Responding to Terror
in Jacksonville
By Mayor Lenny Curry
With recent acts of terrorism across our globe, and most
recently in Orlando, cities are
building and strengthening
their efforts to protect citizens
and communities. Jacksonville
is no exception.
When it comes to acts of terrorism, planning,
vigilance and practice are integral to public safety
efforts. In April, I joined Sheriff Williams, City
Leaders and Emergency Preparedness Division
representatives in a simulated emergency exercise
to strengthen our preparations and operations
should similar acts of violence threaten our city.
These kinds of drills are important, gathering all
of the players at the table ahead of a crisis to increase collaboration, to develop a comprehensive
and coordinated plan to respond to these threats.
As local, state and federal agencies work diligently to prevent and avert threats, we must all be
vigilant in efforts to prevent heinous crimes like
these from occurring in our communities. Sheriff
Williams and I continue to ask Jacksonville citizens to be aware of their surroundings and report
any suspicious activity or behavior to JSO's nonemergency number at (904) 630-0500. People are
also encouraged to also call the I-WATCH JAX
hotline at (888)908-6368, or go online to iwatchjax.com.
Public vigilance and awareness can and does
make a difference when it comes to public safety.
Get involved with your neighborhood Sheriff’s
Advisory Council (ShAdCo), or start a neighborhood watch program for your block. Thank you
for your contributions toward making this a safer
One City. One Jacksonville.

Sex Stings and Online Predators
By Ray Tuenge, Jr.
Twenty years ago a pedophile pursuing a victim
had to work in broad daylight. In parks and playgrounds they had access to children, but they were
out in the open. They were vulnerable. Almost as
vulnerable as the children they preyed on. Now the
Internet is the playground. It has given them a
cover, a cloak to hide beneath. The anonymity of cyberspace has made them elusive targets. They are no
longer people. They are profiles and usernames.
Everybody is online and parents and law enforcement are forced to adapt. Perhaps the most effective
weapon of law enforcement nowadays is the use of
sting operations to set up pedophiles much the same
they set up their victims.
Clay County Sheriff Rick Beseler is no stranger
to sting operations. In the early 80s he honed his talent in undercover operations and became an expert
in the field. Eventually his skill caught the attention
of ABC news and Diane Sawyer. “Diane saw what
we were doing and said your quality of work is better than what we’re paying professional videographers. “They asked me if I would come work for
ABC and so I did for 7 or 8 years. I was working off
duty with ABC doing stings around the U.S.”
Working for ABC, Beseler coordinated a variety
of hidden camera stings, everything from consumer
fraud to patient billing fraud. “We did all kinds of
neat stuff. We would do things like videotaping doctors for the VA and Cleveland Clinic. We would
catch doctors starting surgery, then going out and
playing golf and letting an intern finish it. They
would bill for the whole thing,” Beseler said. “We
On Sunday, 49 innocent Americans were murdered and 53 were
wounded in a terrorist attack at an
Orlando nightclub. My heart
breaks for the victims, their families, friends and our country in the
wake of this horrific tragedy. This
senseless act of violence has left so
many people broken, with scars that will never go
away.
I awoke Sunday morning to this horrible news,
and like many of you, I prayed. Then, I headed to Orlando to meet up with my team of victim advocates
to offer grief counseling to victims and families devastated by the attack.
I joined law enforcement. Their bravery and
strength in the face of senseless and evil acts never
ceases to amaze me. Many civilians also showed great
courage, carrying injured victims away from the scene
and out of harm’s way. Paramedics, nurses and doctors went to work immediately to treat the injured
and save lives. Others answered the call by giving
blood.
did one on auto repair where we put a camera beneath the hood of a car, took out a spark plug, something that should be fixed for free, and they would
charge $500 and say something was wrong with the
engine.”
No matter the sting, the principle and set up are
almost always the same. “It usually takes 30 days to
do background – to get a location, get it wired for
audio and video, set up utilities and furniture, and
get people set up in the right place.” What sets an
underage sex sting apart from any other sting is the
draw of a child.
Predators (Continued on page 5)
We stand united in love for
the victims, their families and our
country—with a resolve to
strengthen and heal our nation.
Sometimes the very actions meant
to hurt us serve to make us
stronger.
There is no consolation for
those who lost their lives. All we have now are their
memories and the loved ones they left behind. My
victim advocates are helping the families of all 49 of
the deceased victims file victim compensation claims.
Eighty-five claims have been filed total and we remain in Orlando to help families grieve and assist
them with medical bills and funeral expenses.
Generous people worldwide are also responding,
opening their hearts and their wallets to raise millions
of dollars for the victims and families. My office is
working to make sure their generosity is honored by
checking on new accounts and websites created in the
wake of this tragedy and offering tips to help people

A message from the
Recognizing Tommy McKenzie
Justice Coalition Board
By Robert
Bracewell
Board Chairman
First and
foremost,
I
would like to
thank all of our
sponsors for
their continued support and
the support of law enforcement and the community as
we continue to focus on our
mission to serve victims of violent crime.
Next, I am deeply honored
by the trust the board has
placed in me as board chairman. Since my first encounter
with the Justice Coalition in
2006, I have felt the pain I see
in victims as they share their
devastation resulting from
crime. I have also seen the passion of the Justice Coalition
staff and victim advocates and
the great need for the services
provided by them. I will serve
in this position to the best of
my ability and will work hard
to continue the much-needed
services the Justice Coalition
provides for the victims.
Since Ted Hires founded
the organization in 1995, the
mission of helping victims of
violent crime and making
Jacksonville and surrounding
counties a safer place to live remains the same. We have a
great staff and a dedicated,
hard-working board of directors to make sure that the victims’ voices are heard. God has
blessed the Justice Coalition
with great men and women to
work in this ministry of serving victims of crime.
We are currently seeing
record numbers of people
needing our services. As crime
levels increase, so does the
need for the Justice Coalition
and the services provided, and
you can help with your monetary support, or you may
choose to seek many of the volunteer opportunities such as
helping with fundraisers,
working with our staff, or
maybe helping with the Victims’ Advocate newspaper. Visit
www.justicecoalition.org for
more information on our current events and more.
In closing, I am reminded
of one of my favorite slogans
from the Together We Can
Breakfast annually held at First
Baptist Church of Jacksonville:
Together We Can, Together We
Will make Jacksonville a safer
place to live.
By Angela Corey
State Attorney
4th Judicial Circuit
Every single one of our employees at the SAO works hard in
seeking justice for our victims in
the Fourth Judicial Circuit. But
one employee’s recent role in two cases stands
out. In fact, the prosecutor on the cases noted that
the investigator “personally made every bit of
both cases happen.” That employee is Special
Prosecution Investigator Tommy McKenzie.
In 2014-2015, Tommy personally took in and
investigated two massive and complex
fraud/theft cases. The first case involved an accountant, who over a period of seven years stole
almost $17 million from one company he worked
for. Tommy not only obtained and reviewed several CDs full of records but also got all of the subpoenas issued, met with and maintained the
confidentiality of the victim’s family, and prepared
reports and exhibits used in
the case. In the second case,
Tommy investigated complaints from two local business owners about a
bookkeeper. Once again,
Tommy put the cases toTommy McKenzie
gether and dealt with the
bank and credit company records. This bookkeeper stole nearly a million dollars.
Assistant State Attorney Rich Mantei described Tommy’s work on these two cases as “so
thorough and effective…that neither defendant so
much as took a single deposition. Both pled
guilty.” One defendant is now serving 20 years in
prison, while the other is serving 18 years in
prison. Thank you Tommy for seeking justice for
these victims and keep up the good work!

An appeal to arms and the God of hosts is all that is
left us. But we shall not fight our battle alone.
There is a just God that presides over the destinies
of nations. The battle is not of the strong alone. Is
life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at
the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it Almighty

2 • THE JUSTICE COALITION’S VICTIMS’ ADVOCATE
JULY 2016
TO PROTECT ANd SERVE
Our monthly recognition for the best of the best
Police Supervisor of the Month
Michael J. Beckmann
Lieutenant Michael Beckmann is a watch commander
on the day shift in Patrol Zone 2, which includes the Arlington area. Assistant Chief of Zone 2 Derrick Mitchell applauded Mike’s squad’s efforts for working closely with
burglary detectives to help solve residential burglary cases
in the area. His squad consistently apprehends suspects
and ensures that the property of the victim is returned to
its rightful owner. In 2015, the zone’s residential burglary
numbers were down 8.9 percent. Mitchell stated that Mike and his squad were the
major reason for this reduction.
Mike is also responsible for bringing the nationally recognized “Coffee with a
Cop” program to Jacksonville. He volunteered to bring this program to JSO and
worked with officers from Hawthorne, California, where the program started, and
with officers from other agencies that had implemented the program. He coordinated a training session in Gainesville and since then has trained fellow JSO members so the program can be successful city wide. Shortly after the training session,
he coordinated JSO’s inaugural “Coffee with a Cop” event at a McDonald’s on Atlantic Boulevard. This event was a great success allowing officers to connect with
citizens who lived in that area. It has become very popular with the public and received praise in a recent Times-Union editorial.
Sheriff Williams said, “Mike, thank you for being a role model to your peers and
for getting this “Community Focused” program off the ground. I am honored to
present you with the Police Supervisor of the Month award.”
Corrections Officer of the Month
Christopher Scarpinati
Officer Christopher Scarpinati, an Instructor at the JSO
Academy, has worked there for the past eight years. As of
February this year he has actively participated as a class
liaison for 17 recruit classes for the Department of Corrections.
For the past eight years, Chris has facilitated and led
the participation of his recruits in the “Law Enforcement
Torch Run for Special Olympics.” This event is a public
awareness campaign that raises funds to help send athletes to the Special Olympics. JSO hosted the annual event
for Duval County last month. With the help of local sponsorships, and t-shirt and
hat sales to law enforcement in the area, they raised approximately $5,000 for the
cause.
In addition to his participation in the Torch Run, Chris participated in the “Bike
Across Florida” rally sponsored by the Officer Down Memorial Page. This consisted
of raising money and cycling 180 miles across the state of Florida. All funds raised
went to the families of Fallen Officers.
Besides his job at JSO, Chris owns three franchise restaurant locations in the
area. Each year on behalf of his company he sponsors a hole at the Fraternal Order
of Police Golf Tournament.
Last, in 2015 Chris was successful in his efforts to raise money for the United
States Marine Corps’ Toys for Tots campaign. He facilitated the donation of more
than 200 individual toys to the program, as well as a cash contribution of another
$200.
Lieutenant Kevin Goff said, “Officer Scarpinati is very well deserving of this
award. He sets a great example for the Academy and his recruits. He truly exemplifies the core values of Respect for each other and Community Focused.”
Sheriff Williams said, “Chris, thank you for your hard work at the Academy
and for your dedication to this community and your fellow officers. I am honored
to present you with the Corrections Officer of the Month award.”
Police Officer of the Month
Kevin C. Jarrell
Officer Kevin Jarrell is assigned to work patrol in Zone
4, which is located on the Westside of the city. Last November, while Kevin was en route to a hit and run traffic
crash, it was determined that the driver of the suspect vehicle had an outstanding warrant for sexual battery and
false imprisonment. With information about the anticipated direction of the suspect’s vehicle, Kevin stationed
himself in that area. He located the vehicle and the suspect
was located and arrested without incident.
Also last fall, while patrolling a neighborhood on the Westside, Kevin observed
a newer model Chevrolet Camaro. A quick search showed the vehicle was stolen
several days before. A perimeter was set up and units were dispatched to wait for
the suspect to return to the stolen automobile. Ultimately the suspect fled the scene
and K-9 officers were called in to assist. The suspect was located and arrested at a
nearby residence.
In addition to these two examples, Kevin conducted numerous traffic stops in
fall of 2015 that resulted in the confiscation of various types of narcotics including
marijuana, crack cocaine and heroin. Also, in mid-January of this year, Kevin volunteered his services to a local charity known as the “Promise to Kate Foundation.”This foundation was created to help fund research for a rare form of muscular
dystrophy. One of the silent auction items at the event was for a Police Officer Ride
Along. Kevin coordinated with the foundation and he agreed to be the host officer.
His Sergeant said, “His positive attitude, communication skills and diligence
allow Officer Jarrell to be successful when pursuing crime complaints or conducting investigations. He is a dedicated professional who serves as a shining example
to all officers with whom he works every day.”
Sheriff Williams said, “Kevin, thank you for your efforts and for exemplifying
the Sheriff’s Office Core Values of “Always Improving,” “Community Focused,”
“Respect for Each Others,” and “Worthy of Trust.” Your dedication to this community does not go unnoticed. I am honored to present you with the Police Officer of
the Month award.”
Civilian Employee of the Month
Bianca D. Conner
Executive Assistant Bianca Conner is assigned to
work in the Homeland Security Division where her responsibilities include supporting Chief Ron Lendvay
and the members of the Homeland Security and Narcotics sections. In addition, she also provides assistance
to the agency’s specialty teams such as the Bomb
Squad, SWAT Team and Dive Team.
Recently Bianca completed a project for Chief Lendvay that involved creating a system to make it easier to manage vehicle information, capital improvement requests, budget forecasting and training for
employees assigned to work for the Homeland Security Division.
In addition, she executed presentations for the Chief, to audiences at City
Hall and the University of North Florida. She also plays a key role in composing and editing the division’s section of the annual report. This includes helping design the templates that are being used to organize and record the work
being conducted by the Sheriff’s Strategic Initiative. Bianca is also the admin
assigned to the Community Engagement Task Force.
Sheriff Williams said, “Bianca, thank you for going the extra mile. Your compassion and dedication to the job help make the overall mission of the JSO a
successful one. I am honored to present you with the Civilian Employee of the
Month award.”
“Lifesaving Medal”
Andy Berry, Geoffrey Dahlem, Allyn Kelly and Perry Yarber
Zone 3 Police officers Andy Berry, Geoffrey Dahlem and Perry Yarber and Detective Allyn Kelly worked patrol, which is on the Southside of the city, when the
following incident occurred. Since then Allyn has made a lateral move to the Investigations Division and is assigned to work in the Traffic Homicide Unit.
Last November, these officers were dispatched to a vehicle crash with injuries
near Old Saint Augustine Road. As Geoff and Andy arrived on scene, they noticed
a vehicle submerged in the water and two citizens trying to get two juveniles out
of the car. Without hesitation, Geoff and Andy removed their gun belts and jumped
into the retention pond. Two citizens had already removed the children from the
car; however, the driver of the vehicle, the children’s grandmother, was stuck in
the car with her seatbelt still intact. Geoff noticed that the submerged car was lying
on the driver’s side door. To gain access to the driver the men worked to get the
car off its side. Once they could get to the door Andy pried it open and used his
knife to cut the driver’s seatbelt, freeing her so they could get her out of the water
and to the side of the retention pond where Perry and Allyn were waiting to pull
her out of the water.
Also during this time, the driver was unconscious and was estimated to have
been underwater for approximately five minutes. As soon as Perry and Allyn realized that the driver was not breathing, they started administering CPR to her.
JULY 2016
Fortunately she started breathing on her own just before Rescue arrived on scene.
Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Personnel continued treatment and transported the
three victims to a local hospital for observation.
Police Sergeant Adam Haberman said, “Officers Dahlem, Berry, Yarber, and
Kelly should be commended for their decisive and lifesaving actions in this case.”
Sheriff Williams said, “Thank you for your hard work out there that day and for
your courageous actions. I am honored to present each of you with a Lifesaving
Medal.”

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 criminal 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.

THE JUSTICE COALITION’S OBJECTIVES
• To be available for innocent victims of violent crime
• To educate the general public on criminal justice issues
• To be pro-active in the fight against crime
Advertising Deadline
By Jay Howell
One of the challenges facing the criminal justice system
concerns the responsibility of
the criminal court to provide
restitution to the victims of
economic crimes. Restitution
can be for lost wages, medical
and counseling bills, damage to property, and a
variety of other economic consequences of criminal acts. Often prosecutors inform the attorney
for the accused that the prosecutor will recommend a lighter sentence if the defendant is able
to make substantial restitution. In a recent
Florida case, the sentencing judge tried to offer
the defendant a lower jail sentence if he paid a
significant amount of restitution to the victims.
Following a jury trial, the defendant was
convicted of one count of conspiracy to commit
racketeering and one count of first degree grand
theft. The charges stemmed from an elaborate
scheme to steal advance fees from victims who
sought to obtain funding for their business projects.
At the time of sentencing, the trial judge engaged in a dialogue with the defendant concerning his ability to make restitution to repay his
victims for the money which he had stolen from
them. The defendant told the judge that he might
be able to pay a lump sum up front of somewhere between $20,000 - $40,000. The secret
word is preamble. The trial judge sentenced the
defendant to 10 years in prison followed by 10
years of probation. Then the trial judge stated,
“It's going to be 10 years in Florida State Prison
followed by 10 years probation. If he makes restitution of $20,000 within 60 days, his sentence will
be mitigated - the jail time portion will be miti-

gated to eight years.”
The defendant failed to make the restitution
payment and received his sentence of 10 years.
He appealed, claiming that his sentence violated
his equal protection rights. His case went all the
way to the Florida Supreme Court. In its opinion,
the Supreme Court of Florida noted that a trial
judge may consider a defendant’s financial resources at sentencing. It is well established that
the constitution forbids imposing a longer term
of imprisonment based on a defendant's ability
to pay restitution.
Because this defendant’s sentence included
a provision that if he paid $20,000 in restitution
within 60 days of his sentencing, his 10 year
prison term would be mitigated to eight years,
the length of his prison sentence was expressly
conditioned on whether or not he paid the sum
within 60 days. Because he failed to make this
restitution payment, he received a harsher prison
sentence. The Supreme Court concluded that the
trial court sentence violated his due process
rights and stated, “While we appreciate the trial
court's desire in seeking that the victims in this
case are compensated by incentivizing the defendant to "cough up" the money, the application of
(a previous Court decision) and the due process
principles to this case compel us to conclude that
the trial court fundamentally erred in crafting
Noel's sentence.”
The Supreme Court ruled that the defendant
was entitled to a resentencing.
The case is Noel v. State, and was decided by
the Supreme Court of Florida on April 21, 2016.

Predators
– Continued from page 1
With consumer fraud or food
stamp stings, the motive is financial. With a sex sting the
motive is sexual. “In financial
stings, the whole point is deterring. With car repair or appliance stings, or food stamp
fraud, there would be an immediate drop in that behavior.” For predators, the draw
of having sex with a 12-yearold is too powerful. “The lure
is like drugs. They can’t control it. I can arrest 50 predators today and 50 tomorrow,”
said Beseler.
That drug-like addiction
combined with growing accessibility to the Internet has
created an epidemic. A recent
Pew Research Center study
shows that 92 percent of teens
aged 13 to 17 go online daily.
For the first time in history
we are seeing an entire generation that has grown up with
quick and easy web access.
Most teens graduating from
high school this year were
born in 1998 – the same year
that Google was founded.
These kids have grown up
alongside the Internet and it
has created a dynamic completely unique to their generation. For some it has become
an outlet, a place to seek belonging. A skilled predator
knows how to prey on these
vulnerabilities. “Some kids
just want someone to talk to
them. They need acceptance
and predators know how to
prey on that,” said Beseler.
In response to these disturbing trends, counties
across Florida and Georgia
have started cracking down
on sex crimes. Multiple sting
operations in 2016 have led to
dozens of arrests.
From March 30 to April 6,
multiple Florida counties participated in a crackdown
aimed at sex crimes against
children.
The seven-day
sting, dubbed Operation End
of the Road netted 12 arrests
in St. Johns County. The men
ranged in age from 21 to 60
and are facing a variety of
charges that include using a

computer to lure a child for

minor for sex.
Another sting, named
Operation Safe Parks, netted
11 arrests in Clay County.
Multiple reports of lewd behavior along the Black Creek
Bike Trail prompted the Clay
County Sheriff’s Office to set
up a sting. Investigators said
that these men were using
websites to list the trail as a
place to meet strangers and
engage in casual sex. They
also were reported to have
left condoms and drugs along
the pubic trail. Ten of the men
were arrested on charges related to lewd behavior. One
was arrested on a battery
charge.
In Brunswick, Georgia,
yet another sting named Operation Riptide led to 18 arrests. This five-day operation
required the cooperation of
18 law enforcement agencies
and prosecutors’ offices.
These men ranged in age
from 19 to 58 and are facing
or
electronic
computer
pornography and child exploitation charges.
These stings are not
small, low-key operations;
they require a lot of manpower and effort. According
to Kevin Kelshaw of the St.
Johns County Sheriff Office,
“these operations are expensive and manpower intensive. We ask other agencies to
support this burden and
when they ask us for help, we
assist however we can.”
These are highly specialized
operations. So we’ll get surrounding counties who all
contribute people,” said Beseler. Because these predators
are so skilled, catching them
requires this kind of collaborative effort. In addition,
more and more departments
are investing in their cybercrime units. “New technology
means new opportunities for
new stings,” said Beseler.
While the efficiency and
effectiveness of our police departments are impressive, the
number of predators trolling
the internet for vulnerable
children is disturbing. The
Justice Coalition will be following the development of
stings in the future and will
continue to report the
progress of our police departments as they work hard to
combat these trends.
Parents should ‘know the code’
Teens develop language for texting, social media
Joy Purdy – WJXT-CH-4 news anchor
Teens have developed their own online
language when it comes to texting and connecting on social media so they can communicate without their parents knowing what's
being said. Acronyms are used on social
media apps and text messaging, and some can
be pretty explicit and racy.
For example, WYCM stands for “Will you
call me?” PAW means “Parents are watching.”
Some may seem harmless but others are more
dangerous, like CU46 means “See you for
sex” and GNOC means “Get naked on cam.”

spoke with five Clay County teenagers,
ages 14 and 15, to find out what they know
of this private language.
"What is the average age or grade for
kids to get phones nowadays," the group
was asked.
"Seventh grade," 14-year-old Emma
said.
Of the eighth, ninth and 10th graders,
most say they were given their first cell
phone when they were about 10 years old
in order to communicate with their parents. All of their parents know there's "texting talk," but they may not realize just how
explicit the vocabulary has become.

JULY
The declaration of Independence,1776
By issuing the Declaration of Independence,
adopted by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776,
the 13 American colonies severed their political connections to Great Britain. The Declaration summarized
the colonists’ motivations for seeking independence.
By declaring themselves an independent nation, the
American colonists were able to confirm an official alliance with the Government of France and obtain
French assistance in the war against Great Britain.
Throughout the 1760s and early 1770s, the North
American colonists found themselves increasingly at
odds with British imperial policies regarding taxation and frontier policy. When repeated protests failed
to influence British policies, and instead resulted in the
closing of the port of Boston and the declaration of
martial law in Massachusetts, the colonial governments sent delegates to a Continental Congress to coordinate a colonial boycott of British goods. When
fighting broke out between American colonists and
British forces in Massachusetts, the Continental Congress worked with local groups, originally intended to
enforce the boycott, to coordinate resistance against
the British. British officials throughout the colonies increasingly found their authority challenged by informal
local governments, although loyalist sentiment remained strong in some areas.
Despite these changes, colonial leaders hoped to
reconcile with the British Government, and all but the
most radical members of Congress were unwilling to
declare independence. However, in late 1775, Benjamin Franklin, then a member of the Secret Committee of Correspondence, hinted to French agents and
other European sympathizers that the colonies were increasingly leaning towards seeking independence.
While perhaps true, Franklin also hoped to convince
the French to supply the colonists with aid. Independence would be necessary, however, before French officials would consider the possibility of an alliance.
Throughout the winter of 1775–1776, the members of the Continental Congress came to view reconciliation with Britain as unlikely, and independence
the only course of action available to them. When on
Code
December 22, 1775, the British Parliament prohibited
trade with the colonies, Congress responded in April
of 1776 by opening colonial ports—this was a major
step towards severing ties with Britain. The colonists
were aided by the January publication of Thomas
Paine’s pamphlet Common Sense, which advocated the
colonies’ independence and was widely distributed
throughout the colonies. By February of 1776, colonial
leaders were discussing the possibility of forming foreign alliances and began to draft the Model Treaty that
would serve as a basis for the 1778 alliance with
France. Leaders for the cause of independence wanted
to make certain that they had sufficient congressional
support before they would bring the issue to the vote.
On June 7, 1776, Richard Henry Lee introduced a
motion in Congress to declare independence. Other
members of Congress were amenable but thought
some colonies not quite ready. However, Congress did
form a committee to draft a declaration of independence and assigned this duty to Thomas Jefferson.
Benjamin Franklin and John Adams reviewed Jefferson’s draft. They preserved its original form, but
struck passages likely to meet with controversy or
skepticism, most notably passages blaming
King George III for the transatlantic slave trade and
those blaming the British people rather than their government. The committee presented the final draft before Congress on June 28, 1776, and Congress adopted
the final text of the Declaration of Independence on
July 4.
The British Government did its best to dismiss the
Declaration as a trivial document issued by disgruntled
colonists. British officials commissioned propagandists
to highlight the declaration’s flaws and to rebut the
colonists’ complaints. The Declaration divided British
domestic opposition, as some American sympathizers
thought the Declaration had gone too far, but in
British-ruled Ireland it had many supporters.
The Declaration’s most important diplomatic effect
was to allow for recognition of the United States by
friendly foreign governments. The Sultan of Morocco
mentioned American ships in a consular document in
1777, but Congress had to wait until the 1778 Treaty
of Alliance with France for a formal recognition of U.S.
independence. The Netherlands acknowledged U.S.
independence in 1782. Although Spain joined the war
against Great Britain in 1779, it did not recognize U.S.
independence until the 1783 Treaty of Paris. Under the
terms of the treaty, which ended the War of the American Revolution, Great Britain officially acknowledged
the United States as a sovereign and independent nation.

lieved, however, to learn their
children didn't know many of
the texting acronyms. But, this
group of teenagers was eager
to discuss something else.
"Does everybody agree
texting is the most popular?"
News4Jax asked.
"No," said the teens.
Holly, who's 15 years old, said
probably the most popular
are “Kik” and “Snapchat.” And
the teens added that connecting with friends on social
media dominates their phone
usage. But it can be dangerous, because they get approached by strangers a lot.
"I have a friend that she
has ‘Kik’ and she'll have like
30 messages from guys she
doesn't even know," said
Reece, who's 15 years old.
"The typical parent says
that his/her greatest fear is that
the child will be contacted by
a stranger online," said Brian
Housman, a parenting and
youth counselor with techsavvyparenting.com. "And it's
a well-warranted fear because
over 80 percent of teenagers
admit to having conversations
with strangers online. Of those
80 percent, 18 percent of
them set up a face-to-face
meeting in public with that
stranger."
Housman travels and
writes full time, helping equip
and encourage parents as they
raise their children, often
helping them navigate through
the technology that's captivated millennials since the
creation of smartphones and
JULY 2016
social media sites. "The average teenager now spends 9½
hours a day plugged in," he
said.
He says keeping an honest
and open relationship with
your child is key. The social
media expert has guided
scores of parents and their
children through the world of
technology.
With
two
teenagers of his own, Housman says good communication with your child will help
you keep up with the newest
and latest websites.
"One of the top five social
media apps the teenagers are
using now is called 'After
School,'" Housman said. "I've
yet to meet a single parent
who's even heard of the app.
So it just goes to show that we
think we know what’s happening but it happens so much
quicker than we can keep up
with his parents."
Every child is different,
and by just asking them, you
can learn a lot. "Parents need
to be more protective of their
girl children, because there
are a lot more male predators
out there," said 14-year-old
Dean.
And 15-year-old Holly
says getting her phone at age
10 was just too soon. Why?
"Because I wasn't mature
enough to have a cell phone,"
she said. "Because [at] just
that age, you don't know
what's going to happen."

Like after 9/11, Americans
are joining together to
strengthen and heal our country. This process will take time,

face of such terror and evil, we

AG Bondi Urges
Floridians to Prepare
for Hurricane Season
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – As
the 2016 hurricane season begins, Attorney General Pam
Bondi reminds Floridians to be
prepared and have a plan in
place should a storm make
landfall. She released her 2016
Hurricane
Preparedness
Guide with tips to prepare for
a major storm, a supply checklist, warnings of potential
storm-related scams and more.
“We cannot prevent a hurricane from hitting our state,
but we can be prepared and
help minimize the chances of
physical and financial harm,”
said AG Bondi. “Not only does
my hurricane guide provide
Floridians with an essential
supply checklist, it also highlights
scams
consumers
should watch out for before a
storm makes landfall and
when dealing with the aftermath.”
AG Bondi also activated
Florida’s price gouging hotline for consumers in multiple
Florida counties. The opening
of the hotline came when Governor Rick Scott declares
a state of emergency in 34
counties in preparation for the
impact of Tropical Storm
Colin. Florida’s price gouging
law only applies within the
area of the declared state of
emergency.
“Florida consumers need
to be diligent during this state
of emergency to ensure they
do not become victims of price
gouging,” said AG Bondi.
“Taking advantage of consumers during a declared state
of emergency is not only reprehensible, it is illegal and will
not be tolerated.”
State law prohibits extreme increases in the price of
essential commodities, such as
food, water, hotels, ice, gasoline, lumber and equipment,
needed as a direct result of an
officially declared emergency.
Anyone
who
suspects
price gouging during this declared state of emergency
should report it to the Attorney General’s Office by calling
1-866-9-NO-SCAM.
Violators of the pricegouging statute are subject to
civil penalties of $1,000 per violation and up to a total of
$25,000 for multiple violations
committed in a single 24-hour
period. In addition to the civil
penalties for price gouging,
state law criminalizes the sale
of goods and services to the
public without possession of
an occupational license. Violators of the law can be charged
with a second-degree misdemeanor.
Specifically, F.S.S. 501.160
states that during a state of
emergency, it is unlawful to
sell, lease, offer to sell, or offer
for lease essential commodities, dwelling units, or selfstorage facilities for an amount
that grossly exceeds the average price for that commodity
during the 30 days before the
declaration of the state of
emergency, unless the seller
can justifying the price by
showing increases in its prices
or market trends.
The following tips from
the guide can help consumers
protect themselves from storm
related-scams:
Be on the lookout for price
gouging. Florida law bans the
unconscionable increase in
prices in the rental or sale of
essential commodities such as
lumber, ice, water, generators
and shelter once a state of
emergency has been declared;
Proceed with caution if a
product claims to be hurricane-proof or impact-proof.
Ensure that the products
safety claims have been validated by the Florida Building
Commission or a local building authority;
Be wary of any contractor
who approaches unsolicited or
offers to perform repairs at a
discount with leftover supplies from another job. Have
the homeowner’s insurance
company evaluate any damage prior to performing repairs and verify that the
contractor is licensed with the
Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation and insured prior to
signing a contract; and
Know that numerous
charities crop up after natural
disasters. Before donating, research the charity by contacting the Florida Department of
Agriculture and Consumer
Services to determine whether
it is registered to solicit donations in Florida and what percentage of its funds goes to the
actual work of the charity.
To download a copy of the
hurricane guide online, go to

ebfiles/HurricanePreparednessGuide.pdf. Consumers
can also request a printed copy
by contacting the Citizen Services hotline at 1-866-9-NOSCAM.
Floridians who suspect a
scam or would like to report
an incident of price gouging
should call 1-866-9-NO-SCAM
or file a complaint online at
MyFloridaLegal.com.
Last month, with the help
of our federal partners, we
made the final arrests in the
largest national Medicare and
Medicaid fraud takedown in
our nation’s history. In Florida
alone, authorities arrested a
hundred individuals as part of
the coordinated investigative
efforts. These defendants are
allegedly responsible for defrauding Medicare and Medicaid out of more than $200
million. As a result of this takedown, hundreds more across
the country are also being held
accountable for almost a billion dollars in false billings to
these programs. Doctors,
nurses and other licensed
medical professionals are
among those exploiting and
stealing from these heath care
programs.
With this historic fraud
takedown, we are sending the
message to anyone scheming
to steal from our Medicaid and
Medicare programs that we
will find them and they will be
held accountable. Thanks to
the joint efforts of my Medicaid Fraud Control Unit and
our federal partners, this takedown has prevented millions
of dollars in potential future
fraud and will ensure those responsible are held to account.

Cecilia Bonham and
Alan DiMaio-Leach
By Ray Tuenge, Jr.
Since December 2014,
Cecilia Bonham and Alan
DiMaio-Leach have dedicated
countless hours to the Clay
County Sheriff’s Office. As
members of Volunteers in
Police Services (VIPS), they
have worked with the Marine
Unit, helping to keep Clay
County’s waterways safe.
Clay County Sheriff Rick
Beseler has spearheaded many
new programs during his
three-term tenure. Perhaps the
most impressive is Clay
County’s Volunteers in Police
Services (VIPS) program. This
group of over 300 citizen
volunteers donated 7,608
hours of manpower in 2015
and helped in all areas of
operation including Civil,
Detention, COPS, community
events,
Marine
Patrol,
Training, Penney Farms and
OP Mall patrols, Elder Watch,
Unforgettable Rides Antique
Car displays and more. Sheriff
Beseler states often that there
are many services his agency
simply couldn’t provide if it
weren’t for these volunteers.
About two years ago, Clay
County
began
utilizing
volunteers from its VIPS
program to assist with the
Marine Unit. The volunteers
selected were people who had
boating experience and/or
owned
a
vessel.
With
approximately 35 square miles
of waterway(s), the goal was
to utilize volunteers who
could act as eyes and ears out
on the water. Cecilia and Alan
received specialized training
for their specific patrol
function. Using their own
vessels, they patrol assigned
waterways during peak times
when high numbers of
recreational
boaters
are
expected.
The program has expanded
directly due to the dedication
of the volunteers like Cecilia
and Alan. They are authorized
to conduct requested, nonpunitive
boating
safety
inspections and have helped a
great deal with working to
educate and encourage safe
boating practices to the public.
Some of the outreach they
have been involved in
includes:
Johns
River
• St.
Celebration – This event
is a one-day volunteer
cleanup of the St. Johns
River and its major
tributaries. In addition to
the clean-up efforts, there
are various educational
booths. Celia and Alan
manned a booth last year
and educated children,
visitors
and
other
volunteers about boating
safety and the importance
of life jacket wear.

effort to assist the NSBC
in conducting a nationwide survey on life jacket
wear.
She
received
specialized
training
through NSBC to conduct
these surveys which will
provide information to
legislators, the boating
industry, and boating
safety educators nationwide about why/why not
boaters choose to wear
their life jackets.
National Boating Safety
Week – During this week,
CCSO partnered with
Wendy’s
Restaurant.
Marine volunteers handed out coupons for free
Frostys to children who
were wearing their life
Cecilia and Alan
jackets. Cecilia accompanied
Marine
Unit
Deputy Chris Castelli in
his patrol boat to hand out
the coupons.
Cecilia and Alan both
started volunteering because
of their love of the water and
their willingness to provide
support to Clay County’s
small Marine Unit. They both
enjoy informing the public
about water safety and being
out on the water while serving
their community. “I enjoy
doing it because it’s something
I’m passionate about and it’s
interesting,”
said
really
Cecilia. Alan expressed similar
feelings
adding,
“It’s
important
to
volunteer
because I feel that it’s my civic
duty.”
Because of dedicated,
hardworking volunteers like
Cecilia and Alan the creation
of the Marine Volunteer
Program has been a great
success. Chris Castelli said, “I
have been able to accomplish
so much more with their help
then I would have ever
imagined. The program has
freed much of my time to
concentrate on patrol and
labor-intensive investigations.
Our Volunteers have a wide
variety
of
backgrounds,
education and expertise that
would take years to train a
paid employee to equal.”
Thank you so much for all
of your hard work. It doesn’t
go unnoticed!
Camp Blanding Safety
Fair – Here once again,
Cecilia and Alan assisted
in manning a booth for
boater safety education for
military members and
their families. Both of
them have assisted in

On the Lighter Side ...
The Stethoscope
A nurse on the pediatric
ward, before listening to the
little ones’ chests, would plug
the stethoscope into their ears
and let them listen to their
own hearts. Their eyes would
always light up with awe. But
she never got a response to
equal four-year-old David’s.
She placed the disk over his
heart. “Listen,” she said,
“what do you suppose that
is?”
He drew his eyebrows
together in a puzzled line and
looked up, as if lost in the
mystery of the strange tap-taptapping deep in his chest.
Then his face broke out in a
wondrous grin. “Is that Jesus
knocking?” he asked.
“Here I am! I stand at the
door and knock. If anyone hears
my voice and opens the door, I
will come in and eat with him,
and he with me.” (Revelation
3:20)

Deer Hunting
A builder, pastor and
professional golfer went deer
hunting together. They were
all novices, but wanted to try
it. They had been out all day
and towards dusk they all
spotted a five-point buck at
the same time. They each took
aim and three shots were fired
at the moving target. The buck
went down, so they rushed
over to make sure it was dead.
It was, so they started to
discuss who had actually hit
it.
As they were discussing it,
a game warden happened
along and asked what the
problem was. They told him,
and he said for them to stand
back and he would try to
figure it out based on the
bullet hole and the rifles that
were being used.
After only a couple
minutes, he came to them and
said that the pastor was the
one who hit the deer. The
three wondered how he could
figure it out so fast. The
warden said the bullet went in
one ear and came out the
other.
(Author unknown - heard at
a memorial service for a local
pastor.) Received from Dan
Blomquist
Unnecessary
Roughness
A man took his wife, who
had no interest in football, to
the opening game at the local
university. The home team
was battered all over the field
by the more dominant
opponents. At one point, the
referee blew his whistle; the
was
“unnecessary
call
roughness.”
“You mean to tell me,” the
woman said to her husband,
“That all that roughness up
now
has
been
until
NECESSARY?”
