meeting on Saturday, October 27, 2018, 11:00 am.
independent and objective Attorney with no prior affiliation with
the Ranch, Board, Management, or its members to interview some
of the Petitioners. The Attorney’s report found that there was no
evidence to support the allegations of fiscal irresponsibility or
lack of leadership. However, it appears there is a disagreement
with some members as to style of management. The President
will publish a letter in the next CCR News. This issue is closed.
The original recommendation to the Board (in August) was to
issue 200 CCR antlerless permits for the 2018 rifle season. The
original Board recommendation included the ability for the
Conservation Committee to revise the number by 50 permits (up
or down) prior to the actual drawing.
M. Ames read a proposal submitted by member David Briggs
regarding an alternative upgrade to the campground.
D. Briggs proposal included creating drive through sites and
relocating full hook-up sites. His proposal included his services
and numerous volunteers. The Ranch would be responsible for
the cost of material and some additional costs. The proposal
would be contingent upon the Board reinstating winter storage
on campground sites. The proposal was added to the open issue
log for review in December.
Everyone in attendance that had been hunting during the October
archery season reported they are not seeing deer.
Therefore, the recommendation from the Conservation Committee
is to reduce the number of antlerless permits from 200 to 100 for the
2018 rifle season.

recommendation from the Conservation Committee to reduce the number
of antlerless permits from 200 to 100 for the 2018 firearm season.

Library Corner
November’s book selections are Every Breath by Nicholas
Sparks and The Outsider by Stephen King. They are about
polar opposites.
Every Breath is a story of two young people trying to find
themselves and figuring out who they are, how they fit in
with their families and what lies ahead for them, while asking
“how long can a dream survive.”
The Outsider starts with the discovery of an eleven year old
boy’s violated corpse in a town park. Eyewitnesses and
fingerprint point to one of the town’s most popular citizens,
but he has an ironclad alibi. As suspense ramps up, you will
find yourself on the edge of your seat. It will shock you as
only Stephen King can.
