authority. Work Orders can

be submitted by calling the Isleta Elder Center.

Benefits Assistance

Application and referral for Public Resources.

Again, this is for elders 60 years and above.

Resources includes: Commodities, Food stamps,

Low Energy Assistance Program, New Mexico

Weatherization Program on Tribal Lands,

PNM Good Neighbor Fund, PNM Home Check

of culture and storytelling allowed the youth

to learn and have hands on opportunities

with the different practices. Those activities

included rattle making, bow guards, cookie

baking, earring making, and storytelling.

The stories they told were about our

origin, our identity, and our history. Other

messages from the stories described the

multiple societies and their roles that are

present in our current day traditions. At

the end of the week, we assisted the Social

Services Department with their campaign

on Child Abuse Prevention.

MSPI GRANT OBJECTIVE:

INCREASE ACCESS TO

PREVENTION ACTIVITIES

The second quarter of the newly funded

2016 Methamphetamine and Suicide

Prevention Initiative Grant has been yet

another successful one. One of the MSPI

Grant Objectives was to “Increase access

to prevention activities for youth...”and the

second quarter included many community

collaborations, in-school prevention, after

school prevention, and service learning

projects. One of the major accomplishments

from this quarter was the Spring Break

Prevention activities for Isleta Elementary

School, NACA, and Los Lunas School

District students for two consecutive weeks.

A Special Thank You goes to the Service

Providers, the individuals, and most

importantly to the families and youth who

were involved in the Spring Break Weeks.

As one of the elders expressed, “as long as

one individual picks up on one topic, and

can carry that on, we know that they are

learning something”.

Spring Break: Isleta Elementary,

NACA & Los Lunas Schools

Spring Break for students typically

entails staying home, sleeping in late,

and relaxing in general. However, with

our Spring Break activities, we wanted to

keep our youth engaged and provide them

with the opportunity to share some new

experiences. Shared experiences during

spring break included equine therapy,

high/low ropes course activities, cultural

Equine Therapy, Ava Leading the Horse

Youth, engage in “Climbing Wall”

activities, and collaboration to assist

Isleta Social Services in preparation for

their Child Abuse Prevention Campaign.

Equine therapy, provided by our own BHS

Program Manager, consisted of topics based

on historical trauma and culture. Historical

trauma was related to assimilation, loss of

language, and the boarding school era. The

youth were able to understand historical

trauma and the impact it still has today.

One considerable example is the importance

of language and personal identification

as a member of the Pueblo of Isleta and

their clan as well as the meaning of their

individual Indian name. Tatas Max Zuni,

Juan Jaramillo, Ignacio, and Avelino Zuni,

who serve under the Pueblo’s Cultural

Preservation Department & Cultural

Committee, provided the cultural activities.
