The Northville Community
Foundation is now accepting
applications for grants to be
awarded this fall. Nonprofit
organizations and programs that
benefit the community are invit-
ed to apply. Grant applications
will be accepted through July 31,
noted foundation Executive
Director JessicaStriegle.
The Northville Community
Foundation is one of more than
700 community foundations
throughout the United States.
Community foundations make it
possible for a wide range of
donors to participate in creating
funds tomeet present and future
needs of the communities in
which they serve, Striegle said.
The Northville Community
Foundation administers nine
investment funds that are desig-
nated for a variety of community
needs. The income from these
invested funds is awarded
through a grant application
process to provide charitable
funding to non-profits classified
by the IRS as 501(c)(3) organiza-
tions and other eligible entities
that benefit residents of the
greater Northville community.
Grants are made in the areas of
education, health, arts, youth,
senior, historical, beautification,
and community benefit, she
explained.
Since 1997 the Northville
Community Foundation has
awarded tens of thousands of
dollars in grants to organiza-
tions. In 2015, grants were
awarded to the Friends of
Maybury State Park, New Hope
Center for Grief Support,
Northville Art House, Northville
High School Band, Northville
Historical Society, Northville
Senior

A primary election Aug. 2 in Northville
will limit the field of seven candidates
seeking four, four-year terms on the town-
ship board of trustees to four Republicans
and oneDemocrat.
The four incumbent trustees, Mindy
Hermann, Symantha Heath, Marvin Gans
and Fred Shadko will face challengers
Daniel Biedzen and Sonia Scappaticci, all
Republicans, and Dr. Ghulam Qadir, who
is aDemocrat. Biedzen is a write-in candi-
date.
Robert Nix is unopposed in his bid to
retain the office of township supervisor
and Marjoire Bann and Sue Hillebrand,
the treasurer and clerk respectively, also
face no competition in the primary elec-
tion.
Biedzen said he was unaware of the fil-
ing deadline, forcing him to campaign as a
write-in candidate. He is employed with
the Wayne County prosecutor's office. He
said his concerns include more accounta-
bility for spending in the township and
more transparency, including access to all
township reports, including those of the
police and fire departments.
Scappaticci, the co-owner of a concrete
company, is a graduate of Michigan State
University. She said that one of her priori-
ties is maintaining the current atmos-
phere and appeal of Northville. She said
her experience with budgets and oversee-
ing projects could be beneficial to the
township. She said that while she is a con-
servative on tax issues but a liberal on
social issues.
Qadir served as chief of psychiatry for
12 years at OakwoodHospital inDearborn
and for another two years at Oakwood
Heritage Hospital in Taylor. He is now a
psychiatrist with Apex Behavioral Health
inDearborn.
He said he is a diversity candidate and
that the make up of the township popula-
tion is changing. He said that he has
served in a number of leadership posi-
tions throughout his career.
