(Radio Iowa) – Veterans will get a chance to tell their story and have it preserved at the Library of Congress this weekend in central Iowa. Sara Robinson does the interviews as part of the Iowa Veterans’ Perspective organization she founded. “I travel all over the state depending on who wants to host me. The local libraries usually know the veterans in the area — so I am able to coordinate with them in order to bring in the local veterans in places like Newton, Guttenberg, Sioux City,” she says.
Her next event is Saturday at the Urbandale Public Library. Robinson is a member of the Iowa National Guard and says her family’s long military history spurred her to do this. “It’s a part of the Library of Congress’ Veterans History Project, so they have kind of a script that I go by that just asks generic questions about their life, because once you know a little bit more about a person’s life — you definitely know more about our nation’s history,” Robinson explains. She believes her own background makes it easier to get the veterans to open up. “I’ve actually found that as a veteran myself, since I can talk the talk, I am able to get them to open up to me a little bit more,” according to Robinson. “Because I know those little nuances in the conversation — such as the difference between boot camp and basic training — and we’re speaking this language that every veteran speaks, which is the language of veterans.”
She makes appointments for the interviews so there is time for the stories and so veterans don’t have to wait. You can sign up online. “My website is www.vetstories.org, or you can just go to Google and type in Iowa Veterans’ Perspective and it will take you to all my different social media platforms, and you are able to send me messages that way,” she says. Robinson says any libraries that would like to host a session can also contact her. She says the interviews are an hour to an hour-and-a-half and then volunteers package up the interviews and send them to the Library of Congress for historical preservation.
The Veterans Interview Day Saturday has appointments starting at 9:00 a-m and running until 6:00 p-m. Veterans of all wars and representing all military branches are encouraged to register to share their stories. If you have questions about the interview process, contact Sara at Iowa Veterans’ Perspective at 515-710-9869.
(Radio Iowa) – A line of severe storms swept through Iowa Wednesday, with trained spotters confirming more than a dozen tornadoes. Tornadoes started touching the ground in north central Iowa late Wednesday afternoon, along the Highway 20 corridor and to the east of Interstate 35. Just after 10 p.m., National Weather Service radar confirmed a tornado east of Monticello. Farmsteads, the school bus shed in Lake City, the football stadium in Oelwein and the sale barn in Manchester are among the facilities damaged. Just before 8 pm, spotters reported a tornado on the ground southwest of Manchester and another touchdown to the north. Delaware County Emergency Management Director Mike Ryan. “I thought: ‘Oh no, here we go. We’ve finally got that one night where we’ve got one that cuts a path through town on us,'” he says. “It affected some folks and then it just dissipated.”
There was minor damage to a convenience store’s building and vehicles on the lot. The Delaware County Fair is underway this week and about 15-hundred people were evacuated from the fairgrounds. Ryan says about five years ago, the fair board updated its emergency response plans. “We did a two-and-a-half hour exercise where we challenged that plan this spring,” Ryan says, “and tonight’s an example of why we do this stuff.” A tornado touched down west of Lake City shortly before 4 p.m. Eric Wood is the city administrator in Lake City. “A lot of trees, most of the power lines are down,” he says.”The school’s bus barn lost its roof. Bowie International lost a roof on a building and then it continued east out of town.”
A month ago, Dobson Pipe Organ Builders in Lake City was destroyed by fire and this is the second tornado in six years to hit the community. “We feel like we’re a little snake bitten in town right now with the Dobson fire and six years ago,” he says. “Luckily this didn’t do any more damage. We had our public works crews out right away. We had a couple of volunteers running some skid loaders and a couple of other things. We have the trees pushed off the roads.”
The storm system also produced some downpours and flash flooding in the state. More than five-and-a-half inches of rain was reported near Maxwell.
