redevelopment and revitalization of Downtown Jacksonville? The answer is an emphatic “no!” We need to start focusing on the concepts like equality of outcome and equality of opportunity! Instead, what we are seeing is progress for some people…but not for “the people!” This is not progress; it’s the same exclusion that African Americans have had to endure for generations! What some folks point to as economic progress in Jacksonville is really racial and class discrimination. The Northside Coalition stands against social, racial and economic injustice. But we know that “Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did, and it never will!” All activists know: 1. We must rise up and demand that the white power structure stop this madness! 2. We must fight the powers that be! 3. We cannot sit by quietly and allow white privilege and the ideology of white supremacy to continue unabated. 4. We cannot allow discrimination to continue from one generation to the next. The rich keep getting richer, and black folks and poor folks keep being left out! Not only are we being excluded; we are also being victimized! People of color in our city are, in fact, the victims of economic warfare, economic refugees! White developers and capitalist investors reign supreme. The ruling class is still cracking the whip! News of new projects and real estate development abounds! Unfortunately, for the most part, 30 percent of the city’s population is getting the economic shaft while white entrepreneurs of all ages get more than their fair share of the city’s wealth and bounty! They are getting more city contracts and more economic opportunity while inequality rises. No, this is not progress. Ben Frazier via email

bias handing out a brickback [sic] to the St. Johns County Commission for making our neighbor to the south a sanctuary for the Second Amendment. Yes, that one: the one in the Constitution of the United States of America. Silly rabbit, had they made it a sanctuary for illegal aliens, NAMBLA members or Kermit Gosnell, you would’ve adorned them with a bouquet. Talk about myopic and a lack diversity. Where is your tolerance for competing points of view? I forgot: when progressives use the word “dialogue,” they just really mean, “You must listen to me until you are exhausted and then give in so you can finally go get a sandwich.” Great “journalisming” folks!

know some Republicans acknowledged that what the president did was wrong and/or inappropriate but didn’t rise to the level of an impeachable offense. You now have to wonder: what does rise to that level? On the bright side, kudos to Sen. Mitt Romney for recognizing that it was much worse than inappropriate. A special thanks to other senators for questioning whether calling a foreign country to investigate an American citizen, let alone a political rival, doesn’t give off a certain…stench? If you’ve ever lived in a third-world country, you know corruption is part of the political fabric. It’s endemic. Under our current leadership, thuggery, racism, misogyny, bribery, extortion, payback, namecalling and denial of truth are all back in style. It bothers me more than a little when state-controlled corruption is sanctified. It makes me wonder where this might lead us. Do you wonder, too? Ed Robertson via email

BRICKBATS + BOUQUETS BOUQUET TO RON DAVIS On Feb. 16, Davis observed what would have been the 25th birthday of his son, Jordan Davis, with a free, public celebration at St. Paul Missionary Baptist Church. Readers will recall that Davis was shot and killed at a Jacksonville gas station on Nov. 23, 2012. The murderer, Michael David Dunn, didn’t like the music Davis and his friends were listening to in their vehicle. BOUQUET TO WINN-DIXIE Last week, the supermarket chain moved into the Gateway Town Center space infamously vacated by Publix at the end of last year. Publix’s withdrawal led to public outcry, as the Brentwood neighborhood was already effectively a food desert. BOUQUET TO JULIA KAGILIERY At the end of 2019, Kagiliery became the first Episcopal School of Jacksonville student to be published. The high school junior collaborated with Texas Tech researcher Dr. David Weindorf to analyze coal samples for sulfur.

FOLIO: NEWS

SOLITE, SO LOW CORPORATION SEEKS TO DEVELOP SOILED SOIL—AGAIN IT WAS THE SUMMER OF 2018, AND THE FOLKS in Clay County’s Russell Landing had prevented Solite from selling its contaminated industrial land to a residential developer. They knew they had not won the war, of course, only a small battle. But they hoped the next one would wait in the distant future. They were wrong. In the early 1950s, billion-dollar corporation Northeast Solite purchased some 900 acres of pristine farmland in Green Cove Springs from a county commissioner’s family. The Solite plant dug clay and baked it in kilns to produce building and drainage materials. Initially, the facility used clean fuels, but that changed in the early ’70s, when toxins became attractive alternatives for corner-cutting corporations. Northeast Solite operated several plants on the Eastern seaboard and quickly got in line to transport and burn hazardous waste. Still, Solite brass had several hurdles to climb. Clay County ordinance prohibited the transport and burning of hazardous wastes. Solite quietly ignored the regs, and county authorities let the corporation skate. The second hurdle was the fact that its existing kilns and equipment were not designed to safely burn hazardous waste. Yet the facility continued to burn it—under the company’s existing cleanfuel permit. An appropriate permit was pursued only half-heartedly (and unsuccessfully). Meanwhile, Solite facilities raked in huge profits. And everything around the plant began to suffer as Solite’s faulty equipment spewed the harsh chemicals over Russell. As the permit process stretched into years, the company received huge fines—which state authorities reduced to pennies on the dollar. Surprisingly, state and federal regulators knew the neighborhood was in danger. A 42-page EPA document released in 1992 stated that “hazardous constituents … have been detected in the sediment at the facility. These hazardous constituents pose a threat to human health and the environment.” (The report also stated that hazardous compounds had been detected in Mill Log Creek, which flows into Black Creek.) By 1993, neighbors noticed an increase in the incidents of serious illnesses, cancers and deaths in their small area. Residents came before the Clay County Commission and asked for a health study. Then-Commissioner Buddy Griffin fought for the residents, but the rest of the commissioners refused to help. Eventually, however, state regulators were pressured to act. The night before they descended on Solite, the company literally disappeared. Employees said a supervisor directed them to dismantle the plant and scrape everything, except several buildings on the property, into the hazardous ponds. By the time daylight rose on Solite, it no longer existed. In the early spring of 2018, however, Solite was back, this time sporting a benign new name: Stoneridge Farms. Executives

had dissolved the million-dollar-plus Solite Corporation, stripped the assets, and created the new entity. They wanted the county to rezone the property from agricultural to residential and allow the construction of three homes per acre under the eye of a Jacksonville developer. Many of the Russell residents who had fought Solite back in the ‘90s were dead, sick or had moved. Consequently, most of the Russell residents knew nothing about the site’s history. But as Stoneridge slowly moved its designs through the Clay County bureaucracy, residents came to learn the sordid story of Solite. In June 2018, after a series of county committee appearances marked by public outcry, Solite came before a county commission that bore no resemblance to the “good ole boy” commission of 1995. This one voted five-to-zero against Solite. Now residents have learned that Solite is at it again, petitioning the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) to sell the land for a large commercial venture, which wouldn’t require the same stringent regulations as residential developments. Since the FDEP has been unwilling or unable to communicate, Dr. Kristin Burke, a veteran of previous Solite skirmishes, put the issue on the docket to appear before the commission on February 11. Along with other residents, she and Randy Gillis spoke about their concerns. Dr. Burke said health issues still abound in their neighborhood. She said since she and most of her neighbors were not aware of Solite’s wrongdoings, they swam in the waters and ponds around their homes. She teared up as she described her husband’s mysterious illnesses. She related how her healthy young daughter developed a strange infection in her hip that painfully and literally ate away her hip joint. Randy Gillis told the commissioners that he and his neighbors were “scared” of what was happening to their neighbors. He also said that he is concerned that three of the five commissioners will be term-limited in November, including Diane Hutchings, their most stalwart supporter. Hence, there will be no continuity for communication about Solite. Russell residents have good reason to be scared. If the FDEP does not do its due diligence, if it simply approves the commercial development, Solite will have a strong hand against the county, and may be able to sue its way to victory. Or, the EPA and FDEP can sue Solite and force it to pay for cleanup. The county may also have this option. In other hazardouswaste disasters, the polluters were forced to buy the residents out of their homes and allow the land to lay fallow. Solite’s wealthy parent company, Northeast Solite, could afford to do this. But there seems to be no entity willing to seek the justice the good folks in the Russell Community deserve.

THE WATER CALLS Jordan Walter, Malcolm Jackson and Dustin Harewood explore The Black Beach Story by MADELEINE PECK WAGNER Photos BY MALCOLM JACKSON

THE BLACK BEACH Runs through May 27. Opening reception 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 20, Cathedral Arts Project, 207 N. Laura St., Ste. 300, capkids.org, Downtown, free 10 | FOLIOWEEKLY.com | FEBRUARY 19-25, 2020

“THIS IS WHAT IT MEANS TO BE AN ARTIST,” MALCOLM JACKSON SAID. We’re winding up a group conversation about art, design, fashion pop-ups, American Beach and what it means to make art in Jacksonville right now— how cross-platform, neighborhood and presentation models change and evolve and how art can exist at surprising and revelatory intersections. Dustin Harewood, Malcolm Jackson and Jordan Walter have known each other for about five or six years. They came into one another’s orbit through a shared interest in music, streetwear, fashion, sneaker culture and an elevated, elegant discourse on pop culture. For Harewood, that constellation of interests is manifested in his paintings and collages. For Jackson and Walter, it is epitomized in Bonsoir Southern Flea Market: the limited-edition clothing company that they started with Stan Wilcox. It’s worth noting that Bonsoir was conceived as more than one single thing. Like the fashion industry itself, it operates on multiple levels: design, art, art direction and editorial photography. Now, the three artists are collaborating on a major art show. The Black Beach is, in many ways, a meditation specifically on the sad fate of American Beach in Fernandina, but in a wider frame—through Harewood’s intervention—it’s a show about encroaching capitalism and the micro and macro destruction wrought by its “growth” imperative. Capitalism being ever-ravenous, it’s always a timely subject. CONTINUES ON PAGE 12 >>>

FEBRUARY 19-25, 2020 | FOLIOWEEKLY.com | 11

Dustin Harewood, Golden Era The first black beach in Florida, established circa 1905, Manhattan Beach was located roughly at what today is parking lot eight at Kathryn Abbey Hanna Park. The site is all sun-bleached sand dunes, but 100 years ago, it was the center of a small and thriving seaside community. Once that land became desirable, however, local segregationist Edward Ball (with help from politician Harcourt Bull) saw to it that a law was passed making it illegal for black people to buy or own land in Atlantic Beach. Thus, in 1935, Abraham Lincoln Lewis, the first black millionaire in Florida, founded American Beach as a place where the employees of his AfroAmerican Life Insurance Company could go to enjoy “recreation and relaxation without humiliation.” Almost a century later, the small community is surrounded by wealthy resorts and under pressure from developers who hope to force longtime families out. It’s not a new tale, but it is one that bears repeating, if only to force a conversation about whose stories and traditions are valued in this region. (Here’s looking at you, Confederate monuments to “history.” And you, current owners of Lewis’s historic home who just demolished it). Jackson says when he thinks of the beach in general, he thinks of American 12 | FOLIOWEEKLY.com | FEBRUARY 19-25, 2020

Malcolm Jackson, Untitled (Ghosts of NaNa) Beach specifically. “That [place] was the beach. I didn’t go to Jacksonville Beach until I was 18.” Walter, too, says his connection to the actual and mythical space of the beach is rooted in his relationship to the area. There’s also a little bit of nostalgia for things as divergent as church t-shirts, blogs from the aughts, and haute street culture as epitomized by the clothing brand Bathing Ape. “Here in Jacksonville, because we don’t have that ‘one’ person, or even a bunch of different sneaker boutiques, people will find their inspiration from the Internet, and you’ll get a false impression of what that [aesthetic] is,” he said. Harewood’s connection to the Fernandina community is more tenuous: “The only other time I had heard about American Beach (and I’ve been here since 2004) was from Roosevelt Watson III. I didn’t know anything about it until Roosevelt presented his work [on it] at the library. I credit him.” But so much of Harewood’s work is centered on his life on Barbados and his frequent trips to Japan that the ocean often takes center stage. Though his most recent show (Warm Rain and Electricity) in December focused on large-scale abstracts, his ongoing body of work, 36 Views of a Dying Reef, explores the destruction and rebuilding of giant ocean reefs. Some

these will be on display alongside The Black Beach. For Harewood, representing reefs is meaningful because they are an important part of the planetary ecosystem. When they die, humanity dies. Initially, the exhibition grew out of a recent series of editorial photographs Jackson snapped during the course of Memorial Day weekend in 2019. He’d returned to the beach because “the water calls to me.” While there, he started to think about all the singular stories that took place there—from James Brown being “uninvited” to play at the nightclub Evan’s Rendezvous (he was too turnt) to ships full of kidnapped Africans sinking off of the coast. He decided he wanted to do something to draw attention to the place, while also blurring the lines between past and present. Jackson conceptualized an editorial photo shoot wherein his models would be wearing clothing styled to evoke the heyday of the beach. “I wanted to bring awareness to the area as a whole … I wanted to do something to try to save it.” The resulting work is a series he calls “Ghosts of NaNa.” NaNa is the great sand dune that sits at the heart of the community. Purchased by the National Parks Service in 2005, it is now a protected part of the Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve.

Talking about his approach, Walter explained, “I did end up doing some t-shirts, but they’re—they’re kind of hard to explain … in all the work I did for the show, I wanted to show my depth as an artist. The pieces are layers upon layers upon layers: the kind of things you have to look at for a while to understand them. I think maybe that’s what I appreciate about design, and more specifically t-shirt design, because [the t-shirt] celebrates life, death, protest—it’s greater than what you see, more powerful than a picket sign, and is accessible.” In making his pieces, Jordan “sampled” Jackson’s photos in a manner that recalls Harewood’s own sampling of cultures and experiences—from Brooklyn to Barbados, Japan to Disneyland. The method is an outgrowth of postmodern theory and hip hop practice, moving across media, reflecting different materials, and multiplying the points of access to art, fashion and design. Showing together seemed like a natural fit for the three artists. With elements of pop and fine art wed to the unexpected and deliberate, The Black Beach promises to deliver a meaningful rumination on place, loss and blackness.

A FETCHING SMILE

DOGGIE DENTAL HEALTH IS DECISIVE

THERE ARE FEW THINGS THAT MAKE ME happier than sticking my snout in a big bowl of kibble and gobbling down every last crumb. The problem? Bad breath. All that crunching without proper dental care can create a mouthful of problems. And let’s face it: nothing ruins a cuddle with your canine like a blast of bad breath. Doggie halitosis is one of the worst things a dog can have, and it is often a telltale sign of gum disease. That stench coming from your dog’s mouth means there’s a colony of disease-causing bacteria living and thriving inside its muzzle. Not only does it lead to dental pain and tooth decay, but it can also spread to other parts of the body, causing inflammation, sickness and even death. Diet can also cause that stinky smell, especially if your dog feasts on trash, table scraps and animal feces. While bad breath can indicate a more serious illness, the main culprit is usually poor dental hygiene. Daily brushing is one of the easiest things you can do to protect your dog’s dental health. It’s true: few dogs will step up to the sink for a good tooth scrubbing, but the few seconds a day it takes to whisk a brush across its pearly whites will pay off in better health—and sweeter kisses. One of the leading benefits of brushing your dog’s teeth regularly is that you can catch dental problems early. Most dogs are good at hiding pain, which includes any discomfort they may be having in their mouth. By brushing your dog’s teeth every day, you’re preventing harmful buildup from developing and giving yourself an opportunity to spot any changes early on. An important truth to note is that smaller dogs and pups with flat or short broad snouts often require more frequent brushings. Because their mouths are smaller, these dogs’ teeth are more crowded. They are more prone to plaque

buildup and thus more likely to develop periodontal disease. Toothbrush-wise, a good rule of thumb is that gentler is better. Find a brush that fits comfortably in your dog’s mouth and is soft enough not to irritate its gums. You’ll also need specialized toothpaste. Never use human toothpaste, baking soda or salt, as it could be harmful if your dog swallows it. Doggy toothpaste comes in a variety of flavors, from vanilla mint to peanut butter and even liver. Go with what you imagine your dog will like. While regular brushing is your first line of defense against bad breath and gum disease, there are other ways to help clean your canine’s choppers:

CHEW TOYS Gnawing on chew toys can rasp away tarter while massaging dogs’ gums and keeping their teeth strong. DENTAL CHEWS These treats help clean teeth, remove debris and freshen breath. Products with the VOHC-approved stamp are recommended. WATER ADDITIVES This oral care solution helps tackle bacteria, reduce plaque and freshen breath. Dental hygiene is just as important to your dog’s overall health as nutrition, exercise and grooming. Following a dental care routine not only helps produce a winning smile, fresh breath and happy gums, but it also contributes to a longer, healthier life.

ready to change your mind about an idea or belief or theory that has been losing its usefulness? Would you consider changing your relationship with a once-powerful influence that is becoming less crucial to your life-long goals? Is it possible you have outgrown one of your heroes or teachers? Do you wonder if maybe it’s time for you to put less faith in a certain sacred cow or overvalued idol? According to my analysis of your astrological omens, you’ll benefit from meditating on these questions during the coming weeks.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Have you ever dropped out of the daily grind for a few hours or even a few days so as to compose a master plan for your life? The coming weeks will be an excellent time to give yourself that necessary luxury. You’re entering a phase when you’ll generate good fortune for yourself if you think deep thoughts about how to create your future. Consult your soul’s code and formulate an inspired, invigorating blueprint for the coming years. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Novelist William Makepeace Thackeray (1811–1863) is famous for Vanity Fair, a satirical panorama of 19th-century British society. The phrase “Vanity Fair” had been previously used, though with different meanings. Thackeray was lying in bed near sleep one night when the idea flew into his head to use it for his own story. He was so thrilled that he leaped up and ran around his room chanting “Vanity Fair! Vanity Fair!” I’m foreseeing at least one epiphany like this for you in the coming weeks. What area of your life needs a burst of delicious inspiration?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Who loves

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I don’t require everyone I learn from to be an impeccable saint. If I vowed to draw inspiration only from those people who flawlessly embody every one of my ethical principles, there’d be no one to be inspired by. Where do you stand on this issue? I bet you will soon be tested. How much imperfection is acceptable to you?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Comedian John Cleese co-founded the troupe Monty Python more than fifty years ago, and he has been generating imaginative humor ever since. Call on his counsel as you enter the most creative phase of your astrological cycle. “This is the extraordinary thing about creativity,” he says. “If you just keep your mind resting against the subject in a friendly but persistent way, sooner or later you will get a reward from your unconscious.” SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Philosopher Baruch Spinoza (1632–1677) developed a vigorous and expansive vision. That’s why he became a leading intellectual influence in the era known as the Enlightenment. But because of his inventive, sometimes controversial ideas, he was shunned. To compensate, he spent lots of time alone taking wideranging journeys in his imagination. Even if you have all the friends and social stimulation you need, I hope you will follow his lead in the coming weeks—by taking wide-ranging journeys in your imagination. It’s time to roam and ramble in inner realms.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “Absolute reason expired at 11 o’clock last night,” one character tells another in Henrik Ibsen’s play Peer Gynt. I’m happy to report that a different development is on the verge of occurring for you. In recent days, there may have been less than an ideal amount of reason and logic circulating in your world. But that situation will soon change. The imminent outbreak of good sense, rigorous sanity and practical wisdom will be quite tonic. Take advantage of this upcoming grace period. Initiate bold actions that are well grounded in objective rather than subjective truth.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

you best? Which of your allies and loved ones come closest to seeing you and appreciating you for who you really are? Are there energy drains that you’ve allowed to play too prominent a role? Meditate on questions like these in the coming weeks. You’re in a phase when you can access a wealth of useful insights and revelations about how to skillfully manage your relationships. It’s also a good time to reward and nurture those allies who have given you so much.

Renowned composer Franz Schubert (1797–1828) created more than 700 compositions, some of which are still played by modern musicians. Many of his works were written on and for the piano—and yet he was so poor that he never owned a piano. If there has been a similar situation in your life—a lack of some crucial tool or support due to financial issues—I see the coming weeks as being an excellent time to set in motion the plans that will enable you to overcome and cure that problem.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Doom and gloom dominate the forecasts made by many prophets. They experience perverse glee in predicting catastrophes. That’s not how I operate. I deplore the idea that it’s only the nasty prognostications that are interesting. In that spirit, I make the following forecasts: The number of homeless Virgos will decrease dramatically in the near future, as will the number of dreamhome-less Virgos. In fact, I expect you folks will experience extra amounts of domestic bliss in the coming months. You may feel more at home in the world than ever before.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): In 1908, British playwright W. Somerset Maugham reached the height of success. Four of his plays were being performed concurrently in four different London theaters. If you were ever in your life going to achieve anything near this level of overflowing popularity or attention, I suspect it would be this year. And if that’s a development you would enjoy and thrive on, I think the coming weeks will be an excellent time to set your intention and take audacious measures.

NEWS OF THE WEIRD FROM BAD TO WORSE A well-meaning neighbor’s attempt to save his friend from a dog attack went south on Feb. 5 in Adams, Massachusetts. Berkshire District Attorney Andrea Harrington told the Associated Press the neighbor heard yelling shortly after noon and discovered his friend being attacked by his own dog and his girlfriend’s dog. The good Samaritan returned to his apartment, got the crossbow he used for hunting and fired it up a stairwell at one of the dogs. But the bolt glanced off the dog and went through the door into the apartment where it struck and killed the victim. Harrington said the dogs had a history of aggression and were usually kept in separate kennels. She described the man as “very distraught” and did not expect criminal charges to be filed. Officers responding to the scene shot both dogs. PRESPECTIVE Juan Zamora, 63, of Kissimmee, Florida, needed directions on Feb. 8 and flashed his headlights at a Marion County Sheriff ’s squad car to ask for help, the Ocala Star-Banner reported. Deputy Calvin Batts obliged, but during the conversation, he noticed Zamora smelled like alcohol and was unsteady on his feet, according to the arrest report. Zamora then resisted Batts’ request to take a breath test, saying, “You didn’t pull me over. I pulled you over,” and told the officer he is “legally disabled,” which would account for his instability. However, it wouldn’t explain the bag of white powder found in Zamora’s shirt pocket, which field-tested positive for cocaine, according to the report. Batts also reported finding a two-thirds-full bottle of Canadian whiskey and a 15-year-old passenger in the vehicle. Zamora was arrested and charged with DUI and possession of cocaine. WHAT’S IN A NAME? A former employee of a finance firm is behind bars in Macon County, Tennessee, after allegedly stealing $51,000 in customer loan payments, WATE reported. Serena Swindle, 41, was arrested on Feb. 5 after a yearlong investigation by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation. She was held on $3,500 bond at the Macon County Jail. BRIGHT IDEA Ryan Sentelle State, 37, has been arrested in Salt Lake City after police said he admitted using mice and hamsters to get free hotel rooms. KUTV

reported on Jan. 30 that authorities allege State would release the rodents in a hotel room, then complain about them, prompting hotel workers to offer the room for free. State faces charges of theft by deception and criminal mischief. CHUTZPAH! On Dec. 19, five prisoners in Belgium’s Turnhout Prison escaped by climbing over a wall and jumping into a getaway car waiting nearby, Newsweek reported. Four of the men were captured within a few weeks, but officials failed to track down Oualid Sekkaki, 26, who was serving time for drug possession. Sekkaki added insult to injury when a letter arrived at the prison on Jan. 20. Inside was Sekkaki’s prison badge and a card saying “Greetings from Thailand.” Sekkaki, who hails from an infamous Moroccan prison-escaping family, is still at large. SWEET REVENGE Housepainter Dean Reeves of Bolsover, England, came to a slow realization that his client, Terry Taylor, was never going to pay him the rest of what he says he is owed for painting Taylor’s building. So in January, Reeves took his complaint public and painted a graffiti message on the building’s exterior: “Want your house painting? Don’t be like Terry. Pay the bill! Now you will!” According to Oddity Central, Reeves said Taylor “changed the job, kept asking me to do extra work. He kept saying, ‘I’ll pay you tomorrow,’ but tomorrow never came.” For his part, Taylor denies Reeves’ accusations and is threatening to press criminal charges. CLEVER An unnamed 47-year-old Italian woman convicted of fraud in 2017 in Sicily has been on the run since then, The Guardian reported, eluding authorities by hiding in convents. The woman moved to the northern regions of Italy and phoned convents pretending to be a sister “looking for help and claiming she was severely ill,” investigators said. As she moved from convent to convent, she changed her identity, duping nuns who trusted her and thought her to be kind. Finally, a Benedictine nun grew suspicious and phoned police, telling them her stories were “full of contradictions.” Authorities verified her identity and arrested her. She now faces further charges of claiming false identity. weirdnewstips@amuniversal.com

THE FUTURE SOUNDS GOOD

JAMS EMPOWERING THE LEADERS OF TOMORROW THROUGH ART OUR YOUTH ARE THE FUTURE. IN AN increasingly complex world, it is more important than ever that we arm children and adolescents with the tools they need to succeed through a well-rounded education—one that includes arts education. Throughout the last several decades, fewer and fewer students have received substantial education in the arts. However, studies show that arts education and artistic expression can have an incredible impact on a child’s academic, social and emotional development. Jacksonville Arts & Music School (JAMS) was created to fill this gap right here in Jacksonville. Within the classroom, students who regularly engage in arts activities in the span of a year are four times more likely to be recognized for academic achievement than students who do not, according to a report by Americans for the Arts. Another study, conducted by Rice University’s Kinder Institute for Urban Research, shows that arts education positively and significantly impacts elementary school students’ school engagement and college aspirations. The skills developed through artistic expression extend far beyond the four walls of an elementary or high school. Arts education by nature encourages children to approach a situation from several points of view, leading students to increased levels of empathy and social tolerance. It also strengthens their sense of ownership, sense of purpose and problem-solving and critical-thinking skills, according to Americans for the Arts. These qualities are pivotal to promoting success throughout a child’s life. These skills, coupled with the social-emotional benefits of arts education, empower the leaders of tomorrow. And that is exactly what we are aiming to do at JAMS. We are a creative youth development organization that provides arts education and leadership development to children in Jacksonville’s underserved communities. JAMS is a safe haven for creativity, a place where students in grades three through 10 can come after school to study, create and develop positive social relationships. We work to establish trust,

cultivate creativity and develop leaders through our four JAMS focus areas: music, dance, visual arts and film. We also expose students to taekwondo and robotics through our clubs. With more than 4,270 hours spent on arts education and leadership development per year, we encourage our students to embrace creativity as a way of life. Our instructors set high expectations for growth and learning, encouraging students to tackle every class, lesson and assignment with passion. We are amazed daily by our students, their creations and their achievements. Since we opened our doors in 2015, we’ve developed roots in the Jacksonville community and partnerships that have helped us continue to grow each year. One of our newest partners is the Cowford Chophouse. At the end of last year, Cowford announced JAMS as the beneficiary of its fourth annual MOO-VE IT 5K, which takes place Saturday, Feb. 22. The 5K and one-mile fun run is held in the heart of Downtown Jacksonville, starting and ending in front of the Cowford Chophouse and taking runners along the Northbank Riverwalk. All proceeds from the race will be used to expand our arts education programming. Promoting arts education and leadership development is critical to providing our children with an accessible path to success, and getting involved with JAMS through MOO-VE IT is a fun and family-friendly way to help. Runners can register online at CowfordChophouse.com/MOO-VE-IT-5K. The cost of your ticket directly supports the arts education available on our campus. Embracing creativity and arts education today gives children the skills they will need tomorrow. At JAMS, we are committed to inspiring and empowering Jacksonville’s youth to explore the world of creative thinking—not just for their future, but everyone’s.
