Chatham County courthouse officiates Valentine's Day weddings
SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) — Six Chatham County Judges and the Superior Court Clerk are dedicated Valentine's Day to officiating weddings.
Over a dozen couples were wed on Friday, February 14 at the Montgomery Street Courthouse. On a rare occurrence for the site, love was in the air.
'This is a great day to be in the courthouse,' said Judge Lisa Colbert. 'Instead of dealing with cases that don't make me smile. This has been wonderful. We are three weddings down, and I think about 15 more to go. So this is wonderful for me and my colleagues and all of the staff, including the Sheriff's office staff who works here at the courthouse.'

Public pool reopened after closing last summer
SCRANTON, LACKAWANNA COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU)— After a public pool in Lackawanna County was closed last summer, it's back open this year with some renovations. The ribbon cutting was held at Connell Park pool in Scranton. The pool has been in the area since the 1970s and became dilapidated. The city allocated 1.1 million for the repairs, money that came out of the American Rescue Plan Act. 'In these past five years, we've been able to invest over $26 million in recreational facilities throughout the whole city. All of our neighborhoods from Connell pool here in southside to a cricket pitch in center city, all sorts of dog parks that are new, the pool facilities, the splash pads. There's something for everyone here in Scranton and we're excited to keep building on the amenities,' expressed mayor Paige Cognetti. Connell Park is one of three outdoor pools open this summer in the Electric City. The pool will officially open Saturday morning and will be open daily from noon to 6 p.m. through labor day.
