Members of the “Popcorn Button” band will once again take to the stage this weekend in Atlantic, for a night of music and dancing. The band will host a free, public dance at the Atlantic Elks Lodge on Saturday, July 12th, beginning at 7-pm and ending at 10. Dancers and listeners of all ages and abilities are invited to attend!
Popcorn Button consists of members of various different backgrounds. Many of the members hail from the Atlantic community, including current Atlantic High School Students, AHS alumni, as well as students from Iowa State University, the University of Iowa, the University of Northern Iowa, and also musicians from the community at large.
This dance, titled “Let Freedom Swing”, is a free public event. Everyone, no matter their dancing ability, is encouraged to attend. A free will donation will be accepted at the door to help defray costs of the event. All excess money will be given back to the community in the form of donations or through the Popcorn Button Community Music Scholarship, an award given to help young musicians pay the costs involved with attending band camps, honor hands, or taking private lessons.

Motorists are being reminded to be on the lookout for equipment that’ll be moving through Iowa’s roadside ditches soon. Bob Younie, with the Iowa Department of Transportation, says land owners and others who’ve obtained a permit are allowed to harvest hay from state highway roadsides. The annual program benefits both parties. “It gives farmers a chance to get some hay and it also means the DOT doesn’t have to put labor into doing the mowing and cutting down tall grass,” Younie said. The mowing and haying of roadsides is not allowed to start until July 15.

“The reason for that is to give ground nesting birds, pheasants and so on, a little bit of maturity so they can get out of the way of mowers and haying equipment,” Younie said. There’s no cost for farmers to obtain a permit from the DOT to harvest roadside hay. The permit simply outlines where the mowing and haying is allowed and various safety requirements, such as the use of a fluorescent green vest.
Those doing any haying are also asked to move big bales as soon as possible. “We don’t want those sitting on the right-of-way for any extended period of time,” Younie said. Only one cutting in a roadside area is allowed per year. The roadside harvesting and mowing takes place each year between July 15 and September 1.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The trend toward strong storms and too much rain is beginning to take a toll on Iowa crops. Farmers report yellowing corn plants, a sign of too much moisture, and stress to soybean plants. The U.S. Department of Agriculture says in its weekly crop update that 76 percent of Iowa corn is in good to excellent shape, a decrease of 3 percentage points from the week before. Soybeans are blooming ahead of schedule and 73 percent of the crop is good to excellent, condition, down 2 percentage points.
Farmers struggled to get into fields again last week, the third consecutive week farmers had fewer than three days to work in the fields. This time of year weed control spraying, adding supplemental nitrogen fertilizer, and baling hay are common activities.
A Council Bluffs woman charged with first-degree murder in the stabbing death last Friday of 52-year old Douglas Richt, remains in the Pottawattamie County Jail on one-half million dollars bond. The Daily NonPareil reports 45-year old Jodie M. Sherman faces first-degree murder and willful injury assault charges. She was also said to be in violation of a restraining order when she allegedly stabbed Richt in the neck several times, Friday afternoon. A preliminary hearing in her case is scheduled for July 17th.
Sgt. David Dawson with the Council Bluffs Police Department said officers inspecting the vehicle where the stabbing took place found a knife with a blade nearly 7 inches long on the floor of the driver’s side floor. An open liquor bottle was also found. Dawson said Richt came to the residence at 3501 Fifth Ave. to pick up Sherman, who had a room there. She got into the vehicle, a 1999 Saturn, that Richt was driving and a verbal argument ensued. The stabbing took place in the car, according to Dawson.
Sherman left the vehicle and fled on foot, but was quickly apprehended by a police officer. Witnesses said Richt exited the vehicle and attempted to crawl onto the porch of the residence. Paramedics transported Richt to Alegent Health Creighton University Medical Center, but he died on the way there.
An autopsy performed Saturday revealed a more than 4-inch-deep incision in Richt’s throat. Dawson said the two did have some sort of relationship, but a motive for the stabbing is still under investigation.
