The Pennsylvania Department of State has temporarily suspended the medical license of a once-prominent Butler County doctor and former Boy Scout leader convicted of molesting a child.
David Evanko, 58, now of Leola in Lancaster County, is awaiting sentencing for his conviction of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse and statutory rape.
Erie County Senior Common Pleas Judge Fred P. Anthony convicted Evanko in a non-jury trial last month of assaulting a boy between 1989 and 1995. Sentencing is scheduled for May 22.
The state's Board of Medicine suspended Evanko's license May 2.
Corrections officers push lunch grievance
The 72 current and former Butler County correctional officers suing over the jail's lunchtime pay policy will first have to take their complaint through a grievance process spelled out in their collective bargaining agreement with the county, a federal judge ruled on Thursday.
The correctional officers claim a clause in the labor agreement violates federal labor laws because it gives them a duty-free, one-hour lunch break but requires the county to pay for only 45 minutes of it.
The county asked U.S. District Judge Arthur Schwab to dismiss or stay the lawsuit because the agreement with Local 2640 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees requires any wage and hour disputes to go through a four-step grievance process before heading to court.
Schwab agreed and stayed the lawsuit until the guards exhaust the grievance process.
