Teresa Lewis, regional director from the Peebles office of Rep. Brad Wenstrup, initially offered assistance to the Highland County commissioners Wednesday in the close-out of the cancelled Rocky Fork Lake improvement grant, but the discussion soon turned to employers unable to hire workers who she said were enjoying generous unemployment benefits.

Assisting with the “closing out” of the cancelled Rocky Fork Lake development grant was the intended purpose of Teresa Lewis’ visit with the Highland County Board of Commissioners Wednesday, but the discussion soon turned to the problem of what commission vice president Terry Britton referred to as “almost a disgrace” concerning unemployment benefits.

Big question: Why is more negative time spent on defaming those who do not agree with us? Arguing usually precludes listening. It feels terrible. It detracts from our being the creative beings we aspire to become.
In claiming to know “True Scientific Facts,” are you aware of being a know-it-all? Or that just uncontrolled expressiveness blazing fearfully from your eyes above the mask?
What is the main source of your political, environmental and virus related news? Few major media, CNN, FOX, MSNBC, NPR, NY Times, Democracy Now, Good Morning America … present balanced dissension, especially about viral considerations. Yet few of us would disagree that children thrive outside in a creative environment.

Do you know if you are eligible for the Medicare Prescription Drug Plan Discount? There are many individuals in our district who are unaware they are eligible to receive this wonderful assistance. A simple phone call to our agency can help determine whether you meet the eligibility requirements.
The Area Agency on Aging District 7 (AAA7) is able to provide this service through the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act (MIPPA) grant from the Ohio Department of Aging. This project provides outreach to and enrollment assistance for individuals who may be eligible for the Low-Income Subsidy and/or Medicare Savings Program, as well as other Medicare premium assistance programs.

Who is responsible, who was involved, financing the federal legislators who voiced opposition to the Electoral College documents being legally presented at Congress that day?
Only 1/5 of D.C. or Capitol Hill police were on duty that day when it was known Trump was organizing a protest rally nearby the Capitol.
Few effective barriers were erected and what is always a most scrutinized entryway to the building was effectively breached. There were no police on horses as with other demonstrations or with mob presence.
