Drought relief possible as Gilbert nears Midwest
Iowa forecasters say Hurricane Gilbert could bring 2 to 4 inches of rain to drought-stricken sections of the Farm Belt even as the storm weakens after landfall in Texas. Climatologists note patterns shift to normal or above rainfall in coming weeks, with upper level systems steering more moisture into Iowa. Temperatures this summer were among the hottest on record and soil moisture is a concern for 1989 planting season.

Omaha tribe to open bingo hall in Thurston County
The Omaha Indian Reservation in Thurston County will host a new $4 million bingo hall expected to pull in up to 30 million annually. Missouri River Services Inc. president Larry Walters says 15,000 to 20,000 players from as far as Texas and Canada will visit. The hall will employ about 140 people, with 51 percent of profits to the tribe and a 3 percent revenue tax, and it is slated to open mid October.
