Why Parents First? Consider the significance of putting on your own oxygen mask on an airplane before assisting others. What's the reason for this? If you don't take care of yourself first, you will not have enough oxygen to help those around you.

We mailed 1,764 ballots in the initial batch today. All of our official election mail has this logo printed on it.
You can request a mail ballot through Oct. 29.
Mail ballots can be returned several ways.

Please make sure to sign the ballot in the appropriate place, and place the ballot inside the accompanying envelope.
Early in-person voting begins Oct. 22, and continues through Nov. 4 at noon. Election Day is Nov. 5.
Whether it's your first time or you haven't been in a while, now is a picturesque time to visit our hiking trails!The forecast shows sunshine and highs in the 70s coming up over the next several days - a great time to check out the fall colors throughout Harvey County Parks. East Park and West Park have more than 10 combined miles of dedicated trails to navigate.
West Park offers views around the lake in a longer, more wooded trek. East Park features the Osage Nature Trail, which is great for families. And while Camp Hawk doesn't have dedicated trail routes, there's plenty of room to wander and explore.
If you're heading out for some time on the trails, here's a handy map of our three county parks. FYI, seasonal limited hunting has begun in a few specific parts of East Park - these areas are marked with signs, and a map of those areas is available here: www.harveycounty.com/images/parks/East%20Park%20hunting%20maps%202021%20all.jpg

**Bucky! Doe-rothy! Check out that sweet ride! Let's go get a closer look!**
Oh, deer. It's the time of year when deer activity increases, and they'll make a run for it across roadways. Our office alone recorded 140 deer vs. vehicle accidents in 2023, and 46% occurred over October, November and December. As October began this year, we'd already responded to 85 deer wrecks as we head into the busiest season.
Unfortunately, these accidents are so quick that they're often unavoidable. Staying alert and focused on the road is critical, especially at night. Using high-beam lights where appropriate to help illuminate the road can help. If you spot one deer, slow down and assume others are nearby.
Deer accidents are possible all year, but this is the peak season. Drive safe.**Bucky! Doe-rothy! Check out that sweet ride! Let's go get a closer look!**
