After 12-year hiatus Edward Manuel is chairman
Sells- After a 12-year hiatus
Edward D. Manuel is again
the chairman of the Tohono
O’odham Nation, winning
the post in the tribe’s general
election May 23.
Manuel and his vice chairman running mate Verlon Jose
won the Nation’s top elected
posts by outpolling Ned Norris Jr. and Wavalene Romero,
1,838 to 1,625 votes.
Manuel, who is from Pisinemo District, won his third
four-year term as chairman.
He previously was the Nation’s chairman for two consecutive terms from 1995 to
2003.
Manuel released the following statement regarding
his successful campaign. “We
thank all those voters who
participated in the electoral
process. Thank you for voting and being a part of this
democratic process in selecting your leaders at the local
and the Nation’s level. We
also thank all the moral support and prayers from all.
We especially want to thank
Chairman Ned Norris, Jr. and
Vice-Chairwoman Wavalene
Romero for their dedication,
commitment and great leadership they provided during
their tenure in office. We wish
them the best in their future
endeavors.
We are especially indebted
and extend our sincere thanks
and appreciation to the people for entrusting us with this
honor to lead this Great Nation for the next four years.
We pledge our hard work,
commitment and dedication
as we move forward to start
addressing the needs of the
people.”
Oath of Office
Manuel and Jose will take
their oath of office on June
12 in the Nation’s Legislative
Council Chambers in Sells.
Also to take the oath of office will be the newly elected
members of the Legislative
Council. The ceremony begins at 9 a.m.
The date and location of the
ceremonial inauguration will
be announced when plans are
completed, Manuel said.

Arrest warrant
issued for past
TOKA director
Sells- An arrest warrant was
issued last month for a former
head of the Tohono O’odham
Ki:Ki Association (TOKA)
after he failed to appear for
his trial over $1,800 he owed
the tribe’s housing entity.
Willard R. Manuel, 54, of
Sells, was supposed to appear
in Tohono O’odham Justice
Court on May 12 for a trial to
face charges of embezzlement,
abuse of office, and criminal
contempt of court.
When he failed to show up
for trial, the court proceeded
without him, and he was
found guilty on all charges.
An arrest warrant was issued
by the judge the same day.
Tohono O’odham Chief
Prosecutor George Traviolia
said Manuel will be sentenced
when he is in custody.
Manuel’s trouble started in
2005 when he started serving
as acting director of TOKA,
as well as serving as the
vice chairman of its board of
directors.

I am writing to request a correction
to your May 1, 2015 article, “Hia-Ced
District is voted out of existence by
137 votes in Nation’s primary election.” The article incorrectly stated
that the “Dissolution of the Hia Ced
District” Initiative would not take effect until the Legislative Council certifies the Initiative election results. This
is incorrect. Under Section 1806(J) of
the Nation’s Elections law, the Election Board issues these certificates,
not the Council, and the Dissolution
Initiative became effective when the
Board issued its certificate of election
results on April 25 (2015).

JOB TITLE
Continued from Page 1
He received a check from the housing
program of $1,879.65 to attend a trade
show in Hawaii in May 2006, along
with several other TOKA officials.
His travel plans were cancelled,
and he deposited the check into his
bank account. Two months later the
housing program sent him a certified
letter asking him to return the funds,
but he didn’t respond.
Eight months later a civil complaint
was filed against him in tribal court,
and Manuel agreed to make monthly
payments to pay off the debt.
He made two payments then
stopped. Finally, two years later, a
criminal complaint was filed against
him charging him with embezzlement,
abuse of office, and criminal contempt
of a court order.
This led to the May 12 trial date
at which he failed to appear, and the
issuance of the arrest warrant.

Summer is busy season for local entrepreneur who deals with troublesome bees
Jefford Francisco, of Topawa, wearing the tools of his trade, a full bee suit with leather gloves
and veiled cap. Francisco has to make sure that his suit is completely sealed before every bee
removal or he could suffer a painful and even dangerous attack from an aggressive bee hive.
The Runner Photo
Topawa- Many of us wake with the
rising of the sun, hastily eat breakfast,
dress, commute to work and then return
home to prepare dinner or relax on the
couch. It’s during this time of respite,
after a full day of work when dinner
has been eaten and dishes washed,
that most of us are ready to turn in
for the evening, however, for Jefford
Francisco, it’s just the beginning.
As the sun sets on the Tohono
O’odham Nation, Francisco grabs his
bee keeper suit and work gloves then
heads off into the night to help Tohono
O’odham families remove bees from
unwanted areas of their homes and
properties.
While Francisco isn’t some caped
crusader patrolling the streets protecting
the innocent from the wicked, he does
have one thing in common with those
fictional heroes, he is out helping
the community, preventing O’odham
from being stung, and educating
homeowners about the habits of bees.
“I remove bees anywhere they are
a nuisance,” said Francisco. “I started
doing this 15 to 20 years ago through
one of the Nation’s programs. I started
removing bees and it got to be too
much that I couldn’t do my regular
work.”
Francisco saw that O’odham were
paying a lot for off-reservation expert
bee removal services and realized that
he could provide a more affordable
service for community members.
“That’s when I asked my supervisor
if I could do bee removal as a side
job and that is how I got started,” he
said.
Francisco, whose day job is as
the Cultural Resource Specialist
for the Nation’s Natural Resources
Department, typically begins his nightshift as a bee removal specialist when
the sun goes down.
He will return home from work and
check the messages that customers
have left throughout the day.
“Recently, they will say (the bees)
are in the trees in their backyard and
they are swarming, bunched up on a
branch,” said Francisco. “I tell them
they are just resting and they will move
on, keep an eye on them, don’t bother
them, and leave them alone.”
Generally, bees swarming on tree
branches will leave in two to three
days, however, “(if) they are in the
side of the building, there is a hole and
the bees are going in and out...then I
know they are permanent.”
That’s when Francisco swings into
action. He travels to where the hive
is located and observes the situation,
taking into account where its located,
the size, and whether or not he will
need extra tools.
“I tell them that I will be back there
that evening and they say ‘Why? Why
will you come in the evening?’”
Francisco, who has heard this
question often, responds “You need
to know about the bees and how they
act, right now they are out harvesting
pollen and if I get rid of them now,
they will come back later on.” So, he
waits until evening when all the bees
have returned to the hive, so he can
get rid of them all at once.
When he returns to the hive in the
evening, he brings all of the tools
necessary for that specific job.
“I will go in with all the tools I
need, sprayer, saw, drill, trash can
and ladder. I will just go in and start
spraying...start taking out the hive and
throw them in the trashcan,” he said.
Other jobs are more difficult,
especially when a hive has made a new
home inside someone’s residence. In
that case, Francisco has to cut out
pieces of the wall in order to access the
bee hive, which is why he recommends
all homeowners in the Nation plug up
all holes and mend any cracks on their
homes.
Francisco believes that even if he
rids your home of a bee hive and you
don’t plug up the hole or crack they
originally entered, another bee hive is
likely to come to that same spot.
“Somehow they sense what was
there before,” he said. “Sometimes
when I get rid of them, I make sure
the hive is gone and the next day there
will be more bees flying around and
they will be around there because they
smell the honey. Another swarm will
come back,” he added.
While bees are an important part
of the Sonoran desert’s ecology, there
are times when they can be dangerous,
especially to young children and the
elderly. In such cases contact Jefford
Francisco at 520-383-3427.
Pricing for bee removal services is
as follows: $80 for the Topawa area;
$100 for the Sells area; $160 or more
for the Schuk Toak area depending on
circumstance and bee hive location.
Legal Notice
To Native American Farmers or Ranchers
or the heir of one who was denied a USDA farm loan
or loan servicing between 1981 and late 1999
Some funds paid in settlement of Keepseagle
v. Vilsack remain unclaimed and will be
distributed in accordance with a process
established by the Court. The case claimed that
USDA discriminated against Native Americans
who applied for or tried to apply for farm loans
or loan servicing. The Court seeks input from
class members about how the remaining funds
should be distributed. Of the $680 million paid
to settle the case, approximately $380 million
remains. The Settlement Agreement approved
by the Court directs that unclaimed funds be
given to non-profit organizations to serve
Native American farmers and ranchers.
The deadline to file a claim has passed. There
is no new claims process.
Who is included?
The Class includes all Native American farmers
and ranchers who:
• Farmed or ranched or attempted to do so
between January 1, 1981 and November 24,
1999;
• Tried to get a farm loan or loan servicing
from the USDA during that period; and
• Complained about discrimination to the
USDA either on their own or through a
representative during the time period.
The class does not include individuals who:
• Experienced discrimination only between
January 1 and November 23 1997; or
• Complained of discrimination only between
July 1 and November 23, 1997.
Proposed use of the Funds
There are several competing options for how to
distribute the funds.
First, Plaintiffs propose to modify the
Settlement Agreement, subject to Court
approval, to distribute the funds as follows:
• $342 million distributed by a Trust, overseen
by Native American leaders, to non-profit
groups to serve Native farmers & ranchers
over a 20 year period.
• $38 million be distributed quickly to nonprofit organizations serving Native farmers
& ranchers, identified by Class Counsel and
approved by the Court.
The Trust would make grants to organizations
providing business assistance, agricultural
education, technical support, or advocacy
services to Native American farmers and
ranchers, including those seeking to become
farmers or ranchers, to support and promote
their continued engagement in agriculture. The
USDA has agreed with this proposal.
Second, Marilyn Keepseagle proposes to
distribute all remaining funds as additional
damages paid to successful Track A claimants
alone. The USDA opposes this proposal.
Third, other class members have asked to use
the funds to pay claims that were initially
denied or to permit new claims to be filed.
Fourth, the Choctaw Nation has argued that no
changes should be made.
How can I share my views?
If you want to tell the Court of your support
of or opposition to any proposal for use of
the remaining funds, you may submit written
comments, postmarked no later than June 15,
2015, to:
Chambers of the Honorable Emmet G. Sullivan
U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia
333 Constitution Avenue N.W.
Washington, DC 20001
The Court will hold a hearing on June 29,
2015 at 9:00 AM EDT in Courtroom 24A at
the address above. If you want to speak to the
Court in person, you may attend the hearing.
Your written comments will be considered by
the Court even if you do not attend the hearing.

After several months of little headway,
efforts by parents of Papago students
who want their children released from
Indian Oasis School District 40 to
attend school in Ajo have reached a
final but formidable hurdle.
By a motion of the Indian Oasis
board of trustees in February (1979),
the reservation school district agreed
to release students who live in the
western part of the Papago Reservation
and would find it more practical and
convenient to attend Ajo Unified
School District 15.
However, perhaps an even
more perplexing problem than
was experienced in acquiring the
student releases faces the parents.
Transportation.
State, county, Indian Oasis School
District 40 and Ajo School District 15
officials haven’t been able to find a
solution for transporting the students
from the reservation to Ajo. Papago
Education officials are seeking funding
for the Ajo student’s transportation.
Lack Of Gas Cancels
Baseball Play
Because the allotment of gasoline
to Indian Oasis School District 40 is
limited, the remainder of Baboquivari
High School’s (1979) baseball season
has been cancelled.
According to John Rauker, acting
principal at Baboquivari, because of
the apparent gasoline shortage, the
remaining eight varsity games have
been cancelled. To date, the Warriors
are winless in nine games.
Practice sessions in girls’ softball and
girls’ and boys’ track and field have
been cut from five to three times a
week in a further effort to conserve gas
by eliminating the transporting home
of student-athletes after practice.
Since only two games of the girls’
softball season remain, they will be
played out, and van transportation has
been made available for the track and
field team, which has six weeks of
scheduled competition remaining.

The truth about Carbs: Six myths and facts about carbs that may surprise you
Compiled by Judy Lee-Norris, Nutrition
& Dietetic Services Department IHS
Are you confused about whether
carbs are good or bad for you? You’re
not alone.
Carbohydrates are the most
misunderstood of all the nutrients and
often get blamed for causing a slew
of health problems from diabetes to
weight gain. But, it’s important to
know that eliminating carbs from
your diet is not the ticket to ending
diabetes and ensuring weight loss.
The truth is that we couldn’t survive
without carbohydrates because they’re
an essential fuel for our bodies and
for our brains. In fact, nutrition
experts agree that avoiding foods that
contain good carbs such as whole
grains, fruit, vegetables, and beans
can be risky because these foods are
an important source of vitamins,
minerals, antioxidants, and fiber that
are essential for optimal health.
How can you tell a good carb from
a bad carb?
Good carbs are the type of
carbohydrates that are unprocessed or
minimally processed and full of fiber
such as whole grain bread, oatmeal,
fruit, whole wheat pasta, starchy
vegetables, and beans. This type of
carbohydrate promotes good health
because they get absorbed slowly into
our systems, avoiding spikes in blood
sugar levels. On the other hand, bad
carbs are those foods that are highly
processed such as white bread, cake,
soda, candy, and other sugary foods.
These type of carbohydrates do not
have any fiber and are absorbed
quickly into the bloodstream, causing
a rapid rise in blood sugar levels.
Below are six common myths and
facts about carbs:
Myth: Carbs are fattening
Carbohydrates have a bad reputation
these days, but the truth is that good
carbs will not make you fat. A small
baked potato has only 130 calories and
zero grams of fat. It’s what you put
on that baked potato that packs on the
calories. Add butter and sour cream
to that baked potato and the calories
triple to nearly 400 calories while the
fat rises to 28 grams , that’s 1/3 of
your allotted fat intake for the day!
Myth: Carbs make you sleepy
If you eat too much of any food it can
make you feel sluggish because blood
flow and oxygen to the brain decreases
after you eat a big meal. The truth is
that good carbs provide energy to your
muscles and to your brain. If you want
to get over that mid-afternoon slump,
eat a snack that has some carbohydrate
and protein to keep your energy level
high and your mind alert, like low-fat
cottage cheese with apple slices or lowfat cheese with whole grain crackers.
Myth: It doesn’t matter if I eat a
piece of fruit or a doughnut since all
carbs are the same
The type of carb that you eat
is important since some carbs are
healthier than others. The healthiest
carbohydrate foods are those that are
unprocessed or minimally processed
whole foods that contain natural sugar
that is found in fruit and in milk. A
doughnut, which is processed and is
loaded with sugar, supplies calories
but no nutrients. Eating too much sugar
and other sweetened foods can make
you gain weight. Being overweight is
one of the biggest risk factors for type
2 diabetes.
instead of higher calorie foods can
help you and your family achieve and
maintain a healthy weight.
So when it comes to carbs, eating
whole grains, beans, vegetables, and
fruits are a good thing. These foods are
full of nutrients, keep you full longer,
and keep your blood sugar stable.
Steer clear of processed foods such
as white pasta, white bread, pastries,
sugary drinks, and other sweetened
foods which causes blood sugar levels
to spike and plummet, making you
feel tired and moody. When eating
any type of food, even if they are good
carbs, keep your portion size in check
since eating large portions can cause
weight gain. Weight gain can lead to
health problems such as diabetes and
heart disease.
For additional information on food
and nutrition, including monthly
interactive cooking classes, contact
Judy Lee-Norris, Nutrition & Dietetic
Services Department at Sells Hospital,
520-383-7219.
If you would like an appointment with
the Outpatient Dietitian or the Diabetes
Dietitian, call the appointment line at
383-7402 (Sells Gold Team) or 3837431 (Sells Purple Team).
Fact: Carbs are good for your heart
Research shows that eating healthy
carbs, particularly whole grains,
lowers your risk of heart disease and
other diseases such as stroke and
type 2 diabetes. As a bonus, eating
whole grains will help keep you at a
healthy weight. On the other hand,
eating unhealthier carbs such as white
bread, cake, cookies, doughnuts,
sodas, and other highly processed
foods contributes to weight gain and
promotes diabetes and heart disease.
Fact: Carbs can help boost your
mood
Researchers suspect that eating
carbs wards off depression because it
promotes the production of serotonin
and tryptophan, brain chemicals that
improves mood. Focus on eating the
type of carbs that are best for your
health: whole wheat pasta, whole grain
bread, corn, sweet potatoes, corn,
beans, and oatmeal. And, steer clear
of the processed, high sugar carbs that
can cause havoc on your health.

PUBLIC NOTICE
TO:
All Members of the Public and Districts of the Tohono O’odham Nation
FROM:
Billman Lopez, Chairperson
Agricultural and Natural Resources Committee
DATE:
May 21, 2015
SUBJECT:
Nonmember Hunting Illegal
On May 15, 2015 Ordinance No. 32, 19 Tohono O’odham Code Chapter 4, Article 1 –
Nonmember Hunting Permits was suspended by enactment of Resolution No. 15-148,
http://www.tolc-nsn.org/docs/Title19Ch4Art1.pdf. Resolution No. 15-148 establishes a
moratorium on hunting by nonmembers within the Nation’s lands. (Because there was no
existing system for issuing nonmember hunting permits under Ordinance No. 32, nonmember
hunting on the Nation was illegal for many years prior to the passage of Resolution No. 15-148.)
Individuals who are not enrolled Nation’s members are prohibited from hunting within
the Nation’s boundaries until at least May 17, 2017, when the moratorium expires. Nonmembers
found hunting or attempting to hunt are subject to high civil fines, civil forfeiture proceedings,
and removal and exclusion pursuant to 4 Tohono O’odham Code Chapter 2.
Fact: Carbs can help prevent weight
gain
Good carbs contain fiber, which is the
non-digestible part of carbohydrates.
Eating foods naturally high in fiber
such as fruits, vegetables, and whole
grains is associated with a lower body
weight. These carbs when prepared
without adding in fats or sugars, are
relatively low in calories. Eating them
Resolution No. 15-148 does not prevent enrolled Nation’s members from hunting, but it
does provide that members and others who are subject to the Nation’s criminal jurisdiction may
be criminally prosecuted for “assisting, accompanying, or guiding a non-member hunting or for
otherwise violating the Nation’s laws” and “shall be subject to forfeiture of weapons,
communications technology, vehicles, or other property used in the commission of such an
offense in accordance with the procedure set forth in 7 T.O.C. Chapter 1, Section 1.17.”
The Agricultural and Natural Resources Committee will collaborate with the Natural
Resources Department and gather public input on future nonmember hunting regulations that
will protect the Nation’s natural resources for the benefit of the Tohono O’odham while honoring
our culture and traditions.

ters of intent, a form which commits
them to enroll and play at TOCC.
Vargas said the three tribal members
are among a group of incoming freshmen who will fill the Jegos’ roster for
next season.
He said the 2015-2016 team will
be hard pressed to duplicate the Jegos’
run the last two years, when they made
it all the way to the National Junior
College Athletic Association Region
One championship game. They were
knocked out each year by Phoenix
College.
Vargas said next season “We will be
starting over again, there won’t be a
lot of experience. We’ll probably have
12 freshmen on the team.”
The Jegos’ success on the court has
prompted interest from high school
players who are making inquiries about
TOCC, Vargas said, particularly from
Native American athletes.
He said this has parlayed into TOCC
players moving on to four-year college programs. He said eight players
from last year’s team have enrolled in
four-year colleges where they’ve been
recruited to play basketball.
Vargas said two players will be
enrolling at Haskell Indian Nations
University, and others will enroll at
Montana State University, University
of Alaska at Fairbanks, and Niagara
University in New York.
Vargas noted that though basketball
can be fun and important to the young
players, there is a greater goal for
TOCC’s basketball program.
“We’re trying to build a life experience. Basketball is the tool, education
is the goal,” he said.
