Saft agrees to $1.1B buyout deal Company expects no impact on Jacksonville plant Saft Groupe S.A., the Parisbased battery maker that operates a state-of-the-art plant on Jacksonville’s Westside, agreed to a $1.1 billion buyout last week. Total S.A., a French energy company, is buying Saft to expand its green energy operations. A Saft spokeswoman in Paris said by email the deal should have no impact on the company’s lithium-ion battery plant in the Cecil Commerce Center, which opened in 2011 and employs almost 300 people. Total CEO Patrick Pouyanne said in a news release the deal will “enable Saft, its management
Pouyanne
and employees to benefit from Total’s technical, industrial, commercial and financial support. In addition, this transaction will enable Saft to successfully accelerate its development.” Total is mainly an oil and gas company but expanded into solar power in 2011 by acquiring SunPower Corp. “The acquisition of Saft is part of Total’s ambition to accelerate
its development in the fields of renewable energy and electricity,” Pouyanne said. Saft’s Jacksonville plant made headlines in February when President Barack Obama visited to tout the facility as an example of the federal government’s successful investment in clean energy projects. In addition to city and state incentives, Saft received a $95.5 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to build the plant. However, the plant has struggled financially since opening. Saft reported its lithium-ion business, which includes a plant
in France in addition to the Jacksonville facility, produced a 2015 loss of 21.3 million euros (about $24 million) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. According to a February New York Times story, during Saft’s conference call with analysts to discuss 2015 results, CEO Ghislain Lescuyer said he was “frustrated” with the financial performance but “not pessimistic about Jacksonville.” He said the Jacksonville plant is not expected to be profitable for several years. In last week’s news release, Lescuyer said he is “convinced BASCH CONTINUED ON PAGE A-6
Two years of learning from other judges

Owning the day at The Players Championship
Virginia Norton hadn’t served a day as a Circuit Court judge yet, but was already looking for a way to be better. The day after being elected in 2008, Norton called the University of Virginia School of Law about a post-graduate program for judges. However, it had been defunded by state lawmakers. So, Norton went about learning to be a judge through on-the-job training and with help from her peers. Several years later, Circuit Judge Kevin Blazs told her about a Master of Laws of Judicial Studies (LL.M.) program at Duke University School of Law. (He is pursuing a legal Ph.D. there.) It would be an opportunity for Norton to learn from an excellent faculty and from classmates who are judges at different levels from around the world. NORTON CONTINUED ON PAGE A-11

JAG-bound attorney one of 250 Florida Coastal grads
By David Chapman Staff Writer People take different paths through law school. Some hole themselves up in a dorm room or apartment, cramming every piece of knowledge throughout all hours of the day. Others work, have a family or tend to other obligations that can pull them away from their studies. Yet the ones who make it, who march across the stage clad in caps and gowns, have stories to regale. Aaron Conti made it.
Public
The 29-year-old Florida Coastal School of Law grad knows about juggling obligations in the pursuit of his legal education. It’s a path that’s included a monthly weekend visit back to Massachusetts to train troops in the 181st Infantry Regiment and pulling after-hours study sessions at Dunkin’ Donuts and other places open all night with reliable Wi-Fi. Another one or two weekends each month was spent near Fort Gordon, just west of Augusta, Ga. It’s where his wife, Caitlin, has a periodontal residency with the Army. He’s made the more than fourhour car trip many a time. Law school, the military, a long-distance

He joined the Massachusetts National Guard a year later and has worked his way up be a scout platoon leader. When Caitlin took the residency at Fort Gordon, Conti’s law school search matched him with Florida Coastal. He remembers looking for his first apartment while training in the woods near Cape Cod.

Middleton not an attorney, but has law in her blood Daughter of Edward Booth named to Bar board
Sharon B. Middleton never heard the law as a calling. She determined the medical profession was her path to help people, despite the legal ties in her family. Her father, Edward Booth, was one of Jacksonville’s most prominent attorneys. He was a Florida Bar member for more than 50 years, served as Duval County solicitor and was a founding member of the longtime practice, Booth & Arnold. Her brother, Edward Jr., and her uncles went into law, too. Middleton’s mother, Bonnie, was a little more like her. After her children’s early school years were in the books, she hit the books herself. She studied psychology at the University of North Florida and spent years counseling there. She had an interest in law, too, but in a different way. Bonnie Booth served eight years on the Judicial Qualifications Commission, which Middleton describes as a group that reviews judges who overstep their bounds or “aren’t providing the best justice from the bench.” Middleton is a nurse, but her connection to the law is poised to reach what she calls the “the highest and extreme honor.” She will be sworn in next month as a public member of The Florida Bar Board of Governors. Two of the 52 members on the board come from the public sector as a way to bring outside perspective to state legal issues. It’s another step up for Middleton, who serves on the Bar’s Citizens Advisory Committee and was on the Unlicensed Practice of Law Committee from 2013-15. Despite a busy medical career, she loves her ties to the law. “There’s definitely a lawyer in here,” said Middleton. She said she will join the board

My family was colorblind. Everybody deserved justice … no matter the background. Sharon B. Middleton New member of Florida Board of Governors
at an “exciting” time when it’s wrestling with important issues like the impact of technology and a large influx of new attorneys. She said each has components relating to access to justice, something to which her father was always dedicated. In 1964, Booth and former State Attorney Ed Austin hired the first African-American in the solicitor’s office. “My family was colorblind,” she said. “Everybody deserved justice … no matter the background.” It was that mentality that influenced her early on. Her father was a dedicated servant, she said, often working sunrise to sunset and helping anyone who walked in the door. Middleton said she sees access to justice as a key issue. She said almost 80 percent of people can’t afford proper help in the legal system. Those who earn a living but don’t qualify for financial help often just do nothing. People in the business community, she said, often don’t understand the issue — unless it happens to them or a family member. Self-help centers and online access are a step in the right direction, but she thinks there will need to be a deeper reach at the individual level. Funding always has been a problem and identifying a dedicated, reliable source is an issue Middleton hopes to help solve during her two-year term.

*The results will be published each Wednesday for the prior week poll. The voting closes Sunday at midnight. Bruce Blackwell, CEO and executive director of The Florida Bar Foundation, recommended her to the appointment. He thinks she’ll continue in a long line of valuable public members on the board and that Middleton’s blend of legal and medical backgrounds will be a perfect fit. “She grew up with one of the best,” he said. “And she’s such a genuinely nice, caring person.” Former Florida Supreme Court Chief Justice Major Harding also provided a letter of support for Middleton’s appointment. He discussed his relationship with the Booths and with Middleton, someone he called “a person of integrity, honesty and compassion” who would serve the people of Florida well. That role begins next month after the Bar’s annual meeting where she’ll be sworn in. She’s often watched ceremonies, but this time she’ll be a focal point. Her parents instilled a “lead by example” mentality in her, which she knows she’s done in her medical career and in efforts in the legal field. She wishes her parents could be there to see her efforts in the legal field come what she calls full circle. “I know they would be very proud of me,” she said. dchapman@jaxdailyrecord.com @writerchapman (904) 356-2466

The Attorney ad Litem/Legal Needs of Children Committee is essential to the needs of dependent children. The committee is responsible for recruiting, educating and informing volunteer attorneys that represent children in the foster care system on myriad issues and serve as a voice for the voiceless. Through a partnership with Jacksonville Area Legal Aid’s pro bono program and The Jacksonville Bar, the court system has dedicated pro bono attorneys willing to give hours of time to improve the lives of children.

The Law Week Committee provides an opportunity for lawyers to both serve and educate their community. The committee allows you to impact local public schools, raise money for and organize donations to local charities and provide legal education to the community. It also allows attorneys to foster meaningful relationships with each other outside of an adversarial setting.

I have found the Governmental Relations Committee particularly challenging, if not essential. The committee inspires participation in the law-making process, together with education of its members and the public by hosting debates, forums, town hall meetings with the Duval Legislative Delegation and Walk the Hall in Tallahassee. The opportunities for participation are limitless.

Greetings, fellow lawyers, athletes and aspiring athletes! After nine years of practicing law, the last five years here in my hometown, I finally have gotten involved in The Jacksonville Bar Association’s Young Lawyers Section and it has been very rewarding. If we have not already met, I look forward to meeting you soon. This past year has been my first as an appointed member of the board of governors of the Young Lawyers Section of The Jacksonville Bar Association under President Lindsay Tygart. Next year, through the leadership and vision of incoming President Christian George, I will be responsible for the triumphant return of The Jacksonville Bar Association Sports League. We all know the benefits of exercise for health as well as stress relief, but this league will be much more than just exercise. It will be a great way to spend time and have some fun with coworkers in your firm and their families. It is an inexpensive way to par-
agent, partner with another firm and form a joint team, or let us know of your interest and we can combine undersized teams. For the league to make a comeback with a vengeance, we need your participation. Current plans are to have, at minimum, basketball, flag football and kickball seasons. Other activities will be in play for lawyers and staff of all ages and activity levels, such as a bowling and bocce tournaments. If there is enough interest, we could have a simulated “game show” experience –– Firm Feud maybe? We are completely open to any suggestions. Please do not hesitate to contact me with ideas you may have. Be advised there is a fastapproaching deadline for kickball registration. Stop what you’re doing and email me immediately at jweedon@hinshawlaw.com to register yourself, your team or just ask for more information. Games begin June 1 and we need teams to form a league. Register now and we’ll see you on the field.

The Health Law Committee is essential in promoting collegiality within the health law Bar. It’s a pleasure to work a client matter with a committee member because it’s easy to collaborate. Healthcare transactions law requires a good amount of creativity, and it’s so much easier to be creative with people who know and trust each other.

The Law Day Committee is essential to me as it provides rewarding opportunities for attorneys to build connections with the non-legal communities in Jacksonville. The theme for Law Day is different each year and the committee offers several events to help celebrate. This year, the theme was on Miranda and I had the pleasure of visiting elementary-school children and explaining the significance of these constitutional rights. It was an invaluable experience and I am looking forward to next year’s festivities.

Families with disabled children face many challenges. For low-income families, those challenges can jeopardize the safety and financial stability of the whole family. Those challenges do not disappear when the child becomes an adult. Guardian advocacy can relieve some of the stress and remove obstacles to consistent care for the disabled family member. As disabled children become adults, parental status no longer grants legal authority to act on the adult child’s behalf. With a guardian advocacy judgment in place, the parent is authorized to continue to advocate for his or her child and to help ensure safety and needed health care. It means the adult child is on solid ground when education, housing and health issues require an advocate. Pro bono attorney Lisa DiFranza has assisted seven families with guardian advocacy matters in the past two years. She serves as an expert resource for other pro bono attorneys and developed a guardian advocacy checklist for filing cases in Duval and Clay counties. DiFranza described her most recent case: What were the basic facts of your case? A father was seeking guardian advocacy for his mentally disabled daughter. What were you able to accomplish for your client? Simply put, I was able to accomplish his goal. He is now the guardian advocate for his daughter. He now is able to manage his daughter’s affairs to ensure her welfare.

JBA NOTES
YLS board of governors nominations due May 23
Those wishing to run for a seat on the Young Lawyers Section board of governors must email christian.george@akerman.com by 5 p.m. May 23 indicating intent to run for office and designating the seat in which they are running. Elections for the Young Lawyers Section board of governors will be conducted online May 30-June 8. Ballots also may be cast June 9 at the section’s annual meeting at 927 Events at 927 W. Forsyth St. Association members who are 35 years
of age or younger as of July 1, or have been admitted to practice law for less than five years are eligible to run for a seat. The seats up for election are: Seat 1, open for a one-year term; Seat 2, two-year term with incumbent John Wallace; Seat 4, a two-year term with incumbent Alessandro Apolito; Seat 5, open for a one-year term; and Seat 6, open for a two-year term. If anyone has any questions regarding the election process, contact Christian George.
Why was the outcome important to your client? His daughter turned 18, and unfortunately, her mental disability rendered her unable to fully understand and manage her financial and medical matters. She doesn’t understand how to make change at a store or talk to her doctor about symptoms and treatment. The father needed the authority to manage those matters to continue to be able to make sure her living and financial affairs were managed appropriately, as well as her medical needs. This means discussing medical care with doctors and health-care providers to make appropriate care decisions, manage insurance issues and handle other financial, living and social arrangements. Why was the experience important to you? What did you gain from the experience? I can only relate it to my upbringing. I was raised by parents who were public servants and our house was always a place where people young and old came for comfort, prayer, shelter, clothing and/ or food.

DiFranza We were always packing up items for people who needed them. There was not a reason –– you just did it because people needed help and we were able to provide and meet that need. When I was young, our house burned down and the entire community came to our aid, offering clothing and shelter. The return was always greater than what we gave. I gain more of a sense of community and I feel greatly blessed to be able to provide this type of assistance to those who need help navigating the legal system. What is the name of your firm? In what areas do you practice? My firm is DiFranza Law and I have a general practice, focusing in the areas of estate planning, probate, guardianships, real estate and business law. What advice do you have for other attorneys considering pro bono involvement? Do it. There is no description for the great feeling that comes over you like a wave when you see your client after the hearing is over and those letters are in their hand. Believe it or not, there are so many folks that have never had any experience with the courts or legal system and it is extremely overwhelming and paralyzing to most. It takes so little effort to make a huge difference in improving the lives of those who need help. If it is not in your practice area, try it. There are experts to assist you in every step to help you achieve the client’s goals. The required time is minimal but the personal reward is lasting. There is a need and you have the ability to meet that need. Be a part of your community. You will be so glad you did. We extend sincere appreciation to DiFranza for her pro bono assistance and the positive difference she makes in the lives of families in need. Attorneys interested in pro bono opportunities in the 4th Judicial Circuit, both project participation and case representation, are encouraged to contact Para at kathy.para@ jaxlegalaid.org. JAMES F.

This transaction will benefit Saft’s clients and employees, who will be joining a major player in the energy space.” Total is paying 36.50 euros per share (about $41.50) to buy Saft, which the companies said was a 38.3 percent premium to Saft’s stock price before the deal was announced last Monday.
Winthrop selling Fanatics warehouse
Winthrop Realty Trust disclosed in its quarterly report it has entered into a contract to sell its 588,000-square-foot Westside warehouse, leased mostly by Fanatics Inc., for $10.5 million. The company did not say who the buyer is but said it expects to close the sale in the second quarter, after it signed the contract April 13. Winthrop is a Boston-based real estate investment company that has been engaged in liquidating its property portfolio for two years. Its annual report said it had an agreement to sell the Jacksonville warehouse at 5245 Commonwealth Ave. in April 2014, but that deal was never consummated. Fanatics, the Jacksonvillebased sports merchandise company, occupies 561,000 square feet of the building, according to Winthrop’s annual report. That report said Fanatics has 30 months remaining on its lease.
FIS rises after Investor Day
Fidelity National Information Services Inc., or FIS, reached record highs last week after the company provided a positive outlook at an “Investor Day” meeting in New York on Tuesday. Jacksonville-based FIS, which provides technology services for financial institutions, said it expects adjusted earnings to grow by 13 to 18 percent over the next three years, which would bring earnings per share at $4.70 to $5.10 in 2018. The average analysts’ forecast for 2018 had been $4.66, according to Thomson Financial. FIS’ stock rose as much as $2.47 over two days to a record high $74.19 on Wednesday after the presentation. Sterne Agee/CRT analyst Moshe Katri upgraded his rating on FIS from “neutral” to “buy” and raised his price target for the stock from $70 to $85 after the meeting. “We believe since last year,
NAC Global Technologies Inc., a small public company with its headquarters office in Jacksonville, announced an acquisition that would grow the company considerably. NAC said it agreed to buy Swiss Heights Engineering S.A., a Switzerland-based company with interests in the energy industry. NAC makes harmonic gearing technology, which is used in the automation, robotics and defense industries, and reported revenue of just $574,564 in the first nine months of 2015. However, it said with the acquisition, it projects 2016 revenue of more than $30 million. The company has not filed its 2015 year-end report. It reported a net loss of $962,301, or 4 cents a share, in the first nine months of last year. Most of NAC’s operations are done at a manufacturing and warehouse facility in Port Jervis, N.Y. Swiss Heights Engineering owns a company called Bellelli Engineering that operates in six countries, supplying equipment for the oil and gas industry, NAC said. “A key component of our growth strategy has been to swiftly establish a multimillion-dollar revenue base, and to expand in the energy markets, specifically in process automation controls,” NAC CEO Vincent Genovese said in a news release. NAC did not announce the value of the deal but said the agreement calls for Swiss Heights Engineering shareholders to end up with 95.75 percent of the combined company.
IPO costs affect Advanced Disposal
Advanced Disposal Services Inc. reported revenue rose 1 percent in the first quarter to $333.8 million. However, operating income dropped 45.8 percent to $13 million, mainly because of expenses related to its attempted initial public offering, the company said in an SEC filing. After interest expenses, Advanced Disposal had a net loss of $14.3 million in the quarter. Advanced Disposal, headquartered in the Nocatee development in St. Johns County, attempted to bring its IPO to the market in February but pulled the stock sale back because of the poor stock market conditions during the winter. The company has not updated its IPO filings since February.
Dick’s Wings opens two locations
ARC Group Inc., franchisor of the Dick’s Wings & Grill restaurant chain, said it has expanded the chain by opening restaurants in Kingsland, Ga., and Pensacola. That brings the Dick’s Wings chain to 17 restaurants in Florida and five in Georgia. The two new restaurants are free-standing buildings that were home to other restaurants. ARC Group said these openings are part of its strategy to convert existing restaurant buildings, which allows it to open new locations quickly. ARC Group is officially headquartered in Louisiana but its corporate office is in Jacksonville.
Apollo buyout of ADT complete
Funds affiliated with Apollo Global Management LLC have completed their acquisition of security company ADT Corp. Under the terms of the deal, ADT merged with another security company owned by Apollo, Protection 1, but will continue to operate under the ADT brand with its headquarters in Boca Raton. Jacksonville has one of ADT’s largest operations centers, employing about 2,000 people. The buyout came only about three and a half years after ADT became an independent public company. It was spun off from Tyco International Ltd. in October 2012. mbasch@baileypub.com

management has essentially been streamlining/restructuring the operation by specifically reducing reliance on ‘people-intensive’ IT projects which, including consulting practice Capco, accounted for as much as 13 percent of 2015’s revenue base,” Katri said in his research report. “We believe this transformation will make FIS’ model more recurring in nature, while helping to drive EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) margin trends,” he said. Jeffries analyst Ramsey ElAssal actually raised his rating on FIS from “hold” to “buy” Monday, before the meeting. “We believe FIS remains undervalued and we have high conviction the company has powered through the growth, margin, and macro headwinds that have held back the stock,” he said in a research note. El-Assal raised his price target for FIS from $72 to $84.

Wawa eyes location at Beach Boulevard and Central Parkway By Karen Brune Mathis Managing Editor
Photo by Max Marbut
Fourth Circuit Chief Judge Mark Mahon, seated far left at the table, invited judicial candidates to the Duval County Courthouse on Thursday for a seminar about conduct during an election.
Southside residents might not need to look far to fill up at a Wawa, although it likely won’t be until next year that the popular convenience store and gas station chain opens in Jacksonville. Wawa Inc. sites for its entry into Northeast Florida are starting to surface, with one of the first at Beach Boulevard and Central Parkway at the entrance of the EastPark industrial and commercial center. If the deal to develop there is completed, the site would be one of at least five or six of the Pennsylvania-based chain’s initial area entry and the start of up to 20-25 over time. Regional Real Estate Manager Brian Duke did not return a call Friday, but said in January that Wawa was “all in” for Northeast Florida. As the agent, EnVision Design Engineering filed a preliminary site plan with the city for a 6,119-square-foot store on 2.7 vacant acres at southeast Beach Boulevard and Central Parkway. It is designed with 16 fueling positions and 68 parking spaces. The property is owned by Number One Vending Service Inc. Also, City Council is reviewing a request by the landowner to rezone the property from Industrial Business Park to a Planned Unit Development district. Ordinance 2016-297 is in the Land Use and Zoning Committee. Duke previously said Wawa had one site in Duval County under contract and several more in review in Duval and Clay counties. He said the company also was working on St. Johns County locations. Wawa’s corporate representative did not respond to an email. EnVision did not return a call.
Judges operate with a stricter set of standards. That’s true every day, but it’s particularly true when a judge or a candidate seeking judicial office is running a political campaign. The State Courts Administrator organized a series of forums last week to ensure judges and candidates understand the provisions of Canon 7, part of Florida’s Code of Judicial Conduct. Fourth Circuit Chief Judge Mark Mahon hosted the forum Thursday in Jacksonville. A former state representative, Mahon described the period leading up to an election as “one of the most tumultuous and confrontational times.” He also let the judges and candidates know “the (Florida) Supreme Court wants to make sure everyone conducts themselves professionally.” In the 4th Circuit, seven judges will be on the Aug. 30 ballot without opposition: Mahon, Marianne Aho, Russell Healey, Angela Cox, Steven Fahlgren, Jack Schemer and Linda McCallum. Circuit Judge Bruce Anderson is being challenged by David Trotti and Circuit Judge Mark Hulsey will face Gerald Wilkerson. County Judge Roberto Arias, a member of The Florida Bar’s Judicial Ethics Committee, said candidates for judge must avoid behavior often exhibited by peo-

ple running for other offices. “Presidential candidates can insult each other like school children. We can’t do that,” Arias said. He said the rules under Canon 7 go into effect even before a judge or a challenger files to run in an election. “You’re a candidate as soon as you declare your intention to run for office,” said Arias. Among other restrictions, candidates may not hold office or act as a leader in a political organization; they may not publicly endorse or oppose another candidate for public office; they may not attend political party functions; and they may not solicit funds. “You cannot ask for any money at any time. Period,” Arias said. Canon 7 also applies to campaign consultants, workers, family member and friends. “Maintain the dignity appropriate to judicial office and encourage your family and friends to do likewise,” said Arias. “If you have any doubt if it’s the right thing to do, the default position should be
don’t do it.” Rogers Towers managing partner Fred Franklin, a member of The Florida Bar Board of Governors, said seeking election to the bench is a “trying and arduous process,” but “there is no higher calling than to serve in the judiciary.” He reinforced what Arias said about candidates being responsible for the conduct of other people. “All those working for a judge’s campaign are under the same rules,” Franklin said “Those people are an extension of you.” Arias cautioned the judges and candidates to be vigilant. The Supreme Court is closely monitoring judicial campaigns and deviation from Canon 7 won’t be tolerated. “The Supreme Court is getting tough on lawyers — and really tough on judges,” he said. Mahon made sure everyone who attended the forum signed the registration sheet, which will be provided to the Supreme Court for verification of attendance. He described signing in as a “warning component.” “They will know you went to the forum,” Mahon said.

A rendering of Wawa’s Florida store model.
Republican faithful line up behind Trump By Dara Kam The News Service of Florida
2016 Annual Judicial Reception
The company entered Florida in July 2012 with its first store in Central Florida. It has been adding stores statewide, now with at least 90, and says on its website it intends to open 20 more by early 2017. Duke previously said construction takes up to 10 months after land is secured and permits are issued, indicating a mid-2017 opening in Jacksonville. Wawa’s preferred locations are 2-acre corner sites at intersections with traffic lights and high traffic counts. Stores operate 24 hours a day. Each store hires 40-50 fulland part-time employees. Not counting the cost of real estate, Wawa estimates a minimum $5 million capital investment in each store. A description with the council ordinance lists Grunthal & Schueth Properties Inc. of Jacksonville as the project developer. The EastPark Wawa site plan shows a full-access driveway from Central Parkway into the site, with a new median opening with a left-turn lane, along with a right-out driveway from the site onto Central Parkway. The plan also shows a rightin driveway from Beach Boulevard to the station as well as a cross-access east of the site that connects to a full-access point at Beach Boulevard. The description filed with council says the final location of all access points is subject to the review and approval of the city’s traffic engineer. A “for sale” sign on the property lists Allay Realty LLC as the contact. The LLC’s manager, Susan Burban, is a former owner of the property, according to property records.
With varying degrees of enthusiasm at times overshadowed by resignation, Florida Republican leaders are girding themselves for a must-win battle this fall as they work to coalesce support for their party’s presumptive presidential nominee, Donald Trump. At a quarterly meeting of the Republican Party of Florida in Tampa, numerous county GOP officials Friday offered the same response when asked if they are supporting Trump, a part-time Palm Beach County resident who’s all but closed the deal to face off against likely Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in November. The contentious GOP primary battle, which included the defeats of two Florida favorite sons, makes the typical post-primary party unification in 2016 a tougher task than in previous years. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio aban-
doned the race after failing to gain traction in the once-crowded GOP field. For many at the meeting, Trump’s biggest asset is his opponent. “There are three very big reasons why people are going to unify behind Donald Trump: Hillary Clinton, Hillary Clinton and Hillary Clinton,” state GOP Chairman Blaise Ingoglia said. Hendry County convention delegate Margie Nelson, whose ancestors are Mexican, said Trump — who has campaigned on building a wall along the Mexican border and characterized Mexican immigrants as “rapists” — himself is the biggest challenge in recruiting Latino voters. Nelson acknowledged “it’s going to be very hard” to persuade Hispanics in her community to throw their support behind the GOP. Bush said he would not back Trump or Clinton for president. Bush’s father, former President George H.W. Bush, has also said he would not support Trump.

FSU seeks dismissal of gun lawsuit Florida State University wants a judge to reject a request for damages by a gun-rights group and a student in a case that stems from information being included in a 2015 football “game day” guide about fans keeping firearms in vehicles. The university asked Circuit Judge Charles Dodson, through a proposed order filed last week, to approve a motion for summary judgment in the school’s favor. But Sean Caranna, executive director of the gun-rights group Florida Carry Inc., said in an email Friday the group expects Dodson to reject the motion and schedule a hearing on the request for legal expenses and “nominal” damages.

State reinforced the idea. It was when his older brother, Anthony, died after battling mental health and drug issues. All four Conti children were separately adopted. Aaron and Anthony were close and quite the handful growing up, Vergie Conti said. The loss of Anthony was hard for everyone. “I wanted to affect change on a higher scale,” said Aaron Conti. “It definitely steered me.” It steered him toward the military and law, two careers that will mold into one when Conti becomes part of the 202nd U.S. Judge Advocate General’s Corps in January. First, though, comes The Florida Bar exam in July. He starts a prep course Wednesday. Not much time to rest on one’s laurels, but he did have a respite Saturday evening. The graduation ceremony, he said, was more about saying thanks to family and friends for supporting him along the way. His parents returned the favor, surprising him with a celebration at Moxie Kitchen + Cocktails once the ceremony was over. It was an event in honor of Conti’s sacrifice and efforts, thus far. “It hasn’t been a waltz in the park,” said Nick Conti on Friday, before a slight pause and a smile. “They may not let people with the last name Conti into Jacksonville for a while … we’re going to celebrate.” All across Jacksonville over the weekend, there were celebrations in honor of graduates like Conti. Like the path it took to get there, they all likely were a little different from the next.
Florida Students for Concealed Carry, filed the lawsuit in September because the FSU football “Game Day Plan 2015,” a 28-page information packet sent out by campus police, advised visitors that firearms can’t be stored in vehicles parked on campus. Florida Carry and Hargrove argued the guide failed to follow a 2013 ruling by the 1st District Court of Appeal that said the University of North Florida cannot prevent firearms from being stowed in cars. The “game day” guide provides general information on parking, traffic patterns, tailgating, concessions, and other items such as banners, drones and smoking. After the lawsuit was filed, the university updated the guide and acknowledged the information hadn’t been changed earlier to reflect the 2013 ruling.

involved in the school’s Military Law Society and helped organize several veterans’ gravesite cleanups. More obligations, but ones he didn’t mind. “It’s been a special place,” he said, a day before he walked across the stage Saturday at Veterans Memorial Arena to receive his law degree. His cheering section included his parents, Nick and Vergie, his wife, aunt, uncle, in-laws, brother-in-law — the whole crew it seemed, except his sisters. The day was one that was somewhat unexpected, given Conti’s argumentative and sometimes brash demeanor growing up. “I still can’t believe it … I just think Aaron was Aaron,” said Vergie Conti before letting out a good-natured laugh. She remembers hugging her husband when Conti graduated high school, telling him they had “made it.” Conti was a thoughtful and sensitive kid with leadership qualities growing up, his parents said. Always a gifted athlete, he backed up NFL cornerback Brandon Carr while at Grand Valley State University. But before that, his talents led to an inflated ego — enough that his father wouldn’t let him go to the public high school where he once taught and coached basketball. He would have been the best athlete, but he also wouldn’t have opened a book, said Nick Conti. So Aaron Conti picked University of Detroit Jesuit High School, an all-boys school notorious for tough academics. There would be no slacking, no inflated ego. He stuck with it and started thinking about a career in law enforcement, like the FBI. His first week at Grand Valley

Norton
Circuit Judge Virginia Norton with her parents, Gloria and Ray, and her brother, Hamilton, at the commencement ceremony Saturday at Duke University School of Law. But she didn’t think she had a chance at getting into the prestigious program, for which 20 were chosen. When Norton told then-Chief Judge Don Moran she was going to apply, she said, “You probably don’t have to worry about me getting in.” Boy, was she wrong. Not only did Norton get in, her classmates elected her to the board of editors for Judicature magazine and she is editor-inchief of the August edition of the quarterly publication. The director of the Center for Judicial Studies said Norton’s “people skills are off the charts.” A classmate described her as thoughtful, intelligent and “a breath of fresh air.” Commencement this weekend was bittersweet for Norton. She loved being in a classroom, but loves the courtroom more. She enjoyed being a student, but thrives on being a judge. She gained a new set of lifetime friends at Duke, but has a debt of gratitude for her colleagues at home.
Getting into prestigious program
Before Norton applied for the Duke program, she sought advice from many people. Blazs encouraged her to apply, as did Susan Black, a senior judge with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit. Black teaches at Duke each fall and said she knows the program’s faculty members are excellent.
She also knows two judges who went through the program in the class before Norton’s. One of them, a U.S. District judge in Nevada, said the quality of the faculty was A-plus. The caveat, Black said, was the program is time consuming. It is two years long, including spending a month on campus each year. “Of course, no one’s at home doing your work for you,” said Black, who earned an LL.M. in 1984. “You have to decide if it’s worth working weekends and longer hours.” It wasn’t the first time Black had talked with Norton about her career. They have known each other since Norton, 44, was a young lawyer. They’ve talked about Norton’s goals and career, including her pursuit of becoming a judge, as well as personal things. She considers Norton a friend. “A young friend,” Black, 72, said, with a laugh. One of the attractions of the program is the cross section of judges in the class, Black said. A strong mix of state and federal jurists from trial and appellate courts from around the world. John Rabiej, director of the Center for Judicial Studies at Duke, said it is “very, very difficult to get in” the program. The value of the program is immense, Rabiej said. “Every judge impacts thousands of people. If we can improve that judge’s ability to do their job, that will make a difference,” he said of the program funded by The Duke Endowment.
Special to the Daily Record
CONTINUED FROM FRONT PAGE
The judges in Norton’s class hailed from West Palm Beach to Montana and from Jamaica to Germany. Black was especially pleased that a peer — Judge Johnnie Rawlinson of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit in Nevada — was in the same class as Norton. “It’s a small world,” Black said.
Making lifelong friends
That small world originated in the back row of class, where Rawlinson said she, Norton and a third student bonded early. Rawlinson said she was impressed by Norton’s thoughtful approach to resolving cases. “I thought she showed a lot of compassion for people that come before her,” she said. Rawlinson said people often make snap judgments based on what a person looks like. “She is a beautiful woman who dresses flawlessly,” she said of Norton. Beneath that, though, is a smart, capable, compassionate judge, Rawlinson said. And a caring person. When Rawlinson’s youngest grandson, Malachi, was born in May 2015, she left Duke for a weekend to spend time with her daughter and the baby. When she returned, Norton gave her a gift basket of books and clothes for her grandson. “She is just a delightful person and one of the real bonuses of the program,” Rawlinson said. Norton found a lot of bonuses, as well.

Getting help at Duke and at home
She was impressed by the collegiality of her classmates, as well as the diversity. It was interesting to compare the judges’ duties, based on what type of court they oversaw and what part of the world they worked in. For example, in Germany — where Norton’s roommate was from — there are no jury trials. Her roommate was fascinated by the jury trial system. Norton estimates she has presided over about 100 jury trials. Also, trial and appellate judges have very different jobs. Several had not sentenced people to prison, Norton said. The intellectual stimulation from her classmates, most of whom had more experience than Norton, and from the faculty was energizing. In addition to legal topics, the class studied statistics and economics at the Fuqua School of Business. “That really, really helped me,” she said. Very few judges get the luxury in the middle of their careers
to study with pre-eminent scholars, she said, as well as two U.S. Supreme Court justices who taught there — Samuel Alito and the late Antonin Scalia. Norton realizes her colleagues in Duval County helped make it possible, especially Circuit Judge Karen Cole. During both times Norton spent a month at Duke, she said Cole told her, “If something happens here, I’ll take care of it.” She also appreciates Chief Judge Mark Mahon giving her the go-ahead to take part in the program after she was accepted. Norton feels grateful that Duke paid the expenses related to the program, which she estimates at about $70,000. She’s appreciative of the support of her parents, Ray and Gloria, and brother, Hamilton, who were there to see her graduate. And Norton realized something about herself. She always knew how much she loved being a judge. But even more so now. myoung@jaxdailyrecord.com @editormarilyn (904) 356-2466

50 years ago this week
National firm to lead study of city’s ‘complicated’ electric rates Have you ever wondered what life was like in Jacksonville half a century ago? It was a different era of history, culture and politics but there are often parallels between the kind of stories that made headlines then and today. As interesting as the differences may be, so are the similarities. These are some of the top stories from this week in 1966. The items were compiled from the Jacksonville Public Library’s periodical archives by Staff Writer Max Marbut. A long-awaited study of the municipal electric system’s rates, described as “complicated,” was about to begin. City Commissioner George Mosely, who supervised the system, said selection was imminent of a “nationally known firm” to conduct the study. He said the choice of firms had been narrowed to two: one based in Washington, D.C. and one in San Francisco. The decision was hailed by the Jacksonville Area Chamber of Commerce and its industryhunting Committee of 100. “This is a very forward step,” said Guy Botts, chamber president. “In the industrial development of the area, we have been handicapped by this complicated rate structure.” He said a more simplified structure would make it easier for the chamber to explain to industrial prospects. “It has been difficult trying to explain the present structure — I think there are some 21 different rates — to people who are thinking of building a plant here,” said Committee of 100 Chair James Lumpkins. Botts said the chamber wasn’t contending the rates were too high or too low. “They’re just too complicated for the layman,” he said. The future economy in Jacksonville and its “vitality to attract more industry” would create more jobs and high payrolls, but it depended upon favorable electric rates, Mosely said. He did not speculate on how much the report would cost, but said he expected it to exceed the $15,000 budgeted for it. • The sixth annual WJCT TV-7 television auction ended with more than $100,000 in donated merchandise sold to North Florida residents. The final event of the auction — the sale of fine art drawn, painted and sculpted by local artists — brought in an additional $2,300, said auction Chair Robert Phillips. The works were sold by Jacqueline Mullikin, director of Group Gallery. She was assisted by Ira Koger during the threehour art auction. Phillips said since the art sale was so successful as a separate part of the general auction, he was sure it would become a per-
manent feature of the annual fundraising project. • Horton Reed, assistant headmaster of Lancaster Country Day School in Lancaster, Pa., was named headmaster of the planned Episcopal High School of Jacksonville. The appointment was announced by the Very Rev. Robert Parks, dean of St. John’s Episcopal Cathedral and chairman of the school’s board of trustees. Selection of the Pennsylvania educator came after the trustees’ selection committee led by Lucius Buck, an attorney and communicant of the cathedral, interviewed more than 50 candidates. “Time and a patient search have resulted in selection of a very fine Christian gentleman, a scholar and a knowledgeable administrator,” Parks said. Reed, 35, would assume his duties July 1 in temporary offices at Cathedral House on East Church Street. Parks said the new headmaster’s primary responsibilities before the school opened would be consulting with architects, developing the curriculum, hiring a faculty and enrolling students. The school, along the St. Johns River near Highland Avenue, was scheduled to begin classes in fall 1967. • The opening of Mailbox Improvement Week was marred by reports that mailbox vandalism was on the increase, rural post office patrons were getting fed up with the necessity of frequent replacements and one of the most attractive mailboxes in Duval County had been destroyed. The notably attractive mailbox was a simulated bee hive in front of H.M. Thomas’s home at 10065 Scott Mill Road.

It was smashed flat with a concrete block. Mailbox vandalism was “just pure destructiveness,” said Postmaster James Workman Jr. “It can’t be much fun, just a little work, to ruin these boxes,” he said. While postal inspectors investigated reports of mailbox vandalism, culprits seldom were apprehended unless caught in the act. Workman said most of the vandalism wasn’t reported. People felt it would be of little use to make such a report, so they just replaced the damaged or destroyed mailbox, he added. The postmaster did point out that anyone convicted of willfully destroying any letter box or other receptacle intended or used for the receipt of mail was subject to three years in prison and a fine up to $1,000. • Mayor Lou Ritter proclaimed June as “Convention Month in Jacksonville.” The city was a prime, yearround convention destination, hosting hundreds of conventions and thousands of delegates who contributed millions of dollars to the economy, Ritter said. He urged residents to join in the observance by increasing the spirit of hospitality and friendliness toward visitors. The mayor also proclaimed May 22-28 as “Realtor Week 1966.” • The Laurence F.

• A former bank employee who fell into a trap set by vice squad officers was sentenced to one year in county jail for obscene telephone calls made to a 15-year-old girl. Wayne Stover, 26, pleaded guilty and was sentenced by Criminal Court Judge Hans Tanzler Jr. Stover got six months for using lewd language on a telephone and six months for trying to induce the girl to become a delinquent by committing intercourse. Assistant State Attorney Homer Humphries Jr. said Stover’s arrest on March 18 ended an intensive investigation by vice squad Sgts. J.L Pfeiffer and N.P. Patterson. Humphries said the trap was set after the victim received a couple of obscene calls at her home in North Jacksonville and, pursuant to instructions from the officers, made a date with Stover the night of his arrest.

poses of the club was to help boys find moral, stable personalities and character identities, and to become useful, productive citizens. Telegrams of congratulations were read from James Gleason, national director of the Boys Club of America, and Richard Nixon, chairman of the board of directors. The club, located at 10th and Liberty streets, was open 3-9 p.m. Monday-Friday and 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday. A $1 fee was collected when a boy registered for the program, after which no further payment was required.

Humphries said Pfeiffer and Patterson hid inside the home and when Stover came to the door and entered, the girl — as previously instructed — exited through another door on the pretense of looking for her dog. When Stover saw her run out of the gate toward a neighbor’s home, Humphries said, Stover ran to his car with officers in pursuit. When shouted warnings did not stop Stover, Pfeiffer shot out the car’s left rear tire, but the suspect kept going. A neighbor gave the officers a ride to their patrol car parked in front of Oceanway School. They then searched the area Camand apprehended Stover on Cam den Road off New Berlin Road. Humphries said warning shots offiagain didn’t stop Stover. The offi cers had to force him off the road, where he was forcibly removed from his vehicle. Tanzler indefinitely deferred sentence on Stover’s plea of guilty to resisting arrest without violence. • In Ocala, three young men were being sought by Marion County sheriff’s deputies for questioning about unauthorized use of a credit card belonging to Duval County Schools Superintendent Ish Brant. Bill Peterson, an attendant at Buckner’s Shell Service Station, told police the young men bought $11 worth of goods and paid with a credit card. He said the name on the card, Ish Brant, sounded familiar but it was not until they left that he recalled where he had heard it. “Somehow, I don’t think they were Mr. Brant’s type,” Peterson said. Reports indicated Brant’s son, William, had lost the card. • A young bandit, who was found dead outside a North Jacksonville store after a robbery, was killed by a bullet wound to his heart, according to the autopsy report. Police Capt. R.B. Whittington said one of two bullets that struck Jimmy Cox as he ran away from the store proved fatal and he was apparently dead when the getaway car ran over his chest. Police were searching for the accomplice who helped rob Jackson’s Minit Market at 7308 Pearl St. Manager Leo McCormick fired six shots from an automatic pistol at the robbers, who fled with about $90 in cash. Police speculated Cox’s partner in the crime got to the getaway car first, started the motor and sped away from the store, running over Cox.
