Bernie Madoff

Remember Bernie Madoff. He had a great deal of friends when money was good. Now that the law has got up to him he no friends. Reminds me of Bingo Paul. How many friends will he have when this is over?

I thought this was cool.....

Dear Friends, This is a story for our times, bringing together how we can "right" our relationship with all life and receive one of the greatest gifts in return - gratitude. YOU... and a WHALE ...The Whale... If you read a recent front page story of the San Francisco Chronicle, you would have read about a female humpback whale who had become entangled in a spider web of crab traps and lines. She was weighted down by hundreds of pounds of traps that caused her to struggle to stay afloat. She also had hundreds of yards of line rope wrapped around her body, her tail, her torso and a line tugging in her mouth. A fisherman spotted her just east of the Farallon Islands (outside the Golden Gate ) and radioed an environmental group for help. Within a few hours, the rescue team arrived and determined that she was so badly off, the only way to save her was to dive in and untangle her. They worked for hours with curved knives and eventually freed her. When she was free, the divers say she swam in what seemed like joyous circles. She then came back to each and every diver, one at a time, and nudged them, pushed them gently around as she was thanking them. Some said it was the most incredibly beautiful experience of their lives. The guy who cut the rope out of her mouth said her eyes were following him the whole time, and he will never be the same. May you, and all those you love, be so blessed and fortunate to be surrounded by people who will help you get untangled from the things that are binding you. And, may you always know the joy of giving and receiving gratitude. I pass this on to you, my friends, in the same spirit. Life is good. God bless!

DAVE....ROSS.... Just because ( YOU ) say it is OK does NOT make it legal? Instead of YOU protecting this community, YOU have colluded to make it even more of a CRIME.

YOU will get your day in court to explain to ALL the Residents how you permitted this along with the HOA Board, to RAPE CHARITY of proper donations per 501C law.

We will also get our day in court, before the IRS, State Attorney, and the residents.

WE have the records.....HOW CAN YOU CONTINUE TO LIE ABOUT THESE FACTS ?? You need some counciling. Maybe Bingo Paul can pay for some treatments. He paid for everything else.

comment reply from the HOA president's Dave Ross letter dated Nov 14, 2010

The facts:You said"50-50:Paul acted appropriately when he ... took volunteers to dinner with 50-50 monies..." I say "The fact that Mr. and Mrs. Pontious(two elected officials) involved themselves in personal spending of thousands of dollars of monies they raised by illegal lottery is not appropriate. It also was not appropriate that other elected officials, and many of your neighbors, joined them in spending the many thousands of these dollars for trips and restaurants.

Dave Ross, look up the 501-C License It clearly says Charity and expenses. Where are you getting your information?????? You are 100% wrong

Looking at the records, He and his friends and the Bingo Committee had dinner at the Lake Ashton Grill, Manny's Chophouse 2 times, Sizzing Grill 3 times, took a bus C D Tours to Texas de Brazil, 3 times, spend a total of over $8,000. This is a 501-C license. All money goes to charity and expenses. What expense is this? You people that played Bingo with Paul donated your money for Paul and his friends to have a very expensive dinner and in some cases a bus to the restaurant. This is sick. To see the records, call Dick Ralls at 863-324-3238 now or for ever hold your peace. Richard Nixon once said "I am not a crook" and you know what happen to him. Paul is saying the same thing. We all know what will happen to Paul.

THESE RECORDS ARE THE RECORDS THAT PAUL PONTIOUS DON'T WANT YOU TO SEE. THIS IS A MUST SEE AND A MUST READ!

The records we all have been waiting for, have been received from Paul Hawkins, the forensic accountant. They can be reviewed by setting up appointment with Dick Ralls by calling 863 324-3230 Everything you need to know, money spent and where! The records are here.

June Young

June Young prior to the elections posted her views on the best candidates. Eaten, Brenda, and Carol. This is a violation of the rules. Who in Hell does she think she is telling everyone who to vote for. She controls the lakeashtonliving blog for Lake Ashton. She has no right to do this. Her Blog is the Lake Ashton information center. June Young must go. All candidates should have been noted, but this was not the case, only those three was noted. Resign June with the other violators. Please note, my Blog is a private blog and I have the right to post what ever I want. This blog is not the principal blog of Lake Ashton. There is so much corruption, and like I said Al Capone would be right at home here.

My predictions

I predict that in the coming weeks, Dave Ross and Paul Pontious, HOA board members and his wife on the CDD must resign because of wrong doing's. They violated the Florida rules of the 501-C license. They will be face with some serious charges. What the inspectors do, I haven't the faintest idea but I can guess. Will there be jail time, most likely, be fined, most likely, pay all the money back, most likely. Will he take his friends with him, most likely, one of which is Jack Van Sickle. I understand that at city hall, he is not well liked. I will be very happy when all this crap is over. He has taken a great deal of my time. Another thief put behind bars. He must have spend well over $100,000 taking his buddies out with the bingo money and 50/50. The HOA never pick up on this stealing. Are they blind or they themselves were taken out to Dinner. We all had been had. Everybody has some explaining to do.

Bingo Paul Pontious

Looking at the Bingo records, it seems the concession stand spend a great deal of money at Walgreens, Public, Sam's Club, CVS, Wal-Mart, Winn Dixie, Target, 7-Eleven, and to top it all he has large expenses at the gas stations, Race Trac and Shell Oil. They must be doing a muti million dollars business selling ice cream, chips and soda. You should see the expenses? Is he feeding the entire Aberdeen St residences at Lake Ashton. Paul, you have some explaining to do. Don't you know you have a 501-C license. Please reply.

Tomorrow: Letter to Kevin Doty, attorney from Dan Perry, attorney

She thinks she can control this community by placing all good things about this community on her site. Nothing ever is bad here. June Young, you just don't know how to run your dumb web site.

Why would one worry about calling cops, and challenging those you claim are trouble makers ?

If what you say is TRUE, you would have no concerns about being sued.

You in fact by your own admission refuse to tell us who you are because of your lies your spreading about those who truly care about Charity's who have not received the money from Bingo that they should have. Your the thief and want to shift the blame from ....The Bingo Man...

How is the investigation of the two CDD board members proceeding? Remember it was these two members who voted down every monetary offer from developer, and continued to vote to continue litigation over the road issue. This action was in spite of the attorney telling them we had no case. Cost us over $300,000. We need to address this issue. What is the status of this case.

What two members are you talking about. And the Attorney said what? $300.000? Where in Hell are you getting this information???????? Stop reading your comic books! Wake up! There are always trouble makers out there that just want to start lies and trouble. This guy is in La La land

I object to the use of my name by Anonymous. I understand that anyone can write anything they want on a blog and sign Anonymous. They can say anything they want and never have to stand behind their words. Please be advised that I do sign my name when I make a comment and I do check my facts before I write. So when you see that someone says that I said or did something, please note that unless you heard or saw it yourself it is not necessarily the truth. I am easy to reach-ask me.
I have made comments in this community about the way Bingo money has been spent. I made those comments after reading the FL. Statute for bingo and after seeing the checks from the accounts handled by the Pontious family. Also after seeing written communication from our present and past community leaders and their attorneys , I do not understand why people are sitting back and slamming one another on a blog. I don't understand why only a few brave individuals are trying to stop these so-called leaders from doing more harm by removing them from public office.
Lake Ashton Community has always been a great place to live. But let us be honest about who the trouble makers are. Are they really the people trying to remove the dishonest people from leadership, as anonymous would have you believe? Are they really the people who are getting blasted , by name, by anonymous? Get real people! Do we really need the state attorney , IRS, police , and sheriff's office to come in and remove these people from public office for us. Stop it now, yourselves. Shun them, step out of their social circles, and pressure them to quit. See the facts yourselves. The records are all available to you under the Florida laws for open government.

On Friday, a letter from Dave Ross to Bingo Paul Pontious will be posted.

Interpretation of Dan Perry's letter on May 20, and July 27, 2010

Subject: 27 July 2010 ltr from D Perry to Mr Dotty.pdf (SECURED) - Adobe Acrobat Professional

As you read this 27 July 2010 email from Mr Dan Perry (the lawyer for the HOA and by proxy, the residents lawyer), re-read Mr Perry’s email dated 20 May 2010 to the HOA BOD.

In the 20 May 2010 email, Mr Perry clearly recognizes that the HOA BOD has ALWAYS had full oversight and has ALWAYS been legally responsible for the oversight, management and operations of Bingo. So why in this 27 July 201 email does Mr Perry tell Mr Dotty something completely different?

Is Mr Perry following his own advice to the HOA BOD in his previous email of 20 May 2010, to allow bingo to “…(temporarily) die..” in effort to divert attention away from the pending legal issues faced by the HOA BOD and others that would be held legally held accountable for the mishandling of Bingo operations and its monies, only to resurface later with a new ‘spin’ regarding Bingo?

If you compare these two emails, you will clearly see Mr Perry is advising the HOA BOD one thing and then informs the residents something completely different. Is Mr Perry following the direction of HOA BOD to intentionally mislead the residents OR is he now acting as the HOA BOD’s spin doctor?

I am confused. Are you? I hope you are beginning to see the gravity of the situation and will demand those responsible to be held accountable. Frankly, the fact that the HOA BOD intentionally with held (Collusion) the fact that a formal investigation is on-going and criminal charges could be filed against at least Mr Pontious, while Mr Pontious ran for a HOA BOD seat, is incredulous.

Is this the kind of representation you want from you HOA BOD? Seems to me that they are only interested in protecting and representing themselves vice protecting and representing the residents of Lake Ashton. What do you think?

Now that this blog has identified the LA Committee members has follows, Barb Salvin, Dick Ralls, Rich Earl, John Chickness, John Guenther, and Ed King. I would ask the committee the following question? Do you think it was proper to sarcasticly make fun of Louise Gilla's faith and Vic Gilla's disability. ED, did the Gilla's do something to offend you. Barb Salvin, is there something wrong with Christian prayer? Jews and Moslems also pray. Rich Earl is it open season of people with handicaps and disabilities? John (I am Honest) Chickness is this payback against Vic? There needs to be an apology from this blog site. Copies have been sent to a number of residents establishing the mean spirited and morally offense comments made against the Gillas. This blog against the Gillas is disgraceful. The Gillas have given much of their time to this community. Shame on all of you.

I did not write that remark or anything about the Gillas, it was a comment by one of my readers. If you don't know how to read, than get out of my blog and take Saint Bingo Pontious out to dinner.

My question as a Retired Attorney...Still licensed however. HOW...can anyone who is connected since 2006 to date with illegal 50/50, Bingo, Concessions operation, and that includes the Present MAYOR of LAKE WALES at the time remain on ANY BOARD ?

In court I would take this case... ( PRO-BONO ) Free of cost to bring justice for all Lake Ashton Residents.

In fact, I might consider having my license moved to FL on a ( Reciprocal )agreement with my Former State Bar, and take the case myself.

I would suggest....ALL ( EVERY ) board...CDD and HOA , resign. The seats could be refilled by Statute and Get on with life.....A fine paid by Guilty Parties and Back Taxes paid by the HOA....

This is a serious offense of a Felony nature. All of you could be guilty and sentenced to jail. RESIGN NOW AND SAVE THE CHARGES. upon agreement.

The person / persons responding... State you favor,and I will state my name....

Interpretation of Dan Perry's letter on May 20, 2010

This is the 2^nd file where Dan Perry writes to the HOA BOD. In this correspondence D Perry clearly recognizes that the HOA has had FULL oversight, control and was responsible of ALL Bingo operations, legal or illegal.

D Perry further goes on to highlight that the HOA BOD did NOT want to draw attention to the fact that Paul Pontious may come under a formal investigation while he was running for a HOA BOD seat. I am not a lawyer but sounds like collusion to me and the fact that D Perry seems to support the decision by the HOA BOD to ‘hide” the truth behind this issue, since D Perry does not advise that such an act (hiding the fact of mishandling of Bingo operations and its monies as well as the potential of criminal acts) could be perceived as collusion.

Collusion is an agreement between two or more persons, sometimes illegal and therefore secretive, to limit open competition by deceiving, misleading, or defrauding others of their legal rights, or to obtain an objective forbidden by law typically by defrauding or gaining an unfair advantage.^{[citation needed]} It is an agreement among firms to divide the market, set prices, or limit production.^[1] It can involve "wage fixing, kickbacks, or misrepresenting the independence of the relationship between the colluding parties".^[2] In legal terms, all acts effected by collusion are considered void.^[3] Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collusion

Again I am not a lawyer or claiming that this was done by anyone, it just ‘appears’ that by intentionally hiding the fact that there were mishandling of Bingo monies on behalf of Paul Pontious and the HOA BOD, in order to get Paul Pontious elected, seems odd to me and I would think the community would be very surprised by the fact the HOA BOD is misleading them on this issue. If they (HOA BOD) are willing to mislead us on such a major issue, what else are they will they mislead the community on? I guess that is why the HOA BOD is working so hard to suppress any further discussion on this issue.

Attached is D Perry’s suggested draft of the HOA BOD dissolve their relationship with Bingo, of which was never submitted. Why? Because the HOA BOD decided to follow D Perry’s legal advice to ‘allow’ this issue to “temporarily die” within “…the Community than open yourself (Dave Ross and BOD) to being the subject of an expanded criminal investigation by law enforcement…”

Seems that the lawyer, Dan Perry, clearly recognized that a very thorny legal issue was on the horizon with the result of several being held accountable and advised the HOA BOD to conceal this issue in effort to allow the community to forget or be subject to a misinformation campaign that intentionally misinformed the community as to what really was going on.

If this is in fact true, then as Ricky Recardo would say “… someone has some splain to do..”

Lake Ashton HOA Association Letter dated 14 Nov 2010	0	11/15/10 2:49pm
I encourage all residents to read this letter and then ask the HOA Board as to the name, address and phone numbers and a copy reports, of both the lawyer they used as well as the account, who did 'their' so-called investigation. Do not be surprised when the HOA refuses to respond to your request or provide this information. What ever the HOA does on 'our' behalf IS public information so requesting this information is a legitimate request.

Paul Pontious

I just can't bare looking at Paul Pontious knowing he kept all the charity money for himself and his friends, accusing Jesse of stealing the excess bingo money when he left, and here I am putting on shows for charity, with all my time and my expenses. The other day I walked into Public's, there was a lady ringing her little bell with a sign over her shoulder that said Salvation Army. Before I even got close I took out my wallet and placed a dollar in the pail and Nancy was closed behind me and she did the same. It may be a little donation but we go there very often. I'm sorry, I just can't forgive a man like Bingo Paul Pontious spending it on himself. I am glad he was not the guy that was ringing that bell. He is a educated man with a collage degree , there is no excuse for what he did. I am sad, very sad that the HOA had not removed him from Bingo. The old saying goes, once a crook always a crook. Dick Ralls who is president of our committee along with John Guenther, Rich Earl, Bab Salvin, John Chickness and I, Edmund King and others Donated money to investigate the Bingo being played here at Lake Ashton. Over $2500 plus was used to obtain all Bank Records of Bingo Paul and Bingo, all 4 of them. I would very much rather give our money to charity then to hired forensic accountant attorney's. I'm sorry, you people may love him but he has given us a very bad name to this community. And you talk about prices of homes going down, you can thank him. We have all the records of all the checks he wrote so he can't say No I didn't do that. Sorry Paul, you are in deep trouble and you know it. Is that the reason you destroyed all the Bingo records. Your wasted your time. I just can't believe you still have friends that believe in you. How long can you lie and how long will all your friends trust you. Our goal is to make Lake Ashton a honest and clean community. I just can't believe some of the dirty looks I am getting, people that believe in Paul Pontious, they have to be mentally retarded.

Taking Flight:

The Israelis are developing an airport security device that eliminates the privacy concerns that come with full-body scanners at the airports.

It’s an armored booth you step into that will not X-ray you, but will detonate any explosive device you may have on your person.

Israel sees this as a win-win situation for everyone, with none of this crap about racial profiling. It will also eliminate the costs of a long and expensive trial.

You're in the airport terminal and you hear a muffled explosion. Shortly thereafter, an announcement: "Attention standby passengers — we now have a seat available on flight 6709. Shalom!"

Interpretation of Dan Perry's letter on April 19, 2010

interpretation
his is the 2^nd file where Dan Perry writes to the HOA BOD. In this correspondence D Perry clearly recognizes that the HOA has had FULL oversight, control and was responsible of ALL Bingo operations, legal or illegal.

D Perry further goes on to highlight that the HOA BOD did NOT want to draw attention to the fact that Paul Pontious may come under a formal investigation while he was running for a HOA BOD seat. I am not a lawyer but sounds like collusion to me and the fact that D Perry seems to support the decision by the HOA BOD to ‘hide” the truth behind this issue, since D Perry does not advise that such an act (hiding the fact of mishandling of Bingo operations and its monies as well as the potential of criminal acts) could be perceived as collusion.

Collusion is an agreement between two or more persons, sometimes illegal and therefore secretive, to limit open competition by deceiving, misleading, or defrauding others of their legal rights, or to obtain an objective forbidden by law typically by defrauding or gaining an unfair advantage.^{[citation needed]} It is an agreement among firms to divide the market, set prices, or limit production.^[1] It can involve "wage fixing, kickbacks, or misrepresenting the independence of the relationship between the colluding parties".^[2] In legal terms, all acts effected by collusion are considered void.^[3] Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collusion

Again I am not a lawyer or claiming that this was done by anyone, it just ‘appears’ that by intentionally hiding the fact that there were mishandling of Bingo monies on behalf of Paul Pontious and the HOA BOD, in order to get Paul Pontious elected, seems odd to me and I would think the community would be very surprised by the fact the HOA BOD is misleading them on this issue. If they (HOA BOD) are willing to mislead us on such a major issue, what else are they will they mislead the community on? I guess that is why the HOA BOD is working so hard to suppress any further discussion on this issue.

Attached is D Perry’s suggested draft of the HOA BOD dissolve their relationship with Bingo, of which was never submitted. Why? Because the HOA BOD decided to follow D Perry’s legal advice to ‘allow’ this issue to “temporarily die” within “…the Community than open yourself (Dave Ross and BOD) to being the subject of an expanded criminal investigation by law enforcement…”

Seems that the lawyer, Dan Perry, clearly recognized that a very thorny legal issue was on the horizon with the result of several being held accountable and advised the HOA BOD to conceal this issue in effort to allow the community to forget or be subject to a misinformation campaign that intentionally misinformed the community as to what really was going on.

If this is in fact true, then as Ricky Recardo would say “… someone has some splain to do..”

Interpretation Jan 4, 2010 letter from Ron White

Contained within the 4 Jan 2010 email from Ron White (who was a HOA BOD member at the time) writes to fellow HOA BOD members, and expresses his concerned that, whatever was discussed / agreed upon in a previous meeting with HOA BOD, Mr. Pontious and Mr. Perry, that suddenly, “Paul” ( Paul Pontious) is backing out of “the agreement”, and now threatening to stop running Bingo, IF he (Paul Pontious), is unable to continue to control Bingo and its funds.

Remember, the HOA BOD had, only a short time earlier, publicly stated that effective 1 Jan 2010, that they ‘now and for the first time every’, “they” (HOA BOD) were officially taking over all Bingo operations.

Ron White further annotates a motive behind Paul Pontious continued desire to maintain control over Bingo and is funds, in conjunction with Paul Pontious desire to run for a seat on the HOA BOD. It appears that Mr. Pontious understood that IF the facts of this issue came to light with the Lake Ashton Residents, he may not get elected to the HOA BOD.

Keep in mind this 4 Jan 2010 email, particularly when you read a email four months later from Mr. Dan Perry, dated 20 May 2010, who is the lawyer for the HOA and by proxy, the lawyer that is supposed to be representing the best interest ALL Lake Ashton Resident.

Look for the next posting whereby you can read for yourself, how in a 20 May 2010 email from Mr. Perry to the HOA BOD, acknowledges that the HOA BOD has ALWAYS had legal responsibility for Bingo and all of its operations and the handling of monies. Mr. Perry continues on in this email to support the HOA BOD desire to NOT to disclose to the Lake Ashton Residents, that there are grounds for a criminal investigation IF this issue gets into the hands of law enforcement, AND further endorses the desire of the HOA BOD to withhold this information (conceal) of a very serious legal predicament in order to not only help Mr. Pontious get elected to the HOA BOD seat as well as protect the HOA BOD from being subject to an expanded criminal investigation by law enforcement.

As a Resident of Lake Ashton, wouldn’t like to know if a serious legal situation PRIOR to voting Mr. Pontious to the HOA BOD?

How about that Mr. Pontious apparently agreed to a previous agreement which called for him to step down and to no longer have ANY further dealings with Bingo, its monies or its operation, only to have a change of heart and decided to further place the HOA BOD in an awkward position, what appears and effort to black mailed the HOA BOD into keeping him running Bingo as well as, (you will see in the 20 May 2010 email by Mr. Perry) to conceal the entire pending legal issue in to ensure he, Mr. Pontious, was elected into office.

The reason why I used the word black mail, is because the HOA BOD has ALWAYS known that the HOA ultimately had the legal responsibility regarding the operation of Bingo and all its aspects, and, it appears Mr. Pontious threatened, suggested, or implied, to the HOA BOD that if he went down, he’d take the HOA BOD and others down with him. Think about it, why else would the HOA BOD conspire to withhold this damning information? If the HOA BOD in fact never had a legal responsibility, as ‘they’ now claim, why then make a conscious decision to conceal all of this from the Residents? Confused? So am I.

Don’t take this writers opinion on this issue but discern for yourself as you read the unfolding following correspondence on this issue. Doesn’t all of this just give everyone a warm fuzzy that the HOA BOD has YOUR best interests at heart?

Please, do not take this writers opinion, but do your own due diligence and discern for yourself, and see if you too, come to the same conclusion or opinion.
