MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa (AP) – Authorities are investigating what caused a methane-fueled fire at the JBS pork plant in Marshalltown. Firetrucks were dispatched to the plant’s methane collection lagoon about 10:30 a.m. Saturday. Firefighters and JBS staffers isolated the plant from the methane collection system to prevent any gas exposure to the plant itself.
Officials say it took about three hours to extinguish the blaze. No injuries have been reported. JBS officials estimate damage at $500,000 and say the plant remains in production.

National School Choice Week takes place this week in Iowa and across the country. There are 207 events planned in the Hawkeye State to raise awareness about K-12 school choice, and 21,392 events nationwide. The events in Iowa, which are independently planned and independently funded, include everything from information sessions and open houses at schools to rallies, policy discussions, and movie screenings organized by community groups. Highlighted events include a large school choice celebration January 25 at 10:00 a.m. at the State Historic Building Auditorium, in Des Moines.
The counties of Monona, Dallas, and Jackson and cities of Burlington, Calmar, Cedar Rapids, Council Bluffs, Davenport, Grimes, Maquoketa, Melcher-Dallas, Milford, Perry, Polk City, and Webster City have issued official proclamations recognizing January 22nd-through the 28th, 2017 as “School Choice Week.”
National School Choice Week provides families in Iowa with the opportunity to research and evaluate the K-12 school choices available for their children in advance of the 2017-2018 school year. The Week also raises awareness of the importance of providing every child with effective education options.
With a goal of raising public awareness of effective education options for children, National School Choice Week will be the largest celebration of education options in US history.
SCHOOL CHOICE OPTIONS AVAILABLE FOR IOWA FAMILIES
According to National School Choice Week’s organizers, families in Iowa can use the Week to look for K-12 schools for the 2017-2018 school year. Parents in the Hawkeye State can choose from the following education options for their children: traditional public schools, public charter schools, magnet schools, online academies, private schools, and homeschooling. In some parts of the state, open enrollment policies allow parents to select the best traditional public school, regardless of where the school is located. The state also has programs allowing qualifying children, in some cases, to receive scholarships or tax credits to attend private schools.
ABOUT NATIONAL SCHOOL CHOICE WEEK
National School Choice Week is an independent public awareness effort spotlighting effective education options for children, including traditional public schools, public charter schools, magnet schools, private schools, online learning, and homeschooling. The Week runs from January 22-28, 2017. For more information, visit www.schoolchoiceweek.com.
Gasoline prices have remained relatively stable in the last couple of months. Iowa Department of Agriculture fuels analyst Harold Hommes, says there haven’t been any surprises in the market other than the recent report on inventories. “It was a big surprise actually, inventories of both refined gasoline and crude. Both of which were expected to show some declines, but it looks like production of crude is up and those refineries are running at 92-93 percent are kicking out gasoline at levels that are increasing inventories,” Hommes says.
He says that’s good news as it keeps the price down for motorists, but it’s not such good news for those who sell the product. “That’s a challenge the industry’s got to deal with — so we may see some softening of gas prices in the next week or two,” Hommes says.
The most recent survey showed the average price of a gallon of unleaded gas in Iowa was two dollars, 36 cents. That was the same as the week before. Hommes says the continuing supply glut will continue to benefit drivers at the pump. He says the long term reaction to the supplies should make things flat, or there could be some slightly falling prices. Hommes says he expects to see some stronger crude oil prices in the long term which would bump prices up by the summer driving season.
Gas prices bumped up 10 to 15 cents a couple of weeks ago, in a move that Hommes says was likely an attempt by retailers to make some more profit as last year in late January and February the gas prices softened. “This time there were some pressures on those values, and most recently they’ve put that added dime on there — 15 cents — to try and recover some of those margins,” Hommes says.
The price last week was 52 cents higher than one year ago. The national average gas price was two dollars, 34 cents, two cents below Iowa’s average.
