By Mayor Lenny Curry
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.,
once said, “Our lives end the day
we become silent about the things
that matter.” We cannot afford to
be silent when it comes to the
issue of violent crime in Jacksonville. We cannot be silent when
an innocent two-year-old and
three others are wounded in a hail of gunfire on
Christmas Day.
When I took the oath of office last summer with
my wife Molly and three kids beside me, I pledged
to provide support and resources that bring the
same educational opportunities, neighborhood conditions, and community safety offerings that our
family expects to all of Jacksonville. While our staggering pension debt has significantly hampered our
investment levels in these services, I have made it
very clear with my budget and my efforts that public safety is my greatest priority. Simply put, for our
communities to thrive, our communities must be
safe.
Over the past six months, I’ve worked very
closely with Sheriff Mike Williams on key initiatives
and efforts to reduce violent crime throughout our
city. In my very first budget as mayor, I allocated
specific funds that resulted in the hiring of 40 new
police officers – additional resources to support the
efforts for safer communities. These funds also allowed JSO to re-instate its Community Service Officer program, adding 40 new community officers
to serve and support citizen needs.
While adding law enforcement officers to city
streets is helpful, it’s not complete. The sheriff and I
both agree that we can’t police ourselves out of violence. To truly solve crime, we must also focus on
the causes of crime – not only with robust intervention programs, which we have, but with significant
investments in prevention efforts.
There’s tremendous evidence and national research that speak to the power of prevention. We
don’t have to look very far. In 2011, Jacksonville’s
murder totals were as low as they were in the 1970s.
The conditions of our city just five years ago were
greatly influenced by the Jacksonville Journey, a
program launched by then-Mayor John Peyton to
address escalating violence in many of our most
vulnerable communities, being committed by our
most vulnerable citizens – youth. I am delighted
that the Journey continues. I’ve relaunched the program with a 100 percent increase in funding – a $5
million investment in organizations, programs, and
offerings that create more promising futures for tomorrow’s leaders.
Next month I will begin a new series of Community Conversations focused on public safety. I am
inviting everyone to attend on Thursday, Feb. 11, at
6 p.m. in the auditorium of FSCJ’s North Campus,
4501 Capper Road. Sheriff Williams, Superintendent
Nikolai Vitti, and State Attorney Angela Corey will
join us to explore “Our Future: Addressing Youth
Violence in our Community.” Please attend to add
your voice to this important dialogue. Learn more

The High Cost of Overturned
Prison Sentences
Families re-live
heartache; taxpayers
dole out dollars
By Shirley Shaw
About two years ago a woman came to the Justice
Coalition, asking to speak to a victim advocate about
a letter her family had just received from the office of
Florida’s Attorney General. The letter, which shocked
and dismayed the family, read:
This is to inform you that Judge Jean Johnson has made
a ruling in the above case (Jacob Dougan v. State of Florida).
I am sorry to inform you that Judge Johnson has ordered
that the defendant’s death conviction and sentence be vacated and that he have a new trial and penalty phase.
JoAnn Orlando couldn’t believe that after nearly
40 years the family would have to deal with and relive the events of her brother’s death. She recounted
the events of that long-ago day when Stephen Anthony Orlando was brutally murdered and dumped
in a trash heap:
“My father was getting remarried in New Jersey
and I attended the wedding, but my brother did not.
The day after the wedding (Father’s Day 1974) we got
a call saying my brother was dead. He was found shot
two times in the head and stabbed, and a note was on
his body saying he was killed because he was a ‘white
devil’ and that the BLA was going to start a race war.”
She says, “My father, his new bride, my sister and
I returned to Jacksonville Beach [where we received]
almost daily phone calls from the BLA. Tapes describing the murder were sent to our homes, threats were
WASHINGTON - In a major
decision, the U.S. Supreme Court on
Tuesday [Jan 12] found that Florida's
death-penalty sentencing system is
unconstitutional. The case focused on
the role of juries in recommending
whether defendants should receive the
death penalty.
The justices ruled 8-1 that the
state's sentencing procedure is flawed
because juries play only an advisory
role in recommending death while the
judge can reach a different decision.
“We are still digesting the
opinion," Florida Attorney General
Pam Bondi said in a statement Tuesday
morning. "We've been working on it to
see what's needed for a fix."

Larry Hannan detailed events of that long-ago day.

Direct Criminal Contempt
By Jay Howell
Many people are aware that
the trial court judge has the authority to hold an individual in
contempt of the court. Contempt
of court is any act which is calculated to embarrass, hinder, or obstruct
the
court
in
its
administration of justice, or which is calculated to
lessen its authority or its dignity. In a recent Santa
Rosa County case, the issue of the judge’s authority
to find an individual in direct criminal contempt of
court came into question.
The appellant, a criminal defense attorney, finished a volunteer activity in the morning on the day
in question and believed she was off work for the day.
However, in the early afternoon she learned that one
of her clients had a plea hearing in criminal court that
day and she attended the hearing. During the plea
proceeding, the trial judge asked the attorney and the
prosecutor to approach the bench. The judge informed them that he had been told by two court employees that the appellant smelled like alcohol. The
judge asked her if she had been drinking and she responded that she drank at lunch, but was not impaired. The judge asked her to take a breathalyzer
test, to which she submitted.
After the appellant returned from the test, the
trial judge resumed the criminal hearing and told
those in the courtroom what had just transpired. The
results of the breathalyzer were .082, .087, and .076
grams/100 milliliters BAL. The judge stated the attorney would not be permitted to represent the defendant. The judge then ordered her to be held in the
county jail until she blew less than .08 g/100 ml. The
bailiff informed the judge that if the appellant was

Remembering Little Lonzie
By Ann Dugger, Executive Director
Justice Coalition
When we hear on
the news about yet another murder or missing
person, we are horrified,
or saddened, or outraged
– reactions depending on
the circumstances – but
when a child is missing or
murdered, our emotions
are much more intense. I
remember back in 1998
when authorities and volunteers searched for
missing 8-year-old Maddie Clifton, and we
were sickened when her body was found several days later stuffed beneath the mattress of
a teenage neighbor boy. Then after Somer
Thompson went missing and was soon found
in a Georgia landfill, all of us reacted with
horror at the terrible death of this little 7-yearold girl. More recently, Cherish Perrywinkle’s
tragic assault and murder again brought
united outrage from the entire community.
Now there is little Lonzie Barton, a darling blue-eyed toddler who was reported
missing last July, his remains located when
the (alleged) murderer led investigators to a
secluded Southside property where people
sometimes dump their trash. We’ve heard
daily reports about the search for the child,
about the arrests and court proceedings involving his parents and caregivers, and once
again the community came together to ex-
press its collective grief and support.
The wooded area in Bayard where
Ruben Ebron disposed of the child who had
been left in his care is near the Julington Baptist Church, so it was a convenient place for
the initial press conference regarding the discovery to be held.
Then the church
pastor, Rev. Nat
McClain – a retired JSO officer
and pilot who had
participated in the
search for Lonzie
– offered his beautiful facility when
we needed a
venue to hold a
Remembrance
Vigil. He, his staff
and
members
were wonderful
as we all hurriedly worked to pull together an event honoring this precious little life.
The Remembrance Vigil for Lonzie Barton was announced by the media, streamed
live on News4Jax, and folks began to arrive
two or three hours before the 6 p.m. starting
time. Many stopped by a growing memorial
site near the church to leave flowers, stuffed
animals or other symbols of love, and others
brought long-stemmed flowers that would go
into a bouquet in the church. The 350-seat au-

FEBRUARY 2016
TO PROTeCT AND SeRVe
Our monthly recognition for the best of the best
Police Supervisor of the Month
Bryan D. Goebel
Corrections Supervisor of the Month
Police Sergeant Bryan Goebel, Patrol & Enforcement
Division/Zone 2, received recognition for his attention
to detail that led to the apprehension of two violent
felons. On Sunday, August 30, 2015, Sergeant Goebel was
patrolling the 1000 block of University Blvd. North when
he spotted a vehicle similar to one that had been reported
stolen a couple days prior and used in an attempted uttering of counterfeit money in Atlantic Beach.
Goebel relayed the information to other units and requested assistance after confirming the vehicle in question was the stolen vehicle.
Ultimately the suspect stopped the stolen vehicle behind a marked police car at a
red light. At this time officers blocked in the vehicle and stopped the driver. The
driver exited the car and fled the scene on foot while Patrol secured the three occupants in the car.
Sergeant Goebel pursued the driver on foot and the driver was taken into custody. The suspect, a convicted felon who was found in possession of drugs, counterfeit bills and templates, as well was a firearm, has been involved in several
pending cases and is being looked at by a federal agency. One passenger was also
arrested on outstanding warrants.
Police Lieutenant Keith Clement said, “Sergeant Goebel is being commended
because of his professionalism, determination, sagacity, commitment to the citizens he chose to serve, dedication to duty, and the ability to manage and direct
resources during a high stress incident.”
Police Officer of the Month
Undercover Detective
This undercover detective who works in the Homeland Security Division / Narcotics Unit earned this
award for his exemplary work during a long-term narcotics investigation that resulted in the implication of
more than 30 suspects.
After receiving a complaint in reference to narcotics
activity involving college-age individuals, the honoree
and another detective developed and deployed a plan
that took place in early 2015. The operation lasted approximately ten weeks, led to several locations throughout the city and yielded
more than 100 transactions of various types of narcotics.
The honoree’s supervisor, who also works in an undercover capacity, said this
about his employee: “…exhibited extraordinary dedication to the community and
the Sheriff’s office. He worked around the clock and many times came to work
on his days off to ensure that the investigation was being properly handled.”
Richard W. Long
Corrections Sergeant Richard Long, Prisons Division /
Montgomery Correctional Center,
is recognized for his dedicated work in organizing and
launching several innovative programs at the prison. One
program he has started is an inmate K-9 training program
called “A New Leash on Life.” Through this program inmates are taught how to train dogs using positive reinforcement techniques. MCC partners with local organizations to
provide the shelter dogs with basic obedience skills to increase their chance of being adopted and finding their “fur-ever-home” at the completion of the program.
This program not only benefits the dogs, but inmates as well; training the dogs
has shown to improve the mental health of the inmates and reduce discipline issues.
The inmates also learn valuable life skills including teamwork, responsibility, patience
and job skills relating to canine care and training.
A second program that Long started and oversees is the Sheriff’s Office alterations
needs that are handled at the prison by inmates. As of August 2015, more than 6,750
garment alterations had been completed at the prison, which is estimated to save JSO
more than $32,000 a year in alterations expenses. Through this program the inmates
are learning valuable skills that can translate into employment opportunities upon
release.
Corrections Lieutenant Jason Rogers said, “As Sgt. Long’s direct supervisor, I
could not have a better leader in place to implement and manage several unique and
challenging programs. While completing these additional duties, Rick does not allow
his primary responsibilities to suffer. He shares a passion for stepping outside of the
box and finding unconventional solutions to benefit our mission.”
Corrections Officer of the Month
Vickie W. Jackson
Corrections Officer Vickie Jackson, who works in the
Prisons Division / Community Transition Center, was recognized for her hard work, overall approach to her job and
for assisting a citizen in distress in June 2015.
On Wednesday, June 3, while assigned as the Officerin-Charge of the intake area at the Community Transition
Center (CTC), Officer Jackson received a call regarding an
unauthorized vehicle entering the staff parking lot. She responded to the scene and learned that the vehicle had just
struck a dumpster and was about to hit a staff member’s
parked vehicle as well. She gave a loud verbal command to stop the car and the
driver complied. Patrol officers arrived at the scene and determined that the driver
was not intoxicated, but suffering from a serious medical condition requiring immediate care.
Civilian Employee of the Month
Heather D. Fletcher
(Sergeant Fletcher received this award for her work as a Police Emergency Communications Officer)
Police Emergency Communications Sergeant Heather
Fletcher is recognized for her work during the search for
missing toddler, Lonzie Barton, in the summer of 2015. She
is a member of the Telecommunicator Emergency Response Team (TERT) and in July 2015 she was asked to utilize her dispatch knowledge and experience while
working in the Command Post during the search for the missing toddler. Fletcher
adjusted her schedule with very little notice to help accommodate the needs of the
Command Post, while keeping her commitment to the Communications Center.
Police Emergency Communications Sergeant Brittany Van Gorder stated,
“PECO Fletcher embodies the core value of Community Focused and helps the Communications Center achieve its mission of ‘locate, protect, and apprehend’ every
day.”

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.

booked into the county jail, she would be required to stay a minimum of 8 hours. The court
scheduled a direct criminal contempt hearing
for the following Monday.
The attorney moved to dismiss the contempt charge on the ground that direct criminal
contempt requires that an intentional act be
committed in the presence of the court, and that
this requirement was not met in this case. At the
hearing on the motion, two witnesses testified
that they had seen the attorney immediately
prior to the hearing on the day in question and
neither had smelled any alcohol on the attorney
nor did the attorney seem impaired in any way.
After hearing argument, the trial judge found
that the attorney’s decision to come to court despite drinking at lunch was an intentional act
that provided the grounds for a direct criminal
contempt charge. The trial judge found the attorney guilty of direct criminal contempt and
sentenced her to a suspended sentence of 5
months 29 days in the county jail with 6 months
of probation.
The attorney appealed the judge’s sentence,
arguing that the trial court judge had abused his
authority. The appellate court ruled that the trial
court judge did abuse his discretion when he requested that the attorney take a breathalyzer
test and then detained the attorney after receiving the results. The trial court’s authority did
not extend to ordering a breathalyzer when
there is no lawful arrest or probable cause that
a crime had been committed. In addition, the
appellate court found that the trial court judge
placed the attorney in protective custody without any lawful authority. Both of these actions
were improper and violations of due process.
Citing provisions of the Florida Statutes that
apply if criminal penalties are to be imposed in
cases of driving under the influence, the court
pointed out there was no lawful arrest nor was
there any probable cause to believe a crime had
been committed.
After receiving the results of the breathalyzer test, the trial judge placed the attorney in
“protective custody” until subsequent breathalyzer results showed she was under the legal
limit. The court ruled that while judges do have
the authority to hold a person in custody or to
arrest a person, here the judge placed her in
“protective custody.” Because there was no evidence that the attorney was substance-abuse impaired and as a result had lost the power of
self-control and had either inflicted or threatened physical harm on herself or another person, the trial judge abused his discretion in
ordering her to be held in protective custody.
The judgment of contempt was reversed.
This case was decided by the First District
Court of Appeal on December 28, 2015, and can
be found in legal publications with the identifier
LEXIS 19351.

out to kill a white person to
protest racial inequality in the
Jacksonville area. Stephen Orlando had been hitchhiking
home from his job because his
car wasn’t working when he
was picked up by the group.
“His body was found on a
dirt road at a trash dump in St.
Johns County that is now part
of Marsh Landing Country
Club. The Jacksonville Beach
18-year-old was stabbed 12
times in the chest, stomach
and back, and then Dougan
placed his foot on Orlando’s
neck and fired two bullets into
his head.
“Dougan and his followers also sent tape recordings to
[Orlando’s mother Marian]
Mallory and media outlets describing how Orlando begged
for his life. ‘You should be
proud your son was the first to
die for our black cause,’ the
tape to the mother said, according to news reports at the
time.”
This vicious killer was
tried, found guilty and sentenced to death by Judge R.
Hudson Olliff, but the Florida
Supreme Court threw out the
death sentence twice and ordered him resentenced – first
in 1978 because Dougan
hadn’t had a chance to review
his pre-sentencing report, and
again in 1984 because justices
said the state was wrong to tell
the original jury about a subsequent similar murder when
Dougan wasn’t on trial for
that crime. Also factoring into
the scenario was that his attorney was having an affair with
Dougan’s sister at the time.
Justice Coalition Victim
Advocate Lysa Telzer will accompany Ms. Orlando to Tallahassee this month where the
case will be heard before the
Florida Supreme Court. Hopefully, a decision at this time
will finally settle the case.
Recently another murderer’s life sentence was overturned, which has enraged the
family and friends of Jacksonville Beach firefighter Mike
McCue. Charles Pearce was
fighting with his stepfather in
2011 when he fired his gun
and a bullet hit and killed
McCue as he stood in his
driveway. The First District
Court of Appeal ruled that
“the trial court erred in refusing to let defense counsel
show the jury part of a videotaped interview the police
conducted the day after
[Pearce’s] arrest.”
These cases are just two of
many in which Justice Coalition victim advocates have
supported victims’ families
who must endure the ordeal of
retrials. In a May 2015 Victims'
Advocate article we told how
Lynette Roebuck believed she
was being “punked” when informed by a reporter that the
murder conviction of Frederick Wade had been overturned. He had killed her
daughter, Kalil McCoy, because she rolled down a window in the car, and dumped
her body at a relative’s daycare facility. The 1st District
Court of Appeal cited faulty
jury instructions (the judge

Other overthrown sentences
• An appeals court threw out the conviction for Theodist Richardson, who was sentenced to
life plus 190 years for the murders of two people and shooting of a 13-month-old child at
an apartment complex in August 2011. Richardson appealed the convictions, saying the
jury was improperly instructed and given conflicting instructions about the self-defense
case.
• The Florida Supreme Court unanimously tossed out the death sentence of Michael
Shellito, convicted in the 1994 shooting death of 18-year-old Sean Hathorne, because his
attorney failed to properly raise issues about the defendant’s mental-health problems.
• The Court also cited mental health issues in its decision to convert Ralston Davis’s death
sentence to life for killing three people in a crack cocaine rage. The high court ruled that
Davis did not act in a “cold, calculated and premeditated manner” when he ordered his
victim to her knees and fired 23 bullets from an AR-15 assault rifle into her body.
• The Court overturned the death penalty for Michael Yacob and ordered him re-sentenced
to life in prison for the first-degree murder of Moussa Maida, a 19-year-old convenience
store clerk in Arlington. Judge Adrian Soud said the death penalty applied because a
security video showed the robbery and murder: “This is not a case of a robbery gone
bad,” he said. “This is not a case of things going out of control. This is the case of a man
who made a conscious decision to end the life of a 19-year-old boy.” The Supreme Court
disagreed.
• In December 2008 Leo Kaczmar III stabbed his father’s girlfriend, Mary Ruiz, more than
90 times then set the house on fire. After his arrest he paid an undercover officer $300 to
intimidate witnesses. He was convicted and sentenced to death row, but on appeal the

IMPACT: Pledge for Life and Responsibility
By State Attorney
Angela Corey
Our team at the State Attorney’s
Office works hard every single day to
help crime victims in our community!
In working with these victims, we see
daily how crime can impact a person’s life. In some cases, however, that impact hits
close to home.
I would like to share with you the story of our
Victim Advocate Carl Harms. In 2007, Carl received
tragic news that his father, James Harms, was hit and
killed by two separate drunk drivers. It was difficult
for him to learn the details of that fatal crash and see
pictures of the crime scene, but it wasn’t until Carl
came face-to-face with his father’s wrecked car that
the reality of what happened really hit him. Carl told
me that moment is something that will always stay
with him. The sight of his father’s mangled car was
an image he will never forget and something that
will impact him for the rest of his life. In that moment Carl knew he was going to use the tragic experience in a positive way.
In 2014, Carl started an educational awareness
program called IMPACT! #RestoreResponsibility.
IMPACT is a program that brings a true-life crime
scene to the public, all while sharing a story of life,
death and responsibility. There are several different
displays and interactive activities that help make this
program both memorable and informative.
Carl brings people of all ages together to hear
from those whose lives have been affected by crime.
One of the activities Carl has developed is the eyeopening experience of the Fatal Vision goggles. The
participant is asked to wear the goggles, which simulate impairment. Carl then asks the participants to
perform simple exercises, such as walking along a
straight line. This activity shows people just how
skewed one’s judgment is when impaired.
The centerpiece of the program is the car crash
display. The display gives viewers a close look at a
wrecked vehicle that a young girl was driving when
she was fatally hit by a drunk driver. They also hear
from the victim’s mother as she shares her daughter’s story and how that driver’s irresponsible decision cost her daughter’s life. Carl says hearing her
story and seeing the car in the same condition it was
on the day of the accident is a moment of impact. It
leaves a lasting impression with all those who experience it.
Carl also encourages everyone to take IMPACT’s
“Pledge for Life and Responsibility,” promising to
teach and take responsibility for their actions every

single day. All who pledge receive a “promise band”
to wear on their wrist, which serves as a reminder of
the importance of making responsible decisions.
So far, more than 600 people have made the IMPACT pledge, and that number continues to grow!
Carl says he has seen the positive impact of this program and he wants to continue to expand the program and get the message out to more people,
especially youth. I am so proud of Carl’s commitment to educate young men and women in our community! Keep up the good work!

Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office
Sheriff's Advisory Council (ShAdCo)
What is ShAdCo?
ShAdCo demonstrates a partnership between law enforcement and the community. It illustrates Jacksonville's commitment to community policing. ShAdCo serves as an information exchange between citizens and the police. Regularly scheduled meetings give citizens an opportunity
to communicate directly with command staff and police officers on issues of importance to their
communities. How Does ShAdCo work?
The City of Jacksonville is divided into six police zones. Each zone has a substation that provides
basic police services for members of the surrounding community. Each zone is subdivided into sectors. Each sector has a ShAdCo that is composed of law enforcement officers and citizens from that
area. Each ShAdCo has an elected chairperson to manage the program. The zone commanders work
actively with the councils, but do not chair the meetings. The groups meet once a month to discuss
issues pertaining to their area of the city and to plan solutions. Topics of discussion can include but
are not limited to eliminating drug houses, traffic issues, home security, and community education.
Use the map to determine which zone you reside in. The secret word is ShAdCo. Go to the

By Shirley Shaw
For many years Justice
Coalition Victim Advocates
have relied on Assistant State
Attorney John Guy (and his
fellow prosecutors) to efficiently and successfully bring
to justice criminals, who violently take the lives of innocent victims. We’ve always
been confident he would provide comfort and reassurance
to grieving families as he
sought appropriate punishment for the heinous crimes
that devastated their lives.
John is continuing to seek
judgment for criminals, but
since the beginning of 2016
his role has changed. He has
been appointed by Governor
Rick Scott to be a Circuit
Court Judge in the Fourth Judicial Circuit. We couldn’t be
more pleased for this deserved recognition of his talents and expertise. John is
“truly honored and excited as
I embark on this new challenge.”
Our newest judge recalls,
“Ever since I arrived at the
University of Florida as a
freshman in 1983, I have felt
compelled to help others less
fortunate than myself…I
wanted to give something
back.” To that end John
joined the Juvenile Alternative Services Program (JASP)
in Gainesville, which is a program that joins adults with
children in trouble with the
law. John was assigned four
mentees during the three
years he worked with JASP
and, much like the Big
Brother/Big Sister program,
they would meet on weekends for an hour or two. He
is happy to recall that all
those he mentored successfully graduated from the program.
“My desire to help others…did not end in college,”
John says. “Starting in 2003, I
spent three years as volunteer
mentor with the “Take Stock
in Children” program in Jack-

sonville. I was assigned a
Jackson High School sophomore and we met for an hour,
two or three times a month to
discuss any problems he was
having and to be a sounding
board for his ideas. I did
everything I could to demonstrate the right way to live
and treat others. We laughed,
and we shared, and we were
both the better for it.”
John and his wife Homa
have been married more than
19 years and are blessed with
three daughters: Gracie, Ella
and Layla. He says, “Our
middle daughter Ella is profoundly mentally and physically handicapped. Being the
parent of a special needs
child is a remarkable experience. It is a journey of fear
and faith, patience and acceptance, and love and compassion. Without ever saying
a word, Ella has taught me
how blessed we are to have
our health and how important it is to appreciate the
needs – ALL the needs – of
others. She has given me
courage and strength and has
made me a better person,
which I believe will make me
a better judge.”
State Attorney Angela
Corey says she is sorry to see
John leave but is happy for
him because she knows it
was his dream to be a judge.
She appreciates his “unbelievable devotion” to the
criminal justice system. Judge
Guy replaces Judge Mallory
Cooper who retired at the
end of 2015.
So our hats are off to
Judge John Guy – an extraordinary citizen of our community – for his integrity and
expertise in seeing justice. We
offer our best wishes and
pray God’s blessings as he
enters this new phase of his
life and career.

THE JUSTICE COALITION’S VICTIM’S ADVOCATE • 11
Internet communication:
How it all started
In ancient Israel, it came to
pass that a trader by the name
of Abraham Com did take
unto himself a young wife by
the name of Dorothy. Dot Com
was a comely
woman, broad of
shoulder and long
of leg. Indeed, she
was often called
Amazon
Dot
Com. And she
said unto Abraham, her husband, “Why dost thou travel
so far from town to town with
thy goods when thou canst
without ever
leaving
thy
trade
tent?” And Abraham did look at
her as though she were several
saddle bags short of a camel
load, but simply said, “How,
dear?” And Dot replied, “I will
place drums in all the towns
and drums in between to send
messages saying what you
have for sale, and they will
reply telling you who hath the
best price. The sale can be
made on the drums and delivery made by Uriah’s Pony Sta ble
(UPS).”
Abraham thought long and
decided he would let Dot have
her way with the drums. And
the drums rang out and were
an immediate success. Abraham sold all the goods he had
at the top price, without ever
having to move from his tent.
To prevent neighboring
countries from overhearing
what the drums were saying,
Dot devised a system that only
she and the drummers
knew. It was known as Must
Send Drum Over Sound
(MSDOS), and she
also developed a
language to transmit ideas and pictures – Hebrew To
The
People
(HTTP).
And the young men did
take to Dot Com’s trading as
doth the greedy horsefly takes
to camel dung. They were
called
Nomadic
Ecclesiastical
Rich Dominican Sybarites, or
NERDS.
And lo, the land was so
feverish with joy at the new
riches and the deafening
sound of drums that no one
noticed that the real riches
were going to that enterprising
drum dealer, Brother William
of Gates, who bought off every
drum maker in the land. Indeed he did insist on drums to
be made that would work only
with Brother Gates’ drumheads and drumsticks.
And Dot did say, “Oh,
Abraham, what we have
started is being taken over by
others.” And Abraham looked out
over the Bay of Ezekiel, or
eBay as it came to be
known. He said, “We need a
Northeast Florida
lost a passionate advocate for children
when Delores “Dee”
Wilson passed away
last month following
a bout with pancreatic cancer. She fostered
and/or
adopted about 1,200
children during her life. Judge David Gooding, who presides
over many adoptions in Jacksonville said, “She opened her home
and heart to children in the time of their greatest need. All of us
are better that Dee Wilson served our children.”
Dee and her husband George are long-time supporters of the
Justice Coalition and, sadly, they needed our services when their
adopted son, Michael, was murdered in 2011. We extend our sincere sympathy to George and their many children, praying for
God’s comfort during their time of grief and loss.
name that reflects what we
are.” And Dot replied, “Young
Ambitious Hebrew Owner
Operators.” “YAHOO,” said Abraham.
And because it was Dot’s idea,
they named it YAHOO Dot
Com. Abraham’s cousin, Joshua,
being the young Gregarious
Energetic
Educated
Kid
(GEEK) that he was, soon
started using Dot’s drums to
locate things around the countryside. It soon became known
as God’s Own Official Guide
to
Locating
Everything
(GOOGLE). That is how it all began.
And that’s the truth!
