Cudahy Chatter - April

By Randy Hollenbeck
Saturday, Apr 25 2009, 07:00 AM

These items can be considered rumors, gossip, street talk, the word or they could be true.  Only time will tell!

 

It was brought to my attention that the Boys and Girls locker room signs are not ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act of 1988, 1990) compliant in height and it doesn’t have Braille at Cudahy Middle School.  How could that have been missed?  I will have to check in with Superintendent Jim Heiden on the progress of the issues in the blog post Cudahy Middle School.  I do know the pool water is now warmer, but I was told the showers are still cold.

 

There is talk, a hiss if you might, of moving the six graders from the elementary schools to the middle school.

 

Joe Henkia’s name keeps popping up as well.  I am hearing he will run on a campaign platform that since Mayor McCue works part time, so shall he, but he will donate half his pay back to the city!

 

There is even some chatter that Lara L. Fritts the Director of Economic Development might move to Cudahy and run for Mayor.  It was said that she is doing a vast portion of what the Mayor’s job entails now as the Director of Economic Development and other parts of a Mayor’s job are mainly formalities.  Did Mayor McCue accidentally hire his replacement?

 

All of those thinking of running for Mayor in June or July, people will start coming out of McCue’s pocket and start moving away from him.  With August or September as the time when they truly will decide until if, they are going to make a run. 

 

Whose names are people talking about for a run at Mayor in 2010? 

- Jack Vaccaro, Robert Goss, Sara Eberhardy, Lee Barczak (now that he lives in Cudahy), I already mentioned Joe Henika, Alderman Joe Mikolajczak from district one, maybe ex-

Mayor John Hohenfeldt and, as I said last month, Tina Dondajeski.

 

Four homes in the 3800 block of  Martin Ave are about to be declared a nuisance and torn down, these places are vacant and up for sale.

 

There is talk of the city using “Eminent Domain” to takeover the rest of the buildings on Pennsylvania Avenue just South of Layton to accommodate building a complex on that area along with the open land on the corner of Pennsylvania and Layton.

 

This one is more or less a suggestion to Mayor McCue from a neighbor of mine – We can replace the bus stop benches with recycled beanbags material and add potpourri to the bus signs.  Maybe supply scented candles for the buses and play new age music on board.  Look at painting the sidewalks with pinks, blues and yellows.

Just a point of information, I believe the bus benches were donated.

I hope the Cudahynow reporters are ready to get us the information we need to make informed voting choices.
