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 will be held at the Conneaut Lake Borough Town Hall, 395 High Street, Conneaut Lake, at 10 a.m. Saturday, July 15.

Dr. Fred Lubnow, a lake scientist and engineer with Princeton Hydro will give an update on development of a Watershed Implementation Plan (WIP) and why it is important for retaining or improving property values, retaining and increasing tourism, as well as improving the overall condition of the lake.

In 2014, the Crawford County Conservation District was awarded a PA Department of Environmental Protection Growing Greener grant to develop the WIP for the Conneaut Lake watershed.

Once completed, reviewed and subsequently approved by PA DEP, this plan will increase the opportunity that the municipalities within the Conneaut Lake watershed, CLAMA, as well as other agencies, may - See Lake page 11
