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.

North Shenango Township held the February public meeting with Supervisor Dan Dickey leading the salute to the American flag. Supervisor Eloise Settlemyre was present. Supervisor Bill Emerick was present via telephone. Secretary Donna Kean took the minutes and there were 4 citizens present.

For the Code Enforcement Report, CO Don Ott reminded the Board of several blight cases pending before DJ Rita Marwood, but these have been continued until April, due to the weather.

Some blighted properties have been cleaned up slightly, but others are still in a state of junk and non-maintenance. These property owners have been put on notice.

CO OTT announced that he is in possession of a flying drone, and that he will begin using it - once the weather breaks to view properties for blight.

Resignation noted
