We need to build relationships with developers/builders so that the township can grow fiscally, all the while re-focus our efforts on becoming a more futuristic township by improving our urban center, our recreation center, improved bike paths, public transportation and other 21 century ideas that bring young entrepreneurs to our area. Improve our working and

developing relationship with our neighboring townships and our relationship with the City of Chelsea. The bad blood between the old board and the city need to be mended and the only way to do that is with a new board.

Business was started seven years ago

A new owner has stepped forward for the Garden Mill in place of Trinh Pifer, who has owned the downtown Chelsea business for seven years. On June 29, the Garden Mill was purchased by Jennifer Fairfield, an avid

organic gardener and birder. Trinh Pifer held the grand opening of the Garden Mill, which is next to the Common Grill, seven years ago during Chelseas SummerFest, and the business has grown into a destination with customers coming from as far as Pennsylvania and California. Locals remember the early days of the business when Pifers young daugh-

ters played in the kids area of the store. Last year, Pifer accepted a job offer as director of the Chelsea Senior Center and the store was listed for sale. We were committed to keeping the doors of the Garden Mill open because our customers asked us to preserve the tradition and character that it adds to downtown Chelsea, Pifer said.
