Robert - it appears as though my Uncle Helix fable has disappeared. If it was inappropriate in anyway, I sincerely apologize. I am just giddy as a school child for the pending holiday.

Understood. You must admit that it is a possibility though….haha..lol…God Bless you and your family and have a wonderful holiday!

Outstanding Traffic Service Award Given to Baldwin Police

Nice to again see our police force recognize for their work!

there you have it . a boro employee let go .that pay cut should be enough to turn the street lights back on council. 66,000 dollars??????????????????????????????

There is more to police work then DUI's. Thankfully Whitehall Borough and Baldwin Township have excellent police departments and do more than just bust dui's.

CC, I have absolutely no sympathy for anybody who gets caught DUI. Compared to other municipalties, doe it seem a little excessive in Baldwin yes. But my suggestion is take the civil service test and become a police officer. Otherwise if you are really that unhappy with the work Baldwin P.D. does, please move to another county and quit crying about the police. You seem to forget the very police officers you complain about, will put their life in danger to protect you if necessary.

Bonita veraldi, i have to agree with you there.

CC, i don't drink either and as I have said, I have no sympathy for anybody who get's arrested for DUI. But it does seem like it is almost impossible to get stopped by the Baldwin P.D. and not be arrested for DUI.

Can we worry less about CC and his/her bashing of the Baldwin Borough Police, yet again. It is getting rather old by the way. We should focus on the real story here, an elected official and his failure to serve his constiuents. Running out of a meeting like a child because you don't get your way is no way to govern. Please take your ball and go home (never to return to council) Mr. Ferris. And for CC, as a business owner on the border of Baldwin and Whitehall borough I see this first hand, the Whitehall police are constantly dumping the problems they find wondering along the street in their community and dropping them off at my business in Baldwin Borough, pure laziness!

Purp Power - I agree with you and think Ferris should resign. Sounds like he took a temper tantrum like a little baby. We need adults in local government. He should go.

True, that is childish behavior on both counts.
Apologies in order IMO.

P.P.-YOUR very comments show why some of us have bad feelings toward the police of any area. Look at the news at any given day- there is almost always a story on a bad cop.When one has seen first hand the corruption of certain officers, it's a little hard to consider the rest of them as sterling.

As to cc's bashing, cc has still never come back to tell us exactly where she witnessed all this drug dealing on "Brownsville Rd up by Brentwood" and why she called the Baldwin Borough Police when that is not even in Baldwin Borough.
Not that it's worth "worry" on my part, but just to set the record straight, all her posts bashing the cops for this are still on Patch, but she seems unable to admit that she called the wrong police, if she even called anyone.

bonita that nukid has many id's on the patch and is always agreeing with itself on here. it is a pathetic thing as I haven't been on here for a few days as I have a real life outside of the Patch and collect its welfare check. To bad the pathetic thing doesn't have a real life.

Maybe if you actually knew some of the good ones, you would not keep trying to paint them all with the same brush. Doesn't matter if it is firefighters, police, teachers, council members, bus drivers, secretaries,or whoever---there are good and bad people in all walks of life.

The event will run from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.—free to the public—and will feature Christmas carolers, a deejay, crafters, hot chocolate, coffee, other treats, face-painting, a visit from Santa Claus and the lighting of the borough Christmas tree.

Baldwin Borough holiday event sounds nice. So glad it's scheduled early on a week night as all the weekend dates have filled in already!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
