ORTHVILLE

Belleville planner leaves position abruptly

Northville students join ‘Kids Against Hunger’ effort

There is a new economic devel-

opment director in Van Buren

Township, if only on a interim

basis.

According to an announcement

from Township Supervisor Linda

Combs, Arthur F. Mullen will be

named as interim director of the

economic development and plan-

ning office for Van Buren. He will

replace Terry Carroll who

resigned on Feb. 8. No reason for

Carroll's departure was provided

and he remained unavailable for

comment. Carroll served as the

department director since April 6,

2011.

“With the departure of Terry

Carroll as director of planning and

economic development, this town-

ship department requires leader-

ship requiring a notable demand

for public service. While it may

take several months to find the

right person to fill this important

position, it is my recommendation

the board of trustees considers

entering into an agreement for

these services in a temporary or

interim capacity with Mr. Arthur F.

Mullen,” Combs stated in a written

release.

“He (Mullin) was referred to us

by the Michigan Planning

Commission, and we were fortu-

nate he was available to step in

immediately. Mr. Mullen has a sig-

nificant background in matters

pertaining to township government

and planning and economic devel-

opment,” the statement continued.

“Both a former city planner for

Detroit and Executive Director for

theMount Clemens

DDA, he has prior experience

in managing staff, communicating

withdevelopers,

and conducting development

finance

work,

including

CommunityDevelopment Block

Grant projects,” Combs added.

“Mr. Mullen also possesses a

graduate degree, and his past

involvement includes

serving as a board member on

the

Michigan

Downtown

Association (MDA). He is also

certified with the American

Institute of Certified Planners,”

Combs concluded.

Students from Northville and inner-city

Detroit are joining forces to learn more

about world hunger and, most importantly,

do something about it.

The students have joined the Kids

Against Hunger Michigan Coalition

“Michigan Project” and the Gleaners

Community Food Bank Kids Helping Kids

initiative.

Eight food packing events, which got

under way in late-January and will continue

through March, bring together elementary

students fromdifferent experiences and cul-

tures to work and learn side-by-side at

Detroit area landmarks including the Arab

American National Museum in Dearborn

and Gleaners in Detroit, as well as the Jack

Doheny Supplieswarehouse inNorthville.

In addition, students from two of

Northville's larger elementary schools -

Amerman and Ridge Wood - and their

Detroit area partners will also take part in

the Gleaners Kids Helping Kids initiative to

ensure active participation by as many stu-

dents as possible.

Thismarks the eighth yearNorthville and

Detroit students are coming together to pack

food for Kids Against Hunger, as part of a

partnership with local non-profit organiza-

tions such as Bridgepointe, the Plymouth

Kiwanis, the Conrad Charitable Foundation,

Mothers' Club of Northville, and other local

school and community groups.

Local businesses sponsored the

Northville Kids Against Hunger and Kids

Helping Kids events providing more than

$7,000 to purchase the food and packing

materials, cover shipping costs and/or pro-

vide transportation to the packing events.

These sponsors include: Gold Sponsor - Patti

Mullen & Associates, Remerica Hometown

One; Silver Sponsors - Grand Rapids

Building Supply, Inc., and Durham

Transportation Services; Bronze Sponsors -

Clark Hill PLC; TomHolzer Ford, Inc.; Stifel

Nicolaus & Company, Inc. and Wright &

Hunter, Inc.

During the Kids Against Hunger food

packing events, students work together on

an assembly line to measure, weigh and seal

13.8-ounce bags of nutritious rice-soy casse-

role mix that can each feed six adults or 12

children. One-third of the food from each

packing event goes to local food banks to

help those in need in the community, one

third goes to feed the starving in Third

World countries, and one third goes to help

those in the U.S. and worldwide struck by

natural disaster.

“Through experiences like Kids Against

Hunger, students are empowered to make a

difference in their communities and the

world,” said Bridgepointe Co-Founder and

Kids Against Hunger “Michigan Project”

Coordinator Sue Simcox. “Over the years,

staff and students from these suburban and

inner-city schools form friendships of shar-

ing and learning as pen pals, through Kids

Against Hunger, and by visiting each other's

schools. They discover that although their

experiences and cultures may be different,

they still have a lot in common.”

A key partner in the Kids Against Hunger

events, Bridgepointe was founded in 1998 by

Simcox and fellow Northville parent Diane

Powers.
