Gov. Josh Shapiro is warning that cuts to Medicaid health care that Congress is considering would mean billions of dollars in lost federal aid to Pennsylvania, hundreds of thousands of people losing access to the program and more rural hospitals shutting their doors. In Harrisburg, legislation designed to improve access to hospital financial-aid programs in Pennsylvania has been approved by the state House. Allegheny County Democrat Arvind Venkat authored the bill to prevent patients from falling into medical debt. The bill received strong bipartisan support, including from Republican Tim Twardzik of Schuylkill County. More than a thousand postdoctoral scholars and research associates at the University of Pennsylvania want to form a union. The school is challenging that move. It’s not even Memorial Day yet, but this year’s Fourth of July parade is already being cancelled by one Philadelphia-area township, amid security concerns. There is no definitive threat facing Whitemarsh Township in Montgomery County, but township officials are leaning on the side of safety. Lancaster City Council joined a chorus of municipalities voicing their support for a $15 minimum hourly wage in Pennsylvania. By a 7-0 vote, the council passed a resolution supporting House Bill 1150, which would more than double Pennsylvania’s minimum hourly wage, currently $7.25. As Rite Aid drug stores are preparing to shut down, Pennsylvania's Attorney General is advising customers of other, more crucial deadlines. AG Dave Sunday says June 6th is the final day consumers can use Rite Aid gift cards, coupons, bonus points, or other in-store rewards. A new $19.1 million dollar Lancaster County manufacturing facility opened this week and is ramping up production of bone broth and soup. The company Kettle & Fire is launching with 60 employees but plans to eventually grow to a workforce numbering close of 150. Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman is calling for bipartisanship in order to tackle the issue of air traffic safety. Fetterman took the opportunity to highlight a Pennsylvania school. He told Franklin McIntosh, the FAA's deputy head of air traffic control, about the Community College of Beaver County, the only school in Pennsylvania that offers FAA air traffic controller training. Musician Zachariah King hails from the Perry County village of Eshcol, which helped form his musical career.

There is more than the topography that is “rolling” at Rolling Fields Company in Perry County.  When Keith Dennis and his wife Jane purchased the farm in 1976, this rolling farm ground had water rolling any time it had a heavy rain, cutting deep gullies. Erosion was a huge concern.  Since 2011 Keith has planted cover crops and began utilizing the Haney Soil Health test.  Now the rolling fields are green and covered with a mixture of cover crops. Today the main things rolling are the numbers and data on spreadsheets from over a decade of soil health test results. Dusty and Keith discuss the farm's transition to high productivity on this episode of the podcast and look ahead to the future.

The Perry Historians were incorporated in 1976 and is dedicated to preserving history whether it i's researching genealogy or documenting historic sites. Local Author and Historian, Jerry A. Clouse was one of the founding members of the non-profit. "There was not a library, a research library where we could do research instead of going to the state library at Harrisburg. So we felt it would be good to have one closer by in Perry County." The organization began with just 30 members, but grew by a thousand around the 1980's. "So a lot of people joined us and we raised money through little fundraisers here and there. And we started like on a shoestring carrying our books to, we would have genealogical workshops at different locations in the county. And finally we raised enough money to purchase an old schoolhouse, which was our first where we had our little library then. But in a few years we realized we needed something more and we built an archives building and then we've had two more additions since then to, so that we could house our library properly and provide research room, everything to help the public better access history and genealogy."

Spiral Path Farms is celebrating the 31st season of its Community Supported Agriculture Program (CSA). This farm is also one of two big organic farms in Perry County. Bethany Hinkle has been the CSA manager for two years. “So, a CSA is a relationship of mutual support and commitment between a local farm and its community. So as a member, you help support the farm for the duration of the growing season. And then the cost of your produce is locked in at the time you join and in return, our family and farm crew do all the work necessary to plant, grow, harvest, wash and deliver your produce.” CSA offers a medium and full share size for CSA members. “So, if full shares are getting, say, four pounds of potatoes, mediums might get two pounds of potatoes or in corn season, they might get a dozen years versus six years or a bigger watermelon versus a smaller watermelon. And then aside from size, you can also choose how long you are signing up for.” The season lasts for about 35 weeks and runs from April to December. “It’s another one of those things that often sets us apart as a lot of local farms aren't able to quite extend their season that late into the winter or early into the spring. So, it's very seasonal in the spring. We'll have our leafy green. We'll have spinach, arugulas, strawberries, rhubarb. And then in the summer we'll have tomatoes, zucchini, cucumbers, our melons, our sweet corn. And then we have a third option that summer season is the 20 weeks from June to mid -October. And then we have a third option for people that just want to try us out. It's called our sampler and they can just sign up for one month and see if they like receiving the produce and if they can use the produce and if they want to continue on with the program.” Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dauphin, Cumberland, and Perry Counties have partnered with Connections Health Solutions, to launch a 24/7 Emergency Behavioral Health Crisis Walk-in center, making it a first of its kind in the area. “We're actually really excited about this because we know that if we are better prepared to offer proactive support to families and individuals experiencing a crisis, it will likely. Be helpful and decrease more costly services down the road. Plus, the person gets immediate help versus waiting longer until their need is met, “said Annie Strite, Mental Health Director for Cumberland and Perry County. The Center is projected to open for adults and children in the weeks following, serving individuals ages 14 and up, regardless of insurance or ability to pay. The center located at 1100 S. Cameron Street in Harrisburg will provide walk-in care and crisis stabilization services, and mobile response units to address the additional crises in the community. “One of the goals of the center is to expedite drop offs by law enforcement personnel. To do that as quickly as possible and to avoid any lengthy delay in order to support law enforcement personnel with getting back to what the public most needs them to be doing it, “said Andrea Kepler, Administrator for Dauphin County Mental Health, Autism, and Developmental programs. The center will open in phases with the crisis mobile unit Dec.4.

Election denialism is costing the Philadelphia suburbs big money. Bucks, Chester, Delaware and Montgomery counties have spent more than $2.6 million fighting election-related lawsuits since 2020. The race for Pennsylvania's 19 electoral votes in the presidential contest is nearing the home stretch.  Pennsylvanians can vote by mail or vote in-person at a polling place on Election Day. The state doesn't have early in-person voting, but there is a work around. WITF's Jordan Wilkie recorded himself requesting and returning a mail-in ballot, all in-person and the same day, at his county elections office.  Motorists will have to deal with weekend construction along some of the most heavily traveled roadways in Central Pennsylvania.  President Joe Biden says he will formally apologize for the nation's role in forcing Indigenous children into boarding schools -- including one in Cumberland County -- where for more than 150 years many were physically, emotionally and sexually abused, and more than 950 died.  A school district in Perry County has implemented a new system to detect guns on school property.    Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
