Navajo President Delivers the State of the Nation Address

For Immediate Release
October 15, 2012



Navajo President Delivers the State of the Nation Address

WINDOW ROCK, Ariz. - Navajo Nation President Ben Shelly outlined recent
accomplishments from the Shelly/Jim administration during his quarterly State of the
Nation address Monday at the opening day of the Navajo Nation Council's fall
session.

President Shelly started his 17 minute speech by stating a recent $43 million
agreement between the Navajo Nation and Department of Interior to give financial
assistance to the Navajo Nation to build portions of the Navajo-Gallup Water Supply
Project waterline.

The money plans to be spent to build portions of the lower access of the Cutter
Lateral. The funding plans to help design and construction of 43 miles of water
pipeline, a pumping station and four water storage tanks.

The overall NGWS project is expected to cost $1 billion, build 280 miles of
waterline to 43 chapters and create more than 600 jobs during construction.

"This project is a result of the Navajo Nation Water Rights Settlement in the San
Juan River Basin in New Mexico," President Shelly said.

President Shelly also spoke about an agreement that strengthens Navajo sovereignty.

The Navajo Nation Environmental Protection Agency will oversee the clean up of a
mine in District 17 in New Mexico, according to a "Temporary Access Agreement" with
Hydro Resources Inc.

The agreement calls for the mine in District 17 to follow Navajo Nation standards.

For the first time, the NNEPA will ensure clean up follows the standards in the
Navajo Nation Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act of
2008.

President also relayed information regarding uranium mine cleanup in Cove, Ariz.,
Casamero Lake, New Mex., and Church Rock, New Mex.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced that $7.5 million would be spent
to cleanup mines in those communities.

To help with the cleanup, President Shelly said job training would be available
through the Navajo Nation Superfund Job Training Initiative.

"As we look ahead, the U.S. EPA is predicting that another $44 million could be put
toward cleaning the Northeast Church Rock Mine. With training available now, future
mine clean ups could employ hundreds of Navajos in the future," President Shelly
said.

President Shelly also said he is confident that Navajo Head Start, which has had
non-compliance issues for several years, is headed in a good direction.

"In August, we brought on Sharon Singer, who became the first licensed
superintendent to lead Navajo Head Start. She brings years of teaching and
administrative experience. With Ms. Singer's proven leadership we are committed to
bringing the program fully into compliance with more than 2,800 federal standards,"
President Shelly said,=.

President Shelly stated that he intends to create a task force to find solutions to
issues Navajo residents who live on Hopi Partitioned lands including building some
homes for relocated Navajo families on Turquoise Ranch near Winslow, Ariz., which
was recently established into trust status.

"These issues are complicated and I'm going to look towards creating a taskforce to
look at what the executive branch and other stakeholders can do for planning and
developing the Navajo-Hopi Partitions Lands," President Shelly said.

President Shelly visited nearly eight homes in the past few weeks that were on Hopi
Partitioned Lands.

President Shelly also updated the Council about recent progress in the Red Dog
Gravel project. The project involves partnerships between the Navajo Nation, Navajo
County, chapters, Peabody Western Coal Company, and others.

Red dog gravel is being delivered to 10 chapters in the Black Mesa area, where the
gravel is found.

"We are in the process of graveling roads in these areas and have delivered more
than 40,000 tons of red-dog gravel. We have plans to continue graveling roads for
these areas. This project is working because we all have worked together," President
Shelly said.

President Shelly also announced the implementation of a new project to revamp the
hiring process within the Navajo Nation government.

The pilot project gives more authority to divisions and programs to have input on
hiring for new employees, so they may find candidates that are best suited for their
programs.

"Our goal is to bring the most qualified people to our workforce, including our
valuable children. We need to have jobs for them when they want to come home,"
President Shelly said.

The State of the Nation address also covered topics such as the budget and coal
revenues.

"Constituent Services" tab.

NM State Rocket Launch

# Statewide Rocket Launch by 100 New Mexico Students on October 11 to
Commemorate Centennial and state's history of rocket science #

This Thursday, October 11, KGLP will participate in a very Special Broadcast,
in collaboration with several area schools, other New Mexico Public Radio
Stations, NASA, PNM, and the New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs.

New Mexico’s Centennial Rocket Project is one hundred rockets built and
launched simultaneously from one hundred schools, to celebrate one hundred
years of New Mexico’s statehood.  

This Thursday morning at 10:30, these students will fire off large model
rockets as part of the Centennial Rocket Project, tuning in to KGLP and other
Public Radio stations across New Mexico, as the Countdown to 10:30 a.m. is
announced by current International Space Station Commander, NASA’s Sunita
Williams, of the Expedition 33 crew.

Rocket kits were sent to schools around the state so students could build,
decorate and launch the rockets to commemorate New Mexico's long history of
contributions to rocketry and the exploration of space.

The special broadcast of the Centennial Rocket Launch scheduled to air this
Thursday morning from 10:28 until exactly 10:30 is brought to you as a
community service by New Mexico’s public radio stations, including KGLP,
91.7 FM.

---- Press Release ---
NEW MEXICO’S SCHOOL YEAR BLASTS OFF!!!
CENTENNIAL ROCKET PROJECT

•    100 Rockets
•    100 Schools
•    100 Years of New Mexico’s statehood
(Santa Fe, September 24, 2012)—High above earth the International Space
Station crew members will welcome New Mexico teachers and students and  will
commence the countdown – “10-9-8 …3 – 2 – 1 Blast Off!” – as 100
rockets from 100 New Mexico schoolyards will launch simultaneously skyward
(weather and safety conditions permitting) on Thursday, October 11, 2012, at
10:30 a.m.
New Mexico has a long and illustrious association with rocketry and space
exploration. The Centennial Rocket Project was designed to focus on our great
state’s rich history, while embracing the future of rocketry and science and
honoring New Mexico educators and school children. The educational project
commemorates New Mexico’s Centennial celebration and another very special
anniversary as well - the 40th Anniversary of Apollo 17.

The Centennial Rocket Project is a multi-faceted enterprise that provides a
Large Model Rocket (LMR) to 100 participating teachers/schools (one rocket per
school) complete with instructions for assembly and launch, an accompanying
lesson plan/curriculum focusing on New Mexico’s rich history in rocketry and
science, a commemorative classroom poster, and a copy of the classic
inspirational film October Sky. The kit also includes special commemorative
bracelets for students directly involved in the building of each rocket.

“The Centennial Rocket Project is truly a statewide celebration as it unites
New Mexico’s educators and school children, representing nearly every county
in New Mexico, as they launch their model rocket from their respective
schools,” noted project creators Ona Johnson, Director of New Mexico
Centennial, and Tomas Jaehn, Librarian/Archivist of the Fray Angélico Chávez
History Library at the New Mexico History Museum.

The Museum of Space History in Alamogordo, NM, is also on board with the
Centennial Rocket Project, and will be providing Space Trails information
packets for each participating teacher’s classroom.
The Centennial Rocket Project is a collaborative project made possible by the
generosity and support of the New Mexico Centennial Foundation; the New Mexico
Department of Cultural Affairs; PNM Resources; and NASA.
The countdown will be transmitted statewide through the airwaves of KUNM in
Albuquerque, KENW in Portales, KRWG in Las Cruces, KGLP in Gallup and KSJE in
Farmington.

Health Action NM Dental Therapist Proposal

Health Action New Mexico Offers Dental Therapist Proposal to Expand Access to
Oral Health Care In New Mexico


SANTA FE, N.M. – Health Action New Mexico will present its proposal for
addressing New Mexico’s oral health crisis on Friday, Oct. 12, to the
Interim Legislative Health and Human Services Committee.  Key to this solution
is the introduction of new mid-level dental care providers known as “dental
therapists,” who would work as part of a dentist-led team to deliver
preventive and routine dental care to underserved communities. 

According to the Human Services and Resources Administration, people in 30 of
New Mexico’s 33 states face serious dental care shortages.  Finding
affordable dental care is extremely challenging – some people wait months
for an appointment for a toothache, and others even to go Mexico for dental
care.  This new option would expand and strengthen the dental care workforce
– similar to what nurse practitioners and physician assistants have done for
the medical care workforce -- and provide good-paying jobs.  In Alaska, dental
therapists have made high-quality dental care accessible to more than 35,000
people.  Currently, 20 states currently are exploring dental therapists as a
way to expand oral health care access.

Discussants will be available for questions and answers following the
presentation.


What:      Policy Proposal Presentation: Dental Therapists for New Mexico
Where: Santa Fe Capitol; Room 322; Santa Fe, NM 87501
When:  Friday, October 12
Time:      9:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Who:  
Todd Hartsfield, DDS, Assistant Professor of Clinical Dentistry, Arizona
School of Dentistry and Oral Health.
Daniel Kennedy, Dental Health Aide Therapist from Klawock,  Alaska
Ron Romero, DDS, MPH,  Former State Dental  Director of the NM Department of
Health
Michael Bird, MSW, MPH, Vice Chair, Kewa Pueblo Health Board/Kewa Pueblo

Gallup Herald Suspends Publication

BREAKING NEWS FINALE!!!!!
It is with heartfelt sorrow that I am announcing the closure of The Gallup Herald. The Oct. 3, issue was our last print edition. The reasons for this difficult decision are many but mainly include costly business mistakes and decisions, and the economy and casino hitting this community harder than many want to realize. We served the greater Gallup community for eight years and hope we made it just a little better place to live in. For our supporters, my deepest thanks. For our detractors or those who were subjects in some of news stories, you may relish in our defeat.
I am confident we provided Gallup with a good product. In the words of President Teddy Roosevelt:
"It is not the critic who counts...The credit belongs to the man in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly...who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while doing greatly."
Thank you and God Bless.

Monday, October 1, 2012 - Indian Land in the 21st Century:
Now that President Obama has signed the Claims Settlement Act, what's the next step in managing Indian trust lands? The Indian Land Working Group, a nonprofit watchdog organization, helps Native landowners make informed decisions about their land. The group's 22nd annual symposium, October 15-18, will bring together experts to share information and answer questions related to a wide range of issues including: tribal trust cases, trust reform, leasing, oil and gas development, pipelines, land consolidation, and using tools of information technology. What is the future for managing trust lands? Guests include, ILWG executive director Kristin Ruppel, allottee organizer Ernestine Werelus, (Shoshone Bannock), Montana State University remote sensing researcher, Lisa Lone Fight, (Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara), and landowner Helen Sanders (Chehalis), who won a major victory in the U.S. Supreme Court on behalf of allottees in 1983.

Tuesday, October 2, 2012 - 2012 October Current Events:
October marks the end of harvest time but, it's just the beginning of a busy month for many tribal leaders, teachers, elders, and students. In the weeks ahead, the 43rd Annual National Indian Educational Association Conference takes place in Oklahoma City to help Native communities increase their potential in the digital era. Alaskan Natives look forward to meeting with their peers at the Alaska Federation of Natives Conference and the 29th Annual First Alaskans Institute Elders and Youth Conference in Anchorage, Alaska. October is also the time for "spooktacular" events, what treats are ahead when it comes to powwows, festivals, and rodeos in your community? Join us for a lineup of folks from around the country who are bringing in the fall with a bang.

Wednesday, October 3, 2012 - Understanding Alcohol's Toll on the Family:
Living with an alcoholic is not an easy thing to do and unfortunately many Native American families know this scenario all too well. The family who lives with an alcoholic is left to handle the day-to-day tasks that can be forgotten while the alcoholic recovers from a night of excessive drinking. How much does a person's drinking affect the family unit? How do you deal with caring for an alcoholic when you know that their life is centered around pursuing their next drink? Did you grow up an alcoholic home and what effect does that have on your adult life? Can family life ever be normal when one or more family members are alcoholics and have not decided to stop drinking? Guests are Margie Anderson (Yaqui/Apache) Talking Circle Facilitator and John Bird (Blackfoot) Project Director of the Circles of Care Project at the Tohono O'odham Community College.


Thursday, October 4, 2012- Tohono O'odham Pit Tradition Against Cartels:
The Tohono O'odham reservation shares nearly 80 miles of its border with Mexico - making the reservation one of the most active corridors for illegal border activity. However, the border isn't just causing problems by putting the tribe in the middle of an ongoing war on drugs and human migration, it has sliced their traditional homelands into two parts, and a good portion of Tohono O'odham members still live in Mexico. This week, many tribal members will make a pilgrimage to Mexico for tradition. Tribal members will have to weigh their safety with religious conviction, and wonder whether they will be confronted with violence. Join us as we take a look at this situation as we hear from the voices of those that are close to the issue.

Friday, October 5, 2012- Native Vote 2012 Countdown (Part 3):
Election day 2012 is just over a month away. Already parts of the country are gearing up to cast their vote for the next set of people who they would like to see run this country. The frenzy of campaigning will be visible everywhere the next month as the different political parties will splash their views on how they think things should be in not only TV and print adds but, also in front of the podium during scheduled debates. So what is going on in Indian Country? Can one vote make the difference in local elections where you live? What are tribal nations doing to prepare the Native Vote? Are there certain places you can visit to get the latest news on the Native Vote? Guests TBA

RMCHCS Monthly Report

September 28, 2012 RMCHCS Monthly Report—Roger Gleisner, acting CEO for
Rehoboth McKinley Christian Health Care Services (RMCHCS), reported that the
organization ended the month of August with a year-to-date net operating loss
of $165,000. In early August, RMCHCS received $2.7 million in sole community
provider funds and the organization ended the month with a cash reserve of
$1.8 million.
 
Recently, McKinley County’s commissioners approved $800,000 in supplemental
funding for the Sole Community Provider funds which, with federal matching
dollars, will result in $2.56 million for the hospital.  “This will be of
significant help to RMCHCS,” said Gleisner.  Lower patient volumes in
RMCHCS’ various service areas have had an impact on the organization’s
overall financial picture.
“We are committed to making sure the people of McKinley County have access
to quality health care. So much is changing in the health care industry, that
we can no longer rely on the way we have done business in the past,” says
Gleisner.  “We are looking at all areas of the organization to make sure we
are operating efficiently and being good stewards of our resources.” 

In August, the McKinley County commissioners approved a proposal for a
hospital mill levy of up to 4 mills, which will be on the November 6 ballot. 
Funding from the mill levy tax will help ensure community access to quality
health care and state of the art medical equipment needed for patient care.
Funds will also be used for the maintenance and improvement of the current
hospital facility that RMCHCS leases from McKinley County.  Many counties with
hospitals in New Mexico already have hospital mill levy taxes of 4 mills and
higher.

RMCHCS is celebrating national breast cancer awareness month by offering
mammogram screenings at a promotional rate of $75 throughout the entire month
of October. RMCHCS will also host two Saturday mammogram screening clinics on
October 13 and 20 in the radiology department. For more information or to
schedule an appointment, call RMCHCS diagnostic imaging department at
505.863.7015. 

RMCHCS is also partnering with Clear Channel Radio on several community breast
cancer awareness events, beginning with a breast cancer walk on Sunday,
October 7 at 2 pm. This free event will begin at the McKinley County
Courthouse plaza and will end up at the RMCHCS parking lot.  Gallup Goes Pink
will take place on Friday, October 12 and Pink Night Out will take place on
October 19 at the Coal Street Pub, beginning at 5 pm.  For more information,
call 505.863.7283.
