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.

The talk at the Springboro Council meeting Monday, July 13, turned to concerns over two area fire departments that could close.

Those two are the Fellows Club in Conneautville and the Albion VFD.

Albion was recently in the news as that department appealed for more public support, expressed concern over finances, and held a public meeting. Projections were they could close in 12 to 18 months.

The Fellows Club [see letter in I Say! page 22], according to comment by Jim Glaspy, Springboro Council president, was that the Fellows Club may have just 8 active members. The letter just referred to notes no ambulance service taking place.

Springboro councilman Matt Rowland suggested that Springboro may be able to pull others in as Springboro VFD is viable, currently financially good and seems to be growing [social club].
