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.

One of the lots in the Flynn property area at Conneaut Lake Park has been sold and a portion of that money from the sale of Flynn lot #4 is going to the Conneaut School District will be used to pay legal fees.

It has been reported that Attorney Larry Bolla has received the check from the sale - Bolla the attorney representing the government bodies in the case, Conneaut School District, Crawford County and the townships of Summit and Sadsbury - payable to the Crawford County Tax Claim Bureau for $198,486.42.

Bolla is forwarding the check to the CC Tax Claim Bureau and has requested the Bureau issue a check to the school district which will be used to reimburse the attorney’s fees that were advanced and covered by the school district according to the cost-sharing agreement among the four governments.

Conneaut Lake Park, in bankruptcy, owes near $3.5 million to various creditors overall. A hearing on a reorganization plan is scheduled for next week.
