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.

Controversy on Sunday tear down of Pachuk building
Written by David Schaef

Linesville Borough has received word that the tear down of the Pachuk Building is in the works with reports that the company performing the work scheduled the initial tear down for Palm Sunday, March 29.

Reports in to this publication had people objecting to that plan as Palm Sunday worship services would be taking place that morning at the Linesville Presbyterian Church - just across the street.

Linesville Borough Council vice president Kevin McGrath confirmed on Friday morning, March 20, the demolition company had informed the borough their plan was to tear down the building on Sunday, March 29, that they would have the building down in one day though cleanup would not be complete.

McGrath said the company thought there would be less traffic on a Sunday and said he did not realize the Palm Sunday date.

Conneaut Lake borough council questioned on CLCDC membership
Written by Roseanne Staab

Conneaut Lake Borough Council held their March public meeting, with members Mike Krepps, Bill Eldridge, Billy Paris, Dick Holabaugh, Penny Monahan, and Dwight Stallard in attendance. Mayor Timothy Kaider and John Chuey were absent. Secretary Kathryn Spencer took the minutes and there were 12 citizens present. Chairman Holabaugh led the salute to the American Flag.

Acoustics continue to be a problem at the meeting making it difficult to hear what people are saying. Council is meeting in the new town hall.

For Public Comment, a man asked Council for a list of names comprising the Conneaut Lake Community Development Committee (CLCDC). He stated he didn’t want citizens who reside outside of the Borough limits to be members of this committee and that they should not be touting ideas for the Borough beautification plan when they don’t live here.

He also stated that he doesn’t want Council to raise taxes within the Borough, either, and that he doesn’t want Council telling the citizens what to do. He said that the ditch on Line Street needs cleaned out as does the recycle bin area on that same street.
