Iron County Republican Chris Dinkins says she's concerned for the safety of Missourians.Dinkins wrote a letter to Governor Mike Parson saying, "I lack faith in the Biden administration to properly vet refugees from Gaza to ensure we are not bringing a terrorist threat to American soil.

Dear Amy: My daughter and granddaughter are coming to spend 10 days with us over the Christmas holidays.I am dreading the visit because my 3-year-old granddaughter is unable to be around others without being the center of attention!If adults try to have a conversation she interrupts continuously, and if she has nothing to actually say, she just makes loud noises.It is beyond irritating.I try not to interfere with my daughter’s parenting, but I’m not sure how to survive 10 days of this, when even brief phone calls with the two of them make me crazy.Any advice?— Sad GrandmaDear Sad: It is extremely common for 3-year-old children to want to dominate their primary parent’s attention.Children learn not to do this through a combination of repeated reminders and distractions: “The adults are speaking to each other. You are interrupting. If you have something to say, you need to wait your turn.”You can also ask a 3-year-old to do a “job” for you, folding dish cloths or towels on the f...

It could have become Ikea furniture. Or a cardboard box.Instead, the tree grew to become part of a grand experiment in sustainable architecture — one that seeks to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and store carbon in revolutionary “mass timber” structures going up around the world.Constructing shelter from logs — Abe Lincoln-style — is old-school. Alongside stone, mud brick and animal skin, wood has been humanity’s go-to building material for low-rise dwellings for thousands of years.Story continues below advertisementBut this is a new dream for an old material.In this sylvan vision, wooden skylines will be erect...
