Aging and Long-Term Ser-
vices Cabinet Secretary Gino
Rinaldi is reminding New Mexi-
cans that the Department recog-
nizes anyone who is celebrating
their 100 h birthday with a Cente-
narian certificate signed by Gov-
ernor Susana Martinez. In 2014,
the Department presented certifi-
cates to 29 New Mexicans. In
many cases, Secretary Rinaldi
hand delivered those certificates•
"New Mexico's centenarians
are such an important part of our
state• They have amazing stories
to share, and have made so many
contributions to this great state,"
said Secretary Rinaldi. "I am al-
ways honored when I have the
opportunity to visit with these
folks and thank them for their con-
tributions to our community•"
In 2012, as part of the state's
Centennial Celebration, Gover-
nor Martinez began honoring
New Mexicans celebrating at least
100 years'of life with a signed
certificate.
If you would like to recog-
nize someone who is celebrating
100 years of life or more with a
signed certificate, send the
person's name and date of birth,
along with an appropriate point
of contact, to the Aging and Long-
Term Services Department• Re-
quests should be submitted to the
Department at least one month in
advance of the recipient's birth-
day. They can be sent to Myles
Copeland by email to
penalties and donations to Op-
eration Game Thief•

sCouting in the area alerted offic-
ers after he saw a large hunting
camp with a deer hanging from a
tree. The hunter knew that the
area had no current hunting sea-
sons open at that time and called
the Operation Game Thief
hotline. Officers went to the area
and found eight men, all with
dries, actively hunting. Three of
them held licenses for Game
Management Unit 34, near
Cloudcroft. They were hunting in
Game Management Unit 55.
"Thanks to an aware citizen,
we were able to make this case,"
Sgt. Kyle Jackson said. "We de-
pend on responsible hunters to
help us protect New Mexico's
wildlife resources."

who killed a deer and a turkey,
and Edgar Flores, 35, held li-
censes in GMU 34 for the same
hun t period• Both said they
thought they had drawn the

their licenseS. Rafael Flores, Sr.
was fined $1,000 plus $232 court
costs and paid a voluntary civil
assessment of $250 for the deer
and $150 for the turkey• He also
surrendered his rifle• Edgar Flores
was fined $2,000 plus $179 court
costs for unlawful hunting. His
penalty was enhanced because it
was his third wildlife-law offense•
