VOL. 38, NO. 10
From the desk of the President By Ernie Knocloch
he deadline for this article was September 10th, so there’s a possibility that changes after the deadline have occurred. The info I’ve included comes from discussions with various attorneys and residents plus reading present MS laws dealing with non-profit organizations. The original documents setting up the Property Owners Association were written around 50 years ago. MS laws at the present time concerning POA’s/ HOA’s are relatively still undeveloped. The POA is incorporated under the MS Non-Profit laws. Some of the original documents have wording that either contradicts itself in various other documents or, at least, is open to interpretation. Unfortunately, as far as I know, the wording has never been adjudicated to provide legal answers to our specific issues. Additionally, given the unique nature of Diamondhead with its substantial amenities, which is now also incorporated as a city, means that what little bit of law is out there is not always directly on point. For instance, some believe that all covenants have expired
T
since the original documents were written over 50 years ago. Amendments to the 30+ sets of covenants were made at various times so others believe that the covenants expire 50 years after the amendments were made. Based upon the action taken in 2010 when the majority of members voted to move the covenants into the Bylaws without expiration dates, other people believe that the covenants never expire. As mentioned above, as far as I know, none of the items listed above have any specific, legal answers. It has been suggested that the POA request a legal opinion from the MS Attorney General to provide guidance on these issues. The MS Attorney General provides legal opinions only to public officials and public bodies, so that approach will not work. As such, through the years, several legal opinions have been provided to the board by multiple attorneys which have guided how we are operating with respect to covenants and collections. Others have suggested that the POA go to court and ask for a declaratory judgment as to these issues.
DEADLINE FOR THE NOVEMBER ISSUE OF DIAMONDHEAD NEWS IS OCTOBER 10TH
From what I understand, a declaratory judgment can only be obtained if every property owner is served plus all mortgages companies that are involved with any property. There are approximately 5,000 parcels of property involved, so this approach is basically impossible to accomplish. The one item that everyone seems to agree upon is that the POA exists in perpetuity and does not just go away no matter what legal answers are eventually determined. The POA has the fiduciary responsibility to maintain and operate amenities valued in the $20 million range. The POA is continuing its fiduciary duty by collecting dues and pursuing collections against members who do not pay their dues. It is anticipated that in one of these collection cases someone will raise these issues as a defense. We are confident that the actions taken by prior boards in 2010 cured the issue, although we also understand that a court may ultimately disagree. The result of any such case is certain to be appealed by whichever side loses. Should that happen, the entire process may take several years to get final, legal answers from the MS Supreme Court. The collection of dues is imperative to maintaining and
operating amenities here in Diamondhead and we will continue to act in good faith and in the best interests of our commu-
20
nity until such time as there is a case that gives us a final and direct ruling on any of the issues to the contrary.

COMMUNITY S.P.C.A. OF DIAMONDHEAD P. O. Box 6481 Diamondhead, MS 39525 228-861-2287 Spcaofdiamondhead@gmail.com If you see something... By Toni Grey
The day before hurricane Ida was due to make landfall, we received a call from a “concerned Diamondhead resident” regarding a neighbor of hers who had two puppies locked up in a cage crying almost non-stop outdoors. She had talked to the neighbor prior to the storm coming and the
owner of the dogs said that they were hunting dogs (puppies) and they were supposed to be outside. The owner would not listen to reason and the subsequent pleadings of the concerned neighbor, who was especially worried about the dogs being outside during the storm were going nowhere. the possibility of 10” of rain looming, the “concerned resident” called us for help. The S.P.C.A. of Diamondhead does not have any authority to intervene in a matter such as this, but we can give the resident some advice. We reminded her that
last year the State of Mississippi did strengthen their Animal Control Laws with Senate Bill 2658. In this case, the dogs could have drowned in a storm such as Ida and that would have counted as a felony charge on the first offense which could have been punishable by a $5000 fine and up to 3 years in prison for each dog. We recommended that in the future if she or her other neighbors have heard the dogs (puppies) crying they need to call Police Dispatch (228-2559191) and report the incidents. Either Hancock County

Animal Control or the local Police will respond to the call. As a matter of fact, there is also a City Ordinance No. 2012-025 which prohibits animal cruelty in the form of abuse or neglected animals. Plus, the same Ordinance mentions “Animals creating a Nuisance”, which would cover the constant crying or barking. Of course, the most important thing a concerned resident can do is record the crying/barking dogs on video with audio so that the Police will have evidence in hand. We don’t like to think that there are people living in Diamondhead who do not take proper care of their dogs and cats. If you see something indicating that there is animal abuse going on, please say something. We will try to help. The City has very compassionate police officers and even though they are extremely busy, they do take time to help the animals.
EAST HANCOCK LIBRARY By Mary Gobert
October is here but don’t be spooked that you don’t have a book to read! Come in and choose a title that’s seasonal, or scary, or one that lets you escape both of those conditions! Our library is open six days a week to serve the community. Call 255-4800 with any questions you have about
the availability of things you can get from the East Hancock branch. New this month for the little ones is Grab and Go Books! Beginning in October, stop by any time and check out a bag of three books for your preschooler. Inside the bag you will also find related crafts and activities. This is being offered to bridge the gap until the regular, in person story time for Pre-K resumes. Call the library for updates on that! If you’ve finished your latest book and the shorter days of fall bring you indoors sooner, maybe you can take advantage of LinkedIn Learning to teach yourself a new skill. Want to try your hand at data science, software development, or graphic design? Those are just a few of the many lessons for in demand fields you can access free of charge through the library. How about live, online help from expert tutors in Brainfuse? They even have chess tutors! When you do call or stop by be sure and say hello to the newest member of the East Hancock library staff, Kathleen Buck. She hopes to see you soon! Please remember that masks are required at the library right now regardless of vaccination status. Stay safe out there! See you at the library!

Seaux… keep up with us and keep us posted on your activities as well. And don’t forget to share your adventures on our page. Now, summmm of us got a pre-Ida chance to hike a very special and
little-known area: Isle De Jean Charles. Home to Biloxi- Choctaw- Chickasaw Indians; now only 15 families are left on the island, which is being over-swamped by sea-level rise. We walked and met several residents who shared their legacy stories of centuries of habitation and perseverance. Due to the destruction
caused by hurricane Ida, we probably can’t go back there for a while; but put this on your list for future expeditions. And then plan to walk slowly so you can talk to the people… and listen to their stories. Until then, get out there! Stroll around yer neighborhood… Early or late… take a hike!

Please only use the golf cart paths briefly to cut through to an adjacent side street.

By now our golfers know that the greenside “No Cart” markers are no longer on the golf course. We continue to promote the “Scatter” rule which helps reduce the turf damage from excessive wear from carts using the exact same
entry and exit points. We must still all protect our golf course. Even without these “No Cart” markers we must keep golf carts a minimum of 30 yards from the edge of the green.

DMGA By Gene deMedicis
The Saturday Play Day scheduled for October 9 has been postponed until Saturday October 30.
The month that this article covers includes the week that was canceled due to Hurricane Ida. My thoughts and prayers go out to all those affected by this powerful storm. This month’s DMGA competition was highlighted with a hole in one by John Lee on August 11. John aced hole number 2 on the Pine hitting a 7 wood from 145 yards. This is John’s third ace. In the Peers Points competition on August 11 the

DWGAN GOLFING NEWS by Shirley Halterman
Greetings from the Ida survival coast. Guess we really dodged a bullet especially here in Diamondhead. Hoping all of you are safe from Ida and Covid. After postponing our two-day Eclectic Tournament in July we actually managed to play it on two consecutive Tuesdays in August - 3 & 10. During this tournament you play the same nine holes on
two consecutive Tuesdays, and you are able to post the best score you have on each of the nine holes. Our Low Net Winners in the First Flight were: 1st Place = Therese Mauterer, 2nd Place = LaDonna Brown in a scorecard playoff with Jeri Harris who then acquired 3rd Place. In the Second Flight the winners were: 1st Place = Sylvia Corban, 2nd Place = Shirley Halterman and 3rd Place (also in a scorecard playoff) Margaret Sherwood. Third Flight honors were taken by: 1st Place = Brigitte Becker, 2nd Place = Jerry Ingraham, and 3rd Place = Mary Murray. Due to Covid restrictions, we have been somewhat limited to the gatherings we are accustomed to and the photos
are rarer. Just a note: The Pink Hearts Tournament (our annual event to raise funds for Breast Cancer) will be held on October 14th. Even Holes was the name of the game on Tuesday, August 17th. As its name implies, you only need to record the strokes you had on the even numbered holes. Since we played the back nine of the Pine. This meant you recorded the scores you had on holes #10, #12, #14, #16 and #18. Flight 1 Low Net winners were: 1st Place Therese Mauterer, 2nd Place - Toni Rossol, and 3rd Place - Judy Tauzin. Flight 2 Low Net winners were: 1st Place - (in a scorecard playoff) Shirley

Because of the predicted Hurricane Ida, our game for the final Tuesday in August had to be cancelled. We look forward to keeping you well informed of our coming adventures on the Diamondhead golf courses.
There is not a lot to report for August. It was either raining or too hot for enough ladies to come out and play. We only had one week that we played as a group. August 5th we had our Trophy Day Gross

NOTA BENE THE DIAMONDHEAD AVIATOR By Paul Gilbert
I
f you have stories or comments, you can reach me at: aviatorandwriter@gmail.com As I’m writing this edition of The Diamondhead Aviator, I’m counting the blessings that have kept us safe from Hurricane Ida. Initial survey of homes, runway and taxiways shows very little damage. Unfortunately, our wind sock is MIA. Our neighbors in Louisiana took the full force of the storm and we’re working to offer assistance to those in need. One benefit of aircraft ownership is our ability to transport people and supplies to areas that might be difficult to reach by car. Our first airlift went well and we loaded our Lance to the ceiling with supplies, food and clothing. Huge thanks to everyone who donated their time, funds and materials to this effort. We have a few companies interested in sponsoring future airlifts and we’ll be working out the logistics for the next one very soon.
HANGAR TALK MEETS THE INTERNET We now have social media pages for a more interactive experience. Check out Diamondhead Aviators on Facebook and MeWe. Please feel free to use these pages to post pictures and discussions. We have some talented
photographers in our community and aviation provides an excellent platform for some beautiful pictures. I’ll be posting pictures on our pages and encourage everyone to share their own pictures and experiences with our aviation family. A web site for our community should be ready in coming months, and we’ll share the status of that here.
DESTINATIONS They say a mile of road will only take you a mile but a mile of runway will take you anywhere. Our Lance has taken us on some fun one day trips and it’s also taken us to the East Coast and other places to visit friends and family. It’s always fun to see the reactions of people who’ve never experienced air travel in general aviation aircraft. No tiny bags of peanuts on our flights and we never have to worry about missing our connecting flight. As a corporate pilot, I’ve enjoyed being able to bypass the drive completely by taxiing from our home hangar and flying straight to work. Moving along at rates of 150 to 180 miles per hour and not having to worry about speeding tickets helps too. Where does your aircraft take you? We’d love to hear some travel stories.
NOTAMS Ida did some serious damage to the power grid
ADAM JOHNSON
in New Orleans. New Orleans approach is down, the towers at MSY and NEW are both closed as of this writing. This is the first time in my thirty-three year flying career that I’ve seen the absence of class B services in New Orleans, so be careful while flying in the area. It was very spooky hearing all of the calls for ‘New Orleans International traffic’ on 119.5. Lots of helicopter traffic in the area with many flights to area hospitals.
OUR STORY Our Diamondhead Aviation Community has a rich history full of interesting people with fascinating life stories. This community has been home to fighter pilots, airline captains and recreational pilots. No matter what we fly, the love of aviation has helped build a strong community and some great friendships. I’m hoping to tell
ADAM JOHNSON
some of the history of our community in this publication and online. Space restrictions don’t allow pictures here, but I’ll be posting any pictures I get on our social media pages.
DEMAND FOR HANGARS Being married to a real estate agent gives me certain insights into market trends. There are many aircraft owners who keep their planes at nearby airports
and many of them would love the convenience of making the short drive to the South Side. I’ve met others who don’t currently own a plane but may be interested in buying one if hangar space opened up. Our community could benefit from rentable hangar space. The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association recently published an article citing the high demand for hangars across the country. Over seventy percent of
the airports surveyed for the article stated they have long waiting lists for available hangar space. Some owners have had to wait many years for a hangar. Hangar rental rates in our area run from around three to four hundred dollars a month. This could provide a large income for the airport. This has been addressed by some airports that have invested in large hangar projects to capitalize on this increased demand.
