JUNIOR DEPUTIES GET

A HOME OF THEIR OWN

Club house "on the move!"

Making an inspection of the new facility in the lower photo are(from left) Sheriff Joe Crevasse; Jim Kelly, V.A. Hospital ProjectEngineer; Peter Volpe, President of John A. Volpe ConstructionCo., brother of Governor of Massachusetts; Lu Hindery, ChiefDeputy, Alachua County Sheriff's Office; and Junior DeputyDirector Ed MacClellan.

GAINESVILLE —The Alachua County JuniorDeputy Sheriffs League is no longer homeless. Ahome base was established when the Hon. John A.Volpe, Republican Governor of Massachusetts, whoseconstruction company built the new 18-million-dollarVeterans Administration Hospital in Gainesville, do-nated the company's field headquarters to the JuniorDeputies.

The county moved the building from the hospitalto a site next door to the Sheriff's Department; andmany friends of the Junior Deputies have given timeand materials to get the facility ready for use.

Although the building was put in good shape,thanks to persons like Floyd Tillman, local paintingcontractor, and John M. Steadham, President of Cen-tral Florida Marble and Tile Co., it lacked furniture.Ed MacClellan, Junior Deputy Director, said, "Webought a couple of five-dollar used desks, but that' sall the furniture we have so far. We are hoping in-terested citizens will come to our aid with some fur-niture and maybe Ping-Pong and pool tables. "

The 81 by 47 foot wooden building has amplespace for meetings and activities as well as two of-fices and restroom facilities. MacClellan, who is alsoDirector of Youth Services for Sheriff Joe M. Cre-vasse, will set up all Youth Services Activities fromthe building; and he and his new assistant, BarneyGarwood, will house their office in the Club House.

"We will still hold meetings'in a number ofschools in Alachua County, but the Club House willprovide a central location and meeting place, " Sher-iff Crevasse told the STAR.

The Club House has been strategically locatedadjacent to the County Jail so that, when not beingused by the Junior Deputies, the facilities may beutilized by the Jail Inmates in Sheriff Crevasse's newInmate Services Project.

Mrs. Tweed breaks ground for Boys Ranch gymnasium with Judge James S. Dunn on her right and Mr. Tweed and RanchAdministrator Harry Weaver on her left.

THE VISITORS CAME BACKWith $140,000 for a Boys Ranch Gymnasium

On May 1, 1964, Mr. and Mrs. Carlton Tweed, ofCoral Gables, visited the Florida Sheriffs BoysRanch.

They liked what they saw and when they cameback for a second visit 3&/2 years later —on Thanks-giving Day, 1967—they brought along a gift of stockcertificates valued at $140,000 to be used in buildinga long-awaited and much needed gymnasium.

This was the largest single donation ever re-ceived at the Boys Ranch; and for the 100 excitedyoungsters who call the Ranch "home" it was likehaving Thanksgiving and Christmas all rolled intoone.

To start off this memorable day the Tweedsjoined Ranchers, staff members and guests in theAll-Faiths Chapel for a Thanksgiving Service con-ducted by the boys.

Then a traditional turkey dinner with all thetrimmin's was served in the cafetorium.

After dinner the Tweeds were presented withlifetime memberships in the Florida Sheriffs Asso-ciation and sterling silver Boys Ranch tie tacs.DECEMBER, 1967

Final event of the afternoon was a brief groundbreaking ceremony at the gymnasium site.

It was a day the Boys Ranch will never forgetand it climaxed a chain of circumstances that startedin 1941 when Mr. and Mrs. Tweed, as honeymoonersin Omaha, Nebraska, visited Father Flanagan's fa-mous Boys Town.

This kindled an interest in helping needy andworthy boys and resulted in donations not only toBoys Town, but also to Cal Farley's Boys Ranch, inAmarillo, Texas; and a boys home near Miami.

In 1963 the Tweeds read an article about theFlorida Sheriffs Boys Ranch, mailed in their firstannual cash contribution —a generous one too—andbecame honorary members of the Florida SheriffsAssociation.

The following year, when a trip took them nearthe Boys Ranch, they visited it and became ac-quainted with Ranch Administrator Harry Weaver.

As the years passed they continued their annual(Continued on next Page)

Sheriff PraisedFor His Role inCoppolino Case

BRADENTON —Reminiscing to a newsreporter about the headline making Cop-polino Murder case which was tried inNaples, county seat of Collier County,State Attorney Frank Schaub had somewords of commendation for Collier Coun-ty Sheriff Doug Hendry.

"Doug Hendry made a real contributionto the Coppolino case,

"Schaub was quoted

as saying. "The people down there respect'him and they respect the law. He had nodirect part in the case, but he had every-thing in the courtroom working smoothly.

"prospective jurors were put at easequickly. The bailiffs were eScient. Andthey were friendly. "

The same is true in Lee County whereFlanders Thompson is Sheriff, Schaubadded.

He went on to describe Thompson as aman who commands the respect of thosearound him.

"When you are working with people likethat, " Schaub said, "you are working witha jury which respects the law. "

Schaub, who was headhned as "The ManWho Beat F. Lee Bailey" (famous criminallawyer who defended Dr. Carl Coppolini),made his comments about the two sheriffsafter observing that cooperation and anable investigative staff can often make thedifference in a criminal case.

Dr. Carl Coppolino, Sarasota doctor, wascharged with the murder of his wife, anda change of venue moved his trial toNaples. He was convicted and sentencedto life fmprisonment.

The Visitors Came Back(Continued from Page 7)

cash contributions and kept in touch with Admin-istrator Weaver about the needs of the Ranch. Thisdialogue also eventually involved the Tweeds' at-torney, Judge James S. Dunn, of Coral Gables, andtheir accountant, Mr. Jim E. Southern, of Miami.

Finally, in the latter part of 1967, the Tweeds in-formed the Ranch Administrator that they were go-ing to contribute sufficient funds to build the long-awaited gymnasium and Thanksgiving Day was setfor the ground breaking ceremonies.

Thus, with the pitching of a few shovelfuls ofFlorida soil, came the end of a chain of events thatbegan in Nebraska 26 years earlier.

But for 100 youngsters at the Ranch it was a be-ginning, more than an ending.

They were looking forward to completion of thenew gymnasium and the countless hours of recrea-tion and healthful exercise it would offer them.

"Gee", said one small boy as he watched theground breaking, "we sure waited a long time. "8

Deputies Team up with Computer 1100 Miles Away

FT. LAUDERDALE —Deputy Sheriffshere gave a preview of what the futureholds for law enforcement when they usedthe lightning fast "brain" of a computer in

Washington, D. C., to help them solve astolen car case.

Sheriff Allen B. Michell said it was oneof the first "hits" made in Broward Coun-

ty through use of the FBI's new NationalCrime Information Center, a complex elec-tronic system that stores data about crimeand criminals and sends it out by wire tolaw enforcement agencies all over thenation.

Here's how the "hit" was made:

Deputy S'heriff William F. Bell, Jr., on

pa'trol, stopped a 1987 Plymouth bearingMaryland tags as a routine traffic control

measure, then discovered that the driver

had no driver's license and no registration

for i'he automobile.

Back at the Sheriff's oifice, meanwhile,Lt. James Cooper was monitoring DeputyBells radio messages about the incidentand he quickly fiashed an inquiry bywire to the National Crime InformationCenter in Washington, D. C.

A computer there came back in secondswith a message that the 19B7 Plymouthhad been stolen from Rockville, Maryland.

When this information was radioed toDeputy Sheriff Bell, he immediately im-

pounded the stolen car and took the driverto jail.

Sgt. Gene Sealey coordinated the remain-der of the investigation; and when the casewas finally wrapped up all three officersreceived a letter of commendation fromF. A. Frohbose, Special Agent in Chargeof the Miami Division of the FBI.

In a letter to Sheriff Michell, Frohbosesaid: "I feel you can take pride in not onlythe team work displayed by these men ofyour department, but in their totally pro-fessional approach to their job and theirknowledgeable application of new toolsplaced in the hands of law enforcementofficers by advances in science and tech-nology.

"Still in its infancy, the National Crime

Information Center became operational on

January 27, 19B7, and is presently linkedwith only a few points in Florida.

Plans are being implemented, however,for a state-wide computerized teletype sys-

tern which will put every Sheriff's office,police department and Highway Patrolstation in Florida in direct contact with theInformation Center.
