Ske:g Tas. I am Lena JacksonEckert, an Assistant Community Manager.

I was raised in Salt River for most of my life. My parents are David and Reggie Jackson. My paternal grandparents are Dean Jackson (bot) and Idella Hall (bot). My maternal grandparents are Rosemarie and Ernest Peter (bot). I have been serving the Community for the last 18 years in various departments and the last 12 as an ACM. As ACM I oversee Senior Services, Social Services, Defense Advocates Office, Human Resources and Health and Human Services.

I am excited about the many plans to enrich and improve the lives of our people. For example, beginning the process of building a new Senior Center where you will be able to enjoy yourself and each other during breakfast, lunch or recreational activities. It will also provide space for staff who work hard every day to assist with homecare services, homedelivered meals and all other social services.

We will continue to partner with other departments such as Health and Human Services to create programs to help improve the health of our Community members. We know that wellness is more than physical health but also mental health, spiritual connection and access to quality services. Our people deserve a long life filled with good health and happiness and we all have a role to help create a more healthy community. I look forward to our future.

Feel free to stop by and chat with me. My office is located in Two Waters A, Suite 300.

with Jessica Martinez

Hello all,

Welcome back to Connecting Waters, or welcome if you are new to this column.

My name is Jessica Martinez, I am the Community Liaison for Senior Services.

I use this column to answer some FAQs I receive from seniors around the community. Some range from really common questions about our services to wacky questions like: “my dog needs a haircut, can you guys do that for me?” (Yes, I’ve really been asked that question before). I am here to answer them all!

The question for this issue is about keeping medications away from the younglings and other household members.

How do I keep my medications away from the younglings and other household members?

We can actually refer you to something even better and more secure! Did you know that Health & Human Services (HHS) provides safes for you to not only store medications but also important documents and/or valuables? Well if you didn’t know, now you do!

If you would like a safe, just give Monte Yazzie a call at 480.362.7542. Also, when you chat with Monte, ask him about some other resources he offers because although his title is Injury Prevention Coordinator, his scope of work covers so much more! He is a valuable resource to us here at Senior Service and he will be a valuable resource to you as well!

Employee Spotlight Byron Silversmi th Byron with some of his music collection Byron Silversmith is a clerk with Senior Services. He started as a temporary worker five years ago and enjoys his job very much. You may sometimes see him at the front desk, but he mainly serves as a contact for anything to do with Recreation, including signing up for events and answering questions.

He is excited to see new seniors coming in for crafts and events.

“We’ve seen more seniors, I think from them interacting on Facebook and word of mouth,” said Byron. “The crafts have changed with the new coordinators and [the seniors] seem to like that and now that Tia does some interactive games before crafts, they interact more.”

Getting to know the seniors is one of the things Byron likes most about his job.

“I am one of the main people that they see. I enjoy getting to know them and sometimes they’ll call me if they have a question, even if it’s not about Recreation, because they know me and

they know I will call them back with an answer,” said Byron.

Byron has a degree in Fine Arts, so he is glad his office space is in the North Annex where he can watch the seniors create. When he’s not at work, Byron likes to do a little creating of his own.

“I draw and paint in different media— stuff that is abstract, fun and colorful.

It’s more like expression than worrying about technique,” said Byron. “I carry a sketch book with me wherever I go and I draw when I am bored or inspired.”

In addition to art, Byron likes listening to rock and alternative music, as well as attending concerts. The Sound of Animals Fighting, Japanese Breakfast and Bartees Strange are among his favorite groups. He also likes to collect music in all forms, including vinyl, cassettes, CDs, and even some 8 tracks.

When he’s not at home with his collection or creating art, Byron enjoys art festivals and farmers markets. If you see him here or there, say Hi. SRPMIC SENIOR SERVICES

Team Spotlight Homecare Services

Senior Services has a caring team of professionals who provide three levels of in-home care to homebound community seniors and adults with adaptive needs. Our goal is to allow our clients to safely remain in their homes.

After an assessment, our home care assistants create a personalized service plan based on the unique needs of each client.

“We have a service plan that is tailored to the client, not only addressing what they need physically, but also what they are interested in, such as activities where they get out of the home and go to the movies, play bingo or participate in tailored exercise programs,” said Erin Manuel, HCA Manager.

“But it is all about the client and their comfort level. Some are still nervous to come out post-pandemic, so we con6

tinue to meet with them virtually and create crafts and activities that can be taken with our caregivers into the home to do with them. We want to make sure that there’s that interaction, that there is that companionship taking place.”

Home Care provides three levels of assistance: Level I – Basic housekeeping, mopping, sweeping, laundry, companionship and nutrition.

Level II – Level I and personal care assistance with bathing, dressing and walking.

Level III – Light housekeeping and more extensive personal care assistance with bathing, dressing, grooming, transferring and toileting.

“We want people to understand that

housekeeping is for the safety and wellbeing of those we serve and is often limited to where our clients spend most of their time, not the whole house—for example their room if they live with other family members,” said Erin. “This is because we want to empower family members to assist in the care of their loved one. We want our clients to be healthy and happy.”

In addition to providing home care assistance, HCA also provides Enhance

Fitness, a fun fitness program for all community seniors 55+ and adults with adaptive needs, not just those served

by HCA. “It is vital to help our seniors and our clients to get moving to maintain and improve their balance, range of motion, strength and stamina,” said Erin. “We move at the pace of our clients and seniors. Even those in wheelchairs can participate. Anyone can participate and everyone does what they can.”

Classes are offered in the WOLF Senior Room three mornings a week.

To learn more, call 480.362.7367.

If you are someone you know may need Home Care Assistance, call 480.362.6350 and ask for our intake coordinator.

“Some would smile and wave and once when I waved back, my grandmother said, ‘Don’t be waving at them. They are fighting our boys.’ I was about 8 or 9 then.”

Later, Barbara attended Scottsdale High School, where she was in the pep squad. She was a Scottsdale Beaver through and through. She enjoyed attending the football and basketball games. It was at a game that she met her husband, Lloyd. He attended the Phoenix Indian School. He was smitten and wrote to her often. They would also talk over refreshments when their schools played each other. Eventually, they married and moved to Phoenix.

When Lloyd joined the Army, Barbara and their two eldest daughters moved back to Salt River to live with her grandmother and grandfather.

By then, her grandfather was working with a home builder and she remembers that when her grandfather passed away, the man built her family a block home.

Years later, Barbara decided to go back to school mainly to help her church—her grandparents had instilled a love of the church in Barbara.

She was often selected to speak at conferences on behalf of the community seniors. She enjoyed meeting people from other tribes and cultures at the conferences and sharing the O’Odham culture with them.

When she retired from the senior center, Barbara renewed her passion for preserving and passing on her native language. She wrote the O’Odham Dictionary for the Salt River Elementary School Culture Program and it was used for many years.

She also began translating and teaching the language when invited, for those who were interested in learning. She even taught a Miss Salt River d how to sing the national anthem in O’Odham.

Today, Barbara continues to help community departments and organizations with translation, and has had young couples come to her for help with traditional baby names.

“Whatever is needed, I just enjoy it,” said Barbara.

Barbara now has 14 grand- and great-grandchildren. She lives with her great-granddaughter Razmei, whom Barbara and Razmei Barbara has raised since infancy.

Because your brain does not know the difference between something that is really happening or just thinking about it, when you recall something good that happened that day, you relive it and you immediately become more positive. Do this regularly and your brain will begin focus more on what is good in your life.

Pause and observe your breath.

Spending just two minutes a day quietly focusing on your breath, just in and out, will significantly calm your mind, improve your mood and increase your productivity. Set a reminder on your phone, close your eyes and just breathe.

Get moving.

Studies show that just 15 minutes of fun exercise a day immediately boosts your energy and your mood. Dance to three of your favorite songs—like nobody is watching, take a break and really stretch or go for a brisk walk. You will be glad you did.

CULTURAL LIVING

Weavers Alice, Dawn, Tasha and Raeann For generations, basket weavers were an important part of a household. They wove the essential tools for gathering, transporting and storing food. They were also a critical part of some traditions like the wine ceremony, where they used to gather and store cactus fruit while it fermented.

Traditionally, baskets were woven by women. Young women would present their pieces during the basket dance, sharing their talent, hard work and patience with the community.

Unfortunately, for two generations, 14 SPRING 2023

the art of basket weaving was nearly lost. However, there are women in the community, and some men, who are bringing the tradition back to life. Alice Manuel is one of them. Her interest in baskets, and later weaving, began at an early age.

“I remember that my father’s mother had four or five baskets on top of her fridge,” recalled Alice. “Though I never touched them, they intrigued me.”

Baskets were a rare sight because back then, the culture was to burn all belongings when someone passed

Dawn Sinoqui agreed.

“It is so rewarding to create with your hands and to sit with the other women for a weave and, talk, laugh or cry,” said Dawn, who took 11 years to complete her first basket. “It was hard to give it away. I could look at the pattern and remember what was going on in my life as I was making it.”

It is tradition to give the first basket to the teacher or someone the weaver respects as a thank you. Alice received Dawn’s basket.

Dawn is now working on her second basket, a small one. She too hopes that one or more of her daughters will decide to join the harvest at the river this summer.

“It is my responsibility to keep it going. I have four daughters, so there is no excuse,” said Dawn. “This is special can even start. You can’t just run to to the O’odham and we have to keep it Michael’s for supplies,” said Raeann. going.”

FOOD & NUTRITION

Celinda’s Meal Replacement/ Post-Workout Smoothie Serves 1

INGREDIENTS Spinach – a handful Frozen Fruit – ½ cup You can use any berry such as strawberries, blueberries, blackberries or any fruit such as pineapple, mango, etc. I highly recommend frozen fruit as it provides a much nicer & creamier texture.

Ice – a handful Ginger Root – 2 slices Ginger root has antioxidants and other nutrients that may help prevent or treat arthritis, inflammation, and various infections. Ginger may also reduce the risk of diabetes, cancer and other health problems.

Chia seed - 2 tbsp Despite their small size, chia seeds are full of nutrients, including Omega-3 fatty acids, iron, calcium and antioxidants.

18 SPRING 2023

Chia seeds have a mild, nutty flavor and can be a good addition to a balanced diet. Chia seeds may help in reducing appetite and weight, lowering triglycerides and improving blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetes.

Flaxseed (ground) - 1 Tbs One serving of flaxseed provides a good amount of protein, fiber, and omega-3 fatty acids.

Some call it one of the most powerful plant foods on the planet. There’s some evidence it may help reduce your risk of heart disease, cancer, stroke and diabetes.

Protein Powder (of your choice) 1 or 2 scoops Whey Protein Powder, Plant Base Protein Powder, Peanut Butter Protein Powder

Whey protein is said to help you lose body fat, gain muscle and increase your strength. Whey protein powder is made from cow’s milk.

Plant-based protein powders commonly come from brown rice, peas, soy or hemp.

Peanut butter protein powder provides fiber and protein, which studies show can help regulate appetite.

Water - approximately 1 cup Blend until smooth and enjoy!

“Due to the big storm in July and supply chain issues, we have had a bit of a backup, but are working as fast as we can.”

“Once the work started, it was very quick. Now I have a new roof that should last for years,” said Mike. “I recommend SHRRP for all seniors. Their service is excellent and it’s free. The guys are friendly and they do what you need.”

In addition to weatherizing homes, SHRRP provides a variety of other services to qualified community residents.

These can include complex renovations and retrofitting of interiors to meet health or safety need such as, but
