City Manager Kathy An-gerer said, at a recentcity council meeting, thather administration will beinstalling more stopsigns, starting off withtwo at Pulaski Park, oneat Lumpkin and Edwin,and the other at Lumpkinand Norwalk.

That means driverstraveling north- andsouthbound will have tomake two stops beforeproceeding.

That area has long

been a gathering spot foryoung males, who like toshow off in their sports

cars and speed aroundthe park – much to theendangerment of young

children and families.

Now that summer ishere, a lot of us are stillscrambling to get intoshape.

A major challenge formost folks is maintaininga proper fitness regimen,and a nutritional diet, tokeep that summer bod.

By Charles SercombeHamtramck’s new recy-

cling program is now offi-cially open for business.

On Monday, a ribbon-cutting ceremony washeld at the new drop-offsite, located just east ofConant at 3900 Christo-pher St.

This is the first timethe city has had a perma-nent site – somethingcity officials and commu-nity members havesought for a number ofyears.

Even Hamtramck HighSchool students got in-volved in the cause.

Before this, volunteersran a once-a-month pro-gram out of city parkinglot on Caniff.

The drop-off site is partof a new sanitation con-tract the city awarded toPriority Waste Holdings,which is operatingacross the street fromthe recycling bins.

The drop-off center isopen every day and oper-ates 24 hours a day.

The only downside isthat currently only a lim-ited number of types ofrecycling waste will beaccepted: paper, card-board, and #1 and #2plastics.

For those wishing toget rid of bulk items,these can be dropped offon Saturdays, from noonto 3 p.m.

Still working on thatbeach body? Fitnesscoach has a plan for you

Drivers will begin to see more stop signs popping up throughout town. It’s partof an ongoing effort to curtail speeders and reckless drivers.

Hamtramck native Elizabeth Zaborowski wentthrough a personal transformation to get in shape,and now she provides a service to get others on theroad to healthy living.

ter’s degree at OaklandUniversity in publichealth and epidemiology,while currently holding aBachelor of Science de-gree in physical therapyand exercise sciences.

While both her educa-tion, and her backgroundas an athlete in middleand high school -- specifi-cally volleyball, softballand soccer – are whatkicked off her interest inbiomechanics, it was herown personal struggle toget in shape that kickedoff her fitness journey.

And that journey beganwhen Zaborowski wasnearing the end of herundergraduate schooling.She was struggling get-ting enough sleep, andfelt overweight.

She gained 30 poundsduring her junior year --and developed poor eat-ing habits.

“Anything that you canthink of doing as an aver-age college student fi-nally caught up to me,”Zaborowski said. “I feltout of control, and Ididn’t like that. I felt likea lot of things like school,work, family matters, allof the things in life thatcould bring you downwere bringing me down.

“Those are factors thatI could either make thebest out of, and controlwhat I could control, orjust let it take over. I de-cided to control all of theaspects that I could con-trol.”

To discipline herself,Zaborowski found solacein the world of bodybuild-ing. She competed in herfirst bodybuilding show --the NPC Bikini Open -- inApril 2018.

She took home fifthplace in one competitionand third place in twoothers. By getting intoshape, Zaborowski man-aged to lose a staggering25 pounds. She plans tocompete again on Oct.12.

“As I approached grad-uation, I just became re-ally unhealthy.Bodybuilding was ameans for me to havethat discipline to, essen-

tially, know that I’m incontrol of me, so what-ever I do, it’s not outsidefactors that are affectingme at that point. So, thatlevel of discipline allowedme to show that I’m incontrol,” she said.

Friends, family and co-workers took notice ofZaborowski’s body trans-formation. Many of thembegan asking Zaborowskifor advice and help, soshe created an onlinecoaching plan tailored foreach person.

That inspired her tostart her own fitnesscoaching business: EZCoaching.

EZ Coaching is Eliza-beth Zaborowski’s at-tempt at delivering aneasy, user friendly and af-fordable fitness coachingapp for those who maynot have time to regularlyhit the gym, or don’tknow where to start as abeginner.

The app is one-on-onebetween Zaborowski andher client, with a three-month commitment -- al-though that commitmentcan be extended at anytime, if necessary --where she personallycrafts a training and dietplan created specificallyfor the client to fit theirschedule and lifestyle.

With this app,Zaborowski hopes to notonly help clients fulfilltheir body goals, but alsoto “sustain anything youhave achieved, so thatyou understand how todo it on your own” longafter your training to-gether has ended.

Since she began onlinecoaching, Zaborowskihas coached 13 clientsin total – and now an ad-ditional four since EZCoaching launched.

If one is skeptical thatEZ Coaching is for you,Zaborowski goes throughan application process --followed by a 30-45minute coaching call -- toget to know each client,learn their goals, howcommitted they are tothese goals, and whetherEZ Coaching is truly theright fit for that person, orif whether they need toseek a different alterna-tive.

“If it were unfit forsomeone, I wouldn’t justaccept them to take themoney,” she said.

Since the app is still inits early stages of devel-opment, the best way toinquire about EZ Coach-ing is either by emailingher atezcoachinginfo@gmail, orcontact her through her@elimzab Instagram.

“Soon, there will justbe a landing (website)that I plan to have out,”she said.

“I’m hoping -- and it’s inthe works -- to have aneight-week training pro-gram e-book for anyonethat doesn’t want one-on-one coaching.

“It’d be something youjust purchase and it’syours forever, and you doit on your own time, yourown pace; however youwant to get you whereyou need to be. Hope-fully, that’ll be out by Sep-tember.”

By Charles SercombeA man accused of kid-

napping and raping awoman from Hamtramckwill now spend the restof his life in prison.

Tony Kingsley, 27, ofDetroit, was recentlyfound guilty by a jury inWayne County CircuitCourt of several felonycharges, which also in-cluded torture andarmed robbery.

Last year in August awoman, who was then32 years old, was car-jacked on Holbrook andwas taken to Patton Parkin Detroit, where shewas raped.

Kingsley then left herbehind and drove offwith her car. The car waslater found burned.

The only felony chargeKingsley was not con-victed of is arson.

Kingsley, who has along criminal record, was

sentenced to 92-182years in prison.

Hamtramck PoliceChief Anne Moisepraised her departmentand others for investigat-ing and prosecuting thecase.

“I want to commendthe Hamtramck PoliceDepartment's officersand detectives, theWayne County Prosecu-tor's Office, MichiganState Police and the FBIfor their hard work anddedication to this case,”Moise said.

“But this would nothave been possible with-out the courage of ourvictim, who reported thisheinous crime and wasable to tell about it in apublic courtroom.  I can-not imagine how difficultthis must have been forher.  I commend her forher courage andstrength.”

Detroit man foundguilty in kidnapping,rape case

Another stop sign willbe installed at Casmereand Charest, where Ham-tramck High School is lo-cated.

At last week’s regularcity council meeting, An-gerer said these threestops signs “are just thebeginning of an entirecitywide approach” topedestrian safety.

She also said there

has been a six-monthstudy on where to placestop signs.

“We’re phasing this inreally carefully,” Angerersaid.

The council welcomedthe news.

“This is not a drag-rac-ing community,” saidCouncilmember AnamMiah.

(Editor’s note: “AskUncle Stan” is a semi-weekly column meant totickle your funny bone. Wesuspect the questions andanswers are, ah, purewhimsy.)

Dear Uncle Stan,I moved to Hamtramck

last fall from GrandRapids with my wife.  Oneof the things we noticedwas Hamtramck’s mainstreet isn't named MainStreet like most normalAmerican cities.

Instead, it is namedJoseph Campau. We won-dered who was JosephCampau? Can you help usout Uncle Stan?

Sincerely,Baffled from Grand Rapids

Dear Baffled,Nobody knows who

Joseph Campau was.  Hehas been lost to theages, and some suspecthe was a fictional charac-ter, like some suspectyour Uncle Stan is.

(Fake news, I say.)Interestingly enough,

the Caniff River once ranthrough town, before itwas drained dry 100years ago by bottlers --who then sold the waterto autoworkers.  Itscourse was roughly alongthe route Caniff Ave.takes.

On the south side ofthe river lived old manTrow, who had three

daughters.  One wasquite pretty and wasknown to taunt youngmen with her bare an-kles.  

He also had a plain-looking daughter, and amiddle daughter who wasnot any kind of looking atall.  In fact, it is said abody could skim the uglyoff the river, downstream,after she bathed.

Old Man Trow ownedthe only bridge across theCaniff.  This didn't mattermost of the year when itwas bone dry, but in thespring, the river ran fastand wild.  

He often grumbledabout having to put achair out in the street forfolks to sit upon, but thatdidn’t mean they gotacross his bridge for free.

The old man, now 112years old, resolved hewould retire to Florida,and give the bridge to thefirst man to marry one ofhis daughters.

That man turned out tobe Jim Pulaski, the blindhouse painter.

Jim made repairs to thebridge – despite beingblind -- but it later becameobsolete when the riverdried up.

No one knows exactlywhere the bridge was, butit’s suspected it is wherethe library is now.  Overthe years Trow's Bridgewas slurred into Trow-bridge.

And that, my confusedfriend, is how TrowbridgeStreet got its name.

Ask Uncle Stan …

In Our Opinion

Are 3-D illustrationsat crosswalks a goodidea?

Recently, our City Lifecolumnist, WalterWasacz, wrote about ajoint city and schoolpilot project to havethese innovative de-signs installed at keycrosswalks – especiallythose near schools.

Other cities in theU.S. and Europe havereported positive expe-riences with them as away to slow downspeeding drivers.

Everyone here agreesHamtramck has a prob-lem with speeding andreckless drivers.

But some readers saythe concept doesn’twork and, in fact, willonly lead to accidentsby drivers who are

freaked out that the illu-sion is a real obstacle.

Also, it is argued thatonce drivers get usedto the deception, they’llgo back to their old badhabits.

Others say we needmore enforcement,more cops on theroads. Well, guesswhat? Hiring more copsrequires a massiveamount of money –money the city does nothave.

That’s why we have tomake do with less ex-pensive ways to com-bat speeders.

At the very least, the3-D crosswalks areworth a shot. That’swhy it’s just a pilot pro-gram at this point.

In the meantime, thecity administration is in-

stalling more stopsigns at critical inter-sections – somethingthat should have beendone a long time ago.

Of course, there arecritics of that, as well.Some argue that driv-ers will just ignore thestop signs and runthem.

People do run stopsigns, but in doing sothey risk a hefty trafficfine and points on theirdriving record, whichwill then lead to higherinsurance costs forthem.

There will always benaysayers critical of anyattempt to make im-provements. To thosefolks, we say, get backto us when you havesomething practical tooffer.

Sometimes moving forwardrequires tuning out naysayers

City Hall Insider …City Hall Insider …What is our City Council up to these days? We have the highlights of the latest council meeting.

By Charles SercombeThe city council met on

April 9, and all coun-cilmembers, exceptCouncilmember AbuMusa, were present.

During public comment,Carrie Beth Lasley sug-gested hiring a perma-nent city attorney,instead of contractingout the service as a wayto save money.

An Evaline St. residentcomplained about awashout in his alley. Hesaid water is comingfrom under the pave-ment, and is shifting hisgarage. He said he hascomplained about this tothe city for a couple ofyears, but nothing hasbeen done.

“What does it take toget something done?”the man said.

Councilmember IanPerrotta said he’s “veryupset” the city didn’t fol-low-up.

Robert Zwolak sug-gested the city shouldset aside money to makesure it gets an accuratecount in the upcoming2020 Census. He latercomplained that theDowntown DevelopmentAuthority needs to startspending money on im-provements. He also sug-gested expanding theDDA district, which nowjust entails all of Jos.Campau.

A man said he is havingproblems with city code

inspectors, who keepfinding things that needimprovement at hisrental dwelling.

He said there is a “dou-ble-standard in city hall,”but did not specify whathe meant by that.

City Manager Kathy An-gerer said the city wassuccessful in winning a$293,909 grant from theMichigan Department ofTreasury. The grant willbe used to purchase newradios for police cars.

In a budget update, An-gerer said the city isspending money only onessential items, in orderto curtail deficit spend-ing.

By Charles SercombeSaying you are vaca-

tioning in Detroit usedto be a joke.

But it was no laughingmatter for a group ofabout 20 Indianayouths, who spent aweek here in Ham-tramck doing commu-nity service.

They are part of aBaptist church network,and spent most of theirtime making improve-ments in Veterans Parkunder the guidance ofPastor Jay Searcy ofGrace Baptist Churchon Caniff.
