When I learned the brown tarantula is also native to Missouri, I gasped, and when I say I'm not too fond of spiders of any genus is an understatement. It's psychological. They have too many legs.

And, they're right at home here in South Carolina.

First, the Sky and Air Show in Jacksonville Beach and the Bethune Cookman University football game at EverBank Stadium were cut from the City of Jacksonville’s planned events due to budgeting. Now, Jax River Jams is the latest fan-favorite event to leave the “River City” -- at least in the short term. “I enjoyed it, my family enjoyed it, it’s a nice place to bring your kids and relax. I love it,” Jacksonville resident Michael Sheffield said after hearing the news. “I don’t know why they canceled it.” A statement sent to Action News Jax by Alex Alston, executive director for the city of Jacksonville’s sports and entertainment office, explained the reasoning: “The event was not included in this year’s budget for a variety of factors, including but not limited to, the lack of available event space downtown and rising event costs.”

More dangerous substances are entering the Denver drug supply, Harm Reduction Action Center warned in a newsletter this week. “The Iron Law of Prohibition posits that as law enforcement becomes more intense, the potency of prohibited substances increases,” HRAC Executive Director Lisa Raville wrote in the newsletter.
