* Fake cop followed a teen driver on Crums Mill Road in Lower Paxton Twp., and eventually stopped her in neighboring municipality Friday. Since then, police have been searching for the uniformed man and issued a warning to female motorists to be careful. WHTM TV-27 has a video report.

* Work planned on Colonial Road bridge over I-81.

* New blog published by Linglestown reader and contributor KM focuses on gardening, frugal and greener living. Welcome to the blogosphere!

* Work started today to remove underground gas tanks at a former gas station on N. Mountain Rd. located next to 1st National Bank of Marysville. There are oodles of state and possibly federal environmental regulations dealing with fuel tanks, and most likely having the tanks in the ground has been hindering the sale of the property.
