The house fire in Fayette Township, which was covered in Monday’s edition of the Sentinel, was the home of EJHS teacher Drew Ciecierski and his wife, Daris. According to a GoFundMe established by the family, Drew was able to get their daughter out of the residence. When he re-entered the home (after leaving his daughter with a neighbor) to save his wife, the fire had grown worse. He was able to get Daris to safety, but not before both suffered severe burns requiring significant medical treatment. Daris received burns over 89% of her body, and the home was a total loss.

PENNSYLVANIA Enforcement of restaurants in violation of COVID-19 protocols continues in Pennsylvania, but the number of new establishments willing to stand in open defiance seems to be diminishing.
Just three restaurants were ordered to be shut down by the Department of Agriculture s Bureau of Food Safety over the most recent enforcement period, covering the week from Jan. 25 to Jan. 31.
That s tied for the the smallest number of restaurants shut down in a single week since mid-December. Just three restaurants were shut down the previous week, as well, following several weeks of anywhere from over a dozen to up to 40 shut downs being announced.
