By:Dave Bohman Lake Wales, Florida - The pickup truck could be the official vehicle of Polk County. At a small Lake Wales Ford dealership, there are more pickups than cars in the lot. But at the Lake Ashton’s subdivision, they’re not so welcome. Ed King, Lake Ashton home and pickup owner: “We cannot park our own personal truck, in our own personal driveway.” Ed King is hot under the collar. He and 26 other pickup owners who live in the subdivision have just learned they could be fined $100 a day fine beginning April first, if they continue parking their trucks in their driveways. This, even though the deed covenant. Ed King: “This is un-America, this is communism, when they tell you you can’t park your own truck in your own private driveway.” Frank Ota, Lake Ashton home and pickup owner: “I don’t know how they came about to pick pickup trucks as something to be prohibited from parking in the driveway.” People here can have pickup trucks, as long as they park them in their garage. But that’s a problem for Ed King. His pickup is exactly 21 feet long. Then when you measure his garage, you’ll find it at just, 19 and a half feet. Ed King: “I mean give me a break will you?” These pickup truck owners understand the idea of keeping the 650-home gated community, upscale. Commercial vehicles are banned under Lake Ashton’s homeowners covenant, but why pickup trucks? Escpecially when SUV’s are OK? Ed King: “And we got four people that I know of, that I have talked to, they have their homes for sale because they cannot park their own pickup truck, in their own private driveway.” King and other pickup owners say that if they get fined, they’ll take their case to court, driving their pickup trucks to the courtroom.
Stand your Gound Law
George Zimmermam thought he was a hero, he shot and killed Trayvon Martin because he was warning a hood over his head. Dumb has it sounds but lets look at the facts. George was in his truck when he saw Trayvon, he called the police dept and they told him to back off. He did not and proceed to follow Trayvon and somehow got into a fight with him and shot and killed him. What the hell was he doing with a gun. This could happen here at Lake Ashton, you have these guys riding around on their golf carts looking for crooks. This is a big joke. They only ride around in the daylight hours. If they did see something, what are they going to do, act like George Zimmermam! Do you think the people of Lake Ashton will back you up and thank you? NO Look at me, I stopped the spraying of herbicides in Lake Ashton and mud flowing into Lake Ashton and also stop the ban on pick-ups and no one thanked me. This is a thank-less community. Not only that they ban me for 4 months from the clubhouse. No one has said a word. You will get no thanks from no one. And than you have that cop car riding around, what a joke. You guys are a bunch of fools. Go home to your wife and watch TV, stuff your month and enjoy yourself, no one will thank you..

This could happen here. Lake ashton is next
Notary public pleads guilty in sweeping HOA fraud case
Mahin Quintero, 27, a former loan processor and notary public who lives in the Reno area, pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor count of producing a false authentication feature.
Quintero, the 11th defendant to plead guilty and cooperate with Justice Department lawyers, acknowledged in her agreement that she falsely authenticated signatures on loan documents for straw buyers in the massive scheme to take over homeowners associations.
Authorities have alleged that former Silver Lining Construction boss Leon Benzer and the late construction defects lawyer, Nancy Quon, were behind the scheme, which involved steering legal and construction defect contracts at the associations to favored firms.
Benzer has discussed striking a plea deal with federal prosecutors, but remains a target of the investigation. Quon was found dead in the bathtub of her Henderson condominium on March 20. Police do not suspect foul play.
Quintero told Senior U.S. District Judge Philip Pro in court on Thursday that she was ordered to destroy her notary book as the federal investigation became public more than three years ago.
Pro set a Nov. 30 sentencing.
Her lawyer, Terrence Jackson, declined comment afterward.
Federal prosecutors have filed 14 more guilty pleas under seal in the far-reaching investigation, which has embroiled about a dozen homeowners associations.
The 14 defendants are to enter guilty pleas before U.S. District Judge James Mahan on May 31.
Each is pleading guilty to one felony count of conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud, according to copies of sealed court papers obtained by the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Justice Department lawyers Charles La Bella and Mary Ann McCarthy have asked Mahan in the court papers to unseal and consolidate the new cases with the previously filed cases.
In her 12-page plea agreement, Quintero acknowledged that she notarized loan documents for straw buyers at Vistana, Chateau Nouveau, Chateau Versailles, Pebble Creek and other condominium complexes as part of the scheme between October 2005 and February 2006.
"On several occasions, defendant produced the notarization without the signatory on the document physically appearing before her, as required by her state of Nevada notary license," the plea agreement said.
Quintero knew that what she was doing was wrong," the agreement added.
After the loans were approved, the straw buyers would run for the various HOA boards, and then if elected, would act to steer business to those orchestrating the scheme, prosecutors have alleged.
La Bella and McCarthy said in their sealed court papers that more plea deals are in the works.
Additional lawyers and former police officers are among those yet to be charged. Judges originally were targeted in the investigation, but so far none have been charged.

The Rat Pack
The Rat Pack {June Young, Trish Adams, Barb Follett}
The Rat Pack has close the doors to all the on goings in this community. SHUT UP AND BE QUITE OR GET BAN FROM THE CLUBHOUSE if you have a web site that tells the truth. Just listen to hear say. This is their rotten motto and it stinks. They have zero brains and all should be fired ASAP. All I got to say is ban the Monday morning coffee meetings with the wicked witch Trash Adams and all her advertisers and ban Bingo, Bingo Paul who fills his pockets with your money, and buys free food and gas with Bingo money. Lets tell them we mean business. I have all the papers to prove it and I get Ban from using the club house. They can steal all they want but I get ban for leaving my card at the club house.BARB FOLLETT
Did you see Barb's story in this month's April issue L A Times on page 11, 2012? Is her story more important than the death of Jeff Salvin, who was a elected member of the CDD and president of the CDD. until Barb Follett said you can replace him after one year of service. Jeff was still a elective member of the CDD when he past away. NO STORY, NO MENTION AT ALL OF HIS PASSING, JUST WORD OF MOUTH. WHAT A TRASH OF GARBAGE THE L A TIMES IS. THEY JUST CAN'T WAIT TO STICK A KNIFE IN YOUR BACK. Trish Adams must be fired and replace, ASAP. She is no longer welcome as the witch of Lake Ashton. We don't want any stripper who leaves her shirt unbutton at the entertainment show, bans residents for using the clubhouse, bans residents for putting on charity shows or refuses to mention the death of Jeff Salvin in the L A Times. She must go, make no bones about it.
Larry Maxwell
Yes he stole all the animal heads from the billiard room and I get ban.

Margo Steavens and the CDD committee $3,000,000 budget of Lake Ashton
The CDD committee is the most dumbest members ever elected in the History of this commodity. Margo Steavens has got to be the dumbest of all members. She has no love for anyone. She loves the developer and will always protect him. Now you have Carol Pontious who help run Bingo with her husband Paul. Together they use the Bingo money to buy gas and food for their home and used it to go to high price restaurants with all her friends. She is as much as a crook as her husband. Jake Eaton, a cop with no brains, put this guy in jail, and throw away the key. Another dumb guy who always looks into things but never comes up with a solution. Now you have the big money maker Jan Carpenter $1,000 just to sit with the board. She is useless as a _________. Get rid of all this trash and you will have a changed, honest and happy community.
: FW: 4TH GRADE TEACHER LETS OBAMA HAVE IT
IF SHE GETS FIRED THEN THEY NEED TO REPLACE THE SCHOOL BOARD !!!!!!!!A TEACHER FROM THE GREAT STATE OF MISSOURI WILL LOSE HER JOB FOR STANDING UP FOR ALL OF US.Give this teacher, a true American, a standing ovation.This 4th grade teacher has said it all, and she was brave enough to attach hername to it.The White House1600 Pennsylvania AvenueWashington , DC 20500Mr. Obama:I have had it with you and your administration, sir. Your conduct on yourrecent trip overseas has convinced me that you are not an adequaterepresentative of the United States of America collectively or of me personally.You are so obsessed with appeasing the Europeans and the Muslim world that youhave abdicated the responsibilities of the President of the United States ofAmerica . You are responsible to the citizens of the United States . You arenot responsible to the peoples of any other country on earth.I personally resent that you go around the world apologizing for the UnitedStates telling Europeans that we are arrogant and do not care about theirstatus in the world. Sir, what do you think the First World War and the SecondWorld War were all about if not the consideration of the peoples of Europe ?Are you brain dead? What do you think the Marshall Plan was all about? Do younot understand or know the history of the 20th century?Where do you get off telling a Muslim country that the United States doesnot consider itself a Christian country? Have you not read the Declaration ofIndependence or the Constitution of the United States ? This country wasfounded on Judeo-Christian ethics and the principles governing this country, atleast until you came along, come directly from this heritage. Do you notunderstand this?Your bowing to the king of Saudi Arabia is an affront to all Americans. OurPresident does not bow down to anyone, let alone the king of Saudi Arabia . Youdidn't show Great Britain , our best and one of our oldest allies, the respectthey deserve yet you bow down to the king of Saudi Arabia .. How dare you, sir!How dare you!You can't find the time to visit the graves of our greatest generation becauseyou don't want to offend the Germans but make time to visit a mosque in Turkey. You offended our dead and every veteran when you give the Germans morerespect than the people who saved the German people from themselves. What's thematter with you? I am convinced that you and the members of your administrationhave the historical and intellectual depth of a mud puddle and should be ashamedof yourselves, all of you.You are so self-righteously offended by the big bankers and the Americanautomobile manufacturers yet do nothing about the real thieves in thissituation, Mr. Dodd, Mr. Frank, Franklin Raines, Jamie Gorelic, the Fannie Maebonuses, and the Freddie Mac bonuses. What do you intend to do about them?Anything? I seriously doubt it.What about the U.S. House members passing out $9.1 million in bonuses to theirstaff members on top of the $2.5 million in automatic pay raises that lawmakersgave themselves? I understand the average House aide got a 17% bonus. I took a5% cut in my pay to save jobs with my employer. You haven't said anything aboutthat. Who authorized that? I surely didn't!Executives at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will be receiving $210 million inbonuses over an eighteen-month period, that's $45 million more than the AIGbonuses. In fact, Fannie and Freddie executives have already been awarded $51million not a bad take. Who authorized that and why haven't you expressed youroutrage at this group who are largely responsible for the economic mess we haveright now?I resent that you take me and my fellow citizens as brain-dead and not caringabout what you idiots do. We are watching what you are doing and we are gettingincreasingly fed up with all of you.I also want you to know that I personally find just about everything you do andsay to be offensive to every one of my sensibilities. I promise you that I willwork tirelessly to see that you do not get a chance to spend two termsdestroying my beautiful country.Sincerely,Every real AmericanP.S. I rarely ask that emails be 'passed around'.................PLEASE SENDTHIS TO YOUR EMAIL LIST......it's past time for all Americans to wake up!Ms Kathleen LydayFourth Grade TeacherGrandview Elementary School
