TAMAQUA, Pa. (AP) — Authorities say a glider aircraft crash in Pennsylvania claimed the life of one person.
State police in Schuylkill County say the aircraft went down shortly after 3:30 p.m. Friday in a wooded area of Walker Township, a short distance from Heisler’s Dairy Bar. Troopers said they found the plane with a male occupant who was pronounced dead at the scene by a deputy county coroner.
No details about the man were immediately released. It wasn’t immediately clear where the plane came from or where it was headed. The Federal Aviation Administration was notified and will assist in the investigation by state and local police and the county coroner’s office.
PITTSBURGH (AP) — A federal appeals court is upholding a Pittsburgh ordinance that creates a 15-foot buffer zone against protests outside abortion clinics and is also allowing “sidewalk counseling” within that zone. The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday said the city can restrict congregating, picketing, patrolling and demonstrating in the immediate vicinity of clinics, but the zone restrictions don’t apply to “calm and peaceful” one-on-one conversations.
The buffer zone law concerns any hospital or health care facility, but the case arose over demarcated areas outside two Pittsburgh abortion clinics. The plaintiffs argued the buffer zone makes it difficult to communicate their message and to distinguish passers-by from the clinic patients they want to reach. City lawyers had argued “sidewalk counseling” is a form of demonstrating.
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — A four-term Pennsylvania state senator who resigned after being arrested on child pornography possession charges is waiving his preliminary hearing. Court records show that Republican Mike Folmer waived the hearing Friday. It had been scheduled for Oct. 31. No trial date has been scheduled.
Investigators allegedly found two images of child pornography on Folmer’s cell phone after they asked him to turn it over at his house in Lebanon County.
The state attorney general’s office said it was acting on a tip from a social media website. Folmer hasn’t commented. A special election to replace Folmer is scheduled for Jan. 14 in the heavily Republican district based in Lebanon County. Folmer’s resignation left the 50-seat Senate with a 27-22 Republican majority.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Dave Matthews is part of a group of friends and family who enjoy board games. One friend, Brian Calhoun, invented a game and brought over a prototype. Matthews just smiled and nodded, but when they played it, he realized it was a pretty good game. Matthews helped Calhoun develop it into a game called Chickapig. It involves moving chicken-pig hybrids past hay bales and a pooping cow.
They also developed a board game called 25 Outlaws, that’s based on poker with a Wild West theme. Matthews says it came out of a challenge when Calhoun played a game he thought was stupid and saw that it sold “a bazillion copies.” Calhoun told him, “I can make a better game than this.” Chickapig and 25 Outlaws are both on sale now.
