We had a great Easter celebration as well as a great time with some St. Patrick’s Day fun. We also wanted to let everyone know that the deadline for the scout has changed and we have been asked to submit our information early. All Indian Game Day Elderly Center News Much of the month was spent preparing for the All Indian Game Day. Elders participating with the elderly program have been busy practicing for the games. Our core strength and endurance has improved and we are honing in on our skills. We have been playing mock tournaments in shuffleboard and washers and we are continuing to work on strengthen- ing our competitive spirit. Nicer weather has allowed us to practice washers outdoors. We play shuffleboard at the elderly center and go to the gym once a week for basketball, soccer and frisbee throwing. We are looking forward to our days of competition at Isleta. Our 800 and 400 estimated walker/runners spent an afternoon at the track in Tulie getting some new times. As our stamina and strength improves, so do our times. With Senior Olympics just around the corner, we plan on continuing our practice.

Thursday started off fast and furious for the team. Our morning began with the 5K run, 400 and 800 estimated run/walk held at Isleta Lakes. We had 15 elders compete in this event. It was a very cold morning, and we were proud of our group for arriving early enough to get a practice walk and warm up well before the event! We continued on with shuffleboard, soccer, softball, frisbee and bowling. The competition was tough, especially in shuffleboard. One of our games went into double overtime! As competition came to a close, teams gathered for the Parade of Athletes and Team awards. We are proud of our elderly team as they won the spirit award hands down. This years’ theme was Star Wars. Our logo was “Mescalero Apache the Force Awakens”. Our team members were either Jedi Warriors or Princess Leia. We were the complete package with our own Chubaca! A special thanks to all of the elders who contributed their talent and ideas to come up with the idea and them take the time make all of the props and costumes we used, mostly all with recycled material! We were the hit of the parade. We are especially proud to earn this award- healthy aging also means engaging oneself in creativity, social interaction, and being strong in spirit. And while it is nice to win a medal, the biggest reward is that we are investing in our own health and well-being. Here is a breakdown of medals won by the elders in their respective events.

This is just a friendly reminder to please be prepared when going out looking for antlers. We get plenty of search and rescue calls during this specific season alone here at the Conservation Department. Make sure that you are dressed in layers and wear some good comfortable hiking boots/shoes. It is still cold at night so be prepared if you are planning on camping and make sure that your camp fire is properly extinguished. Remember there is no burning on red flag days and also keep in mind the current fire restrictions. The following is a general list of some things you can take along with you while out walking:  A small back pack         Food/snacks Water Knife Matches Compass Map or GPS Flashlight Cell phone with a fully charged battery  Basic first aid kit  Rope Always be aware of your surroundings and watch your footing as there are other wildlife out (Bears, feral hogs, snakes, etc.) If you find yourself lost, make sure you STOP! Sit, Think, Observe & Plan. Another critical thing you can do before going out is letting someone know where you are going and when you plan to return. If you get lost, your location is key and a big help to those who are looking for you. If you call in for a lost individual and they happen to return, please give the Mescalero Police Department a courtesy call letting them know the “lost” individual has returned that way we can call off the search and rescue. We’ve had plenty of occasions where the lost individual returned but we were not aware and so therefore the search and rescue continued. Also, keep in mind fire season is fastly approaching as it is getting warmer and dryer. Be sure to close the gates as cattle operation are in full swing. Antler season here on the Mescalero Apache Reservation is for TRIBAL MEMBERS ONLY. Any violators caught trespassing or littering will be subject to prosecution. Help keep Mescalero beautiful, do not litter! Good luck, be safe & enjoy your hike! Mescalero Responsible Gaming Scholarship Application deadline is April 22, 2016.
