the need to be addressed in terms of equality for blacks and whites the area that that are hurting our education they're more to the children and minority theory a lot of black children which competent cool additional local school than our own that there you had been in a car buff and moved away from going to school in the same people great cool live call i would have the effect of education unemployment which is again part of education in we're where is the unemployment rate which values around five percent of young blacks is over twenty percent and your poetry of course the drug problem which bhutto or live a genuine problem and you have

to you know find out he'll wave of deal with that but we'll live howling and health issues william says some strides have been made in terms of black white equality in wichita of more needs to be done more of what we see happening abroad them or what we like about africa the moral week the porters come in a country you don't like her are the marinade to arrive at that and we feel it's our responsibility for outfit called for fluoride for everyone kind of panic a oriental american indian so where you know things have changed the latino community changed enough though so we're just trying to keep her bio ware without being wake up everybody aware that things going on that the law were still needs to be done in

libya just to keep that up here gerald williams is one of the organizers or wichita's june team festival it's a celebration marking the day in nineteen sixty five when the last black slaves in the united states learned they were freed in hutchinson i'm nancy finken they have been working with him and when that within the educational systems over the years there have been going at it in addition to training teachers on drug abuse and they cared about drug abuse what they can do in the family leisure are dead comes on later as a major factor in experimentation went off and albany new

delhi one week ago hunnicutt perjury in a pond the way as well in many jewish and we will and preventing and reducing drug abuse that's really the major going to bring together before all of the informal leaders in the yeah i supposed to bring them together i in conference is with the water's edge they are i might go about the unorganized haitian support from adult teachers parent community people are i do have an action plan well we're

really pleased governor was able to get the necessary funding with the hip candidate public transportation a joy to be sure there are so you're talking about having teams onsite go there for training terrorists yet we are will go to a treaty that there would be a sort of thing that will be downloaded want to project to the program it's going as far as where the trainees that they had to do what they were going to come together when they actually be conducted in america will want to get a higher degree now there are student groups right now i'm thinking of sad students against drunk driving and probably other peer oriented groups at school somehow all this further help peers help each other it's really an expansion of the

justly no club ideas because you're driving idea i think it left communities around the school are sponsoring those clothes for the teachers the air is one more efficiently all going to roll the governor's leadership will be to work to urge to do you're driving oh really mm hmm did the governor i've

talked to other states may be our bottle this program after any other program similar to it did we that really they are bits and pieces of a number of programs that might come together here are we wanted to be are also as much as possible unique that set in many cases we can provide audiences with the information we can provide them with like the things that are happening around the nation but ultimately be an expert on their community teenager and we don't know what their own community why they don't want they don't what might not work what happened here and

what we want and as we know communities that are somewhat different from what they were in orbit and that aid may not work as well and another part that i do you have that particular plan to get implemented everywhere to go to this program that label i love you and i hesitated well the menu innovative and the ingenuity of young people want that are challenged and identity all kinds of approaches that we haven't even thought about that may ultimately help getting through to find their

own age as well as younger sometimes we just think about them and impact each other but we also know there's a tremendous value of what some people are calling the age during her crowd cause a teenage dj and that's worthy the older teenagers are able to work with elementary age children in macon oh great i complied were young people who call for help for worthy young people good information though it may be it usually graduation oh yeah

i think an important part of that the program is that there will be a what they can do is they can go back out and talk at work with young people and their supporters in their own communities one and no people will be available to go back out and work with young people our sponsors they'll be able to talk with a wonderful thing to have a later when they can share ideas while the date the potential to lead this particular burger governor haden has made drug abuse prevention one of his top priorities are so it seems why has he made it such an important priority in his tenure as governor so far well i think it's a reflection of the governor's ongoing concern about alcohol and drug abuse when he was a member of the camps

and out of representatives and the speaker of the house when he was a candidate for governor in a video as governor continued to keep are the weirdest before the public and before the funding body company and prevention that's an important part but peanut it with the governor's proposed a rhetorical trick in this program it's a balanced approach that we have available in effect an alcoholic country we might have been any level all a drug prevention and education when you have strong arms or underage teenager an important

legislation as well it really really well and the community members individual individual it is a very complex problem and barbara the governor say that we deal with is probably going to be preparing to find their niche very area where they can help keep you prepared to reduce really intervene if you had drug problems and alcohol abuse room today we will listen to what it had heard you begin to enjoy them they want them and retaining the funding i believe you could maybe you know first major twenty during the eighty nine nineteen oh you're

nowhere i it would be hard to predict where i wanted to kill you share an addition to it till he began to happen and that will students be chosen by their schools or by their community groups and will you expect to hit team leaders from all pork portions of the state that's been part of the governor's pointed toward a drug treatment program is to provide services for people to who are here regardless of where they live so that will certainly be a major element in terms of selection for an empty or there's another private export situation i think there'll be a lot of reliance

on local community leaders about maybe a combination of school officials for each officials and county officials are demanding a number of people come together to let the young people that you know i hire early on i mean to the formal and informal leaders we know there are a lot of young people who are our informal years to regulate the captain of the football team or a basketball team or cheerleading squad or to it but they are influential with other young people in their community that actually what we're going to welcome him that we get a good cross section of going to formal identifiable leader school and some others that you might not necessarily on the surface but in fact they are leaders erin davis is carrying special assistant on drug and alcohol abuse imagines an identity again but with state

university for the past three summers has been offering as summer workshop for high school students interested in business professor friendship there is the director of the center for entrepreneurship we have a group who don't want a week on campus generally about entrepreneurship and go i mean we have their day from morning until night every day for seven days and they are in the classroom time i don't know ball game

you know some may ask why give a workshop to send young students to their argues it should be taught to even younger students the number one ms bonanno we're on that option that doesn't become an option is important a new entrepreneur not giant giant and during the woods just a workshop it's not just classroom teachers talking to the students it's actual success stories from local and regional and widowers

i am about we are now no bank can provide

song and then they have a lot of so they're says for people with entrepreneurial dreams there's never been a better time to branch out then today major right a hundred years ago and then yeah right and one

and i'm going to hurt in kansas army any different for entrepreneurial advantages than other regions and then thank you and then company

you know and even though the climate and timing for opening any business may be right there are still pitfalls but to various says money isn't the biggest one and having you come to market many people can develop a market because you're really well her the marketing some small business owners get started publicly on their own while others get help from local agencies are incubators especially designed to help

ensure entrepreneur is get a fair start to bear says those kinds of centers are vital in helping young businesses we had them maybe maybe i'm renee montagne oh yeah money money but it won't happen again

come in many young people no information friends are there is the director of the center for entrepreneurship that the wichita state university in hutchinson i'm nancy finken we want to do

free through the impact on the plant gate through the ally in history and are buying i'm going to harvard and also get down to portland but we're trying to get a picture that there actually gave a very old broad overview of the impact on the economy in humans and then this was on their quest of their departments and the person actually require that we do this so we started looking at what kind of tools we get available but we chose that local input out there now that which had recently done by dr robert anderson of the economic problems they know we use that drives the linkages between wheat and a private and all the live industry cattle and all are alive in the street and at an actor and all the ruling in history we've heard it prior to your study projections of what a detrimental effect

the dry weather has had on the economy or will have in the future once harvesting begins we're able to find any different conclusions in your study went into now explain what she found well we were probably broader than other people that that because we look at the lincoln history so when we added altogether we looked at about one point six one billion dollars worth of water in the value of output of urine and this is a picture that breaks into account the way that all the economy that the government and the value of that particular to imagine and to help with which look for the linkages between all affect the economy in terms of buying and selling huge to each other for example in the week and a pride and then it at the republican party was planted and when in june an important than a true that were made to play the weak have been made in africa cannot be changed their quality for on the cold with a weak

robert hoven that we vomit combined and the very items plant have already made their money the impact that will be on political angle grade at the point of particularly not people would tell part of the brain that we need to take that poem and think about how those oligarchs and also we had to forty nine what would happen to the new writing of we were at the end of the week will be planted as usual in fact a greater degree than i used to expect all of the expenditures to plant wheat to again be repeated and therefore those from that album helping farmers or lived there and pleaded federer will again plummet as usual so the impact really is one of those farmers and those around that i want to be heard by the output in terms of the decrease the amount of wheat that and then have that decrease the amount of wheat crop and add the cream out of wheat harvested by a custom harvesters

and forty four languages their figures of the total loss of the cancer coming due to the drought would have figures did you come up with we estimated that three point three percent of what would have been the total cost would be a lot of the drought and so that's about eight the forty eight billion dollar in about forty eight billion dollar state roads brought in decreasing by three point three percent that we all thought that total output of an alternate going to make that is going to be down about a team and i think the fed and value and not only that what if that will be unintelligible we think at that point you get medical were expected without grow by about one point to prevent such answering those

percentages inside our stimulus and figures yes we have made it that the last of the week of august would be four hundred and thirty dollars one of them can be valid plot a possible loss of government payments to read thomas' to bargain current crop of an additional hundred and eighty eight million which would be a fire but it has three hundred and five a dollar a lot to wean farmers now that may be covered by in part by the insurance that they board forty one percent of the land in the insured or hardly hear and that's going to be a quickening of that so that's one example of a specific quantitative fact now the other thing that would have that would travel in the tale of a very complex picture because in one more casualty toll because they're less brainy to graze cattle on their

four the actual playoff and a cap and trade i would go up a small amount that we estimate that view about big maybelle and i gave them they're selling really sort of crisis management could have handed out to sell and when the impact really want to be on ninety nine dot org and it had begun it and they don't want to be a degree in the number of health care operation dubbed the number of health have in and help have cooperated and that one advantage of the vote curt cline and also the ability of that person can you lead we generate and how you're going to the people of pouring into a four by philby impact in the short run if you look at and don't look like it's dramatic it does not quite prepared for what happens though in the long run when you have you thought you heard or fell into a another farmer who develop

the area who has arrived that's where he lived in nineteen ninety and beyond and speaking of the future you said earlier in this interview that you expected more week to be planted next year any reason why it's surprising to me as they go through such a terrible year that they would invest even more plans and instead it's going to be driven by private moment and that we therefore it valuable that meant a lot more weak and that you know the farmer and what they rely on ebay though it didn't wire brightly colored people a better ohio next year that will hopefully better atomic bombing come and more fulfilling and then you mentioned that some of the statistics could change depending on how many people collect on insurance i guess crop insurance we're talking about are there any other

factors i know this has been a complicated study in some areas while we are hard to predict either any other areas besides crop insurance that could affect the way your numbers are projecting if a federal government to forgive any of the outstanding payment the vomit on that crop the divisions the payments that could have a mitigating impact on farmers and if there's any effect of the nine day trial bill that could also create a vomit and cushion the blow of the water that we cross dr david dowling is an extension agricultural economist at kansas state university in manhattan in hutchinson i'm nancy finken what we're hearing so much lately about ethics in washington or ethics violations were part of a move by the atlantic

to try to get him down and turned into one that they can turn to financial beyond the branches gone really only with the racial or independent council decision in with her and laws which had been patched redistricting presidential advisers from lobbying the president grants for a certain number of years after they were part of a move to try to get them balanced own party as well who have been a lot of mentoring a procedure in congress to conclude from the laws and from the provisions which i think you're a confirmed an equal opportunity laws like a lot of the world but they did it really would be with

the late and quite well i'm dealing with financial amid a peeling hand court along with former gb caribbean might have called the bill with what eight wait wait and getting a portrait of god to quote a year and a quarter a moderate or who have been convicted of a crime of his attention on fx is a good or bad well a good question that would affect both the public and creator and being a member of congress and that's one of the only good i think it could backfire though no grave from pennsylvania or the other allegations that he had hired help that members they were

quote unquote and it had never worked for the day and i think i think the league to the effect that they were investigating robert grey quite unfortunate and i think that the attorney general richard thornburgh now on a note found in a montana delegation go overboard and i think a great example of that are we seeing a new trend in terms of ethics are we seeing something that we've seen before something new well i think i wanted to do what kind of financial beyond a one hundred and you do enough and it wasn't really until nineteen seventy one and then in nineteen seventy four when with the creation

of the federal election commission there were going to be an ongoing accountability and i'm really there and liabilities that have been ongoing between periods of the year and that will probably go way but i would say that we're the leader in that i mentioned we're relatively limited individual the period it was one now in the war in an hour and it really haven't had become a government and that they're going to do and i'm going we go to the changes that are undertaken an alligator the weekend

i do can we expect there's new concern to trickle down to the state and local levels i know in kansas kansas common causes very concerned about parks and now made some strides have been made to change the way campaign contributions aren't documented are we going to see that kind of stuff continue to have been here at this state and local level well i would say that level at that the legislative calendar is a lot depending on the forty four i get there at one of our long way they are engaged in another war in the gehry or part time i'm not

a big difference however the idea of active than their american point on i am president bush is about to propose the pac money and pac contribution be back if not eliminated at the congressional him the presidential level and if that indeed have been about a little being nominated the war on it that would have been all right when we're talking about the american public's perception of can congress how big of an imprint do ethics violations the larger scale i guess recently being against former speaker jim wright what are the lasting imprint as abu american public and what word and speaker thom follies job being out to get things are more he's encountered in congress and in the american public's eye american

public employees thought of congress like the way that mark twain ever thought about the one point one of the union member of congress then during a liar but i repeat myself a million people have liked a lot louder than the individual legislature and i'm going to play an interesting parallel or an interactive timeline in terms of the public view you won't regret it mm hmm but again as we go through an operator if something

would go wrong war ii one perform the way that people want an uncommon for the court will be back in the public radio you're right i'm ready you're going to be temporary the good of the american people the comments of dr sam humphries a visiting professor of political science at wichita state in hutchinson i'm nancy finken recycling centers across campus seemed to be

springing up in a lot of communities public education of the need to minimize solid waste and the high price for aluminum and glass so have contributed to the boom in the recycling industry in twenty seven candles communities there are a total of sixty one dollars dollars the biggest grocery chain the state wasn't a large grocery business in kansas it's not too hard to imagine the amount of recyclable products consumers purchase that balance don't vote relations director ken peters says about ten million pounds of aluminum i returned and recycled through their stores each year those are collected and then they're set in here don johnson and then they're sent on to a tech and they process and sort all these cans and an industry group ago so i'm off to a dealership is the training and evaluation center for the handicapped in hutchinson tag keeps a portion of the money and the rest goes back to dylan's stores

uber says it during the aluminum recycling isn't too much of a hassle in fact he thinks it's well worth it and it's a good it's a good alternative to two other other measures of of taking care of our environment franklin graham we see this is that the most sensible realistic and efficient alternative fuel to the program some states in an effort to encourage recycling with a deposit on each aluminum can and glass bottle in iowa for example a six pack of soda cost thirty cents more because of a five cent deposit on each scan the idea is consumers will be less likely to her when people came into the garbage instead they'll take it back for cash deposit a distiller but kiefer says he hopes that doesn't happen in kansas he helps kansans will do more of this voluntary recycling well quite frankly that was that was the alternative alluded to earlier discussion that way bottled water milk

and the attacks is another means of getting the environment claimed up and frankly that the program that we have where we pay the customer for the aluminum is as much as a much more satisfactory alternate us recycling center manager larry katz says for why people like an aluminum part of the workshop is back will be anywhere depending on the time of the year and the weather will be anywhere from three to twelve semis a day to try to turn those trailers around about fifteen or twenty minutes because jones was to get those back on me on the road when a body in here in india we have class assigned to breaking the bags stand and dumping them into large what we call they were boxes of those boxes and her

manager with work with or to arc of a year which is a sorting conveyor that their will was so whenever it's running we do have people on it and we'll be watching for any for materials that might be going up the combat here is can the aluminum foil to jump on more parched of bricks to whatever it might be wood in ottawa that form internally and she there's also a separate a separate the steel pins from the aluminum cans once it goes up and it can be processed in the machine and the machine is geared to make a veil or a biscuit about every thought every thirty five seconds and the script we tried a way out about five of them and we hope that they average somewhere between twenty five to twenty six pounds apiece the small details of them stacked into a

larger but it all which will be abandoned and weigh somewhere between twenty six twenty seven hundred pounds once we have eighteen of these willow will call for a truck through golden colorado and the coors facility that has their own bill and will ship to their mail unless they specify us to shift our core someplace else and we have probably prices somewhere between probably between one and one and a half million pounds of aluminum enjoy the operation is open seven days a week three and sixty four days a year we were close christmas day mcnabb says the aluminum that's recycled into an entire canyon and so it's our understanding that the aluminum cans or recycled at the maternal once it's melted down has been a canon as recycled that the flexibility of the terrorists at leicester city

that went into making and using it and they can use it as the main body of the candidate will be used as a portion of the top portion of the aluminum cans and it will use new aluminum to make the side and the bottom but the poppies order pop top is a girly girl is what has used that maybe a family resort in addition to doing all of the different plans they also is that aluminum from the public and maybe the public forty cents a pound there there is an increase in the amount of aluminum and in a lot of it has been education the through news media through various means that the public has become more educated and anchors more involvement with people in the ecology concept war people are concerned about it the yao there are big coming more and more individuals and companies involved in the recycling as far as

purchasing from the general public and part of that is that at this point in time the head of the aluminum recycling market is very economical to process there was a time when aluminum i dropped down to it one time we saw down to thirteen cents a pound at that particular time most people would walk past a moment k e n and i got it wasn't as profitable for an individual to do that we also saw during a time when the economy here in hutcheson was down in at that time i was getting close to the christmas holidays and we saw tremendous increase in cannes and for that was that element key and recycling ethic at that time was twenty five twenty seven cents around and many people were dying and not as a luxury or extra spending money but it was becoming a necessity we did see a considerable increase in the aluminum that was being recycled during the holiday season and it was evident to people really didn't have money for the christmas

holidays sharing a canvas natural resource council i am so excited to see the number of local groups that are organizing and taking action committee a chronic pain can even smaller town where people are farming not requested a local government but our standard is serving on a statewide task force that looks at the policy proposals for solid waste management in kansas she encourages arkansans to check for local places to recycle not just aluminum the glass and paper products as well imagine so i'm nancy finken the alliance is our home now obama has been i managed to record out

here to get wasted you can and the town has helped us a lot it's kind of it's a very friendly community and we felt as much a loss to some real people even though we are a new way you know and we want to help as much as we can because i want to see what they're going to do this is surely so you're a resident alliance we're only three years now but still those loyal to helping rebuild the west side of the square and people who lived in lyons entire lives on wednesday may twenty fourth for businesses on the west side of the square were either burned or seven extreme smoke and water damage the cause of the fire is still under investigation but apparently started in the back of the coast to coast or expressing both directions literally destroyed a band of five and ten and one jack's hardware store and then water damage carrie

johnson manager of the video station was able to get most of their rivals out of the store before it filled up with smoke i was working and out by there and he came over and said that there is a fire opposed to closed that they thought they had it under control mr klein tom thanks again back in to have their startling stuff out there about getting i came out in about movies and the machines that out and by six o'clock he couldn't get back in the store and then every day without across a strain it was unplanned even though johnson and others got most of the valuables out of the radio station and they still have the last word laughter probably five hundred jacket they got water damage and ceilings failing and the plaster jackets we run about five hundred of them and none of business on this trip wow jack's hardware wasn't somebody honesty one jacket not going to get much out of this bill before it was engulfed in flames my mind allbaugh and i were in the store and down the man from killers gestation can

only loans the coast customs on fire and down mailbag to see what we can do in the fire and shooting in the air and there's obviously not like i do by myself so i don't know if i was already a soloist and taken out the words and unarmed people working three four minutes and it was all over we can get back and no if i would fault i sort of what i am park city oklahoma as salvaged dealer and they just took it all out to the hard to be in your store that you controlled for ten years now that you painted that you clean that you fixed up and have these guys can in inches taller thing out like the place was a dumping on the edges it's real hard to be their homes weather event alliance once or twice or pay regular visits there the square is one of the most lasting impressions citizens in lines obviously take pride in the square

where a lavish green lawns around the rice county courthouse carefully nurtured trees and shrubs stand tall on all sides of the square it's the hub of lyons business district and people in lyons don't wanna see the westside go barricades are up along part of that in a way to keep spectators out of the four businesses that sustained major fire damage historically speaking the fire burned upon of lines that can never be regained steve lott jack store like others are street was about one hundred years old old have the old wooden oak floors metal ceilings it has two different styles of metal ceilings those who really can't be replaced then just the history the front you can come to see that and the cast are killers and all the metal worker thing on last summer well jack says he's committed to rebuilding his business in the same location i grew up north of hoisington and then i i competed in sports heroes de flores drove through lines of this

cover i unique attractive daniel and not just a like that square law like the effect in the appearance and i think it's helped keep the community strong seems like a square type shopping is stronger thinner than a straight line type main street was intense main street is is very anti in comparison to lines and online just impressed with what sustains way last week the lions chamber of commerce called an open meeting for citizens to discuss a concentrated effort to rebuild the burned square area over fifty people filled the city council chambers the project to rebuild the area is called westside phoenix west side refers to the geographical location of the bird site and phoenix's the mythical bird that rose from the ashes of the meeting one citizen showed a photograph that ironically seem to give reinforcement to the project's main it was a picture of a steel beam from one of the buildings imprinted on the being with the words phoenix foundry leavenworth after about

an hour and a half open for discussion the community members under the direction of the chamber of commerce decided to form a clearinghouse for ideas headquartered at the lions chamber office soon so many townspeople have offered to lend helping hands the chamber office will serve as a place to coordinate services needed and offered general manager tony barber says committees will be formed to look into various issues including storefronts and parking at a meeting that we had the night after the fire on the square so that the community is very interested and i'm sure there's probably will be hunted it was just the first meeting and there's a lot of unanswered questions we're not sure you know exactly what's going to happen who else is going to build on the website link we don't know that for certain that the whole community wants that's a community wide effort barker says lyons a town about forty three hundred depends on its way for business she says it's the character and i keep shoppers coming back i mean people do come the lions to stop because of the

square they they like the friendliness out that the character of it they like the old historical buildings other for businesses affected by the fire to our apparently committed to staying in business the video station has already reopened at a shop on the same side of the square and well jacks hardware has stated it will also opened shop again on the west side as were the others doors mark at this point isn't too concerned about the lack of commitment by the others will maybe on someone from another town make an intimate story week we have people coming up to it and you know to different places where they can carry ok so i'm not concerned with five of the health cost is certainly a factor for business owners to consider at a time when retailers especially in smaller towns are struggling to make ends meet investing in another story something that requires deep thought wow jack's as he has insurance but it's not covering everything it's

going to cost him to rebuild well so far i haven't settled with them that it looks like you were going to have a loss as far as i'm out of inventory i had the amount that they're gonna pay but we still you know have an income discussed it with me out has sent them all paperwork so and then on tearing down the building or lose about sixty five hundred because they only cover five thousand a thousand and four thousand dollars steve well jack says the cost of putting up a new building is going to be well over one hundred thousand dollars and he also need inventory worth about a hundred thousand dollars one thing many community members are concerned about is rebuilding the west side in the same fashion as other parts of the square but rebuilding storefronts in an effort to fit in already established image of nearly one hundred years ago is of secondary concern right now the primary concern seems to be to get the businesses open and worry about the design of the storefronts at a later date the city of lyons has agreed to help store owners by giving dirt to fill in the basements and creative

firm base for the new construction is not just the city government or the chamber of commerce project and it's people like shirley saw here who are ready to wartime that talent and money to preserve the beauty and necessity associated with the lions square time whatever we've already contacted the people and tell them you know what it is dave says you know the size of trucks and stuff that they need we don't have that time but if they started funding this type of thing any manual labor evening that were able to do it for more than half the the whole communities as well as what makes wine so special i think is because the whole community will get together and they will prevail that sure surely so you're a resident of lions she and many other community members are committed to helping re open businesses on the west side of the square in hutchinson i'm nancy finken one of the us army's

forgotten warehouses in alabama has turned into a treasure chest for the cosmos we're only a few months ago the cars were found and retrieved a rare red stone rocketed the warehouse and this week they finalize their acquisition of two other rare finds cause for director max ary is ecstatic we just received it german b one bomber as he referred to it and also the of complete engine out of the german v two rocket and next week sometime we should receive the route and entirely two rocket with a second engine and this has been a major acquisition by the carton spirit something that honestly we never thought that we would have a real and have a chance to obtain areas that the v two rocket will be among the top two or three out of bags of the museum's collections we found these down an alibi and about six months ago in an old army warehouse that was about to be destroyed and that was one of those typical stories of the army essentially had forgotten the courthouse

and everything that was in it and so we went into it and found a russian rocket that we obtained about two months ago and when i came across of the two injured and i was just a static because i never thought there was any chance if i need something like that completely to injury and just as i was about to become overly excited i walked around the corner and there was named harvey to them and sitting right next to it was the only one now the importance of the one of the two third or essentially a set go together and historically there many times considered together they were very famous secret weapons hitler's military directly into the war and that he essentially stood for vengeance they were called his vengeance weapons and the reason for it is going to the war many of hitler cities were in ruins and bombed and almost to oblivion by

the allies and he no longer had an air force that was significant enough to retaliate back to england are some of the other outlying cities and so each wanted desperately to have a weapon that would give to allow him to have engines on the ally cities and this is where he came up with the one of the two other the one actually a rocket itself is run by tibetans a very sophisticated ago pollster and the thing who has had wings and it flew like a high speed jet aircraft it's actually about four hundred and fifty five hundred miles in our areas says seventy five hundred of these were shot into primarily london and everyone in many ways was probably one of the best known of the two simply because you could hear it and was a terrifying weapon because the sound it made and they came in all over the city in the engine cut off and you know that it was going to be diving into the ground and it did a great deal of damage but that the two actually was the most sophisticated by a long way of the

two weapons in fact it was considered the most sophisticated a piece of machinery ever developed to a point in time in history it was literally the first space rocket b singers were launched from germany or poland they literally obtain altitudes lower hundred and fifty two hundred miles up in space they are to him in a ballistic past that and hit targets in england and then morgan and some of the other outlying areas they eat it was totally impossible even against him says they traveled at speeds over three thousand mph rate at heights of two hundred miles radar couldn't pick him up it even if you could there was nothing you could do about him and essentially what happened is without wearing an entire city block and disappear so what was once hitler's vengeance turned out to be the united states' first attempt at a space program and the importance to him was that at the end of the war the german are getting hit by one von braun developed the two

surrender to the americans and most of the remaining me to quote that was captured by the americans and brought back to this country along with a german rocket team and that became the beginnings of the american space program and the first seventy your ad american rocket launchers of our space program that occurred primarily at white sands were the two rockets and so that's where we got our starts and that's what gave birth to have the rockets that we use today to carry people into space and so that's what and importantly although it may take several years to telling his delivery to when it is finally an exhibit area says the display will largely increased the museum's capability to concretely show the history of the us space program we go from a robert goddard who was the father of the modern liquid fuel rocket and american and that was really our first explainer exhibit hall there we go into the german development of the rocket during world war two we

do have another rocket engine that's a very important engine also very rare rocket engine it was a again for one of the german secret weapons it wasn't for rocket powered airplane is designed right into the war and then safely decision as the distinction of being home the first production rocket engine that narrowed options for little playing goalie anyone sixty three and we have it on display but primarily it's just text and photographs of the two and diagrams we do have one of the original blueprint said had been captured or the tumor that's all we have and now we can literally span and era from about nineteen forty through about nineteen fifty one in history or of the rocket your space program but it means it has one acquisition with a view to having him actually two that will be on display restoring the native could cost anywhere between fifty and one hundred thousand dollars now with the early years building in areas as the history learned because was fair is quite solid except for the present i would

say yes actually there's two main gets that we have right now one being this one area that we're talking about here the real beginning of our space program lisa a gap in an aspect to artifacts the second one strangely enough is the presenter that were inspirational we have probably more artifacts about the space shuttle in any other museum in the country but even then it's just bits and pieces in and were infected haven't new exhibit underway that should be open within the next month on the space shuttle that will have the various bits and pieces that we have on the show but says so much on especially are usable there's very few parts and pieces are coming out of your back so that is one that will take years week as we go along that are probably wondering what we had opened was a one will be taken care of either be one of the two the gospels there has recently been given land near the hutchinson mall to build a new larger facility when the funds are raised approximately seven million dollars of the one and the two rockets

will again have a new home for now they're at the cosmos for subsidiary space works of space artifacts restoration business kari says to obtain rockets from the us army because they're paid for all the shipping and insurance costs which will turn out to be between three and five thousand dollars in hutchinson i'm nancy finken
