Jessica Miller from the Reno County Growth Coalition has an excellent article up on the Hutch News site that everyone should read. So get over there and read it.
Brace yourself, America, for the SWeet TEA Party (Seriously, We're Taxed Enough Already) may be planning their next demonstration - laden with benign rage and misused words ending with the suffix "ist". The rest of America will most likely be able to do nothing but stare in awe as cases upon cases of Mountain Dew and Diet Pepsi splash into harbors on both coasts.
Perhaps nothing this extreme will happen, and I'm just painting this mental picture for the humor of it. Maybe I just saw mention of the sugar tax, thought of the whole "SWeet TEA Party" thing and just didn't want a good acronym and pun (not to mention a jab at the irrational TEA Party people) to go to waste. My friends will tell you that's most likely the case. But I also have an opinion on the situation, and would like to hear other's.

Our first entry, below, is from Ron Williams, who says, "My aunt Carol made me get my long hair cut on a vacation trip to Ohio. I didn't even know what a mullet was. Mitchell made me submit it."
This past week I have suffered from a kidney infection, which was far from pleasant. One thing I am most definitely thankful for is how caring professors are when a serious illness can occur. When a student is under the weather, it is essential to make an appointment, luckily HCC has Student Health Services available to students who need medical treatment. When looking for colleges, whether staying close to home or going out of town, it is important to see what type of Health Services the college offers. Furthermore, if you know you will be missing class, it is important to contact your professors as soon as possible. My professors have been extremely kind during my time ‘under the weather’. If you miss a test, making it up may be possible if you stay in direct contact with teachers. This is a quality that means an enormous amount to me.

Hutchinson Community College – Blue Dragon Days March 31st, 2009 – 9:00am
Our sense of worth is largely based on the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves. I don’t mean our autobiography or our business success story as much as the way we internally answer questions like these:
• What type of person do I see in the mirror each morning?
• Am I paying attention to my body and what it needs?
• To whom and for what am I grateful?
• Am I measuring my self worth against my perception of others?
• How am I handling the less-than-perfect circumstances in my life?
• What positive things do I bring to my important relationships?
• What do I say to myself at day’s end?
National Nutrition Month® is a nutrition education and information campaign promoted annually in March by The American Dietetic Association. The campaign focuses attention on the importance of making informed food choices and developing sound eating habits. This year’s theme slogan is EAT RIGHT.
Obviously, eating right means eating healthy, and eating healthy means following recommendations according to the Food Guide Pyramid, The Dietary Guidelines, and The American Heart Association. Eating right doesn’t have to be complicated. The major recommendations from all three organizations emphasizes fruit, vegetables, whole grains, low fat dairy products, lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, eggs, and nuts. Foods to limit are those high in saturated fat, trans fat, cholesterol, salt, and added sugars.
