FROM THE PRESIDENT’S DESK By Bob Marthouse
Dear fellow POA Members, Fall is fast approaching, and our children have returned to school. We continue our busy lives, and Diamondhead remains a superb place to live. I'd like to remind everyone to use extra caution in driving through our community, especially when school buses are receiving or discharging our children. Your POA Board, committees, and employees continue their daily efforts to make Diamondhead special and successfully address the challenges we face as a community. In early September, we were spared from Tropical Storm Gordon. After carefully following the track and participating in conferences with the Hancock County Emergency Operations Center, the POA ceased all operations at the amenities and took actions to secure our facilities. Our disaster preparedness plans enabled us to shut down in a reasonable amount of time and allowed our employees to return to their homes to take care of personal affairs. Once the storm passed, our General Manager, Tom Koger, charged our POA department heads to share lessons
Your POA Board, committees, and employees continue their daily efforts to make Diamondhead special and successfully address the challenges we face as a community. learned during the shutdown and reopening processes for implementation in preparation for future storms. On behalf of the board, I thank all of our staff members for their dedication to ensuring the safety of our facilities and for their quick return to serve our members. As I've stated several times, the beginning of the expiration of covenants, in June 2020, is the most critical issue that your board is facing. As you know, we've established the Diamondhead 2020 Committee to study the challenge in-depth. Each committee member represents one or more areas of interest in Diamondhead including young families and longterm residents. All of the members utilize our amenities from boating to golf to youth programs and more. The committee is researching all possible options for moving Diamondhead forward and will present them to the board for consideration and eventual action. In June of this year, you elected us to represent you, and we take our fiduciary responsibility seriously. We will wait for the
2020 Committee to report its findings and follow a course of action in the best interests of Diamondhead as a whole. The 2020 Committee has and will continue to invite POA members to join them for listening sessions, as they believe that community outreach and input are critical components for developing their recommendations. Social media is abuzz with speculation and rumors about the action the board will take. This chatter is premature, and there is no accurate or official final board or committee decision on Facebook or in any other media. If you have questions or concerns about the future of our covenants, I ask that you address them to board members or 2020 Committee members at their email addresses provided on the POA website. Understanding that we all have a financial stake in Diamondhead beyond 2020, we have painstakingly taken a slow and deliberate approach to develop all reasonable courses of action to the covenant expiration issue that confronts us as a community. I am encouraged by robust attendance at our first two public meetings,
and as we develop as a board, your participation and feedback will be of great assistance. Thank you for your commitment and interest in shaping our future.
MINUTES August 20, 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 Ertel, Director Dick Nolan, Director Stewart Nutting, Director Don Silcio, and Ex-Officio Pat Laird.

EAST HANCOCK LIBRARY Fall is in the air! Surely you’ve noticed it’s only 80 outside now! Well, ok, we might not ever have an exciting change of seasons, but read on because we always have exciting things happening at our library. The Strength and Flexibility Class has caught on like wildfire. We have added an extra weekly session and extended the classes through October. Call the library to register for either Mondays or Tuesdays at 10:30. For the Monday group, classes begin October 1 and for
the Tuesday group it will be October 2. Classes last for one hour. The classes are the same both days, so choose the day more convenient for you. The goal of the class is to improve range of motion and overall quality of life. While it is geared to older adults, anyone can benefit from strength and flexibility training. Choose a day and come get your Superman or Wonder Woman going on. Storytime is back! Every Friday at 10:30 East Hancock welcomes the little ones for stories followed by educational crafts that reinforce story concepts. Another free and local resource for your pleasure.
Make and Create is still happening the first Thursday of each month. This month it will be on October 4 at 10:00, and something different has been added. We will do a Pinterest craft and all supplies will be provided. This month’s activity is “painted rocks,” which surely creative types can make into something outstanding. This program will be repeated at Kiln library on Friday, October 5 at the same time in case you can’t make it on October 4 or if you have so much fun you want to do it again. Authors and Characters @ Your Library will be held at the Bay library on Tuesday, October 9 at 11:45
with $10 optional lunch available and payable at the door. Check the library website (http://www.hancocklibraries.info/) for details as well as information on additional events and services.

After the book discussion, members may choose to extend the fun with lunch at various local restaurants. Membership is now right at 20 members and usually various configurations of about half continue on to lunch.
Come feed your brain, stomach, and the local economy by joining us at LSD Book Club and lunch this month on October 10. Halloween safety is a priority for all. As a public service, Kiln Library will hold a Halloween Safety
Program on Tuesday, October 23 at 6:00 in the evening. Come hear some tips and ideas you may not know of so Trick or Treating can be fun AND safe for all the kiddos out there. See you at the library!

S.P.C.A. OF DIAMONDHEAD, INC. P.O. Box 6481 Diamondhead, MS 39525 228-861-2287 Halloween will soon be upon us, and while it can be great fun for kids and families, it could be very stressful for your pets. Don’t leave pets outside on Halloween night – pranksters can tease them and some pets could be agitated by the extra “traffic” near their territory. Black cats are especially at risk of being harmed around Halloween – many shelters do not adopt out black cats during October as a safety precaution. Once pets are safely inside,

keep them confined away from the door so they can’t get spooked by the influx of children in costumes and dart out the door. It’s a good idea to keep Halloween plants, such as pumpkins and corn, out of the reach of animals. While small amounts can be fed safely to pets; eating uncooked, potentially
moldy, foods can cause big problems. Gastrointestinal upset is possible whenever pets eat something they aren’t used to and eating large pieces can cause blockage. Also, some types of mold can cause neurological problems. You should also keep electric and battery powered decorations out of your pets reach. If pets chew on them they are at risk of electrical shock from chewing on cords or chemical burns from the batteries. Finally, on the chance your pet does escape, be sure your pets are properly ID’d. Collar tags are good, but microchips are best. Our candidate for adoption this month is Mr. G (see photo). Mr. G is one of 6 cats left homeless after
the death of their owner. He has been neutered and is up to date on his shots. Please consider taking him in – he is very sweet and needs someone to love him and look after him. Thanks to the efforts of Penny Rapold, Darling was adopted by a woman whose cat of 18 years had just died. When she met Darling it was love at first sight…and Darling finally has a home that appreciates her loving nature. Lest you were wondering – in the last month our organization spayed or neutered 9 dogs and 9 cats. We would like to hear from you with ideas or suggestions. Our phone number is 228-861-2287 and our email address is spcaofdiamondhead@gmail.com.
adopting healthy lifestyle habits such as regular exercise, weight control, limiting alcohol and by asking your doctor if you should be screened for hepatitis B/C or iron overload.
October has us all thinking pink
If you are already have a condition that increases your risk for liver cancer, you may be a candidate for screening. Ask your doctor. #pinkandgreen #thinkpinkandgreen
but did you know that October is also
Liver Cancer Awareness Month? Liver cancer is treatable and, for some, even curable when caught early, that’s why it is important to be aware of the risk factors. Cirrhosis (scarring of the liver), Hepatitis B and C infections, excessive alcohol use, obesity, diabetes and certain inherited conditions such as iron overload can all increase a persons risk of liver cancer. You can lower your risk by

DMGA By Ernie Knobloch
Due to weather and an early deadline for this article, we actually played only twice as a group. In the POINTS format the team of Gene Demedicis, Maty Herndon, Pat Jarrell and Tony Palmature recorded a +12 followed by Paul Cain, Billy Stroud, Bill Vandervort and a Ghost with +11. The team of Ray Badgett, Dave Gibbons, Chuck Ingraham and Frank Morrow came in third with a +9. The SHAMBLE format had some outstanding team scores led by Paul Cain, Billy Stroud, Tom Woolbright and a Ghost with a -45. That means that they averaged 2.5 points below par on every hole. Wow! A – 42 team score was recorded by Warren Alexander, Don Hertel, Ernie Knobloch and Tony Palamature in second place.
The third place score of -38 was shot by Pat Jarrell, Pat Laird, Dave Stein and Don Perkins. Sixty players played in the Member-Member 5 match event. The Nicklaus Flight was won by Billy Stroud and Curtis Blanchard followed by Chad Curtis and Robbie Russell while third place was earned by Tom Begley and Bill Hatchett. The Palmer flight ended with Ken Forman and Jim Bulger in first place (score of 35 points which was the highest in the entire tournament) followed by Dave Beckner and Mark Singer and then Norwood Landreneau and Vince Altese. In the Player flight Billy Meighen and Tony Chaisson led the way followed by Mike Sheffield and Jerry Jones and then Tommy Guidroz and Dave Ciolino. George Safcak and Larry Osburn came in first in the Hogan flight with Robbie Reidenauer and Harold Bevan and then Robert Walters and Tom Baum as additional winners. The Snead flight was won by Jere Hess and Albert Ragas while Tom Woolbright and Charlie Weber came in second with Dennis Laumann and Pat Donnes earning third place honors. Finally, three one-liners that you might use at an appropriate time. Real golfers don’t cry when
the weather this year but the girls of the DWGA are a strong lot and give it a try as often as we can. These are the results for the following play days. Good friends, good weather, and fun. By the way we need to first congratulate Teresa Ertel for an EAGLE she had during play with the DWGA. This was done while playing the game of get the hell back scramble from the black tees on hole #10. We need to keep her away from the black tees for sure. On May 17 our game was Cha Cha Cha.

DWGAN GOLFING NEWS FROM AUGUST 2018 By Shirley Halterman
Well, it does appear that our number of play days has improved. We actually managed to get in three of our four scheduled rounds during the month of August. Only the threat of lightening caused our last Tuesday to be cancelled. We really are looking forward to more, and cooler, play days next month. The first Tuesday of each month is our “Trophy” play day and winnings are given for Low Gross, Low Net & Low Putts in each Flight plus Longest Drive and Closest-to-the-Pin in each Flight. The August winners were as follows: Flight #1 - Low Gross = Theresa Mauterer, Low Net = Pat VanDervort, and Low Putts = Ann Nutting. Flight #2 - Low Gross = Kitty Gregoire, Low Net = Martha Bryan, and Low Putts = Ruthie O’Neill. Flight #3 Low Gross = Fran Smith, Low Net = Mary Murray, and Low Putts = Dinah Knobloch. Pat VanDevort
took honors for the Longest Drive in the first flight, but no one garnered that spot in either the 2nd or 3rd Flights. In the Closest-to-the-Pin competition the results were: Flight #1 - Pat VanDervort, no one scored in Flight #2, Mary Murray won in Flight #3, and Martha Bryan in the Black Flight. A Chip-In was also gotten by Dinah Knobloch on hole #1. (As a point of explanation: Our courses now have official PGA rated Black Tees. Should you choose to play from these closer tees your handicap is adjusted accordingly. These tees provide an opportunity for golfers who do not drive the ball as far to reach the green in regulation. On August 14th we played a Schamble. For those unfamiliar with this term, simply put each player in the group tees off. The longest/best tee shot is chosen and from then on each player plays her own ball and the team with the best overall score wins. The First Place Winners were the team of Beryl Laird, Theresa Mauterer, Darlene Park and Marsha Roberts. The Second Place Team was made up of Sylvia Corban, Carole Griffin, Ruthie O’Neill, and Pat VanDervort. And, finally, the Third Place Team (playing with a Ghost) was comprised of Shirley Hal-
terman, Kathy Jones and Dinah Knobloch. In addition, Chip-Ins were gotten by four players: Marsha Biestek (Hole #15), Linda DeParto (Hole #15), Shirley Halterman (Hole #15) and Mary Mizell (Hole #17). Seems as though Hole #15 was a lucky number for some players. Black Marks was the name of the game on the following Tuesday. During this game you record a Black Mark on your score card each time you: are in the water, in the sand, out of bounds or putt three times on the green. Winners are those players who have the least number of these Black Marks for their round. We only had enough players for two flights, and the winners were: Flight #1 - Judi Brandon with not even one black mark, Shirley Halterman with just one black mark and Pat VanDervort with only three black marks. Flight #2 - Marsha Roberts with only one black mark, and there was a 2nd Place Tie with both Beryl Laird and Carol Wyrosdick scoring four black marks each. A Birdie was scored by Shirley Halterman on Hole #6. Our congratulations to all who ventured out on this hot muggy day. September should be great providing we can get some cooler, less humid, days and continue to keep the hurricanes away from our shores.
