OMULUS
Annual city clean up begins tomorrow morning
The founder of the annual
Romulus Clean Sweep Day is hop-
ing businesses, church groups, stu-
dents and other residents will get
involved in the annual citywide
cleanup tomorrowmorning.
Mayor Pro-tem LeRoy Burcroff,
who suggested Clean Sweep in
1999, said he hopes the effort this
year is the best yet.
The day begins at 9:30 a.m.
Participants are asked to stop by
the Romulus Senior Center at
36525 Bibbins to select an area of
the city to clean. Trash bags and
gloves will be provided. Volunteers
are asked to bring their own tools if
possible. Some tools will be avail-
able.
Bagels, donuts and coffeewill be
provided at the Senior Center,
courtesy ofWasteManagement.
Fourteen years ago, Burcroff
said a day was needed to bring the
community together for a common
cause. The effort came to fruition
under the late Mayor William
Oakley and continues under cur-
rentMayor AlanLambert.
The day involves volunteers
gathering to clean public places,
including streets, downtown
Romulus, the Civic Center com-
plex, the veterans memorial and
park space. City ordinance officers
provide other locations that need
attention. Flowers are planted in
public areas.
Besides individual residents
and business people, participants
have included civic organizations,
Scouts, members of the Boys and
Girls Clubs of Romulus and
Belleville, church groups, senior
citizens, military veterans, city
employees and others.
School children and employees
are encouraged to clean up their
school grounds. Some residents
prefer to join in cleanup efforts in
their ownneighborhoods.
In addition, members of the
Romulus Cemetery Commission
will lead volunteers in a cleanup of
theRomulusHistorical Cemetery.
This year, organizers moved the
cleanup day from a Saturday to a
Friday with hopes for a spike in
participation. Burcroff said he
hopes local business owners and
their employees will step up and
clean their own property or assist
with larger efforts.
“We would love to get more peo-
ple involved,” he said. “We're hop-
ing for more participation from our
schools, businesses, churches and
people who told us Saturday didn't
work for them. People who get
involved in Clean Sweep show
pride in their community.”
The city council chairman said
he hopes to recognize those that
participate in Clean Sweep pub-
licly at a council meeting in the
days following the cleanupday.
Already stepping up to volun-
teer are employees of the Public
Service Credit Union, who have
challenged other city businesses to
get involved.
“All of us at Public Service
Credit Union take pride in being
positive community leaders,” said
Rob Mercier, vice president of
growth and development. “The
Clean SweepDay event gives a spe-
cial opportunity to show the resi-
dents of Romulus that we care
about their city they call home. We
would like to encourage other
Romulus businesses to show their
support as well by participating in
this citywide cleanup effort.”
Students from Romulus,
Halecreek and Wick elementary
schools are scheduled to clean up
school property and local parks.
“School children who may not
have been born or were babies
when we started this in 1999 are
invited to join us as volunteers,” he
said. “Young people with lots of
energy and a passion for making a
difference bring so much to the
project. Like other participants,
they can take ownership and pride
in a jobwell done.”
Students in need of service for
school will receive certificates. City
photographers will capture the vol-
unteers in action and post photos
on the city Facebook page,
www.facebook.com/cityofromulus.
Rumor has it that Ronald
McDonald may pay a visit to the
volunteers and thank them for
their contributions onClean Sweep
Day.
Burcroff, who has served on the
city council since 1997, encourages
anyone interested in the communi-
ty to visit the Senior Center and get
involved.
“This project really bolsters
pride in the community,” Burcroff
said.
“We have peoplewho care about
our city and want a pleasant com-
munity in which to live and they're
not afraid to volunteer. If you care
about our community and want to
do something positive, come out,
get involved and have a good time
for a great cause.”
Boat show to be ‘dry’
It will be a dry boat show in downtown
Belleville next July.
Members of the Belleville City Council
declined a request to officially endorse the
sale of beer at the boat show, sponsored by
the Central Business Community. Members
of the business group had requested a letter
from the city in support of the sale of beer at
the event.
Council members voted three to two
against the letter. Mayor Pro tem Jack Loria
and Councilman Tom Smith were in favor of
writing the letter in support of beer sales in a
beer tent at the event.
During the discussion of the request, offi-
cials were reminded that the city has an
ordinance prohibiting alcohol in city parks.
The council does not have the authority to
override that law.
Bill Wolters, president of the Central
Business Community, said that the request
was for a beer tent which would be a beer
tent located on the street. The request for the
beer tent was a result of suggestions from
residents during the Taste of Belleville
event. He told the council members that the
business group wanted to start with the
smaller boat show as a trial for larger or
future events.
Councilwoman Kim Tendall was opposed
to the request, nomatter where, she said, the
beer was to be sold. She said she did not see
the need for alcohol at the event and that she
saw no "value added" to the event with beer
sales.
Tindall made the motion on which coun-
cil members voted to not endorse beer sales
at the event.
Fast times
The Belleville Young Life youth program sponsored at 5K Fun Run / Walk Saturday, May 4,
at the Van Buren Park which attracted runners, walkers, and a large cheering section.
Overall winner, Eric Schafer, center, burned up the course with a time of 15.18 minutes.
Winners in the masters division were Cathy Kerrigan, far left, and Leon Wright, fourth from
left. In the adult division Chelsea Joseph, second from right, and Eric Schafer took top hon-
ors and in the teens division Lauren Vail, second from left, and Jacob Roza, far right, were
the winners. Cole Kerrigan, third from left, was the under 12 winner. Sponsors included

Manager Laura Saches (left), Vice President of Growth and Development
Rob Mercier, Romulus Mayor Pro-Tem LeRoy Burcroff, PSCU Events
Coordinator Donna Gdowski, Branch Manager Joumana Mcdad and
receptionist Brandi Reed. Burcroff came up with the idea for Clean
Sweep Day in 1999.
