On Tuesday afternoon the DNR announced that it received reports last week of dead fish being seen in Dean Lake, located on the southeast side of Des Moines. The DNR also said that dark-colored water and a strong, septic smell were being reported at the lake.

Des Moines car show featuring lowriders to benefit St. Jude Children's Hospital
DES MOINES, Iowa — A car show featuring lowriders at Water Works Park this weekend will benefit the St. Jude Children's Hospital. This is the fifth year of the Lowdown Roundup car show. The show features any vehicle that has a modified suspension, as well as muscle cars, imports, hot rods, and rat rods. The main requirement – no stock vehicles. Forecast: Heat builds, smoke lingers There will also be a number of different contests for the register show vehicles and attendees. One such contest includes the Lowest Limbo contest, where show vehicles will have to travel under a limbo stick with their own power. Event organizers say the car show is a family friendly event and hope to see many people attend. 'So, we are on the west side of Water Works, so we have this entire west loop so we have plenty of room to grow when it comes to the actual show. And then we have the entire loop, which is about two and a half miles where we can kind of cruise around and show off our cars,' Heidi Henckel, event director, said. 'We do a low limbo. So it's primarily a limbo for vehicles so we can see who sets the lowest. And all are welcome. Custom vehicles, lifted, trucks, imports, lowriders, mini trucks, classics, rat rods. It'll all be here.' Tickets to the car show are $5 for adults and free for kids. Event organizers say all proceeds made from the car show will go to the St. Jude Children's Hospital.
