JEA customers have pushed a petition for lower utility rates past 10,000 signatures after residents reported unexpectedly high bills. The complaints began before Oct. 1 adjustments that JEA says cover operating costs, infrastructure and other obligations, so the changes do not explain every increase. The utility urges customers to ask about unusual charges and offers payment arrangements, extensions and efficiency assessments. The petition organizer plans to take the campaign to JEA's Oct. 27 board meeting.

This is one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do, but I’m looking to rehome my dog Ellie.

I’ve been laid off for the second time in one year, which has significantly affected both my finances and my time. I still haven’t fully recovered from the first layoff and now I’m facing another. I previously worked remotely but I’ve accepted the quickest job I could find, which is on-site and requires long hours. I know that keeping Ellie crated for long periods five days a week isn’t the life she deserves.

I’ve looked into daycare and hiring a dog walker but unfortunately, I’m not in a financial position to sustain for five days a week and leave for long hours. I’m afraid I won’t be for some time.

I’ve had Ellie since she was a puppy and adopted her from ACPS. She’s about a year old, crate trained, potty trained, spayed, up to date on her shots, and has completed a five-week training program.

Ellie is incredibly smart, but that also means she needs plenty of mental stimulation. If she gets bored, she’ll find her own entertainment which usually means chewing on something she shouldn’t. She’s high energy, so an active owner would be a great fit. Once she’s tired out though, she’s the best cuddle buddy.

She’s great with other dogs but because she’s strong and energetic, she would do best with a dog closer to her size. She also has a high prey drive, so a home without cats or small children would be the best fit for her.

Ellie is a sweet, confident, and spunky girl. I would love to see her go to a home with a backyard, another dog to play with, or simply someone who has the time and energy to give her the active life she deserves.

Ellie is my baby and she is incredibly loved. I’m hoping she can become someone else’s baby and be loved just as much.

Hi guys we’re hosting a goth fashion show October 9th on the north side in Jacksonville if anyone’s interested feel free to come and get tickets at the door!

Here's my bio, sorry it's in the third person: Dan Alten is a charming goofball from Kentucky who has been traveling the country for the past decade doing about 200 shows a year bringing his intelligently surreal bebop nonsense everywhere from theaters to punk basements to art galleries to beloved comedy clubs with a knack for making audiences feel like they're on a good psychedelic trip without the drugs. Like if the Ramones were one guy with a mustache and good jokes. Iggy Pop with puns. Clever chaos. Like Jimi Hendrix lighting fire to a Tik Tok reel live on stage. He has opened for Kyle Kinane, Bobcat, Sam Tallent, Rory Scovel, Sarah Sherman from SNL, Johnny Pemberton, Hari Kondabolu, rapper Open Mike Eagle, DJ Doug Pound & David Leibe Hart from Tim & Eric, various punk bands with silly names, and a guy at an open mic who tried to throw his father’s ashes into the crowd. He has recorded 2 albums, written a zine, and filmed a pilot for an Amazon Prime stand up show that was lost to history. But most importantly he’s very funny and unique. You will enjoy him. And if not you can mud wrestle him after the show.
