ZOLL Public Safety’s Post

Florida

I PLEDGE my HEAD to clearer thinking, my HEART to greater loyalty, my HANDS to larger service, and my HEALTH to better living, for my family, my club, my community, my country and my world. This is the 4-H Pledge that youth and adults recite at the opening of each meeting. In the spirit of that pledge to clearer thinking, we ask “is there a future for 4-H in Sherburne County?” Last summer, the 4-H horse project funded and painted the barns to freshen them up for fair. Imagine the disappointment as everything the kids worked to prepare for was deluged with rain through the failing roofs on the horse barns as several waves of extreme weather occurred during fair week. The normal flurry of excitement was replaced with an all-out scramble to shift horses to higher ground and wait out the storm while also scrambling to save thousands of dollars’ worth of hay, feed, show clothes, tack and equipment. This is one of many issues that need to be addressed to deal with aging infrastructure and the future of the county fairgrounds. The county has indicated at various times the desire to sell and redevelop the property the fairground occupies. That constant fear of being evicted from the fairgrounds has not served the best interests of the youth or the community at large. Sherburne County businesses and residents are overwhelmingly supportive of 4-H programming when made aware of needs and how they can help. But who will invest in updating and improving the aging infrastructure of a fairgrounds under constant threat of eviction and redevelopment of the property? If the long-range plan is to relocate the fairgrounds, then please, let us begin the dialogue to plan out a timeline and details for beginning that endeavor. We need to at least work together to solve the immediate issues to serve our youth of today as well as plan for the future of our youth. If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. Please, let us not fail our youth any longer. ~ Families of Sherburne County 4-H Note: this letter was sent to all Sherburne County commissioners. The purpose of this post is to raise awareness of safety issues at the Sherburne County fairgrounds. The video captures the July 22, 2023 storm at the county fair and a failing roof leaking into one of the tack/hay stalls. #safety #4H #fair #itsforthekids #horses Please contact your Sherburne County representative and let them know action is needed https://lnkd.in/gcwtPM3J

Tell United States Senators Klobuchar and Baldwin to Withdraw Their Anti-Wolf Bill Due to federal protections being restored by a federal judge in February 2022, Minnesota wolves cannot currently be hunted. However, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources intends to hold a wolf hunt once our state’s wolves lose those protections. A recent peer reviewed paper showed that wolves continued to be killed illegally long after the legal wolf hunts ended. In other words, wolf hunts simply cannot be controlled. Right now wolves in our region are under attack in Congress. We need to let our lawmakers know that federal protections need to be strengthened, not eliminated. Take action at https://lnkd.in/gec-gPzd and raise your voice to #BanWolfHunting FOR GOOD!

In this article I explain how at the very moment of Irish success in sport or history something always derails us at the last moment. See if you agree! If you do, please share it on your sm platforms. #Blackrockcollege #irelandrugby #irelandhistory #stpatrick #citylit

It's about Rotary training tonight. I appreciate the planning and work put into a webinar I "attended." Are you in Rotary or another service club? What would you like to know about what your members are interested in? #Rotary #serviceaboveself #communityservice #RI

Need to watch this to gain an understanding of what football means to those in rural areas!

This video almost had me in tears. How dare anyone or any society give girls the impression they are less. One of the reasons I love being a Firefighter is to extinguish this ‘Dream Gap’. Not just for little girls, but also to show little boys that girls can do anything. Changing the narrative must start young. Last year I went to an incident where I was the only female firefighter on scene with four trucks (and about 20 men). Some members of the public gathered nearby, drawn by the flashing lights and hive of activity. There was a little girl, perhaps 5, standing by watching us intently with her mother, who was telling her “look at all the firemen!” I wanted this little girl to see that one day, she could be me. I said hello and explained what we were doing and invited her to ask questions. Her eyes lit up, she smiled and said excitedly - ‘Mummy, mummy - it’s a girl firefighter, I can be one too!’ The profound deeper meaning of her words was a moment I will never forget. This is the reason why I love community events. Driving the trucks. Speaking with bystanders. We are firefighters, not firemen. If I’ve inspired even one little girl to challenge that #DreamGap and reach for the stars, then I think I’ve accomplished something good in life. #firefighter #countryfireauthority #CFA #volunteer #volunteering #volunteerfirefighter #equity #barbie #dreamgap #dreamgapproject #genderequity #genderbias #unconsciousbias
