events have proven to beloads of fun and this oneshould not be any differ-ent.“Cheers: The Story of

Hamtramck’s Bars,” willbe held on Thursday, Jan.28, at the HamtramckHistorical Museum,9525 Jos. Campau. It’s reputed that Ham-

tramck once had morebars per capita than anytown in America. Howmany did this town of 2.1square miles host? Noone knows for sure, butthere were at least 200operating at one time.And during Prohibition,when bars were out-lawed, there were manymore.How did this come

about? Find out at the first

2016 Hungry for Historyprogram, “Cheers! TheStory of Hamtramck’sBars,” hosted by theHamtramck HistoricalMuseum, on Thursday,Jan. 28, at the Museum,9525 Jos. Campau. ThisPowerPoint presentationwill feature photos of araft of bars that mightsurprise you and maybestir up some memories.Saloons came in all

shapes, sizes and formsin Hamtramck going backto the days when the“stammgasts” fre-quented such places asBuhr’s and Muchinger’s.They were replaced by amassive amount of shot-and-a-beer Polish bars,which in time morphedinto swinging night spotsand even more upscaleclubs (horrors!) that havebecome favorites of thesuburbanites.The stories associated

with these places are ascolorful as the characterswho frequented them. You may even meet

some of them at thepresentation. Doorsopen at 5:30 p.m. with acatered dinner served at6 p.m. Cost of the dinneris $15. The program ispresented at 7 p.m. andis free. All proceeds ben-

efit the Hamtramck His-torical Museum.To make a reservation

and the city’s diverse eth-nic and religious make-up. It appears the mediafrenzy is over with, but itdoes raise the questionof whether they will returnto report on just whathappens with a Muslimmajority city council.Stay tuned to this one.There were plenty of

other stories worthy ofbeing the most importantof the year, including thecity transitioning out ofthe control of a state-ap-pointed emergency man-ager, and theappointment of the policedepartment’s first-ever fe-male police chief (al-though her swearing-intooffice took place in Janu-ary).But when you sift

through all the majorevents of the year, theissue of pothole repairhung in there the longest,and there was also plentyof media attention thatmade Hamtramck groundzero for the larger issueof road repairs in thestate.Or to be more clear, the

state’s lawmakers andvoters’ inability to comeup with a solution to fundit.What really caught the

eye of the media was howa band of Hamtramck res-

idents got fed up waitingfor repairs and took mat-ters into their own hands.And it is that can-do spiritthat speaks to the core ofwhat it means to be aHamtramckan.Can you imagine resi-

dents in any other city inthe metro area gettingthis involved? That iswhat makes living in Ham-tramck so special, andunderscores why this wasthe most important storyof the year.This past spring we saw

the birth of an outfitcalled HamtramckGuerilla Road Repair.Over a dozen volun-

teers bought their owncold patch and began fill-ing in potholes whereeverit was needed. Initially,city officials weren’t toohappy about residentsworking on city-ownedstreets, but a deal wasworked out and the volun-teers continued on.We talked to one organ-

izer, Jonathan Weier, whosaid the idea to begin thisDIY project came up theusual Hamtramck way: abunch of buddies at a bardrinking beer and conjur-ing up a solution to aproblem.“I guess the tipping

point was when on Face-book I got feedback,”

Weier told us back in July.The feedback that got

things going came fromMayor Karen Majewski,who gave her blessing. “Itwas enough to proceed todo this,” Weier said.Armed with $150,

Weier and crew boughtsome pothole filler andtook care of several pot-holes on Lumpkin.They then set up an on-

line fundraiser, with agoal to raise $5,000.They reached that goaland then some, andchances are this band ofmerry workers will be at itagain this spring.They may not have that

big of a chore ahead ofthem if this winter contin-ues to be gentle. So far,this has been thewarmest winter on record.And that means there hasbeen less wear and tearon our roads from freez-ing temperatures and iceand snow.The city is also in a bet-

ter position this year totackle pothole repairswith the hiring of severalpart-time workers overthe last few months.So, it looks like 2016

won’t be quite the bumpyride we experienced lastyear.But Hamtramck’s DIY

spirit will surely live on.

the Hamtramck force in1999.In her opening re-

marks Mayor Karen Ma-jewski noted thatdespite Hamtramck’soften contentious elec-tions, the communityhas a deep bond.“We are lucky to live in

a place where we knowthat we are part of sucha community, where wecan know our neighbors,our council members,and the person whobakes our bread; wherewe can walk to our fa-vorite spot for coffeeand be sure we'll runinto friends; where weknow we are part ofsomething bigger thanourselves,” Majewski

said.“In Hamtramck we feel

this interconnection, andthat is a source of per-sonal and collective

power. It makes us allvisible agents of ourdestinies, as individualsand as a city. Becausewe live in a place whereour seemingly small, in-dividual actions can

change a life, transforma street, and rebuild acity. And we live in aplace where our votetruly matters.”

After the short cere-mony a number of well-wishers posed with theelected officials andMoise for photographs.

To Councilman Miahand the Citizens of Ham-tramck: While I do not intend to

respond to all of the inac-curacies and misrepre-sentations in the “openletter” circulated by Coun-cilman Miah to the mediaand others, I do intend toclarify a few issues sothat the citizens of Ham-tramck are not misin-formed.Let me start by saying

that it is deeply concern-ing to me that CouncilmanMiah would publicly advo-cate for me to violate thelaw. Whether it is becausehe does not know the lawor does not care aboutthe law, both are equallyunacceptable for anelected public official.In two separate Emer-

gency Manager Orders,that have been distributedto the Council on severaloccasions since my ar-rival, and are accessibleon the front page of theCity's website, formerEmergency ManagerSquare clearly and un-equivocally dictated theprocess that was to befollowed in hiring city em-ployees and appointingdepartment heads. In Order S-017, the

Emergency Manager man-dated that the City Man-ager shall “Hire, suspend,

or terminate any city em-ployee, appointee, or de-partment head, with theapproval of the [TransitionAdvisory] Board.” Like-wise, Order S-020 statesthat the City Manager“shall be responsible forappointments, hiring, andterminations of depart-ment heads and other cityemployees, subject to ap-proval by the [TransitionAdvisory] Board.” UnderState law, these Emer-gency Manager Orders su-persede the City Charterand the City is required tofollow their mandates.I do not know why the

former Emergency Man-ager chose to deliberatelyexclude Council from thedecision making process,and it is not my positionto guess at her motives.My job is to follow the lawand the Emergency Man-

ager’s Orders in an effortto guide the City com-pletely out of receiver-ship. Violating suchOrders, as is being pub-licly advocated by Council-man Miah, would onlyserve as a significant set-back for the City.I would encourage

Councilman Miah, and allcitizens of Hamtramck, toattend the Transition Advi-sory Board Meetings tosee the process that is inplace, and to voice anyconcerns they might have.Like all public meetings,the public is welcome tospeak at Transition Advi-sory Board Meetings andI know that their input iscarefully considered bythe Board.I hope that this open re-

sponse clarifies some ofthe misinformation pro-vided by Councilman

Miah. As always, if thereare any further questions,I would invite any of Ham-tramck’s citizens or visi-tors to take advantage of

my open door policy andset up a time to sit downwith me and talk throughany issues.

Yours in Service,Katrina PowellCity ManagerCity of Hamtramck

Recently City ManagerKatrina Powell announcedthat she had hired ActingPolice Chief Anne Moise asthe new permanent chief.But at least one city

councilmember has anissue with that.Councilmember Anam

Miah, who just won re-election to council, made apublic complaint aboutwhat he calls the“process” of the appoint-ment.He says in an open letter

that Powell should havefirst conferred with thecouncil.Here is his letter in full,

Dear City Manager Pow-ell:

I am writing to protestyour decision to entirelybypass City Council inyour selection of a perma-nent police chief. I wantto state from the outsetthat my objections do notrelate in the least to theinterim chief. My concern involves the

process (or the apparentlack of one) by which youarrived at your decision tomake a permanent hireand your failure to followthe mandate of the Ham-tramck Charter to appointa police chief subject to amajority vote of the mayorand council. Not more than two

weeks ago, the councilmade it quite clear that itwas looking to you to

demonstrate trans-parency in your decisionmaking. Instead, withoutproviding any notice (ex-cept for the program youcreated for the New Year’sDay swearing in of newcity officers), you sched-uled a ceremony to swearin a permanent chief. As a councilmember, I

would have liked to knowwhat other candidatesyou had for the position.In addition to their relativequalifications, I wouldhave liked to know theprocess by which youidentified alternative can-didates. According to the ICMA

website, [http://learning.icma.org/store/semi-nar/seminar.php?semi-nar=25406&pc=calendar], “choosing a fire or policechief is one of the mostimportant decisions alocal government man-ager has to make. Thechief not only has to react

during times of crisis, butmust have the leadershipand vision to shape a de-partment that connectswith the community.” Forthis reason the ICMA andthe International PublicManagement Associationfor Human Resourceshave recently collaboratedto create a data-driven as-sessment tool for the se-lection of police and firechiefs [See http://asr.ipma-hr.org/2012/10/po-lice-and-fire-chief-selec-tion/]. As things stand today, I

have absolutely no ideahow close you have cometo following best practicesfor the selection of per-haps the most importantmember of our executivestaff. I do not know whether

the residents you havesworn to protect want tofind out when a real crisishits whether you have se-lected the right person for

the job. That is why thecharter mandates thatthe public hear about theprocess and the candi-dates. We are elected to help

frame this sort of discus-sion and it is Council’sprerogative, after listeningto your recommendationand the public’s reactionto it, to make the finalcall. This is the best prac-

tice. It is mandated bylaw. It is democracy in ac-tion. You have nothing tofear from a fair and openprocess and we all havemuch to lose from aclosed one. While it may have been

the case in the past thatour union contracts man-date appointment of aninternal candidate, thecity spent years negotiat-ing that provision out ofthe ROA’s last contract. Iwould have thought thatthat hard-fought positionwould have allowed you toat least entertain interestfrom external candidatesthat might have freshideas from outside of ourown department.This sort of decision

making is not what I hadin mind when I said thatyou needed to be moretransparent in the way youmake decisions. I do nottake kindly to the sort ofcontempt that you havefor the Charter-mandatedprocess. I believe thatthere may be room for us

to agree on the ultimateresult here, but theprocess exists for goodreason. We are seeing the re-

sults elsewhere in thisstate of what occurs whenour unelected leaders re-fuse to take the public in-terest into account whenthey make decisions. Iwon’t sit silently and waitto find out when it reallycounts whether you hiredthe right person to leadour police department. At the very least, you

owe council an explana-tion about your searchand, if none was con-ducted, tell us why youmade that decision andaccording to what objec-tive criteria. Know this. If you decide

to continue down thispath, not only will I makenote of it for future deci-sions about your perform-ance, I will make sure thatyou and the people you re-port to own each andevery outcome that re-sults from your bald re-fusal to follow theC h a r t e r - m a n d a t e dprocess. God forbid something

happens to one of our cit-izens as a result of yourfailure to even consider al-ternatives and I will besure to remind anyonewho will listen who au-thored the outcome.Since we all know that theGovernor won’t be held toaccount for what disas-

ters may follow, you canguess who the public andthat same Governor willwant to make responsiblefor your decision to throwcaution to the wind and ig-nore the peoples’ electedrepresentatives.In closing, I want to reit-

erate that I bear ab-solutely no ill will to theinterim chief. I supporther and the other mem-bers of the department inkeeping our streets safe.But she deserves to knowthat she didn’t just getthe job by default. Theonly way that can happenis with a fair and opensearch using objectiveand nationally-recognizedcriteria. I am asking you to delay

your decision until youhave provided us withsome of the specifics Ihave requested above.The interim chief hasserved us in the interimcapacity for some timenow. She is to be cred-ited for that. But there’sno magic in rushing to afinal decision here untilyou have provided theelected governing body ofthis city with the sort ofdetails that will, at a latertime, let them know thatthey have hired the rightperson for this extremelyimportant job.

In Our Opinion

It’s a new year and al-ready we are off to arocky start, politicallyspeaking.City Councilmember

Anam Miah distributedan open letter to thecommunity makingscathing comments onhow City Manager Kat-rina Powell went aboutappointing the city’snew police chief, AnneMoise.You can read his letter

in this issue as well asPowell’s response.In a nutshell, Miah

said Powell disre-spected the city councilby not first discussingthe appointment withthe council before an-nouncing it to the stateTransition AdvisoryBoard, which has finalauthority over contractsand finances.Powell’s counter-argu-

ment is that accordingto the final directivesleft behind by the for-mer emergency man-ager, she is not requiredto seek the council’s OKon the hiring.That is technically

true.But can we suggest

something for the com-ing year?Let’s stop the bicker-

ing in city hall.We are a city that is

still transitioning backto full local control. Itwas a year ago that astate-appointed emer-gency manager left herposition after being onthe job for 18 months.In her place a new city

manager was hired, andthat position was givenspecial authority andseverely limited the roleof the mayor and coun-cil. There are some whosay this arrangement isdeeply anti-democraticand is an insult to thevoters of this commu-nity.We would not entirely

disagree with that.But Hamtramck has

been through the emer-gency manager processtwo times now, andmaybe something se-vere needed to takeplace before local con-trol is fully restored.But that transition

needs to start happen-ing.In hindsight, maybe

the chief’s appointmentcould have taken a dif-ferent path, one that in-cluded discussing itwith the council beforemaking the appoint-ment official.

In fact, one of the finaldirectives seems to saythat it is the duty of themayor and council to beinvolved in this process.Look no further than

this provision where theEM is talking about therole of the mayor andcouncil:“Confer with the city

manager on the citymanager’s selection ofand performance evalu-ation of departmentheads and other posi-tions designated as keypositions of the city bythe board.”I think all will agree

the position of policechief is a “key position.”One could argue that

this final directive is alittle fuzzy on what it ul-timately means. Thereare other directives thatare equally unclear.But the bottom line is

that we need more com-munication and inclu-siveness in city hall.There is certainly no

argument that AnneMoise is a good choicefor the position of policechief.Let’s move on from

here, and let’s startbuilding bridges.

With a new year, it’s time for a new beginning in city hall

Review: Opinion Page

By Charles SercombeThe city council met on

Nov. 24, and all coun-cilmembers were pres-ent.The regularly sched-

uled work session beforethe regular meeting wascanceled. During the reg-ular meeting Coun-cilmember Anam Miahrequested to add a reso-lution to the councilagenda.Mayor Karen Majewski

said that can’t be doneunless the issue is anemergency. Miah responded: “Is

this not a council meet-ing?”He insisted that the

council has previouslymade additions and dele-tions to the agenda.City Attorney Travis Mi-

helick said there are lim-ited reasons for allowingadditions to the agenda,otherwise the councilwould be violating thestate’s Open MeetingsAct.Later in the meeting

Miah said he wanted topropose a resolution tohave a performance re-view of the city manager.He said he wanted to getit done before Coun-cilmember RobertZwolak’s term was overat the end of December.Mayor Majewski said if

the matter was so impor-tant Miah should havecontacted her to get theitem on the agenda intime.During the public com-

ment period, a woman“implored” the council to

bring in another marketto the former Glory Mar-ket space on Jos. Cam-pau.“We really need a

Kroger,” she said.Kathy Angerer, the Di-

rector of Community &Economic Development,said the state of Michi-gan is putting a printshop in that space.But, she said, a market

might move into thebuilding nextdoor to Gloryat the former Value Worldsite.Angerer added that

Glory closed becausethere was not enoughbusiness to support it.She encouraged peo-

ple to shop locally.“That’s the key to at-

tracting business,” An-gerer said.A man complained that

the city wants to chargehim for fixing a sink holein the alley behind hishouse. He said he is 82years old.“I’ve never heard of

this before,” he said.Susan Dunn noted that

she took a photo of a pri-vate van delivering milkto a market on Jos. Cam-pau, which she said vio-lates health safetycodes.In a discussion about

approving a court-orderedtax millage, Councilmem-ber Zwolak said hedoubts this will be thelast payment to settle alongstanding housing dis-crimination lawsuit.Zwolak also criticized

the federal judge han-dling the lawsuit, saying

Judge Damon Keith has“created a whole newclass of victims.” By thathe meant Hamtramckproperty owners.In the vote to approve

the millage, Councilmem-bers Zwolak, MohammedHassan and Abu Musavoted against it whileCouncilmembers Miah,Andrea Karpinski and IanPerrotta voted in favor.The tie vote required

Mayor Majewski to breakit. She voted in favor ofit.To those who voted

against the court-orderedmillage she said: “Youdodged a bullet there.”(Since the tax millage

was court-ordered thecouncil could have beenheld in contempt of courtif it refused to pass it.)The council voted unan-

imously to allow a neigh-borhood market onKlinger to expand itsbusiness hours. The mar-ket had received ticketsfor operating past itsbusiness hours.The council also OK’d a

zoning variance for CaniffElectric, which is expand-ing its warehouse.Mayor Majewski noted

that there are five or sixrefugee Syrian familieswho are living in Ham-tramck.“We welcome them and

wish them success withtheir new lives,” Majew-ski said.Councilmember Has-

san said he is willing toshare his house withrefugees.

City Hall Insider …City Hall Insider …What is our City Council up to these days? We have the highlights of the latest council meeting.

Worthy mention…There were so many im-portant stories in 2015 itwas hard to list them all.But we would be deeply

remiss to not mentionthe fantastic develop-ment at Keyworth Sta-dium.The public school dis-

trict has partnered upwith the Detroit City Foot-ball Club to bring about a

rebirth to the historicalstadium.The stadium will now

be the home of theclub’s professional soc-cer team. That develop-ment, which took someskillful negotiation by thedistrict administrationand Superintendent TomNiczay, will lead to majorimprovements to the sta-dium and the influx of

thousands of fans to thecity.This is a major win-win

for the district and thecity’s businesses.There is an ongoing

fundraising effort to helpwith the renovation whichyou can learn about bygoing to the district’swebsite at: http://www.hamtramck.k12.mi.us/

Dearest Friends, Saving a more lengthy

annual review for anothertime, we wanted to passon one key developmentof late - we got engaged!Woohoo! It was a cozyweekend at the yurt, com-plete with temperateweather, campfires, andunintentional near pro-posal sabotage (more onthis later). Amit took ad-vantage of a moment bythe fire to furnish a home-made (by her!) nearly-fin-ished wooden ring andpop the question. Wecame home to completetwo wooden rings, sawingand sanding in the work-shop together. And herewe are.

We are excited to con-tinue our journey togetherand potluck, camp, laugh,love, work hard and buildwith you all. We aredeeply grateful for all of

the ways that you havesupported us individuallyand supported our part-nership, and can't wait forwhat's next.

Plans of any kind arestill a mystery at thispoint, but it won't be arush job, so relax.

Much love,Amit and Evan

By Greg KowalskiSome pretty strange

ideas have been floated inHamtramck through theyears and a couple of theoddest have to do withmergers.In 1920 the Hamtramck

Republican Club an-nounced plans to put onthe ballot in the Novemberelection a proposal toannex a portion of Detroit.This was described in TheEvening Star newspaper inWashington, D.C., as “aforeign quarter with a pop-ulation of 50,000.” The identity of this “for-

eign quarter” was not ex-plained, although it wassupposedly made up ofPolish immigrants living inHamtramck at the time.It’s unlikely that the

measure ever made it onthe ballot and the annexa-tion certainly didn’t hap-pen.But an even more far-

fetched idea was tossedout at the Hamtramck Ro-tary Club meeting in early

December, 1963. There,former Rotary District Gov-ernor Charles B. Bell sug-gested that Canada mightbecome part of the UnitedStates.Bell, an attorney in Wind-

sor, Ontario, said thatCanadians might favorablyconsider becoming 10 ormore states of the U.S.After all, he said, Canadi-ans are like and do likeAmericans.“If you sustain losses,

we suffer them with you. Ifyou succeed in the world,in any line of endeavor, weare elated too. We like you.We have a strong kinshipwith you,” Bell said.To bolster his argument,

Bell read an editorial thathad appeared in a Windsornewspaper. “Can Canadasurvive as a nation?” itasked. “In 1967 Canadawill mark the 100th year ofconfederation. Will it bearound to mark manymore? Do Canadians reallycare whether it does stayindependent, or have they

already gone too far inmortgaging their birthrightfor a higher standard of liv-ing? Is political union withthe U.S. inevitable? Quitefrankly, why don’t we jointhe U.S. while we are ableto negotiate a squaredeal?”Bell added that the ma-

jority of Canada’s popula-tion lives close to itsborder with the U.S. “Most of our people live

within a short distancefrom the border. Canada isa narrow strip of landstretching from the Atlanticto the Pacific and closelyrelated to the state orstates adjoining to thesouth,” he said.Bell said he had heard

no opposition to such aunion.Maybe he wasn’t listen-

ing closely enough. It’shard to imagine today thatanyone in Canada wouldtake such a merger solightly. Canadians are notknown for collective emo-tional outbursts, but it’s agood bet that if someonemade that proposal today

the Canadians might havesomething to say about it.And it’s not likely our bor-ders would change.And like the earlier plan

to annex a part of Detroit,this proposal seemed todie a swift death, althoughthere was one last hint ofa merger back in 1980when the Dodge Main fac-tory closed and Ham-tramck stood on the brinkof financial collapse.At the time, a reporter

asked then-HamtramckMayor Robert Kozaren ifHamtramck should con-sider dissolving its borderswith Detroit.Kozaren humorously re-

sponded, “No. I don’t thinkwe’re ready to have Detroitbecome a part of Ham-tramck.”You can learn more
