Quemado: Watch Out For Bears

By Debbie Leschner
For the Mountain Mail

Quemado District Wildlife Conservation Officer Mischa Larisch, NM Game and Fish has the following helpful information for this time of year.
The main thing is that the bears are out and people need to keep their areas cleaned up. Do not leave trash or food out and bird feeders need to be taken in at night. All of these attract bears. If we (NMGF) need to trap and relocate a bear, it can be a death sentence for the bear. People need to help and do their part. This applies to both households and camp sites.
Quemado Lake is at the highest level in several years. Fishing is starting to slow down and will as temperatures continue to rise, but the lake and surrounding areas are nice and green with an abundant amount wildlife enjoying the moisture we received this winter.
Quemado Senior Center The Gallup trip will be Wednesday, July 7. Please call in your reservations by Tuesday morning. Activities for the week: Pool Practice on Tuesday, July 6, with quilting and bingo on Thursday. A belated Happy Birthday to those June babies; Ursula Candelaria, Pauline Castillo, Bill Chavez and Carol Pittman. All seniors are welcome. Please call the center at 773-4820 before 9 a.m. to make your lunch reservations.
A Rummage Sale, put on by the Western New Mexico Veterans Group, will be held Saturday, July 10 and Sunday, July 11 from 10 a.m to 4 p.m. in the Veterans' Hall located at the corner of Baca and Church Street in Quemado. Get tremendous savings on many new and used items. There are many household repair and building items, clothing, mattress and box springs, books and so much more. All proceeds go to help local veterans, their families and to restore and repair the hall.
