HOMELESS VETERAN’S COAT AND BLANKET DRIVE Off and on through the years I have held a homeless veteran coat and blanket drive.

This is dependent on the needs of the Biloxi Veterans Administration (VA) in providing for these veterans. It appears there is a great need again this year.

So, for whatever reason the veteran is on the street, it breaks my heart.

Anyone who served their country should not be living in the woods or on the streets, unless by choice.

PUBLIC SERVICES KEEP DIAMONDHEAD BEAUTIFUL Keep Diamondhead Beautiful has been very hard at work these past few weeks with decorating the Guard House at the entrance to Diamondhead for the changing seasons/ holidays and with preparing to start work on our ‘Community Partner Grant’ that we received from Keep America Beautiful. This grant will provide plants to enhance the areas around the water/ sewer lift stations, kayak launches, and at East Rec. At the Diamondhead Dr N lift station we are planting clumping Bamboo in front of the fence facing DHN and on the left as well to screen it from the neighbor on that side.

Three 12’ tall Crape Myrtles will also be planted in front of station. Along the roadway from the bridge to the access road, we are planting 9 Crape Myrtles.

Both Kayak launches will see new plants going in. On the southside we are adding 3 Bald Cypress trees and a large palm tree.

With help from the POA we will be cleaning out the existing Palm trees that have become hidden by the overgrowth along the canal just left of the launch.

The Kayak launch on the northside will see several cold hardy palm trees added near the gate and shrubs planted along the fence row up Bayou Drive.

The area at East Rec that was unfortunately, impro-

EAST HANCOCK LIBRARY

By Mary Gobert

Keep DH Beautiful

Guard house at front entrance decorated for Fall and Veterans Day and the new flag pole.

perly cleared will see an addition of up to 40 Bald Cypress trees planted in groups of threes all along Diamondhead Drive East.

The groupings will be similar to the plantings of the cypress in the median on the Southside. Final

placement of the Bald Cypress trees will take place once the area has been officially cleared for final clean up and planting. It will be very beautiful once completed. Thank you for bearing with us during this transition.

We are also very excited that our new 40’ flagpole has arrived and by the time you are reading this it will be up and flying its 8’x12’ flag. It should be a very impressive “Welcome to Diamondhead”.

The most important thing to begin with is A HUGE AND HEARTFELT THANK YOU TO THE DIAMONDHEAD CITY COUNCIL! They approved substantial funding for our library for the coming year, showing that they actively affirm its importance to the community. THEY ARE AWESOME!! Many people throughout history agree with them and also promote the importance of libraries. For example, Laura Bush said, “Libraries allow children to ask questions about the world and find the answers. And the wonderful thing is that once a child learns to use a library, the doors to learning are always open”. Of course, that pertains to adults as well as children!

In keeping with Mrs. Bush’s sentiment, the library will host an activity for children on December 1 from 1:00 to 2:30. Our first ever Teddy Bear Tea will be held that day. All children are invited to join in the fun, which will include games, a story or two, a craft, and refreshments. Bring your teddy bear and join us for a good time!

Strength and Flexibility classes continue! Every Monday and Tuesday on 12/3 and 4; 12/10 and 11; 12/17 and 18. Come join us for an easy but effective workout in a comfortable and pleasant atmosphere!

Make and Create will be held on Thursday, De-

S.P.C.A. OF DIAMONDHEAD, INC. P.O. Box 6481 Diamondhead, MS 39525 228-861-2287 In the November article, there was an inadvertent error. Thelma Hopkins is not resigning from the S.P.C.A., she is retiring as President, but will continue to serve on the Board as “Past President”. Sincere apologies to Thelma for

the incorrect information.

For quite a while now there has been a problem with Snapping turtles maiming and/or killing the ducks in the large duck pond near the Community Center.

The end of September, Thelma received a frantic phone message from a resident who was witnessing a huge snapping turtle attack one of the domestic geese at the pond. The caller was terribly distressed reporting that the goose was struggling, screeching and her children were crying.

Thelma spoke with Toni Grey, Vice President, about the incident. Since Toni lives adjacent to the pond, she explained that she had been aware of the problem for years and has wanted to do something about it.

This is the first time a resident has asked for our help, so Toni proceeded to find a solution to the over population of the Snapping Turtles.

Toni called the POA office and was told to contact Wildlife and Fisheries because the POA does not get involved with relocating wildlife. Subsequently, she spoke with Robert Jones of the Museum of Natural Sciences in Jackson. He understood the problem completely and even told her that he has a video of a Snapping Turtle grabbing a porcupine, killing it and eating it. He explained that these turtles can grow to be 50 pounds or more and the females can lay up to 100 eggs.

Mr. Jones wrote a letter to the POA office explain-

FRIDAY DECEMBER 7 2018

ing the process that could be followed to reduce the population of the Snapping Turtles. He recommended a professional trapper affiliated with USM in Hattiesburg. The POA office reiterated their position regarding the re- location of wildlife. Toni felt that she needed to bring the problem to the attention of the POA Board.

They invited her to speak at the POA Membership meeting on October 19.

Toni began her address by reminding everyone that the pond was a beautiful and peaceful introduction to Diamondhead and that families love feeding the ducks and geese. She noted that currently there is only one duck, one little mallard, three Muscovy’s, one of

MINUTES MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS DIAMONDHEAD COUNTRY CLUB AND PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION, INC. October 15, 2018 A regular meeting of the Board was held at the Diamondhead Country Club, Diamondhead, MS. President Bob Marthouse chaired the meeting and called it to order at 7:00 PM. Present were President Marthouse, Vice President Craig Harvey, Secretary Karen Rice, Treasurer Bill Hatchett, Director Gary Becker, Director Teresa

which is limping and six domestic geese, two of which are crippled. She explained to the residents that the turtles would not be killed....only relocated.

The trapper will not remove all the turtles, just reduce the population.

The S.P.C.A. agreed to pay the trapper’s fee and all she needed from the POA Board was their approval.

The Board did approve the proposal with the caveat that the trapper is self-insured and that he

will sign a release of liability from the POA. Unfortunately, the weather has turned too cool to trap turtles effectively now because they descend to the bottom of the pond for the winter.

They will ascend in the Spring.

The trapper has scheduled the job for March.

The Spca of Diamondhead is in desperate need of a volunteer who is Facebook savvy and can help us with our Facebook page. If you can help, please call Toni Grey at 228-234-5396.

We would like to hear from you with ideas or suggestions.

As we head into Winter, it is summer South of the Equator including in Australia, the Land Down Under. This month we will focus on wines from the Southern Hemisphere, particularly from Australia and New Zealand although we may find one from Argentina, Chile or South Africa as well.

Australia has several renowned wine regions including the Barossa Valley, the McLaren Vale and Coonawarra, all located in South Australia near Adelaide. While justly famous for their Shiraz, Australia also produces outstanding Cabernet, Chardonnay and other varietals. Their neighbor, New Zealand is especially noted for its Sauvignon Blanc but also produces a variety of great wines.

Come see what we find!

DIAMONDHEAD GARDEN CLUB Diamondhead City is once again a bird sanctuary! On Tuesday November 6, Diamondhead City Council voted to declare Diamondhead bird sanctuary as indicated in the proclamation presented by the Diamondhead Garden Club. In past years Diamondhead was designated

as a bird sanctuary under POA leadership. Being that Diamondhead as well as Mississippi are part of the spring and fall migratory bird path, Diamondhead Garden Club wanted our community to have the bird sanctuary designation in future years; the Club has worked on a resolution to promote this designation to Diamondhead City Council. Garden Club members placed blue bird houses on the golf courses and a Purple Martin house near Twin Lakes; we also plant bird, bee, and butterfly plants in our home gardens and other places.

At our November meeting MS Extension Agent Christian Stephenson shared with us information about plants and flowers that will attract many birds, bees, and butterflies. In January the Garden Club will participate in the Great Backyard Bird Count as we observe the many varieties of birds we find in our community.

At December meeting the Garden Club will celebrate the Holiday Season with a luncheon and plant exchange on Wed. Dec. 19 at Diamondhead Country Club; at 10am with a brief Garden Club meeting; also several members will share small Holiday arrangements; they will be been given small vases in which to create a display for the Holiday season. Many beautiful and interesting plants will be exchanged by our members; it’s always fun to speculate which unique or beautiful

change, not to exceed $15.

Also, mark your calendars for Wednesday, December 19th from 2:00 until 4:00, at the Country Club.

We will be hosting a free “Holiday Tea” open to the ladies of Diamondhead!

Please come join us and bring a friend! There will be a collection of nonperishable food items or monetary donations for the Hancock Food Pantry; they are in need of both, especially at this time of year!

Hope to see you for these fun events!

by Krewe President Betty Maxwell. Proud sponsors of the derby were Diamondhead Council Member Ward 2 Alan Moran,

North Bay Auto Center, Savoies Foods, Paulette Synder, realtor with RE/ MAX, State Senator Philip Moran, and Olympus President Betty Maxwell.

So what goes on at a derby in a ballroom?? Six jockeys lined up on the stage, and when two giant dice were thrown by the race’s sponsor, the jockey would advance a space.

The first one to move 10 spaces won the race. The fifth race was the Super Hero Race, run by male jockeys in capes! The sixth race was the Presidential Sweepstakes, run by the winners of the previous 5 races, who were Lenore Madden, Colleen Welch,

Ja’net Bonura, Cassandra Godbold, and David Motz.

The owner of winning horse received a monetary award and was declared the Overall Derby Winner.

Ja’net Bonura now holds that title.

So what’s a derby without betting?? Rick Sierveld, our Pit Boss, and his hardworking staff, Kelly Kennedy, John McDonough, Sue Foster, and Katherine Larsen efficiently took the money from the eager betters. They changed real money for funny money, which they used to bet on each race. Winning and losing tickets were drawn at the end of the evening for fabulous door prizes.

The 50/50 was won by Robin Meith.

All of this frivolity could not have happened without the hard work of Chairperson Betty Maxwell, Music Man Doug Maxwell,

Olympus is the only Krewe that puts on a big early fund raiser. The event is open to Krewe members and friends and we welcome new members. We’re a small Krewe and we like it that way! We treasure the unique events and customs that set us apart from the other Krewes. Call Membership Chair Mary Alice Sierveld at 363-1923 for more information.

VFW POST 2880

By Donald E. Ball, Adjutant

Kevin Allemand Jr. selected Teacher of the Year VFW Post 2880 of Diamondhead announced that Kevin Allemand of Hancock County High School was selected Teacher of the Year for 2018. Kevin teaches U.S. Government and Economics at Hancock High School. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Education from the University of Mississippi, and a Master’s degree from the University of Southern Mississippi, with emphasis on Student Affairs Administration. He was selected as the Hancock High School STAR Teacher for 2018 and was named the 2018 University Of Mississippi Practitioner Of Distinction. He epitomizes professionalism and

Kevin Allemand Jr.

Kevin Allemand Jr.

is a true leader.

Additionally, Kevin sponsors multiple student organizations. As sponsor of the History and Government Club, he has taken students across Mississippi and to Washington D.C. for history competitions, but he is most known for his annual Look Around Mississippi trip.

Six years ago Kevin began taking students on a four day journey around Mississippi so as to foster an understanding and appreciation of Mississippi and American history.

To date, students have visited over 20 Mississippi towns and cities and have visited museums, heard lectures from university professors and had the opportunity to meet state legislators, Governor Bryant and Civil Rights Leaders Charles Evers and

Ed King. Students come to class on the first day asking “Where are we going this year?” Moreover, last year he brought every HHS student in a social studies class to visit the traveling Vietnam Wall.

As the Chair of the History Department, he works diligently to ensure HHS students receive the quality education they deserve.

He is always searching for new curriculum resources and always striving to make Hancock High a better place to learn.

His Teacher Of The Year credentials will now be forwarded to the VFW District 1 for further competition, and from there to the VFW state level, and from there to the VFW National level.

We fully expect Kevin to win at every level of competition.

By Ernie Knobloch

On Saturday, December 10, a play date will be held followed by a meal and the Annual Meeting where officers for 2019 will be elected. It’s time for some new guys to step up and run the DMGA Board in 2019. Basically you just have to volunteer to be on the Board. Can we count on you?

Al Mast made a Hole-inOne on #13 of the Pine.

Congratulations!

The ABCD 2 BEST Balls format was played three times last month. The best overall team score was a -30 recorded by Ray Badgett, Al Corban, Paul Painter and Tom Woolbright.

The second best round was shot by Gene Demedicis, Tony Palmature, Marty Herndon and Ron Rech with a – 28. Both of those rounds showed some outstanding scoring.

In the PEERS format the team of Dick Armstrong, Charles Cangelosi, Al Mast and Ralph Strader led the scoring with an excellent team score of +5. The second best scores were “Even” shot by Mike Cava-

taio, Warren Morgan and Billy Stroud plus Harold Garrett, Pat Jarrell, Gary Riera and Bill Roofner.

The Mixed Bag format continued the outstanding team scoring when Paul Cain, Dave Harris, Dave Stein and Ralph Strader recorded a – 21 followed by Marty Herndon, Paul Painter, Bill Roofner and Tyrone Sartin with a -18.

The POINTS format produced scoring of +9 by Lee Bell, Bernie Breen, Dave Gibbons and Robert S. Smith followed by Ray Badgett, Gene Demedicis, Marty Herndon and Ron Rech Rech with +5.

As you review the best scoring last month, the names of Ray Badgett, Bill Roofner, Marty Herndon, Ralph Strader and Gene Demedicis were mentioned at least twice; good month of scoring for them.

In the Closest to the Pin competition, only Warren Morgan won twice while there were 22 other individual winners.

The Top Ten money winners going into December are Ton O’Connell, Gene Demedicis, Marty Herndon, Ernie Knobloch, Berni Breen, Mike Cavataio, Pat Jarrell, Tony Palmature, Tyrone Sartin and Warren Alexander.

In terms of number of times winning Closest-tothe-Pin Mike Cavataio has 14 wins followed by Tom O’Connell with 12 and Gene Demedicis with 9.

Sixty other players have won at least once.

Three other rule changes for Senior Golfers beginning in 2019 are: A Rule 2.d.6 (B) – A ball hitting a tree shall be

deemed NOT to have hit the tree. This is simply bad luck and luck has no place in a scientific game. The senior player must estimate the distance the ball would have traveled if it had not hit the tree, and play the ball from there.

A Rule 3.B.3(G) – There shall be no such thing as a lost ball. The missing ball is on or near the course and will eventually be found and pocketed by someone else, thereby making it a stolen ball. The senior player is not to compound the felony by charging himself with a penalty.

Remember to play and attend the Annual Meeting on Saturday, December 10th!

DWGA NEWS Here we go again. Try as we might the DWGA had another tough going since the last newspaper edition.

No heat, just rain! We did manage to get in a few good events. They are as follow.

During October the DWGA Club Championship was scheduled. One day was played on the Pine and the next time the

October 27 got cancelled. Sorry. And wouldn’t you know it, November 8 was also cancelled due to rain!

As of this writing the DWGA had the Invitational Tournament scheduled the first week in November and guess what?? Rain.

Rain. Rain. It was rescheduled to a Wednesday the following week but the weather again was not looking too promising. The rain came but the field of players persevered and finally got the tournament in with a few rain delays and horn blasts.

Play safe and expect some bad shots. Let’s hope for good weather to come.

this month’s winners are as follows: Flight #1 - Low Gross, Ann Nutting; Low Net, Carol Laux; and Low Putts, Kathie Pierson.

Flight #2 - Low Gross, Margaret Sherwood; Low Net, Beryl Laird; and Low Putts, Pat VanDervort.

Flight #3 - Low Gross, Jerry Ingraham; Low Net, Marsha Biestek; and Low Putts, Ruthie O’Neill.

On Thursday, October 4th, the Nines and the 18-Hole gals combine their efforts to support our Annual Pink Heart Tournament. This year’s event raised $2,300, which Linda DeParto presented to Joan Nicely of the Pink Heart Funds. We know what good these funds can do for her organization, and we are proud to provide DWGAN GOLFING NEWS support each year.

Normally, our Nines Gals play our Two-Day Club Championship in August of each year. This year we found it necessary to reschedule it for Tuesday, October 30th, and the following Tuesday, November 6th. I delayed writing this article by a few days so as to include the results of this yearly event.

On the 30th, although the weather began a bit foggy, all the gals entered got in the first nine holes (playing the back of the Cardinal Course). The following week, on November 6th, we again ventured out to compete in this Championship (this time playing the front holes of the Cardinal Course). Skies were

cloudy and a bit threatening, but we were not daunted even playing the last couple of holes in somewhat steady rain.

Back at the Clubhouse for our luncheon celebration, we may not have looked our best, but we had the satisfaction of having completed our task.

This year’s overall DiamondHead Nines Club Champion with the lowest 2-day Gross score was Theresa Mauterer. Great job, Theresa, even though the conditions were not the best you made us proud.

Low Net winners for Flight #1 were: 1st Place Ann Nutting, 2nd Place Susie Fontenot, and 3rd Place - Carrroll Gothie. For Flight #2, the winners consisted of: 1st Place Kathie Pierson, 2nd Place Nancy Sislow, and 3rd Place, Shirley Halterman.

During this competition, we also reward those who scored the Longest Drive in each Flight and the Closest-to-the-Pin. Longest Drive winners were: Sue Richards in Flight #1, Judi Brannon in Flight #2 and Marsha Roberts in Flight #3. Closest to the Pin winners were: Ann Nutting in Flight #1 and Nancy Sislow in Flight #2.

No one got on the green in the Third Flight. Mary Mizell got a chip-in on hole #18 on the 30th. Applause, Applause to all who participated!
