Cannon at football game... School district awaits lot sale money

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 Conneaut School District continues to wait for its money from the sale of a lot at Conneaut Lake Park, one of the lots the Bankruptcy Court has allowed to be sold.

Park managers have said the lots are not needed in running the park now or in the future.

The closing on the sale took place back on June 17 and nearly 3 months later the money remains at the Crawford County Treasurer’s office despite a number of inquiries by the school district as to when payment to the district might be anticipated.

Latest information is that the money should be received in early-mid October, and that it would probably be November or December by the time the other taxing bodies [Crawford County, and townships of Sadsbury and Summit] get their payments paid to them and then processed and approved to pay back the school district that fronted much of the money for attorney fees.
