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.

Linesville council votes delay in night the annual Trick-or-Treat held
Written by David Shaef

If it wasn’t bad enough that Linesville is facing a no parade Water Fowl Expo event in September, Linesville Borough Council voted 5-1 at their meeting July 9, to break with Halloween Trick-or-Treat tradition and schedule the borough’s Trick-or-Treat Night a week later than usual.

Typically Trick-or-Treat is the 4th Thursday of the month, followed by a student’s off day at school that next day [Friday], followed by the Meadville Halloween Parade on Saturday.

This year there are 5 Thursdays in October with the actual Halloween date of October 31, being that 5th Thursday. School calendars in the county, already made up, call for the 4th Thursday, Oct. 24, to be a student day with Trick-or-Treat assumed that night, then the Friday Oct. 25, off, followed by the Meadville Halloween Parade on Saturday, Oct. 26.

In Linesville, to go along with the Trick-or-Treat Night, is Mickle’s Haunted Barn being open, and usually the Linesville Baptist Church holding a Fun Night at their church location.
