Rachelle Vartanian always
considered herself a good
teacher.
She spent the first two
decades of her educational
career helping children with
learning disabilities and special
needs, particularly those with
emotional impairments, as an
educator in the public school sys-
tem, working with elementary,
middle andhigh school students.
It was during this time that
her son was diagnosed with
AutismSpectrumDisorder.
“I always tell people, I was a
good teacher before, but I
became a different kind of
teacher when I had a child with
special needs.”
Vartanian, a Northville resi-
dent, subsequently opened
Living & Learning in downtown
Northville, an enrichment center
that provides services for youth,
teens and young adults who
struggle socially, academically
and emotionally in reaching
their full potential.
“A few years ago, I could not
find any programs to enrich my
son's life nearmy home. Imade it
my mission to create my own. I
rented a roomat the local library
and met with a small group of
kids once a week. Eventually, I
was turning families away
because I didn't have the room.
During this time, after working
for 20 years as special ed teacher
I was able to take an early retire-
ment and decided to take a leap
of faith and open up Living &
Learning,” Vartanian said.
Special needs children, teens
and young adults can benefit
from programs offered at Living
& Learning in downtown
Northville. Social groups are
forming for all ages and the cen-
ter offers one-on-one or group,
music therapy classes and art
therapy classes, not to mention
“rock band”, tutoring, teen nights
with video games andpizza. This
enrichment center provides
services, for youth, teens and
young adults, who struggle
socially, academically and emo-
tionally in reaching their full
potential.
Vartanian said the mission
statement of the new center
embodies her philosophy of
helping young people.
“Our children's disability does
not define who they are or what
they have the potential to
become,” she said.
“At Living & Learning we are
on a mission to assist all people
in reaching their own personal
best. We understand that your
child is a person first (and not a
label). Your child has specific
strengths and weaknesses that
are unique and make them who
they are. We believe in order to
increase “desirable qualities”
and “enrich one's life” it can only
be done by knowing your child
first as that individual. If we do
not believe we can appropriately
provide researched-based, best
practice methodologies for your
childwewill assist you in finding
the right programs or centers
that will,” Vartanian said.
Vartanian earned her under-
graduate degree from Eastern
Michigan University in Teaching
for the Emotionally Impaired.
She also has a master's degree in
Educational Psychology with a
concentration in Personality and
Development.
Following her son's diagnosis,
Vartanian returned to graduate
school where she earned a sec-
ond master's degree in Autism
SpecturmDisorders.
“As with my emotionally
impaired students, I knew the
only way I could understand my
own son's needs and enforce real
change was to learn and keep
learning everything I could
about Autism Spectrum
Disorders,” she said.
Vartanian said that social
groups and summer camps are
now being formed at Living &
Learning and therapy in art,
speech and music is available. A
rock band class for young adults
is forming and tutoring and other
therapies and groups are avail-
able.
Living & Leaning is located at
150 Mary Alexander Court and
Vartanian said she is also seek-
ing high school students to serve
as volunteer mentors with spe-
cial needs clients. She said that
training for the volunteers is pro-
vided at the center.
Our children's disability
does not define who they are
or what they have the potential to become.

Center offers help for struggling students
Inside/Out exhibit
coming to Belleville
Changes discussed to township and city fire service
The Detroit Institute of Arts
has
selected
downtown
Belleville as part of the
Inside/Out exhibit next year.
Rosemary Loria, chairman of
the Downtown Development
Authority, told the members of
the group during a meeting last
month that a letter had been
received from the art museum
announcing Belleville as one of
the exhibitors for 2016. The art
institute will install weather-
proof copies of several master-
pieces throughout downtown
Belleville and several sculptures,
four over the bridge in Van
BurenTownship.
Seven framed artworks will
comprise the exhibit and will be
withinwalking or biking distance
of each other to form a "grand,
open-air gallery."
The exhibit will be a partner-
ship with the Van Buren
Township
Downtown
Development Authority, allowing
room for the minimum eight
sculptures. The township is con-
sidering adding more sculptures
to the display in addition to the
two slated for northof the bridge.
The addition would classify
Belleville as a mid-size display
which will cost Belleville an esti-
mated $12,000 to $13,000 to lease
the sculptures for a year.
The new display will be erect-
ed when the current sculptures
are removed in June.
Sing out loud
The Hillside Middle School Ensemble extracurricular choir was rated Excellent at the Michigan
School Vocal Music Association district festival at Monroe Middle School Jan. 30 when several hun-
dred middle school performers from throughout southeast Michigan and their families attended the
competition. The Northville 8th graders practice twice a week before school with vocal teacher
Vickie Kopistiansky, who volunteers her time to coach the choir. The Northville group was awarded
blue ribbons at the event.
Changes to the way Northville
Fire Department handles emer-
gent ambulance service are being
considered and have been con-
firmed by Northville Township
Public Safety Director John
Werth.
The topic was discussed at the
Fire Advisory Board Meeting in
Plymouth Monday. Plymouth and
Northville have a joint fire servic-
es agreement that shares the City
of Northville 50-man, on-call fire-
fighter crew, even though the two
communities are not contiguous.
Neither Northville Township nor
Plymouth Township participates
in the Fire Advisory Board meet-
ings.
Werth said that with major
road construction work scheduled
this year for I-275 and Six Mile
Road-the location of the only fire
station in Northville Township,
officials have offered options to
Northville Mayor Ken Roth to
alleviate their concerns about
long response times, especially
during rushhour traffic periods.
Werth said they havemade var-
ious proposals to Northville “for
almost 2 years,” and to date have
not had any confirmation as to
acceptability until now when city
officials formally questioned their
response times.
One proposal was to locate a
Northville Township Advance
Life Support (ALS) ambulance
unit at the Main andWing fire sta-
tion in the city for priority-one
calls. The move would allow the
city fire department to eliminate
calling Community EMS, a private
ambulance company located at 11
Mile and Novi Road, for those pri-
ority calls. If the proposal is
adopted, Northville Township
would bill patients directly as
opposed to Community EMS.
Werth said the cost to provide the
service to the city would be negat-
ed by the revenue from the
patients.
Community EMS bills resi-
dents and patients $750 for priori-
ty-one ALS runs, plus $12.50 per
mile and a $40 oxygen charge, if
required.
Colleen Pobur, chair of the Fire
Advisory Board, questioned
Northville Fire Chief Steve Ott
about a possible partnership at
the board meeting. Roth respond-
ed saying only, “We've been
approached, an offer was made
andwe're looking at it.”
“The additional run-volume
(for Northville city) will not put a
strain on our response times…this
is a first step.”Werth said.
Werth said the Northville
Township Fire Department
response times are less than 8.0
minutes 87 percent of the time.
Werth
said
Northville
Township was also in talks with
Plymouth Township officials to
rent space and park an ambu-
lance and fire engine at the long-
shuttered Station 2 for six months
during the construction time. The
station located on Wilcox Road
was built to serve the 800 homes
in the Lake Pointe subdivision
because of the numerous railroad
crossings.
