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.

Student numbers continue to fall in the Conneaut School District as 90 day enrollment figures show 1,992 in the school district.

That is down from 2,023 from third day figures in August at the start of the school year.

A year ago 90 day figures showed 2,048 in the district while 90 day figures from the 2007-2008 year showed a total of 2,687, a drop of 695 students in 9 years.

Smaller families and loss of manufacturing jobs figure into the equation.

Teaching staff numbers, once as high as 216, now number 150.
