Wednesday night Councilman At-Large David Oh (R), 57, returned home in the Kingsessing section of the city after a long day at work and was unloading his car along the 5800 block of Thomas Avenue around 9:45 p.m. when an armed robber stabbed him in the side, police said. Oh's attacker — described as being in his 20s with a scruffy beard and dressed in black jeans, black sneakers and a black shirt with white writing — is still at large.

WHAT YOU MISSED YESTERDAY
Kellogg's to Close Montco Facility: Kellogg Co. will cut 292 jobs at its Horsham distribution center, according to a WARN notice the company provided to the state of Pennsylvania. The layoffs will take place between Aug. 4 and Aug. 17 at the facility on 100 Witmer Road, Suite 300. The cereal company moved into 22,177 square feet at Witmer Road in 2008, relocating from 13,069 square feet in Fort Washington. It had moved this eastern regional sales office to Fort Washington years ago when consolidating King of Prussia and Bucks County offices. Kellogg's is also closing a Pittsburgh facility and cutting 211 jobs there in the process – all part of a contraction happening around the country. In February, Michigan-based Kellogg's said was implementing a broader plan to shutter 39 distribution centers around the country as it ends direct delivery to retailers’ stores.
AROUND THE WORLD
Trump's Climate Decision Puts US on Lonely Path: President Donald Trump's decision to pull out of the landmark Paris climate accord sends an unmistakable message to the world: America First can mean America Alone. Trump's move, announced with great fanfare in the White House Rose Garden on Thursday, immediately leaves the United States isolated on a paramount global concern. It demonstrates the U.S. is willing to back away from a coalition it assembled just 18 months ago. Nearly 200 countries joined the landmark deal forged under Trump's predecessor. Now the U.S. stands with only Syria and Nicaragua as countries on the sidelines. Nicaragua balked because it found the deal's standards insufficient. It's a bitter blow to stalwart European partners who launched an aggressive campaign to convince Trump that American leadership is central to combating climate change. Even a direct appeal from the Vatican wasn't enough to persuade the president.
TODAY'S TALKER
Trump Climate Decision Endangers Human Health: President Donald Trump's decision to withdraw from the Paris climate change agreement will endanger human health and make it hard to prevent even more damage from global warning, medical groups said Thursday. Many studies clearly lay out the risks from climate change — including respiratory and heat-related illnesses, insect-borne infections, water-borne diseases, and threats to safe food and water. "The elderly, the sick, and the poor are especially vulnerable," the American College of Physicians said. "Climate change needs to be aggressively addressed on a global level, and the Paris accord is central to this effort," said ACP president Dr. Jack Ende. "Without U.S. leadership, achieving the voluntary targets agreed to by the 195 countries that signed the accord will be far more difficult. Today's decision therefore greatly increases the chances that the global effort to reduce carbon emissions will be insufficient to avert catastrophic consequences for human health.” Other groups said climate change is already damaging people's health.

Parents in Hazing Death Urge PSU to 'Admit Responsibility'
The parents of a New Jersey man who died after a hazing event at a Penn State fraternity in February are urging the university’s board of trustees “to admit responsibility so that the University can move forward.”
James and Evelyn Piazza, whose son Tim died two days after being found unconscious in the frat house of Beta Theta Pi on Feb. 2, penned a letter to the trustees ahead of a meeting by the board Friday.
The board was scheduled to meet in the morning behind closed doors with attorneys for the school. The governing body was to hold a public hearing at 1 p.m. to discuss “changes in the University’s relationships with Greek life organizations.”
The Piazzas vowed in their four-page letter dated May 31 to fight for changes in laws against hazing in Pennsylvania and nationally. But in the meantime, they wrote, Penn State should act.
“The University must introduce strict policies and procedures for existence and interaction of Greek Life and must put into place means in which to monitor and strictly enforce such policies and procedures,” they wrote.
Eighteen members of the fraternity have been charged with Tim Piazza’s death, including some who face involuntary manslaughter.
The scene depicted in the criminal complaint of the night and early morning hours that led to the 19-year-old death are chilling. It tells of an alcohol-fueled evening in which young men allegedly stood around and watched a former standout athlete from Lebanon, New Jersey, fall several times and eventually pass out on the floor.
Some frat members even allegedly prevented others from calling 9-1-1.
“Our son died on your watch. We will never see him again because of the Administrations failures to protect him and turning a blind eye to known problems,” the Piazzas wrote. “You now have an obligation to make the appropriate statements and changes to make sure this never happens again. The world is watching.”

Teacher Accused of Taking Upskirt Videos of Female Students
A high school teacher is accused of taking upskirt videos of his female students.
Eric Howell, 43, of Maple Shade, New Jersey is charged with endangering the welfare of a child, official misconduct and invasion of privacy.
Howell, who was a chemistry teacher at Lenape High School in Medford, New Jersey, allegedly captured upskirt videos and photos of female students in his classroom and the school’s hallways.
Investigators say Howell hid a camera in a coconut water box that was placed on the side of his briefcase. He would unscrew the cap of the box in his briefcase, walk closely to the female students and carry his bag in a way that allowed his camera to see up the girls’ skirts or shorts, according to police.
Investigators say a witness first saw Howell walking behind a female student and extending his arm sideways in order to position the camera under her skirt back on May 2.
"My friend came to church one day and he was telling us about his teacher that was doing this," Tajah Moore-Verdell, a friend of the witness, told NBC10. "He was asking us whether or not he should report him and we all said he should definitely report him."
The witness then reported the incident to school administrators who contacted police. Howell was also immediately banned from school property and school events, according to police.
"My friend is not letting anything like that go on for as long as it could have," Moore-Verdell said. "I was really proud of him. I felt like justice was served."
Investigators say they’ve determined Howell took upskirt videos of three students, one of whom he targeted more than once. He’s also accused of making an upskirt video at a convenience store.
Police searched through Howell’s home and seized several digital storage devices. Howell lives at the same complex where Moore-Verdell lives.
"I wouldn't have expected this," she said. "It hits really close to home."
Howell had been a teacher at the school since 2016. He was taken into custody Wednesday and lodged in the Burlington County Jail pending an appearance in Superior Court Thursday.

Cosby’s Accusers Say Trial Is ‘Moment We’ve Been Waiting for’
Some of Bill Cosby's accusers plan to be at the courthouse in the suburbs of Philadelphia on Monday where he will be on trial for allegedly drugging and molesting Andrea Constrand.
The trial is seen as a broader reckoning by many of the 50-plus others whose stories emerged in a cascade of interviews, press conferences and lawsuits in 2014 and 2015 accusing Cosby of sexually assaulting them.
Victoria Valentino and Therese Serignese, two of the many accusers, booked an Airbnb five minutes from the courthouse and ordered buttons emblazoned with a gladiola and these words: "We Stand in Truth."
Cosby, 79, has pleaded not guilty to assaulting Constand. He and his attorneys have suggested race, money or revenge might have fueled claims that began piling up a decade before they erupted into a full-blown scandal.

High School Senior Searches For Life Saving Bone Marrow
High school senior and athlete Marcus DiLeo-Vereen is on hunt for a bone marrow.
DiLeo-Vereen, an-18-year-old football player at William Allen High School in Allentown, is battling Severe Aplastic Anemia and is searching for a lifesaving marrow donation.
Severe Aplastic Anemia is a blood disorder. With this disorder, the bone marrow does not make enough new blood cells. When functioning properly, the bone marrow is supposed to make stem cells that turn into red and white blood cells as well as platelets.
Effects of this disorder can cause irregular heartbeats, an enlarged heart, heart failure, infections, bleeding and sometimes even death.
DiLeo-Vereen takes AP-classes and played three sports, but now he's often tired. and cannot go outside in order to avoid germs. DiLeo-Vereen is registered to attend Temple University this fall and plans to study pre-med. He hopes to have the bone marrow transplant by that time.
Because DiLeo-Vereen has no bone marrow matches in his immediate family, he has registered at Be The Match Registry, relying on strangers who sign up to be anonymous potential donors.
So far, there are no matches on the registry for the teen either.
William Allen High School is holding an event June 3 in an effort to sign people up as potential donors and find that life-saving match. People can have their cheek swabbed to join the registry.
