Manor Rd. man living outside as winter nears

A Manor Rd. man, Dennis Cibulka, has been evicted from his home at No. 313 after years of concern by health and fire officials about crowding and the accumulation of rubbish. Mr. Cibulka apparently lives alone and has few relatives. As recently as the beginning of the month he was living on a front porch glutted with junk at his semi-detached home between Thurston Rd. and Forman Ave. Earlier this year, he was effectively thrown out of the home he inherited from his mother in 2004 on the orders of the public health department. He spends his time, even now as winter approaches, caring for an unnumbered collection of cats. He does so with the considerable monies left to him by his mother. A local animal hospital, a service seldom affordable to those living outside, says the bills are paid promptly and in full. Mr. Cibulka’s only other occupation seems to be sparring with the fire department and public health officials as to how and when he might ever get back inside his home. He is required to clear the property to certain standards before that will happen. For the time being, 313 Manor Rd is boarded up and reasonable people must feel concern for Mr. Cibulka’s welfare as the weather worsens. He has shown no known sign of using his affluence to care for himself or arrange for accommodation.
