The week of thanksgiving is one of the busiest times of the year. Students are returning home from college, deer hunters are heading to camp, and black Friday shopping keeps the roads busy. Since this weekend will kick off rifle deer season, Fritzi Schreffler, Safety Press Officer with District 8 Penndot suggests paying close attention to the roads and deer. “It is also mating season for the deer. So, they are off in search of love and not paying attention to what the drivers are doing, obviously. So, if you're in an area that is heavily populated by deer, you definitely want to be on the lookout in case they're running out, “said Schreffler. Lt. Adam Reed, Director of the Communications Office for the Pennsylvania State Police, says during this time of year drivers get caught up in the hustle and bustle of the holidays. “They get caught up in the rush to go see family for Thanksgiving or the shopping crush prior to Christmas. People get busy, and it's important that people take a step back and realize that their safety is the most important and the gifts could weigh the travel if it takes an extra few minutes to get to your destination. So be it. Take an extra minute, take a deep breath, and get where you're going safely, “said Reed. Reed says one of the biggest causes of crashes he sees is speeding. “Two of the biggest causes of crashes that we see, number one is speeding. And number two is follow too closely, especially when a driver is doing both of those things at once. It's a recipe for disaster, really. So even things that that might seem mundane, like don't speed, don't follow the car in front of you too closely. Going back to the last topic there, it's easy to forget about. It's easy to have that get lost in the in the rush of the holiday season. So slow down and leave some distance between your vehicle and the car in front of you, “said Reed.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
More Americans travel over the Thanksgiving weekend than any other period of the year. They'll be going to family gatherings for the holiday, college students are returning home over break, and in Pennsylvania, many deer hunters are heading to camp. Most of the travelers will be driving. Traffic is already heavier on some highways than usual. There's no doubt that some of us will asked ourselves whether we're following the laws or protocols of the road. More likely though, we'll be critical of another driver. On The Spark, we take this timely opportunity to talk about rules of the road – answering questions about what's safe, what's legal, what's not and how to be better drivers. Joining us on the program Wednesday were Lt. Adam Reed, Director of the Communications Office for the Pennsylvania State Police and Fritzi Schreffler, Safety Press Officer with District 8 Penndot. Schreffler said that motorists should be on the lookout for deer this weekend and this time of year overall,"I think people forget it's rutting season. They're (the deer) all looking for a mate right now. So they're not paying attention or whether they're running across the road. But also hunting season is upon us. The farmers are clearing out their fields, and that's the area where they like to hang out. And the more construction, the more development that we have. They're losing their habitat." State Farm Insurance has these tips for avoiding a collision with a deer: Always scan ahead for animals as you drive, particularly if you see signs such as “deer crossing.” Slow down when you see animals along the road. If you see one deer, you can assume others are nearby — so exercise extra caution. Reduce distractions, such as from a cellphone. Avoid swerving if a crash seems inevitable. It is better to maintain control of your car even if that means a collision. Flick your high beams at night: This can cause animals to flee. Lt. Reed said the Wednesday before Thanksgiving is one of the biggest party nights of the year and as a result, stopping drunk driving is a priority,"Thanksgiving weekend, really through the holidays, but specifically, Thanksgiving weekend is a very DUI focused weekend for PSP. In addition to enforcing and being present with the increased traffic volumes. Our troopers are also going to have special details out there, checkpoints out there on the lookout specifically for impaired drivers."

If you have debt, your repayment amount has just gone higher. This comes after the Reserve Bank on Thursday hiked the repo rate by 25 basis points taking the new base interest rate to 7.25%. This means the prime lending rate -- the rate that banks charge when clients borrow money is now at 10-point 7-5%. Experts are warning that homeowners are likely to feel the pinch from the latest increase in the interest rate. Other economists say the effects of the rate increase on car financing would even be steeper. This has led to concerns that there may be a spike in home and car repossessions as consumers fail to meet their monthly payments. Let's now seek some advice from the National Credit Regulator for some of us who are struggling and suffocating to meet their financial obligations. We spoke to Jimmy Golele, Senior Education and Communications Office rat the National Credit Regulator.

Eco-Friendly Holidays (0:00:00) The holidays may be the most wonderful time of the year, but they are also the most wasteful. Think about it – with every inch of wrapping paper ripped off of presents, every cute homemade decoration that won't last till next year, and all of the cardboard packaging surrounding your kids' new favorite toys. And don't get me started on how much of a workout it is trying to stuff all that waste into your tiny trash can… A shocking statistic has revealed that Americans generate almost 1,000 pounds of trash per household during the holiday season. But much of what is thrown away during the holidays can be recycled or re-purposed. Jeremy Walters, sustainability ambassador at Republic Services, is on the show to give us recycling tips. Toddler Communication (0:14:43) Can you imagine what life would be like if you weren't able to express yourself to the people around you? If your thoughts and needs had to stay inside you because you didn't know enough words to express them? There's a surprisingly large amount of people that live everyday like this, and it might not be who you think. It's our children, especially our toddlers. How can we teach them to speak more effectively? Dr. Ruben J. Rucoba, a pediatrician, joins us to teach us what we can do to help our children learn to communicate better. Office Holiday Party Etiquette (0:34:42) With the many holiday parties to attend this season, how are you feeling about your work party? I find that people either can't wait or can't find enough excuses to get out of going. Despite your place on the excitement scale, there are some definite do's and don'ts of work party etiquette, and expert Jodi Smith is here to share them all. Understanding Fertility Challenges (0:50:36) Infertility affects approximately 12% of women and 11% of men aged 15 to 44 in the United States, and out of the women that are affected by infertility, more than half of the issues are unexplained. With so much unanswered, those struggling to get pregnant can easily feel overwhelmed and confused. Dr. Jennifer Mercier, a women's health and reproductive wellness provider, joins us to share what we need to know about fertility as well as how to face infertility issues. Mini Book Club: Food Books (1:04:39) Rachel Wadham, host of Worlds Awaiting, joins us to share some of the best food books. Preparing for Tax Season During the Holidays (1:23:19) It's the holidays and the last thing on everyone's mind is tax season. It may seem stressful to think about filing your taxes now, but January is not too far away. Being on top of your taxes can really benefit you in the long run. Here to tell us what we can do to prepare for tax season now is Heather Watts. Heather is Senior Vice President and General Manager of Digital at H&R Block.

In this breakout session from CC Summit 2018, Jacob King, Megan Mastroianni, and Liz Saroki Reckart share how they disrupt the status quo and lead revolutions from within their dioceses. Jacob, the Director of Anthem Philly, and Megan, the Associate Director, draw from their experiences transforming the Archdiocese of Philadelphia’s youth and young adults ministry (which was literally just called YYAM before they arrived) into an authentic, dynamic brand that won the Catholic Creatives project of the year award. Liz brought her expertise in marketing management for entertainment, technology, and CPGs to the Communications Office at the Archdiocese of LA, where she is the Managing Director of their in-house creative agency. She shares a counterintuitive approach to changing the world by making excuses, an approach that turns competitiveness into compassion and judgment into understanding. Together, these talks create a practical guide for revolutionary change.
Veteran homelessness is an issue that is very concerning in our community. VA is committed to aiding those that are homeless or at risk for homelessness. That second part is so important to remember. If a Veteran is experiencing family or financial issues that may lead to them being without stable housing, they should approach VA to get connected with the resources they need. We have a "no wrong door" policy. That means no matter how you contact VA about being homeless or at risk for it, that person will get you connected with the people you need to talk to. Many communities around the nation have proudly announced that they have effectively ended Veteran homelessness in their area. That doesn't mean that there are no homeless Veterans at any given time. It means that they are prepared and have systems in place to aid any Veteran identified as homeless or at-risk for homelessness and get them back into stable housing. I decided to speak with my colleague at the Homeless Veterans Outreach and Communications Office. He shares with us the ways VA communicates with Veterans regarding homelessness, the challenges in reaching Veterans, and how VA approaches that outreach.
