(Radio Iowa) – Honor flights for local military veterans to fly to Washington D-C. to visit the memorials honoring their service and sacrifice will begin again next month. All expenses are paid for those veterans through donations, and the Sioux City Musketeers hockey team presented a check Thursday to sponsor the next 84 World War Two, Korean and Vietnam veterans making the flight to the nation’s capital. Travis Morgan along with team owner Lloyd Ney presented a check for 85-thousand700 dollars to honor flight representatives in Sioux City
“We were able to raise almost 90-thousand dollars in jersey sales during last year and this year to sponsor one of the greatest causes you could possibly ask for,” he says. Vietnam veteran, Richard Storm of Sioux City flew on the last honor flight back in October. He served in Vietnam for one year starting in March of 1970. “When we got off the plane until we got on the bus, the entire concourse was lined with volunteers, welcoming us back, cheering, and sorry, I get a little teared up here, I told my children and my grandchildren this is the welcome back we never got,” Storm says.
Storm says after coming home from his Vietnam service he was looked at differently than he is today, so he did not talk about his service for years. “For years and years, I mean, I never said anything about my service and never told my children about it. I never showed them pictures, didn’t join veterans groups until maybe, probably about 15 years ago, just never was involved,” Storm says. ” And I would say in the last 10 years, you know, it’s been an honor to be a Vietnam veteran. We’re a brotherhood, and we’ll be all I think for the rest of our lives.”
This will be the 9th Midwest honor flight, and it will leave on May 14th.
CLIVE, Iowa — A southwest Iowa man has now won two big lottery prizes in two years. Today (Friday), Delbert Littleton, of Atlantic, claimed the first of eight top prizes of $100,000 available in the “Power 10X” scratch game. In June 2020, he had won a prize of $25,000 a year for life in the Lucky for Life lotto game, and chose to receive his winnings in the lump-sum option of $390,000.
As with his first win, Littleton said he was in his kitchen when he realized this week that he’d hit big. “It kind of took my breath away,” he said. “My heart started racing. I went into the living room and had to sit down for a second. And once I collected my thoughts, I went ahead and called my wife on the phone. And I had to pull the phone away from my ear because she yelled as soon as I told her!”
When he realized he won big in 2020, Littleton said he and his wife danced for joy in the kitchen. This time, he startled their dog a bit. “He probably thought I was crazy because I was just running around,” Littleton said. “He got up real quick and his ears perked up and he just looked at me. He probably thought something was wrong.”
The 64-year-old Littleton, who works at an assisted-living facility, said he bought some tickets in the Power 10X game because it was new. He ended up with three winning tickets in a row: A $20 winner that he redeemed for two more tickets in the game. One of those was a $10 winner and the other won a $100,000 prize.
Power 10X is a $10 scratch game that just began sales on April 5. Its tickets feature green-and-yellow graphics of arcing electricity. Prizes in the game range from $10 up to $100,000. Littleton bought his $100,000-winning ticket at Murphy USA, 1903 E. Seventh St. in Atlantic.
After his 2020 win, Littleton said that he and his wife, Jodi, followed through on their plans to buy a new house and get new vehicles. With this win, he has concrete plans again. “I’m getting kind of tired of doing the push mower thing,” he said “So I’m going to get a riding lawnmower. And the rest, we’re going to be able to take more in vacation this year and the rest of it, just stash it like we did the first time.”
Littleton said he considers this win “a little icing on the cake.” “It gives me a nice perspective on retirement,” he said. “It makes the thought of retirement a little more relaxing.”
(Logan, Iowa)- Harrison County Emergency Management Coordinator Philip Davis, today (Friday), said an open burning ban proclamation has been issued for Harrison County starting, effective from Noon today (April 15, 2022) until further notice.
The burn ban prohibits all open burning in Harrison County. Although there has been recent moisture, the current weather forecast and environmental conditions indicate a very high fire danger. Under the current dry conditions, dead and drying vegetation is the perfect fuel to spread fires rapidly and constitutes a danger to life or property.
During these dry conditions, citizens are reminded to not throw out cigarettes from moving vehicles and to discontinue burning yard waste, piled tree debris, grass or agricultural grounds and other flammable items during the ban.
Davis said “So far this year, our volunteer fire departments have responded to 235 calls for service. In 2021, the total number of calls for service from the fire departments was just shy of 400 calls. We have seen abnormally dry to moderate drought conditions much of this year already, and these conditions create an extreme fire danger throughout the area.”
Violation of a burn ban can subject a person to citation or arrest for reckless use of fire or disobeying a burn ban. You could also be held liable for any damages caused as a result of the fire.
For updated information on burn bans please check the Harrison County EMA Facebook page or contact Harrison County Emergency Management at 712-644-2353. The ban will remain in place until environmental conditions improve.
