'Innovation Day' designed to bring One Spark back to original mission
While the actual “festivities” of this year’s One Spark event are relegated to Wednesday only, festival organizers say Thursday’s event brings the true meaning back to the entrepreneurial showcase that started In 2013. Sure, Spark Walk — which is a combination of One Spark startup creators and the monthly downtown Art Walk — will draw the crowds to approximately 15-square-block area running from Hemming Park to The Jacksonville Landing on Wednesday to view the 66 projects by festival creators. ..>> view originalBody of missing Putnam County deputy found Saturday afternoon

Jacksonville police are asking for help locating a man who might be the victim of foul play. Blood found inside Jerome Dempsey Johnson’s home Saturday morning raises concern that he might be injured or worse, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office. The landlord called police about 9:30 a.m. after going inside the home in the 1300 block of West 22nd Street in an attempt to collect her rent money from the 58-year-old Johnson, said Sgt. Jay Farhat of the Sheriff's Office Homicide Unit. “Th..>> view originalGood as Gold: Ribault girls hoops team takes national title
Ribault is bringing a big trophy and a whole lot of respect back to Winton Drive. City champs, state champs, and now, the best girls basketball team in the nation. The Trojans won their first season-ending national championship on Saturday morning, crushing Riverdale Baptist (Mary.) 75-49 in the Dick’s Sporting Goods High School Nationals at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Ribault, overlooked from a national viewpoint for years, has patiently waited for its opportunity on the national s..>> view originalSymphony Review: Barber's Cello Concerto fantastically played
Beethoven’s love for opera was lifelong, yet he wrote only one opera. The opera that began as “Leonore” and ultimately came to be called “Fidelio” came slowly and late and at the cost of immense pain. Friday night in Jacoby Symphony Hall, an anticipating Jacksonville audience heard Leonore Overture No. 2 led by Courtney Lewis. This supreme yet problematic masterpiece, full of heroic themes and equally heroic music, received an adequate performance. The murmurs at the concert’s outset were over..>> view original1 dead after 2-car crash Friday night on Jacksonville's Westside
Charges are pending following a crash Friday night that resulted with one man dead and another person fleeing on foot on Jacksonville’s Westside.

Joseph T. Jannelli, 40, of Jacksonville, was a passenger in the Ex..>> view originalGene Frenette: For relentless perfection, watch UConn women
This seems like as good a time as any for me to confess something only a small percentage of sports fans care about: I enjoy watching UConn’s women basketball, even when the Lady Huskies are up by 30 points, and make no apologies for it. If that earns me ridicule from my male media brethren — the same group that UConn coach Geno Auriemma claims find women’s college hoops boring due to the Huskies’ dominance — then that’s their problem, not mine. Maybe it’s because I’ve always been intrigued by ..>> view originalSunday Business Notebook: 45 acres near Town Center to be ...
Preferred Growth Properties has completed its purchase of 61 acres across the street from St. Johns Town Center for $46,948,500. PGP, which is a subsidiary of Books-A-Million, first announced the project a little more than a year ago. About 45 acres of the land will be developed and it’s on two sides of the intersection of Gate Parkway and Town Center Parkway. It’s going to be a multiuse project but so far only two specifics have been announced.

For Jacksonville University wide receiver Andy Jones, April 30 will be a day to remember. He not only will graduate that day but will find out if he will be selected on the final day of the NFL Draft. When the 6-foot-2, 200-pound Jones wasn’t invited to the scouting combine, his chances of being drafted didn’t seem promising, though he caught 144 passes for 2,120 yards and 17 touchdowns in his college career. Jacksonville plays non-scholarship football and doesn’t have any players on a current..>> view originalGood News: Three brothers' poison prevention posters have ...
They’re still in school, but the three McAfee brothers could probably conduct a seminar on poison prevention. As it is, they’ve scored a first in Florida. They’ve all placed in the 2016 Regional Poison Prevention Week Poster Contest. Their posters will now compete at the national level against entries from the other 54 poison centers. Kevin, a fifth-grader at St. Mark’s Episcopal Day School, placed first for grades three to five. Robert, a first-grader at St. Mark’s, placed second for grades K ..>> view original
