The Diamondhead POA has been very active this past month with plenty of exciting updates and new initiatives to continue to move our community forward. In May, the POA had our best ever Mother’s Day buffet with over 340 people enjoying the delicious buffet prepared by Chef Brian and staff and folks attending our Kentucky Derby party had great fun. We also recently hosted the Hancock County Chamber Power Lunch and had 40+ local business leaders enjoy lunch and networking. Enforcing our covenants, which maintains our property values and keeps up the appearances of our neighborhoods, will continue to be a focus of the POA. To date, we have brought 240 of the 261 violations into compliance, that’s a 92% compliance rate. We are well on our way towards 100% compliance, thanks to the leadership of Ginger Necaise, the official Covenant Enforcer here in Diamond-

Many of you are aware that Thelma Hopkins has been managing and directing the SPCA of Diamondhead for many years. In addition, whenever the shelter is closed or there is no space available for a stray cat or dog, Thelma will foster them. Often, she will find the owner or someone who will adopt the animal. In some cases, she has continued to foster a few of the cats. Well,
don’t tell anyone, but Thelma had her 89th birthday recently, plus she has developed some health problems, which need to be addressed.

When someone finds a stray, they should call Diamondhead Police Dispatch at 255-9191. Subsequently, the police secures the animal and places it with Sonny Frasier, an SPCA Member. Sonny boards the animal, which includes walking and playing with the dog. He gives the cats excellent care and attention, as well. Sonny is a resident of Diamondhead, insured, and is available for boarding your pets. His contact number is 504-452-5543. Feral cat roundup Feral cats remain a problem in Diamondhead. We encourage residents who can safely trap these cats to call us for vouchers and take them to the vet to be neutered or spayed and receive a rabies shot. If you have feral cats near your home and you do not feel comfortable trapping them, call us at 228-8612287 and we will send a volunteer to do the trapping.

FRIDAY JUNE 7 2019
fantastic folks that love getting together to share camaraderie, good stories, and even better food! Our first block party started right after Katrina in efforts to bring us closer together as we all had suffered so much loss from flood waters. It was nice to see friendly faces and just be together. As the years have gone by, more and more neighbors have joined in on the fun. This year, Tina Finley did a great job of organizing the event, and even asked for all to bring donations for the Hancock Animal Shelter. (Betty Maxwell delivered and presented almost 100 pounds of supplies to Director Shane Wyman of the Hancock Animal Shelter that was collected the day of the picnic.) Shane Finley and Ricky Hester grilled hot dogs and prepared pulled pork, and neighbors from all around brought in wonderful side dishes and desserts. Doug Maxwell provided fun music, the kids enjoyed the North Rec Swimming Pool, Chili and Mojo joined in, and games were played by kids and adults alike. Myra Derry, Linda Hester, and Tina Finely decorated to make things even more festive. Shane Finley led out group in prayer followed by a rush to enjoy all the wonderful dishes to be had. We love our neighbors and cherish the history we share together.

Business CONTINUED, FROM PAGE 2 addressing many of their concerns, most of the recommendations regarding the clubhouse operation, golf shop, and golf course. We also sent out an e-mail survey last month to get feedback on several areas of interest which received a great response. This feedback will be invaluable as we plan for the future of Diamondhead. We will continue to keep members informed of our plans and process moving forward. Finally, some of you may have noticed that the restroom and decking have been removed at the Diamondhead Marina “Ship Store.” This action is in response to problems pointed out in a recent flood plain management audit. Recently, City of Diamondhead officials participated in a Community Assistance Visit (CAV) with floodplain management specialists from the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency (MEMA). The purpose of this visit was to assess Diamondhead’s floodplain management practices to ensure compliance with the minimum standards of the National Flood Insurance Program in order for property owners to be able to purchase flood insurance. While the community received high marks overall, a couple of deficiencies were identified where unsecured structures could cause collateral damage. The Ship Store at the Diamondhead Marina was identified as a temporary structure, which has to meet certain criteria. As soon as the city notified the POA of this issue, we immediately agreed to remediate the problem prior to hurricane season. We are also working with the city to develop a permittable long-term solution. As these solutions come together, we will keep everyone informed. Our plan is to provide a high-quality facility that meets community needs while keeping our homes safe and insurance rates as low as possible. This is a great example of how the city and the POA can work together to address the issues that impact our community. Additionally, the Diamondhead Community Collaborative had its first meeting this past month. The level of cooperation has been great, and we look forward to con-
tinuing our work to move the community forward. As always, I encourage you to come to me or another POA board member and share your questions, comments or concerns. Additionally, if you are involved in a group that meets regularly and would like to hear about the activities and developments in our community, please contact me at bmarthouse@dhpoa.org and I would love to make plans to attend. I enjoyed speaking with the Diamondhead Democrat Progressive Independent Alliance at their monthly meeting in May and I look forward to other invitations so that I can continue to keep all members updated on the POA’s efforts and to help address any questions or concerns that the community may have. As always, I would also love to see you at our monthly board meetings, which are open to the public. We value what you have to say and look forward to our continued communication as we work together to plan for the future of Diamondhead. Sincerely, Bob

Our juniors had a strong state championship runs! Klausen Madison was the first girl to score in the 80s for Gulfport High School and finished Top 12. Peyton Russell finished Top 12 for Hancock High School.

These players work hard on their games and these results are a testament to the great junior golf program that we have a Diamondhead Country Club. Get your junior started in one of our many programs today. Please join us in welcoming Noah Ahlers to our Diamondhead Country Club golf professional staff. Noah is originally from the Gulf Coast. He played his high school golf at Hancock High School and then played for Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College before going to the University of Southern Mississippi to get his degree is business administration. We are glad to have you working with us, Noah! With summer comes tournament golf season so be sure to mark your cal-
endars for our great events. One of DCC’s favorites, The Big Kahuna, is scheduled for June 22-23, the Wheel of Misfortune is back on June 29, and the Hawaiian Couples Invitational is scheduled for June 1-2. If you have the game, we have the entry form. Please join us for any of our golf events if you like testing your game. Please be sure to post all of your scores in GHIN so that you have an accurate handicap index. Any time you play, your score should be posted. Often we see players involved with large groups forgetting to post because they believe someone else might be taking care of the score posting for the group. This is not the case in most situations. Make sure if you play, you post. Any questions concerning your golf handicap can be directed to one of our Handicap Committee members (Roger Schaus,
Ken Foreman, Joyce Teerling, Ron Rech) or our golf professional staff. Keep our golf courses beautiful! When parking your golf carts next to tee boxes and greens please keep all four tires on the cart path. This prevents unnecessary wear and tear on the edges of the cart path. Also, we changed to green and white “no cart” stakes instead of signs in front of each green. Please return to the cart path before the “no cart” stakes. Par 3s at Diamondhead Country Club are cart path only.

A huge congratulations to Bill Roofner. The 92year-old shot a 79 from the red tees with 5 birdies. How many of the rest of us will even be playing golf at
his age? We had a record team score shot in the ABCD 2 Best Balls when the team of Gene Demedicis, Tony Palmature, Bill Roofner (see above) and Dutch Vandervort recorded a score of -47. Yes, that’s correct, -47! The second place team of Fletcher Coker, Pat Jarrell, Jerry Jones and Tyrone Sartin posted -37, which is an excellent team score also. All post-play urine samples came back clean. In the POINTS format Jerry Jones, Tom O’Connell, Tyrone Sartin and Dave Stein shot a +16 followed by Mike Cavataio, Charles McCombs, Tony Palmature and Ray Walters with a +14. The SHAMBLE format was played with an impressive 48 players, the highest number of players to play on a Wednesday in the last few years. A record

Sports CONTINUED, FROM PAGE 26 was taken by Rachel Stewart and Darwin Helms and 3rd Place was garnered by Sandy Merdinyan and Don Hertel. Low Net Winners — 1st Place was taken by Cheryl and Bob Saak, 2nd Place by Fran Smith and Glenn Brooks, and 3rd Place was won by Dinah and Ernie Knobloch. (Unfortunately Rachel Steward and Darwin Helms had to leave before their picture could be taken documenting their 2nd Place Low Gross winning.). The event was followed by a nice lunch in the Club. This event is always enjoyed by all who take part in it. Due to a tournament being held at our home course, several of us had the opportunity to play nine holes at our neighboring course, The Bridges. We played a Scramble with teams of 5 players. We only played for bragging rights and they belong to our 1st Place Team of Jerry Ingraham, Therese Mauterer, Sandy Merdinyan, Charlene Smuck and Pat VanDervort. With only 3 strokes more 2nd Place was a tie between the following two groups: the team of Pattie Blackwood, Marilyn Galus, Dinah Knobloch, Marsha Roberts, and Margaret Sherwood; and the team of Marsha Biestek, Sylvia Corban, Linda DeParto, Shirley Halterman and Fran Smith. It was a challenge and fun to play with many of our usual golfing partners at a totally different course layout.

Longest Drive awards went to again Therese Mauterer in the first flight, Fran Smith in the second flight, Dinah Knobloch in the third flight and Beryl Laird from the Black Tees. Therese Mauterer had a Birdie on #4 and Dinah Knobloch had a Chip-In on #6. Appears as if Therese had an especially good day. Congrats! Just a note about the Black Tees. These are official PGA sanctioned tees placed forward of the Red Tees (the closest tees). When playing from these tees you must do so for at least five recorded rounds to establish a Black Tee Handicap. Several of our gals are now beginning to play from these tees and
soon a Black Tee Flight will be part of our regular playing schedule. On the 23rd of the month, we played Add Par 3s and Par 5s. In the first flight, Ann Nutting and Margaret Sherwood tied for 1st Place and coming in second by only one more stroke was Shirley Halterman. Second Flight winners were Marsha Roberts in 1st Place and Carol Laux and Nancy Sislow tied for second place. The Third Flight also had a tie for 1st place with Sylvia Corban and Beryl Laird recording the same score. Second place was garnered by Ruthie O’Neill. Chip-Ins were recorded by Carole Griffin on hole #9 and Nancy Sislow on #2. On the final Tuesday of April we held a Scramble and invited our fellow golf gals from the Eighteen Holers to join us. Eighteen of these gals took us up on our offer and the results were as follows: First Place Team winners were: Linda DeParto, Mary Alice Harfoush, Margaret Papaleo and Carol Wyrosdick.Second Place Team included Sylvia Corban, Rita Durham, Terrie Garrett and Marsha Roberts. And, last but certainly not least, Third Place Team was composed of Therese Mauterer, Sandra Merdinyan, Vivian Strader and a Ghost. As usual we invite you to join us for 9 holes of golf and make some new friends. Contact our Club House (228-255-3910) for additional information about joining the Diamondhead Nines.
