The lake at Lake Ashton is black and dirty

I am looking at the lake where my cottage is located and I can see 15 feet or more to the bottom. At Lake Ashton who will be lucky if you see 3 inches or more. This is what they did when they developed the community. They plow dirt into the Lake and also allow mud flows into the streams. Big Joe Hunter allowed this to happen and never said nothing to anybody. This guy must go. I had to call the state and had them plant bushes along the stream. Nobody gives a dam. All these people care is call the cops and tell the residents what they should do. Steal money from the Bingo players, pay to use the clubhouse, hired Lawyers for the roads, Lawyers for the dock, Lawyers for the MX and all that stuff. What a place to live. Sue sue and more suits.
Maintenance fees will double.

FOX NETWORK BOWS TO PRESSURE

Fox is already cowering down to the president...

In response to President Obama's complaint that FOX doesn't show enough Black and Hispanic people on their network, FOX has announced that they will now air
" America 's Most Wanted" twice a week.

Living in a community where call the cops is the thing

Mr Van Sickle was at the CDD meeting some months ago, spoke out about people driving too fast or did no stop at the stop sign. The police stop them and gave them a citation and he told the CDD committee that the police were doing their job. Also the speed limit on Thomson Nursery Road was been decreased. Now we have the police parking just off Lake Ashton community looking for speeders. Van Sickle seems to think this is a joke. Is this all he can do is call the cops or get them here to give out tickets. He sure loves Lake Ashton. He's done nothing as Mayor of Lake Wales except fired some of his co workers. Now his wife has the same problem. She feels that the police is the answer to all their problems. Call the cops his their motto. How can people live like this, calling the police on their neighbors. Maybe we should call the police on the people that call the police. What a waste of tax payers money. Here we have a lady running for the CDD. Brenda Va Sickle doesn't fool me, if you think the police are going to solve all her problems, wait till she gets elected, the police will be here every day.

AN IRISH BLONDE IN A CASINO

An attractive blonde from Cork , Ireland arrived at the casino. She seemed a little intoxicated and bet twenty-thousand Euros on a single roll of the dice.

She said, 'I hope you don't mind, but I feel much luckier when I'm completely nude'.

With that, she stripped from the neck down, rolled the dice and with an Irish brogue yelled, 'Come on, baby, Mama needs new clothes!'

As the dice came to a stop, she jumped up and down and squealed...'YES! YES! I WON, I WON!'

She hugged each of the dealers and then picked up her winnings and her clothes and quickly departed.

The dealers stared at each other dumbfounded.
Finally, one of them asked, 'What did she roll?'

The other answered, 'I don't know - I thought you were watching.'

MORAL OF THE STORY -

Not all Irish are drunks,
not all blondes are dumb,
but all men...are men.

Anybody having a poker party?

Please let me know at lakeashtontalk@yahoo.com Brenda Van Sickle would like to know so she can call the police. She loves to call the police on her neighbors. I just don't know what she is trying to prove, Lake Ashton is not the place it user to be! Can't trust your neighbors.

Pinellas properties management worker pleads no contest to felony grand theft charge

Article Courtesy of The St. Petersburg Times
By Lorri Helfand
Published June 16, 2010

LARGO — The woman accused of stealing more than $1 million from 20 homeowner groups threw herself on the mercy of the court Wednesday.

Residents who have struggled to deal with those losses aren't feeling so merciful.

"We'd like to see her prosecuted to the full extent of the law," said Richard Sittler, president of Sunfish Bay Condominium Association in Clearwater, which lost about $300,000.

Wearing a yellow blouse and loose-fitting jeans, Catherine McMullen, 47, appeared calm as she pleaded no contest to a felony grand theft charge.

Her plea means she did not admit guilt but won't present a defense. She likely will be penalized as if she pleaded guilty.

McMullen, who controlled finances for the company that managed the association accounts, could serve anywhere from 21 months to 30 years, according to sentencing guidelines.

Judge Joseph A. Bulone scheduled her sentencing for Sept. 10. He said McMullen's husband, Mac McMullen, an Army Reserve officer who used to be a spokesman for the Largo Police Department and the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office, wants to be at the sentencing, but he can't be there until late August.

Catherine McMullen, who worked for Buxton Properties in Largo since 2001, was arrested in March 2009. She told police that she shifted money from various association bank accounts to Buxton's accounts and ultimately to herself. She told Largo police Detective Lara Young she spent much of the money on things like a 2007 Dodge Charger for her son, dinners out, spa trips, rents and cell phone and credit card bills.

Until March 2009, none of the associations noticed anything amiss. Neither did Buxton Properties owner Brian Buxton.

McMullen created fake bank statements for them by copying the statements onto her computer and changing the numbers.

The scheme unravelled when Sunfish Bay did a mini audit last year. Buxton met with association board member Paul Frey at First Community Bank in Pinellas Park and noticed that the bank records and the statements McMullen provided didn't match.

At first, Buxton thought there was a mistake. He called McMullen to come to the bank. She did not arrive. So he called several more times. A while later, he received a text message from her saying, "they will not match i made them up borrowing to keep company open i am so sorry, ends now," according to Largo police.

Minutes later, police were dispatched to McMullen's home. Paramedics said she had taken 13 diuretic pills used to treat high blood pressure. There was a kitchen knife in the bed and there were "hesitation" marks on the inside of her left wrist, police said.

A week later, McMullen admitted to taking hundreds of thousands of dollars for family expenses. She was arrested and later released on $30,000 bail.

McMullen's attorney, John Trevena, said his client is "upset that she has been demonized by many of the condo association members."

As she was leaving the courthouse Wednesday, he said, one woman "approached her and berated her with not so nice language, in front of her son, and called her a lot of unpleasant names."

Trevena mentioned Brian Buxton's deposition three months ago, where Buxton said he owned a Maxum boat, two antique cars and an airplane with a partner.

"While she understands (the residents) frustration, she'd like them to know she is truly apologetic and remorseful and there's a person who could make them whole, Mr. Buxton. He clearly has the resources to make all of these people whole," Trevena said.

Said Buxton's attorney Sean McQuaid: "Unfortunately, we live in a world of reality, not fantasyland. That is preposterous and completely inaccurate. Maybe instead of Brian cutting a check to cover the losses, maybe Mrs. McMullen should write a check since she's the one who benefited from the losses."

Residents say they just want the nightmare over with.

"This woman has affected the lives of hundreds of people," Sittler said. "We feel she has all of the rights and we have no rights."

At least a dozen associations, from Gulfport to Clearwater, lost between $35,000 and $300,000.

Five have filed suits against McMullen and Buxton Properties. Many say their insurance claims have been denied. Others say they've been compensated for just part of their losses. Some residents say they've had to write checks for hundreds or thousands of dollars to cover daily bills or repairs.

"This gal has had the life of Riley for somewhere around four years," said Jim Goss, 81, vice president of Greenbriar III Condominium Association in Clearwater. "She's put an awful lot of people through an awful lot of misery."

Lake Ashton

Lake Ashton is becoming the most unfriendly community in Florida. You can't even play cards with your friends without some idiot calling the police. You can't even have a blog without some idiot calling you an idiot. You can't even write a blog without some idiot calling the police on you. Everyday some idiot E Mails me and tells me to get out of Lake Ashton without saying who he is. I guess he's is worried the Van Sickles might call the police on him. This guy can't spell nothing right. Go back to school you idiot. I can see why you don't want to give out your name. You are living in the right community where friends are no longer friends.

Brenda Van Sikle

Not only do we have to deal with the Mayor who also calls the cops, now we have to deal with his wife and the whole family calling the cops on everyone. Please Lake Ashton residents call your friends here at Lake Ashton and tell them about this web site and how she loves to call the police, just like her husband. She must NOT get elected to the CDD board. Get on the phone now. THANKS

Thank-you for your support and you interest.

Brenda Van Sikle

I am a 3 year resident of Lake Ashton East. I now hear that Brenda VanSikle, the wife of the presant Lake Wales Mayor is running for the CDD seat vacated by Scot Owens a Lake Ashton employee of the Developer.

That seems to be a conflict of INTEREST to me. Is there any truth HER sons are employed by Larry Maxwell / Mark Shrieber, the Developers of Lake Ashton??

I would hate to think a CDD board member would have to consider her sons employment every time she had to vote!

A CONCERNED RESIDENT.....

Watch out what you say

If you say the wrong thing you will be ask to shut up. Due to the actions of one resident he was told to mind his own business. Well, he went out and bought a gun and now he carries it everywhere he goes. What is Lake Ashton coming to? We have a resident that calls the police on you (Van Sickle's) We also have a resident that steals money from the Bingo players (Bingo Paul) and not paying tax on it. Also a 50/50 and spending the money on anything thing he wishes. A community Director who loves to send out certified mail on anyone (Joe "do nothing" Hunter)and Margot who changes her mind at our cost of $20,000 (Flip-Flop Margo).

What a screw up place this is. Lets go bowling, sorry not open yet. Lets go dancing, wops, under repairs. Guess I'll stay home.

Pick-up Trucks

Mr Maxwell.

There were 19% more pick-ups sold this year than last year. Please make note of this and stop down grading pick-up trucks. Do you think everyone is driving high price cars like you. Wake up! It does no harm to park a pick-up truck at Lake Ashton.

Garage

The boss walked into the office one morning not knowing
his zipper was down and
his fly area wide
open. His assistant walked up to him and said, 'This
morning when
you left your house, did you
close your garage door?' The boss told her he knew
he'd closed the garage door, and walked into
his office puzzled by the question.

As he finished his paperwork, he
suddenly noticed his fly was open, and zipped
it up. He then understood his assistant's
question about his 'garage door.'

He headed out for a cup of coffee and paused by her
desk to ask, 'When my garage
door was open,
did you see my Hummer parked in
there?'

She smiled
and said, 'No, I didn't. All I saw
was an old mini van with two flat tires..

2 kids in a hospital

Two little kids are in a hospital, lying on beds next to each other, outside the operating room.

The first kid leans over and asks, "What are you in here for?"

The second kid says, "I'm in here to get my tonsils out and I'm a little nervous."

The first kid says, "You've got nothing to worry about. I had that done when I was four. They put you to sleep, and when you wake up they give you lots of Jell-O and ice-cream. It's a breeze."

The second kid then asks, "What are you here for?"

The first kid says, "A circumcision."

And the second kid says, "Whoa, Good luck, buddy, I had that done when I was born...........Couldn't walk for a year....

JOYS OF BEING A MUSLIM WOMAN.......

These are troubling times.

This was written by a woman born in Egypt as a Muslim. This is not heresy.
Make sure you read the paragraph (in red) towards the end.

Joys of Muslim Women
by Nonie Darwish

In the Muslim faith a Muslim man can marry a child as young as 1 year old and have sexual intimacy with this child, consummating the marriage by 9. The dowry is given to the family in exchange for the woman (who becomes his slave) and for the purchase of the private parts of the woman, to use her as a toy.

Even though a woman is abused, she can not obtain a divorce.
To prove rape, the woman must have (4) male witnesses.

Often after a woman has been raped, she is returned to her family and the family must return the dowry. The family has the right to execute her (an honor killing) to restore the honor of the family. Husbands can beat their wives 'at will' and the man does not have to say why he has beaten her.

The husband is permitted to have 4 wives and a temporary wife for an hour (prostitute) at his discretion.

The Shariah Muslim law controls the private as well as the public life of the woman.

In the Western World ( America ) Muslim men are starting to demand Shariah Law so the wife can not obtain a divorce and he can have full and complete control of her. It is amazing and alarming how many of our sisters and daughters attending American Universities are now marrying Muslim men and submitting themselves and their children unsuspectingly to the Shariah law.

By passing this on, enlightened American women may avoid becoming a slave under Shariah Law.

Ripping the West in Two

Author and lecturer Nonie Darwish says the goal of radical Islamists is to impose Shariah law on the world, ripping Western law and liberty in two.

She recently authored the book, Cruel and Usual Punishment: The Terrifying Global Implications of Islamic Law.

Darwish was born in Cairo and spent her childhood in Egypt and Gaza before immigrating to America in 1978, when she was eight years old. Her father died while leading covert attacks on Israel . He was a high-ranking Egyptian military officer stationed with his family in Gaza ..

When he died, he was considered a "shahid," a martyr for jihad. His posthumous status earned Nonie and her family an elevated position in Muslim society.

But Darwish developed a skeptical eye at an early age. She questioned her own Muslim culture and upbringing. She converted to Christianity after hearing a Christian preacher on television.

In her latest book, Darwish warns about creeping sharia law - what it is, what it means, and how it is manifested in Islamic countries.

For the West, she says radical Islamists are working to impose sharia on the world. If that happens, Western civilization will be destroyed. Westerners generally assume all religions encourage a respect for the dignity of each individual. Islamic law (Sharia) teaches that non-Muslims should be subjugated or killed in this world.

Peace and prosperity for one's children is not as important as assuring that Islamic law rules everywhere in the Middle East and eventually in the world.

While Westerners tend to think that all religions encourage some form of the golden rule, Sharia teaches two systems of ethics - one for Muslims and another for non-Muslims. Building on tribal practices of the seventh century, Sharia encourages the side of humanity that wants to take from and subjugate others.

While Westerners tend to think in terms of religious people developing a personal understanding of and relationship with God, Sharia advocates executing people who ask difficult questions that could be interpreted as criticism.

It's hard to imagine, that in this day and age, Islamic scholars agree that those who criticize Islam or choose to stop being Muslim should be executed. Sadly, while talk of an Islamic reformation is common and even assumed by many in the West, such murmurings in the Middle East are silenced through intimidation.

While Westerners are accustomed to an increase in religious tolerance over time, Darwish explains how petro dollars are being used to grow an extremely intolerant form of political Islam in her native Egypt and elsewhere.

In twenty years there will be enough Muslim voters in the U.S. to elect the President by themselves! Rest assured they will do so... You can look at how they have taken over several towns in the USA .. Dearborn Mich. is one... and there are others...

I think everyone in the U.S. should be required to read this, but with the ACLU, there is no way this will be widely publicized, unless each of us sends it on!

It is too bad that so many are disillusioned with life and Christianity to accept Muslims as peaceful.. some may be but they have an army that is willing to shed blood in the name of Islam.. the peaceful support the warriors with their finances and own kind of patriotism to their religion. While America is getting rid of Christianity from all public sites and erasing God from the lives of children the Muslims are planning a great jihad on America ...

Harley - Davidson

The inventor of the Harley-Davidson motorcycle, Arthur Davidson, died and went to heaven.

At the gates, St. Peter told Arthur. 'Since you've been such a good man and your motorcycles have changed the world, your reward is, you can hang out with anyone you want to in heaven.'
Arthur thought about it for a minute and then said, ' I want to hang out with God.'
St. Peter took Arthur to the Throne Room, and introduced him to God.

God recognized Arthur and commented, 'Okay, so you were the one who invented the Harley-Davidson motorcycle? ' Arthur said, 'Yeah, that's me...'

God commented: 'Well, what's the big deal in inventing something that's pretty unstable, makes noise and pollution and can't run without a road?'

Arthur was a bit embarrassed, but finally spoke, 'Excuse me, but aren't you the inventor of woman?'
God said, 'Ah, yes.'
'Well,' said Arthur, 'professional to professional, you have some major design flaws in your invention!

1. There's too much inconsistency in the front-end suspension

2. It chatters constantly at high speeds

3. Most rear ends are too soft and wobble about too much

4.. The intake is placed way too close to the exhaust

5. The maintenance costs are outrageous!!!!

'Hmmmmm, you may have some good points there,' replied God, 'hold on.'

God went to his Celestial super computer, typed in a few words and waited for the results. The computer printed out a slip of paper and God read it.

'Well, it may be true that my invention is flawed,' God said to Arthur, 'but according to these numbers, more men are riding my invention than yours'
