JANUARY 7 - Too many discrepancies in two years worth of treasurers reports. Thats according to a state police search warrant served Monday, which focuses on two Washington Township supervisors. People like Dennis Watkins of Pine Grove were surprised to hear about the investigation. "In this area that much money is kind of hard to believe that someone would have that and they could get access to," said Watkins. State Police are checking why township treasurer and secretary Walter Stump's records could be off thousands of dollars. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/34735661/ns/local_news-wilkesbarre_pa/

Displays, including a state and national arrowhead collection, butterfly collection, handmade quilts and the society's roving store will be available throughout the day. Home tours will be from 1 to 5 p.m. and include several quaint lakefront homes. People will be able to walk, drive or ride the 13-passenger pontoon Water Taxi to the homes on the south side of the lake.
