Judge Says 'Sanctuary' Must Go

ALLENTOWN, Pa. - Ten hours a day, every day, Elizabeth Feudale-Bowes confines herself to a steel-and-porcelain shed outside her house. The place is as austere as a prison cell - but it's also her sanctuary from an outside world that she says makes her violently ill.
Some of the couple's neighbors in suburban South Whitehall Township complained that the 160-square-foot building is unstable and so unsightly it could drag down their property values. "For the wife's medical problems, there is sympathy. For the owner's defiance of the township's lawful directives, there is no excuse," Judge Carol McGinley ruled.
