    North Gate crashed by Vandal

    At 11:02 last night a person walked out of Surf Pines and then turned around and proceeded to destroy the exit gate by lifting it back and forth till it ripped off the actuator. We have the person on Video and some still shots that Ken will take to the police tomorrow. We are asking if anyone can identify this person to help the Sherriff catch him. The bad news is that the actuator was torn out (even the old gate would not been able to handle this). So it will be a very expensive repair. The good news is that even if this person has no money our property coverage should…

    Why the South Gates are down and a small web glitch.

    If you noticed both the entrance and exit gates have been knocked down earlier this week. This was a result of the wind not a car blasting though. On October 24 Sunday the entrance gate was blown down at 4:08 PM and on Tuesday October 26 the exit gate was knocked down at about 9 AM. Normally when the winds get to a certain speed and gusts, Ken will open the gates till the storm has ended. This has been the case even before the new gates. Even though the gates were left open the winds came from the South South East instead of our normal South West during bad storms. This…

    Surf Pines has first new street in 22 years.

    If you have driven on Manion you might notice the new home going in about midway on the east side of the road. This new home is on a brand new street in Surf Pines. It now serves Gary Hanson, Stan Sayer and the new house that Hanson is building with Jason Palmberg.  Now what we find is cool is the name they chose. It seems some what appropriate after seeing the Bear Scat we found on Shady Pines a year or so back.

    What to do with your cans and bottles with new Recycle rules!

    Greetings Surf Pines community, My name is Marlie Haggren.  My husband Matti and I live on Ocean Drive with our two young boys Oskar and Hank, and our beloved Dachshund, Nancy. My boys attend Anchor Christian Academy, a local school in Hammond, where I serve on the PTA.  Because we’re a private school and don’t receive any federal funds, we do a lot of fundraising to support the small school.  One of the ways we fundraise is by collecting and recycling people’s unwanted cans and bottles.  All of the proceeds go directly to the Anchor Christian Academy PTA which uses the money to fund extracurricular activities, new equipment, and general maintenance around the school…
