Shop 'n Save shoppers will receive 20 cents off per gallon of gas for every $50 that they spend on groceries from May 16 through 29.

Observing Passover in Baldwin-Whitehall: What You Need to Know

Here is a list of resources, events and services in honor of the Jewish observance.

It's almost time to break out the matzo. Passover arrives on March 25 this year, when Jews across the world will come together to retell the Exodus story over four cups of wine (or grape juice for those who can't indulge), and of course, a large, festive feast. Passover Traditions As the story goes, during their flight from slavery, the Jews did not have enough time for their dough to rise, resulting in a flaky cracker that is eaten instead of bread for a full week during Passover. The diet changes go beyond bread, however, and depend on family tradition. As a general rule, just look for the "Kosher for Passover" label, which, thankfully, spreads to more products year after year. Prior to the observance, Jews clean their homes and get rid …

Vernon Landslide Repairs, Labor Contract Savings and More Baldwin Boro News

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. …

Common Sense - The bidding for this project was open to all companies including any that were in the local area. Local companies were able to submit bids just like any other company. State law requires open bidding for a project of this size and once the bids are open, they are final. There is no such thing as opening a bid and then sharing that with another company so that they can match it or …   more ›

Car Flips into Baldwin Shop 'n Save Parking Lot

Investigation ongoing to determine if the driver was impaired.

Three men were taken to UPMC Mercy Hospital early on Sunday morning after their car went over a guardrail, into a utility pole, flipped and landed in the Shop 'n Save parking lot along Joseph Street in north Baldwin Borough. Baldwin police Chief Michael Scott said that he does not know if the driver was impaired when he failed to negotiate a hard left bend while coming down the hilly Joseph Street between Steiner and John streets shortly before 2 a.m. The grocery store was closed at the time, and no other people are believed to be injured as a result of the crash. And the three men, amazingly, did not suffer life-threatening injuries, Scott said. Two of the men were able to free themselves from the vehicle, but emergency crews had to cut …
