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.

Written by David Schaef

The Meadville Family YMCA is seeking an okay from the Conneaut School District to hold an after school program at Conneaut Lake and Conneaut Valley Elementary Schools to begin this fall .

Representatives of the YMCA addressed school directors when they met in work session Wednesday evening with all 9 board members present.

The Conneaut community is a part of the service area for the Meadville YMCA, it was explained with the YMCA impacting more than 1,550 families in the Conneaut Lake, Conneautville, Linesville, Hartstown and Atlantic areas through programs and memberships, they reported.

Parent requests for a before and after school program in the Conneaut School District have spurred the YMCA to reach out to the school district to meet those needs.

Gym and cafeteria areas would be ideal places to host the after school programs while classrooms could be used should the gym be used for other school activities like a school intramural program.

The Road Crew would like a “shovel shelf” to be installed on the back of the new truck to make dispersal of stone onto the roadway easier.
