Lloyd Van Sickle

Van Sickle is the big "call the police" Mayor of a very poor town call Lake Wales. He has done nothing to help the poor people of the city. He has fired a few people, stores have closed, Main st has packed up their bags and left. What has he done, the same as Joe Hunter, Nothing. Please E-Mail all the doing of Van Sickle and I will be happy to post them on the blog. Thanks

Doctor Visit

A couple, aged 70, went to the doctor's office.The doctor asked"What I can do for you?". The man said, "Will you watch us have sex?".The doctor looked puzzled but agreed; when the couple had finished, the doctor said, "There is nothing wrong with the way you have sex." and he charged them $100.This happened several weeks in a row.The couple would make an appointment,have sex,pay the doctor, and leave.
Finally the doctor asked, "Just exactly what are you trying to find out?. The old man said, We're not trying to find anything.She is married and we can't go to her house.I am Married and we can't go to my house.Holiday Inn charges $89; Hilton Hotel charges $100.We do it here for $100 and I get $80 back from Medicare for a visit to the doctor's office.

This joke is for the Bingo Paul family

This guy had a very attractive wife who was always wanting clothes, jewelry, etc., but he was not too well off. One day his wife came home with a diamond neckless. The guy asked: "Where did you get that?"

His wife replied: "I won it at bingo"

The next night she came home with a mink coat. The guy asked: "Where did you get that?"

His wife replied: "I won it at bingo."

The next night she came home with a Mercedes Benz. The guy asked: "Where did you get that?"

His wife replied: "Look!! Don't keep asking where I get my things!! Go upstairs and run my bath for me!!"

His wife came upstairs to find a small amount of water in the tub. The wife asked: "How come you put so little water in the tub?" The guy replied: "I didn't want to wet your bingo card".

Lloyd Van Sickle

People driving to fast or going thru stop signs, call Van Sickle and he will get the police down here to ticket the person. His phone number is 863-324-6191 The cost of the fine is $140.00. He is very good at calling the police, he call the police on me, accusing me of having a AK47. Well the police came and they found NO AK47. I told them it was not me but Van Sickle who has a AK47. Does this guy ever tell the truth?

Would you believe he is part of the Bingo committee with Bingo Paul. They all know where the lose money is.

The Bingo game is all in the family, his wife Carol does the books.

Bowing Alley cost

Would you believe the cost to repair the pin setting machine is $50,000 and another $50,000 for new lanes, and another $20,000 to clean, and get rid of the mold that is growing all over the bowing alley. Another cost to dig up the grounds to put in a drainage system to clear the bowing alley of water. We are talking about $150,000 to fixed the bowing alley. I say, keep the locks on the doors of the bowing alley. No other community has a bowing alley. Can you see a 80 year old person picking up the bowing ball and throwing it down the lanes?

Ballroom taxes

CDD paid $66,000 in taxes for the club house while other communities pay nothing. The CDD says its all about what county you live in, yet they still don't have a answer after two months or more. Whats on the TV CDD?

CDD MEETING

The CDD is spending money like its going out of style. A new carpet in the ballroom? $1200 approx cost. Are they crazy, there are no rips, holes. or tears in the carpet. Get a carpet steam cleaner for 1% of the price and you have a new carpet. This spending money is crazy.

Tax, Tax, Tax

Subject: How many zeros in a billion?

This is too true to be funny.
The next time you hear a politician use the
word 'billion' in a casual manner, think about
whether you want the 'politicians' spending
YOUR tax money.

A billion is a difficult number to comprehend,
but one advertising agency did a good job of
putting that figure into some perspective in
one of its releases.

A billion seconds ago it was 1959.

B.
A billion minutes ago jesus was alive.

C.
A billion hours ago our ancestors were
living in the Stone Age.

D.
A billion days ago no one walked on the earth on two feet.

E.
A billion dollars ago was only
8 hours and 20 minutes,
at the rate our government
is spending it.

While this thought is still fresh in our brain...
let's take a look at New Orleans .
It's amazing what you can learn with some simple division.

Louisiana Senator,
Mary Landrieu (D)
is presently asking Congress for
250 BILLION DOLLARS
to rebuild New Orleans . Interesting number...
what does it mean?

A.
Well.... if you are one of the 484,674 residents of New Orleans
(every man, woman, and child)
you each get $516,528.

B.
Or... if you have one of the 188,251 homes in
New Orleans , your home gets $1,329,787..

C..
Or... if you are a family of four...
your family gets $2,066,012.

An owner of the Deer Creek Golf & Tennis Resort Phase Three-A Homeowners Association, Inc. in Davenport alleged that developer Larry Maxwell still collects HOA dues under the threat of liens and foreclosure from owners, despite the fact that turnover took place many years ago.It seems the developer filed the original deed restrictions naming his for profit company the manager of the HOA "FOREVER" and included the ability to collect fees from all owners "FOREVER."

Cypress Gardens

In October 2001, Polk County developer Larry Maxwell purchased a significant equity position in Cypress Gardens and plans to develop 100 acres for residential or commercial use.

Published on: 12/23/2001

Jeb Bush and his six-member Cabinet, the trust would pay Cypress Gardens owners Larry Maxwell and William Reynolds $22 million, or $154,930 per acre, by Feb. 24.

Cypress Gardens owner Larry Maxwell is asking the county for access to seven acres of land illegally cleared a month before the park closed so he can build houses on it.

Larry Maxwell is the majority owner of Cypress Gardens.

Owners Larry Maxwell and Bill Reynolds closed the park because of low attendance,

Cypress Gardens supporters successfully pleaded with state officials last week to try to buy the park to keep Maxwell from bulldozing the property to make room for the condos.

Now that park owners Larry Maxwell and Bill Reynolds have a little money - combined payments for the park equal $20.5 million - they can pay off their debts.

HOA Rules for the Homeowner

According to Cyber Citizens For Justice, homeowners should do the following to "fight for their rights:"

Learn the rules and laws.
*
Don’t ignore letters received from the association. Respond immediately by certified letter.
*
Do not send emotional e-mails and/or telephone calls.

Don’t rely on verbal agreements or promises, and always create a paper trail.
*
Most letters received from board, management and/or attorney are aimed at intimidating the homeowner. Respond accordingly and do research before falling into traps. The Internet provides many sources.
*
Respond immediately to the so-called 45-day lien/foreclosure notice letter (FS 720.3085).
*
When receiving letters, don’t think, “It’s just the HOA.” The HOA can take your home but only if the debt is for unpaid dues and assessments -- not for fines.
*
Don’t ignore so-called presuit mediation offers (FS 720.311). You lose your right to recover legal fees even if you win the lawsuit.
*
If your association takes you to court without offering presuit mediation, ask the judge to dismiss the case. The association ignored the statutes requiring mandatory presuit mediation.

Can't pay their HOA dues

Report By Mike Holfeld
Published November 10, 2009

A citizens advocacy group is urging residents involved in a flap with their homeowners association to learn their rights.

Local 6 is spending the entire day focusing on HOAs, and Jan Bergemann, of Cyber Citizens For Justice, said homeowners need to first learn the rules and laws in dealing with HOAs.

Numerous homeowners have contacted Local 6 recently, seeking help after receiving intimidating letters from their HOA.

Phylis Bisking and Susan Dearolf, who live in the Canoe Creek Woods subdivision in St. Cloud, said they can't pay their HOA dues right now.

"We have reasons, just like everyone in this world today is having a hard time," said Bisking, who started receiving notices from her HOA months ago.

"I probably looked at it and said, 'Here's another bill I can't pay and just tossed it aside," said Dearolf, who has also received notices from her HOA.

Both women have been sent lawsuits to foreclose if they do not pay back dues.
"I mean, come on, they're robbing us," Bisking said.
Dearolf said she feels like she signed a pact with the devil.
"What am I supposed to say? 'I give up, just take the house?' " Dearolf said.

Bisking was already struggling with her mortgage when her son was hit by a car while riding his bike, causing more medical bills she could not afford.

And then I got this stupid homeowners association that I have to deal with, which they don't offer anything to us," Bisking said.

Their subdivision is caught up in a so-called "turf war." Only half the residents at Canoe Creek Woods pay HOA dues, and there is nothing the HOA can do about it.

All the residents in the 500-home community use the same entrance, which the HOA pays to maintain, along with the land around seven retention ponds in the subdivision.

Only 258 homes on the north side of Creek Wood Drive are responsible for the annual dues in the neighborhood.

Canoe Creek Woods HOA president Anthony Davola said in the early '90s the homes to the south argued they had no common ground to maintain and won. The HOA was dissolved, but the bills did not stop.

"Right now, we're sitting on a high rate of foreclosure on our side, and there's a high rate of foreclosure on that side," Davola said.

Devola said he was reluctant to send out the lawsuits to Bisking and Dearolf, but if the HOA does not take action, it could collapse.

"Over the years we've had meetings where homeowners that felt that they didn't want to pay because that side didn't pay, but they can't break away from it. It's like a tombstone. Once it's there, it won't go away, and you have to pay," Devola said.

Homeowners can technically dissolve their HOA with a unanimous vote. The neighborhood would go into receivership, but an attorney said the fees could jump to as much as three times the current fees, so it is a risky move.

Bingo Paul

If found guilty, the worst he could get is first degree misdemeanor punishable up to a year in jail.

Hamburg loaf dinner

The RVers must be getting sick of Hamburg loaf dinners. Tina is really something else. I notify her about the health violations at the Lake Ashton grill. She wanted to know about sizzling grill and Manny's chop house. So I e-mail her the information and she call it scam. She doesn't believe it. She said she was going to report me to the police. I just don't understand a woman like Tina. She even call my other half to tell her about me. She said I e-mail her 30 scam information notes. She sure knows how to lie. I just came out of the hospital after near death after 5 weeks and my other half spend 5 days in the hospital. Does she think we like to hear about her crap. She also took me off her scam list for RVers Go get in your RV Tina and go for a trip to DO DO land and take your Hamburg dinners with you.

R V Homes

3 large RV homes are going up in the R V section. Wait until they get their tax bill.

All money goes to the developer

For all you residents that feel that we have to pay to get our residents telephone directory. used of the boat dock, to use the ballroom, why not pay to use the theater, shuffleboard, pool, tennis, Lakeashton outdoor grill, billiards, bowing. Why are we paying our maintenance fees for? Hire more help for Joe Hunter "do Nothing". Or even better yet, hire more help for the activities desk.

Sample homes are no more

They took the iron fence down from the sample homes and removed the parking lot. Also all the bricks have been laid down in front of the garages. Most of the model homes have been sold in the last two years and some leased back for use as a model.
Times are tough even for the rich.

Too much water

The bowing lanes have been shut down because of too much water. The doors are locked and their is no more bowling until the water problem is fixed. The bowling machine is lower than the foundation of the clubhouse and the water is coming in and destroying the bowling machine. This is a real big problem. Get your money out lake Ashton residents. This is going to cost thousands of dallars.
120 banks have failed in 2009.
The unemployment rate in the U S is now at 10.2 %
