David Schaef update: (12/05/23)

I spoke with David yesterday. He had just arrived at the Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital in Erie.

There are still a couple of issues to resolve, and David is optimistic that Encompass has the skills. We didn't speak much of medicine and health, most of the conversation was about our subscribers and the Community News newspaper.

I was much encouraged by the tone of his voice and the idea he was interested in talking about Community News. So, he’s at that, “I want to get back to work” stage of healing.

He talked about his subscribers and a letter he is composing for them. He talked about how to proceed with the newspaper when he gets home.

He said he hopes to be home in 2 weeks.

Thank You all for your Love and Prayers and Well Wishes.

A discussion ensued and McLean will return to a future Council meeting to review ongoing developments for the project.

Under the CLCDC, Eldridge announced that the CLCDC is circulating a petition for Borough voters to put an alcohol referendum on the Borough voting ballot in regard to allowing the sale of alcohol within Borough limits.

Currently, the town is “dry.”

The referendum has been voted down twice before, and this is the third attempt to have voters decide whether to allow alcohol sales within the Borough limits.

It should be made clear to local residents that it is the CLCDC, not Borough Council, who is proposing the alcohol referendum. All questions should be directed to Eldridge of the CLCDC.
