By Charles SercombeHamtramck’s party of all

parties is just around the cor-ner.Paczki Day -- Hamtramck’s

very own version of MardiGras and Fat Tuesday -- is a lit-tle later than usual this year,but here it comes next Tues-day (March 4).And Lordy, could we use a

celebration around here. Win-ter’s icy grip just won’t let go,quietly sucking us all into itspolar vortex.Enough already.One way to cure these arctic

blues is to hit the bars early

on Paczki Day, down someshots and listen to The PolishMuslims at New DodgeLounge. After that it’s a triparound town with live music atWhiskey in the Jar, PLAV Post10 and Small’s Bar.As usual, thousands of

paczki lovers will be lined upall day in front of the city’s twomain bakeries, New Palaceand New Martha Washington,both on Jos. Campau and ashort walk from each other.At New Martha, located near

Caniff, the bakery will be openall day and night starting Mon-

By Charles SercombeHamtramck would be look-

ing at a nearly $9 millionbudget surplus today insteadof a budget deficit if it hadn’tbeen for a steady progres-sion of state cuts.That’s what Anthony Mingh-

ine, the Associate Director ofthe Michigan MunicipalLeague, says in a recent col-umn he wrote for theLeague’s upcoming maga-zine.Minghine minces no words

in how Michigan’s past andpresent officials have han-dled the state’s financial cri-sis. The solution to fixing thestate’s budget woes, Mingh-ine said, came on the backsof communities by slashingmillions of dollars in staterevenue sharing.“This would be like me tak-

ing your money to pay mybills, and then telling you thatyou need to be more respon-sible with your householdbudget,” Minghine said in ref-erence to the state’s steadycuts in revenue sharing tocommunities.While the state now enjoys

a billion dollar surplus, manycommunities are teetering onthe edge of financial col-lapse. Several months ago,Hamtramck couldn’t hold outany longer and was among ahandful of cities that wastaken over by a state-ap-pointed emergency manager.Minghine likens the state’s

financial moves to robbery.“There have been a lot of

high profile robberies over theyears. The Lufthansa robbery,D.B. Cooper highjacking, theAntwerp Diamond Caper ...

By Charles SercombeBlame the frigid weather for

the delay to upgrade streetlights along Jos. Campau.Work on swapping out the old

lighting system and installingenergy-efficient LED lights wassupposed to begin a month ago.But the lingering cold snap pre-vented work crews from diggingto install new wiring.The new wiring system will

prevent all lights from going outwhen a single light goes out.Last week’s warmer weather

allowed work to begin on Fridayto install the new system, whichwill include lights from Caniff toPulaski and Holbrook to Dan-forth.The project costs $170,000

and will eventually save the city$16,000 a year in energy costs.

It’s a Paczki Day party here in Hamtown …

Hamtramck bakeries are already gearing up for Paczki Daythis coming Tuesday. Thousands of visitors are expected to hitthe town.

By Greg KowalskiThere are two stoves in the

Hamtramck Historical Museum.One is a traditional pot bellystyle, the kind you see in West-ern movies. It’s nice, but hardlyunique.The other, however, is another

story, one that extends deepinto Hamtramck’s past. Garland stoves were first pro-

duced in 1864 at a firm thateventually became the Michi-gan Stove Company, one of theleading industrial companies inthe metro area. In that pre-autoera, Detroit was already devel-oping a reputation as a manu-facturing center for stoves andstreet and rail cars. In fact, the

manufacturing facilities playeda big part in the development ofthe auto industry here.By the turn of the 20th cen-

tury there were five major stovecompanies in the area, and De-troit became known as the“Stove Capital of the World.”That was a bit misleading sincesome of those companies, likethe Peninsular Stove Company,were actually located in Ham-tramck Township, not Detroit.Garland stoves were a hit

with consumers and soon therewere more than 200 varietiesof Garland stoves. Perhaps themost famous stove in theseparts was the huge Garlandthat used to stand at the en-tranceway to Belle Isle, thenwas later moved to the Michi-gan State Fair Grounds at EightMile Road and Woodward,where, sadly, is was destroyedby a fire a few years ago.That Garland, promoted as

the “World’s Largest Stove,”was built for the 1893 WorldColumbian Exhibition inChicago.But there are more practical

examples of Garland stovesstill around, including themodel at the Hamtramck His-torical Museum. The modelthere dates from about the1920s or 1930s, and is gas fu-eled. It has a beautiful tan andwhite marble-colored finish.And it is gas-fired. That was a

day. This year’s special paczkiis “rose” flavored, as in rose-hips.Owner Sandy Bakic said pre-

orders are already pouring in.As for the around-the-clockmarathon she’s about to expe-rience, she says there is noway to really prepare.“We just do our hardest.”Over at New Palace, just a

few blocks south of NewMartha, owner Vicky Og-nanovich said the way to ap-proach her long day is to keepfocused.“Just work hard, don’t think

about anything and don’t look

back,” she said.New Palace’s featured

paczki is a chocoholic’s de-light: a mixture of strawberryand tons of chocolate.New Palace will open its

doors at 3 a.m., and you canbet there will be a line waiting.Need to get a paczki on the

run and avoid long lines? Noproblem. Detroit Donut in theHamtramck Town Center andFamily Donut on Conant andCaniff have plenty of the tastypastries on hand to handle theoverflow for those on the run.Hungry for something

meatier? Besides our famous

Polish restaurants, Polish Vil-lage Café and Polonia, you canfind a hearty meal at PLAVPost 10 on Jos. Campau onthe northside.Meals, drinks and bands

start at 12:30 p.m. and go allnight.How about the idea of

paczki and liquor mixed all upin one? Check out this “only-in-Hamtramck” specialty at

Small’s Bar where you candown their very own concoc-tion called a “Paczki Bomb.”If you plan to make a day of

it or just a night in Ham-tramck, you might want to planahead and take off work onWednesday, because brother,it’s a serious party here intown.

Paczki Day

Mardi Gras

Hurricanes

By Tanni DebSpecial to The ReviewAt the end of January, a few

heroes emerged in the city ofHamtramck.Ryszard Pasienski, a resi-

dent of Sterling Heights, wasvisiting his sister who lives inTrowbridge St. a few weeksago. He said at 9 a.m. heheard someone screamingoutside. “I looked out of the window

and saw that the houseacross the street was onfire,” Pasienski said. “Theycouldn’t escape … and so

they were screaming.”Although the tenants from

the lower level of the two-story house were able to

leave the burning house, twogirls and a man residing onthe upper floor flat were un-able to get out. Pasienski said he ran to

his truck and pulled out aladder. “I took it out, put it on the

porch, and the tenants fromupstairs came down the lad-der,” he said. “The minutethe girls and the guy camedown from upstairs, the firetrucks arrived.”Everyone was safely re-

moved from the house.Hamtramck Fire Chief Paul

Wilk gave a certificate of ap-

preciation to Pasienski forhis assistance and courage.Pasienski said he appreci-

ates the certificate, addingthat “everyone would dowhat I did if they had a ladderin their truck.”The Hamtramck Police De-

partment has also praisedFred Bell Jr., a resident ofHamtramck, for protecting anabducted 15-year-old girl lastmonth. The teen was kidnapped

from outside of her Detroithome while she was search-ing for her cell phone. Accord-ing to Detroit police, the manwho approached her hit herin the head, forced her intohis car, and while driving tohis apartment in Hamtramckmade “sexually explicit com-ments” to her. The teen man-aged to escape from the carnear Commor St. and soughthelp from Bell Jr.Bell’s action allowed police

to arrest the suspect, WilliamFortson, who has since beencharged with several felonycounts. Bell couldn’t be reached for

comment, but when he washanded a certificate of appre-ciation at a recent city coun-cil meeting he said: “This ismy city, and I’d do it again if Ihad to.”

but these crimes look ama-teurish compared to the stateof Michigan’s Great RevenueSharing Heist,” he said.“The state has managed to

pinch over $6 billion in rev-enue sharing from local gov-ernment over the last severalyears. Those numbers wouldeven get Bernie Madoff’s at-tention.”Minghine concedes that

revenue cuts were not theonly culprit. Contributing tothe statewide financial crisiswere the decline in propertytax collections via the col-lapse of the housing marketand the ever-increasing coststo carry the load of city pen-sioners.Minghine said the remedy

is for the state to restorethose cuts, or risk having al-most every city fail. Thestatewide financial collapse,he said, would have a rippleeffect by turning off anyonewanting to remain living hereor thinking about movinghere.“Our goal must be to en-

sure that our cities are vi-brant places that people willchoose to live in, and thatcan only happen if the statefulfills its promise and re-sponsibility to invest wherethe rubber meets the road,and that is at the local level,”Minghine said.Hamtramck Mayor Karen

Majewski, a former presidentof the League, couldn’t agreemore. But, she said, the callfor restoring funding hasfallen on deaf ears by somestate legislators.“It signals the broken rela-

tionship between municipali-ties, legislatures and thegovernor’s office,” she said.

In last week’s issue wereprinted a column originallyappearing in the MichiganDaily that quoted Mayor KarenMajewski extensively.The subject of the column

was the impact of defundingmunicipalities and the rise ofemergency managers.We agree with the mayor

that the city’s financial woestook a turn for the worse whenSnyder in particular slashedfunding to cities and expectedthem to survive. Snyder’s di-rective to cities was to elimi-nate redundant services andteam up with neighboringcommunities to merge theirservices.That was a needed kick in

the pants for cities to reducecosts to taxpayers. But forcities like Hamtramck, sharingservices with our neighbors

— who were and are farworse off — was unfeasible.While city officials had little

wiggle room to cut costs andno power to rip up labor con-tracts, they didn’t help mat-ters.Case in point, city officials

reversed a decision by a pre-vious city manager to cut fullhealth benefits to new hires inthe fire department after for-mer Emergency FinancialManager Lou Schimmel hadpaid dearly to get that elimi-nated.What was the point of that?Clearly, city officials made a

bad financial decision there.And furthermore, it didn’t helpthat there was continual bick-ering among officials and theirrunning interference with theday-to-day business of cityhall.

On top of all that, city offi-cials fired and hired a succes-sion of city managers whilethe city’s finances whirled outof control. It’s one thing to cry foul

when Snyder cuts your staterevenue and another for cityofficials to fan the flames ofchaos at the same time.Mayor Majewski complains

that the current emergencymanager refuses to keep cityofficials in the loop and tutorthem on finances. The EMprobably should be sharing in-formation, but let this be alesson to city officials, too. If you run roughshod over

city managers as your city im-plodes financially, don’t ex-pect the state to come herewith open arms.

By Charles SercombeHamtramck is going to rock

again in March.With The Metro Times

Blowout now permanentlymoved back a month from itstraditional date in the secondweekend of March, there’sbeen a void.Here to fill that musical vac-

uum is the newly-createdHamtramck Music Festival.OK, not the catchiest title, butit’s to the point, and evenmore to the point, it’s aboutmusic and the community,says co-organizer EugeneStrobe.“There are some people

who felt something was takenaway,” he told The Review in atelephone interview in refer-ence to the Blowout nowbeing held in April and ex-panded to include Ferndaleand Detroit. And, also spurring on the

idea of creating another inde-pendent festival here was thefact that Paczki Day also coin-cided this year with the festi-val week.

“It’s the perfect eye of thestorm to have a music festivalhappen in Hamtramck,”Strobe said.The festival is slated for

March 7-8 with a kick-off partyon March 6 at Small’s Bar. Itdidn’t take much to garner in-terest in the event. There are160-plus bands lined up and18 bars, halls and storesready to play host.For music fans, it’s bargain

city. Wristbands for all nightsare only $10. In other words,10 bucks gets you three-nights’ worth of music. Youcan purchase wristbands herein Hamtramck at DetroitThreads, Lo & Behold, RecordGraveyard, Rock City Eateryand Small’s Bar.There are some big names

on the bill. Soul legend MelvinDavis will host his 45-singlerelease party and well-knownacts like the Johnny Ill Band,Bad Indians, Cosmic LightShapes, Bars Of Gold, BlairElise & The Bombshells,Danny Kroha, DeCamp Sis-ters, Frustrations, Lac La

Belle, Isles of ESP, OscillatingFan Club, Pink Lightning,Pretty Ghouls and the Von-neguts will be playing.If the past is any guide,

count on bad weather to hit.No problem, though, the festi-val has you covered. The De-troit Bus Co. will be on handto transport festivalgoers fromone venue to another.Venues include Baker Street

Car, Cafe 1923, Capo Bar, Chi-ipss Skate Shop, DetroitThreads, Kelly's Bar, Lo & Be-hold, Mars Bar, New Dodge,Painted Lady, Paychecks, PLAVPost 10, Polish Village Café,Rock City Eatery, 7 Brothers,Smalls Bar and Whiskey InThe Jar.We’ll have more details next

week, but in the meantimefind out the latest at hamtram-ckmusicfestival.com.While you’re there, be sure

to check out a music vid byBars of Gold that promotesthe festival. It’s one of our fa-vorite tunes in the office, andfeatures a funny ride throughtown.

Music festival fills the voidleft from the ‘Blowout’

By Charles SercombePope Park will soon get its

first significant makeoversince it was installed in1982.The park’s centerpiece is a

statue of Pope John Paul II,the only person of Polish de-scent to be named pope.The Karol Josef Wojtyla

Committee presented itsplans for renovation of thepark to the city council a fewweeks ago, and received theirsupport.The committee, named

after the late Pope’s birthname, will remove the irongating around the park andbring in landscaping.Committee member Tom

Jankowski, who is also theformer mayor of Hamtramckas well as a recent city coun-cilmember, said it will costabout $50,000 to make im-mediate repairs and improve-

ments.The committee is on its way

to becoming a 501 (c) non-profit that can accept dona-tions directly. Until that time,donations can be madethrough the Piast Institute.Previous work was done to

shore up the foundation ofthe statue, which was de-signed by the late Bruno Now-icki.The iron gates came from

the old Dodge Main plant,which at one time was Ham-tramck’s top employer andtaxpayer. The gates will be do-nated to the Hamtramck His-torical Museum.Work on the park this year

coincides with Pope John PaulII being canonized as a sainton April 27.The erection of the statue

caused a minor controversybecause the pope was stillalive. It’s customary for stat-

ues to be installed after thedeath of the subject in ques-tion.But the love and pride of

Polish-Americans trumpedanyone’s sense of properdecorum, and thousands ofvisitors have since made tripshere to view it.Even the Pope gave a

thumbs up when he visitedHamtramck in 1987. Hepassed the statue during hismotorcade down Jos. Cam-pau to what was then anempty field at Campau andHewitt St. where he ad-dressed thousands of peoplewaiting to see him.It was one of three

speeches he gave during hisvisit to Detroit that year. InHamtramck, he stressed theimportance for immigrants tokeep in touch with their ethnicand family roots.

pose at the time -- heating. Wellinto the 20th century, housesin Hamtramck did not have fur-naces. Heat was provided bystoves, including the kitchenstove. Imagine getting up on afrigid winter morning and havingto set fire to the wood in astove, and waiting until it gen-erated enough heat to boil atub of water for washing up --there were no water heatersthen either.The wood or coal burning

stove would gradually heat upthe kitchen, making it morebearable in the winter.Gas stoves made that

process immensely easier andquicker. And as the stoveevolved, so did household heat-ing, moving up from pot bellystoves to coal-fired, then oil-fu-eled furnaces and finally gasfurnaces, which is what mosthouses have today. The Garland was a technolog-

ical wonder of its time. Garlandstoves are still manufacturedtoday, and some carry prettyhefty price tags -- $7,000 andmore. They no doubt are of finequality, but it’s doubtful thatgetting one today would be asexciting as back in the “olddays” when the arrival of a newstove was a life-transformingexperience.You can see the classy Gar-

land (and it’s more modest potbelly cousin) at the Hamtramckhistorical Museum, 9525 Jos.Campau, between Poland andNorwalk streets. It’s open from11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdaysand Sundays and by appoint-ment. Call (313) 893-5027.
