A Memorable Weekend:
Christmas in August and More
by 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

CHAIRMAN continued...
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
What’s Happening?
Congratulations to Phil and Jackie
Payne, Site 30, who celebrated their
Golden Wedding Anniversary (50 years)
on August 14th. May you continue to
share your love and laughter for another
50!
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!
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.”
Congratulations to Brenda Wert, Ranger Department, on her recent retirement. Brenda
was with us for 14 years.
Thank you Brenda...and best wishes to you!

Letter from the President
by 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.

BBQ Cook-Off
The 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, 2015
During 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!

Dog Park News
by 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.

Grounds and Landscape News
by 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 News
by 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 News
by 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.
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.
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.
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.
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

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 616-8969334, 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 News
Long Range Planning
Committee Update
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.
by Gerda Pitcher
by Ben Fifelski
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.

broken water main at the Spash Pad.
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!
Fall Gate Access Hours:
The Main Gate and Phase Three Gate entrances will be open 24 hours/day throughout
the Fall and Winter. Beginning October 15th, the Gates at Phases 1, 2, 4 and 6 will be
locked at dark and opened by 6 am. Thank you.
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 Activities
by 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.

Preparing for Fall/Winter Storage Mode
1. Place outdoor appliances, bicycles, furniture and other items in shelter
2. Make arrangements with Member services to have your trailer winterized.
3. Have your holding tank pumped.
4. Turn off your water at the road and mark your water line with your site number for
winterization
5. Remove items that will freeze in the cupboards. Remove all alcoholic beverages.
6. Defrost and clean your refrigerator. Place baking soda or charcoal briquettes inside
refrigerator to absorb odors
7. Place moth balls under trailer to deter animals and rodents
8. Place your golf cart in storage. Take action to prevent golf cart theft. Remove a rear wheel
or chain and padlock your golf cart to a fixed object or chain your golf carts together.
9. Contact your propane provider to fill your propane tanks. Turn off your propane tanks for
the winter months.
10. Contact your lawn service to rake the leaves in the fall. Review the trees on your site for
dead limbs above and contact a tree service if needed.
11. If you plan to use your trailer in the winter or early spring have a furnace technician
check your furnace for proper operation. Be sure to check the roof vent for bird nests or
obstructions that would prohibit the exhaust from leaving your trailer.
12. Place your watercraft in storage. Make arrangements in the off season to have the
watercraft tuned or repaired or checked. Small outboard motors should be removed and
placed in a secure location. Other watercraft outboard motors should be chained and
padlocked to the watercraft. Place gas stabilizer in your watercraft gas tanks. Have your
watercraft winterized. Consider having your watercraft shrink wrapped to protect it from
the elements.
13. Remove your boat dock from the lake to prevent ice damage. Please do not store your
dock or watercraft in the green area.
14. Remove your small watercraft such as paddle boats and row boats from the lake shore.
All boats must be removed from the lake by November 1st.
15. Close all vents and windows in your trailer and roll up awnings.
16. Turn off the electric at the pedestal at the road and secure with padlock.
17. Give your electric golf cart a full charge and put gas stabilizer in your gas golf cart.
18. Replace your smoke detector batteries
19. Leave a winter contact name with Member services if you are out of state or a great
distance from Sandy Pines. Make sure that Sandy Pines has your correct address and
phone numbers.
20. Remember to turn your thermostat to off in your trailer. Some trailer furnace blowers will
continue to run when the propane runs out and the temperature becomes lower than the
thermostat setting.
21. Make arrangements with a neighbor or friend to check your trailer in the winter months.
22. Watch weather reports for snow accumulation. Remember, Sandy Pines receives lake
effect snow fall which can be larger accumulations than places further inland.
23. January, 2016, all membership cards will be required to have a photo. Please stop at the
Ranger Station to have your picture taken.

Lake Monterey Golf Course News
by 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.

It was a beautiful Saturday in August, as 362 individuals lined up to participate
in the Sandy Pines Rainbow Color Run. This was the second year for this very

will be used to purchase two new AEDs. One will go in the Administration Office
and the other will be placed at the Phase 3 Outdoor Pool.
Here are a few of the pictures that were taken that day. There are more photos
on our website and Facebook page – be sure to check them out!

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.
Helping Hands Group
Sandy 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.
