By Timothy VernonSpecial to The ReviewAli Mohammed wants

to work. The Yemeni barber sits

in his shop on JosephCampau and CouncilStreet for hours, waitingfor customers. He cleansobsessively -- the mir-rors, the floor, the chairs— then sits back downto stare out the window. Sometimes he falls

asleep, wakes up, real-izes it doesn’t matterone way or the otherwhether he’s awake: noone comes in anymore.It’s the construction,

Mohammed says, thatkeeps clients away. SinceApril 18, Hennessey Engi-neers has overseen ajoint project by Dan’s Ex-

cavating Inc. andLiquiforce to upgrade thesewer line along JosephCampau, from Goodsonto the north and Dentonto the south. The cost of this project

is $3.5 million, whichcame from a state loan. That section of road

was completely inacces-sible to cars until lastweek, a half mile ofcracked cement and or-ange traffic drums send-ing customerselsewhere. One lane is fi-nally open, but the ef-fects of the projectpersist.The new line is a larger

bers’ hopes to climb thepolitical ladder weredashed on Tuesday’s Pri-mary Election.Both Councilmember

Anam Miah and Mo-hammed Hassan didpoorly in their attempts toknock out their incumbentoffice holders.They didn’t even do well

among Hamtramck voters.Like many other commu-

nities, Tuesday was not agood day to count on vot-ers to participate in voting.Hamtramck’s turnout wasa little less than 1,000 –which is not even 10 per-cent of the total number ofregistered voters here.Miah had the hardest

challenge in trying to un-seat Wayne County Com-missioner Martha Scott.Scott has been in oneelected office or anothersince the 1980s, makingher one of the most en-trenched politicians inWayne County.Miah garnered a total of

460 votes throughout thedistrict, of which a littleover 200 came from Ham-tramck voters. He finishedlast in third place.Scott even beat out Miah

here in Hamtramck with527 votes.Miah blamed the lack of

a local election issue onthe ballot for the lowturnout.

Campau began last April.(Photo by Timothy Vernon) Below: Many businesses on thesouthend of Jos. Campau have suffered from a loss in busi-ness because of the construction.

Hamtramck Public Schools Superintendent TomNiczay addresses a gathering last Sunday for a dedi-cation ceremony at Pulaski Park in honor of formerSchool Board President Titus Walters.

tramck residents havebeen subject to duringheavy rainstorms.Mark Ragsdale, the Di-

rector of Public Servicesfor Hamtramck, pointsout the need for an up-grade. The city’s com-bined sewer system isprimarily designed tohandle sewage, not rain-water, and the discussionof whether or not to im-prove the lines wasbrought up as early asthe 1950s. Now, he says, it’s not a

question of whether ornot it would be nice to im-prove the lines -- it’s a ne-cessity.For many local stores,

however, the project hasbeen an economic catas-trophe. When askedabout the effects of con-struction on their busi-nesses, owners likeMohammed give hardnumbers. Where the Yemen Bar-

ber Shop used to make$900 - $1,000 per week,he says it now barelybreaks $250. Mohamed Isaa of Zaid

Travel Inc. says thatwhere the business oncetook in $1,000 a week, itnow collects closer to$100. Thabit Al-Murisa, owner

of Al Amal Supermarket,speaks of the hours lostin picking up products, ofhaving to make four orfive-hour trips to buymilk, bread, and chips in-

stead of having them de-livered straight to hisdoor.Mutea Mozeb, a

butcher at HamtramckCity Market, talks of halfthe shop’s orders not ar-riving at all.Not every business

owner has been affectedto the same degree.Businesses on the edgeof the construction, likeSheeba Restaurant,seem to have hardlybeen touched, and shopsthat have had years tobuild a customer basehave plodded on.Nomran Alhaleni of

Habbibi Services sayshis store is one such suc-cess story, and althoughhe admitted he has lostsome money, he believesthe project is in the gen-eral interest of the city.But his positive outlookis rare.For Mohammed, the

project may spell the endof his practice. The 13-year resident of Ham-tramck shakes his head,uncertain, when askedwhether the Yeman Bar-ber Shop will survive. “We had just two cus-

tomers today,” he sighs.“I can’t even make therent. I have a family.” Mohammed gestures

to a fellow barber, “He

has a family. I have re-sponsibilities.” He points to a license

on the far wall. “I can’teven renew my license,my taxes -- I can’t evendo that,” Mohammedsaid.Meanwhile, the con-

struction lingers. The lastfew weeks have seen thework come to a halt asconstruction workerswait for the concrete on anew underground storagetank to cure.

“Both lanes are ontrack to open by the timeschool starts,” saysRagsdale, “even if it’sjust temporary pavementat first.” The project should be

entirely completed, hesaid, by early September.For now, however, Mo-hammed and others likehim are forced to keepwaiting.Waiting for work.

“It had nothing to do withthe city at all,” he said. “Ifwe had a millage or some-thing it would have helped.”Scott left all of her chal-

lengers in the dust, finish-ing with over 4,000 votes.The second-place finisherwas R.L. Lemmons who re-

ceived 705 votes.Hassan finished fourth

out of seventh place in hisbid to unseat State Rep.Rose Mary Robinson, whoalso easily beat her chal-lengers with 3,249 votes.Hassan received 319votes.

Hassan said he wasn’tsurprised by the result be-cause he did not cam-paign.“But people still voted for

me,” he said.As for his future plans,

he said he is staying local.“My focus is on the Ham-

tramck city mayor,” he said.“The people told me to doit, to focus on Hamtramck.”Next year’s city election

will feature the mayor’srace and the city councilseats for Hassan, AndreaKarpinski and Ian Perrotta. Hamtramck voters also

agreed with county votersin passing two millages ex-tensions, one for the De-troit Zoo and another forcounty parks.In the school board elec-

tion taking place in the No-vember General Election,Boardmember Salah Had-wan won’t have any compe-tition.That’s because Joseph

Wylie, the only other candi-date to seek the seat withfour years remaining in itsterm, dropped out of therace last Friday.Hadwan was appointed

to fill the seat of formerBoardmember MohammadHuda who was kicked offthe board after it was de-termined he was not a res-ident.Boardmembers Hedy

Shulgon and Jackie Starrwill be facing challengersJeff Salazar, MoortadhaObaid, Renee Savage, Lam-ont Stinson and ShowkatChowdhury.

In Our Opinion

Give the HamtramckPublic School Districtcredit for sticking to itsprinciples (sorry, no punintended).The district stood up

to a legal challengeposed by former SchoolBoardmember Moham-mad Huda. Huda waskicked off the board lastJanuary after a privateinvestigator turned overa mountain of evidenceshowing that Huda wasnot a resident of the city.That revelation fol-

lowed an investigation by

The Review that turnedup similar evidence.But despite this over-

whelming evidence,Huda went to court andsued the district. Thou-sands of dollars later, aWayne County CircuitCourt judge not onlyagreed with the district,but also said Huda per-jured himself when hefiled to become a candi-date and claimed to be aresident.That admonishment

clearly opens the doorfor the district to seek

criminal prosecution,which it should do with-out hesitation.We were already fed

up with certain candi-dates trying to manipu-late our elections inrecent years by illegallyhandling absentee bal-lots.And now there is this

ultimate betrayal of thepublic’s trust.Thankfully, the public

school district decidedto stand up to this as-sault on the integrity ofour elections.

School district showed courage to fight lawsuit
