The podcast of this week's program about the Hospice Alliance of Hampton Roads is now available. My guests are Doug Price of the Hospice Alliance, Mary Vince of Interim Home Health and Hospice, and Jennifer Ellsworth, who is co-chair of the 4th Annual Hospital Alliance Masquerade Ball in March.
Hospice care, as I have learned from previous interviews with Doug and his wife, Debra, involves the care of people nearing the end of their lives. Doug says hospice care is a benefit to the patient because of the comfort and care they receive outside of a hospital setting. The patient's family also benefits.
Mary and Jennifer discuss how they learned about hospice care through loved ones facing end of life issues. Their experiences led both to become supporters of the Hospice Alliance.

HR Topics -- Child Safety Seat Roundup
The podcast of the program on the 23rd Annual Old, Use, Borrowed and Abused Child Safety Seat Roundup. My guest is Georjeane Blumling of the AAA of Tidewater Virginia.
For more information, call 757-498-2562 or visit the Drive Safe Hampton Roads Facebook page.
Blumling says a safety seat could be unsafe when it's more than six years old, has been purchased used, or been involved in an accident. Through the month of February, people can get a $5.00 Walmart gift card for first two old or used seats they bring in. In addition, the seats will be recycled.

Child Safety Seat Roundup
Sunday, 2/12 @ 6am
92.9 The Wave, ESPN Radio 94.1, Star 1310 and 97.3 The Eagle
This Sunday's edition of Hampton Roads Topics will deal with the 23rd Annual Old, Use, Borrowed and Abused Child Safety Seat Roundup. My guest is Georjeane Bluming of the AAA of Tidewater Virginia, one of the presenting organizations.
The annual roundup targets child safety seats that are over eight years old, have been in an accident, or were bought used. Blumling says any of those factors could make the seat more prone to failure in a traffic accident.
During the month of February, the roundup offers a $5.00 Walmart gift card for each of the first two seats turned in. Seats can be turned in at any AAA office, DMV office, or Walmart location in Hampton Roads.
In years past, the roundup made a big show of gathering all of the old child seats in a big pile and crushing them. Today, though, the old seats that are turned in are recycled.

The podcast of Sunday's Hampton Roads Topics focusing on hit and run accidents is now available. I talk with Virginia Beach Commonwealth's Attorney Harvey Bryant and Adam Bernstein of Virginia Beach Police about a recent rash of hit and run incidents.

Stopping Hit and Run Accidents
Sunday, 2/5 @ 6am
92.9 The Wave, ESPN Radio 94.1, Star 1310 and 97.3 The Eagle
Over the past 12 months, Hampton Roads has endured several high profile incidents of hit and run. In Virginia Beach in February, 12 year old Camryn Johnson McCall was left for dead when a van struck her just off Lynnhaven Parkway and then left the scene. The driver, Mark Tiejen, a man with a long history of vehicle violations, was later arrested and pleaded guilty to felony charges. Over the summer, two cyclists were struck and injured in separate hit and run incidents along Shore Drive. Those two cases remain unsolved.
