A Memorable Weekend:Christmas in August and Moreby Kel Kronemeyer

First of all let me say a huge “THANK YOU” to the Albrecht family, Site N-480 and friends, for the wonderful display of Christmas Blowups and lights on the way to the water park. Be sure to thank them personally. It was truly a gift of sharing their passion and time to provide the items and the considerable time and effort to set up and take down. The members of Box Canyon Circle also deserve praise and “Thank You” for their usual excellent annual display. There were many others who put forth great effort to decorate in beautiful and creative ways. Thanks to all who had a part in making “Christmas” a memorable weekend.

It was a memorable weekend also in not such a pleasant way as many in the park chose to believe rumors and lies instead of giving our President and Board of Directors the respect they deserve by withholding judgement until they could learn the truth about our Violence Response Program which is so much more

than rangers carrying guns. I submit that we all have the same concerns. However, your president and board have chosen to be proactive instead of reactive and are in the process of developing a very well thought out, responsible, safe training program for our rangers to protect them and all of our members from the irrational violence that plagues our entire nation. We live in a different world than the world of the 70’s when Sandy Pines was founded. If a deranged person can go into the most sacred environment, namely a church prayer meeting, shoot and kill several people how can we say it can’t happen at Sandy Pines? If a deranged person can go into an army base, several theaters, many schools and kill innocent people how can anyone in their right mind say it can’t happen at Sandy Pines? It is so much more pleasant to say it couldn’t happen but it would be irresponsible to be unprepared.

I believe that God gave each of us a mind to use. He also gave us emotions that can be good but are often used to destroy through fear. He has given us the ability to choose how we are going to react in every situation. Before you react please pray for God’s wisdom. Let faith in the leaders you have chosen who have taken the time to become informed, replace your fear. Incidentally, for all who are fearful that something might happen to you or your children if the rangers are armed, statistics prove that your children and you yourself are in far more danger of being injured or killed each time you get into a car and travel on the road than suffer injury or death in an accidental shooting. Yet we haven’t stopped putting our children in cars. We haven’t stopped allowing our teenagers to drive with minimal training and experience. We haven’t stopped allowing our younger children to ride with our teenage “limited training and experience” drivers. Let’s think before we react emotionally. Let’s be informed before we jump to judgement. James in his book in the Bible says “ Know this my beloved brethren, let every man be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger, for the anger of man of does not work the righteousness of God.” James1:19-20

May each of us shut our mouths and carefully listen long enough to truly hear the wisdom your president and your board has had to consider, plan and prepare for this excellent “VIOLENCE RESPONSE PROGRAM.”

Thank you to Fred Elders, Site 496, who assisted a man who had driven his golf cart into the lake. Fred was on his porch, heard a crash, looked out and noticed a person on a golf cart had gone through the split rail and went into the water. Fred indicated that the person was leaned over into the water and he assisted the person out of the lake. Thanks, Fred, for your quick response time!

Congratulations to Brenda Wert, Ranger Department, on her recent retirement. Brenda was with us for 14 years.

Letter from the Presidentby Gene Van Koevering

I don’t have a clue where August went, but here I sit writing a September Footprints article. August was great in so many ways this year. We had a tremendous Christmas in August with the kind gesture of a number of Members that put out decorations, but the decorations on the main road between phase 4 and 5 that was done by the Albrecht

Family of Site N-480, was inspiring and appreciated. Thank you to their family and friends and to All who made Christmas in August, 2015, an event to remember!!

I would like to congratulate the new Board Members that were elected on August 15th at our annual election: Marti DeVries, Rog Grinwis and Rob Klein. I am looking forward to working with you, beginning already this month.

New Directors will attend an orientation meeting, prior to their first official Board meeting that will be held on September 18. If you are able to come to that meeting, I would encourage you to do so, and congratulate them personally and wish them well. 2016 will have a number of opportunities for the Board to move Sandy Pines forward with confidence into the future, so please stay in touch with them and stay informed.

Thank you also to the retiring Board Members Kelvin Kronemeyer, John Spoelman and Greg Maichele for their faithful service to the Members of this park. We truly appreciate your work and consider it well done!

Also, I would like to say thank you to the Members of this park for your unwavering commitment to myself, the Board, the Staff and Volunteers. Your attendance at the Annual Meeting, as well as your comments, emails, phone calls and visits to my office are humbling.

Thank you for coming out to vote, and thank you for showing your support by passing the ballots by such large margins. I was so pleased and excited for Sandy Pines, because I view the voting activity, and the passing of the ballots as a big first step in showing the support of the membership in their commitment to prepare Sandy Pines and Lake Monterey Golf Course for the future, as well as your confidence in the Board and Leadership of this park.

Those of us in these positions thank you and assure you that our commitment will remain firmly in place, always seeking to make decisions and plans that will strengthen and preserve the future of this park, of our members and of their investments.

September will find Sandy Pines becoming a much less busy place as kids go back to school and parents begin to close their sites down. 2015 was an exciting, challenging, frustrating and wonderful year to be in my position. Thank you to each of you, and I mean that. There were many discussions with Members that have views other than mine, but that is what makes any plans and programs better, and makes me and those that work with me, more careful to know what we are doing and why we are doing it.

Whether you agree with an issue or not, you are holding me accountable to explain why I make the decisions I make, and I truly appreciate it. I don’t mean to say I enjoy it, but I do know that if makes me a better servant to this park.

If you didn’t get to the Annual meeting to hear the Presidents Report, it is on our website if you care to read it. Finally, on behalf of our Staff and myself, thank you again for the blessing and privilege to serve you here at Sandy Pines.

Dog Park Newsby Bill & Joanne VanderWall

We appreciate everyone helping to keep our dog park clean. You are doing a great job! Please remember that it is very important to pick up after your pet wherever you are, not just in the Dog Park. Please remind your children, when walking your pets, to pick up after them when out in the park.

If you are new to Sandy Pines, we would like to tell you about our Dog Park.

The Dog Park is located in Phase 6, behind the bathroom. It is a fenced in area for your pet to run and enjoy themselves, in a shady area. There is water for them to get a drink, with a bench and table in the shade for you to sit, while they play. There are baggies for you to pick up after your pet, and a pail to dispose of it.

Keeping your dog exercised and content, will keep your neighbors happy too.

BBQ Cook-OffThe BBQ Cook-Off Contest was a great success! We had some amazing judges, Gary Peters, LMGC Manager, Steve Deyarmond, Ranger Department Supervisor and Gene Van Koevering, Park President, who had the tough job of tasting all the wonderful entries! The Grand Prize winner was Pop Pop’s BBQ.

Pop Pop’s took 1st place with their Pulled Pork and also their BBQ chicken. Congratulations to C.B. Bursk who took 1st place in the BBQ Ribs category. Thank you to Dave Annis for his work putting this together, and to everyone who participated in the BBQ cook off! We loved tasting your delicious food!

Thank You, Face to Phase Sponsors, 2015During the summer season, Gene sets aside seven Saturday mornings so he can get out into the Park and visit with our members. He schedules a stop at each Phase and enjoys coffee and cookies with anyone who wishes to come out and ask questions, express concerns, or simply say hi!

We would like to take a moment to thank our 2015 Sponsors of these events, who provide the coffee, cookies and $5 gift certificates for you.

Thank you to Superior Cart Company, Yoder’s Services, Jim Warner and the Dairy Dip, Clean Sweepers, Inc., Westhouse Home Improvement, Bakhuyzen Landscape Management and Dick’s Market. You are appreciated!

Grounds and Landscape Newsby Nelson Bouma

As the sun is going down and the shadows come, I am amazed how the flowers are beginning to rest. It seems early for some of the trees to drop their leaves and nuts already.

Have you noticed the bridge in the little Park across from the Café? The colors match the picnic tables now. Thanks to those who repainted and repaired the boards and seats. It looks great!

We planted four Memorial Trees in the Memorial area. I’ll be putting in more stakes soon, and we will be planting more trees this fall. Get your order in, if you are looking to plant this season.

The Chapel entrance has taken new shape and new color. Thanks to Bert Bakhyuzen and crew for a great job!

We are working on the Main Entrance landscape to get more color there. We used plants from the Garden Club garden, and some new ones.

It’s time to trim back all of your various plants with thorns, roses, barberry, etc.

Thanks to everyone who weeds the CC garden areas during the season, and also to those who have reworked your Circles or Courts.

We will be upgrading 15 more campsites this fall and early next spring. Campers were happy with the new sites that we had already completed.

We will be working on trimming the letters of SANDY PINES, across from the Dam area. Here’s a little fun fact – there are 554 bushes creating those two words.

There are new signs on each of the CCs 1-13. They have reflective lettering so you can see them at night, too.

I’m in the Park and if you have any questions, just stop me when you see me.

Inspector Newsby Ralph Smith

Well, here we are into September already. What a great summer we have had in the park this year. As we all start getting busy with the kids back to school or just getting ready to return to our winter homes, here are few things to keep in mind. We still need to have our lots cleaned up and our trailers and porches clean. It has been very busy this summer. Lots of new trailers have come into the Park, and members have been real busy making changes around their sites, decks, porches, garages and a lot of landscaping are looking real good.

Now is the time, if you don’t think you will be able to have your lot cleaned up in the spring, to get in touch with one of our contractors and have them do it for you. This gives you more time to enjoy your time here at Sandy Pines. Please keep in mind that if you need permits they are available online. You can fill it out and email them to me if you would like, and I’ll let you know when it is approved. As always, if you have any questions, feel free to give me a call at 616-896-7286 or email me at [email protected], and I will help you out with any of your questions. Have a great fall at Sandy Pines.

Here is our Zumba group with their awesome instructors, Lotta and Bev. Thanks, ladies!

Park & Garden Newsby Jack Schmidt

It is hard to believe but the summer season is already coming to an end. It just seems like yesterday we were getting ready to open for the summer.

We have had a great year at the Park and Garden and it is because of the members allowing us to serve you with our services.

As we close out the year, many of you want your boat to be taken out of the lake and returned to storage. Please call at least 3 or 4 days ahead of time to schedule the boat removal. Please make sure we have plenty of room to place the boat on your lot. That will allow us to drive the pontoon trailer out from the boat.

For those of you who used the Maynard Softener program this year we will begin picking up the softeners as soon as you close up for the winter. We would like you to come in to give us a date to pick up your softener. If you are interested in getting the softener again for

2016, we have a contract form for you to sign before you leave the park this fall. There is a discount if you let us know before you leave for the season.

If you are on the self install program, you can return the tank to the propane cage anytime. Please mark the tank with your lot number. If you want the softener again next fall you will need to sign the contract at the store before you leave.

Our hours will change after September 12th. The Park and Garden Hours will be Friday 10 am to 4 pm and Saturday 10 am to 4 pm. We will be open September 18, 19, 25 and 26. If you are in need of deliveries of materials, or other services, you can call 616-896-9334, and leave a voicemail and we will call you back to set up an appointment with you.

The Marina will be open through Labor Day.

Maintenance Newsby Ben Fifelski

Summer seems to go by like the blink of an eye! It’s hard to believe we are thinking about winterizing already. Here are a couple of tips to help make it an easy transition. Be sure to clearly mark your white hose by the riser. This is a great idea for two reasons. First, it makes it easy to identify your line for the person doing the winterizing, and second, it ensures that you don’t hook up the wrong line in the spring, and flood yours or your neighbor’s trailer. This has happened.

Be sure to take the time to read your winterizing form, and note any changes that would be important information for the people winterizing your trailer. Feel free to draw a map on the back of the form, detailing your outside faucets and any other information you feel is important to note.

Enjoy your remaining time at Sandy Pines during the 2015 season! Safe travels to those of you who will be leaving us shortly after Labor Day. See you in the spring!

Long Range PlanningCommittee Updateby Gerda Pitcher

Hello again, another month gone, where does the time go? The kids will be going back to school soon, and we as a committee are making plans for our future here at Sandy Pines also. We will be looking at what surveys to bring to the members and find out what you want for our park in the future. We only have two more meetings and our year will be complete. We have lots to discuss and get ready for spring. Please enjoy the rest of your time in this great place we all call home. We will all be closing our places soon enough for the season.

Enjoy your time away and we look forward to seeing you in the spring.

Winter Address Info:Did you notify the office to change our records to your winter address and phone number? The Post Office does not notify the office when you turn in a forwarding card, so unless you let us know what your winter location is, we may not be able to contact you in case of an emergency. Please be sure to update your phone number and e-mail address, too, if those change during the winter months. Thank you!

Senior Adult Activitiesby Carol Hoffman

Next year, in 2016, this group will again be the Senior Adult Activities. Sue Stank is now our new president, Donna Adams is vice-president, Wauneta Bushee, is secretary and I will be the treasurer. Our goal is to have a lot of fun activities directed at seniors, but also for other ages. All the activities that we have been doing should remain the same, but we will also be adding some new ones. We welcome any new ideas, especially things we can do on the week days, when it isn’t so busy. Following are the remaining activities for this 2015 season:

Monday, September 7 (Labor Day) – Free Bingo in the Pavilion from 2 – 4 PM for everyone 10 years old and over. Popcorn and water will be available for a donation.

Friday, September 4 – Farewell Supper at 5:30 PM in the Pavilion for seniors and those that have been attending our potlucks. You do not have to bring anything, but we do request that you sign up for this supper at the Sandy Pines office by Sept. 1.

Saturday, September 19 – Adult Bingo Appreciation Night for those 18 years old and over. We will be having a special party with food and door prizes for all our Adult Bingo players starting at 6 PM. Make plans to come for this special event. Bingo will start at 7 PM.

Saturday, October 3 (Octoberfest) – Free Bingo in the Pavilion from 2 – 4 PM for ages 10 and up, followed by a Potluck/Soup Supper at 5:30 PM, also in the Pavilion. Make plans to join us for one or both of these last events of the season. The 2014 potluck/soup supper was awesome. We had lots and lots of hot soups and other goodies. This is a great way to end the 2015 season and you won’t regret it if you come. Bring a pot of soup or a dish to share and your tableware, plus your drink if you have a special one. No alcohol is allowed in the Pavilion. We do have hot water and instant beverages, plus bottled water.

Lake Monterey Golf Course Newsby Gary Peters

Labor Day: Come down and get your Dollar Hot Dogs and other food specials.

Clearance Sale: In September we will be having a sale on Golf related merchandise. Come by and check out the deals.

Consignment: We will no longer be taking new consignment sale items. Existing consignment items must be picked up by the end of the 2015 golf season.

Course Maintenance: We will be aerating the greens on the back nine on Wednesday September 23rd and the front nine on the following day, Thursday September 24th, weather permitting. Additionally, we will be converting to a 3/8 inch hole versus the 1/2 inch hole used in the past. The 3/8 inch hole will allow the greens to heal in quicker.

Reduced Food Prices: Just a reminder, we have lowered our pricing on most food items.

New Sandy Pines Member Benefit: Effective immediately we are offering the membership a special… if you bring in two or more guests, we will make a price break of only $18/per guest which includes one cart rental. This is for Sandy Pines members and their associates, only.

Online Tee Time Reservations: In the past, members have been told to make tee times only online. We would like to let everyone know that is not required anymore, while we still encourage online tee time scheduling, we would be happy to assist via phone, should you be having problems.

Reminder: We would like to remind golfers that at this time of year, other than early spring or late fall, only foursomes or less will be allowed to play. More than four slows play and throws off tee time for those following you.

We Will Miss You, Lloyd!

The Ranger Department, and Staff at Sandy Pines, would like extend our sympathy to the family of Lloyd McClellan on his passing. Lloyd worked for the Ranger Department for the past 10 years at the Phase 3 Ranger Station, and previously, as a Boat Ranger.

Lloyd, and his wife Helen, volunteered on numerous occasions around the Park cleaning flower beds and assisting with other tasks. Thank you, Helen, for sharing Lloyd with us for the past ten years. He will be missed.

Helping Hands GroupSandy Pines has a group of very kind-hearted, ambitious, ladies who meet once each week to sew and create new clothing for various missions and children/adults in need. These ladies meet at the Pavilion from 9 am to 3 pm every Monday during our season. They donate the items of clothing that they create so some little kids will have new clothes to go back to school in. They make dresses decorated with lace and colorful buttons and elastic topped pants/shorts for the young men. Mom gets a new, colorful apron to wear while working in the kitchen. So far this year, they have made ? dresses, ? shorts and ? aprons.

The supplies that are used by these ladies are donated by each of them. You can help, too, if you would like. They could use some monetary donations to help purchase thread, buttons, fabric, etc. if you are called to help. No donation is too small…simply put your donation in an envelope, with Helping Hands, on the outside of the envelope and drop it off at Member Service or at the Country Café. Some of the dresses, pants and aprons are on display at the Café, if you would like to see what the Helping Hands Group is making.

A HUGE thank you to the following ladies who volunteer their time and talents, so those in need can receive some nice, new items, in time for school to begin! Judy VanKlompenberg and Dee Bassett are the ladies who got this group started, and they are joined by Lorraine Eding, Barb Meiste, Marian VandenBrink, Shirley Mae Meints, Janet Wright, Mary Vredeveld, Betty Kraai, Jane Ponitz, Onetta Siegersma, Marge Bourma, Esther Korzilius, Judy Shaffer, Glenda VanDoeselaar, Cindy and Roye.

Sympathy is extended to the following members and

their families:Helen McClellan, Site 952, on the passing of her husband, Lloyd, on July 28. Lloyd was a longtime Ranger for Sandy Pines. He will be missed.

James & Karyl Childs, Site 628, on the tragic and unexpected passing of their son, Grant, on August 7.
