Congratulations to Bernardo-Goldstein & Quinn Agency, Inc. on their 50th Anniversary
Click anywhere in the black above to celebrate!!
 Bill Bernardo got his start in the bail business in February 1962, on a handshake with his insurance partner at the time, Herbert L. Goldstein. Bill and Herbie knew all of Albany and everybody knew of them as Albany's best in the business. The two were inseparable both professionally and socially right up until Herbies' untimely death in 1990. This opened the door for two of Bills' sons to begin their careers in the family business and launch the next phase of Bernardo-Goldstein & Quinn. With the addition of both Rick and Jay Bernardo, Bill's time was now spent doing some of the things he enjoys most; traveling, golfing, socializing and dining.
Currently Bill spends his days still working the office or consulting with the NYS Insurance Department working on new test questions or tweaking the dynamics of the bail industry. As of 2010, there has been another family addition joining the staff, Bill's daughter Lisa.
Always the hit of the party, "Mr. Wonderful" enjoys life on the go and quality time spent with his wife, Betty, five children and twenty grandchildren. There is never a dull moment and life couldn't be better!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS
NINPO SURETY PROMOTES EXCELLENCE IN BAIL AT THEIR ANNUAL
CHRISTMAS PARTY IN JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA
Ced Oden, President of Ninpo Surety hosted their annual Christmas Party this year at the beautiful One Ocean Hotel in Jacksonville, Florida on December 10, 2011. Bail agents from throughout the state of Florida were in attendance.
Cheryl Burns, CEO of Bail USA was in attendance along with Karyn Herrmann and Monica Burrell. Everyone had a great time. There was a program where Cheryl was asked to say a few words. She highlighted in her message to the bail agents how proud she was of all of the Seneca Bail Agents in Florida. She praised Ced Oden for his ability to be a great team leader because of his commitment to the industry, his ability to be a positive influence to others and his skill in planning for the future. She praised everyone there because of their professionalism, sense of responsibility to do the right thing both in their business and personal lives and their transparency in their business. She congratulated Sherry Blue for her hard work and dedication to our industry and for her work with the Florida Bail Association and Oniel Manhertz for his professionalism and transparency in the bail industry in Southern Florida. Mr. Manhertz is the new leader of bail in Dade County and he is a person that everyone respects in the court system.
Bail USA gave away two American Express gift cards for $150.00 and the winners were Bruce Camacho and Wendell Riley. Cheryl’s intent was to present the award to the bail agency that has done the best job at keeping Bail USA updated with exonerations on both their liability and forfeitures. The liability and forfeiture numbers throughout the state were so good she decided to have everyone enter the drawling. Again, congratulations to both Bruce and Wendell.
Ninpo Surety presented the following awards:
Top Sales Award - Sherry Blue and Oneil Manhertz
Outstanding New Bail Agent Awards – Byron McDaniel and Juan Tomlinson
There was a special moment of silence for Antonio Cooks who passed away this earlier this year. I remember meeting Antonio at the Ninpo Christmas Party last year. He was a wonderful man who was always happy and who always spoke positively about the people he met. Antonio you made a positive impact on others during the time you spent on this earth. Our thoughts and prayers will always be with you and your family.
Cheryl enjoyed meeting and speaking to everyone on Saturday but her unsung hero of the evening was Verne Williams. Verne was seriously injured this year and seeing him Saturday made her heart sing. Here is a man who does not complain about his injury but instead continues to run a remarkable bail agency in Jacksonville. He is proud of his mentor and leader, Ced Oden, and takes pride in establishing a transparent bail operation. Verne, you are a remarkable man and we salute you!
We wish you and yours a Blessed Holiday Season.

'Appreciation is a wonderful thing: It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well.'
In the state of Idaho the bail industry is very competitive. They have retail bail agents that charge less than the filed rate and provide credit terms for the balance of the premium of money.
 We at Bail USA are proud to recognize CJ Nemeth who is the President of the Idaho Bail Agents Association and a Seneca Bail Agent. Not only is she a licensed private detective, she is also a processor server. CJ and the Professional Bail Agents of Idaho have filed legislation to require that the full 10% premium be paid prior to a defendants release from jail. The legislation does not take away a person's ability to obtain credit, but it does require if credit is given that it is obtained through a credit company and have no connection with the bail industry.
CJ also sits on the Rules Committee for the Idaho Supreme Court alongside fellow bail agent Jonna Duvall. The responsibility of the Committee is to create the Bail Bond Guidelines which will govern bail agents. The last meeting sent a clear message, bail age nts have a choice. They can either clean up their own industry or the Supreme Court of Idaho will file legislation to change the Constitution of Idaho. This will allow for 10% bail, ultimately eliminating the bondsman of the state.
In addition to being very professional, motivated and influential, CJ is also very family oriented. CJ is married to Steve Nemeth and has two children, three grandchildren and is an avid animal lover.
Our hat goes off today to CJ Nemeth. She is doing a great job at being a leader in the bail industry to implement bail reform. Please take a moment and send her a note to tell her how much you appreciate what she is doing. You can do so by emailing her at cjnemeth@astrobail.com
