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.

Fire consumed the business block of the little town of Adamsville the night of Wednesday, January 28 - the post office, Uncle Meatball’s Pizza and Subs, and the pottery/ceramic shop, along with six apartments in the two building complex in the West Fallowfield township area, south of Hartstown and North of Greenville.

Cause of the fire was unknown at press time on Friday, January 30, the fire called in just around 8:20 p.m. January 28. 30 fire companies from two states - Pennsylvania and Ohio - were called in to fight the intense fire with flames seen from miles away, firefighters able to save a garage in back of the business block and the former Garvin Industries building, sitting just across the alley next to Uncle Meatballs.

Firefighters were at the scene until 5:30 a.m. on Thursday, Jan. 29, but were called back twice when flames rekindled.

State Police fire investigators were at the scene Thursday morning but were hampered by the hot spots that remained. Twice the fire rekindled after fire fighters left about 5:30 a.m. Thursday, Jan. 29 morning - one at about 6 a.m. and again at about 9 a.m.

Reportedly the fire began in the building that housed the post office, pottery shop and three apartments. It was said the fire may have started in the post office building.
