Two Vehicles Damaged in Whitehall, One by Arrow

Also, a defiant trespass charge, and police Chief Dolfi warns of identity theft.

The Driveway Games A resident from the 500 block of Marylea Avenue in Whitehall Borough contacted police at around 10 a.m. on April 10 to report that his vehicle was damaged by an arrow, Whitehall police Chief Donald R. Dolfi said. The resident told police that he parked his vehicle in his driveway during the afternoon of April 9 and noticed the damage the next morning. Two arrows were found on or near his property and a circular hole was left in the right rear-quarter panel of his Jeep. The arrows were camouflaged and had the words "Whitetail Extreme" written in white ink across them. The resident did not give anyone permission to hunt or target-practice on his property, Dolfi said. The chief did not rule out that a neighbor might have …

'Emmy' Has Been Found

She had been missing since Tuesday afternoon.

UPDATE (Friday, 2:25 p.m.): Emmy has been found.  ... The owners of a dog recently rescued from a shelter tell Patch that the dog ran away from her new home in Whitehall Borough on the border of Bethel Park and south Baldwin Borough at around 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday and that the dog is still missing as of early Friday. The dog's name is "Emmy," but because she was in a shelter for quite some time, she is shy and does not know her name very well. Some reports have Emmy as recently being seen in the areas of Provost and Weyman roads in Whitehall and across Route 88 in Castle Shannon Borough toward Wabash Avenue and Killarney Drive (near Baldwin Township). Other reports put Emmy in the area of Dormont Borough and Pittsburgh's Brookline …

Storage Facility, Flooding Complaints, Flags Disposal (Whitehall Council Notes)

Borough leaders convened on Wednesday night.

New Storage Facility The Whitehall Borough Council learned more at Wednesday night's borough meeting about the self-storage facility coming to Weyman Road at the spot of an old junkyard. Speaking on behalf of the facility's management, Kim Gales-Dunn, of the civil engineering company J.R. Gales & Associates, Inc., officially requested that they be permitted to build nine steel buildings on the Weyman property. That plan was not met with much resistance by borough leaders; though, Whitehall police Chief Donald R. Dolfi expressed concern with vehicles exiting the site onto Weyman. "Maybe the exit could be drawn back into the property versus coming out to the road to avoid obstructing traffic," Dolfi said. "It's about perception/reaction time…

Whenever I scout for good locations for our self-storage business, it is also very important to get the local council’s approval, and ensure that it does not disturb the peace of the locality.
