LOOSE LIPS DAVID ISRAEL WAS FORCED TO EAT HIS WORDS WHEN HE DEFAMED 1ST PRIORITY SERVICES, INC,
David began his history of lies and deceptions while running for president of UCO. His strong need for power promulgated the treacherous actions which led to the defeat of his opponent Dan Gladstone.
Without receiving payment in advance, Ist Priority was the only Company willing to enter Century Village to begin cleanup operations after the hurricane. At that time, no other Company was willing to begin restoration of water damage without first being paid by the insurance company.
Hence, Dan Gladstone's only choice was to allow Ist Priority into the village to begin cleanup. One problem resulted with Ist priority out of many and was blown up out of proportion by David Israel and his gang of supporters in order to defame Ist Priority and his opponent Dan Gladstone.
In reading the letter below you will discover that David was forced under threat of serious legal action to retract his infamous deception.

Attn: Yitshak Levy, President

Hollywood, Florida 33021
Dear Mr. Levy:
On , 2009 during a United Civic Organization (" UCO" ) Insurance meeting, I took it upon myself to publish to its President, George Loewenstein and other committee members, then in attendance, a purported memorandum regarding the validity and experience of Ist Priority Restoration Services, Inc.
My memorandum commenced with five(5)" key" questions, to wit:
How and why is UCO First Named Insured?
Why is UCO interfering in Association Insurance Affairs?
Why are so many claims involving potentially unnecessary repairs being filed? What is our risk of being unable to acquire insurance as a result of our escalating claims~ volume?
Why did we select a 5 year old inexperienced firm for such a major project?
My memorandum first states that " 1st Priority Restoration" does not appear to be licensed in Florida. I then go on to state that " 1st Priority Restoration Services, Inc. " appears to be the true name of the firm. I hereby acknowledge that at all times relevant herein, 1st Priority Restoration Services, Inc., was a duly incorporated Florida corporation and I apologize for inferring that the company was not licensed in Florida for not having filed their articles of incorporation with the Florida Secretary of State, Division of Corporations.
My memorandum then states that 1st Priority Restoration Services, Inc.'s web site refers to MC Enterprises of South Florida, Inc. (" MC" ) which is " reminiscent of those who do handyman jobs in CV and advertise in the Reporter under other people's name and license." I further stated that MC is licensed but made no mention of First Priority. What I should have stated is that the corporate address, the President and Vice President of both corporations are identical. Thus, this is NOT reminiscent of persons who perform other " handyman jobs" . I hereby apologize for defaming the activities of 1st Priority Restoration Services, Inc.

My memorandum further states that " I would suspect the Legal ability of either firm to carry out Mold mitigation." I acknowledge that I have no competent substantial evidence of the truthfulness of this statement and apologize for defaming the services rendered by 1st Priority Restoration Services, Inc. mld/or MC Enterprises of South Florida, Inc.
My memorandum further states that " The Corporation filing clearly indicates that 1st. Priority Restoration Services, Inc., was created on September 9. 2004 (within a week after Hurricane Frances had devastated Florida ) specifically, I suspect, to rape Florida Citizens of all those juicy Insurance dollars and Deductible payments." I acknowledge that I have no competent substantial evidence of the truthfulness' of this statement and apologize for defaming the good name of 1st Priority Restoration Services, Inc.
In addition, I acknowledge orally stating at a recent UCO meeting that 1st Priority Restoration Services, Inc. operated under the following entities: (a) First Priority DKI; and (b) First Priority Restoration, Inc. 1 acknowledge that at no time did 1st Priority Restoration Services, Inc. ever operate under the foregoing names and that I have no competent substantial evidence of the truthfulness of my statement. I hereby apologize for defaming the good name of 1st Priority Restoration Services, Inc. and misleading the public as to its work and reputation.
It appears that my memorandum, while only distributed at the UCO meeting, was in fact disseminated to other members within Century Village, Boca Raton. Accordingly, 1 hereby request that those who made copies of my previous Memorandum to make equal or greater numbers of copies of this retraction letter and that they distribute it as they did my Memorandum.
Finally, please consider this correspondence as my formal retraction of all defamatory references to IST Priority Restoration Services, Inc I realize that I was remiss in not checking more carefully to ensure the accuracy of my information, for which I sincerely apologize. I hereby formally state that I have no reservations whatsoever of UCO or any other entity within Century Village or elsewhere from soliciting and utilizing the services of IST Priority Restoration Services, Inc
Very truly yours,

Whether !st Priority was good or not at the job they undertook is really not the issue. We had many issues with them in our building, but they were the only firm at that point in time who responded. Today, I believe, there are more firms available but they all seem to thrive on the rip and destrou theory. We have all had experiences with lousy contractors or workers, but that does not make it Dan's fault. As is obvious from this info, the letter that Dave HAD to write, Dave spread malicious rumors, really nasty ones, even to other CV's, and then had to retract but the interesting thing is , is that we never heard of this info until Olga posted it. Thank you again, Olga, for presenting the truth. All this was done to run a dirty campaign on Dan who had contributed so much of his own time and effort to helping people with their insurance problems. Now perhaps, in the new campaign, we can let the truth roll out, though the UCO paper is rather controlled, and people can be informed before they vote. And, of course, we now have the elephant in the room - how many more times has this kind of lie and dirty tricks been pulled? How do we trust a president who has done this and could well do it again, who lets nasty stuff be said about great people working for all of us in UCO, a la Dorothy? Don't we at least need to instruct Dave, AS OUR REPRESENTATIVE, to tone down his language and check his facts before and when he speaks in our name to and about others? Why was there no censure issue raised in the Delegate Assembly? I can really answer that - can you? C'mon, people! this is my home and yours stop this stupid nananunah kind of talk and let us talk productively. If the more bitter enemies out there in the world can talk to each other, why not us?
ReplyDeleteI am in the process of gathering additional information about Dan Gladstone and 1st Priority. I want the residents to know the whole truth. There have been many false rumors spread about Dan which I know to be false. Please bear with me; the truth will be told soon.
ReplyDeleteThis letter should be made public so that the whole village will know that David stole the elction from Dan by these now admitted false accusations. Dan lost by only 2 votes and I am certain that were it not for David's false accusations, Dan whould have won. I hope that Dan will now consider another try at the presidency. I just wonder how many other of David's rants will in time prove false. If the UCO reporter will not print David's appology, I think that it should be a flyer to be handed out at a delegate's meeting. George Loewenstein Past UCO president
ReplyDeleteThank you Olga for caring enough about all of us that live in the village to do all you're doing to get the truth out. There are many who do know the truth, but are not brave enough to open their mouths. I highly respect your commitment to all of us. You are a strong woman who will fight to the end to expose the lies and deceit bought upon us by David Israel. The truth will always win in the end. I am very proud of you, and I know I'm not alone.
ReplyDeleteI marvel at the way David signed this letter of apology to lst Priority - i.e. 'very truly yours'. Truly? What a joke! Why was this letter never seen by the residents of the Village? I guess it was hidden by the great pretender.
ReplyDeleteTHE TRUE STORY BEHIND 1ST PRIORITY
ReplyDeleteIn 2009, UCO’S insurance was renewed. The insurance Company UCO used during that time was sold to another Company. When the policy was renewed, the new company made the mistake of writing one policy with a $50,000 limit for mold damage. The original policy called for EACH association to have a $50,000 limit for mold damage. This error meant, in the event of a hurricane the village would only be covered for a grand total of $50,000 mold damage.
Dan Gladstone, insurance chair at the time, did not receive the policies until March of that year. (The policy was effective January 1st) As a result, when he received them and discovered the mistake, he immediately notified the insurance Company of their error. The insurance company agreed to issue an endorsement to the policy to correct the mistake. Meanwhile, the hurricane destroyed many units, and because of the insurance company error, contractors refused to repair any damage, unless they were guaranteed payment in advance.
While the Insurance Company was putting together the endorsement, Jerry Karpf had his monthly umbrella club meeting and invited a representative of 1st priority as a guest. This was the first meeting between Dan Gladstone and 1st Priority. At that meeting, Dan saw an opportunity to speak to 1st priority about our problem. 1st priority agreed to do the work without receiving money up front. They understood the problem and said they would wait for the insurance Company to issue the endorsement to allow each Association to have a total of $50,000 in mold damage. Dan said OK but insisted all work must have permits. At that time, none of the unit owners had permits for the work needed to repair their units. (Thirty eight inspections previously failed due to violations.) 1st priority was told by the inspectors, they were not allowed to begin work until all violations were removed. After the violations were removed the inspectors would issue permits to begin work. The inspectors gave the responsibility of removing the violations to the unit owners and the Associations. This created a long waiting period in which repair work was held up due to the existing violations. Many unit owners were unaware of the cause of the delay; they became frustrated and blamed Dan. Dan Gladstone went before the Insurance commission to complain about the inspectors not giving permits to the contractors to allow them to begin work. He was told by the commission, “What do you want us to do? Have those contractors to do the work without permits? They have to wait.” Eventually, the violations were removed, and 1st priority completed all the work. The delays caused the unit owners to become frustrated, and they put all the blame on Dan. David Israel saw the perfect opportunity to capitalize on the owner’s anger and frustrations by using Dan Gladstone as a whipping boy. The owners quickly forgot about all the work and effort Dan Gladstone put into serving the village for the past ten years. The result was David Israel won that election by only TWO votes.
Authors note: 1st priority had previously worked in Century Village and had never encountered any problems within the county. Their reputation was sullied by David Israel and his henchmen that wanted David in power.
It was because of a threatened lawsuit by 1st priority that David Israel knew he could not defend that he was forced to write this letter of retraction.
This is only a vignette of the real character of David Israel.
