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.

Conneaut School District real estate taxpayers will see a small .50 mill increase in their real estate taxes come the 2014 - 15 school year that begins July 1.

Faced with an increase in retirement costs of over $546,980 and a projection of fund balance decreasing by over $7-million in three years, a majority of the board opted to begin facing the issues and approved that .50 mill tax increase - the first in three years - when the school directors met in monthly voting session last week.

The increase to the average property owner will be less than $15.00 as figures for a property assessed at $30,000 would see a $15.00 increase. The average property assessment in the district is just over $23,000. Property owners with a $100,000 assessment will see their taxes increase $50.00

The last time real estate taxes were raised in the school district was the 2010 - 11 school year.
