Educating the Politians
Our elected officials will see all citizens as valued individuals. Policy-makers need to understand the issues facing their constituents.
We need our elected officials to regain the trust of the people. For too long now, many politicians have put their own best interests before the best interest of the people they were elected to represent. These elected officials must remember that it is the citizens who pay taxes which in turn are used to pay their salaries.

I hope that everyone has a Blessed and Happy Easter
Kohl's Site
Over the weekend, I heard a rumor from a couple of different people that there is interest in the old Kohl's site again. The consensus was that the City was interested in purchasing the land at the discounted rate. My question is, if the City is interested in purchasing the land, who is going to be responsible for the clean up? There is a strong thought that the land that once was home to a gas station still has a tank underground. If in fact that there is a gas tank underground and the City is in fact going to do the clean up of the land, are they going to do a complete job and remove the gas tank?
If the City does buy the land and does a proper clean up, what is the cost? Numbers mentioned were between $3.5 to $4 million dollars. If the City does cover all of these costs, what is the City going to sell the property for? As was pointed out at the Neighborhood Watch meeting last week with most of the candidates present, we can not sell property for $1, like the IcePort property. Anybody interested in the property must show that they are commited to the project by investing a significant amount of money. I am all for helping somebody committed to a project, but without a strong commitment from the purchaser, I would have a difficult time time just giving away any property.
Election Day
Tuesday is Election Day. All of the candidates have made all of their pitches as to why they are the best candidate for the job. By now, most people would have made up their mind as to who to vote for.
While I did not advance from the primary, which was my own fault for not dedicating myself more to the campaign.by going door to door, I still worked 45-50 hours per week at my regular job to ensure that my family was taken care of. In talking to many of the residents of Cudahy, they believed in my message, but I did not do enough to get my message out earlier. If there is a next time, I will have learned from this experience.
Transition
Back to some of the responsablities of the Wisconsin Board for People with Developmental Disabilities
Youth with disabilities will go from high school to fulfilling, adult lives in the community. They will live and work where they choose and participate in activities of their choice. Youth with disabilities will make and express informed choices about their futures and they will develop the skills they need to meet their goals.
Kosciuszko Students Compete in Multiplication Tournament
On March 24, Kosciuszko school's third grade students competed in their yearly multiplication tournament. After practicing their multiplication facts for months, the students competed against each other to determine the fastest multiplier.
During the day, 45 students were narrowed down to the Sweet Sixteen, the Elite Eight, and finally down to the last two students. In the end, Camryn Kratt defeated Javier Zamarron to become the first place winner in the annual tournament. After the event, all of the students were treated to an ice cream buffet.
Transition 2
I can only speak for our experiences of transition. As I have thought back, they have been, for the most part, positive experiences. Our transition was from the Birth to 3 Program at Curative and into the Cudahy School System. I feel that we have been able to work well with the school district in obtaining what is best for my son Tyler. Both Jim Heiden and Dennis Banach, as well as the rest of the IEP team, have always seemed to have Tyler’s best interest in mind. The transition is an ongoing process
While we ask for much more then we expect to get, there are open minds when it comes to Tyler’s education. There have been years when it looked like we really did not get anything; I think that we begin to build for the future in those years. It took a couple of years to get Music Therapy, but then the district hired a certified music therapist. We have asked for adaptive art, it took a year or so to get that implemented, but we now have it and it seems to be working well.

Language
This past weekend was met with the same issue at 2 different venues.
We attended our first Brewer game of the season on Friday night. We had an enjoyable experience until we decided that it was time to go. I took one of my sons to the rest room, my wife an 2 other kids waitied outside. My wife noticed a young man who appeared to have had a few too many, he was talking with a couple of girls and he was dropping F bombs left and right. An Event Services gentleman asked the young man to watch his language. The young did stop for a minute or so, but as soon as the Event Services turned around , the young man went back to dropping F bombs. The Event Services turned around again to talk to the young man, this time with a Miller Park employee. I came out of the rest room and we left before seeing the outcome.

Cudahy High School Forensics Team Qualifies for State CompetitionAfter a very successful competition at district level, the Cudahy High School Forensics team is moving on to the state level competition. On Saturday, April 17, nine of the twelve Forensics students will be representing Cudahy High School at the state tournament in Madison. The 2010 Cudahy High School Forensics Team are: Cudahy ParksAs the weather begins to get warmer I have begun to think about all of the parks in the City of Cudahy. During the last election, a lot of people mentioned that the parks are one of the great assets for the City. I could not agree more. I have spent a lot of time the last 3 or 4 years in the parks with my family, through baseball, softball and general recreation. My thoughts on the parks are probably not the direction most people would take. I am concerned as to who will be responsible for the general upkeep of the parks. It wasn't until the last 5 or 6 years did I realize that each of the parks in Cudahy are Milwaukee County parks, not City parks. With the continued cutbacks on the park system, how are we going to maintain the park system? March Renaissance Students of the Month WinnersEvery month, the Renaissance Program at the Cudahy High School recognizes one student from each grade as the student of the month. The March Renaissance Students of the Month winners are: Senior: Joseph Jagler Wine Tasting FundraiserPlease plan on attending the First Annual Lincoln PTA Wine Tasting event this Friday, April 16 at City Lounge.

Lincoln PTA's Wine Tasting Event at City LoungeCome to the Lincoln PTA's adult-only wine tasting event at City Lounge on April 16. Sample various red and white wines (along with appetizers). Have a fun night out and support Lincoln School at the same time! This event is a school fundraiser sponsored by the Lincoln PTA. Beauty and the Beast Cast List
$6.00 general admission, $1.00 for senior citizens Beauty and the Beast Cast ListCommunityThe last 24 hours has brought out some of the best in people and why I believe that Cudahy is very close to turning things around and becoming that community where everybody takes pride in telling people where they are from. We do not need a tragic event to bring the citizens together. We just need people to believe that all things together make this a community. All things added together make the whole. No effort is too small. It probably takes more small efforts to make something successful then a larger one. Friday night, the Lincoln PTA hosted their first Wine Tasting event at City Lounge. A thank you needs to go out to Joe and all of his employees for making this run smoothly. Anybody that has ever worked on putting together an event like this knows that something always comes up. No matter what we needed, City Lounge was there to help us out. This is a Cudahy business, giving back to the community. |
