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.

School district may be buying property
Written by David Shaef

The Conneaut School District is apparently interested in buying property as school board members went into executive session following the Wednesday, November 13, meeting for, among other things, “specifically to discuss real estate strategy...” with school district lawyer George Joseph telling this reporter that there is an interest in acquiring property.

Where that property might be has not been shared with the public at this point but it is known that there are parking issues at the Conneaut Area High School complex.

In another matter at the November 13, meeting, board member Theressa Miller, and another individual, but mostly Miller, spent 25 minutes urging the board to consider having a nationally known speaker come in to address students at the two middle schools and then either CASH students or more likely a public meeting at the school with focus to be on preventing suicides, what to look for, community involvement, etc.
