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.

Lake Indian being donated to CL Historical Society
Written by David Schaef

A request to lend the Indian statue that sits just inside the doorway as one enters the office at Conneaut Lake Middle School, once Conneaut Lake High School, led the Conneaut School Board of Directors to donate the Indian permanently to the Society.

A motion to do so passed 8-0 when the school directors met in regular monthly session Wednesday evening at Linesville’s Alice Schafer Annex. Present and voting were Don Ellis, Jr., Don Hornstein, Kathy Klink, Cheryl Krachkowski, Dot Luckock, Tim McQuiston, Jody Sperry and David Schaef. John Burnham was absent.

The donation coincides with an effort to make all things Eagle in the district’s school buildings following the district’s mergers of schools from three elementary and three high schools into two K- 4 schools, two 5 - 8 middle schools, and a grade 9 - 12 high school prior to the start of the 2012-13 school year.
