PERRY, Iowa (AP) — Officials say four workers have been injured in an accident at a Tyson Fresh Meats plant in the central Iowa town of Perry. The accident occurred around 11:40 a.m. Monday Two of the workers were flown to the burn center at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics in Iowa City. The two other workers were treated at the plant. None of their names have been released.

Chief Deputy Adam Infante of the Dallas County Sheriff’s Office says the four appeared to have been burned by steam. He says there was no fire at the plant.

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AP) — The Iowa Board of Regents is expected to vote Wednesday on a proposal to buy the Cedar Falls business that sells and rents textbooks and classroom materials to University of Northern Iowa students. The nearly $3 million requested would be used to buy University Book and Supply’s inventory, equipment and other assets, as well as Hawkeye Bookstore, which the business operates at Hawkeye Community College in Waterloo.

Iowa State University and the University of Iowa own and operate bookstores on their campuses. Michael Hager is University of Northern Iowa’s senior vice president for finance and operations, and he says the university would operate the bookstore as a “not-for-profit entity, which will offer students the lowest possible pricing.”
