All Fluence tipsheets are now available to read and share online at our website, The Daily Agenda:
FIRST RESPONDERS: Via KSTP-TV, VERBATIM: “The Minnesota EMS Line-of-Duty Foundation is raising money to build a memorial for fallen EMS first responders, similar to memorials on the Minnesota State Capitol Mall for police and firefighters. Foundation President Adam Harvey told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS that it is time EMS personnel get the same recognition for making the ultimate sacrifice as other first responders, and the Capitol Mall, he said, is a fitting location.” WATCH: https://fluence-media.co/4exkpY8
LOONS: Via MPR, the story of Sheila Johnson whose encounter with a loon inspired her to action. VERBATIM: “When the loon swam into some nearby rushes, Johnston spotted a dead loon chick she believed had been hit by a boat. The mother loon, said Johnston, spent days wailing by her dead chick. ‘It was the most heartbreaking thing to hear, and I decided then we need to do better.’ In the years since, she’s become a fierce defender and rescuer of the birds, so much so she’s known now as the ‘loon lady.’ She writes about and photographs them, helps with research — and will occasionally call out boaters driving too fast near loons. She says more needs to be done to save Minnesota’s state bird, and anyone can help.” LISTEN/PHOTOS: https://fluence-media.co/3I5k6HX
