entering her fourth term.In the city council race,

both incumbents AndreaKarpinski and Ian Perrottawill return with a newmember, Fadel Al-Mar-soumi.Councilmember Mo-

hammed Hassan lost hisbid to unseat Mayor Ma-jewski by a 2-1 margin.Hassan opted not to runfor re-election and insteadchallenged Majewski.He could not be

reached for comment.Karpinski was the top

vote-getter in the AugustPrimary Election and re-mained the number onevote-getter in Tuesday’selection. Perrotta movedup one notch from the pri-mary election from thirdplace to second. Council candidate Nay-

so, the city could save$3 million.That revelation came

in a Detroit Free Pressinterview that was pub-lished on Nov. 5. However, prior to that

publication, Hassan hadadamantly taken the op-posite stand whenpressed on the issue,and said he is in favor ofkeeping both depart-ments.Hassan has been on

save money. Most of thecity’s $16 million budgetis spent on police andfire services.The idea of eliminating

the fire department hasbeen political suicide forelected officials. Resi-dents and firefighterssay that because of thedensity of housing here,it is critical for the city tohave a separate fire de-partment.But the idea of a public

safety departmentreared up a few yearsago when the state con-templated taking overcontrol of the city via anemergency manager. Thestate treasurer at thetime, Andy Dillon, report-edly told city officials

that the city has to “getout of the fire business.”That was in 2013. By

the time an emergencymanager was appointedby the governor, Dillonwas gone and the ideaof eliminating the fire de-partment also vanished.The Review has at-

tempted to reach out toHassan in recent weeksonly to get a recordingon his phone that saidhis message box wasfilled to capacity.For several years some

fellow councilmemberssuspected Hassan se-cretly wanted to gut thefire department, butwhen asked publicly hedenied it.Even if Hassan was

elected mayor, there islittle he could do aboutchanging up the policeand fire departments.The city is still under thesupervision of a stateappointed financial advi-sory board.Any major change in

contracts or any financialdecisions have to be ap-proved by the board. Ontop of that, the city is runby a city manager. Therole of elected officials islimited, according to thecity charter.But the issue of fund-

ing the fire departmentwill become a top prioritywhen a federal grant thatpays for the salaries offirefighters runs out inthe next financial year.The city will lose about

$1 million in funding peryear that went towardsalaries. Former CityManager Katrina Powellhad said last year shewas working with stateofficials on how the citywill pick up the costagain.Powell’s employment

contract ran out at theend of June. It is not im-mediately known howthe city will be able toshoulder the cost ofsalaries. On top of that,the city is already head-ing into another financialcrisis over funding itspension obligations.

classic American situa-tion here -- families walk-ing their kids to school.”In a city the size of

Hamtramck, walking isthe best first option toreach your destination.Cycling is second best,getting there by car a dis-tant third. The superin-tendent’s message tochildren and parents isan important one. Children that walk to

school perform better inthe classroom. From anarticle I found at irish-times.com: “A Dutchstudy of 20,000 childrenaged 5-19 proved thatthose who cycled orwalked to school per-formed better on testsdemanding concentra-tion, the effects of whichlasted up to four hoursafter they began theschool day.” The network of side-

walks (and alleys, if youprefer, as I often do)offer easy accessibilityto anywhere on foot.They were designed foruse by all: young, oldand everyone in be-tween. Now think about this,

an idea sure to be con-sidered absurd only afew years ago: today youcan live in Hamtramck,not own a car and enjoya high quality of life. Ihave a car, which I sel-dom drive, but I am cur-rently imagining my lifewithout it. I would save between

$1,200 and $1,400 ininsurance (that numberis reasonable comparedto others that pay muchmore), and another$500-1000 in gas andbasic maintenance (thatnumber could be higherif serious repairs or re-placement parts areneeded). So let’s say without a

car I save around$2,500 per year. Ridesharing options, like

Uber and Lyft, are avail-able usually within min-utes if I need to go to thegreater downtown area;and for longer out oftown trips I can do Zipcar(available in Hamtramckat zipcar.com/detroit). I am also open to shar-

ing rides with friendswho have cars. Other-wise, I walk or ride mybike (I need an upgrade,will be looking for a newor used cruiser this win-ter).I serve on the board of

a nonprofit that meets ina building on E. GrandBlvd and Beaubien, adistance of 2.7 milesfrom my doorstep. I’vewalked there severaltimes, taking St. Aubinsouth from Holbrook toClay to the I-75 servicedrive to Grand Blvd. Of-tentimes I will cut upCuster to Beaubien tothe boulevard. I’ve alsowalked a few blocks far-

ther to take the streetcardowntown.I find my head is

clearer after walking,that I can function betterin meetings or when Ineed to communicate byvoice or the written word.It makes sense: movingthe body forward throughspace and over time im-proves the circulation ofoxygen to the brain.Walking is the mostbasic and productivehuman activity there is. For another recent

meeting, I walked to thenewly reopened OuterLimits Bar at Caniff andBuffalo, one of the north-east edges of the city.Immediately afterwards,I walked to another farpoint in Hamtramck, to aclosing art party atPopps Packing, on St.Aubin and Carpenter.The party was called

European Secret Salon.

Providing quick recovery and quality care through our comprehensive rehabilitation program.

By Alan MadeleineThe Review Special WriterThis town is just burst-

ing with history.It is at once a singular

history of American immi-gration, but also a millionseparate stories of inge-nuity and persistence.A couple of weeks ago,

we mentioned some up-grades in the works forthe Hamtramck HistoricalMuseum. But the HHMisn't the only museumwith things percolating.There is also plenty afootwith the city's UkrainianAmerican Archives andMuseum.Founded in 1958, origi-

nally in a former bankbuilding on Woodward, thenow-relocated UkrainianMuseum had become along-time landmark at thesoutheast intersection ofCharest and Commor. Arecent move now placesthem very near the Ham-tramck Historical Museumon Jos. Campau. The ad-dress will be 9630 Jos.Campau, on the east sideof the street in what usedto the Fashion Kraze cloth-ing store between Edwinand Norwalk.The Hamtramck Histori-

cal Museum is just ablock farther south, on thewest side. Also in thisnow-burgeoning culturalcenter area can be foundthe Polish Art Center andTekla Vintage store.The Ukrainian Museum

has a grand openingplanned for this Saturday,Nov. 11, from 4 until 7p.m., that will include aribbon cutting ceremonyat 5 p.m. The followingday, Sunday, Nov. 12,there will be an open

house from 10 a.m. until3 p.m. Featured both dayswill be an ongoing sale byUkrainian artists.The museum has, per

its website, hosted someother fairly significant ex-hibits in the past, includ-ing ones on ritual cloth,headdresses and deco-rated Easter eggs. Theyhave also hosted a youthsymposium.We asked museum rep-

resentative Nadia Juzychto answer a few questionsfor us.

Review: Thanks foragreeing to answer a fewshort questions. Looking at your web-

site, it says there's beena Ukrainian museum atone location or another inHamtramck since 1958.That, of course, would'vebeen while Ukraine wassolidly a part of the So-viet Union. Can you ex-pound upon theimportance to the com-munity here in the U.S. ofhaving a museum specifi-cally for Ukrainian cul-ture, even as the countrywas absorbed for a longtime into the larger wholeof the U.S.S.R.?Juzych: Ukraine always

has and always will be aseparate nation, with itsown distinct culture, lan-guage and customs. As a"captive nation" under theSoviet Union, it becameincreasingly important forexiled Ukrainians to pre-serve and cultivate theiridentity, as Ukrainian cul-ture and language werebrutally suppressed dur-ing Soviet rule.The arts were especially

targeted. Despite being

occupied through much ofits history, Ukraine’s iden-tity remains as strong asever. On August 24,Ukraine celebrated year26 of its regained inde-pendence.Since that time, many

new immigrants have relo-cated to the Detroit area,and now reside in Ham-tramck. The Ukrainian-American Archives andMuseum serves a vitalrole not only for theUkrainian community, butfor the community atlarge, by showcasing itsunique culture and endur-ing spirit, and passing thisdown to future genera-tions.

Review: The museum'swebsite's mission state-ment mentions, in part:research; the preserva-tion of documents and ar-tifacts; and so forth. Canyou give examples ofsome of the museum'smore interesting items inits collection?Juzych: Firstly, the

archives and photos of Dr.Mary Beck, the first fe-male president of the De-troit City Council. She wasthe first Ukrainian Ameri-can to serve in this capac-ity, and she also servedas the acting mayor of thecity of Detroit from 1958-1962. We even have herchair and gavel, some ofher telegrams, etc.There are many oral his-

tories in the exhibit of the1932-33 Holodomor (arti-ficial famine/genocide),which was perpetuated byStalin’s regime to forcecollectivization. Millions ofpeople starved to deathduring this time. The term

Holodomor, incidentally,translates to “death byhunger.”There are oral histories

of Auschwitz survivors,the World War II archive ofKrochmaluk, and originalphotos from the 1986Chornobyl nuclear disas-ter.The museum has a rare

document signed by Met-ropolitan Andrei Shep-tysky, a candidate forsainthood.There is a death mask

of Taras Shevchenko'sface (Ukraine's most fa-mous poet and artist),and a document authenti-cating it. We also have hismulti-volume book ofpoems, “Kobzar” (mean-ing “The Bard”), and pho-tos of his paintings.Shevchenko lived from1814-61, and his life jour-ney was extraordinary --from serfdom, to exile, tointernational acclaim.The Kobzar is very im-

portant to Ukrainians, asit played an important rolein both galvanizing Ukrain-ian identity and in devel-oping Ukrainian literature.When the book was firstpublished, it was cen-

lost one of their own. Aman with a most inter-esting background inlocal sports, specificallybaseball, and an envi-able career in coaching.Robert "Bob" Kloss

was a St. Lad's gradu-ate, Class of 1966. Astar player for theschool, according to afellow teammate hepitched the Greyhoundsto the city championship,held at Tiger Stadiumthat same year.He was also drafted

that year in the 11thround of the MajorLeague Baseball draft byhis hometown DetroitTigers. Significantly, hewent ahead of someother well-known futuremajor leaguers.Among those he pre-

ceded in the 1966 draftwas Ron Cey, who ulti-mately had a long careerprimarily for the Dodgersand Cubs in the 70s and80s. Kloss was also se-lected ahead of Ted Size-more and Geoff Zahn, apair of University ofMichigan grads whoalso, oddly enough, eachlogged time with theDodgers and Cubs.He never pursued a pro

career beyond that point,however. He chose in-stead to remain in the

area to attend WayneState University, and ulti-mately to teach othersthe game at which he ex-celled.While pitching for

Wayne State in the years1967 through 1970,Kloss never failed topitch a complete game,according to Tony Paul ofthe Detroit News. Heended up, at that time,second in career winswith 16 and in careerstrikeouts with 165 for

the Tartars, as they werethen known.After graduating, Kloss

took a teaching positionwith the Woodhaven-Brownstown School Dis-trict. He ended upstaying for 47 years, onlyretiring in 2014, threeyears before his passing.Mr. Kloss also offici-

ated basketball games.He had played a seasonfor the basketball teamat Wayne State whilethere, in addition to hisfour years with the base-ball squad.Later in life, Kloss was

awarded a couple ofprestigious honors forhis life’s efforts. He wasvoted into Wayne State’ssports Hall of Fame in2000. He was then rec-ognized with admissionto the Michigan HighSchool BaseballCoaches AssociationHall of Fame a couple ofyears ago, in 2015. He had piloted the

Woodhaven team to over500 victories total in hislong stint there. He hadcoached other sports aswell, at both the highschool and junior highlevels.A resident of Trenton at

the time of his passing,Kloss is survived by awife, three daughters,five grandchildren, andthree siblings. Anothersister preceded him indeath.

Iraq. Majewski credited her

success to networkingacross ethnic lines.“I think the lesson of

this election is that inorder to succeed, whetherthrough elected office orcivic activism, one has toreach across borders tobuild relationships and arecord of cooperation,”Majewski said in an emailto The Review.“That's really a tribute

to Hamtramck residents,who are looking for trust-worthy decision makerswho committed to servingeveryone. That was trulythe message of this elec-tion, and it should causeus to take heart.”Perrotta echoed the

same sentiment at a vic-tory party at PLAV Post10. He said the resultsshowed this election“crossed a lot of lines.”“It’s a show of matu-

rity,” he said. “It’s a goodday for Hamtramck.”

Now that Majewski hasa slight majority on coun-cil, a question amongsome city hall observerswas whether this meansformer city manager Kat-rina Powell will return.Her employment con-

tract ran out at the end ofJune. Hassan and Coun-cilmembers Anam Miah,Saad Almasmari and AbuMusa blocked a contractextension with her.Majewski, Karpinski

and Perrotta wanted herto remain on the job. Ma-jewski told The Reviewthat search for a new citymanager will continue.“There will be no under-

mining or interrupting thatprocess. I think we're allpretty eager to see whatcandidates the firmbrings to us for review,and we'll base our deci-sion on the backgroundsof and interviews withthose candidates, who-ever they may be,” Majew-ski said.

In Our Opinion

The city recently an-nounced that it is part-nering up with a stateagency to streamlinethe process of busi-nesses being able toopen up here.That’s long overdue

good news. Unfortu-nately, because of thenature of bureaucracy,this plan will take sometime to put into place.One area that needs

desperately to bestreamlined is gettingapproval for a develop-ment, specifically onethat is considered un-conventional, or in thejargon of officialdom,“non-conforming.”Case in point, a local

dentist wants to turn anunused parking lot be-hind his dwelling into asmall development oftownhouses. The park-ing lot is pie-shaped,which presented aminor obstacle from theget-go, and there are

several other zoning is-sues that needed to bewaived.While the develop-

ment basically got thego-ahead from the Zon-ing Board of Appeals, itstill has to jumpthrough several morehoops with the PlanCommission, and possi-bly have to come backto the ZBA for morewaivers.The whole process, to

us, seems too layeredand cumbersome. Thedevelopment is un-usual, but there isplenty of room for theunusual here in Ham-tramck.In fact, during Ham-

tramck’s boom period,in the early 1920s,when the populationwent from a few thou-sand to close to50,000, housing wentup with lighteningspeed.Yes, there were some

unwise – and even dan-gerous – zoning devel-opments. But theobstacles today tend tosmother developmentjust because it’s differ-ent. We don’t have tohave everything lookthe same or conform towhat’s considered thestandard.In other words, let’s

be creative and open-minded. Heck, let’seven have some funwith development.Hamtramck is not

business friendly in thatregard -- but then again,that is true for manyother communities.We need to stream-

line many things in cityhall. At least we are ata start toward a betterdirection. Let’s justcross our fingers thatchange doesn’t take solong that we miss outon some exciting possi-bilities.

It’s long overdue to cut thered tape for development

It was hosted by two Ger-man artists, Anna Mc-Carthy and Gabi Blum,who were finishing amonth-long residency atPopps. One of their fea-tured pieces was a videothe women shot in Ham-tramck while walking orcycling. Their camerawas pointed at mundaneand ordinary things wesee every day — thestorefronts on Jos. Cam-pau, wood frame housesin the neighborhoods —but the city came vi-brantly alive throughtheir fresh eyes.Something Gabi said

struck me while their

short documentary filmlooped in the back-ground. She said thestreets appeared emptyto her most of the time,that compared to Munichwhere she and Anna live,few people here walk orcycle. Space is competi-tive and expensivewhere they live, shesaid, bodies are visibleeverywhere in public, ontheir way to work or play,day and night.When I walked home,

there was no one on thestreets at 12:30 a.m.Aside from motorists, Iencountered not a singlesoul over the one mile

trek to my house atEdwin and Gallagher. Where is everybody?

How could this be inwhat many people nowbelieve is the mostdensely populated city inMichigan? I have some thoughts

to share in the next col-umn on why that is,along with some strate-gies and tactics to bringmore activity to the city’sstreets.

‘Tis the season… Thecity and the publicschool district’s recre-ation department areteaming up to sponsor aholiday celebration.On Thursday, Nov. 30,

sored by the Russian czar.Every Ukrainian childgrows up recitingShevchenko’s poems.The museum also

houses film reels and vin-tage photos of immigra-tion events, organizations,schools, churches, con-certs, performances, etc.There are some 25,000books for research andreading.Also, there is an embroi-

Review: Mr. GeorgeStasiw is your currentboard president. Any-thing interesting or perti-nent in his past, or forthat matter, for any of theothers currently (or for-merly) connected to themuseum?Juzych: George Stasiw

was born and raised inDetroit to Ukrainian post-war immigrant parents,who raised George andhis five siblings with botha strong foundation in,and a love for, Ukrainianhistory, art, food andmusic.George’s father, Peter

Stasiw, was principal ofImmaculate ConceptionHigh School in Ham-tramck, on Hanley St., forover 25 years. Peter dedi-

cated his life to preserv-ing Ukrainian heritagethrough education, andhis youngest son Georgecontinues his legacythrough his own very ac-tive involvement in theUkrainian community.In his role as a musi-

cian, George -- along withhis twin brother Andrew --had an opportunity to rep-resent the United Statesin a Ukrainian Music Fes-tival in Chernivts back in1989. This was during theSoviet era, and Georgeand Andrew’s band wasthe first to publicly per-form the Ukrainian Na-tional Anthem in theirhomeland in over 35years.This was considered to

be a very bold move at thetime, as independencewas considered equiva-lent to treason.Andrew is also very ac-

tive in New York City,where he lives; he is theprincipal of St. George’sUkrainian Academy, a col-lege preparatory highschool. This is the onlyUkrainian Catholic HighSchool left in the UnitedStates.

Review: As regards thenew building and itsgrand opening: Why wasit deemed necessary toget into a newfacility? How did youcome to choose your newlocation? Did it have any-

thing to do with beingnear the Hamtramck His-torical Museum, or wasthat just chance? Juzych: The Board of

Trustees had beensearching for a locationfor a new museum build-ing for several years, aswe long ago had outgrownthe 1,400-square-foot fa-cility on Charest in Ham-tramck. The new museumhas more than 13,500square feet!The museum has a

large collection of paint-ings, costumes, artifacts,historical archives, andabout 25,000 books thathad been previously keptin storage, in both base-ments and a warehouse,for many years. Locationsacross southeast Michi-gan were initially consid-ered for the new location,but we recognized thevalue in returning to ourroots in Hamtramck.A thriving Ukrainian

community still lives inthe city, and we see Ham-tramck experiencing trans-formative times. Webelieve the city serves asan active cultural hub, andis a wonderful locationfrom which to promoteethnic diversity in thegreater Detroit area.The new location of the

Ukrainian AmericanArchives and Museum isnow ideally located onJoseph Campau, across
