The President’s Report By Ernie Knobloch

Note: The deadline for this article is February 13, 2021, so some changes may have occurred that are not mentioned here. enovations to areas in the clubhouse are presently on schedule to be completed by the first week in March and are presently under budget. A Grand Opening should occur in early March. The changes will result in a more customer friendly operation, addi tional space for different types of activities and attract a wider variety of customers. As of February 5, 2021, 96% of the members who paid their dues in full in 2020 have paid their dues in full again in 2021. A special thanks to everyone who has done that. Since spring is starting now, additional outside activities will begin and, hopefully, some of the COVID restrictions will be relaxed. Some people say that the action taken by the

members in 2010 was not legal. Regardless of how you feel about that, the actions taken were legally recorded in the Hancock County Clerk of Court’s office and are currently part of the POA bylaws. The POA sent out an eblast and posted on Face book, all the documents showing the process and results of the action in 2010. Some property own ers are threatening a law suit against the POA for applying the bylaws as they pertain to the cov enants. The POA Board is faced with two options. Either enforce what’s in the bylaws or not enforce the bylaws. If the bylaws are enforced some mem bers will probably file a lawsuit against the POA. If the POA does not enforce the bylaws, other members have said that they will file a lawsuit against the POA for not following the by laws. All states have laws that require Board members of corporations to act in the best interests of the corpo ration that they represent. What is in the best interest

DEADLINE FOR APRIL ISSUE OF DHNEWS IS MARCH 10TH

of the POA? Obviously, the answer is for members to continue paying dues to support the $15$20 million dollars of amenities that the POA must supervise and main tain and prevent the loss of

property values for resi dents. The second part of this situation is also interest ing. If the POA Board does not enforce its bylaws, and is sued, individual Board members could be found

guilty of not performing their fiduciary responsib ilities and not acting in the best interest of the corpo ration. The general belief is that would mean individual Board members could be subject to losing their Directors and Officers insurance that provides coverage when Board members are acting in the

best interest of the corpo ration by enforcing the bylaws. If you were a volunteer Board member, which decision would you make? I hope to see everyone using all the wonderful amenities that we have in Diamondhead and con tribute to making our community a unique place to live.

EAST HANCOCK LIBRARY By Mary Gobert

Spring has finally sprung and life is ever so slowly getting back on track. I hope the Easter Bunny puts a COVID vaccine in your basket this year along with those yummy choco late eggs! While the library meet ing room remains closed and COVID rules of mask wearing and social dis tancing still apply, you can use many library services six days a week. Here are a few highlights of what’s available: Free books are yours for the taking every day out side the door of the park ing lot entrance. These are replenished regularly. Can’t beat that deal! Computers can be used and printing and fax serv ices are available as they always have been. Books, including current best sellers, can still be checked out. Shuttle serv ice between library branches will still bring any item in the system’s inventory to the East Han cock branch here in Dia mondhead. The children’s book room is open onsite and computers for littles are

available. Story Time, long a fixture of the library’s weekly programs, has moved online for now. It can be accessed through the main web page for the Hancock County Library System. The url is https:// hancocklibraries.info. Additionally, the Pearl ington librarians share a story time on the library’s Facebook page. Check it out! Notices and updates are also put on the library’s Facebook page. Informa tion and answers to your questions are also only a phone call away. The East Hancock number is 255 4800. Plans are underway for Summer Reading. This annual event is open to kids from preschool to teens. More information will be forthcoming, and will be on the main web page as well. The theme for this year is Tails and Tales. See you at the library!

CONTINUED, FROM PAGE 4 living a long life. But it seems more difficult to accept the loss of a young person who has not had the opportu nity to experience life to its fullest. This happened recently to one of our residents, Madison “Mads” Conaway. Mads was only 28 years old and was described as an extremely caring per son who had an unconditional love for family, friends and animals. Mads always had the ability to put a smile on your face. Plus, she loved animals passionately. In remembrance of Mads, Linda Williams and John Hall has set up a special account within the SPCA of Diamondhead. The name of the fund is “Mads Co naway St. Francis Fund,” which will be earmarked specifically for injured animals. Donations for this particular account should be made out to the SPCA of Diamondhead and in the memo line of your check indicate “Mads Conaway Fund.” At this time, we want to thank all the residents who have made generous contributions to us this past year, especially Betty Maxwell who had another successful fundraiser for the SPCA. In addition, Mayor Nancy DePreo donated a portion of her salary, which will help us greatly in our mission to spay, neuter and vaccinate animals in Diamondhead. This month, the Hancock County Animal Shelter (a nokill shelter) is featuring two animals in need of a forever home. “Luna” is a DSH Torti who needs to be an only cat because she does get jealous of others. She loves treats and is affectionate. “Sterling” is a beautiful 1 to 3year old Pit Bull mix. He is calm, laid back and gets along with other dogs. While curious about cats, he mostly ignores them. He has not been around chil dren. If interested, please call (228) 4664516 and schedule an appoint ment.

The program planned for March will be postponed to a later date. We have a lot of business to take care of since we have not met on a regular basis for a year. The nomi nating committee is active and the two members appointed by the president have been selected. The committee will meet before the March meeting and will present the slate of officers for 20212023. The slate will be voted on at the April meeting and installed at the May meeting luncheon. Have you have been going to the nursery and yearning for some of the newer selec tions of annuals and vegetables? Did you succumb? If you planted them in February after your purchase watch the weather and be alert for frost. You don’t want to lose them so soon. We can still have frost in March. The second week in March or St. Patrick’s Day is the recommended time for planting. Brierley Acker, 2552696

Geaux Hiking Club: Map of Shepherd State Park

DH GEAUX HIKING CLUB Marching into March 2021 finds Geaux Hiking Club members, like every one, looking forward with hopeful optimism. After all, spring is coming … and surely with that, a reduced risk of COVID19 infec tions due to an increasing ly vaccinated population. Yup! The birds are singing, the flowers and trees are budding and many of us will be “hitting the trail,” even if we are still tramp ing around alone or in pairs. And that’s what a few Geaux Hikers did a month or so ago when we visited Shepard State Park in Gau tier. According to their website, “the park is nes tled in the heart of Singing

River (Pascagoula River) country, where legend has it that members of the Pascagoula Indian nation linked hands and walked into the Pascagoula River rather than be taken cap tive by hostile Indian tribes. The mournful death chant they sang as they walked earned the Pasca goula River the nickname “Singing River.” The park features hikes along the river, bayou, marsh and upland woods with a large variety of birds and wildlife and we took advantage of several trails: Echo trail, Lulie Shepard Garden, Alpha trail, and Charlie trail. As Tammy said: “When you come to a fork in the road, TAKE IT!” Afterwards, we did … wait for it … go to … LUNCH! (Natch!) We recapped our

visit to a spot that definite ly has the DHGH “seal of approval,” Country Gentle man, where we once again ate too much … (sigh) and went home with more Mississippi memories (and a box of leftovers for to morrow’s lunch … oooh … that baklava …) Seaux … are you making your own Mississippi me mories as you perambulate our local DH trails, your subdivision or even far ther? Make sure you capture those images and post them with your comments to our DH Geaux Hiking Facebook page. Not a member? Just ask to join and one of our adminis trators will welcome you. Everyone is encouraged to join (yes, even you, couch potato!)

The Democrats, Progres sives and Independents Alliance of Diamondhead held a community vigil on Tuesday, Jan. 19 to honor the 400,000 U.S. lives that were taken by COVID19. The vigil took place in the parking lot in front of St. Thomas Episcopal Church. It was part of a nationwide vigil included in the events of Inauguration Week 2021. Diamondhead’s Memo rial Service was conducted by Rev. Dr. Richard Gil lespie with music orches trated by Barbara Knap stein. The bells of St. Tho mas Episcopal Church were rung 40 times at exactly 4:30 p.m. to con nect with the other serv ices being held throughout the country. That was once for every 10,000 souls lost. We thank the Diamond head POA and St. Thomas Episcopal Church for help ing to support this event for the community. Also part of Inaugural Week activities, the DPIA sponsored a Diamondhead food drive for the Hancock County Food Pantry. This local event was a way to contribute to the nation wide Day of Service honor ing Martin Luther King Day. Generous donations from the community re sulted in a van filled with food plus about $700 in donations for the many families in the county who now need help due to the

The visiting royalty were welcomed to the evening festivities. In attendance from Boaters, were Ken and Janie Dropco; from Selene, Steven and Angie Burkhardt and from Olympus, Tim and Kelly Kennedy. The officers and directors from the Krewe of Diamondhead were introduced and thanked for their tireless efforts in all business and event functions. The Captain of the Krewe of Diamondhead, David Sykes arrived into the ballroom to the song, “Drunken Sailor” by Paddy and the Rats. In preparation of the court’s arrival, the Krewe presented the Past Kings to the music of “Carnival Time.” Returning for the event were 2002 HRH, Don

Perkins; 2013 HRH, Mickey Hatem; 2019 HRH, Ron Rhoades; and 2020 HRH, Scott McNamee. After the parade of past kings, the Krewe turned their attentions to the reigning court. From the Boston Tea Party, which inspired the phrase “No taxation without representation,” Duke Shadrick Newman and Maid Regina Newman burst into the ballroom to the song, “Join the Riot,” by Paddy and the Rats. Next up, homage was paid to this country’s founding fathers that came from Boston. Duke Tim Kennedy and Maid Kelly Kennedy stepped into the festivities to “Freedom,” by Paddy and the Rats. The crowd’s attention shifted to the celebration of the Irish immigrants and the Celtic culture. Duke Jeff Hardesty and Maid Stephanie Hardesty strolled through the crowd to “Barrels of Whisky,” by O’Reilly’s and the Paddy Hats. The focus then moved to showcasing all that Boston is today, from culture, sports, culinary and the financial center. Duke Ricky Sheppard and Maid Tracy Sheppard enthusiastically paraded around the ballroom to “Dark After the Knight,” by Paddy and the Rats.

The Royal Maids glittered in their gold and green sequin dresses, while the Royal Dukes were in classic black tuxedos with Blackwatch plaid vests and bow ties. The dukes also represented Boston with their landmark socks and “Don’t Tread on Me” cufflinks. Once the Dukes and Maids took their places on stage, the fanfare sounded to alert the Krewe for the presentation of royalty. To the traditional music of the Royal March, Her Royal Highness, Queen Sara Schafer-Parrington, made her way into the ballroom wearing a simple but elegant formal satin strapless gold gown, married with a stunning necklace that complimented her crown of emeralds and gold. She donned a Blackwatch plaid shoulder sash with her royal pin honoring King Kevin’s Irish heritage. Her hair was done by Shelly Taylor at Halo Boutique in Diamondhead and her beautiful makeup was done by Jill Sanderford of Diamondhead. Waiting with great pride, the court, as well as the Krewe, welcomed Ali’I Honua the 46th, Kevin Parrington, to the traditional music, “If I Ever Cease to Love.” The King entered the ballroom in a traditional

Italian made white tux donning his king pin, crown lapels and “Don’t Tread on Me” cufflinks. To represent Boston the king also wore socks flared with Boston landmarks and sports teams. He then took his place, next to his queen and the royal court on stage. The King and Queen paid recognition to their

special guests, Wes and Jill Sanderford, Hank Breazeale and Jessica Stevens, Kevin Farnady and Lena Shearer, Megan Scheid and Anne Marie Kay. The Krewe paid respect to the past Queens of Carnival for their reign and continuous service. In attendance were 1996 HRH Alice Burkhardt, 2002 HRH Carrie Perkins, 2003

The royal court then adjourned the stage in preparation of the King and Queens’s first dance. King Kevin and Queen Sara returned to the dance floor and led the evening’s dancing to the song, “It’s Good to Be King,” by Tom Petty. The Krewe then enjoyed a fabulous dinner, prepared by Diamondhead Country Club. Dancing and merriment continued through the evening as the Alpha Tribe Band entertained all with their festive tunes. The DJ for the event was Ron Tallent and the official photographer for the royal court was Penny Majors. Although the Krewe of Diamondhead will not be holding their traditional Mardi Gras parade on February 13th, they are working tirelessly planning a parade for the summer.

We’ve had some really good days to play golf so far this new year. When the weather has cooperated the golf activity has been fairly busy. Our golfing guests, from near and far, continue to compliment Diamondhead Country Club on our service, hospi tality, facilities, golf course conditioning, and our community as a whole. We appreciate your help spreading the good word about golf in Diamond head. March is just one of many exciting months for golf. Unfortunately, The PGA Tour Champions Rapiscan Systems Classic was cancelled and thus no qualifiers being held. We hope to have the opportu nity to host again in the future. We will host the 2nd An nual Gulf Coast Collegiate on Feb. 28 to March 2. Al so, the 3rd Annual Jack O’Neill Memorial Golf Benefit will be held on March 27.

Sports CONTINUED, FROM PAGE 19 formation. Our new season starts in midMarch and runs into May. It’s not too late to join. Weekly practic es and competitions. It’s the real deal! Usually, I would say it is critical that we all fix two ball marks and fill two divots every hole ... any two will do! Now more fitting would be ... Ball marks and divot repair ... It’s your course, so fix four or more for either or and they don’t even have to be yours! We look forward to see ing you “PLAY MORE GOLF.” Let’s all get out and enjoy our beautiful golf courses and practice facil ities. As always, let us know how we can help.

DMGA By Gene deMedicis

I encourage everyone to consider joining the DMGA. You will experi ence good competition with a great bunch of guys. This year, in addition to the white, gold, red and black tees, members are playing from the combo tees as well. These tees make the game more en joyable for those of us who don’t quite hit it as far as we once did in our golfing career. For golfers who have reached “octogenar ian” status the member ship fees are waived. The past month present ed many challenges due to the weather conditions. Several of our rounds started with temperatures in the thirties or after a heavy rain shower. In the

Low Net Best Two Balls competition, David Barba to, John Bunce and AJ Dilley won with an excel lent score of minus 18. Gene deMedicis, Don Crosby and Jim Sherrouse finished second at minus 10. Finishing third were Renny Pangan, Lee Kor mondy and Dave Stein. John Lee, Joe Murray and Leonard Alphonso finished fourth. The closest to the pin competition was dom inated by the Lee brothers. Sam Lee and John Lee won three out of four closest to the pins and Marion Rotolo won the fourth closest to the pin. After an early morning rain shower the format for the Jan. 27 competition was changed to a scram ble. Winning with a score of 8 under par was the team of John Lee, Chuck Ingraham, Leonard Al phonso and Richard Jar rell. Two teams tied for second place with a score of 7 under par. Gene de Medicis, David Barbato, Dave Stein and AJ Dilley shared the prize with Tom O’Connell, Don Crosby and Arthur Burgoyne. Closest to the pins were won by Gene deMedicis, Sam Lee, Dennis Laumann and John Lee. Notice that the Lee brothers once again took home fifty per cent of the closest to the pin prize money. The Low Net Best Two Balls competition on Feb. 3 started with temper atures in the low thirties. Sam Lee, Warren Alexan der and Marshall Brown won with a score of minus

13. Two teams tied for second with a score of minus 6. Tom O’Connell, Don Crosby and Arthur Bur goyne shared the prize with John Lee, Marion Rotolo, Dennis Laumann and Richard Jarrell. Closest to the pins were won by Sam Lee, Joe Murray, Billy Stroud and Warren Alex ander. The game for Wednes day, Feb. 10 was rained out after the teams completed only six holes. Hopefully “mother na ture” will be more kind to the DMGA as springtime approaches.

DWGA By Colleen Jones

January was cold and wet but we were able to fit in some golf. Jan. 7 was our monthly Trophy Day Net scoring on the Pine Course. The first flight had a tie for first with Liz Bell and Margie James with a net score of 79. The sec ond flight winner was Colleen Jones with a net score of 83 and the second place winner was Margaret Papaleo with a net score of 90. The only closest to the pin was Margie James on hole 6 so she got all the pot. There were three people who got chipins, Teresa Ertel, Linda Metz and Margaret Papaleo. Jan. 14 we played Even Holes minus 1/2 Handicap on the Cardinal Course. First place was Rita Dur ham with a score of 31.5. Second place was Jeanne Hudgins with a score of
