BINGO
Paul Pontious suddenly took over the Bingo game after he told Jessie that a HOA member must be on the BINGO BOARD to overlook the operations of BINGO. This my friends was a total lie from Paul Pontious. No member of the HOA Board needs to be on the BINGO Board. At that time Jessie did not know this. Jessie started the Bingo game with a loan from the management of $7,000. With the money he bought all the equipment needed for Bingo and got it started. In two years he paid back all the money in two payments of $3,500 each. Jessie did all the hard work looking for all the outlets for the Bingo supplies. Paul Pontious was president of the HOA Board at that time he came on board to oversee the operations of Bingo. Slowly he kept asking Jessie how to operate the Bingo machine. Then he wanted to know how to divide the money, how to do this, how to do that etc. Before you know it, he knew everything there was to know. He even had his name on the Bingo bank account with Jessie. What a smooth operator. He even had Jessie come over to set up all the chairs and tables and Paul would come in around 6:30 to see if everything was done. Before you know it Paul was calling all the numbers and had taken over as BINGO president. Jesse was doing all the work and Paul was coming in at the last minute doing nothing, yes nothing. Now Paul is telling everyone even the CDD Board how to spend the Bingo money. He is also spreading bad stories about Jessie, which is all a big lie. Bingo must pay $200 to rent the hall. Paul has certainly made a mess of Bingo. Jessie now has his home for sale. He wants out of Lake Ashton. With people like Paul Pontious I don't blame him. He even wants me out of here. What HOA member is looking out for Bingo now? Why is everyone smoking outside the main entrance when Paul Pontious sign the covariance that no smoking is allowed there. He tells the CDD board where the money should be spend. What do we have a new community director?

Residents Say HOA President Vandalized Their Cars

PALM BAY, Fla. -- Sometimes neighbors just aren't neighborly. Palm Bay homeowners called Eyewitness News after, they say, their HOA president vandalized their cars. They say he did it as a form of retaliation; they are the same homeowners trying to kick the HOA president out of office.
A group of homeowners have raised all sorts of questions, ranging from the costs of some new bougainvillea to the cost of lawn care at Oakwood Villas (see map). They decided to try to recall the homeowner’s association president and that's when things started to get ugly.
Joyce Lopez came out of her home Friday morning to find her car covered in eggs and shaving cream. She's convinced it wasn't child’s play.
“There were two cars here and my car was the only one,” she said.
Lopez suspects she was specifically targeted because she is one of a small group of people petitioning to recall the president of the Oakwood Villas Homeowner’s Association, Ed Socha. Four of the six people listed on the petition have all had their cars vandalized.
"I live alone and I don't know what’s next. I may come out and somebody may knock me down, too. I'm scared,” Lopez said.
They believe the association's half-million dollar budget is being mismanaged. They have also raised concerns about what they consider racist emails, filled with slurs, distributed by the president.
Eyewitness News tried to contact Socha, but he was no where to be found.
One other homeowner sent pictures of his car covered in a gray substance after he raised questions at an association meeting. When he confronted the property managers, they said it had to be a bird, but he says no other car was touched.
Police have taken vandalism reports. Whether they can tie them to anyone remains to be seen.

TALLAHASSEE — State Farm officials said they have no option but to leave Florida after Gov. Charlie Crist on Wednesday vetoed legislation to let them offer unregulated property insurance rates.
"At this point, we have no choice," State Farm Florida spokesman Chris Neal said.
State Farm, Florida's largest property insurer, announced in January that it would discontinue 1.2 million policies in Florida due to the state's rocky insurance market. This week, company officials said they would reconsider if Crist OK'd the bill to let the state's most highly capitalized insurers offer unregulated rates.

This message is for Mr Anonymous who calls himself Paul
The writer of this blog is on Anastasia Island enjoying the white sands of the Atlantic, and the ocean water is very warm and clear. We are staying at our second winter home here at St Augustine and will be here for a total 3 weeks. We will then go back to Lake Ashton, pick up our 36' RV, No I don't leave my RV at Lake Ashton and we don't pay $125.00 plus tax for storage fee, I don't like getting screw, and travel across the Eastern part of the United States. We will park the RV at our second summer home in Massachusetts and then we will enjoy Maine Lobster at our main summer home called "King's Kastle" in Maine on Salmon Lake. Mr Anonymous you are free to join us, but I can see you can't because your too busy supporting the high cost of living at Lake Ashton. Yes, wait until you get your large road repair bill, anyhow enjoy muddy Lake Ashton and the wonderful food with the 18% tip, hope you don't get sick. We will be mowing your lawn soon because I can see a Fore Closer coming. And by the way, where did you go to school? Your E-mails are written very poorly and that is why you don't want anyone to know who you are. BINGO PAUL, What a loser.

If a resident looked at all the polls that I posted, he would be bankrupt. 18% tip at lake Ashton Guill, pay for all the mowing of fore closer lawns, repair all the roads, higher pay for do nothing Joe Hunter, pay for use of the clubhouse, higher rates for golf, Kill all the alligators, Higher cost for coffee on Monday coffee meeting How about a fee to enter Lake Ashton? This is a place for the disturb people.
Ashton Grille
You must pay a 18% gratuity for your lunch or dinner service and on top of that the food is not that great. I gave it a second chance and that will be my last. You can have a much better meal elsewhere for the same price or less. You are paying more for your food and service. If your service is poor, you can leave a smaller tip or if the service is great leave a larger tip, but don't tell me how munch I should tip!
