Senator pat toomey says that hell probably reintroduce legislation to expand background checks on gun purchases but it may require some changes to make it happen. The republican senator says he wants to see how many senators support it when the Senate Returns to session. The bill first emerged after the 2012 slaying of 26 children and adults in connecticuts sandy hook elementary school. It failed then and at least one more time since then. With beer and wine sales now becoming the norm in pennsylvania super markets, a document for a Delaware County community may put the cork back on those beverages. Our bruce gordon has the story from nether providence township. Reporter bill levin spent part of this springlike day hosing down his nearly new corvette in the drive way of his surrey road home. The vet packs a whole lot of power but not as much as levins. You hold an awful lot of sway in this matter dont you. Well, we could but we hope it can be settled on a friendly basis. Nobody wants to have a big brouhaha from us and the acme shopping center. Reporter brouhaha, get it. The nearby acme supermarket on Baltimore Pike at beatty road wants to sell beer and wine to stay competitive with other markets and Convenience Store in our region. Acme itself sells the stuff at 23 of its other locations but this store is different. And heres why. A 1959 deed restriction entered into by the land owner and 30 homeowners from the Bowling Green subdivision next door bans the sale of alcoholic beverages on the site. Acme now has a Liquor License but nether providence township manager Gary Cummings says the store needs the unanimous approval of neighbors to put it to use. If one holds out, theyre up the creek so to speak. Reporter cummings says he believes neighbors could be persuaded to allow beer and wine sales but may demand that acme make improvements to a store that has its own people admit seen better days. After all, septa tracks and a privacy fence are all that separate neighbors from the potential nuisance of beer and wine sales. I think theyre leaning toward lifting the deed restriction but they want on the other hand they want all these improvements including security cameras, they want the spic and span store, so i if they want to give up something they want to get something. Correct theyre holding the cards. Reporter Bowling Green says theyve had problems with the strip center in the past mainly from restaurants they say stunk up the neighborhood. Theyll think long and hard before letting acme sell brew and bordeaux. This is our neighborhood. Its a great neighborhood and we want to keep it that way. Reporter acme says its got a clean record of legal and efficient sales of beer and wine at its other locations in the area. A spokesman in a written statement tells fox 29 we look forward to working with more communities so customers in area can have the same level of convenience. Final resolution, a yea or nay from neighbors could be weeks, even months away. In nether providence Bruce Gordon Fox 29 news. Big announcement from one of the biggest names in tv. Wendy williams on the recent diagnosis that will keep her off the air for weeks. Kristen. Iain eagles faced a lot of injuries this season and apparently some of those players battled while hurt. Find out who is going through the Recovery Process now ahead in sports. Hi everybody. A surprising revelation at the start of fox tvs Wendy Williams show. The hot topic today was about the disease thats going to keep wendy off the air for awhile. Our joyce evans is here now to break down graves disease and what that could mean for wendys future. Well, iain as you know all sorts of rumors were flying even before Wendy Williams fainted on tv during her halloween show. But what she announced today sent a lot of people running straight to google to see what it is. In fact, thyroid diseases are a lot more common than you might think. What the hell is going on with wendy . Its how the talk show queen Wendy Williams began her big announcement. My thyroid, my hyperthyroid is attached also to graves disease. An autoimmune disease affecting one in 200 people. Women more than men. Asians and africanamericans more than caucasians. So, thats the reason for all of your metabolic processes start getting rev owed up. I feel like there are birds swimming around in my head, you know like a cartoon. [laughter] constantly high. But not high. Your heart rate, your metabolism, you start to lose weight, jury jittery anxious, all of those things are a result of too much of that thyroid hormone. But what causes the thyroid to start overproducing hormones. We dont really know for sure. It probably has something to do with a genetic. Dr. Mike cirigliano at penn medicine says some medication can be linked to thyroid disease as well as smoking but there are signs before the worst can happen. Dr. Mike says he suspected it when we all saw wendys warning live on tv. It was scare it it was scary. The first line of treatment are medications. Then a more definitive treatment is radio iodine therapy and thats where the thyroid gland is actually radiated and then theres also surgery is available. As of today, three weeks of vacation. Well, wendy sort of makes light of it all all day in true wendy fashion but doctors tell us she should be fine and even if it takes more than three weeks, there is no reason that Wendy Williams wont be back with more hot topics and her signature how you doing. Iain. All right, joyce. [laughter] thanks. Seems every new building comes with its flaws. The conversion of the old Spring Garden school into some affordable rental units opened wth fanfare and pride last fall. It set in north philadelphia and houses seniors and vets, many of whom have disabilities like carolyn sample but the buzz in security door hasnt really ever worked so residents have to wait at the door to let in caregivers and make it nearly impossible to get package deliveries including their medicine. Sample found one of her packages left on a table opened and the contents werent there. It is very frustrating cause all i want do is get my mail and i do have medication that comes through the mail and so i was told this a suggestion would be to send my mail somewhere else. Well, the landlord and help u. S. A. Is apologizing saying some Software Problems have been preventing the door from working but they say even when that door works, tenants will still have to figure out how to coordinate package deliveries to a time when they or management staff can personally receive them. Lets get back to your fox 29 Weather Authority now as we take a look at reading in berks county. All that record warmth, well, its on its way out of here. Kathys forecast in just 15 seconds. This is Rehoboth Beach delaware and its busy on this wednesday night and why not . We had some all time february high record breakers today in reading, allentown, wilmington trenton and the poconos. Its never been this warm in the month of february. Reading at 82, allentown 81. Unheard of. And they were shattering records today pretty much everywhere. Philadelphia its 72, williamsport at 60. Theres a cold front to the west. Pittsburghs only 46. Toronto 34 and cold enough for snow in cleveland at 35 degrees. And that cold air is going to be moving our way. Its not going to stick around long and its not going to be frigid but it will be a dramatic change. Consider this. Temperatures are about 32 degrees above normal today. So, we have to kind of get back to a balance here. You can see some showers out ahead of the front entering the western part of chester county, northern parts of montco and already into places likely high county and berks county. A few rumbles of thunder possible with this so dont be surprised if theres a flash right before Lancaster County and thats going to be moving through this evening. Its part of a wider system. This is actually the front. You see all the rain associated with it and behind it much cooler air. The problem is the front is going to stall and as it does, areas of low pressure will ride along that front like a train and that means thursday periods of rain, about a half an inch of rain expected. Friday periods of rain will add on another quarter of an inch and then even during the day on saturday a rain. I think thats going to be the driest of the stretch and then well see some heavy rain moving in. Again on sunday and were talking about 2inches when all is said and done. We dont dry it out really until next monday so this is a little bit of a weather rut. Overnight tonight low temperatures will be in the 40s so its all liquid. In the poconos a wintry mix possible with that. The temperature bottoming out at 32 degrees. Now, during the day tomorrow, periods of rain of course, the high only 49. Winds out of the northeast about 10 to 15. So its going to be much cooler. Its going to get rid of the summer wardrobe and get back to the early spring wardrobe perhaps. On your sevenday forecast in the Weather Authority friday staying unsettled, 48. Were up to 60 degrees or close to it saturday. Sunday 64. Next week looks nice. High temperatures in the 50s and sunshine is back. Thats better weather, kristen, what do you think . That looks really good. Its starting to feel a little bit like spring, you know, im liking it kathy. The eagles super bowl season was impressive a guy who battled all year while hurt even more impressive.

His caption there, ill be back soon for another ring. Fly eagles fly. The allstar break is over. The sixers back in action in chicago tomorrow. Its the start of the last third of their season. Really before the playoffs. The sixers look good right now. Sitting in seventh in the eastern conference and on a five game win streak but they know they have to continue to gear up now for the post season ahead. Everything to me has to be done with with that type of disposition, that greater sense of importance because things are different in another, you know, whatever however many weeks, six weeks. Villanova has dropped two of their last four games now. Theyre dealing with some adversity. So as they take to the court tonight, against depaul, head coach jay wright is encouraging his guys to learn and use those struggles to their advantage. Nothing wrong with a bumpy road.

We we know we still have a lot of work to do and we did learn a lot from those games. Phillies new manager gabe kapler urging his team to be bold, nothing says bold like hitting kaplers car with a home run didnt batting practice. Thats what Nick Williams did yesterday.
