UPDATE: Ford Gets to 1-2 Years in Brentwood Nude Photos Case

The Baldwin Borough man also gets eight years of probation for unlawful contact with minor-sexual offenses.

UPDATE: Ford pleaded guilty on Sept. 18 to unlawful contact with minor-sexual offenses, and the remaining charges were all withdrawn. He was sentenced to 1-2 years of confinement and eight years of probation. The Allegheny County Police Department arrested Daniel Edward Ford, a 46-year-old man from Baldwin Borough, in February on charges that Ford solicited nude photos of minors. Online court documents show that the illegal activity began as early as June 2011. The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review is reporting that Ford exchanged cash, drugs and services such as body piercings in exchange for the nude photos of five Brentwood Middle School girls aged 12 to 14. The Tribune-Review is also reporting that Ford even did some of the piercings himself. …

Niki like many others you have had the proverbial wool pulled over your eyes about this man. Prison is where he belongs and should stay. 1-2 years... That is sad. I agree with cc people like Dan should be and need to be off the streets. Niki get your facts straight, and for your sake I hope you didn't actually know the man.   more ›

PHOTOS: Baldwin Borough Library Gets Makeover

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 …

Novak and Bonetti are accused of misusing approximately $25,000 over approximately five years, including the cashing of checks at a Baldwin bar and beer distributor.

Leonard "Len" Novak and Stephen Bonetti, chief and deputy chief, respectively, of the Becks Run Volunteer Fire Department in north Baldwin Borough, turned themselves in to police on Friday morning at the Wallace Building office of District Magistrate John N. Bova. Novak, 48, of Churchview Avenue, and Bonetti, 43, of Pleasantvue Drive, are being charged with misusing approximately $25,000 from the Pennsylvania firemen's relief fund over an approximately five-year period, Baldwin police Chief Michael Scott said.

John Sr, did you ever stop to think that maybe while traveling through or to a particular area of the community, the officer spotted someone driving carelessly, erratically, etc and then pulled them over?

Many of them are not from our borough, wonder how they would feel if we drove drunk on their neighborhood …   more ›

Staff Cuts, Furloughs Help Baldwin-Whitehall Balance its Budget

Some teaching and other staff positions will be eliminated for 2012-13.

The Baldwin-Whitehall School Board rejected a proposal by B-W School District administrators at a meeting on Wednesday night to raise district taxes, opting instead for no tax increase. But proposal rejections by the school board were still rare on Wednesday, as the board also approved the elimination of several teaching and other staff positions in Baldwin-Whitehall in order to balance its 2012-13 budget. Gone for 2012-13 are the positions of director of pupil services, assistant transportation manager and technology department technician. And the employees assigned to those positions—Virginia Deasy, David Sparrow and Paul Huwalt, respectively—have each been furloughed. Also eliminated were one English, science and social studies teacher …
