South Bend Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting - October 1, 1993 <br />6. NEW BUSINESS (Cont.) <br />a. continued... <br />KAREN HIGH: I'm here on behalf of Ethel <br />Nyikos, 308 E. Wenger. I want you to <br />know, she's lived there for over sixty years. <br />The city's going to come and take this house <br />away. I mean, she's lived there all her life. <br />She's 82 years old and has to relocate and <br />start all over again. How can they help her? <br />MS. KOLATA: The same way we will help <br />everyone else. That's on an individual <br />basis. Working with her, determining what <br />her housing needs are, what her desires are. <br />Ms. HIGH: She's got sixty years worth of <br />things in this house. It's a big house that's <br />condensed into a little house. She's a <br />nervous wreck about this. <br />Ms. KoLATA: I understand that. And she's <br />not alone. There are other people who are <br />in that same position and have been in that <br />position before. We try to understand the <br />feelings. We will try to combine as many <br />services as possible. This is not the first <br />time we've encountered something like this. <br />Part of the relocation payments can be things <br />like counselling services to help deal with <br />things like stress. That's an eligible <br />relocation cost. There are a whole bunch of <br />eligible relocation costs. If that becomes <br />necessary, Hedy will be talking about that <br />with individuals. It's sad to say, it won't be <br />the first time. <br />JACINTA POLACK WIELGOS: I'm one of the <br />many daughters of Frank and Tina Polack at <br />-27- <br />
