1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

3. Roll out 1 pastry dough disk, line pie dish, trim to 1/2″ from edge, fill with strawberry/rhubarb filling.
4. Roll out the second dough disk, place on top of filling, trim the edges to an inch from the edge of the pie dish, crimp and score.
5. Place pie on the middle rack and place baking sheet on the lower rack to catch any juices that might spill over. Bake for 20 minutes at 400 degrees, then reduce the heat to 350 degrees and bake an additional 40-50 minutes. The pie is done when the crust is nicely browned and the filling is thick and bubbly. Remove from oven and let cool on a rack. Serve warm or cold. If you do cool to room temperature, the juices will have more time to thicken.

MASON CITY, Iowa (AP) — Mason City’s mayor says a Minnesota tomato grower is proposing to build a hydroponic facility in a Mason City industrial park. Mayor Bill Schickel announced Monday that Owatonna, Minnesota-based Bushel Boy is planning a $35 million project that would occupy about 80 acres and could bring 50 new jobs to Mason City.
The city would have to pay about $223,000 for its 20 percent share of the cost to build a two-lane road for the facility. The state would pay the rest of the cost if a development grant is approved. The city also would have to extend water and sewer lines to the site.
Sheriff’s officials in Mills County, Monday, released a report on arrests. Just before 3-a.m. Saturday, 24-year old Kenneth Wayne Gerner, of Bellevue, NE., was arrested for Possession of a Controlled Substance (Bond $1,000). Friday night, 20-year old Destiny Skie Zaner, of Council Bluffs, was arrested for Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, and cited for having no valid driver’s license (Bond $300). Early Friday morning, 39-year old Brian James Johnson, of Des Moines, was arrested at the Mills County Jail for Forgery and Driving under suspension (Bond $5,300).
Thursday morning, 20-year old Chase Zachary Stewart, of Council Bluffs, was arrested at the Pottawattamie County Jail on a Mills County warrant for Probation Violation (Bond $5,000). And, Thursday night, 43-year old Ian Leigh McClinton, of Omaha, was arrested on I-29 for Possession of a Controlled Substance/2nd offense, and no valid driver’s license (Bond $1,300).
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The Des Moines City Council intends to consider banning high-capacity magazines and trigger devices that make guns even more deadly. The council unanimously backed a motion Monday to have ordinances prepared for banning the magazines and trigger activators such as bump stocks. Stocks such as those used in the 2017 Las Vegas mass shooting let semi-automatic guns fire nearly as fast as fully automatic machine guns.
Council Josh Mandelbaum made the motion, and he says the council doesn’t intend to come “after every gun in town.” He says city leaders do intend, however, to “protect our citizens from mass shootings.”
The federal government already has banned bump stocks. Several states and cities have banned high-capacity magazines such as those used last week by a man who killed 12 people at a municipal building in Virginia.
