World's Most Advanced Cancer Treatment Comes to Milford

Continuing the pioneering efforts of bringing to Northeast Pennsylvania and the Tri-state area the most advanced technologies, the physicians of Northeast Radiation Oncology Centers have introduced their newest service, the TomoTherapy Hi-Art System. Until now available only in the largest metropolitan centers around the world, the very latest innovation in radiotherapy is conveniently available at home at the Upper Delaware Valley Cancer Center in Milford, Pennsylvania.

Dr. Michael Gallagher states, "We are also pleased that our new partner in NROC's medical group, Jose Luis Pino-y-Torres, M.D., is one of the most experienced radiation oncologists in the world in the use of TomoTherapy. Dr. Pino-y-Torres trained at Johns Hopkins, brought Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy to MD Anderson/Orlando, and was instrumental in bringing the first TomoTherapy Hi-Art System in the United States to that facility."

TomoTherapy is the most precise radiation cancer treatment for people with the most complex and challenging cases. "This cutting-edge technology allows the delivery of 360 degree precision radiation therapy, and will have tremendous positive impact on patients," states Dr. Pino. "It is the first system that provides 3-D imaging immediately prior to each treatment, confirming with pinpoint accuracy the exact location for the delivery of radiation."

The TomoTherapy Hi-Art System advances the 15-year commitment of the NROC group with Wayne Memorial Hospital, Honesdale, Bon Secours Hospital, Port Jervis, and Mercy Hospital, Scranton, in providing the very best cancer treatment and research for patients.

Altec Lansing Celebrates Expansion

MILFORD, PA (September 8, 2006) -- Altec Lansing employees cut the ribbon to their new 80,000 square foot warehouse, unveiled yesterday, at their Milford-based headquarters. The official scissors were handled by seven long-time employees, each with an Altec Lansing career of 30 years or more. The importance of honoring these dedicated employees illustrates Altec Lansing's longstanding appreciation for the resources here in the Milford area. With similar commitment to the local community, the electronics conglomerate built the new warehouse to strengthen its corporate operations in Pike County.

Altec Lansing CEO and President Bob Garhwaite kicked-off the ribbon cutting ceremony with a few words expressing Altec Lansing's pride towards this very important expansion project. The new warehouse will serve as storage and distribution for the company's broad variety of speaker systems and audio products. Planning for the project began in January 2006 and includes a water retention pond to supply a sprinkler system for fire protection. The warehouse is connected to Altec Lansing's existing 70,000 square foot warehouse.

Craig Boelsen, Vice President of Supply Chain, attended yesterday's event with the rest of Altec Lansing's local employees to celebrate what the new warehouse means: growth. "Once we determined our projected growth rate and storage requirements, we analyzed whether or not the best solution was to build additional warehousing or outsource warehouse space. Our decision to build came from both a business decision as well as a statement to the area. We have been here for 40 plus years and we are glad to call Northeast Pennsylvania our home," stated Craig Boelsen.

Today Altec Lansing employs a total of 1600 people worldwide with 133 employed at the Milford-based global headquarters. With the use of its new warehouse and two other distribution centers, located in California and Holland, Altec Lansing will continue to compete effectively in the quick-pace consumer electronics markets.
