August CCR Shooters Corner
Here we are in August already, the sunset of summer
vacation and changing season into Fall. Pretty soon
everyone will be dusting off bows and arrows and hunting
rifles & shotguns to take afield for the real targets instead
of paper bullseye and clay pigeons.
Please note that all the target backstops have been
repaired by the Ranch maintenance department for your
usage on the rifle range. Be sure to thank the crew if you
see them around. Time is running short to get your
practice in before the weather turns cooler. Be sure to
maximize it while you are out there and pay heed to the
safety rules for your protection.
If you have any suggestions for improvements or other
upgrades you would like to see on any of the ranges, please
contact us thru the CCR office ATTN: Shooting Sports
Committee.
Skornia Family
New Members - The Skornia Family
Hello Canada Creek Ranch! Our family includes Adam,
Emma, Lilian (3) and Owen (1.5). Adam was raised in
Freeland, MI and moved to the metro Detroit area to
complete schooling at Wayne State University for
Mechanical engineering. Emma was raised in
Birmingham, MI and attended Madonna University for
Bachelors of Science in Nursing. Emma was previously a
RN with Beaumont Hospital and is currently is a stay at
home mom raising Lilian and Owen. Adam is an engineer
with FCA. We currently reside in Oxford, MI. Together
we enjoy archery and hunting, however Adam also enjoys
long range shooting and taking Lilian fishing at a lake
near our home.
We met up north in Lupton, MI on Henderson Lake. Both
of our families have cottages that have gone back
generations on this lake. Adam was raised with hunting
and fishing on his families hunting land and introduced
Emma into these sports while dating. It was such a staple
in our relationship that we chose to marry on the property!
Growing up Adam has previously been involved with
Ducks Unlimited, Whitetails unlimited and National Wild
Turkey Federation.
Adam stumbled upon Canada Creek Ranch while
searching for our own property throughout northern
Michigan and found “for sale” listing mentioning CCR and
began to research more regarding this outdoor club. After
learning more and visiting CCR, this is a place that has
the best of many worlds: a sense of tight community,
fishing, hunting, various ranges and activities for our
little’s to be apart of.
We are excited to be able to raise our children within a
safe place that allows so many opportunities of activities
all in one place. Thank you for reading about our little
family, we look forward to meeting our new neighbors
and creating memories!

Library Corner
August is here and it’s going to be a hot one. We have
lots of books this month, mostly donated. Thank you,
members, for your generosity.
First is a book called A Sow’s Ear donated by the author,
one of our members, John Lengemann. It’s his first novel.
A Sow’s Ear is set in the thumb of Michigan. You will
find it a compelling drama and a trip down memory lane
if you have ever traveled through thumb.
The Boy From the Woods by Harlan Coben will keep you
guessing.
Rising Thunder by Wayne Stinnett will take you south of
the border in the newest Jesse McDermitt novel.
Long Range is the newest Joe Pickett novel by C.J. Box.
You will learn about grizzly attacks and long-range rifle
shots.
Lastly, we have Masked Prey by John Sandford. High
political people kids are being targeted by a sinister group.
The law can’t help them, so they call in Lucus Davenport
to save their children.
Thanks again for all the donations. We just received a
bunch of kid’s DVDs. Please don’t forget to use hand
sanitizer before and after touching the books and wear
your mask for others.
REMINDER!
You can purchase your Michigan
Hunting and Fishing Licenses
