CEREMONY HONORS REGINA HALL OF FAME INDUCTEES BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com
WARREN — On Sept. 17, when the Regina High School seniors took on Bloomfield Hills Marian in their annual powder puff football game, they played with heavy hearts. Just one month earlier, one of their coaches, William Madek, passed away. They felt his spirit, and won the game. He will never be forgotten. On the evening of June 14, Madek was among those who were inducted into the school’s Hall of Fame. Other inductees were cross-country and track coach Gregg Golden, Class of 1960 graduate Janet Leze, former social studies teacher Michele J. Robertson, and the state championship softball teams from 1989 and 2004. The school opened in 1956 in Harper Woods, and moved to Warren several years ago. The Hall of Fame was created in 2022 with its first inductees. Channel 7 weekend sports anchor JeanSee REGINA on page 12A

WARREN — Mayor James Fouts blasted his adversaries, lauded his accomplishments, spoke about the future of the city and endorsed candidates at his last State of the City address, on June 22 at Andiamo Warren. “The gloves are coming off,” said the mayor in the invitation to the speech. His opponents were unphased and pulled no punches, either. The mayor blasted the Warren City Council, collectively and individually, referring to them as “the dysfunctional, accidental City Council.” City Council President Patrick Green responded to the mayor’s attacks. “Obviously, I disagree with him,” said Green. “This was supposed to be a State of City address talking about everything that has happened over the past couple years.
