Cops: Pa. woman served laced burritos to family

ALLENTOWN, Pa. (AP) -- Police say an eastern Pennsylvania woman tried to poison her husband and daughter with burritos laced with prescription medicine. State police say 41-year-old Ann Marie Haines of Lower Macungie Township, near Allentown, was upset that she hadn't been invited to join her husband and daughter as they went car shopping. She allegedly crushed up the medicine and put it in some black-bean burritos that she served to her family. Her husband and daughter complained of feeling dizzy and tired.

Dorney Park neighbors don't want fireworks every night

ALLENTOWN, Pa. (AP) -- There are some fireworks in an eastern Pennsylvania community because of an amusement park's summer plans. Dorney Park in Allentown wants to have a seven-minute fireworks show every night for eight weeks. Some people living in the near the park say that is a lot of noise and there are other ways to attract customers. Park spokesman Bernard Bonuccelli says most of the park's neighbors will not even see or hear the show. Other neighbors say daily fireworks could take away from the park's special holiday fireworks shows.

Birth of anteater has Conn. zoo staff puzzled

GREENWICH, Conn. (AP) -- An anteater has given birth at a Connecticut conservation center, prompting officials there to wonder how the mother conceived. Officials at the LEO Zoological Conservation Center tell the Greenwich Time they had removed the only male anteater from the enclosure in August, long before the six-month gestation period for baby Archie would have begun. They feared that male, Alf, would kill another baby in the pen. That left the mother Armani, and the young female, Alice, in the enclosure. But little Archie was born in April anyway.
