As the summer months heat up, so does the intake of stray and displaced animals at the York County SPCA, putting serious pressure on space, staff, and resources. Steven Martinez, Executive Director of the York County SPCA, joined The Spark to shed light on how the shelter is navigating one of its busiest seasons of the year. "It's usually about this time of the year, towards the end of summer, that we start to get full," said Martinez. “You hit May, June, July — things start creeping up. And then by the time you get to August, suddenly we have 70, 80 dogs in the kennel at any given time.” This influx of animals, particularly large dogs, is taking a toll on both the animals and the staff. “When our shelter starts to get too full, the animals get real stressed. They can get sick because there’s too many in too close of an environment. That extends their length of stay,” Martinez explained. As the only animal shelter serving all 72 municipalities in York County, the organization is legally required to accept all stray and displaced animals. That volume alone creates consistent strain, but summer presents unique challenges. “For cats, summer is their breeding season,” Martinez said. “By the time you get to the end of summer going into the fall, they’re in the third litter — and now we’re starting to get full.” Inside the shelter, the noise and constant activity can cause stress for animals, especially dogs. That stress often leads to poor health, which then delays adoption. “Stress equals bad health. Our job is to manage their health through enrichment,” Martinez said. “We try to get dogs out two to three times a day for a walk, put them in play groups, and teach them manners so that they’re better candidates for adoption.”Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Each January, during some of the coldest days of the year, communities across the country participate in a federally mandated effort to measure homelessness. The Point-in-Time (PIT) count provides a snapshot of those experiencing homelessness in a single 24-hour period. And this year, York County's results were sobering. York County saw a 17% increase in the number of people without shelter compared to last year. “It wasn’t a surprise, but it was certainly disappointing,” said Kelly Blechertas, Program Coordinator for the York County Coalition on Homelessness. “We’re always looking to decrease that number… and seeing such a significant increase was disappointing.”Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

State and local leaders in Pennsylvania are brainstorming ways to preserve rural health care. That's why they recently held a summit at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford, where there is now a seven-county maternity care desert. There's a nationwide shortage of young people pursuing careers as Certified Public Accountants. And state lawmakers are looking to address that talent gap. Construction is underway on a massive new addition to the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania. Over the past year, homelessness in York County increased by 17 percent. That's according to the Point in Time Count, a federally-required count. Reading City Council is decriminalizing the possession of small amounts of marijuana.

Electricity bills in Pennsylvania and neighboring states are likely to rise once again next year. A narrowing gap between supply and demand is driving up prices. The massive Republican-backed spending bill signed by President Trump on July 4 makes major changes to the SNAP program, also known as food stamps. Because of those changes, Pennsylvania could soon have to pay hundreds of millions of dollars in additional costs currently covered by the federal government. The state budget is nearly four weeks late, and nonprofits and schools say they may soon have to make difficult budget decisions of their own. State Senator Lindsey Williams says rape crisis centers are especially concerned about their funding.

Governor Josh Shapiro says he wants to be sure Pennsylvania plays a key role in developing artificial intelligence, as well as providing the energy needed to support it. Speaking at an energy and A-I summit in Pittsburgh this week, Shapiro said the state's skilled workforce and natural gas reserves helped attract a $20 billion dollar investment in new data centers recently pledged by Amazon. A number of large-scale data center projects were announced across the state including a $15 billion project planned for the Carlisle area, a $6 billion project in the Lancaster area and a $5 billion project planned for York County. A nonprofit group that helps unemployed people stay in their homes is calling for state property reassessment laws to be updated. The lawsuit could affect property owners across the state. Another attempt is being made to eliminate local property taxes in Pennsylvania: This latest effort, in the form of an amendment to the state Constitution, is co-sponsored by state Senator Doug Mastriano of Franklin County. It would prohibit school districts from collecting property taxes beginning July first, 2029 and require the General Assembly to come up with another funding method for public schools. Some state lawmakers are taking another shot at legalizing adult cannabis use in Pennsylvania. Senators Daniel Laughlin and Sharif Street, as well as Representatives Emily Kinkead and Abby Major introduced bipartisan recreational cannabis bills just four days apart. Both bills incentivize minority, women and veteran-owned small businesses to open dispensaries across the state. Pennsylvania is one of 49 states sharing in a 20 million dollar settlement with drug maker Gilead Sciences. It stems from a lawsuit which accused Gilead of illegally providing financial and other incentives to medical personnel in exchange for promoting and prescribing its HIV medications. Danville-based Geisinger is eliminating nearly 100 Geisinger Health Plan positions as part of an "operational restructuring" amid financial challenges that include a $231 million operating loss last year. Four independent voters in Pennsylvania are asking the state Supreme Court to rule that the closed primary system violates the state constitution. They filed a lawsuit arguing that keeping independents out of primaries effectively denies them the right to vote in many districts where primaries determine the outcome.

State Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding was in Perry County this week, as the Shapiro Administration continues to highlight how SNAP funding cuts will affect Pennsylvania farmers and families. Pennsylvania lawmakers are considering a bill meant to streamline the approval process for energy generation projects in the state, but it faces opposition from many sides.

A Lancaster County teen and her mother are charged with concealing the death of a child and other offenses.

Interest in public records, especially for school boards and elections offices, has increased in recent years. But some lawmakers say there are bad actors using the right to access as a way to harass government officials. In response, the Senate is advancing a bill to allow government agencies to ignore records requests from so-called vexatious requesters for a year. Two Pennsylvania lawmakers hope to rejuvenate a state-funded program that helps cover the cost of badly needed home repairs. A new report from the Lenfest Institute for Journalism shows Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker’s administration is getting mixed reviews from residents who see some progress - but often feel left out of the process.

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell, and attorney Eric Bland — talk about Bowen Turner's return to jail after allegedly day-drinking at a public golf course last week. South Carolina's thrice-accused rapist — and the crowned prince of trying to buy his way out of accountability — is once again being accused of violating the terms of parole … and breaking yet another promise to a justice system that continues to reward him with just one more chance.  How many more times will we all be forced to talk about Bowen?
