Baldwin Manager Urges Duquesne Light to Pursue LED Technology

Also, the mayor is asked about Sgt. Miller, and news regarding a Kurt Hinish fundraiser.

How Are Those Lights Coming? Baldwin Borough Manager John Barrett said at Tuesday night's Baldwin Council meeting that he continues to urge Duquesne Light officials to investigate the possibility of installing LED lights in Baldwin. However, Duquesne Light, which owns the borough's streetlights, still does not have an LED lighting option ready for Baldwin in order to help the borough to save on energy costs. In 2012, Baldwin officials gave Duquesne Light the go-ahead to eliminate more than 27 percent of the borough's streetlights (all non-LED) in order to save money. Barrett said that he wrote a letter to Duquesne Light saying, essentially, "In our opinion, nothing's been done." Baldwin Mayor Alexander R. Bennett Jr. suggested that perhaps…

REMINDER: Kurt Hinish Fundraiser at Getaway Cafe This Friday

Hinish, a Baldwin grad, is recovering from the removal of a cancerous tumor.

Kurt Hinish has deep roots in Baldwin-Whitehall. A 1984 graduate of Baldwin High School, Hinish is a volunteer coach for the Baldwin-Whitehall Youth Football Association, and his wife, Tawnie, is a technology teacher for the Baldwin-Whitehall School District. Recently, Kurt, 46, had surgery to remove a cancerous tumor from his colon, and he is facing several months of chemotherapy, severely hampering his ability to work as a self-employed concrete contractor. In response, many members of the B-W community are rallying to help the Hinish family (which includes four children ranging in age from third grade to college-aged) with medical and living expenses in its time of need, starting with a fundraiser at the Getaway Cafe in Baldwin Township…

PHOTOS: Baldwin vs. Brentwood Youth Football

The Warriors took on the Dukes at Baldwin High School on Sunday.

Baldwin-Whitehall Patch reader and contributor Jeff Healy was at a youth football game between the Baldwin-Whitehall Warriors and Brentwood Dukes at Baldwin High School on Sunday. Healy got some shots of the Baldwin-Whitehall squad, which is made up of players not older than 11 years, and was kind enough to share them with us by uploading them to Patch's Pics & Clips gallery. Baldwin's 11-year-old team defeated Brentwood on Sunday, 36-6. You, too, can add photos and/or videos to our Pics & Clips gallery. Just follow directions on the Pics & Clips page. UPDATE: Reader Debbie Kemerer has added lots of photos, as well.  --- Follow the Baldwin-Whitehall Patch on Facebook and Twitter. Sign up for the daily Baldwin-Whitehall newsletter.

Thomas I am talking about all high school football, not just Baldwin/Whitehall. I enjoy watching the little kids play (my grandson's age ) as they are so innocent when they try to hard to make the right plays and end up running towards the wrong goal till the coach has to tell them to run in the other direction because they forget what side of the field they are running to. Just like watching …   more ›
