Looking for someone to do yardwork

I was looking for someone to do some yard work in New Madrid, Mo. Probably a little tiller work and possibly bush hog. I need to do some leveling and put some bare dirt between a lot and our property cause grass is growing pretty high. And also trimming some trees. Please call me at 521-7135 and I’ll return your call. It isn’t a lot of work but we need to get it cleaned up. Thank you.

Is west end of Sikeston in flood zone?

Yes, I put in for a DAEOC and they wrote me a letter and told me they cannot help nobody on the west side, not even the upper part of west side because we are in a flood zone. I’ve been here over 30 years and I have never heard that before. And I would like to know if that is the truth, what DAEOC is saying. Thank you.

Several years ago FEMA changed what was a flood zone in Sikeston and a lot of the area was encompassed. You can call the city and find out if you are in fact in a flood zone.
