A fundraiser is being held at the Getaway Cafe in Baldwin Township today, Friday, April 5, for a local man fighting cancer. Kurt Hinish, a 1984 graduate of Baldwin High School and a volunteer coach for the Baldwin-Whitehall Youth Football Association, recently had surgery to remove a cancerous tumor from his colon.

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.

Getaway Donates $310 Toward Stray Cats Program

Amount does not include additional donations made directly to the project.

Responding to a stray cats issue that has bothered many Baldwin Township residents, Getaway Cafe owner Lou Manolios hosted a trap-neuter-return (TNR) fundraiser at his restaurant on July 12. Manolios said that the Getaway was "hopping" that day with diners that came specifically for the cats. But no matter what their reason for coming, 20 percent of all patrons' bills (before taxes and not including alcohol) was donated to the volunteer group Animals Against The Odds Rescue and Rehab (AATO) for a TNR program that will include many cats living behind the Getaway. All in all, July 12's diners raised $310 for the program through Getaway checks. And Manolios said that many people also came to the restaurant with cash to add directly to the pot…

The spayneuter program is tremendous and having cats around is a great advantage. They keep the mouse and rat population out of our neighborhoods. I would much rather see cats and kittens than rats and mice but we do need to make sure the cats are spayed/neutered or they will overpopulate.   more ›

Getaway Cafe to Host Fundraiser for Stray Cats Program

The Baldwin Twp. restaurant will donate 20 percent of patrons' bills on July 12.

It's not just about his cats, but it might as well start there. Responding to a stray cats problem that has affected a large part of Baldwin Township, including behind his restaurant on Sussex Avenue, Getaway Cafe owner Lou Manolios has decided to partner with volunteer group Animals Against The Odds Rescue and Rehab to raise funds for the entrapment and neutering of loose cats.
