[naviga:h3]Report: Zoo knew wild dog dangers [/naviga:h3]

PITTSBURGH — A newly released report shows that Pittsburgh Zoo staff raised concerns about a child falling through an opening into an African painted dog exhibit on at least six separate occasions before a fatal mauling in 2012.

The federal report was released this month more than four years it filed a Freedom of Information Act request. The report found the zoo’s fencing around the wild dog exhibit was “not sufficient” to prevent 2-year-old Maddox Derkosh from falling into the exhibit. He was mauled to death by the 11 painted dogs.

Many of the concerns raised by the safety committee were already made public in the course of the now-settled lawsuit by Maddox’s parents.

The zoo says it cannot legally comment on the matter due to confidentiality.

[naviga:h3]Hillary Clinton: Keep up fight[/naviga:h3]

PITTSBURGH — Hillary Clinton says teachers unions aren’t going anywhere despite a recent Supreme Court ruling and is urging educators to fight the Trump administration’s policies.

Clinton spoke Friday at the American Federation of Teachers Convention in Pittsburgh.

More than 3,000 union members are gathering this weekend to outline plans for the future.

The former Democratic presidential candidate, secretary of state and U.S. senator received the group’s Women’s Rights Award before addressing the crowd.

She denounced the Supreme Court decision that could undermine the financial footing of labor unions representing government workers.

She praised teachers’ activism in protesting for school safety and for more school funding.

She tells teachers to “keep standing up for an America where each child is treated with dignity and given the chance to be all they can be.”

[naviga:h3]Cyber intrusion into records revealed[/naviga:h3]

HARRISBURG — Pennsylvania officials have revealed that they had to shut down the state’s online system for birth and death records for about a week after someone with apparent inside knowledge made unauthorized changes.

State officials told The Associated Press on Friday that the changes were “cosmetic modifications” but that the intrusion triggered an extensive cyber investigation.

They say the investigation found no breach of data. They say no records were found to have been viewed, altered, created or deleted.

The Health Department’s computer system for vital records was offline from June 20 until June 26.

The state says law enforcement is involved in the continuing investigation.

Officials did not provide any more detail on the modifications they said were made.
