The Board of Directors approved funds to expand the solid waste site and the project is underway. After investigating the possibility of moving the site, it was determined that because the existing site for solid waste transfer was already approved, it would be very cost effective to modify the existing site in order to meet the needs of the community, as well as the state and county. The site will have additional fencing and access control gates that will only allow authorized individuals...
This article was written by Edward Jones for use by your local Edward Jones Financial Advisor. Edward Jones, Member SIPC.

Still, we've fought back through social media, "virtual" gatherings and walks in the neighborhood, where we could greet friends and neighbors (from 6 feet away). But when you're dealing with the financial effects of the virus and you're investing alone, you...

I gotta say, I don't understand the hysteria and controversy over wearing masks in these days of Coronavirus (or COVID-19). For Pete's sake, don't we have more important things to argue about than whether to wear a mask or not? According to my Facebook page, however, masks are a hot topic of discussion, and that is further verified by newscasts and letters to editors and radio talk shows. So what to do, what to do, what to do...wear a mask or not? I'm personally of the opinion that it may or...
The main issue in your Social Security back pain disability case is whether or not you are able to work. In a back pain case, Social Security considers both your activity limitations (called "exertional" impairments) and your pain limitations (called your "non-exertional" impairments). In order to win, you have to prove that because of these impairments, there is no way you can perform even a simple, unskilled job eight hours a day, five days a week.

How do you spend the money, and what do you do with money so that you can make sure you don't have an outstanding loan at the end of the eight-week period? The CARES Act gave us funding for the Paycheck Protection Program,...

At the same tim...

The USDA notes that insects a...
