Country Porches
Having a baby sure changes things.
Just ask Jersey Shores Nicole Snooki Polizzi, the hellion-turned-homebody who, after weeks of speculation and denial, finally admitted that she is expecting a bundle of joy.
No more peeing on porches. Those days are over, said Polizzi, who is in her 15th week of pregnancy.
The pint-sized, pouf-haired party girl, known for her wild reality TV antics, tells Us Weekly magazine she is a changed woman now that motherhood is around the corner.
Though shes excited now about the prospect of being parents with fianc Jionni LaValle, bliss wasnt exactly her first reaction.

WITH CHILD: Dad-to-be Jionni LaValle lives it up with then-immature Snooki last summer, before the pregnancy.
S--t, she said to herself at the time. Ive been drinking. I was worried. It was New Years Eve and we were in Vegas, so I did go crazy.
Viewers know that crazy is practically Polizzis middle name. Her antics include a 2010 arrest for creating a public nuisance and an all-out brawl with roommate Angelina Pivarnick over a guy.
And, of course, theres that whole peeing on the porch thing.

Snooki’s baby talk
It's official. Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi is pregnant and engaged, and the breakout star of MTV's "Jersey Shore" is vowing that her days of peeing on porches are over.
She also said she won't film any "Jersey Shore" this summer.
In an interview with Us Weekly magazine, Polizzi said: "If anything, I'll visit the shore. I'm not living in that house being pregnant. I don't want to be one of those moms who's pregnant in a club. It's disgusting."
The pint-sized 24-year-old and the unborn baby's father, 24-year-old Jionni LaValle, ended weeks of speculation by opening up to the magazine about their happy news, discussing the baby's gender, Polizzi's morning sickness and weird food cravings, and how they plan to parent.
Polizzi had been denying the pregnancy rumors for weeks, and told the magazine she didn't want to share the news before the end of her first trimester.
"I wanted to make sure the baby is OK. Things can go wrong, like a miscarriage. It was my business, and I wasn't ready to tell," she said.
Even though the baby wasn't planned, she and LaValle said they were ecstatic when they found out - and went through five pregnancy tests to be sure.
Albert Lee, the executive editor of Us, told "Good Morning America" that Polizzi noticed shortly after the new year that she could be pregnant.
"Snooki and Jionni were in Las Vegas for New Year's Eve, they were partying it up, ringing in the new year, the week after that Snooki noticed she was a week late and she actually told us that she always carries a pregnancy test with her, and whenever she's late, she does a test just to make sure. She said her first thought was that she freaked out because she did go out and party quite a bit on New Year's Eve, but obviously those days are now over for her, she's done with the booze, she's done with the partying. She's fine with putting all that on the back burner while she prepares for motherhood," Lee said."
But not everyone was as happy about her impending motherhood, she revealed.

It's official: Snooki's pregnant, engaged
The Lancaster County couple accused of stealing dozens of holiday packages off of local doorsteps is now slapped with another 30 theft charges.
Both Christopher and Patricia Burnett of Manheim Township now face a total of 45 theft charges each for allegedly stealing several packages off of local properties throughout the holiday season.
Adam Frederick of Manheim Township says he and his neighbors were relieved to hear that the couple who allegedly stole several holiday packages off of local front porches last December were caught and charged.
I just went door to door thinking maybe it got delivered to the wrong house, Frederick added.
But now Frederick and his fellow victims know the truth. 40-year-old Christopher Burnett and 37-year-old Patricia Burnett of Lititz Pike were charged with 15 counts of theft in January.
Just this week, Manheim Township Police slapped the couple with another 30 theft charges each.
Im sorry that if they had fallen upon hard times and didnt have anywhere else to turn in the holiday season, Frederick told CBS 21. The rest of us work hard for what we have and I dont think should take stuff from other people.
CBS 21 News stopped by the Burnetts Manheim Township home Wednesday; no one came to the door.
Police say the couple stole upwards of $6,000 worth of items between December 9 and January 5. Some of the stolen property was recovered from the suspects home.
The District Justices office tells us that all 45 theft charges are misdemeanors. The couple is expected to be arraigned next month.

The smell and sound of sawdust and power tools greets those visiting a Fishers of Men worksite.
For the last four years, the Sunday school class from P.G. Baptist Church has made it their mission to help those in need by constructing wheelchair ramps and porches for the disabled and elderly.
Since January of this year, the group has completed eight different projects.
Weve built six ramps and two porches, said group leader Tommy Hendley. We work at least one day a week on projects.
The Fishers of Men Sunday school class has an ever-growing list of projects, so, because of this, schedules are made out in advance.
We usually have lists made up three weeks out, Hendley stated. We try to do these projects on a need basis. If someone is really sick or having a hard time getting in and out, we try to help them first.
Building a handicap ramp has become a usual thing for the group of men.
We can build a ramp in a day, said Hendley. Sometimes people have the money to buy the materials, sometimes the housing coalition helps and then some of the projects we pay for ourselves.
Just last week, the group used their own funds to build a $700 handicap ramp for an individual in McDowell.

Residents of the Bishops Landing subdivision off Route 139 can see the tombstones from their back porches.
From some of the townhouses in the complex, the cemetery cant be more than 40 or 50 feet away.
So when bacterial contamination started to show up in the developments wells, people started to, as one town official put it, put two and two together.
The implication is gruesome, but state and local officials wont say directly that the cemetery is responsible for the contamination.
But whats certain is that the water in the wells is no good, and Bishops Landing residents will be footing the bill for the fix.
The 23-unit complex had been using a four-well water system for more than 20 years that was never registered with the state, a Department of Environmental Protection spokesman said last week.
The system is too close to, in addition to the graveyard, Route 139 and the paved access road to the cemetery all sources of potential groundwater contamination, officials say.
Health Agent Sandra Gabriel said she got a call from state Department of Environmental Protection in July of 2010 saying that E.coli bacteria had been found in the water.
There have been quite a number (of tests) with total coliform bacteria in the water, said Ed Coletta of the DEP.
Gabriel went to the development to advise residents to boil water before drinking it. She said the Board of Health has been working closely with the neighbors.

NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. (WIVB) - The strong wind gusts have caused plenty of damage around western New York.
Look up as you drive the 198 west toward the 190 interchange, and you'll notice a very big hole in the sky. Fierce winds tore down a billboard and sent it smashing onto a walking path Saturday morning. By good fortune, no one was around.
The owner of a Niagara Falls home is less fortunate. Winds toppled a 40-foot tree onto the house, taking out half the porch and ripping the tree's substantial roots right out of the yard. The caller who alerted our newsroom to the damage told us the only way to get around the porch is by using a ladder. A neighbor's house, she said, also took a hit.

Niagara Falls Arborist Paul Dickinson said, "We've got a payloader, some empty tandems. We'll start trying to remove it, away from the house, and remove the wood. Probably a couple hours, for this one."
Highway and utility workers across western New York spent dozens of man-hours clearing roads, hauling away tree limbs, and repairing downed power lines.
"We started at five o'clock this morning; [that's when] we got the first call. Our first priority is to open up all the streets for emergency vehicles. We just took a couple of limbs off the top of cars, so people could get out of the driveway," explained Dickinson.
According to the National Weather Service, the strongest gust to hit the region since the winds' overnight onset clocked in at 69 miles-per-hour. It hit the Niagara Falls International Airport just after 4 a.m.
Lake Erie continues to churn and splash with the wind, prompting a lakeshore flood advisory through the evening hours on Saturday. You can get all the latest weather alerts here.
