Election recountyields fewballot changesBy Charles SercombeHamtramck’s November

election appears to be finallyover and counted.Last week’s recount of the

mayoral and city council elec-tion yielded few changes. Inthe mayoral recount, both can-didates, Mayor Karen Majew-ski and her challenger AbdulAlgazali, each gained a vote.That means Algazali still lost

by 123 votes.Algazali called for the re-

count, claiming there waserror and fraud. He has saidhe will reimburse the city forthe cost of the recount – esti-mated to be about $2,500 for

By Charles SercombeThe good times and good

vibes were definitely in the airduring last Saturday’s annualWinter Glow.This year the Glow had a

new home. The publicschools’ Recreation Depart-ment moved the event fromCity Hall to the High SchoolCommunity Center, which al-

lowed more activities to takeplace inside.Outside, free horse-drawn

carriage rides were a majorattraction. Kids and adultsalso got to pet farm animalsand get an up-close view oftwo reindeer.“Which one’s Prancer?”

said one woman with achuckle.

By Charles SercombeMonday’s announcement

about GM’s production of thehybrid vehicle, the Volt,wasn’t exactly new news.But it was welcomed news

nonetheless.GM had said less than a

year ago that it planned tobuild the car at the PoletownPlant. Monday’s press confer-ence confirmed those plansand then some. GM said it isinvesting over $300 million inthe plant and another $400million in several other plantsin the state to support pro-duction of the car.

That doesn’t mean addi-tional workers will be cominginto Poletown, but it doesmean at least the remainingworkers won’t be losing theirjobs. Several thousand of thecars are expected to roll outof the Poletown plant in2010, and production willramp up the following yearwith as many as 60,000Volts being produced.The car is able to travel 40

miles on an electrical charge.A gasoline powered enginekicks in once 70 percent ofthe battery’s power is de-

‘Winter Glow’ ushers inthe holiday season …

The year 2010 is when thenation participates in theonce-every-10-yer populationcount, known as the Census.In the upcoming months TheReview will publishing newsfrom the Census Bureau.Here’s the latest word. The nation’s minority popu-

lation reached 100.7 million,according to the national andstate estimates by race, His-panic origin, sex and age re-leased today by the U.S.Census Bureau. A year ago,the minority population to-taled 98.3 million.

“About one in three U.S.residents is a minority,” saidCensus Bureau Director LouisKincannon. “To put this intoperspective, there are moreminorities in this countrytoday than there were peoplein the United States in 1910.In fact, the minority popula-tion in the U.S. is larger thanthe total population of all but11 countries.”

The population in 1910was 92.2 million. On Oct. 17,2006, the Census Bureau re-ported that the overall popu-lation had topped 300million.

California had a minoritypopulation of 20.7 million —21 percent of the nation’stotal. Texas had a minoritypopulation of 12.2 million —12 percent of the U.S. total.

There were other mile-stones reached as well duringthe July 1, 2005, to July 1,2006, period: The nation’sblack population surpassed40 million, while the NativeHawaiian and Other Pacific Is-lander group reached the 1million mark.

Hispanic remained thelargest minority group, with44.3 million on July 1, 2006

— 14.8 percentof the totalpopulation.Black wasthe sec-o n d -l a r ges tminorityg r o u p ,to ta l ing40.2 mil-lion in2006. Theywere followed byAsian (14.9 million),American Indian and AlaskaNative (4.5 million), and Na-tive Hawaiian and Other Pa-cific Islander (1 million). Thepopulation of non-Hispanicwhites who indicated no otherrace totaled 198.7 million in2006.With a 3.4 percent increase

No other statehad a minority population ex-ceeding 42 percent of thetotal. (See Table 2 Excel |PDF.)Highlights for the various

the mayor’s re-count – if he stillcomes up theloser.He did not re-

turn calls tocomment on therecount andwhether he stillplans to reim-burse the city.Council candi-

date Anam Miahasked for thecouncil recount.His vote total did not change.A few votes shifted here andthere among other councilcandidates, but the outcomeof the election essentially re-mains the same. Miah fin-ished 127 votes behindthird-place winner Mo-hammed Hassan.During the recount, a repre-

sentative for Algazali madenumerous ballot challengesto the point where countyelection workers threatenedto call the police and havehim removed. Also acting asa challenger was Bill Meyerwho made several ballot chal-

lenges. The challenges were not

pursued.City Clerk Ed Norris said

there were a variety of rea-sons why some ballotschanged. In one case, a votervoted for both Algazali andfilled the circle for a write-incandidate even though therewere no write-in candidates.Norris said the recount at

least “validated” the city’sballot counting machines.Mayor Karen Majewski had

criticized Algazali for demand-ing a recount and called it awaste of time and money.

By Charles SercombeYou could say that eco-

nomic reality is hitting hometo many communities.And you could also say that

Hamtramck is not alone infacing the same toughchoices to balance its budgetas a result of deep cuts instate revenue sharing money.Hamtramck’s City Manager,Bill Cooper, is threatening tolay off 17 police officers and16 firefighters, along with cityhall employees, unless theunions agree to contract con-cessions.Cooper said the unions

have to agree to a three-yearsalary freeze and take a 5percent cut in pay, amongother concessions.News stories are starting to

appear about other cities alsomaking drastic cuts in publicsafety. Now, Gov. JenniferGranholm is on the warpath,pressuring state legislators torestore revenue sharing cutsbecause so many communi-ties are laying off police offi-cers and firefighters.In her recent weekly radio

address, Granholm said ifcommunities can’t afford ad-equate public safety, busi-

nesses won’t move here.“This is an economic issue

as well. For Michigan commu-nities to be attractive to busi-nesses, local governmentsmust be able to provide es-sential services,” she said.Granholm has asked for tax

increases but Republican leg-islators have refused to raisetaxes even in the face ofsteep cuts to cities. Ham-tramck will lose $400,000 instate revenue sharing thisbudget year. On top of that, the city will

lose $1.9 million it had beenreceiving from the GM Pole-town Plant.In the meantime, Cooper in-

formed the City Council onTuesday that there has beensome “good news” in thecity’s financial picture. Hesaid there may be some sav-ings in the city’s pension sys-tem.But he stressed the city still

faces a $4.3 million deficitwithin three years. So far, thepolice and fire unions havenot agreed to contract con-cessions. He said, however,that city employees havebeen “thinking outside of thebox” and have come up with

some suggestions.Councilmember Cathie Gor-

don said she’s opposed tolaying off police officers andfirefighters.“I don’t like the idea of put-

ting our public safety at risk,”she said.Cooper has stressed that

since the cost of public safetytakes up the majority of thecity’s budget, there are fewoptions on where to makecuts. He also stressed thereis little time to negotiate withthe unions.“We have to make the

change very soon or we’ll be

behind the curve,” he said.Cooper added that unless

the state figures out a way toeventually restore the cuts,the city will eventually gobroke.Councilmember Scott Klein

said he’s heard that there are70 communities on the vergeof going bankrupt and thatthere are state-appointed citymanagers waiting in thewings to take over. State ap-pointed emergency financialmanagers have more lever-age in making budget cutsand don’t have to get ap-proval from local officials.

Hamtramck is not alone inmaking cuts to public safety

What are we to make of theHamtramck Police Depart inlight of a lawsuit filed by oneof the department’s officers?The lawsuit, filed by officer

Dennis Nunlee, who is anAfrican-American, alleges thata ranking officer, Lt. RonaldMathias, discriminatedagainst him and frequentlyused the “N” word. The law-suit also said a number of of-ficers openly used that word.The description of what

goes on in the departmentand what is said by some of-ficers is jaw-dropping to saythe least. The suit paints thedepartment with a wide brushas openly racist.It should be noted that

Mathias was suspendedwithout pay for nine days fortelling Nunlee – supposedlyin a joking manner – thatwhites, not blacks, get train-ing.

Other officers accused Nun-lee of exploiting his encounterwith Mathias to win what theycalled the “ghetto lottery.”The fact that Mathias wassuspended for this mattergives credence that Nunleehas a legitimate claim.There are only three African-

American officers on theforce, which consists ofabout 50 officers and detec-tives. That ratio alone isalarming considering the eth-nic and racial diversity inHamtramck.The real damage of this

lawsuit is that it will open thedoor to future claims of dis-crimination and there will bethis lawsuit hanging in the air.So, what, as a community

should we do to reduce the li-ability of the city and essen-tially taxpayers?Unfortunately, the lawsuit

paints the entire department

in a bad light, but we knowthat most of the officers aredecent people who don’t goaround making racial slurs orsingle out ethnic groups.We need to restore the pub-

lic’s trust in the departmentand a key way to do this is toask for a Department of Jus-tice monitor to be appointed.We need an outside, inde-pendent, agent to review thedepartment and make what-ever changes are necessaryto restore the department’strust.We can’t say this enough

that it is unfortunate the en-tire department has beenmade to look bad. But wemust face the fact that thedamage has been done byone of the department’s ownofficers. This isn’t somethingthat the city can sweep underthe rug. By taking a proactivestep, the city will heal faster.

Police lawsuit requirescity to take swift action

A player from theKoscuiszkoCougars triesfor two pointsin Tuesday'sgame againstthe UniversalAcademy Ea-gles. TheCougars wonthe game41-10 and areoff to a 4-0start for theseason.

Aries (March 20-April 19):It's been said that a personwho does not read is no bet-ter off than a person who can-not read. The stars favor anenhancement to our knowl-edge base Aries. Never fearthat doing so will make us aknow-it-all; there will alwaysbe kids to ask us questionswe can't answer.

Taurus (April 20-May 20):"Where there is giving andsharing with no fear of lack,"says Winifred Hausmann,"there is always plenty." Hey,it always seemed to work fortv's The Waltons. Stuff a billor two in those SalvationArmy kettles Taurus, and theUniverse will notice.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): Gemini is known as the mostfickle of all the signs. But wedon't feel fickle this weekGem-we know we're madly inlove with our lover. And we'llstay that way all the way untilwe're madly in love withsomeone else. Seems con-sistent to us.

Cancer (June 21-July 22):"We are put on this earth,"wrote Vonnegut, "to fart

around." Farting around maybe the last thing on our mindthis week Cancer, as workcan't seem to get along with-out us--or is it that we can'tget along without work? Ifmore farting around time isdesired, someone's routine isgoing to have to change.That's not us in the mirror, isit?

Leo (July 22-Aug 23):The lottery has been de-scribed as a tax on peoplewho don't understand com-pounding numbers. This istrue, but it's also true thatsomeone wins. Lady luck maybe on our side this week Leo-but remember, if it's meant tohappen we only need oneticket. Anything more andwe're proving we don't under-stand compounding numbers.

Virgo (Aug 23-Sept 22):"Be where you are," said theBuddha. It's harder advice tofollow than it appears at firstglance, Virgo. On our quest tobe where we really are a GPSunit is no help; try the spiritu-ality plus home-improvementsection of the bookstore forbetter advice.

Libra (Sept 22-Oct 23):"I have nothing to say," wroteJohn Cage, "and I am sayingit, and that is poetry." Hope-fully we're not imitating Cagethis week Libra, because thestars say that the world iswaiting to hear whatever mes-sage we've got to share.

Scorpio (Oct 23-Nov 22):"Almost any man knows howto earn money," saidThoreau, "but not one in amillion knows how to spendit." We'll be certain this does-n't apply to us this week Scor-pio, as we're sure we knowwhere our dollars should go.The stars say-don't be sosure.

Sagittarius (Nov 22-Dec 21):"The moon," said Frank Bor-man, "is a different thing toeach of us." Is this why somany of our romantic picksend up needing flea collars ata Full Moon Sadge? Love is inthe air once again. Hopefullythis time we won't need tocall the Dog Whisperer tohousebreak our latest acqui-sition.

Capricorn (Dec 21-Jan 19):"History doesn't repeat it-

self," remarked Twain, "but itrhymes." Whether or not welike poetry Cappy, we've gotto admit there's poetic justicein our current situation. Theonly question now is will weremember this lesson ormerely use it to create futuredéjà vu moments?

Aquarius (Jan 20-Feb 20):"Anytime you see a turtle ontop of a fence post," ob-served Alex Haley, "you knowhe had some help." Friendscan help get on top of a loom-ing obstacle this week Aquar-ius. Then we'll have time togo look for turtles on fenceposts that need help backdown.

Pisces (Feb 19-March 20):"It never hurts to suck up tothe boss," say the Ferengi,Star-Trek's race of über-capi-talist aliens. People in highplaces can be our benefac-tors Pisces, so if someoneasks us to hold a ladder forthem, don't pass the buck ondown the line.

pleted. In all, the car cantravel several hundred mileson a tank of gasoline.At the press conference,

held at the Poletown Plant,several high-profile elected of-ficials spoke, including Ham-tramck Mayor KarenMajewski.Gov. Jennifer Granholm

said production of the Voltwill be a key part in leadingthe state out of its current“dark economic times.” Shealso said the engineering andproduction of the Volt’s bat-tery is an example of thestate’s attempt to diversifyits economy.The federal government

has given out 12 grants worth$1.3 billion to the state to de-velop this new battery tech-nology. Granholm said thistechnology will lead to thecreation of 40,000 jobs.Michigan has lost one mil-

lion jobs in manufacturing inthe last 10 years, a stagger-ing number that economistssay will never be recovered.Majewski -- a full-time histo-

rian -- put the production ofthe Volt in historical perspec-tive. She said it was 100years ago that the Dodgebrothers opened their DodgeMain Plant in Hamtramck,which at that time was con-sidered a major technologicalleap forward.“So now, nearly one hun-

dred years after we wereformed and transformed bythe technology of the automo-bile, the City of Hamtramckcontinues to travel this his-toric road, together with ourbusiness partners at GM,

UAW workers and our munici-pal neighbor, the great City ofDetroit,” Majewski said.While news of the Volt was

applauded, Hamtramck offi-cials still have a bone of con-tention with Detroit officialsover how much Hamtramckreceives in revenue sharingfrom the Poletown Plant.As of now, the city will re-

ceive $1.9 million less eachyear from the plant. Detroitand Hamtramck have a spe-cial agreement in revenuesharing from the plant, whichstraddles both cities.

Aries (March 20-April 19):"We hardly ever make love,"said Woody Allen in Manhatten,"only twice a week." Later hismovie wife complains, "He al-ways wants to make love-liketwice a week!" Appropriate ap-portioning of resources is thisweek's topic of discussion Aries,but don't let it turn into a Holly-wood comedy.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): "A man," Pam Houston ob-serves, "desires the satisfactionof desire; a woman desires thecondition of desiring." This sim-ple difference keeps Oprah, Dr.Phil, and divorce lawyers in busi-ness. In love matters we want adifferent fantasy fulfilled than apartner does Taurus. That's whyit's best to have two tv's.

Gemini (May 21-June 20):In his new bio, Andre Agassicomplains that ex-wife BrookeShields was more interested in

her own career than in his. Theirony of the complaint seemslost on him. Don't pull an Agassithis week Gem, and we'll provewe know there's more to winningthe game of life than being ableto hit a ball.

Cancer (June 21-July 22): Noticing that his cabin had nocurtains or doormat, a neighborof Thoreau's offered to providethem. He declined, saying noone peeked in his house but sunand moon, and he'd no time toshake a mat. Keeping thingssimple should be our aim thisweek Cancer. Inform the neigh-bors.

Leo (July 22-Aug 23):"What does not benefit thehive," wrote Marcus Aurelius, "isof no benefit to the bee." Seeinganother's needs in a new lightwill reduce confusion on thehome front Leo, and may evenget us out of a sticky situation.

Virgo (Aug 23-Sept 22): "It's a strange world of lan-guage," said Franklin Jones, "inwhich skating on thin ice can getyou into hot water." Taking a vowof silence would be a good ideathis week Virgo, except that textmessaging is the thing thatseems to get people in the mosttrouble these days.

Libra (Sept 22-Oct 23): "Exploitation," say the Ferengi,Star-Trek's race of über-capital-ist aliens, "begins at home."That'll change as soon as Green-peace gets there. We're the signof fair play Libra; remember thatwhen the week brings a chanceto prove it.

Scorpio (Oct 23-Nov 22):"Children are unpredictable,"notes Franklin Jones. "You neverknow what inconsistency they'regoing to catch you in next." Inseeking new directions Scorpio,make sure we've no hiddenagendas. If we do, the kids aresure to notice. We hate it whenthe toddler makes us fess up.

Sagittarius (Nov 22-Dec 21):"Not heaven itself upon the pasthas power," penned Dryden. Ifheaven can't change the past,why are we trying to Sadge? Pay-ing more attention to the presenthelps create a past that requiresno tweaking. Arriving wherewe're going, rather than wherewe've been, is less disorientinganyway.

Capricorn (Dec 21-Jan 19):"You are never given a wish,"wrote Richard Bach, "withoutalso being given the power tomake it true." If this sounds liketypical New Age nonsenseCappy, take comfort in knowingBach adds, "We may have towork for it however." Now thatwe know the catch we can stopworrying that the New Agersknow something we don't--atleast this week, anyway.

Aquarius (Jan 20-Feb 20):If Shakespeare had used Twit-ter, Romeo & Juliet might haveconsisted of one sentence: Twoteenagers fall in love, and thenthey die. This certainly avoids allthe messy complexities of theactual play. Avoiding messy com-plexities is our desire too, Aquar-ius. Unfortunately our life isn't aTwitter tweet either, so goodluck with that.

Pisces (Feb 19-March 20):The map is not the territory, AlKarzybski famously told us. Newdirections in realms of love orprofession would be easier tolaunch if we weren't still con-fused about the old directionsPisces. Did Davy Crockett havethese problems?

GREAT PRICE! $32,000

Do you constantly find yourself wantingwhat others have? Do you struggle withenvy or jealousy? Wanting what we do notpossess is as old as the Garden of Eden. Ofall the fruit in the garden Eve could choose,she desired the only forbidden fruit. Unfor-tunately things have not changed muchsince that time. As sons and daughters ofAdam and Eve we are constantly longing forwhat is not ours. We use the expression,“The grass is always greener on the otherside.”

We also like to use the expression “greenwith envy” (supposedly coined by WilliamShakespeare in his play Othello) to describea person who wants desperately what an-other possesses, so much so that they aresick, or “green” over it. Envy and jealousyare, for the most part, synonyms, howeverthere is a difference. According to Websterenvy is “the painful or resentful awarenessof an advantage enjoyed by another joinedwith a desire to possess the same advan-tage.” Jealousy takes envy a step farther byadding a degree of hostility toward the onewho possesses what you want. Jealousy notonly says, “I want what they have.” In itsdarkest form jealously screams, “I don’twant them to have what I don’t have.”

The depth to which jealousy will sink isillustrated in a story found in 1 Kings 3.Solomon, the wisest king who ever lived,was approached by two ladies who were

fighting over the same baby. One of theladies had accidentally rolled over on herinfant in the middle of the night causing thechild to suffocate. Realizing what had hap-pened she secretly switched her child forthe baby belonging to a friend who wasstaying with her. When the mother of the liv-ing child awoke she immediately realizedwhat had happened and asked for her childback. The other woman refused. The disputewas so severe that the matter was taken be-fore King Solomon. Solomon’s solution wasto have the baby cut in half so that eachmother could have a share. While the falsemother was satisfied with the Kings re-sponse, the true mother was not. To savethe life of the child she quickly agreed to re-linquish possession of her baby to the otherwoman. Recognizing the love of the truemother Solomon granted her the child.

Envy and jealousy are destructive en-emies which must be guarded against. Theaforementioned King Solomon penned thefollowing, “Wrath is a fierce and anger is aflood, but who can stand against jealousy.”One can easily see why a prohibitionagainst jealousy is included in Paul’s de-scription of love—“Love is patient, love iskind, and is not jealous…” (1 Corinthians13:4).

Most people enjoy Christmas. The decora-tions, special music, food, presents, parties,and gift giving all make this time of year spe-cial. Another element of Christmas that af-fects children more so than adults is theexpectation. Counting the days and hoursuntil Christmas is both difficult and exciting.

The birth of Jesus a little over two thou-sand years ago was much more than the ex-pectant culmination of a nine month processfor Mary; rather, His birth represented the ful-fillment of a promise made some four thou-sand years earlier; consequently, Jesus isoften called “the Promised One.” The namePromised One refers to the promise Godmade to Adam and Eve after they rebelledagainst Him in the Garden of Eden (Genesis3:6). In spite of their disobedience God gra-ciously promised One who overcome thepower of sin and death and defeat Satan(Genesis 3:15).

The promise was renewed by God to Abra-ham. In the book of Genesis, chapter 12, Godpromised to make Abraham (at that time hewas called Abram) a great nation, and thatall nations would one day blessed throughthe fulfillment of that promise.

Throughout the Old Testament the promiseis restated in various ways (too many to enu-merate here); consequently, the nation of Is-rael, and all those who called on the nameof the Lord waited expectantly for the Prom-ised One. Malachi was the last prophet tospeak of the Promised One. He was followed

by 400 years of silence—not a single wordfrom God about anything!

For four centuries God’s people waited ex-pectantly for the Promised One without aword from the Promise-Maker. But, when thetime was right God made good on His prom-ise—“But when the fullness of the time came,God sent forth His Son, born of a woman,born under the Law, so that He might redeemthose who were under the Law, that we mightreceive the adoption as sons” (Galatians 4:4-5).

The promise was fulfilled in the person andactions of God’s Son, Jesus Christ. At just theright moment, in the “fullness time,” God sentHis Son to destroy the power of sin and deathfor all who would believe in the PromisedOne.

The much awaited Christmas seasoncomes and goes. Sadly, most who celebrateChristmas do so unaware of its true signifi-cance. Christmas is the celebration of apromise made thousands of years ago thatwas fulfilled by the only One whose promisesnever fail. God’s fulfilled promise entailsmuch more than the short-lived celebrationof a holiday, rather it offers the hope of joyin this life and the life to come— “This is thepromise which He Himself made to us: eter-nal life” (1 John 2:25).



By Brad NeffSome of us know firsthand

the power of a public schoolteacher. We know well how an ex-

ceptional teacher can changethe life of a student. At thefour schools I work at, I’vemet some such teachers.Some of them are new to theHamtramck Public Schools.Some are not. All of themstress reading, the corner-stone of all lifetime learning.Few things could be more im-portant.Please realize that some of

the new generations of Ham-tramck children walk throughcobwebs of discouragementand loneliness. They passthrough streets of conflict,anger, obstacles andpoverty. They sense a darkness to

the poverty. Many of them live on

streets barely lit, in housesdim, in rooms tarnished bythose who have passed be-fore. For such students, it isoften the professional educa-

tor who offers a way out, anacademic path toward even-tual success. For many of these students,

elementary and middleschool levels, my school dis-trict now offers a restorativepractices program. (It’s a dis-cipline program based moreupon cooperation, listening,and motivation than fear, ex-pulsion, and history. It’s aprogram that can increasemotivation, self-worth, andachievement.) Such a program, along with

some exceptional HamtramckPublic School educators, canovercome mediocrity and in-crease literacy. It can alsooffer hope, the light that illu-minates pathways that leadto a successful future. Along with the legacy of ex-

ceptional teachers, hope cancreate the love of learningthat helps children changetheir lives for the better.

(Mr. Neff is a media special-ist for the Hamtramck PublicSchools.)

this year and was ultimatelyselected. “Kazi Miah's impressive

electoral victory to the Ham-tramck City Council, as wellas his long-time service to theBengali community, im-pressed the selection com-mittee and elevated hisapplication,” wrote Steve To-bocman, Co-Director of theMPLP, in an e-mail to the re-view. “We believe that as Kazilearns more about the policyissues facing Michigan, aboutthe political process by whichcandidates get elected, andmore about how good public

policy is developed across po-litical, ideological, and otherlines, he will develop into aleader not just for his owncommunity, but for all ofMichigan.”Miah is the first person

from Hamtramck and the firstBangladeshi to receive theaward. He says he is honoredand excited about it’s not justhim that will benefit from it,but all of Hamtramck.“I’ll be able to take the

things I learn and directly applythem to what I am doing,” hesaid, “so I think the commu-nity is the real winner.”

Miah also says hopes hecan inspire young people fromHamtramck to get more in-volved in local politics andpublic service. And by publicservice he doesn’t necessar-ily mean politics.“You don't have to run for

office to be a public servant,”he said. “You can be a policeofficer, you may become afireman or a teacher. Even at-tending city council meetingsor cutting your neighbors’grass is a form of public serv-ice. There are plenty of thingsthat ordinary citizens can doevery day.”

By Ian PerrottaWho is he?After working with non-profit

community-based social serv-ices for the last severalyears, Tommie Brown is thenew Youth Coach for theHamtramck Weed and Seedprogram. As if Bachelors’ De-grees in philosophy and polit-ical science from CentralMichigan University and aJuris Doctorate from The Thur-good Marshall School of Lawdoesn’t qualify him enoughfor the job, he is currently aearning a Master’s in SocialWork at Wayne State Univer-sity. We caught up with Tom-mie recently to find out moreabout him and just what it ishe is trying to do.

So what exactly is the job de-scription of a Youth Coach?

“The Youth Coach is togather 25 Hamtramck HighSchool youths and to organizethese young people to ad-dress violence amongst youththrough community service

projects. I believe thatone truly effective way to helpyoung people to turn awayfrom delinquent behavior is tohabituate them to think - tothink about the conse-quences of their conduct be-fore they act and to thinkabout their academic and pro-fessional futures.”

That’s a noble task. Do youhave experience doing any-thing similar?

“My experience workingwith teens involves workingwith at-risk youth in Chicagowhere I worked as a Restora-tive Justice coordinator. Ialso worked with Detroit highschoolers during an UpwardBound program where Iserved as a college mentor.”

What types of programs doyou plan to implement here inHamtramck?

“I would like to incorporatesome academic and socialprogramming for youth, in ad-dition to the community serv-ice aspect of the Youth Coachposition. I would like to es-tablish youth driven mentor-ships - where youths mentoreach other. I would also liketo create a Young Profession-als of Hamtramck program,where youths gather to dis-cuss and work on discover-ing or developing their careerplans, college/trade schoolapplications, writing sam-ples, resumes, and othersuch things in preparation forlife after high school.”

You could really help out thecity by doing that. What do youhope to accomplish?

“I hope to encourage theyouth here in Hamtramck tovalue their personal develop-ment through productive andpositive interaction with eachother and with other Ham-tramck community residents.I hope to motivate the youthto think deeply about theirlives beyond high school - tothink about directing their tal-ents and skills toward ca-reers that are fitting for themand to desire to excel atthem. I hope to discourageyouth from engaging in delin-quency by instilling hope inthem and nurturing this posi-tive outlook I want them to

have for their own lives.”

What kind of an impact doesthat have on the community?

“When youths becomedeeply invested in themselvesand begin to recognize thevalue in personal well-being,they are motivated to flourishsocially and academically -and this has a broader posi-tive impact on the communityin which these young peoplelive. I think one reason whyyoung people engage in delin-quency is because many havescant or no regard for their fu-tures or how their behaviorcan impact their future en-deavors. To address this,I encourage young people to
