KJJP-FM 105.7 is currently operating at very reduced power and signal range using a back-up transmitter. This is because of complicated problems with its very old primary transmitter. Local engineers are currently working on that transmitter and consulting with the manufacturer to diagnose and fix the problems. We apologize for this disruption and service as we work as quickly as possible to restore KJPFM to full power. In the mean time you can always stream either the HPPR mix service or HPPR connect service using the player above or the HPPR app.

Firefighters Rescue Woman Stuck In Mud On Boston Beach

Published April 14, 2021 at 5:28 AM CDT

NOEL KING, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Noel King. Not everybody becomes a stick in the mud by choice. Camille Coelho was taking a walk with her dog on a Boston beach when she found herself sinking. The mud went up to her knees, and Coelho realized she wasn't able to get out. Firefighters had to come to the beach and rescue her. Back on dry and firm land, she called the event a great metaphor for the times we're in. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
