15 banned from Pennsylvania casinos, gambling
(WBRE/WYOU) — The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board announced 15 people have been banned from Pennsylvania casinos and online gambling after going against various laws. Being placed on an Involuntary Exclusion List prohibits people from either gaming in a casino in Pennsylvania, via an online betting site regulated by the Board, or at a Video Gaming Terminal location. The Board placed nine people on the Involuntary Casino Exclusion List, including three adults who left minors unattended while gambling in a Pennsylvania casino: A man left his 3-year-old child in a vehicle in the parking lot of Rivers Philadelphia Casino for 4 minutes to gamble at a sports wagering kiosk. A man and woman left a 5-year-old child in a non-running vehicle for 50 minutes in the parking lot of Parx Casino when the outside temperature was 19 degrees, while they gambled at table games. Four banned from Pennsylvania casinos after abandoning kids to gamble The board says denying gambling privileges serves as a reminder that adults are prohibited from leaving minors unattended, since it creates an unsafe environment for the children. Six others were placed on the Board's Involuntary Interactive Gaming Exclusion list for fraudulent actions involving online gambling.

Emmy-winning '60 Minutes' producer speaks at University of Scranton
WILKES-BARRE TOWNSHIP, LUZERNE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — More than 700 University of Scranton students are headed off into the real world. They received their diplomas on Sunday and received words of inspiration from a former WYOU intern, now an Emmy-winning producer at 60 Minutes, Nicole Young. 'Scranton, even though it was tiny, felt really mighty,' Young stated. It's a full circle moment for Nicole Young, class of 2000 from the University of Scranton. She began her career journey at The 'U,' receiving her degree in communications. 'All of it seemed so brand new, and that was exactly what was so fascinating about it,' Young explained. As a college sophomore, Young interned at WYOU in 1997 before studying abroad in 1998. That first newsroom experience sparked a passion that eventually led her to 60 Minutes, where she's now a senior producer with 16 Emmy awards. But it all started in the Electric City. 'It felt homely, it felt safe, and it felt like a place where I had friends who became family,' Young added. The graduating class she spoke to came from all over the country and the world to don their caps and gowns at Mohegan Arena. Two week search for missing girl has tragic ending The students hail from 17 states as well as China, Ireland, and Vietnam. Young's message to these graduates wasn't just about success, but also what it takes to earn it. 'A lot of things you need in life to succeed really are the things that happen when you least expect it. I didn't know that most of life happens between your plans, in the gaps, in the messy middle,' Young continued. She reminded students that the most important part of the journey is simply staying on the path. 'So when the days are hard, when your confidence is MIA, show up. When the job is messy, show up. Because that's where life is. That's where the growth is,' said Young. 'Everything you need is already in you. You have to believe in yourself, and understand: the harder the journey, the better the story,' Young said. Young's career proves success isn't a straight line, but showing up, even when it's hard, makes all the difference. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
