(Radio Iowa) – A procession that part of a Catholic National Eucharistic Pilgrimage will pass through Iowa. Father Jacob Epstein of the Corpus Christi Catholic Church in Council Bluffs says four pilgrimages will merge into one.
The procession that started in California makes its way into Iowa and for a mass at Tom Hanafan’s River’s Edge Park Sunday at 1:45 before making its way through Omaha into Iowa and eventually to Father Epstein’s church.
The procession will stop at several Iowa churches before making its way to Indianapolis.
Father Epstein says this event is rare.
The procession will leave the Corpus Christi Parish Monday afternoon at 12:45 following a mass.
(Radio Iowa) – There’s still no drought in Iowa, but the number of counties where the soil is considered abnormally dry has almost doubled in the past week, bouncing from around 16 counties to nearly 31, according to the latest U-S Drought Monitor map. Angie Rieck Hinz, a field agronomist with the Iowa State University Extension, says crop conditions in her region of north-central Iowa are improving.
It requires a delicate balance of both rain and sunshine to grow crops, and this season’s been heavy on the rain so far, as a change of pace from nearly four years of drought. Rieck Hinz says the gusty winds are also an issue.
Iowa’s backyard gardeners know how tough it is to keep out the weeds, so imagine what it’s like for farmers with a few hundred acres of crops. She says weeds are sprouting in many fields right and left.
Forecasters say temperatures will rise back into the 80s and 90s today (Friday) and for the next several days across much of Iowa, with the chance for scattered showers through Saturday.
Today: Sunny, with a high near 87. South wind 5 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph.
Tonight: A chance of showers and thunderstorms, partly cloudy, with a low around 73. South wind 10 to 15 mph, with gusts as high as 25 mph.
Saturday: A chance of showers and thunderstorms, partly sunny, with a high near 88. South southwest wind 10 to 15 mph becoming west in the afternoon. Winds could gust as high as 25 mph.
Sunday: Sunny, with a high near 89.
Monday: Sunny, with a high near 95.
Tuesday: A chance of showers and thunderstorms. Mostly sunny, with a high near 94.
Thursday’s high was 84 degrees and this morning’s low was 66. This day last year in Atlantic the high was 91 and the low 61. The record high on this date is 101 degrees set in 1988 and the record low set in 1902 is 38 degrees. Sunrise this morning was at 5:46 am. Sunset this evening is at 8:57 pm. Saturday’s sunrise will be at 5:46 am.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, IOWA — Officials with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) report, that at around 8:52-a.m. Thursday, June 20th, the Council Bluffs Fire Department notified the Iowa DNR Field Office of an approximate 900-gallon release of tack, an asphalt adhesive with a 60/40 blend of water and asphalt, into a storm drain at 8th Street and Broadway in Council Bluffs.
The release was the result of a semi-truck rollover accident. The driver suffered non-life threatening injuries. His name was not officially released. Authorities say the company responsible for the release was Henningsen Construction, of Atlantic.
The product flowed into a storm drain, which empties into Indian Creek and, then the Missouri River. City crews on-site were able to close the storm drain within minutes after the release. However, an unknown amount did flow through the storm drain into Indian Creek. A sheen was observed on Indian Creek downstream of the release.
The city officials and fire department staff worked together towards clean-up efforts. An underflow dam was placed at the bridge of 16th Avenue. Additionally, booms and sphag sorb are being used to help stop and remove product in Indian Creek.
Residents are asked to stay away from the area. DNR staff will monitor cleanup and containment. The DNR will consider appropriate enforcement action.
The Riverside Bulldogs softball team had a 10-0 victory over the Shenandoah Fillies on Thursday night in Oakland. The major factor for the Bulldogs success against the Fillies was the excellent pitching from 8th grader Peyton Schafer inside the circle. Schafer had little difficult controlling the Shenandoah batters leaving two runners stranded multiple times throughout the evening. Schafer pitched 6 innings, had 9 strikeouts, 4 hits, 1 walk, and no runs.
When it came to batting Riverside stayed consistent scoring at least 1 run in five of six innings and having 10 hits. Schafer hit well at the plate going 2-3 with an RBI and a homerun. Kaycie Perkins also had a triple with 2 RBI’s and 2 walks. The Bulldogs were up 4-0 heading into the bottom of the sixth where they poured in six runs to achieve the run rule at 10-0.
Riverside Head Coach Lacie Patterson was impressed with the way her team managed to correct their mistakes throughout the ball game.
Coach Patterson also gave credit to the way Schafer shined on the night.
The win bumps Riverside’s record to 13-9 on the year. The Bulldogs next game will be at home on Friday against Logan Magnolia. Coach Patterson wants to see her team’s passion carry over into their contest against the Panthers.
Shenandoah’s loss marks them at 9-12 for the season and their next matchup will be in Fremont Mills on Saturday.
