Week two of #maxmondaysinmay, and K-9 Max felt all the love last week and wanted to look FRESH for this week's update.
Max lives at home with Deputy Skyler Hinton. They enjoy their downtime. Max loves the back yard, but always has an itch to be working and testing his skills. Max loves playing fetch, lounging around in nice weather and attacking sprinklers at any opportunity. Skyler does upkeep to ensure Max has a welcoming kennel. Max receives plenty of baths (not including the sprinkler attacks), brushing to keep his hair in check and routinely has his teeth cleaned.
Max is excellent at his job, but he needs and deserves plenty of time to rest and recuperate and win the war against sprinklers. Thanks for checking in for #maxmondaysinmay! You can follow his everyday adventures at K-9 Max.Week two of #MaxMondaysInMay, and K-9 Max felt all the love last week and wanted to look FRESH for this week's update.

Adding our congratulations to Russ as he wraps up a tremendous career. Thank you for everything you've done for Hesston and our entire county. Enjoy retirement, chief!After more than 45 years of service to the citizens of Harvey County and Hesston, Chief Russ Buller is retiring. His last day will be May 10th.
Russ was hired in 1979, on his 18th birthday by EMS Chief Dick Toews. He then joined the Fire Department in November of 1979 hired by Fire Chief Bud Bachman. He completed his EMT training in 1980. Russ hired on with Newton Ambulance department in 1981. Then in 1987 completed his Paramedic. In 1988 Russ gained his Fire Fighter 1 and 2. Newton Ambulance and Newton Fire department merged in 1997 to form Newton Fire/EMS. Russ furthered his fire education and gained his Fire Instructor 1 and EMS instructor in 2000. Russ was then promoted to the rank of Lieutenant in 2000. Russ worked closely with Captain Leroy Dyck taking an interest in electrical, radio and computer projects. Russ left Newton Fire/EMS in November of 2002.
While working for Newton Fire/EMS, Russ continued his work with Hesston Ambulance Department. A few years after his start he became the Administrative Assistant to both the EMS and Fire Chief. He assisted with EMS billing, inventory, vehicle and station maintenance. Russ says that over the next 17 years those duties prepared him for the EMS Chief’s position, when Dick Toews retired in November 1996. In 2005 Hesston Ambulance Department and Hesston Fire Department came together under one administration to create Hesston Emergency Services. During this transition Russ was named Director of Emergency Services. In 2016 the Ambulance and Fire departments merged to create Hesston Fire/EMS and Russ became Chief of Hesston Fire/EMS.
During his tenure with Hesston Fire/EMS he has been a part of 3 major additions to the station, including multiple remodeling projects. He has spec’d out and purchased 6 new ambulances and 8 new fire apparatus. Russ was the force behind the rebranding to Hesston Fire/EMS and making the switch to a yellow apparatus fleet. Russ has been part of tens of thousands of emergency responses, a few of the most notable would include the 1990 tornado, the 2005 ice storm and Kropf and Excel fires, the 2016 Excel shooting and Covid.
When looking back at his career Russ had this to say, “I have had the best job ever for the past 45 years!”
Thank you, Russ, for your many years of service.

A fun fact for those that travel Main Street in Newton: Twenty years ago today, this Caddo sugar maple made its debut near the sidewalk of the Harvey County Courthouse. The tree was ceremoniously planted as part of the Kansas Territorial Sesquicentennial Tree Planting Project.
Checking in with our friends at Harvey County K-State Research and Extension, the Caddo sugar maple comes from Caddo County, Okla. They make for ideal trees because their leaves are thicker and stronger than other maples, which helps keep the leaves from splitting and tearing in the Kansas winds.
Passersby may have enjoyed a brief reprieve of shade or glanced over at its picturesque fall colors. It's one of several trees planted across the state for the sesquicentennial project. You can find other locations and info about the project through the Kansas Historical Society: www.kshs.org/p/kansas-territorial-sesquicentennial-commission/14727A fun fact for those that travel Main Street in Newton: Twenty years ago today, this Caddo sugar maple made its debut near the sidewalk of the Harvey County Courthouse.

Sharing many congratulations for our two newest Harvey County Drug Court graduates, Sirinity and John!
Drug Court is a collaboration between our judicial system, healthcare, law enforcement and treatment providers to create an avenue to rehabilitation for participants. The five-phase program requires meeting stringent criteria and expectations along with routine treatment meetings and appearances before the Drug Court. There aren't shortcuts - the program entails several months of effort and improvement of each participant.
Sirinity graduated today. She is our youngest graduate to date. As she powerfully wrote in her essay prior to graduation, "I can't change my past, but I can dictate my future."
John graduated at the end of April. He was one of the original participants when the program launched in October 2021. "You will forever kind of be a cornerstone in this program," said Ninth Judicial District Chief Judge Marilyn Wilder upon John's graduation.
Drug Court strives to reduce recidivism and provide a foundation of support and encouragement as participants pursue a brighter future. We've now had five graduates of the program, and more than 20 others are enrolled today. We're proud to welcome Sirinity and John to the graduating class.Photos from Harvey County Government's post ... See moreSee less

"Thanks to an unprecedented Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court (SJC) ruling this March, the town of Brookline is allowed to ban tobacco sales to anyone born after 2000—a decision with national and global ramifications. (...) The fact that tobacco is so highly addictive means that it is simply not a normal consumer product that involves free choice."

We want to take a moment to recognize our detention deputies during National Correctional Officers Week.
Safety and oversight are two priorities for our Detention Center staff, but detention deputies take care of many tasks. They provide meals, coordinate medical care, transport inmates for court appearances and facilitate rehabilitation opportunities. They are caretakers while inmates are assigned to the facility, providing supervision every day and every night of the year. Your work is integral to our office and the communities we serve. Thank you for what you do.
