Public Hearing

Ordinances Address Medical Marijuana The Trenton Planning and Zoning Commission is recommending approval of three ordinances that would put the city of Trenton in compliance with new medical marijuana regulations and allow for the location of manufacturing facilities, cultivation facilities and dispensaries within the city limits.

During a meeting on Monday night, the commission reviewed the ordinances, which outline what type of facilities would be allowed as well as where those facilities could be located. Regulations regarding use of dispensaries, manufacturing facilities and cultivation facilities, distance requirements, storage, hours of operation and licensing are also outlined.

The language approved by the commission and sent on to the city council for action is based on regulations approved

by voters as part of the medical marijuana initiative passed in November 2018. The ordinances would need to be approved by the council before the go into effect.

The commission heard from two individuals who told how medical marijuana has allowed them to decrease the amount of regular medications they are required to take. Nathan Allen, who is in a wheelchair as the result of a rollover vehicle accident, and Paul Gardner, who suffers from cancer, both indicated they have been able to use medical marijuana to control pain from their illness and said they knew of others who use medical marijuana for treatment purposes.

Emily Branch, founder and CEO of The Green Clinics, based in Kansas City, also spoke and talked of how her See P&Z, Page 10

The lines were long and the food was good as Main Street Trenton and the Trenton Downtown Improvement Association hosted “Food Truck Wednesday” this week. Powerhouse Food of Princeton brought its food truck to 10th and Main streets and served hungry individuals during lunch time. Another “Food Truck Wednesday” is planned on June 12, featuring MD BBQ. Other food trucks will be coming downtown each Wednesday through the month of August.

Estimate Nearly $1 Million

Damage Totals Top Aid Limit Preliminary estimates for damage to the county from the recent flooding have been determined, with the county far exceeding the threshold needed to apply for disaster assistance.

According to a report submitted to the state by Grundy County Emergency Management Director Glen Briggs, the estimate so far is $997,770 with a threshold of $35,000 required to seek assistance.

The total includes $42,500 in private property damage and almost $955,270 in damage to public property, including eligible non-profit facilities.

As of June 4, the townships that had reported damage were Harrison, Jefferson, Liberty, Lincoln, Madison, Marion, Myers, Taylor, Trenton, Washington and Wilson. In addition, the city of Laredo, the Spickard Special Road District and the Grundy and Livingston County Public Water District had also submitted damage reports.

The damage includes one house, located on Birch Lane, that is listed as “destroyed” due to having four feet of water in it. Briggs said while he does not know if the house will actually be occupied again, the requirement of being listed as

“destroyed” is that the damage exceeds one-half of the value of the property.

Three single family homes are listed as having minor damage and five others as being “affected” by the floodwaters.

Three businesses are also listed as having minor damage in the flood. Briggs said the number of affected homes is likely much greater, but he had only had five people contact him whose basement does not usually flood but did during this weather event. He said the number of flooded basements is likely in the dozens. Briggs had earlier said that residents should keep track of what they spend for repairs as it is possible that some of the cost will be reimbursable if the area is made eligible for disaster assistance.

Damage to public property is also listed with 48 sites having a total of $19,975 in estimated losses for debris removal, seven sites having a total of $7,140 in losses due to emergency protective measures, 267 sites having a total of $574,546 in damage to roads and bridges, two sites incurring a total of $97,398 in damage to public buildings and equipment, seven sites categorized as public utilities incurring a total of $254,211 in damages; and one site

listed as a park or recreation facility incurring $2,000 in damage.

Briggs said the worst impacts from the flooding were in the northern two-thirds of the county with lesser impacts in the far southwest area. His report listed community impacts from the flooding, noting that the force main located near Muddy Creek was partially washed out and the Trenton Municipal Airport had flooding in its buildings. Bus routes were flooded or damaged with the first day of the Trenton R-9 summer school being delayed due to the high water and road conditions. Briggs said the number of roads and bridges damaged in the flooding is too numerous to list, but the major routes that were closed include Routes W, A, N, NN, E, O and V. He said “dozens, if not hundreds” of gravel roads were closed due to flooding or damage.

Briggs said that statewide, damage had been estimated at $22.5 million as of June 4 with a threshold of $8.5 million. The estimates will be sent to the State Emergency Management Agency, with the governor’s office then able to make application for assistance through the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Festival Schedule Announced The 2019 Gooseberry Festival will feature activities for all ages, beginning with a tennis tournament on Thursday, June 13 and Friday, June 14 and concluding on Sunday, June 16 with soccer games.

SPORTS HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS BASKETBALL

Summer Team Workouts

First-Year Coach Has Experience Following Up State Run As a sophomore at Newtown-Harris High School, Kameron Cool was part of a basketball team that finished as the Class 1 state runner-up.

Following that season, the Tigers graduated a senior class that captured four-straight conference and district championships.

When Cool returned to the court the following season, Newtown’s firepower was gone for the most part. It was up to him and a handful of other returnees to keep the program playing at an elevated level.

Cool did just that, leading the Tigers to a fifth consecutive HDC championship and another trip to the district championship game the year after the second-place finish at state. Newtown went 44-13 in Cool’s junior and senior seasons combined, playing in the district title game during his senior season as well.

In a way, that experience makes Cool the perfect fit to take over the Trenton High School girls basketball program. The Bulldogs lose five players that were the core of two Show-Me Showdown runs

and three-straight Grand River Conference championships.

Cool will once again look to keep a program at a high level after heavy graduation losses.

As was the case at Newtown, when Cool and a handful of others returned from the state team, Trenton does have some talent coming back.

Maci Moore was the team’s leading scorer and rebounder last year and Lexi Whitaker played a crucial role on the team as well. Guard McKayla Blackburn also got several varsity minutes and should get her first real chance to showcase her skill set this season. “Thankfully, we still have a lot of experience left,� Cool said. “I know when you say we lose five players that feels like you got gutted. But I am very encouraged by what we have returning. I believe we have one of the best players in the area in Maci Moore and then we have just some really good players in Lexi Whitaker and McKayla Blackburn. Lexi can do just about anything that you want and McKayla is going to surprise so many people with what a good guard she can be.

So for us it’s just focusing on

GRAND RIVER CONFERENCE

us. We aren’t really worried about past stuff, we’re just focused on what we are going to do moving forward.�

But Moore, who will be a junior, and Whitaker and Blackburn, who will be seniors, will be adjusting to different roles with the loss of the five graduating seniors. All three will need to expand on what they did last year to make up for lost production. Sophomore-to-be Chandler Lynch and her classmates will be called upon to take up different roles as well. That’s where the open gym sessions and shootouts come into play.

Trenton has been meeting for open gym sessions twice a week since the day after Memorial Day. The Bulldogs are also involved in a handful of shootouts this summer and traveled to Hale on Tuesday for the first of those events. “The girls will be figuring out their roles for a while,�

Cool said. “That’s going to be figured out this summer, though. We will continue to work on that. We’re just trying to continually get better and really focus on our individual skill work. When we are in

REPORTER SAYS RUDENESS GROWS; I SEE IT IN YOUNG TRUCK DRIVERS \Every weekend, I dredge my mind for ideas for this weekly column. It’s something I’ve done every week for some 26 years that I’ve written a weekly column, At the start, I told readers, I’d write what I learned this week.

That keeps me learning. Ideas never stop coming. It’s a miracle.

Earlier this week a speeding pickup almost ran over me in a protected crosswalk on campus. When my heart calmed, I thought I should write about rudeness I see on our streets.

Before I’d decided on my column topic, I read the Saturday New York Times, my morning habit. Start the day with news. found references to all of my possible topics in the big metro paper.

A columnist noted increased rudeness being promoted and accepted by our president. A Saturday op-ed by NY Times writer Bret Stephens says our president has no interest in “civility and decency.� Now even the White House doesn’t promote civility. We show a rude face to America and the World.

Here, rudest drivers are young men unable to drive slow. They drive big pickup trucks which protect them.

They must get somewhere quick.

Speeding vehicles on city streets steal time and place from other drivers.

We who drive at speed limit can’t change lanes without triple checking rearview mirrors. We must wait for speeders to pass.

Scariest seems when young truckers speed right up to your rear bumper, before braking. It happened again a couple of days ago. That’s a big waste of fuel and brake lining. Speeders add to global warming.

Later, I was astounded by rain reports from across Missouri, When airports are flooded it must mean above average rain fell. Some places in north Missouri had overnight rains of seven inches. Those were followed with rains of five to six inches the next day. After a wet spring, nothing soaks into the soil.

In weekly teleconferences, MU specialists note that rain might not be depleting nitrogen fertilizer. Water runs sideways, not down into the subsoil, taking nutrients from the root zone.

I dug up a list of potential column ideas last week when I received an unusual honor. A want-to-be journalism student

came to visit. He’s interested in farm reporting. A young person not from the Midwest wants to learn and report agriculture.

His J-school teacher suggested: “Go talk to Duane.� I was honored by the follow up.

This sharp student told his surprise with all happening on Missouri farms.

It astounded me he was not doing classwork, but wanted stories to write this summer on his own. We need such ag reporters.

Then I read a story about all of this water falling from the sky. What we have in Missouri makes a tickle compared to water at New Orleans. Their levees are failing while the sea rises. Our water heads that way down the flooded Mississippi.

At the start of hurricane season, a storm even close to matching Hurricane Katrina will drown the city. One thousand deaths expected with gushing water to come, the story said.

We’ve built no infrastructure, including levees. The President won’t talk infrastructure with Congressional leaders, who he calls rude.

Just as I was about to finish my column, I saw an item in a Columbia Sunday paper. In a crosswalk downtown, two pedestrians were run over by a young driver. No details, except victims were hospitalized with serious injuries. No telling yet on guilt. Maybe walkers crossed against the traffic light.

I’ve experience a truck in my space in a protected crosswalk.

Excessive Rain, Cool Weather Have Farmers Considering Soybean Options Specialists Say “Planting Into The Green� May Be Best Choice Cool, wet weather is forcing more farmers to consider how to plant soybeans into tall, mature cover crops this spring.

This might be the year that farmers want to consider “planting into the green,� says University of Missouri Extension nutrient management specialist John Lory.

Planting into the green refers to no-till planting of soybean into growing cover crops.

Many growers terminate cover crops early in the season when the cover crop is less than knee-high. This lets cover crop biomass break down quickly before planting. “We’re well past that this year,� Lory says.

Lory, who heads the Missouri Strip Trial Program, says the program’s research shows only a small yield loss when planting soybean into the green. Strip trials from the past three years show a 1-2 bushel per acre loss at some locations. The yield differences could be attributed to factors such as voles or poor seed-to-soil contact going over terraces, he says.

Farmer cooperators in the Strip Trial Program have planted soybean into cover crops that were waist- to head-high with minimal yield loss. “I had never seen this done until working with farmers in the Strip Trial Program,� Lory said.

MU Extension specialist Greg Luce, a member of the strip trial team, agrees. He works with farmers who have practiced planting soybean into the green with good results. Cereal rye is the No. 1 seeded cover crop. Some farmers report better results from planting into green rather than dead residue. “Planting soybean prior to terminating the cover crop has proved to •WANTED• FARM GROUND to Lease!

be successful for many growers,� Luce says.

Many growers are most comfortable with terminating the cover crop early then waiting a couple of weeks before planting.

However, this year’s extremely wet field conditions have forced farmers to consider planting into living cover crops, Luce says. In areas with claypan soils, this may help the soil dry out and warm up quicker.

Late termination before planting may result in a mat of tough, dead cover crop residue that will slow drying of the field and might be harder to plant into than the live cover crop.

Most farmers adjust their methods from year to year, field to field, as they learn what works for their operation, says Luce.

As growers gain experience, they tweak their management to get the best results from the cover crop.

Planting into thick or tall green cover crops might require some adjustments to the planter and attachments, says Charlie Ellis, MU Extension field specialist in agricultural engineering. Farmers with older equipment may struggle with heavy residue.

Ellis makes these recommendations: • Don’t get too far ahead of planting with the sprayer. Only spray what you can get planted. If you spray and cannot plant, the dying vegetation does not remove moisture from the ground. It loses stem strength, falls and creates a mat on the soil. The mat will prevent sun and wind from drying the soil. • Check planter disk openers and closing wheels to make sure they are in good condition to no-till into cover crops. De-

pending on cover crop conditions, you might need different styles of closing wheels. • Planters need to be leveled for good depth control and closing wheel operation. • Check seeding depth frequently and plant soybean deep enough to get good seed-to-soil contact and seed slot closure.

Ellis suggests a 1.5-inch depth. • Use GPS-guided equipment if you have it available. Marker tracks on older equipment may be difficult to see. • Limit planting speed to prevent excessive row unit bounce and variable planting depth.

MU Extension weed scientist Kevin Bradley offers information on spraying cover crops in “Burning Down Cover Crops Effectively,� available as a downloadable PDF at weedscience.missouri.edu/extension/slide shows.cfm(opens in new window). “Don’t let your decision on whether to burn down your cereal rye cover crop before or after planting be based on a belief that we can’t kill it with herbicides—because we can,� says Bradley. “We still have the ability to control cereal rye that is heading out with glyphosate products like Roundup or other mixes such as glyphosate plus clethodim.�

The Missouri Strip Trial Program (striptrial.missouri.edu(opens in new window)) is a collaboration of farmers, MU Extension, and the Missouri corn and soybean merchandising councils and their checkoffs. If you are interested in strip trials or want more information on managing cover crops, contact your local extension agronomist or agricultural engineer.

As rain pushes corn planting season back yet again, farmers may be better off sticking with poor stands than replanting, says University of Missouri Extension agronomist Bill Wiebold.

Farmers face tough decisions about when and if they should replant corn, says MU Extension corn and small grains specialist Greg Luce. Start by weighing replanting costs with your head, not your heart, says Luce. Compare current yield potential against replant potential and costs.

The MU Extension guide “Corn and Soybean Replant Decisions� tells how to count and calculate stands, replant costs and yield potentials. The guide provides worksheets to help growers make decisions for different regions of Missouri. Download the free guide at extension.missouri.edu/p/G4091.(opens in new window) Wiebold’s research suggests poor stands from earlier-planted corn may be the best option as it gets later in the season for replanting. “The later we get, the more acceptable the corn stand becomes,� says Wiebold. “The health of the existing corn stand certainly needs to be considered,� says Luce, “yet it may be better to plant soybean than replant corn.�

Luce gives examples in the recent MU Integrated Pest & Crop Management newsletter article “Evaluating Corn Stands for Possible Replant� at ipm.missouri.edu/IPCM/2019/5/evaluatingCornStands(opens in new window). In it, he uses data from Wiebold that compares planting dates, different yield environments and stands from 14,000 to 36,000 plants per acre.

The data for an average yield environment shows a population of 18,000 plants per acre that was planted on May 6 has a higher yield potential of 76% than a field replanted on June 5 with a full stand of 30,000 plants per acre (75%), says Luce. In a highyield environment, more seed is required. A high-yield example shows that a stand of 24,000 plants per acre planted by May 1 would have better yield potential (82%) than replanting on May 31, even with a full stand (77%).

If you do decide to replant, be sure to kill out the previous stand, says MU Extension weed scientist Kevin Bradley.

OP/ED

The Final Word

by Diane Lowrey R-T Editor

Food Truck A Success

Main Street Trenton and the Trenton Downtown Improvement Association hit a home run this week when they hosted “Food Truck Wednesday.”

Powerhouse Food of Princeton brought its food truck to downtown Trenton on Wednesday for a three-hour lunch session, the first of many planned during the summer months as a way to attract people to the downtown area.

And judging from the number of people either lined up to place their orders or waiting to get their food, I would have to say Main Street Trenton and the TDIA got their mission accomplished.

Diane Lowrey For a first-time event, I think it went rather well. Yes, the wait was sometimes long to either order or get your food and there were some people who, because of a limited lunch hour, were unable to stay around. For those who did stay, there was a lot of visiting and laughter going on as people waited for their orders to be filled. A lot of socializing was going on, for sure. And, from what I was hearing from customers, the food was great (I’ve had food from the Powerhouse truck at other locations and would be in total agreement - Jeff and Tiffany do a great job).

While this was only the first “Food Truck Wednesday,” I anticipate this to be a popular event throughout the summer. If you were one of those who was unable to get a lunch order filled, don’t let that keep you from coming back.

With any new event, there are always kinks to be worked out and I am confident waits will decrease as the summer goes on. And, who knows, perhaps a second truck could be added if the demand is there.

Which brings me to another thought: if an outdoor food truck in the downtown area can generate this much support during the lunch hour, I would have to think the support is there for an additional restaurant downtown as well - particularly for lunch. While I saw several people who work downtown waiting for their meals, I also saw people who work in other parts of Trenton and came to try out the food truck. Hopefully, a budding restaurant owner will see the success that I believe this venture will have over the summer and use it as a springboard to consider downtown as their location. Chumbley’s has been a great addition to the downtown area and has built up a great clientele, particularly during the noon hour. The addition of a second restaurant would provide more food options to the public as well as bring more people downtown.

Meanwhile, the June 12 food truck will be provided by MD BBQ. Powerhouse Food will be back on June 19, followed by Uprooted Kitchen on June 26. The trucks will be parked at the same location - 10th and Main streets - and serving hours will be from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

What Others Are Saying...

Hawley & Net Neutrality If Missouri's U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley is serious about his battle against "big tech," the greatest victory he could win would be restoring net neutrality.

Guest Editorials Hawley, in his first term, has targeted large technology firms such as Google and Facebook with upcoming legislation. He has announced legislation in two areas, targeting software publishers that market loot boxes and pay-to-win microtransactions to kids, and calling for a "do not call list"style option to bar companies from tracking personal data.

While there's nothing inherently concerning about either of these bills, they don't strike us as urgent. But those two measures are small shots in this hunt. If Hawley really wants to arm for bear against big tech, he could target internet service providers that would seek to limit customers from accessing whatever they choose.

Net neutrality is the philosophy that internet service providers should not limit or block content that its customers wish to access. That philosophy wasn't codified into law until 2015 when the FCC created its legal framework.

But all that work was undone in 2017 when the FCC, led by chairman and presidential appointee Ajit Pai, undid the rules that bound service providers.

ISPs have a history of demonstrating the need for net neutrality — companies such as Comcast, AT&T, Sprint and Verizon have blocked customers from using websites or apps.

With the development of 5G networks in full swing, the internet is poised to be more important than ever for daily life. That's why net neutrality is important for us in Southwest Missouri: • The Joplin Area Chamber of Commerce is showing members how the internet can boost their businesses. Net neutrality ensures fair markets and open competition without the threat of a big business unfairly closing parts of the playing field.

• People of all political persuasions use the internet to inform others about issues they feel are important. Sometimes, the internet is used to mobilize people to act.

Companies should not be able to silence those voices with a flick of a switch.

• Area residents count on the internet for crucial information during times of emergency — we've seen how important streaming video on social networks becomes during tornado warnings.

• Readers across the region rely on a number of different news sources for information about local, state and national news. We suspect none of those readers would appreciate their chosen news source to be blocked by their provider.

The House has already passed the Save the Internet Act, which would restore the 2015 standards undone by the FCC. Hawley could make a difference today: He can use his influence to call for Sen. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., to bring the bill up for a vote.

Net neutrality is neither a liberal nor conservative issue.

It's an American issue. And Hawley could be its champion.

A Long Thin Line Of Personal Anguish Editor’s Note: The following column, written by World War II correspondent Ernie Pyle, relates to the remembrance of D-Day, which occurred 75 years ago, June 6, 1944 in Normandy, France. The son of tenant farming parents in west-central Indiana, Pyle became history’s greatest war correspondent. When Pyle was killed by a Japanese machine gun bullet on the tiny Pacific island of Ie Shima in 1945, his columns were being delivered to more than 14 million homes according to his NewYork Times obituary.

During the war, Pyle wrote about the hardships and bravery of the common soldier, not grand strategy. His description of the G.I.’s life was more important to families on the home front than battlefront tactics of Gens. Dwight Eisenhower, Douglas MacArthur, George Patton or Omar Bradley.

Prior to the United States’ entry into World War II, Pyle traveled to England and wrote about the Nazi’s continual bombing of London. His columns helped move the mood of America from isolationism to sympathy for the stubborn refusal of Great Britain to succumb to the will of Adolf Hitler.

The Pulitzer Prize winning journalist’s legacy rests in his words and the impact they had on Americans before and during a war that threatened to take the world behind a curtain of fascism. His columns open a window to the hardships endured by the common U.S. soldier during World War II and serve today to honor what has been called “The Greatest Generation.”

NORMANDY BEACHHEAD, June 17, 1944 – In the preceding column we told about the D-day wreckage among our machines of war that were expended in taking one of the Normandy beaches.

But there is another and more human litter. It extends in a thin little line, just like a high-water mark, for miles along the beach.

This is the strewn personal gear, gear that will never be needed again, of those who fought and died to give us our entrance into Europe.

Here in a jumbled row for mile on mile are soldiers’ packs.

Here are socks and shoe polish, sewing kits, diaries, Bibles and hand grenades. Here are the latest letters from home, with the address on each one neatly razored out – one of the security precautions enforced before the boys embarked.

Here are toothbrushes and razors, and snapshots of families back home staring up at you from the sand. Here are pocketbooks, metal mirrors, extra trousers, and bloody, abandoned shoes. Here are broken-handled shovels, and portable radios smashed almost beyond recognition, and mine detectors twisted and ruined.

Here are torn pistol belts and canvas water buckets, first-aid kits and jumbled heaps of lifebelts. I picked up a pocket Bible with a soldier’s name in it, and put it in my jacket. I carried it half a mile or so and then put it back down on the beach. I don’t know why I picked it up, or why I put it back down.

Soldiers carry strange things ashore with them. In every invasion you’ll find at least one soldier hitting the beach at H-hour with a banjo slung over his shoulder. The most ironic piece of equipment marking our beach – this beach of first despair, then victory – is a tennis racket that some soldier had brought along.

It lies lonesomely on the sand, clamped in its rack, not a string broken.

Two of the most dominant items in the beach refuse are cigarets and writing paper. Each soldier was issued a carton of cigarets just before he started. Today these cartons by the thousand, water- soaked and spilled out, mark the line of our first savage blow.

Writing paper and air-mail envelopes come second. The boys had intended to do a lot of writing in France. Letters that would have filled those blank, abandoned pages.

Always there are dogs in every invasion. There is a dog still on the beach today, still pitifully looking for his masters.

He stays at the water’s edge, near a boat that lies twisted and half sunk at the water line. He barks appealingly to every soldier who approaches, trots eagerly along with him for a few feet, and then, sensing himself unwanted in all this haste, runs back to wait in vain for his own people at his own empty boat. ********** Over and around this long thin line of personal anguish, fresh men today are rushing vast supplies to keep our armies pushing on into France. Other squads of men pick amidst the wreckage to salvage ammunition and equipment that are still usable.

Men worked and slept on the beach for days before the last D-day victim was taken away for burial.

I stepped over the form of one youngster whom I thought dead. But when I looked down I saw he was only sleeping. He was very young, and very tired. He lay on one elbow, his hand suspended in the air about six inches from the ground. And in the palm of his hand he held a large, smooth rock.

I stood and looked at him a long time. He seemed in his sleep to hold that rock lovingly, as though it were his last link with a vanishing world. I have no idea at all why he went to sleep with the rock in his hand, or what kept him from dropping it once he was asleep. It was just one of those little things without explanation that a person remembers for a long time. ********** The strong, swirling tides of the Normandy coastline shift the contours of the sandy beach as they move in and out. They carry soldiers’ bodies out to sea, and later they return them. They cover the corpses of heroes with sand, and then in their whims they uncover them.

As I plowed out over the wet sand of the beach on that first day ashore, I walked around what seemed to be a couple of pieces of driftwood sticking out of the sand. But they weren’t driftwood.

They were a soldier’s two feet. He was completely covered by the shifting sands except for his feet. The toes of his GI shoes pointed toward the land he had come so far to see, and which he saw so briefly.

Shelburne Baptist Church is celebrating its 150th anniversary this coming Sunday, June 9. Normal services will be held with a traditional pot luck meal following church. That afternoon, during the June meetinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, the new addition to the church will be dedicated as well as memories and comments given from former pastors. Anyone who has been to or has had family members connected to the church are encouraged to attend the event, which is open to the public.

We have broken a record.

Flood water lapped at the step to the porch of our home, which was built in 1902.

From that date, flood water has never entered the house. I was not very comfortable

about our odds this time around. Even though it reached the highest level we know of, we were spared. I did not pray that God would preserve our house, but I did pray that He would show us what to do if it would happen to take on water. At 3:30 a.m., the water crested at our home near the Thompson River and started to recede. You don't realize what a strain you are under until you know you don't have to mud out your house. I might have sobbed in relief. Although many of the out-buildings, equipment and tractor shed took on impressive amounts of muddy water, a bit of muscle, clean water and great neighbors helped dry out things. A few more days of warm dry weather and the fields should be dry enough to go try to pull some logs out.

How do these big logs float so far and then are almost too heavy to drag back out? To the dear folks that have endured flooding of their homes, I give my heartfelt sympathy and many prayers. This is a mess.

Dear Annie: Growing up, my siblings and I would make fun of my mom's snoring all the time. To be fair, the noise seemingly could wake the dead; she sounded like she was sawing logs every night. Her snoring became one of our favorite family jokes, and to this day it's brought up on a pretty regular basis.

Recently, I discovered that my mom almost didn't go on a trip to Italy with a group of friends because she was scared that no one would be able to stay in her room because of her snoring. And this fear has contributed to some serious insomnia. I hadn't realized the extent of her anxiety around the topic until learning that.

And now I feel really guilty for all the times I've made fun of her. Now when I tell her it's not that bad, she doesn't believe me. Annie, I don't know how to make up for years of teasing my mom without being able to turn back the clock. -Restless Nights Dear Restless Nights: It doesn't do anyone any good to feel guilty while dwelling on past regrets. What's done is done. When you know better, 10 DAYS

Heavy load for FedEx

Adding to FedEx’s load is a recent controversy over its diversion of a few packages intended for Chinese tech giant Huawei. China’s state-run Xinhua news agency said the government is investigating whether FedEx is harming Chinese customers and violating delivery rules after Huawei complained.

The Wall Street Journal reports the packages were redirected to the U.S. instead of China because of a sorting error resulting from FedEx’s attempt to comply with Trump administration sanctions on Huawei.

Any limits on FedEx in China would be damaging. UBS estimates that China represents 6% of FedEx’s revenue, or about $4.5 billion a year.

Fans of online shopping are probably cheering FedEx for deciding to deliver packages seven days a week all year.

Skeptics worry it could hurt the bottom line.

UBS analyst Thomas Wadewitz says the rollout of year-round, everyday service runs the risk of hurting margins and earnings per share. He wonders whether FedEx will grow too quickly in consumer shipments instead of higher-margin business-to-business deliveries.

Since April 18, FedEx shares were down 23.1% through Monday, compared with a 17.5% drop at rival UPS. Both are weighed down by concern about slower global economic growth.

you do better, and it sounds like you now realize that teasing your mom about snoring was not a helpful thing to do.

But clearly you already know that because you are writing to me about it. Say sorry and make amends. Instead of focusing on what you did wrong in the past, tell your mother about all those things that she did right during your childhood.

Praising her and building her up could help alleviate some of the anxiety. If snoring is truly preventing your mom from having fun with friends, encourage her to seek professional help. There are doctors who have become experts on techniques to limit snoring, and it sounds like she would be grateful for any help she can get.

Dear Annie: "Stylish" wrote to you for advice because her mentor suggested that she dress in a stylish manner at all times, and she said she could not afford expensive clothes. You made several suggestions, and I am writing to offer one more. "Stylish" could check out some of the available how-to books on

wardrobe planning. If "Stylish" knows how to sew, or is motivated to learn, she would find that making her own clothes can also be affordable.

-- Sew It Yourself Dear Sew It Yourself: What a great suggestion!

Sewing has many benefits, and you can learn at any age.

Sewing has been known to fight dementia because it requires remembering and working through many steps, which keeps the brain active. To sew, you need to think creatively, which improves the brain's ability to grow new brain cells and strengthens neural pathways that might otherwise degenerate. Because it requires such attention to detail, sewing improves hand-eye coordination. Sewing can also help reduce stress. When you concentrate on one particular task when sewing, it can feel almost like a moving meditation, allowing you to unwind.

Lastly, sewing promotes feelings of joy and satisfaction for creating something from scratch. Thank you so much for reminding all of us of this wonderful alternative.
