By Charles SercombeIt started with the

streets, and next year itwill be the alleys’ turn.At least some of them.City Manager Katrina

Powell recently an-nounced that the city’sengineering firm, Hen-nessey Inc., completedits survey of the city’s al-leys.To no one’s surprise,

they are in terribleshape, or as she put it:“Below grade.”“But at least we have a

plan to move forward,”she said.Moving forward,

though, comes with astiff price tag. Powellsaid it will cost a total of$12 million to fix all ofthe alleys. Just takingcare of the “major” al-leys – such as the onesthat run parallel with Jos.Campau and Conant --will cost $3 million.Unlike road repairs, the

source of funding for theproject cannot be tappedfrom a state grant thecity receives each yearfor just road repairs.Instead, the city will

have to dip into itsbudget surplus, now atabout $3 million. How-ever, Powell said she hasapplied for a grant tailor-made for “distressed”cities.

tuary city”?That’s been a question

Donald Trump protestors took to the streets on Monday evening to demonstrate against thepresident-elect’s immigration statements. About 50 folks showed up and walked from Trow-bridge and Jos. Campau to the public library where a town hall meeting was taking place.

Hamtramck is not an official “sanctuary city” butthere is a city ordinance prohibiting police from pro-filing and inquiring about immigration status.

shielding illegal immi-grants.The ordinance forbids

police officers from pro-filing and does not allowofficers and city employ-

ees to inquire about aperson’s immigration sta-tus. It also allows undoc-umented immigrants toreceive city services.“I don’t think people

were using the termsanctuary city at thetime,” said Mayor KarenMajewski when asked re-cently to clarify if Ham-tramck is a sanctuarycity.At Tuesday’s city coun-

cil work session, coun-cilmembers talked aboutspreading the word thatHamtramck is a safehaven for immigrants.Hamtramck has long

been home to newly-ar-rived immigrants. For thepast 80 years Ham-tramck has been knownas a Polish enclave. Butin recent years the ma-jority of residents are

from Bangladesh, Yemenand Bosnia.These new immigrants

are mostly of the Muslimfaith.Councilmember Anam

Miah suggested sendingout a press release pro-moting Hamtramck as asanctuary city. Hestressed that this mes-sage is needed now be-cause of “the tension inthe air.”Councilmember Ian

Perrotta also noted thatHamtramck has anotherdesignation as being a“Welcoming City.” This ispart of a nationwidemovement to make citiesmore aware of their immi-grant residents and in-clude their needs anddesires in city plans.As for Trump’s threat to

deport illegal immi-grants, CouncilmemberMohammed Hassan dis-missed that notion.“Nobody can send any-

body anywhere – noteven the president,”Hassan said.And on that note,

Councilmember Miahadded: “This is a city ofbrotherly love.”

By Mike MurphyThere’s nothing wrong

with a little recognition,especially for “awesome”teachers who tend to tryand avoid the spotlight. Cathy DeVuyst, literacy

and math coach at Hol-brook Elementary School,is the first teacher to winBetter Made SnackFoods’ “Teacher of theMonth” contest for Octo-ber 2016, and it’s a goodthing she likes potatochips.“We are crazy about

Better Made, and mymom still goes to thecompany to pick up my fa-vorites, which are SourCream and Onion andBBQ,” says DeVuyst. “Iheard about the contestfrom a co-worker and she

nominated me. I love mystudents and BetterMade.”Third-grade teacher Lau-

rie O’Dell was the onewho wrote up the contestentry on behalf of one ofher students. For winning,DeVuyst will receive asampler box containing

15 bags of different Bet-ter Made products.DeVuyst said it felt

great to be the inauguralwinner in the contest.“I don’t do stuff to get

recognized,” she said.“But every time you doget recognized for some-thing it helps give you alittle extra energy.” The student behind the

nomination lauded De-Vuyst for her ability tosearch out free materialslike books, worksheets,pencils, and stickers forher students.“When she cannot find

it free she uses her ownmoney to purchasesthem,” the nominationreads.The nomination, which

had to be kept to 100 to

150 words, goes on tostate that DeVuyst alsohelps teachers find betterways to teach reading,writing and math.Better Made, founded in

1930 in Detroit, will begranting the award to De-troit-area teachers on amonthly basis. Contestentries of 100 to 150words must be submittedby a student (parents canhelp if needed) onlinethrough the contest pageon the Better Made web-site: www.better-madesnackfoods.com oremailed to info@better-madsnackfoods.com.They can also be mailed

By Charles SercombePerhaps lost in all of the

election news last weekwas Friday’s Veterans Daycelebration.The national holiday

seemed to pale in com-parison to the result ofTuesday’s historic presi-dential election.But not diminished was

Hamtramck’s steadfastobservation of the manysacrifices veterans havemade for our country.PLAV Post 10 held its

annual ceremony for theday, attracting dozens ofveterans and residents.The highlight of the

event was a champagnetoast and sing-along.This year’s Veteran of

the Year is Bill Swift, whowas a paratrooper in Viet-nam in 1966-67.

By Charles SercombeDespite an outpouring of

state Democratic heavy-weights and a couple hun-dred community membersbefore last Tuesday’s Pres-idential election, their can-didate lost.In what many media out-

lets labeled a major upset,Democratic candidateHillary Clinton lost to herrival, Republican DonaldTrump.It was an outcome few

would have projected atthe Bengali AmericanDemocratic Caucus-USArally held on the Saturdaybefore the election.Democratic bigwigs like

Senators DebbieStabenow and Gary Peterswere the highlight of theevening, which also in-cluded legendary Con-gressmen John Conyersand Sander Levin and

Congresswomen DebbieDingell and BrendaLawrence.Just like four years ago

when President BarackObama was seeking re-election, there was plentyof enthusiasm in the hall.Organizer Nazmul Has-

san Shahin frequentlytook to the stage at theGates of Columbus Hall towhip up those in atten-dance. He made up a vari-ation of Michelle Obama’ssaying that when the pres-ident’s critics “go low, wego high.”Shahin urged those in

the hall to repeat afterhim: “When they go low,we go up.”Although Clinton won

the popular vote by a mar-gin of one million votes,she lost the race to firstreach 270 Electoral Col-lege votes.

In Hamtramck, VeteransDay is never forgotten

Bengali political committee hosts who’s whoof Democratic Party

hate,” she said. “When hedid win I was horrified.”Co-organizer Joe

Fournier said he was alsoworried about how youngpeople will interpretTrump’s win.“I’m concerned about

an entire generation offear kids,” he said. “Weneed to build a sense of

solidarity.”At the library, the Ham-

tramck Community Initia-tive held a town hallmeeting. There, HCI mem-ber Sharon Buttry alsoechoed the sentiments ofthe protestors outside.“We want to make sure

our neighbors feel wel-comed,” Buttry said.

In Our Opinion

Last week voters de-cided to kick out two in-cumbent schoolboardmembers and re-place them with twonewcomers.Between the two de-

feated Boardmembers,Hedy Shulgon andJackie Starr, there wasa combined 60-years-worth of experiencewith the public schooldistrict.It’s a shame that they

were dumped by voters,but this is a democracy,and the voters spoke.We wish new Board-members ShowkatChowdhury and Moor-

tadha Obaid the best ofluck.The two new candi-

dates also usher in anew era for the schooldistrict, an era whereBangladeshi- andYemeni-Americans likelymake up a majority ofthe city’s population.The school board now

has a Muslim majority,which follows the pat-tern that has occurredalready in the city coun-cil.Our new population

majority certainly de-serves a seat at thetable of government.But winning an elec-

tion isn’t everything. Ittakes dedication and ahuge investment in timeto govern a city andschool district. Shulgon and Starr

spent countless hoursbehind the scenes insupporting the district.We hope to see thatsame dedication by ourtwo new Boardmem-bers.It seems heartless for

Shulgon and Starr to betossed aside, but that’show elections go. Theydeserve a huge thanksfor the time and effortthey devoted to the dis-trict.

School Board now ushersin a new era of leadership

Why hasn’t the citytalked with the AmericanAxle owner about land?They demolished most

of their manufacturingplants and have a largeportion of vacant land. We need housing and

it could be fundedthrough the federal gov-ernment. Also, why has-n't the city initiated avocational program intothe high school options?This type of programwould be eligible for fed-

eral grants. Children de-serve every opportunityto have a fair chancewith a quality life.

By Mike MurphyIf everything works out,

Hamtramck will be gettinga new bike shop by nextweek.Wheelhouse Detroit/

Hamtramck is planning onrelocating from its spot at1340 E. Atwater in Detroitto a new location at thecorner of Florian and Jos.Campau on Nov. 25.“We just wanted to ex-

pand into a neighborhoodthat needed a bike shop,”Wheelhouse employee Ta-tiana Pastor said. “We’reproud to be in Ham-tramck. We love Ham-tramck and we’re justreally excited to be there.” Wheelhouse will spe-

cialize in American-maderetail, urban biking andbike equipment that can’tbe easily found, Pastorsaid.“Mostly North American

products that you can’tbuy anywhere else,” Pas-tor said.

Wheelhouse featuresKona Bikes, Brooklyn Bicy-cle Co. and Opus Bike. In terms of American-

made products, shopperscan find bicycles from De-troit Bikes; bags fromGreen Guru, Alchemy,Chrome Industries, Iron-weed and Timbuk2; vehi-cle racks from Saris;locks from Kabletek;lights from Fortified; ParkTools; caps from Walz;and bottle cages fromKing Cage. Initial plans had Wheel-

house opening in Ham-tramck in September, butPastor said the delay wasdue to the fact that build-ing out the store tookmore time than theWheelhouse crew thoughtit would. “It always takes a little

longer than expected,”she said. Like many urban areas

in the U.S., the Detroitarea is witnessing a

tremendous increase inbicycle usage on citystreets. Due to the imple-mentation of designatedbike lanes and bike pathsdesignated for bicyclistslike the Dequindre Cut,more bike wheels arerolling in and around thecity.Detroit is also home to

the Detroit Slow Ride,which is a weekly bicycleouting sponsored by non-profit group Detroit BikeCity, Inc. These bikerides, which now some-times attract thousandsof bicyclists and are heldin cooperation with theCity of Detroit and the De-troit Police Department,have inspired similargroup to ride en masse incities across the country. But according to Pastor,

Hamtramck is not bad atall when it comes to bicy-cle riding. “I ride in Hamtramck,

and I do pretty well,” she

said. “You can always im-prove infrastructure butI’d say it’s a pretty enjoy-able city to ride a bike in.”Wheelhouse, which is

owned by Kelli Ka-vanaugh, currently plansto sell new bikes and pro-vide repair services andlimited rentals. Wheel-house employees willalso provide limited toursof the area, Pastor said. “We’re also looking into

carrying used bikes,” Pas-tor said. Wheelhouse will be host-

ing a Grand Opening cele-bration on Nov. 25,starting at 11 a.m. On Sat-urday (Nov. 26), Wheel-house will celebrate SmallBusiness Day with specialdeals: $50 in free acces-sories and free installationon any bike purchase, afree patch kit with any pur-chase whatsoever and$10 off a tune-up, and$20 off for Hamtramckresidents.
