And they did much more before their demise in 1942, seventy years ago this June.
Make note of this...do any of you know of someone once association with the CCC? Or any bit of information you might give me. If so, please email me at e@qtx.net.

A Note of Thanks........sent from Carl "Cal"Calloux 's Family.....
To our friends and neighbors in Ransom Canyon, thank you so much for your thoughts, prayers, cards, wonderful food and acts of kindness. Daddy, Carl “Cal” Cailloux, passed peacefully at home with loved ones around. We appreciate those who came to the funeral home and to his celebration of life service. Dad was 102 and lived in the Canyon since 1981. You would remember him by his special wave as he sat out front watching you drive by. He loved the canyon and each of you. We are blessed to live in a community of caring people. With love, Cherie and Larry Deardorff, Jeanneane Hedspeth Simpson and families.
A VERY HUGE "THANK YOU" to the Ladies Luncheon Group - for their monetary contribution in
funding and furnishings at the Ranch House, and most especially the Brides' Room. These additions will be enjoyed by us, as residents,
as well as, those renting our facility. Thanks LADIES.....and as further suggestions, and contributions are made, we hope to acknowledge all !
***********************************************************
Summer's.............not quite over.........but, it is getting closer!!! (however, it seems the weatherman doesn't know it yet)
As my and Roland's travels took us to New York City........thru the benefit of the tickets won at our Kentucky Derby, thru Envoye' Travel.............am feeling compelled to share a few words.............
Upon making plans to see "Ground Zero", not much thought was given to, who would lead the tours, and what to expect, except knowing that the
10th Anniversary was coming up, and many plans were being made in preparation for that event. So, it was with complete surprise when we began the tour to
meet family members of those lost in the disaster that occurred on 9/11/01.
If you have opened the attached photo, you will have already seen, what was in my camera viewfinder, as I lifted it to my eyes just prior to snapping
the shot at Ground Zero. That was an "attention getter", and certainly made me aware of all of the crossbars, in the windows which we were looking thru,
toward the construction work being done on 8/11/11.
The Mother and Aunt of two of the individuals, killed that day, were our Tour Guides, and others, just like them are the ones presenting the tours on
a daily basis, so it is very quickly evident, that you are going to learn more than you imagined. The many facts shared, as well as the emotions shared
were done in a very professional manner, yet, you knew that it is this "one on one" sharing that makes all of us remember that day, once again.
As we volunteer within our community here, it was a great surprise to see the New Yorkers volunteer to share their time, story and emotions, with the
rest of the world, or at least those who, like us, came to view the current progress, after 10 years.
Several new friends were made..........and that was "the most pleasant surprise of it all".
Without going into detail about the Museums, wonderful Italian dinners.........revisiting sights....seen before......I must say the 9 days
spent there, were especially wonderful. On to Atlantic City...........(not much success at the slots).....then on to Philadelphia.....
Talk about History............that was my first time to visit the City (and I would go back any time).....it was also facinating learning about the
City.............. and..............if you catch me out and about.............I will probably bore you with the details!!!
Needless to say, we were glad that the "earthquake didn't bother us as we were driving back to New York City.....and we left on Wednesday, before the
rain and hurricane invaded the area".................so.............YES, it was a very enjoyable, delightful, (fattening) trip...........
AND I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT...............TO ALL WHO LIKE TO TRAVEL.........CALL SIGRID !!!!
Am wondering...........as the summer winds down........and the pool's last day is this weekend....remember
FREE SWIM DAY - MONDAY, LABOR DAY....SEPTEMBER 5TH...
Am wondering, has someone given some thought to becoming the "New Pool Manager?"....for next season?
As mentioned before, Shawnda & Joe Martin, are finishing out this season (be sure to say a BIG THANKS)
so the POA Board IS NEEDING SOME HELP HERE........... Please contact any of the Board Members, with
your interest.......(the ice cream event would be a great time to visit about this)....or before!!!

Jackie,
I continually place ads in the POA board, but I've never had one single call resulting from the ad. Would it be possible to let people know, in the Ransom Notes, that I do pet sitting, since it is a service for the canyon?

Hi, Jackie!
The trash company needs to start picking up trash in the wee morning hours in order to beat the heat – it is very hard on the drivers and on the equipment. Would you please notify people that everyone needs to put their trash out the night before in order to ensure that it will be picked up.
Thank you!

Shawnda and Joe Martin have "given us so much"....of their energy...their time,
and devotion to Ransom Canyon.....as Ranch House Manager, as "cleaning crew"....and
as Pool Managers.....................and now they are "stepping down"....to allow some others to do these things.
They will continue out the "season for the pool"............so don't think they are "walking away right now". They aren't!!
However, the Ranch House Manager effective, August 2nd is now Ron Bornick.............and we have a new "cleaning crew"
which is now effective per POA Board meetiing. As for the "pool management".............we will be looking for someone with the expertise and talents to do this position, so if you know of someone, or a couple that might be interested..........please, contact one of the POA Board members.....as that is a HUGE posAition that will need to be filled. Joe and Shawnda are such a unique couple to have handled all of these duties.......hiring wonderful lifeguards.........being certified in the Pool Management.........safety....and taking care of the many "aspects....of the pool". They will be difficult to replace................ As the Board appreciates them very much, and we KNOW that YOU do, as well..................please LET THEM KNOW ...........and we hope you will Say..."THANKS TO THEM....many times.!!! "
It has been wonderful to see "devoted residents to our Canyon", and what a difference can be made thru their
efforts..............and they are still here to express your deep appreciation.........to them and the sons as well!

The Slatonite has been a great asset to Ransom Canyon, allowing our news to be published weekly, by Mary Benton,
and 'WE THANK HER FOR DOING THAT WONDERFUL SERVICE'.........Thanks Mary for your time and effort!
(It has been in place for the last 2 1/2 years.)........and helps to serve our area, in absence of the "revered ECHO"
which published the Ransom News for many years!
SPEAKING OF NEWS..........at the last Ladies Luncheon, Elleta Nolte, (who had edited the Echo for many years)
and has authored "A Place Set Apart".....had her newest book "Indeed, you can"....and I took it to Ruidoso to read,
(in the cool mountains, you know)..........and read it in one day. What a treat that was.............and I MUST
send her a note of thanks, for sharing her thoughts,her philosophy, and delightful humor.......I only can aspire to
have the outlook on life that she continues to have!!! She is a "dear"..........to many hearts in Ransom, and I am
one of those who "admires her deeply".

Library Notes............along with........"Praises..........and Much Thanks"....
All of the 40 participants in the Art Project(Paper Collage), planned by Carla Temple....was a HUGE SUCCESS,....per
Kim Copeland., Librarian.
Carla Temple....planned each and every detail.....each participant received....a Canvas, paint brushes, background paper,
subject matter, glue, sealer, scissors, matting frames as well as a bag, to put all of the items. (donated by Carla Temple)
Carla, has put her Money, where her heart is..........in the young people, who "really wanted to have this day"!
After the detailed instructions were given, the young participants became Artists....and so many of the Helpers are
Artists, within their own right. It was, I am sure, a special joy for all of the Artists to see the completed pieces.
The many helpers..deserve and get a "BIG tHANK YOU.... they are...Cherie Deardorff, Debra Clark, Aggie Hambly, Helen Musiak, Jackie Floyd, Jean Baily, Linda and Candice Carson, Brooksye Ratliff & Donna Ricks............
As a completion of the day, refreshments were served, games were played..........and all of the children seemed to have a great time!!!
As you see, Carla, and the other participanting Helpers; I do hope you will take a moment to extend your "Thanks"...to
them for making a special difference in these young children's lives. Artists, especially recognize the benefit of having
an adult encourage them toward activities which use the "creative mind"...........because, someone did that for THEM!
We, indeed have many special Artists, here in Ransom Canyon; and I extend my personal Thanks to each and all!!!

The Race of the Roses..............has been run.............and those attending the First Annual Kentucky Derby
in Ransom Canyon Ranch House............I believe had a great time!!!
As a brief recap; Approximately 75 residents, family and friends, and some (who found us on the internet) attended our event; and the
Mint Juleps and Mimosas were a hit...........as well as the "table of Derby food".
The final numbers are still being worked, against the expenses, however, we can say "with a great party..........enjoying the Island"......and
also making some dollars..........is always a good thing. And......the hats..........and outfits.........fit the occasion............very well!!
Many "thank you's " to all of those holding volunteer post.........from the greeters at the front entrance, to those offering the "tickets for
your favorite horses".........to the "raffle for the 50,000 travel miles"...........with Envoye' Travel and POA............to Martha Hise Cieszinski, doing
a wonderful presentation as Mistress of Ceremonies. She presented awards to Ladies competition in the hats arena...Rose Hoeve....to the Gentleman for his
Derby competition..Ron Bornick...........and then the "Total ensemble" Joy Fulton......for Ladies and Gent..........Gerald Rogers..
(I think those are all correct, and in essence of time...will verify before the next notice)
The 50,000 Travel Miles.....winner..........is........(was)....Jackie De Vore Lindsey.....None, other
than myself......and yes...I did purchase many tickets.......AND I do assure you that, after taking the pre-sold tickets to the Ranch
House on Saturday...........and gave them to Sigrid..........I was no where near the the tickets after that........As a matter of fact, I don't even
remember who drew out the name......I think perhaps Joan Luman...........
Either way, I will be making travel plans...........and taking the Bartender, Roland, with me, of course...........
Many other door prizes were given..........too numerous to mention today.........and much thanks to be given...........and I will do that soon.
Special thanks to: Helen Musiak, and Tom Musiak on a most successful Silent Auction....
