NCIC’s importance
to the SAO and you
By Angela Corey
State Attorney
There are many different divisions at the
State Attorney’s Office
(SAO) but each has a
specific role to play in
the prosecution of a case. An important
part of the team that often gets overlooked for all the hard work of the staff
is the NCIC Division. The SAO could
not function without them!
The NCIC (National Crime and Information Center) Division is responsible for running reports on all felony
cases. NCIC is a computerized database
which tracks criminal-related information across the country. The information is available to all local, state, and
federal law enforcement agencies anytime of the day or night. The NCIC database is maintained by the Criminal
Justice Information Services Division
(CJIS) of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
What you may not know is that
NCIC information is protected, which
means only certain individuals can access it. In fact, the two SAO employees assigned to the NCIC Division are
located in a secure room, which is not
accessible to other SAO employees or
the public.
Each morning, the NCIC crew receives new arrest files and then is responsible for running a check on each
of those defendants. The information
contained in an NCIC report includes
everything from details regarding a previous arrest or conviction to whether or
not a defendant owns a firearm. If the
new arrest involves a driving charge,
the NCIC Division also runs a driving
history check on that defendant.
You may be wondering why this is
so important. Well, the NCIC check can
alert us to information on a defendant
that the SAO may not know exists because it occurred outside the state of
Florida.
Once all of the criminal history is received on a defendant, the NCIC Division then highlights the critical areas,
such as an arrest or conviction of a
crime, and attaches that information to
the new arrest file. The crime related information is then passed on to the prosecutor who is assigned to the case.
The views, opinions, and positions expressed
in articles submitted by monthly and/or periodic contributors to the Victims’ Advocate
newspaper do not necessarily reflect the

Hit-and-run fatalities
What can be done to prevent them?
By Shirley Shaw
Jacksonville has seen 13 fatalities so far this year as the
result of hit-and-run accidents. According to statistics
provided by Florida law enforcement agencies, our city
ranks third in the state for hit and runs. So what is the
cause for this dubious distinction? Who are most at fault
for the accidents to begin with – careless drivers, inattentive cyclists/drivers or pedestrians? More importantly,
what prompts an individual to drive away from the
scene, often leaving the victim to die in the street? And
what can we do to change this terrible trend?
Throughout this year, much too often, we’ve seen local
media reports about yet another individual who had been
riding a bicycle or motorcycle, or walking along a roadway, being found lifeless on the ground. We’ve listened
to heartbroken family members and friends tell reporters
about their loved ones and how they will be missed in
their homes and workplaces, how promising lives have
been cut short.
On November 21 officers found 60-year-old Derrick
Chadwick, tossed into the bushes alongside San Juan Avenue near Hyde Park Road, apparently hit by a vehicle
that fled the scene. Friends and family of Chadwick, who
had worked at Judy’s Pub across the street, said he was a
wonderful man, “a good person who would give you the
shirt off his back.” Police are asking for the public’s help
in identifying the person who struck and killed him.
Robert Christmas, 35, was killed in July by an unknown
driver who hit him and a female companion. And just last
month the family of Haley Smith, remembering her death
one year ago in St. Johns County, appealed to the public
for information regarding the driver responsible.
In several cases a small child has been the victim. Last
year the Justice Coalition worked with the family of Janya
Solomon, a two-year-old who ran in front of a car in an
apartment complex street. The driver left the scene but
was located and charged with the crime. Shortly after
Janya’s death, another little girl, Tariyah Williams, was
hit by a driver who removed her from the hood of his
car, laid her on the ground and drove away. He turned
himself into authorities shortly thereafter.
There are numerous other victims, some whose cases
have been solved by an arrest, while several other hitand-run drivers remain unknown. Shane Savoy, 18, died
after being hit by a truck while he was walking to school
in Keystone Heights. Kayla Johnson, 16, pushed two
young twins from the path of a truck as the children were
waiting for a school bus. She was hospitalized with brain
damage. Albert Ives, 28, was hit by a car on June 29 as he
was changing a flat tire for two women at 3 a.m., and his
injuries cut short a promising basketball career.
Florida Highway Patrol Sgt. Dylan Bryan says the number of hit and runs is rising, caused mostly by the average
Evidence suppressed?
By Jay Howell
A recent Palm Beach
County case was about
a defendant who had
entered a Food Mart
wearing a bright yellow knit face mask carrying a black handgun.
He placed a bag resembling a lady’s
purse on the counter and demanded
money. The clerk gave the money to
the defendant, who exited the store
and headed east. A witness saw the
defendant approach the Food Mart,
pull the yellow mask over his face,
and enter the store. After the robbery,
the witness followed the suspect, getting a good look at the suspect’s face.
The police responded to the scene,
but did not find the defendant.
Six days later the defendant
entered the same Food Mart, this time
wearing a black shirt, trousers, and a
face mask. He brandished a firearm
and ordered one of the clerks to give
him the money. After the clerk filled
the bag with money, the defendant
again left in an easterly direction.
The first deputy on the scene of the
second robbery issued a BOLO and
began searching for the suspect. A
second deputy in a marked police vehicle saw the defendant, who looked
over his shoulder at least twice in
the direction of the Food Mart. There
was no one else walking in the area at
the time. The second deputy blocked
the defendant’s path with his vehicle, stepped out of the car and approached him. He announced his
presence and said, “Hey, come over
here; I’d like to talk with you.” The
defendant complied.
Hit-and-run... Continued on page 5
Upon making contact, the deputy
placed his hands on the defendant’s
chest and back, admittedly to see if
the defendant’s heartbeat was elevated or if his shirt was hot or cold. The
defendant told the deputy his cousin
drove him home to get money and
he was walking back to McDonald’s
to meet his cousin. At this point, the
deputy felt his suspicion had been
raised enough to detain the defendant. He placed him in the back of
his patrol car.
The first deputy returned to where
the defendant was being detained
and recognized him as a person he
had seen earlier. The deputy then returned to where he originally saw the
defendant and started searching the
bushes. He recovered a brown glove,
a navy blue hooded sweatshirt, a

A Bear-y Merry Christmas
with him to Pray Jax! (our
monthly prayer event held the
second Tuesday of each month
at W.W. Gay Mechanical Contractors) a young woman who
was his new assistant. Donna
Lappin presented me with a
custom-made Teddy bear she
had made as a gesture of appreciation for the work we do
in the community. Immediately a light went off in my mind
– this is what we could do for
our families!
I told Donna about Marti
Williams, the elderly woman
who was a home invasion victim, whose house had been
burned and who at the time
lived in a nursing home with
no place to go, and I asked
Donna if I could give the bear
to Ms. Williams. She understood and agreed.
From that encounter, Justice
Coalition’s Seasons to Remember became a reality. I discussed with Donna what I had
in mind – to create comforting
bears, made from clothing of
the family’s deceased (or missing) loved one, to be presented to them at Christmastime.
Considering this a ministry,
she resigned from her position
with Father Church and has
worked untiringly for many
From the Director
by Ann Dugger
Christmas is my favorite
time of year when family and
friends gather at work and at
home to exchange gifts and eat
delicious food traditional to
the holidays. Yuletide carols
convey happiness and good
cheer, and for many this is
true. But we at the Justice Coalition know all too well that
far too many families are sad
beyond measure because their
loved ones won’t be there to
share this special time.
Several years ago I accompanied May Martinez to
Tennessee for a ceremony honoring victims in that state (including her daughter Colleen
Slemmer) and was moved by
the gestures of families placing ornaments on wreaths in
memory of their loved ones. I
thought we should do something like that in Jacksonville,
but I wasn’t sure exactly what
would be meaningful and provide a long-lasting memory for
sorrowing families.
Then several months ago
Father Peter Church brought
months making more than 50
bears – which were presented
to victims’ families on Dec. 5.
(See pictures of the event on p.
12.)
To help raise money to fund
the bears’ creation I asked on
Facebook for donations from
folks willing to contribute.

the faces of the grieving family
members when they accepted
the bears – it made all the efforts worthwhile. Along with
the bears, loved ones received
a family Bible, engraved with
the victims’ names. The Bibles
were donated in part by Paxon
Book Store. Thanks so much to
Rev. Steve Dobbs and his congregation for generously providing a venue for Seasons to

this season very special for
many people and perhaps alleviated, at least in a small way,
their pain of loss.

bless you abundantly in the

To Protect and Serve
Our monthly recognition for the best of the best
Civilian Employee of the Month
Corrections Officer of the Month
Marj Austen
Scott D. Smiley
Marj Austen, a Clerical Support Aide Two (II) assigned
to the Community Transition Center, is recognized for her
work ethic and for demonstrating the Sheriff’s Office Core
Values of Always Improving and Respect for Each Other. During the past two years many work processes at the CTC have
been changed to improve productivity. Although the changes greatly impacted her daily responsibilities, Marj accepted
them and contributed her own ideas for further improvement at the facility, suggesting ways to cut out waste and improve work flow.
One example of these changes includes integrating tracking program fees and inmate classifications (such as Work Furlough, Substance Abuse Treatment and Trustee status) into an
already established program, ensuring important information can be found in one central
location. Marj also learned to use Microsoft Excel to prepare spreadsheets and create form
letters, and when inmate time cards were replaced with the CMIS system, she quickly learned
to use the program.
Marj answers many phone calls during the day, the majority of which are wrong numbers
as callers are trying to reach the city’s main line which is similar to the CTC’s phone number.
She exhibits the same courtesy to each caller, with a calm explanation – and she extends this
kindness toward her colleagues working with the trusties to maintain a clean and welcoming
environment. She will routinely decorate the employee dining room with items she purchases with her own money in an effort to create a warm and inviting break area.
Assistant Chief Robin Sisak said, “From the very beginning, it was apparent to me that
Marj was an excellent asset to our facility. Her work product impacts many of the other areas
in our facility so it is extremely important that her work is accurate and timely. Marj is very
conscientious about doing her work properly the first time so there is no need for corrections
or explanations of mistakes. When she does make a mistake, she is quick to correct it. She
learns from her mistakes and does not allow them to recur.”
Corrections Supervisor of the Month
Maurena T. Dukes
Sergeant Maurena Dukes, Compliance Sergeant at the
Montgomery Correctional Center (MCC), is recognized for
helping prepare the Department of Corrections (DOC) for
an on-site accreditation inspection and for implementing
a program that led to cost savings. She is a certified Florida
Corrections Accreditation Commissions Inspector, a Florida
Model Jail Standards Inspector and serves on its Compliance
and Code of Ethics Sub-Committees, and she also serves on
the Florida Sheriff’s Association Executive Leadership Advisory Committee. She has attended
Florida Model Jail Standards Task Force meetings at various Sheriff’s Offices in the state to
review and revise accreditation standards, and on behalf of the Florida Sheriff’s Association,
Maurena has provided technical assistance to other agencies in Florida advising them on their
inspection process.
Although preparation for inspections is a team effort, Maurena was an invaluable resource
for ensuring that the prison maintains accreditation standards. Thanks to her help, the prison
received high marks from the Florida Model Jail Standards committee in February of this year.
In March the DOC had its American Correctional Association (ACA) National Inspection – by
far the most difficult and thorough inspection of all three accrediting agencies. Not only did the
DOC and MCC pass the inspection, the inspectors were so impressed that staff members were
asked for help reviewing and developing new standards.
Maurena represents JSO across the state at various law enforcement events, such as reviewing Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office policies relating to compliance with the Prison Rape
Elimination Act. This review assisted with modifying JSO’s policy and procedure to ensure
compliance with this federal mandate. She was a team leader during the Preventing Crimes in
the Black Community Conference in Jacksonville, attended courses offered by the Florida Sheriff’s Institute that focused on Investigating Sexual Abuse in Confinement Settings and initiated
a cost-saving procedure in the prisons division.
The majority of the female population are working inmates. JSO is required to supply them
with proper work attire, some of which was not being reissued and cost the department – and
ultimately the taxpayers – more than $25,000 per year. Maurena developed a procedure to clean
and reissue most of the attire, working with the prison metal shop to construct clothing bins.
Corrections Lt. Jason Rogers said, “Being responsible for our procurement and warehouse
operations at MCC, this cost savings initiative is greatly appreciated. Although implementing
this policy created more work for her and her direct staff, Maurena recognized the opportunity
to make a positive impact on the cost of our operations.”
Police Supervisor of the Month
The officer honored this month is currently assigned to the Homeland Security Division, Tactical Narcotics Unit. Since he works undercover, his identity may not be revealed; therefore, for ease
in writing his story we’ll refer to him as Sgt. X.
Sgt. X is recognized for his leadership and dedication during joint operations focused
on combatting violent crimes. In August 2013, several related shootings in the Arlington
area prompted a Buy Bust Operation in an effort to deter drug-related violence. Sgt. X
spearheaded this operation involving two separate undercover teams used to purchase
drugs in the area – resulting in eight felony arrests and the seizure of one firearm.
In late September 2013, after five shootings in Zone 5 (Northwest Jax) Lt. Jeff White,
in charge of the Violent Crimes Task Force at that time, requested assistance from Sgt. X,
who led his team in targeting the crime locations to gather intelligence. After his detectives
made narcotics purchases at several homes, he coordinated with the SWAT team and other
Narcotics Teams to serve three search warrants simultaneously. The searches resulted in
five arrests, the recovery of four handguns and the seizure of narcotics.
Sgt. X’s team also obtained the phone number of a person who had sold drugs to
his detectives and happened to be a person of interest in the shootings. Detectives later
DECEMBER 2014
Officer Scott Smiley, assigned to the Pre-Trial Detention Facility (jail), is recognized for
removing contraband from the inmate population. On July 19 this year, Smiley was working in the property room when he received a note from an inmate saying another inmate
was in possession of a large amount of contraband, including tobacco, a cigarette lighter,
marijuana and a knife. The informant also identified an individual working as a trusty who
was allegedly supplying this contraband.
Scott immediately briefed his supervisor and received permission to assemble a team
of officers to help look into the matter. He contacted the housing area supervisors to apprise them of the situation and received their approval to conduct searches on the sixth
floor as well as on the trusty who was housed on one of the lower levels in the jail. These
searches, conducted concurrently to prevent suspicion and more importantly before word
could spread to either party, found the inmate on the sixth floor in possession of the items
described in the note. The now former trusty was found in possession of tobacco and psychotropic medications that he was planning on transporting to his work area. As a result of
Scott’s actions, both parties involved received add-on charges, disciplinary reports and an
inmate being removed from his role as a trusty. Furthermore, illegal and dangerous items
were kept out of the hands of the inmate population.
Scott’s supervisor, Corrections Sgt. Michael Potter, said, “Officer Smiley showed tremendous initiative, well beyond his time in-service, during this incident. He also went
above and beyond his assigned duties, took charge of the situation and saw it through to a
successful conclusion. Most importantly, he demonstrated how important it is to keep the
lines of communication open with the inmate population we work with on a daily basis…
This incident demonstrates that he is also an Officer the inmates respect, feel they can trust,
and an Officer who will do the right thing.”
Police Officer of the Month
Tim L. Terrell
Tim Terrell, who currently works in the Patrol and Enforcement Division DUI Unit, is honored for his hard work
and dedication resulting in several arrests earlier this year
when he worked the day shift in Zone 1, which includes the
downtown area. He was proactive in enforcing the rules of
the road in the downtown footprint. Many traffic stops he
initiated from March through June of this year led to his
identifying more serious violations. They include arrests for
27 felony traffic violations, 11 felony drug charges, and 7 felony firearm violations, which led
to the recovery of two stolen pistols and one firearm where the serial numbers were removed.
On five different occasions suspects, who stopped their vehicles when pulled over by Terrell, fled the scene on foot. Tim pursued each of them, coordinated with other officers in the
area to set up perimeters, and each individual was taken into custody without incident. In
addition to this, Tim served two felony and 21 misdemeanor warrants during these four
months. He also made 10 DUI arrests, eight other arrests, seized 31 vehicles for forfeiture,
recovered one stolen car and seized more than $4,100 in drug money.
Tim’s former supervisor, Sgt. Wesley Davison, said, “Officer Terrell, the excellence you
demonstrate daily is an example for all. You are to be commended for your dedication to duty
and service to the public. Your work has exemplified the JSO’s Core Values of Worthy of Trust,
Community Focused and Always Improving. Thank you for doing an exceptional job!”
Volunteer of the Month
James “Gunny” Gilleo
James “Gunny” Gilleo, a volunteer for more than 20
years, is honored for his ongoing commitment to our community by assisting the Crime Prevention Unit in preparing
for upcoming classes and events. He does this by gathering
and inserting the appropriate safety tips and corresponding materials into community education booklets that are
distributed by Crime Prevention Officers. This task can be
rather tedious, since one of the Unit’s most popular pieces
is the Residential Burglary booklet which requires several additional materials to be inserted
into the booklet prior to distribution. On average he assembles up to 250 booklets each week.
Sgt. Donald Wilfong said, “…’Gunny’… truly demonstrates the ideal volunteer by his
dedication and commitment to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office by serving in this capacity. He
has saved us many man hours by taking the initiative to maintain our Crime Prevention brochures.” He was previously recognized in September 2011 for his dedication to the agency.
tracked him down, arrested him and recovered a firearm that was later traced to one of
the shootings.
In October 2013, Sgt. X and his team assisted the Burglary and Gang Units with an investigation involving gang members burglarizing homes throughout Jacksonville. His detectives made drug purchases from several persons of interest at a residence in Northwest
Jacksonville, leading to a search warrant being and in December 2013 the five suspects who
sold the drugs to them were arrested.
In April of this year, several more shootings that occurred on the Northwest side of
town prompted the same plan of action and three suspects were arrested, two of which
were persons of interest in a homicide in the area. The efforts also led to the seizure of
four firearms, $8,145 and 187.4 grams of cocaine. Due to Sgt. X’s determination, these operations resulted in multiple arrests as well as the seizure of drugs, firearms, money, and
vehicles – and lots of intelligence.
Sgt. X’s supervisor said, “During several of these operations, “Sgt. X” voluntarily came
to work on his days off to ensure the success of the operation, which ultimately contributed
to the reduction of violent crime in those areas. His efforts exemplify the Sheriff’s Office
Core Values of Community Focused, Worthy of Trust and Always Improving.”

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 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 crime 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.

checkered purse, a firearm, a
yellow mask, and shoes. The
yellow mask and firearm were
tested and found to contain
the defendant’s DNA. The
witness from the first robbery
was able to positively identify
the defendant. He was then
charged with both robberies.
Prior to trial on the second robbery, the defendant
moved to suppress all the
evidence obtained as a result
of the stop. The trial court
denied the motion to suppress and the jury found the
defendant guilty of robbery
and aggravated assault with a
firearm. The court sentenced
the defendant to 15 years for
the robbery, with a 10-year
mandatory minimum for possession of a firearm, and five
consecutive years on the aggravated assault charge, with
a three-year mandatory minimum for possession of a firearm. The defendant appealed
his convictions arguing that
the encounter with the second
deputy was not consensual
because a reasonable person would have not felt free
to leave. He also argued the
second deputy did not have
reasonable suspicion that he
had been engaged in criminal
activity. Because the stop was
illegal, the defendant argued
that all the evidence found,
including the DNA evidence,
was the fruit of an illegal stop
and should be suppressed.
The appellate court agreed
with the defendant that what
started as a consensual encounter transformed into a
stop without the requisite reasonable suspicion when the
deputy placed his hands on
the defendant. The court ruled
the initial encounter with the
second deputy was consensual, but the consensual nature
of the encounter ceased when
the deputy touched the Defendant’s chest and back, admittedly to gain information
about his heart rate and temperature. The fundamental
rule is that a key characteristic
of a consensual encounter is
that the officer cannot hinder
or restrict a person’s freedom
to leave or freedom to answer
inquiries. The court concluded
that, when viewed objectively,
a reasonable person would
not feel free to leave under the
circumstances presented here.
Accordingly, the appellate reversed the denial of the motion
to suppress and remanded the
case back to the trial court for
further proceedings consistent
with their opinion.
The case is Lewis v. State of
Florida, and was decided by
the Fourth District Court of
Appeal on July 23, 2014.

citizen going about his daily
routine. He says areas most
prone to hit-and-runs include
Atlantic Boulevard, Southside
Boulevard and Beach Boulevard. In Florida, leaving the
scene of an accident involving
property damage could mean
60 days in jail; leaving an accident that results in death, 30
years behind bars.
What to do
after a crash:
* CALL law enforcement.
* REMAIN calm.
* ATTAIN vehicle, witness, and
driver information.
* SKETCH the scene, showing
vehicle crash locations.
* HELP the injured.
In October Mayor Brown,
along with Councilman Don
Redman and other city officials, announced a multiagency coalition and launched
a six-month campaign to address pedestrian and bicycle
safety in Jacksonville.
“We must all work together to improve safety on our
streets for pedestrians and bicyclists,” said Mayor Brown.
“It’s a shared responsibility, and everyone has a role.
With the combined efforts of
all stakeholders, I believe we
can make Jacksonville a place
where residents and visitors
alike feel safe walking and biking around our city.”
“The public awareness campaign will remind everyone including pedestrians, bicyclists
and automobiles, to share the
road with each other,” said
Council Member Redman. “Bicyclists should share the road
with automobiles, allowing
them to pass safely, and automobiles should respect the
rights of bicyclists to use the
road. Working together we
can make our streets safer for
everyone.”
Safe Riding Tips
Obviously, drivers should
constantly be alert for cyclists
and pedestrians, but there are
many things the latter can
do to prevent their becoming
another statistic. Following
are some safe riding tips that
might help:
* Wear a properly fitted bicycle helmet. Protect your
brain; save your life.
* Check your equipment.
What does Florida law say?
Effective July 1, 2014 - Drivers Leaving the Scene of a Crash (316.027) – “Aaron Cohen Life
Protection Act”
•Requires the driver of a vehicle involved in a crash that results in serious bodily injury to a
person to immediately stop the vehicle and remain at the scene of the crash;
•Imposes a mandatory minimum sentence, with respect to cases involving DUI and death,
by increasing the penalty for leaving the scene;
• Changes the charge for leaving the scene of a crash resulting in serious bodily injury to a
person to a 2nd degree felony, rather than a 3rd degree felony;
• Imposes a mandatory minimum term of imprisonment of 4 years for a driver convicted of
leaving the scene of a crash resulting in the death of a person;
• Increases the mandatory minimum term of imprisonment from 2 to 4 years for a driver convicted of leaving the scene of a crash resulting in the death of a person while driving under
the influence (DUI);
• Imposes a minimum driver license revocation period of at least 3 years, and driver education requirements for leaving the scene of a crash;
• If the victim is a “vulnerable road user,” offenses for leaving the scene of a crash are ranked
one level higher than specified in the Criminal Punishment Code;

Before riding, inflate tires
properly and check that
your brakes work.
* See and be seen. Whether
daytime, dawn, dusk, foul
weather, or at night, you
need to be seen by others. Wearing white has not
been shown to make you
more visible. Rather, always
wear neon, fluorescent, or
other bright colors when
riding day or night. Also
wear something that reflects
light, such as reflective tape
or markings, or flashing
lights. Remember, just because you can see a driver
doesn’t mean the driver can
see you.
* Control your bicycle. Always
ride with at least one hand
on the handlebars. Carry
books and other items in a
bicycle carrier or backpack.
* Watch for and avoid road
hazards. Be on the lookout
for potholes, broken glass,
gravel, puddles, leaves, and
dogs. All these hazards can
cause a crash. If you are riding with friends and you
are in the lead, yell out and
point to the hazard to alert
the riders behind you.
* Avoid riding at night. It is
far more dangerous to ride
at night than during the day
because you are harder for
others to see. If you have
to ride at night, wear something that makes you more
easily seen by others. Make
sure you have reflectors on
the front and rear of your
bicycle (white lights on the
front and red rear reflectors
are required by law in Florida), in addition to reflectors

* Many bicycle-related crashes
resulting in injury or death
are associated with the bicyclist’s behavior, including
such things as not wearing
a bicycle helmet, riding into
a street without stopping,
turning left or swerving into
traffic that is coming from
behind, running a stop sign,
and riding the wrong way
in traffic. To maximize your
safety, always wear a helmet
AND follow the rules of the
road.
of your bike. You need your
ears to hear traffic and avoid
dangerous situations; don’t
wear a headset when you
ride.
* Look Before Turning. When
turning left or right, always
look behind you for a break
in traffic, then signal before
making the turn. Watch for
left- or right-turning traffic.
* Watch for Parked Cars. Ride
far enough out from the curb
to avoid the unexpected
from parked cars (like doors
opening, or cars pulling out).
Rules of the Road –
bicycling on the road Below are tips and helpful
reminders for pedestrians to
make your walks both fun and
safe. Keep these tips in mind
when walking in your neighborhood, to the store, or just
across the parking lot.
* Wear reflective or brightly
colored clothing. It can be
difficult for drivers to see
someone walking along the
roadside, especially in dark
areas. Wearing bright clothing will provide more visibility and can help prevent
accidents.
* If you have a choice about
where you walk, choose a
route with sidewalks or a
shoulder to give yourself
space away from traffic.
* Walk on the side of the road
opposing traffic, if you must
walk in an area where there
is no sidewalk.
* Important things to carry
with you are water, a driver’s license or ID, and a cell
phone.
* Always look for cars before
crossing a street or stepping
off a curb.
* Use crosswalks and follow
traffic signals when crossing
at street lights
* Be predictable.
* Before stepping in front of a
car make eye contact with the
driver. Make sure the driver
sees you, plan on stopping
and have time to stop.
* You might have the right-ofway, but walk like drivers do
not know the rules.

Bicycles in many states are
considered vehicles, and cyclists have the same rights
and the same responsibilities
to follow the rules of the road
as motorists. When riding,
always:
* Go With the Traffic Flow.
Ride on the right in the same
direction as other vehicles.
Go with the flow – not
against it.
* Obey All Traffic Laws. A bicycle is a vehicle and you’re
a driver. When you ride
in the street, obey all traffic signs, signals, and lane
markings.
* Yield to Traffic When Appropriate. Almost always,
drivers on a smaller road
must yield (wait) for traffic
on a major or larger road. If
there is no stop sign or traffic signal and you are coming from a smaller roadway
(out of a driveway, from a
sidewalk, a bike path, etc.),
you must slow down and
look to see if the way is clear
before proceeding. This also
means yielding to pedestrians who have already entered a crosswalk.
* Be Predictable. Ride in a
straight line, not in and out
of cars. Signal your moves to
others.
* Stay Alert at All Times. Use
your eyes AND ears. Watch
out for potholes, cracks, wet
leaves, storm grates, railroad tracks, or anything that
could make you lose control
Walking Safety Tips
Renewing Jacksonville, one neighborhood at a time
by Mayor
Alvin Brown
Crime victims come from
every walk of
life, every race,
and every income group. But too many
crime victims come from
neighborhoods that suffer not
only from high levels of crime,
but also low levels of hope.
When even one neighborhood suffers, our whole city
is affected. To make Jacksonville a safer, better city for all
of us, we need to make Jacksonville a city where all of our
neighborhoods offer hope and
opportunity.
We are one community. We
must grow and prosper – and
be safe – as one community.
That is why I recently
launched a new initiative
founded on public-private
partnerships that will empower our neighborhoods to
improve quality of life and expand economic opportunities.
We call it Renew Jax.
Renew Jax is taking a comprehensive approach to renew
our city, one neighborhood
at a time. Our goals include
improving and expanding
housing opportunities, promoting economic opportunity
and jobs, and building family
strength and stability.
As a starting point, Renew
Jax is focusing on Northwest
Jacksonville and East Jacksonville. The City’s neighborhood
action plans have identified
these as priority areas with the
greatest needs. Over the years many promises have been made to people
living in these neighborhoods.
And many promises have been
broken. Now is the time for
action.
Initial projects include residential, commercial and infrastructure improvements along
Soutel Drive, Myrtle Avenue,
Phelps Street, Payne Avenue,
Avenue B, U.S. 1 and in the
Robinson’s
Addition
and
Newtown communities.
We want to see quality
affordable homes for families
instead of empty lots and dilapidated houses. We want to
see attractive storefronts instead of boarded-up buildings.
And we want to see safe, clean
streets and sidewalks that
don’t flood when it rains.
An essential partner is LISC
Jacksonville, the local affiliate
of the nation’s largest community development support
organization. The secret word
is merriment. It has committed
$20 million in neighborhood
investments as a partner with
the City.
Together with our city’s
vibrant nonprofit community development corporations, LISC will ensure these
investments achieve their full
potential.
The City will make its share
of investments, thanks mostly
to funding from federal and
state partners, including the
U.S. Department of Housing
and Urban Development.
Leveraging these private
and public resources when
budgets are tight is crucial. To
gain the strongest return on
investment, it takes all of us
working together.
Renew Jax is about investing
in opportunity and hope for
our entire community. It won’t
happen overnight. But we can
do it. Together we can renew
Jacksonville, one neighborhood at a time.

to me, ‘Mom, this is a great dinner!’ And so I replied, ‘Thanks, Ty.
I’m glad you like it.’ Then he asked, ‘Did you
cook it from scratch?’ I told him yes and he said,
‘I didn’t know you could cook like this all by
yourself!’”

“My Mom and I took my children out to eat
pie at the local cafe. My son, who loves berry
pies, asked for boysenberry pie. My daughter Keny (then four), not wishing to be left
out of something special, asked the waitress if
she could have ‘girlsinberry’ pie. We all got a
good laugh (except my daughter who didn’t
understand what was funny), and
the waitress brought her a
slice of banana cream instead. My daughter has
heard this story every
Thanksgiving since
(she’s now nine),
and now she’s in
on the laughing.”
“We live in
Miami.
’Feliz
Navidad’ is a
popular
carol
here, and one of
the first that my
daughter learned.
Her version: ‘I want
to wish you a Merry
Christmas (sung three
times), from my bottom
and my heart’ (Real lyrics:
from the bottom of my heart).”
“We were discussing holiday dinner plans
and I asked my mom if I could borrow her
gravy boat because I didn’t own one. My husband said we should go buy one. My son Jacob,
age six, asked wide-eyed, ‘Can I ride in the new
boat, too?’”

Christmas is a special time of year
for people all around the world.
Many in our country may barely be
beyond Thanksgiving before pulling
out a box of cherished memories to
hang on lighted trees or display on
mantles in anticipation of new memories to come. Some will review each
decoration and weep over little ones
now grown or loved ones gone before. Harder still, some will mourn
a loved one who is missing or senselessly taken by violence.
One local woman has a unique way
of offering a bit of comfort for such
families in these difficult times of
life. Hats Off! this month is to Donna
Lappin, owner of Comforting Bears, a
little business of love based out of her
home. Donna has partnered with Justice Coalition on behalf of these families to create her heartfelt gifts for us
to share at our inaugural Christmas
event, Seasons to Remember.
Many families JC has worked with
in the past year – as well as in years
past – have brought in articles of
clothing and Donna has transformed
them into soft, cuddly teddy bears
to be presented at this special event
as a way of offering comfort to those
deeply affected by the tragedy of
crime.
No stranger to life’s heartaches,
Donna has overcome much in her
own life and is thankful for the blessings and joy she feels today. She said
it seems to her like very little to offer
people who are hurting so much, but
she knows what comfort the bear
made from a dress her mother wore
to her wedding has meant to her.
“People don’t hug a dress, but they
will hug the bear,” she said. “I love
using a talent I have to touch lives.”
Donna’s mother taught her to sew
as a little girl. She started out making clothes for her Barbie dolls and
moved to making clothes for her children when she had her own family.
She even taught her son, Jonathan, a
36-year-old father in the Navy, and
her 34-year-old daughter, Kathryn,
mother of two, to sew when they
were little. Jonathan may be the only
man in the Navy who brings his own
sewing machine on the ship! And
now she is teaching her grandchildren to sew.
Making teddy bears had been her
mother’s hobby and passion. She had
made them for children in hospitals,
fire and police departments, as well as
the Meals on Wheels program in her
hometown of San Diego, Calif. She
gave them out as birthday gifts and
for special occasions. She believed
her special brand of teddy bears was
a sure cure for any ailment. When
she died, Donna’s heart was broken.
She decided to make a bear from her
mother’s clothing, but didn’t have
the pattern and wasn’t sure how; she
had never made one. She cried many
tears wishing her mother was there to
teach her.
One day when she and her sister
were organizing her mother’s belongings, she found some plastic pieces
Donna Lappin, maker of Comforting Bears
that resembled pieces of the special
teddy bears. Through many more
tears, she began her own teddy bear
adventure. She used the pattern to
make a bear, but it was much harder
than she realized. After several disappointing attempts, she had a finished product and felt much closer to
her mother. Not only had she made
something from her mother’s clothing
that she could hold in her arms, but
she kept her alive in the world as she
picked up her legacy. Taking that legacy a step further, Donna used clothing and blankets or other items of the
loved ones who had either grown up
or passed away to make the bears.
Throughout her professional career, Donna was a legal secretary
and paralegal for different law firms
here in Jacksonville. After making the
comforting bears for her associates,
friends, and family in her spare time,
Donna secured a website and license,
starting her own business. She wondered if it was something she could
actually make a living doing.
For seven years Donna was a single woman with no intention of ever
marrying again. But God had other
plans. He brought Michael Nicho into
her life two years ago and showed her
what love truly is. Miguel (the family
name for him) is very supportive of
her and encourages her to follow her
heart. Now retired and making her
bears full time, she laughs that her
home has become a teddy bear factory, but he endures with patience and
love, knowing her gift to the world is
making a difference.
Her website brings orders from all
over the country and she has received
sweet responses, great reviews, and
many thanks for her work. When she
met JC Exec. Director Ann Dugger
this summer, she became busier making bears than she could imagine. She
is now making a teddy bear a day.
The best part of this story, to me, is
how she makes the bears for the families we assist.
It is a very sacred thing to Donna to
hold the clothing of a murdered child
or parent and to be entrusted with it
to create something that will in turn
bless the family and lighten the load
somehow. With each article of clothing she receives, she takes time to
learn each person’s story. Then she
prays before she begins cutting it into
patterns. She often holds the clothes
close in an embrace and even weeps
over the family’s loss. But joy comes
when she is finished designing, cutting and sewing, then turns the fabric
right-side-out, seeing the bear face-toface for the first time.
“It hurts my heart to know the pain
occurring in each family,” she said. “I
am so sorry for the suffering. I pray
God uses me to help just a little.”
We have seen firsthand the difference her comforting bears make when
a mother recently first laid eyes on the
bear made from her murdered son’s
favorite tee shirt. She shed tears of
both sadness and joy as she hugged
her bear close over and over.
To some, a bear might not seem like
much, but made with love, prayer,
tears and familiar fabric, the bear
can aid the healing process for many.
Thank you, Donna, for your amazing
heart and talent. God bless you as you
continue to make a difference.

presentation in this edition of the VA.

HOLIDAY SAFETY TIPS
FROM THE
JACKSONVILLE SHERIFF’S OFFICE
• Shop with friends or relatives if possible; there IS
safety in numbers.
• As you shop, be alert in
crowded places. Among
pickpockets’ favorites are
revolving doors, jammed
aisles, elevators, and public transportation stops and
vehicles, especially at rush
hour. Carry the day’s most
expensive purchases closest
to your body, and don’t carry
so much you lose the ability
to react quickly.
• Using debit or credit cards
is much safer than carrying a lot of cash. If the vendors you will visit don’t take
cards, consider obtaining
traveler’s checks which, unlike cash, can be replaced if
lost or stolen. Visit ATMs
only at well-lighted and populated locations; visit during
daylight hours if possible.
• Using a drive-up ATM is

• If anyone is loitering, or you
don’t like their looks, go to
another ATM. Stand so that
those behind you cannot
see your PIN as you enter it;
your PIN should NEVER be
written down on or carried
with your ATM card.
• Be observant. Avoid dark areas, short-cuts, cul-de-sacs,

• Be prepared to flee potential
problems. If apprehensive
about any location for any
reason, leave. Consider carrying a whistle. Keep a fin-

• If possible, leave your children with a baby-sitter
while you are shopping. For
holiday shopping, consider
making arrangements with
family or friends/neighbors,
and take turns baby-sitting.
If you take your children
with you, keep a close eye on
them while shopping.
Holiday Party Safety
•Use safe party guidelines
when hosting an adult party.
If alcohol is served, collect
keys from individuals who
are drinking or make sure
there is a designated driver
to take them home. Make
sure no one under the age of
21 is allowed to drink.
• Adults hosting parties should
remind guests that the party
is invitation-only, and illegal
substances are NOT welcome!
•Adults attending parties
should never accept a drink
from someone they don’t
know, and should never
leave their drink unattended.
•If attending a party alone,
make sure to tell someone
where you are going and
when you will be back (including adults).
•Remain vigilant and stay
with a friend at all times.
• Don’t offer rides to strangers! If someone is under the
influence, call them a cab instead.
•Teens
attending
parties
should be reminded to say
“no” to drugs and alcohol,
and to never get in the car
