Most people learn early in life to play by the rules.  If they were raised properly, most of them usually learn that there are consequences for breaking the rules.  In Little League, for example, one of the worst infractions is throwing the bat, the consequence of which is being ejected from the game.  No matter how frustrated a batter is, either at the pitcher or the umpire, or both, the batter must never throw a bat in anger.  The general idea is that if a kid gets tossed from a game, he or she will learn to control that anger next time.  This punishment usually works the first time as there are very few repeat offenders in Little League.  Even kids who were raised by wolves eventually get it.

Unfortunately in the grown up world, there are not enough consequences for doing the wrong thing, and if repeat offenders are given a pass often enough, they eventually start believing that the rules either don’t apply to them or that rules were meant to be broken.

The Pee-Air Connection

Take the case of North Miami Beach councilman Frantz Pierre, for example.  This buffoon has been the subject of five Internal Affairs investigations, and yet, he has not suffered even one consequence as a result of any of them.

As I recapped in my column, Fun With Frantzie – The Sneaky Pee (Air) of NMB, L’il Frantzie P has:

1. Falsely accused a city employee of plotting to plant drugs in his office in an attempt to get him fired;
2. Terrorized another employee for doing his job;
3. Was suspected of framing that same employee in an attempt to get him fired;
4. Accused yet another employee of wrongdoing in an attempt to get her fired; and
5. Stealing city property just for the hell of it.

 

Let’s not also forget the dirty trick he played on his challenger in the 2011 election, when he falsely accused her of physically attacking one of his “wives” and filing a restraining order against her in an attempt to get her out of the race.  In that instance, he gave the police one story and when the case was brought before a judge, he gave another story.  He appeared to have committed perjury, yet somehow no one gave a crap.  The State Attorney simply said, “Move along, folks.  Nothing to see here.”

As a result of there being no consequences for any of his alleged criminal and ethical infractions, Frantz Pierre has been given a pass to do whatever the hell he wants with impunity.

The buck keeps getting passed and the ball continues to be dropped.

Tricks of His Trade

Here we are at yet another municipal election and The P Man is again up to his old tricks.  He has obviously been planning and plotting his next move since the last election, and most likely long before that.

This year, Frantzie has decided to install two of his friends into the election, Jean D. Berrouet and Yvenoline Dargenson, both of whom he appointed to the city’s Library Board – Berrouet in 2009 and Dargenson in 2010.  Dargenson’s husband, Frannix Jean-Mary was also appointed in 2010.  All were obviously appointed in order to set them up to eventually run for office.

Now Frannix just happens to be one of the two men that Frantz decided to bring with him as uninvited, non-paying “guests” to a Miami-Dade County League of Cities conference.  Along with the King of Absentee Ballots Volney Nerette, Freeloader Frannix was escorted out of the party.  How embarrassing!

Undeterred by this humiliation, Frantz is now the force behind the Wife of Frannix, Yvenoline Dargenson filing to run for office in North Miami Beach.  There’s only one tiny little problem with her candidacy … NEITHER SHE NOR HER HUSBAND LIVE IN NORTH MIAMI BEACH!

Let’s start at the beginning.

The North Miami Beach City Charter

According to our City Charter, Paragraph (a)(4) of Section 7-5 – QUALIFICATIONS FOR CITY OUNCILPERSONS, Article III Elections, states, “a.  Prospective candidates for the Office of Mayor or Councilperson:” must “4. Be a bona fide resident of the City of North Miami Beach and express an intent to remain permanently a bona fide resident of the City during the entire term of office for which he or she is a candidate.”  Paragraph c. also states, “c. The term “bona fide resident” shall mean a permanent, fixed place of domicile within the City of North Miami Beach, to the exclusion of all other places.”

In addition, Section 11, of Article III Elections of the City Charter clearly states, “Each candidate, at the time of qualifying with the clerk, must have continuously resided in the City of North Miami Beach for at least one (1) full year.”

What part of “to the exclusion of all other places” don’t you understand?

Now, according to a multitude of public records, all of which I personally obtained online and in person by traveling all over Broward County, Yvenoline Dargenson and her husband, Frannix Jean-Mary, are the proud owners of a homesteaded property located at 9620 Boulder Street, Miramar, Florida 33025.

Here is Yvenoline Dargenson’s MyLife page:

These are just a few examples of the paper trail left by Yvenoline Dargenson and her husband, Frannix Jean-Mary, all of which clearly point to the fact that she lives in Miramar, Broward County, Florida and NOT in North Miami Beach.  I’m just getting started.

The Domino Effect

In order to run for office in North Miami Beach, Ms. Dargenson had to sign an AFFIDAVIT OF CANDIDATE, swearing under oath that she meets the residency requirements and that she lives in our city.  By doing so, she has possibly committed perjury.

If that wasn’t enough, Frantz Pierre appointed Yvenoline Dargenson to the Charter Review Committee, a position that requires the members to be bona fide residents of the City of North Miami Beach.  This misrepresentation of her residency now calls into question the integrity of entire Committee.

Adding to their myriad of lies, the both of them have been registered to vote in Miami-Dade County since 2000, the same year they purchased their home in Broward County.  This points to potential voter fraud, as well.

I wonder if the lies are worth all the consequences.

The Smoking Gun

But the best proof yet that Ms. Dargenson lives in Miramar is by way of a lawsuit filed by River Run Homeowners Association, Inc. on May 10, 2012 against Frannix Jean-Mary and Yvenoline Dargenson for unpaid fees and assessments, under Case No. 12-05874.  In a handwritten letter filed with the Broward County Court in response to the Complaint, one of the defendants (can’t read the signature) referred to the property as “our home.”  In a sworn statement entitled Return of Service, process server Barbara Markowitz stated that she personally served the “Summons, Notice of Lis Pendens and Complaint to Forclosure” to “Yvenoline Dargenson at the address of: 9620 Boulder Street, Miramar, Florida 33025” on “the 12^th day of May, 2012 at 10:30 am.”

Since process servers don’t make an appointment when serving a Summons, but show up randomly, obviously, Ms. Dargenson was AT HER HOME when the process server caught up with her.

Since Ms. Dargenson was AT HER HOME on May 12, 2012 in order to receive this Service of Process, THIS IS PROOF THAT SHE HAS NOT LIVED IN NORTH MIAMI BEACH FOR THE REQUIRED TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRIOR TO AN ELECTION IN ORDER TO RUN FOR OFFICE!

Like her mentor, L’il Frantzie P, it appears that Yvenoline Dargenson has no problem with lying to get what she wants.  Especially if it means she gets inducted into the Circle of Corruption, of which The P Man is obviously now a member.

And like the North Miami candidates who do not live in that city, Yvenoline Dargenson does not hang her hat in North Miami Beach, “to the exclusion of all other places.”

The Memo – Smoking Gun Part II

The amazingly talented Sergeant Richard Silberman conducted an investigation of the residency and backgrounds of all the candidates running for office this election.  As part of his investigation he personally visited the listed residences of the candidates and interviewed neighbors as to their observations of and interactions with the candidates.  In the case of Yvenoline Dargenson, he visited both the residences of her parents and the one she owns in Miramar, Broward County, Florida.

According to a Memorandum dated April 10, 2013 written by North Miami Beach Sergeant Richard Silberman, who conducted the residency investigations of all the candidates for this May 7, 2012 election, he concluded that he “cannot provide positive confirmation that Ms. Yvenoline Dargenson is a bonafide resident of the City of North Miami Beach, to the exclusion of all other places as codified within the Charter of the City of North Miami Beach.”

In order to emphasize his statement, Sergeant Silberman underlined this final statement of his Memorandum.

This is my absolute favorite paragraph of the Memo:

Even if Ms. Dargenson’s mother’s statement that she “moved out of this house approximately 3 to 6 months ago” is true, that is still less than the required residency of twelve (12) months prior to qualifying to run in North Miami Beach.

Also, if her mother’s statement that she and her husband have split up is true, Frannix Jean-Mary and Yvenoline Dargenson must be having an awfully amicable separation, considering they were both seen together attending the Miami-Dade County Commission on Ethics and Public Trust’s Campaign Skills Seminar on March 11, 2013.  They were also seen together in the lobby of City Hall on qualifying day, Saturday, March 30, 2013.  And furthermore, if, as her mother claims, “they are trying to work things out,” does that mean Ms. Dargenson will be moving back into the marital home in Broward County any time soon?  Just saying.

On top of all the other mounting evidence, Dargenson’s own mother’s comments seem to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that Yvenoline Dargenson DOES NOT LIVE IN NORTH MIAMI BEACH.  As far as smoking guns go, Sergeant Silberman’s Memorandum is the second bullet in the double barrel shotgun.

The Moral of the Story

This brings to mind a comment made by one of the astute readers of a recent column, who said, “These carpetbaggers are targeted and recruited because they are connected to members of a specific coalition. I don’t think they have any other connection to the city. I doubt they know anything at all about North Miami and yet they aspire to “serve.”

Frantz Pierre’s puppet Yvenoline is nothing more than a carpetbagger, who was recruited for the sole purpose of increasing the The P Man’s chances of passing self-serving legislation on the dais.

Now that she has been outed as a ringer, she MUST be disqualified from running for office.

More importantly, if the City Clerk does not act accordingly in light of all the overwhelming evidence proving that Yvenoline Dargenson absolutely, positively DOES NOT LIVE IN THE CITY OF NORTH MIAMI BEACH, she will be deemed to be in dereliction of her duty.
