NEWS BULLETIN:

LA Residents,

Have you noticed that the Lake Ashton Living website is different this morning? Do you notice that the Neighbor to Neighbor section had been removed AND the Discussion area has suddenly been deleted? This occurred on 26 Jan 2011 at 11:15pm Wednesday evening.

Why you ask? I encourage all to ask that very question the LA HOA BOD since clearly June Young is an employee of the HOA and she is only doing what she is instructed to do. It appears to me that the HOA BOD wants to censor anyone who reveals what is said in private and what is said publicly.

I attempted to post the below and it was IMMEDIATELY deleted (see following email from the website that initially accepted my post). I then posted it under the Bingo discussion, and again, it was IMMEDIATELY deleted. I then attempted to post it under the Discussion area, and once again, it was IMMEDIATEDLY deleted.

Read the following for yourself and see if what the HOA BOD knew about Bingo, who really owns the Bingo License, its criminal activities and what the HOA BOD has been saying behind doors; then compare this information with what you have been told or heard from the HOA BOD and others, about this issue..

If you would like to see any additional documentation, please contact me and review the information for yourself.

I suspect you will see this issue and the HOA BOD, in a different light.

The following is an email, that is public record, which I bet most of the Lake Ashton Residents have never seen. PLEASE share this will all your friends and neighbors! Better read this quick because the HOA BOD does not want you to see this email. Why? Because:

• it shows that the HOA BOD conspired to withhold from the LA Residents the fact that the HOA BOD and Mr Paul Pontious, were under criminal investigation
• that they were afraid that if it was know that Mr Pontious was under criminal investigation that it would negatively influence his chances at getting elected to the HOA BOD
• That the HOA BOD conspired to hide the fact that they have had responsibility for Bingo Operations since June 2006. Interesting that is NOT what the HOA BOD has been telling LA Residents, is it. (Read the HOA BOD Policy Statement dated 14 Nov 2010, which was published 6 months AFTER this email.
• That instead of doing what they should have done, the HOA BOD decided to ".It is better to let bingo (temporarily) die in the Community than open yourself and the other board members to being the subject of an expanded criminal investigation by law enforcement."
• Upon reading this email, ask yourself, is this what our HOA BOD leadership has been saying OR have they been saying something different?

Subject: Bingo Situation

Dave:

As we discussed yesterday mpming, you told me that that there had been some considerable negative reaction to the resolution separating the Association from bingo. I understand and am sure that all of you expected some negative backlash. That is exactly why Ron White, Steve Mattox and I met with Paul Pontious and members of his bingo committee in December. Ron had taken the position that the Association should no longer be affiliated with bingo. He called the meeting with the express purpose of trying to see if the problems could be worked out. I also explessed that bingo is a valuable social activity and that, if possible, all parties should strive to find a solution so that bingo could move forward. We discussed at length the allegations of impropriety in the way bingo was being conducted and the problems with the monies from 50-50.

Later, Ron called me and told me that Paul had provided him assurances that bingo would be run in a lawfully compliant manner. Accordingly, the Association publicly embraced bingo. Subsequently, I heard scattered reports that more alleged improprieties were surfacing along with a perception (correct or incorrect) that Paul was being confrontational with one or members of your community. I understood from Ron that no one wanted to take any public action while Paul was a candidate for the Board.

I learned from you that the entire Board was upset and concerned about the way bingo was bingo handled. You told me that everyone (including Paul) wanted the Association out of responsibility for bingo. We discussed looming problems with the Board being joined at the hip with Paul if he continued to not follow the Law. We discussed the need for a public pronouncement (resolution) from the Board to separate yourselves from Paul's bingo efforts. You asked me for a draft resolution which I provided to all of the board members (including Paul). And this last Sunday, apparently it unanimously passed. The resolution did not disparage Paul or his service as a board member.

I understand that at your meeting tomorrow the question of rescinding the resolution will be discussed. If I understand correctly, some of the pressure you all are feeling stems from Paul's claim that he needs to be a 501(c) to hold a bingo license. It tmns out that he is correct. While the statute does not require a license, the County does require Bingo licensees to be 501(c) not-for-profit corporations.

But, I urge to carefully consider whether you should abandon or rescind the resolution in light of the pending criminal investigation of Paul Pontius. You will send the wrong signal to law enforcement.

And, if you are perceived to be meekly changing direction at the least wind change, you will send the wrong signal to CRF and MX Communications. It is better to let bingo (temporarily) die in the Community than open yourself and the other board members to being the subject of an expanded criminal investigation by law enforcement.

It is possible for you to continue bingo if Paul resigns ftom bingo and has nothing further to do with bingo pending the closure of the investigation AND if the bingo committee members agree to follow the law in every respect. Until that determination is made I would hold off sending the letter to the County surrendering the license.

PS - It did come as a surprise to me (and apparently to you and Steve Mattox) yesterday that apparently the Association DID initially apply for the license. This is an unsettling development, though I still believe that the resolution was the correct step to clarify that your board wants no part of an improperly conducted bingo.
