(Radio Iowa) – Northwest Iowa agencies began getting 9-1-1 calls at about seven this (Wednesday) morning about a large fire at the Casey’s along Highway 18 on the west side of Hull. The Hull Fire Department responded and found the roof area of the business engulfed by fire. Employees were inside when the fire started and also reported an explosion that occurred inside shortly after flames and smoke were seen.
All of the employees were able to safely evacuate the business and no one was injured. Fire departments from Sioux Center and Rock Valley assisted in putting the fire out. No damage estimates have been made and the fire remains under investigation.
(Radio Iowa) – Officials in 44 Iowa counties have now taken action to express concerns about the three proposed carbon pipelines. In the last week, the Adair and Floyd County Boards of Supervisors have sent letters to state regulators. Floyd County Supervisor Linda Tjaden says the proposed Summit and Navigator pipeline routes pass through Floyd County.
The letters express concern about training for emergency crews who’d have to respond to pipeline ruptures, as well as potential construction damage to land and drainage tiles. The letter about the Summit route also mentions it would pass through the Avenue of the Saints Development Park in Charles City and the pipeline could damage electrical, water and sewage utilities in the area.
The letter from the Floyd County supervisors also expresses concern about the use of eminent domain for a private purpose. State law allows pipeline developers to apply for eminent domain authority to gain access to properties where landowners have refused to grant voluntary easements.
The Adair County Board of Supervisors has sent the Iowa Utilities Board a letter, saying the board is not oppose to the purpose or construction of the pipeline, but is opposed to eminent domain being used as a way of achieving it. None of the three proposed pipeline routes run through Adair County, but there are nearby ethanol plants in Menlo and Corning. If those facilities are connected to a carbon capture pipeline in the future, the route would likely pass through Adair County.

Iowa has fared well against highly ranked teams at home and the Hawkeyes will get another chance on Saturday by hosting fourth ranked Michigan. Iowa has won five of its last six games at home against teams ranked in the top five and coach Kirk Ferentz says home field advantage is part of it.
Ferentz says teams like Michigan can strike with big plays in every phase and it takes a complete effort to have a chance.
Ferentz says while the Hawkeyes do not view this as a revenge game Michigan’s 42-3 win over the Hawkeyes in last year’s Big Ten Championship game is in hot rotation at the football facility.
Michigan jumped on the Hawks with two big plays early and Iowa never even fired a shot.
The Iowa defense has a big challenge trying to slow down Michigan running back Blake Corum.
On the injury front senior corner Terry Roberts may play but Ferentz says the Hawks will be without receiver Keagan Johnson and linebacker Jestin Jacobs.
Iowa State coach Matt Campbell says he is not surprised by the turnaround at Kansas. The Jayhawks are off to a 4-0 start, the most wins by a KU team since the 2009 squad finished 5-7.
The Jayhawks started 1-8 a year ago under coach Lance Leipold before posting a stunning victory at Texas late in the season.
Dual threat quarterback Jalon Daniels has 11 touchdown passes for the Jayhawks and has rushed for four others.
Daniels leads a Kansas offense that is averaging 47 points per game.
Campbell says the Kansas run game will be a challenge for the Cyclone defense.
(Radio Iowa) Iowa casinos on the western side of the state now facing some competition from Nebraska, as the Warhorse Casino in Lincoln is now operating after approval from state regulators. Nebraska’s first casino is run by Ho-Chunk Incorporated, the economic development arm of the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska. C-E-O Lance Morgan says they are going to stop some of the money moving out of Nebraska into Iowa.
They started with slot machines in a building in Lincoln and will build that up and also plan to build a casino in Omaha and eventually South Sioux City. Morgan says he has no qualms about challenging Iowa for the gamblers — and knows it will be a competition.
He says they are starting with the Lincoln and Omaha facilities because they are in an area with one-point-three million people.
The temporary Warhorse Casino in Lincoln began operating Saturday.
