The Times Leader from Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania • 20

20A Hie Times Leader, Wlltos-Barre, PA, Thursday, August 1 5, 1996 GOP Gorski she graduated from Freeland High School in 1976. She graduated from Bloomsburg University with a degree in business education and was employed at the time of her death at General Foam in the Valmont Industrial Park. Police this week have been questioning Deborah Gorski's associates. Bob Flume said he was one of about 10 of her co-workers interviewed by state police earlier this week. He said police told him it was routine to talk with co-workers after a death, but he would not say what questions the police asked.

In April, Deborah Gorski's brother-in-law, Anthony Panza-rella, a Hazleton Area school teacher who also graduated from Bloomsburg University, was found dead in his car in a church parking lot, an apparent suicide. Neighbors in Oakmont Acres said they did not know the childless couple well but described them as "very nice." Many of the approximately 150 people who attended the funeral Polls: Convention giving Dole a boost NEW YORK CAP) Bob Dole apparently is getting the expected "bounce" from his party's convention. ABC and NBC polls released Wednesday found the Republican presidential nominee closing within 10 points of President Clinton in a head-to-head contest Dole was 8 points behind Clinton in NBC's three-way matchup including Ross Perot and 10 points back in ABCs the closest Dole has come to Clinton in either poll since carry this year. A CBS poll released Wednesday found Clinton's approval rating down a bit and voters giving Dole Improving odds of winning this fall. It also found the GOP faring much better as the party that would make the tax system fair, but skepticism remains to-" ward Dole's tax-cut plan.

In the two-way race, Clinton got 52 percent and Dole 42 per-v (Continued from Page 1A) but I can see his actions." she said. Mrs. Dole's appearance was crafted with a viewing audience of millions in mind: The crowd roared with approval as she strolled talk-show style from the convention podium into the mass of delegates, making a few pre-arranged stops to Introduce people who shaped her husband's life. Among them: the widow of the orthopedic surgeon who operated on Dole eight times after he was wounded in Italy, and a nurse who helped Dole learn to walk again. Mrs.

Dole said her husband was "the strongest and most tender and compassionate man I know." Dole watched from his hotel suite and waved approvingly to his wife when the image was shown on the podium's giant video screens. Kemp was at his side. TV networks broadcast the scene during two hours of live medication for a spouse or other family member. "But it's a matter that's been discussed by investigators and we're going to look into it for a definitive answer," said Olszewski He said Gorski has been cooperating with investigators. An ethics expert with the American Medical Association contacted by The Times Leader questioned whether it was proper for Gorski to become involved in his wife's medical treatment and comment on the cause of her death.

Dr. Robert Tenery Jr. of Dallas. Texas. vice-chairman of the AMA's Council of Ethics and Judicial Affairs, said a doctor should treat a family member only in an emergency.

Tenery was surprised Eugene Gorski offered an opinion to the assistant county coroner as to the cause of his wife's death. "It's such a conflict of interest, an outside party should make that judgment and not a spouse," Tenery said. "The coroner should have looked into it further." The council does not believe a doctor should prescribe drugs to a family member unless it means merely calling in a refill for a lapsed prescription when the regular doctor Is unavailable. Eugene Gorski's co-workers at Hazleton St. -Joseph Medical Center declined to comment on the doctor, who worked for the Geis-inger Medical Group in Wilkes-Barre in the mid 1980s.

At that time, he lived with his then-wife, Patricia, in Dallas. Deborah Gorski's obituary said she was class salutatorian when done," Olszewski said. "We expect that the process win continue over the next couple of days." Olszewski said routine investigative police techniques such as photographing the scene could: not be performed because of the delay in notification. By the time police Investigators arrived at the Gorskfs home at 3 LatUmer Road on Sunday. Deborah Gorskfs body had been re- -moved.

"Common sense tells you that the sooner everyone who is going to do the Investigation is called, the better and easier it is," said State Police Lt Robert BartaL "It becomes more difficult if the body Is removed. That doesn't mean there's critical or fatal flaws." Deborah Gorski was found by her husband at 12:30 p.m. Saturday in the couple's home in Oak-mont Acres in Hazle Township. Luzeme County Assistant Coroner Jeffrey Flerro was called to -the home, where the couple lived alone, and pronounced Deborah Gorski dead. Officials said they do not know who contacted Fierro.

Gorski said no one was home at the time of the alleged suicide, according to the petition. According to the petition, The husband. Dr. Eugene Gorski, recently prescribed for the deceased 90 tablets of a drug known as Alprazolam, an anti-anxiety medication." The Physician's Desk Reference says the drug is usually prescribed to be taken three times a day. Ninety pills, then, would be a month's supply.

Olszewski said investigators do not know of any legal prohibition barring a doctor from prescribing (Continued from Page LA) drugs, police were not called to the scene, according to the court order. The same court order cites police findings that include: inconsistent statements of witnesses, unidentifiable marks on Deborah Gorskfs face and the fact that her husband recently prescribed 90 tablets of an anti-anxiety drug for his wife. "A full autopsy is warranted in the Interest of Justice," reads the order, which was written by the investigating agencies and signed Wednesday morning by Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas Judge Aim Lokuta. Investigators refused to elaborate on the new information contained in the order. Police were not told of Gorskfs death until after county coroner Dr.

George Hudock Jr. performed a partial autopsy Sunday. At that time. Hudock said the cause of death was pulmonary edema, a buildup of fluid in the lungs. He said the manner of death had not been determined.

The initial autopsy did not include an examination of all parts of the body, Olszewski said. After performing a full autopsy Wednesday, Hudock said the cause of death remains the same but the manner of death still could not be determined. Samples of tissue and urine were collected and sent for toxicological testing. The results of those tests win not available for at least a week, investigators said.

The five will no longer work for the station after Friday, but they will still be employed by Diversified Communications until the FCC approves the transfer of the license to Nexstar. On June 17 it was announced that Nexstar had purchased the station from Diversified for between $20 million and $28 million. Nexstar is a joint venture between Sook and the Boston-based investment firm ABRY Partners Inc. Three weeks after the Nexstar purchase was announced, the station fired three key off-air personnel: news director Bob Yuna, program director Harry Mc-Clintock and chief engineer Joe Balkan. The remaining cuts, Sook said, are a financial necessity in light of WYOlTs Increase in news broadcasts with the addition of News 22 This Morning, which debuted this week.

"We now air more local news each weekday than any other station serving this market" Sook said. "However, in reviewing WY OlTs staffing patterns and needs, we found that we still had more people than necessary to do the job." Everitt, who co-anchors the 6 p.m. and 1 1 p.m. newscast said acting news director Kathy Cu-sanelli broke the news to him last week. Dunleavy, who co-anchors the 5:30 p.m.

newscast said she was recently told of her pending dismissal by Sook. Everett said the news of his pending dismissal came as a surprise because a few weeks ago he was told by Sook that his Job was secure. "Shortly after he (Sook) took over, I had a great job offer from a television station in New York," Everitt said. "I told him about the offer and asked where I stood with Channel 22. "He said he wanted me stay on with WYOU and that my future here was secure," Everitt said.

"So I turned down the New York job offer." Everitt said he feels betrayed. "It's disappointing that someone would shake your hand and say 'don't worry when in actuality, you have every reason to worry. What really bothers me is that he told me one thing, when he could have just told me the truth." Everitt said he also was disap- campaign has been a quiet little- known effort thus far.
