Irwin police to get golf cart
Irwin police will have another vehicle to use during the many community events that are held in the borough.

Mayor Jeff Clem said the golf cart will be kept at the police station. The word “police” will be placed on the cart.
Irwin gets 1 candidate for council vacancy
The opportunity to serve the remaining few months of former Irwin councilman Mike Yunn’s term drew only one candidate.
Nick Powanda, who won the Republican nomination in the spring primary, was the only person who applied to serve the remainder of Yunn’s term, which expires at the end of the year, said Shari Martino, borough manager. Yunn resigned from council on Aug. 9 because he moved out of the borough.
Powanda is one of three candidates who will be on the November ballot for three seats on council. The two other candidates on the ballot are incumbents — Rick Burdelski and Shawn Stitely.
