“You can’t hit the ‘pause’ button on life”
Grieving fathers remember murdered sons
Attorney General Bondi Warns
Consumers of Common Summer Scams
TALLAHASSEE, Fla.—Memorial Day weekend
marks the beginning of the summer travel season
and Attorney General Pam Bondi urges consumers
to be aware of travel and tourism scams. There are
many different types of travel scams, but two of the
more recent scams are vacation prize package scams
and vacation rental scams.
“Before scheduling your next vacation please be
wary of common types of travel-related scams and
research your plans before committing to any
arrangements,” said AG Bondi. “If anyone encounters a scam or suspects a potential scam, please contact my office at 1-866-9-NO-SCAM.”
Vacation prize packages or travel club scams usually involve consumers paying for a vacation that
they never get to take. Consumers typically first receive a postcard saying they won a free vacation.
When consumers call to claim their prize, the scammers promise more information in exchange for the
consumers’ credit card information to assess a small
service charge or to withhold taxes. Consumers may
also be promised a free vacation and other low-cost
travel options once they pay to join a travel club.
Once consumers have signed up, they either never
receive the vacation due to dates being blocked out
or the company closes without notice. Consumers
that do receive a vacation later find that the prices
they paid are the same as consumers who did not
pay for membership fees.
Vacation rental scams usually involve a rental at
a great price that can be purchased by wiring money
for an application fee or security deposit. Once the
consumer wires the money, the rental is no longer
available. In order to set this trap, some scammers
will hijack a real rental listing by changing the contact information and placing the altered ad on other
sites. Other scammers make up a listing for a rental
that is not for rent or does not even exist, using
below-market pricing to lure in as many consumers
as possible.
Below are tips to avoid becoming a victim of
travel-related or vacation-related scams:
• When booking a vacation using a travel club or
an entity offering a vacation prize package:
- Be cautious of firms that ask for payment
before confirming reservations;
- Do business with an established company;
- Request written information on the total cost
of the vacation and all items included; and
- Inquire about cancellation rights and terms.
• When booking a vacation rental:
- Search for the best real estate rental website to
use that offers protection in the event of fraud
or offers payment transfer options. Also, look
for websites that offer a payment portal, where
money is held in escrow until the renter arrives at the rental property with keys in hand;
- Do not rely solely on email to contact the owner
and be wary of foreign telephone numbers;
- Investigate the property and if possible, visit
the property before signing a contract or sendBondi (Continued on page 4)

expressed in articles submitted by monthly and/or periodic
contributors to the Victims' Advocate newspaper do not necessarily reflect the views of the Justice Coalition
Murderers convicted of their crimes are usually sentenced to life in prison, or maybe
to death, but that punishment is just for the victim they killed. It doesn’t include the husbands,
wives, children, parents and other family members and friends whose lives are often destroyed,
as well. From the moment their loved ones are taken from them, every day is filled with grief,
and special days/holidays are hardest to endure.
This month we celebrate Father’s Day. For most of us it’s a time to express our love
and appreciation to our dads, but for others painful memories drain pleasure from the day.
Last month we wrote about Kalil McCoy who was killed on Father’s Day, and this month we
tell about two fathers whose sons, one of them a father as well, will not be present on their
special day.
By Shirley Shaw
It is not a day Keith
Klinedinst looks forward to celebrating. He was 24 years old
when his father was murdered in
1992. William Klinedinst was
driving home from work in the
early morning hours of July 4,
when a still-unknown assailant
threw a seven-pound chunk of
concrete from the Collins Road
overpass into his car. Mortally
wounded, with his face ripped
apart and his sternum crushed,
William managed to steer his car
off I-295 near the 103rd Street exit
– but the car ended up in dense
woods and couldn’t be seen from
the roadway. It was three months
before police in a helicopter saw a
shiny object among the trees and
discovered the car with his body
inside.
His family was devastated
when he disappeared, at first
wondering what on earth had
happened to him. Keith says, “It
was as if aliens had come and
picked him up – he just disappeared.” Then learning the terrible way his father had died
compounded the grief he and his
family endured. He says at that
time there was no one to turn to
– the Justice Coalition had not
been formed then. It wasn’t until
two or three years later that he
and his mother, Hazel Klinedinst,
attended the first meeting when
Ted Hires started the organization that would later play another
role in his life.
Although his mother was
very active on behalf of victims’
rights (she wrote hundreds of letters to lawmakers pushing for
stronger legislation), Keith lost
Proving Theft
By Jay Howell
The victim left for work one
morning, leaving a bicycle she
bought for her grandson by the
front door. When the victim
came home from work, the bicycle was gone. Her grandson did
not know where the bicycle
was. Another boy in the neighborhood showed the victim a
cell phone video of an individual, later identified as the defendant, riding the bicycle in a canal located up the street
from the victim’s home.
The police arrived and watched the cell phone
video. The victim’s grandsons both identified the defendant as the individual riding the bicycle. A police
officer drove to the defendant’s home and spoke with
him and he denied ever being in possession of the bicycle. The police officer asked the defendant to get the
bicycle and return it to the victim. The defendant
brought the bicycle back to the victim’s house 30 to 40
minutes later. The defendant did not say anything,

There really was no reason to stay
in touch – until one day last year
when his only son Ian was killed,
and his world was shattered once
again.
“I don’t understand why,”
he says. “One time is bad enough,
but to have it happen twice is just
too much. But you can’t hit the
pause button on life; you have to
carry on.”
Last February 16 a neighbor
burst through his front door
telling him Ian had been shot. He
rushed to the scene on a street

but he was wet and the bicycle was damaged.
At the trial the police officer testified that the defendant “denied being on the bike, having the bike,
didn’t know anything about the incident.” Then the
officer told the defendant there was a video “showing
him on the bike and that it would probably be in his
best interest if he knew the whereabouts of the bike,
that he find it and return it to the victim.” The defendant told the officer, “I’ll go get the bike.”
The defendant testified at his trial that on the day
of the incident, he was jumping bicycles with his
friends in the canal, when a kid named “Jeffery”
brought over the bicycle in question. The defendant
said that “Jeffery” lived in a nearby neighborhood and
that the defendant had seen “Jeffery” with the same
bicycle three to four times before. The defendant then
rode the bicycle and jumped into the canal.
The defendant further testified that he had no reason to believe the bicycle was stolen and the first time
he heard it was stolen was from the police officer. In
rebuttal, the State called the victim who testified that
she did not know a “Jeffery” from the neighborhood
and the police officer testified that the defendant

Children killing children must stop!
By Ann Dugger
Our city is
grief-stricken,
mourning for the
needless, tragic loss
of life in recent
days,
weeks,
months, stunned
because of the trend
of violence dominating the news, mostly involving
young men, many of them gang members, whose victims are often innocent
teens or even children who got in the
way of their bullets. Children killing children!
Hardly a day passes that we don’t
hear someone has been wounded or
killed in a shooting, that a horrific car
crash has claimed a life, or a hit-and-run
accident has left a biker or pedestrian
fighting for his/her life. Relatives,
friends or bystanders tell news reporters
they can’t understand what’s going on,
why their neighborhoods are no longer
safe, how they are afraid to leave their
houses or let their children play outside.
School activities, once considered
safe settings for students’ participation,
are now deemed too dangerous to attend. Sports events have been relocated
to neutral venues and no one but players
are admitted – no cheerleaders, fellow
students or parents are there to cheer for
their team.
The Justice Coalition receives calls
from weeping parents, bereft and confused, not knowing which way to turn
after their children are cut down by other
teens who are absolutely without a conscience or moral compass. Despite our
best efforts to offer support and guidance
through the sudden devastation of their
loss, nothing can ease the pain or replace
that loved one.
What is happening in our society?
What can be done to curb the terrible violence? There is an outcry to remove all
guns, but the response that “then only
criminals would have guns” seems to be
an accurate statement. Another saying,
“Guns don’t kill people; people kill people” is also true. These teens are easily
obtaining illegal guns – stolen or from
drug deals/dealers. Somehow we must
change the character of our youth, the
moral climate without a conscience, consideration for others, the mindset to do
the right thing.
Murders create a domino effect; they
don’t just affect the immediate family.
Relatives grieve, as do friends, neighbors,
co-workers, whole communities and
even the entire city. Violence has an economic impact when work time is lost for
various reasons following a tragedy or
when customers are fearful to frequent
stores where a worker has been slain.
Many cases remain unsolved for extended periods of time, tying up law enforcement and legal resources who try to
find resolution.
In this month’s Victims' Advocate our
Hats Off section salutes members of the
faith-based community who are joining
forces to combat this wave of violence.
They are seeking like-minded men who
will be mentors to young men, many
who are being raised in fatherless homes,
to salvage them and influence them to be
responsible citizens. Programs are wonderful and offer an alternate life style, but
only God can create a permanent

Our monthly recognition for the best of the best
Police Supervisor of the Month
Dennis Pellot
Kevin Kuzel
Certificate of Appreciation
Sergeant Dennis Pellot, assigned to Patrol Zone 4, and Mr. Kevin
Kuzel, Aide to Councilman Jim Love, are recognized for playing an instrumental role in the Patrol Zone 4 Safety Fair that took place earlier
Pellot
this year. Last Fall Dennis was tasked with planning, organizing and
managing the first Safety Fair held in Zone 4. ShAdCo Safety Fairs are
focused on providing valuable safety information to the citizens.
As with everything he does, Dennis welcomed the challenge and
was excited about this event. After the location of the event was finalized, he secured local sponsors who provided necessary supplies to
help offset the cost of the event, then he managed the logistics of getting
participants from local law enforcement, health and public safety agencies onboard. He and his team also worked to secure items such as shelter, volunteers, security, and coordinated with the Public Information
Office to get flyers made and circulated information via social media
channels. They also deployed volunteers to local organizations to pass
out flyers.
Kuzel
The event took place on Saturday, January 17, at Oakleaf Town Center and was a tremendous success! Approximately 2,500 individuals attended the outdoor event.
ShAdCo Safety Fairs increase awareness about public safety and focus on important topics such
as traffic safety, identity theft and crime prevention tips. They also provide an outlet for the community, especially children, to interact with law enforcement in a relaxed and informal environment.
On the day of the event, Kevin Kuzel volunteered his time to help make it a success. He was
the event photographer, even going on one of the fire truck ladders to capture an aerial view of
the whole setup. These pictures not only help with public education materials, but they come in
handy during future Safety Fair planning meetings.
Sheriff Rutherford said, “Gentlemen, I can’t thank you enough for the time and effort you put
into this event. Dennis, I know you had a lot of great support not only from Kevin, but from your
Zone 4 team as well, and it showed. Thank you both for exemplifying the Sheriff’s Office Core
Value of Community Focused and Always Improving. Congratulations on this recognition!”
Six Pillars of Character Award
Tommy Herrington
Any JSO employee who goes “above and beyond” in demonstrating one of
the Six Pillars of Character is eligible for this award. Those characteristics are:
Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring and Citizenship.
Officer Tommy Herrington is recognized for the characteristics of
Respect, Caring and Citizenship. In 2014, for the sixth consecutive year,
Tommy spearheaded the annual Christmas Parade in North Jacksonville. This parade is based on a long-forgotten tradition that he remembered witnessing as a child growing up in the Oceanway community. Firefighters would ride
through the neighborhood, with their lights and sirens on, and distribute toys to the children.
It was a constant memory for Tommy as he grew into an adult and became a veteran police officer, now patrolling the very community where he grew up. Wanting to see once again that positive interaction between public safety officers and members of the community, in 2009 he started
a new tradition with the Zone 6 Christmas Parade.
Tommy has established donation sites within the community and he gathers new toys throughout the year for this annual event. His wife, who is also a JSO police officer, then sorts them by age
range and gender, and they store the toys for the holiday season. Every Christmas Eve for the past
six years, Tommy and his wife have played the part of Mr. and Mrs. Claus. And several of the officers’ children play the part of elves at this annual event.
Each year the procession of police vehicles and Santa’s sleigh slowly makes its way through
several local neighborhoods, including San Mateo and Oceanway. Santa and his helpers hand out
the toys along the way to the children in the community. Many children and adults exit their residences to see the excitement and to meet Santa and Mrs. Claus.
Donations from both citizens and local businesses are at the heart of making this parade such
a great success and a staple in Zone 6. The publication North Jax Monthly assisted in setting up
toy collection sites at several local businesses, including AA Bottle Gas Company, Oceanway Hardware, Junior’s Seafood, Cleo’s Sandwich Shop, Toys for Tots and Ancient City Romance Authors.
With the help of these business partners and North Jacksonville residents, the 2014 parade was a
huge success. More than 3,300 toys were given to children in our community.
In addition, due to the generosity of business partners who help put on this event, Tommy was
able to present four families, who were all experiencing difficult times, with a Christmas dinner
provided by Junior’s Seafood and toys particularly selected for the children.
Sergeant Richard Knecht said, “The positive reaction from a special needs adult when she
hugged Santa would have melted even the Grinch’s heart. Her caregivers said that she looks forward all year long to meeting Santa. The parade has become an annual favorite for the citizens of
this community and all of the officers involved.”
Lieutenant Hugh Eason stated, “Officer Herrington is truly deserving of this award. He puts
in countless hours of his own time to ensure the children receive these gifts. He plays the part of
Santa Claus to a tee. It touches your heart to see the thousands of children jumping up and down
and even crying with laughter as he shows up with the toys. He pours his heart and soul into this
event every year.”
Civilian Supervisor of the Month
Artricia L. Cooks (photo not shown)
Police Emergency Communications Sergeant Artricia Cooks, who has taken on many responsibilities in the Communications Unit, is recognized her for professionalism and hard work that
she demonstrates each day. In January 2012, she was assigned to the Communications Quality Assurance Unit and tasked with monitoring calls to ensure that JSO provides a high quality of service
to the citizens in this city – a critical part of commitment to excellence and customer service.
Artricia welcomed the new opportunity and challenge; in the next year she monitored and critiqued more than 4,900 calls to 911 and JSO’s 630-0500 non-emergency number. During this same
time she was involved with the scheduling and interviewing process for potential new hires. And
when a new class of trainees started, she assisted the Communications Training Unit with presentations. She also attended several job fairs in an effort to recruit potential new hires.
In addition to all of these responsibilities PEC Cooks attended numerous meetings and work
performance within the Communications Unit, which is a HIGH STRESS unit of the agency, staffed
JUNE 2015
Corrections Officer of the Month
Christopher Campbell
Christopher Campbell, currently assigned to work at the prison, is
recognized for aiding a citizen following a car crash. Last December,
while he was working as Security Guard for the E-Building, he was
on the crosswalk heading to a different portion of the facility when he
heard a loud crash. He radioed the Transportation Officer advising
there might be a traffic crash on Lannie Road and asked him to call
Rescue while he went to go check on those involved. Fearing there
might be injuries, he ran to the employee parking lot and got his personal vehicle which contained supplies.
Christopher drove to the area where he found a vehicle on the side of the road, overturned
and partially buried in vines. Approaching the car he called out to see if anyone was hurt and
heard someone inside asking for help. He took a tool from his car and tried several times to break
the passenger window. Unfortunately, that did not work. One of his co-workers arrived on scene
with a window-breaking tool, with which he shattered the car window and helped the driver
and his dogs exit the vehicle. He then used his training to provide preliminary first aid to the
driver and check him for injuries. The man had a cut above one of his eyes and Christopher used
his personal first aid kit to bandage the injury while they waited for rescue to arrive on scene.
Corrections Sergeant Eric Mott said, “Due to Officer Campbell’s attention to his surroundings,
quick decision to act, and personal preparedness, he was able to quickly respond and provide
assistance to help someone in need. If he had not heard the crash, or not recognized it as a traffic
crash, a driver that could have been seriously hurt could have been left alone for some time. Officer Campbell’s actions embody the core value Community Focused.”
Police Officer of the Month
Undercover Detective (photo not shown)
Cathy Clark (photo not shown)
Civilian Employee of the Month
These two honorees are recognized in their respected categories for work they did during a
long-term drug investigation and a Racketeering Influence Corrupt Organization (RICO) investigation: Undercover Detective X, Gang Investigations Unit (GIU), and Public Safety Analyst II Cathy
Clark. Cathy works in the Crime Analysis Unit (CAU) where she currently supports detectives
assigned to the Narcotics Unit and the Department of Corrections. She previously worked with
Det. X and his colleagues when she was analyst for the GIU.
An original investigation stemmed from homicides and violent crime that occurred in the New
Town area near Edward Waters College around January 2013 – activity believed to involve members of a local criminal street gang. JSO began investigating this as RICO activity and asked Det.
X to lead the investigation due to his knowledge and expertise as a Gang Investigations detective.
He partnered with agents assigned to the FBI’s Safe Street Task Force and also used every available
resource, which included teaming up with Cathy in the CAU.
Cathy helped put pieces of the puzzle together by obtaining critical information using an array
of analytical techniques, often working overtime to help support the Task Force. Due to information
and intelligence gathered, the team started an offshoot investigation into the drug activity. Known
as “Operation Dead End” this investigation focused on Junior Street, which actually is a dead end
street known for being a source for drugs and a place where documented criminal activity was
occurring.
During the middle of the investigation (from August to October 2013), street gang members
and their associates began burglarizing homes from the Arlington area all the way to Ortega, causing investigators to adjust their strategy. Det. X worked with street-level narcotics detectives to
make drug buys from gang members who set up their operations on Tyler Street. The arrests
slowed the burglaries, which allowed detectives to focus on the higher level RICO offenders and
homicide investigations.
In January 2014, the investigation began to focus on the drug organization operating specifically
on Junior Street. Surveillance revealed the kingpins in that area, and information obtained indicated
one of the drug houses on Junior Street had numerous firearms. A warrant was served by JSO’s
SWAT team that searched the residence, seizing one assault rifle, three handguns, drugs and drug
equipment. The leader of the drug house and two of his associates were also taken into custody
during this raid.
In May 2014, JSO and law enforcement partners targeted the supply chain of the street level
narcotics operation on Junior Street. Det. X, Cathy, their colleagues and JSO’s law enforcement
partners continued to work their way up the chain, where information obtained led to the drug
supplier out of California. Then last August, through collaborative efforts with FBI and HIDTA
officials and their counterparts in California, Det. X and his team intercepted on I-10 near U.S. 301
the next drug shipment en route to Jacksonville. They seized 11 kilos of cocaine with a street value
of $385,000, 20 pounds of marijuana with a street value of $25,000 and 15.8 grams of crack cocaine.
The RICO investigation was not quite over. On Oct. 19, the State Attorney’s Office added
charges of RICO and Conspiracy to commit RICO to seven gang members and their associates
who were already in jail on charges developed during this long-term investigation. Both charges
hold a potential penalty of 30 years in prison; therefore, each co-defendant faces a combined 60year sentence. In addition, several of these defendants were charged as a Habitual Felony Offender
and could face up to life in prison.
This investigation rendered 23 total arrests, 19 of which were Jacksonville locals, three who are
California residents and one who resides in Nevada. In addition, six vehicles and nearly $29,000
were seized. At this time most of the cases are still pending; however, four of the defendants have
pled guilty and have agreed to testify against other defendants in this case.
by highly trained civilians. And for the last three years she has donated her time to help with
the annual basket fundraiser benefiting the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. She not only helps
her unit put together their donated basket of goodies, but also helps with the sale of the raffle tickets for this great cause.
Police Emergency Communications Lieutenant Lisa Duckworth said, “Sergeant Cooks is a respected, trustworthy supervisor who is liked by all. Her willingness to take on numerous tasks,
additional duties and projects truly personifies the concept of being a team player. Her efforts
should not only be recognized but should serve as an example for others.”
Sheriff Rutherford said, “Thank you for lending a helping hand where needed in the Communications Unit. It is truly the gateway to help for the citizens of this community, and I appreciate
your making sure that professionalism and public assistance is our top priority!”

The Justice Coalition was founded in 1995, when one man’s priorities were changed. Ted Hires was
the average businessman working 60 to 80 hours a week and looking out for himself until the day
when he and his staff were robbed at gunpoint. As a victim of a crime, Ted found the crminal justice system worked harder for the criminal than the victim. As a result of his experience, Ted
formed a (501(c)(3)), non-profit organization, Justice Coalition, which continues Ted’s mission of
assisting innocent victims of violent crimes in the Fourth Judicial court system. Since 1995, the
Justice Coalition has been fighting crime every step of the way. Fugitives captured are through a
partnership with local law enforcement agencies, the media, and citizen involvement.

never told the officer he knew who took the
bike. At the close of all evidence, the Judge
found the defendant guilty of theft and adjudicated him delinquent.
Proving theft has always been an interesting
challenge for the State. To prove theft, the prosecutor must introduce evidence that the defendant knowingly obtained or used the victim’s
bicycle with the intent to deprive the victim of
the right to or benefit from the bicycle. Proof of
possession of property recently stolen, unless
satisfactorily explained, gives rise only to an inference that the person in possession of the
property knew or should have known the property had been stolen. Further, mere possession
of stolen property is insufficient to establish
guilt when there is an unrefuted, and not unreasonable, explanation for the possession.
In this case, the appellate court ruled that the
judge, who was sitting as the trier of fact, was
allowed to make a credibility determination and
disbelieve the defendant’s explanation for his

- Check to see if there are additional rental
listings for the property under another
owner’s name;
- Ask for additional photos. A legitimate
owner or property manager can produce
these with little difficulty, while a scammer
is unlikely to have access to additional photos;
and
being on the bike, and the defendant returned
the bicycle after being told of the existence of a
video depicting him riding it and, further, that
“Jeffery” gave him the bicycle, there was a clear
conflict in testimony. The appeal court ruled that
the trial judge was free to disbelieve the defendant and to determine that the motive for the
conflict in testimony was from the guilty conduct of the accused. The judge was also entitled
to believe the defendant’s possession of the bicycle as documented on the cell phone video
and that this evidence was indicative of guilt. In
conclusion, the appellate court found that there
were no errors committed by the trial court and
affirmed the conviction of the accused.
This case is S.M. v. State of Florida and was
decided by the Fourth District Court of Appeal
on November 12, 2014.

near the Avenues Mall but could not get
to him because police had roped off the
area. His 22-year-old son and some
friends had planned to meet at an old
hangout, but newly constructed houses
had changed the landscape so they
turned around to leave.
At that point a woman whose house
had recently been burglarized saw the
cars drive by and apparently assumed
they were the ones responsible. She ran
into her house, grabbed a gun, got in her
car and blocked their exit before shooting into the car, striking Ian. His two
small children in the car witnessed their

When Tommy McDowell learned
that his 19-year-old son, Tommy, Jr., had
been shot and killed, he said, “It’s something you can’t describe. It took everything out of me – all my being, all my
energy, all my strength were removed at
that moment. It just went away. My body
got numb. It was the roughest time of my
life.”
He was sitting on the floor watching
TV with his youngest daughter when his
sister called to say something had happened at his nephew’s house. Tommy
had gone to visit his cousin when a robbery occurred and in the commotion he
was shot. His only son, the pride and joy
of his life, was gone. He was buried on
Tommy Senior’s birthday, December 21,
2012.
In a soft voice Tommy talks about
his son, how smart he was, how respectful and well-mannered, how everyone
loved him. He often helped his father at
his landscaping jobs, and all the customers loved him. He had worked four
years at Winn-Dixie, and his managers
spoke at his funeral about what a great
loss his death was to all of them.
Through the rough times of losing

Addressing Violence in Our Community
By Mayor Alvin Brown
prevent violence.
Our City administration has worked
closely with faith leaders, nonprofit organizations and other community leaders on a variety of programs and
initiatives to help prevent crime from
happening in Jacksonville. Our focus
has been to provide young people with
more opportunities to succeed in life
and become more productive members
of the greater community.
If you show young people the path
to success, they are less likely to follow
a life of crime. If you help them develop
the skills for a productive life, they are
less likely to join a gang. By reopening
five community centers for after-school
programming and expanding our
Urban Parks Initiative to 18 locations
this summer, we are providing a positive and safe environment for youth to
stay off the street and have fun. Last
On April 29, I joined
local faith, nonprofit
and community leaders at the Legends
Community Center to
discuss an important
issue facing our community – the rise
of violent crime among our youth. As a
father, a man of faith, and as mayor of
this great city, I will not be silent in the
face of increased violence here in Jacksonville.
Enough is enough. Too many of our
young people have lost their lives. It is
time to come together, as a community,
to end the violence. Everyone in this
city must step up and take responsibility for changing the conditions that
lead to crime. As mayor, I will continue
to take whatever steps are necessary to
year, neighborhoods within the Urban
Parks Initiative saw crime rates drop
during program hours in all but one location. The City also continues to support opportunities for youth to
participate in our Summer Jobs program and to receive mentoring.
As mayor, I also have supported law
enforcement, including Operation
Ceasefire. But initiatives like these
should not be the limit. We can and we
will do more. Jacksonville is not the
only city facing this problem, and that’s
why I’ve reached out to the U.S. Department of Justice, the National
League of Cities and other organizations to bring in best practices from
other cities across the nation that are
facing these same issues.
The U.S. Department of Justice
quickly responded to my request by
committing a team to work specifically
with Jacksonville. That Justice Department team will provide technical assistance through its National Gang Center,
Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, and Center for
Faith-based and Community Initiatives. Additionally, the National
League of Cities has offered to extend
its partnership to assist us in convening
and facilitating collaborative efforts to
implement a strategic plan for preventing gang violence. Ultimately, the responsibility falls on
each one of us. We must show our
young people that crime is not the answer, and that there are better options
available to them. Working together,
we will reclaim Jacksonville’s youth
and secure a safe and vibrant future for
our great city.

By Shirley Shaw
Following a recent upsurge
in Jacksonville’s crime rate, especially among young black
males possibly involved in
gang activity, local ministers
have rallied to combat these
tragic events. The AME Ministerial Alliance outlined a
seven-point plan that the
group believes will turn the
tide of murders as it did in
2006.
Rev. Mark Griffin, pastor of
Wayman Ministries, has effectively worked many years to
curb the violence in several
communities. His ministry
began an outreach program
several years ago, and the
number of homicides dropped
significantly. Griffin says,
“Let’s dust off a plan that
worked almost 20 years ago.
We believe it will work now.”
Rev. Fredrick Wallace of St.
James AME Church said, “We
walked neighborhoods, such
as Eureka Gardens, Cleveland
Arms, Hilltop Apartments and
regular basis.
Another group of ministers
that met at First Timothy Baptist Church called for more police officers, and some
advocated a curfew. Rev. John
Guns, well-known in the community for his program, Operation Save Our Sons, joined
several other ministers at a
JSO press conference where
Sheriff John Rutherford outlined Operation PIE – Prevention, Intervention, Enforcement – that will focus on some
at-risk youth and prolific offenders. The group plans to
work with police, citizens,
other law enforcement, other
ministers and organizations,
and anyone who wants to see
crime reduced in Jacksonville.
Pastors who have agreed to
participate in this program include John Guns, St. Paul Missionary Baptist Church and
Operation Save Our Sons, NW
Jacksonville; Ardel Jones, Life
@ The River International, Arlington; Willie Singleton, An-
other Level Empowerment
Center, Westside; Jeff Johnson,

Northside; Jeffrey Rumlin,
Dayspring Baptist Church,
NW Jacksonville; Juan Walker,
Encouraging Word Church,
NW Jacksonville; Leofric
Thomas, Open Arms Christian
Fellowship, Northside.
In a more recent meeting at
the Open Arms Christian Fellowship Church, a group that
is passionate about changing
the culture of violence around
Jacksonville held “A Call for
1,000 Men.” Their focus is to
get young people in poor
neighborhoods out of the cycle
of violence. Pastor Guns said,
“We’re burying too many
sons.”
Our hats are off to these
community leaders who are
working to change lives of
young people and make our
city a safer place to live.

On the Lighter Side ...
The Outhouse
Once there was a little boy
who lived in the country. The
family had to use an outhouse, and the little boy hated
it because it was so hot in the
summer and freezing cold in
the winter and stank all the
time. The outhouse was sitting on the bank of a creek and
the boy was determined that
one day he would push that
old outhouse straight into the
creek.
One day after a spring rain
the creek was swollen so the
little boy decided today was
the day to push the outhouse
into the creek. He found a
large stick and started pushing. Finally, the outhouse toppled into the creek and floated
away.
That night his dad told him
they were going to the woodshed after supper. Knowing
that meant a spanking, the little boy asked why. The dad
replied, “Someone pushed the
outhouse into the creek
today. It was you, wasn’t it
son?”
The boy answered it
was. Then he thought a moment and said, “Dad, I read in
school today that George
Washington chopped down a
cherry tree and didn’t get into
trouble because he told the
truth.”
The dad replied, “Well,
son, George Washington’s father wasn’t in the cherry tree.”
I Didn’t Think They
Had Homework
Back Then
A young boy refused to
do his homework, and his father was trying to convince
him to do it. He said to his son,
“When Abe Lincoln was your
age, he was studying books by
the light of the fireplace.”
The son replied, “Well,
when Lincoln was your age,
he was President!”

Message Puzzle
Sally was puzzled recently
by the odd messages she kept
getting on her voice mail. Day
after day, all she’d hear, from
friends, family, and customers
alike, would be their message
and then they’d ALL say,
“BEEP.”
I had her check her voice
mail message to see if there
was a clue. She discovered the
solution to the BEEP riddle
when she dialed her own
phone number: Her message
said, “I’m not available right
now, so please leave a beep
after the message.”
