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.

Linesville borough council pushes for tear down of Pachuk Building
Written by David Schaef

Linesville Borough Council spent the first hour of its November meeting last week in discussion on the tearing down of the Pachuk Building located in downtown Linesville and on the condition of a home on East Erie Street.

Two residents near the East Erie Street Lasko home complained of lack of lawn mowing and garbage being around. Another complaint was shingles coming off the house roof and going into the neighbor’s yard.

It was said the water has been turned off in the house with questions raised as to whether anyone was living there.

Visits to the house by the property maintenance official found no one answering the door.

Another complaint listed by the one East Erie Street resident was burning on Sundays. The resident asked what she was to do when the police were not on duty.

Conneaut Township supervisors deal with sewage issues
Written by Roseanne Staab

Conneaut Township Supervisor George Greig called the November Conneaut Township public meeting to order and led the Pledge of Allegiance to the American Flag. He then asked for a moment of silence on behalf of all US Veterans, since this was Veteran’s Day. Supervisors Timothy Greig and Josh Fusco were also in attendance and Secretary Telce Varee took the minutes. There were 11 citizens present.

George Greig moved to accept the October meeting minutes, the budget meeting for the 2015 Conneaut Budget, to pay all the bills, and to transfer funding from one account to another.

All motions carried unanimously.

George Greig then opened a discussion on a recent public hearing, regarding a sewage appeal filed by the Headley Family. Two other issues were also heard - one from the Korey Family and the Morrison Family.
