The summer heat is expected to return to the area starting Monday, with heat indices reaching near 110 degrees by Tuesday and no signs of a cool down until Thursday. Make sure to stay indoors during the hottest part of the day and remain hydrated. If you must be outside, do not skimp on sunscreen, take several breaks, stay in the shade or a cool area, and remember to drink plenty of fluids.Photos from Harvey County Emergency Management's post

Have you checked out the Osage Nature Trail at East Park? It's perfect for an early morning or evening walk, and its easy trail conditions make it ideal for families looking for some time outdoors. The trail features level surfaces with some beautiful vegetation and a few critters out and about.
Parking for the trail head is just off of Northeast 24th Street, west of North East Lake Road. There are several offshoots connecting through the nature trail, as well, for those that want a longer hike or a bit more challenging terrain (don't worry, it's still Kansas terrain, not Everest).
Stop by the trail next time you want a quick walk in nature!Photos from Harvey County Parks's post

One quietly essential part of our team that we're thankful for is our local chaplains. Often, their work is done with little recognition, but they provide tremendous support services for us.
One common role our chaplains undertake are death notifications. The chaplains understand they often are meeting someone's loved ones in a heartbreaking time, and strive to offer compassion in that moment. Chaplains also are a resource for local first responders. If a responder works a particularly emotionally taxing incident, chaplains lend a listening ear and voice of understanding.
We're proud and grateful for the work the chaplains do to assist us and our communities. When others are experiencing overwhelming grief, devastation or loss, the chaplains arrive to provide a message of peace, love and hope. We simply wanted to take a moment to thank them for all that they do.One quietly essential part of our team that we're thankful for is our local chaplains.
