Leftovers from Tuesday night's Baldwin Council meeting.
Triangle Pet Control Services Contract Ended By a unanimous vote on Tuesday night, the Baldwin Council officially ended Baldwin Borough's contract with Triangle Pet Control Services, which was shut down by officials from the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture on Oct. 1 after it allegedly defrauded the state by getting paid for services that it didn't perform. Baldwin Borough has been without animal control services throughout October as a result of the shutdown. On Oct. 2, borough Manager John Barrett said that Baldwin officials will "have to figure something out" in order to replace Triangle Pet. Borough Will Soon Stop Paying for Trash Collection at Apartments By another unanimous vote, the Baldwin Council agreed to have …

Notes from Tuesday night’s council meeting.
Vernon Landslide Costs Borough $462K When it’s all said and done, Baldwin Borough will pay Plavchak Construction, of Jefferson Hills Borough, $462,000 to repair a landslide that occurred on Vernon Avenue in the spring of 2011, according to Baldwin's engineer Larry Souleret. Due to difficulty handling utility lines in the area, workers have had to push back their completion date on Vernon to the end of September 2012. "We're finally wrapping it up," Souleret said during Tuesday night's Baldwin Council meeting. New Labor Contract A switch in health care providers from Highmark to UPMC for Baldwin Borough's construction, general labor and material handlers workers should save Baldwin "six figures," according to borough Manager John Barrett. …

The Wallace Building location adjusts to the times.
The Baldwin Borough Public Library needed a new carpet—badly. It had been 22 years since the old one was installed. So, library Director Joyce Chiappetta and her staff used that opportunity to redesign the library's space inside of the Wallace Building on Macek Drive in order to, as Chiappetta put it, "better meet the needs of our patrons." "Seventeen years ago," she said, "there was such a great demand for computers that a whole room was dedicated to computers and reference materials. Times have changed, and people now use home computers, (digital) notebooks, smartphones or our Wi-Fi to search the Internet. "So, we have turned the former computer room into a family room, with books, puppets and puzzles. Two computers are also there for …

Thousands are waiting to borrow a copy of "Fifty Shades of Grey."
If you're looking for a local copy of "Fifty Shades of Grey," get in line. Public libraries in Baldwin and Whitehall boroughs can't keep the steamy book on its shelves. "There are currently over 1,300 holds on this title," said Paula Kelly, director of the Whitehall Public Library, on Wednesday. "There are 1,344 people waiting for the book," added Joyce Chiappetta, director of the Baldwin Borough Public Library, on Thursday. "We have also been asked if we would consider hosting a discussion of the book." Public libraries in several states have banned 'Fifty Shades'—a novel by British author E. L. James that tells the story of a love affair between Christian Grey, a billionaire with a taste for sexual dominance; and Anastasia Grey, a naïve …
