Officials in Council Bluffs reported late Monday evening that the State Medical Examiner’s Lab in Ankeny was unable to positively identifiy the remains of an adult female and young male who were found near Lake Manawa Sunday. Council Bluffs Police say the task of identifying the deceased is being made more difficult due to the condition of their remains. Officials say the Medical Examiner is continuing to use scientific identification techniques to obtain a postive I.D., but there is no time frame available as to how long that process may take.
Authorities are seeking to determine whether the bodies are those of 41-year-old Charlotte Schilling and her 10-year-old son, Owen, who have been missing from their home in Plattsmouth, Neb., since May 10th. Police say Schilling’s vehicle was found near Lake Manawa, which is located just south of Council Bluffs. Schilling’s wallet and cellphone were in the car.
A southwest Iowa teen riding on his father’s tractor was injured late Monday evening during a farming accident about three-miles east of Emerson. The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office says 13-year old Cody Parker, of Henderson was hit in the throat by an unknown piece of debris as a mower operated by his father Joseph Parker, also of Henderson, was mowing a field. The accident happened at around 8:35-p.m, about one-half mile south of 201st Street and about one-half mile west of A Avenue in Montgomery County.
Officials say Red Oak Rescue personnel arrived at the scene and provided treatment to the teen prior to his being transported to the 59 Short Stop. From there he was flown by LifeNet helicopter to Omaha for additional treatment of his injuries, which officials believed were not life threatening. Red Oak Rescue was assisted by Emerson First Responders, and deputies with the Montgomery and Mills County Sheriff’s Offices.

The latest crop report shows a big part of the planting season is done. The report from the U-S-D-A shows 98-percent of the corn acres have been planted, with a few farmers replanting corn that was washed out by April rains. The report shows 81-percent of the corn crop has emerged, which is one week ahead of normal. Twenty-one-percent of the corn is rated excellent and 60-percent is rated good. Just one percent is rated very poor and two percent poor. On the soybean side — planting jump up 46-percentage points to make the work 85-percent complete. That’s ahead of the 69-percent of the beans that were planted at this time last year and well ahead of the five-year average of 60-percent. The report says farmers in north central Iowa planted 55-percent of their beans last week, the most in the state. So far 26-percent of the beans have emerged, which is ahead of last year’s 16-percent and the five-year average of 13-percent.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Lance Berkman of the St. Louis Cardinals will be sidelined at least six to eight weeks with an injured right knee. The team said Monday that Berkman will have an arthroscopic procedure later this week in Vail, Colo. General manager John Mozeliak said an MRI on the 36-year-old Berkman did not appear to show that his ligament was compromised. Berkman, who met reporters after walking across the clubhouse on crutches, was hurt Saturday making a routine stretch to receive a throw. Berkman was placed on the 15-day disabled list on Sunday. Rookie Matt Adams and Matt Carpenter will see time at first base. Berkman has played just 13 games, also missing significant time with a pulled left calf muscle. He was batting .333 with a home run and four RBIs.
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Tyler Greene hit a go-ahead two-run homer in the bottom of the eighth, trumping Jesus Guzman’s two-run double in the top half, as the St. Louis Cardinals beat the San Diego Padres 4-3 to snap a four-game losing streak Monday night. Jaime Garcia allowed two runs and struck out seven in seven-plus innings for the injury-riddled Cardinals, who held their half-game lead over Cincinnati in the NL Central. St. Louis has won just three of its last 11. Clayton Richard got the first out in the eighth before the Padres went to the bullpen. Yadier Molina hit a broken-bat single with one out off Andrew Cashner (2-3) and with two outs, Greene homered to right-center for his third hit. Jason Motte (3-1) allowed Guzman’s two-run double in the eighth for his second blown save in three chances, but finished off the win.
