Bella Italia, owned by Jim and Katie Millan, recently announced on their Facebook page that they would be ending their business on Sept. 23. The restaurant was opened 11 years ago on 895 Eisenhower Parkway. The post received multiple supportive messages and representatives from the restaurant replied thanking them but expressing that they wanted to make a change. The Millans emphasized that while they loved running the restaurant, it required a lot of time and energy. “My husband Jim and I owned Bella for eleven years. We have a seven year old daughter, and we decided we needed to spend more time together as a family,” Katie Millan wrote in an email. “We would like to thank the community for all their support over the years; it really was a great adventure for Jim and I.” Bella Italia is best known for its “Ann Arbor Pizza Challenge,” promising a free 30-inch pizza to any group of three people who can finish the dish within 30 minutes. Rules stipulate that the pizza must be finished and in the players’ stomachs. Pizza Pino shut down without warning, the exact date unknown but was reported by MLive this morning, with a note reading “closed” popping up on the front door of the Ann Arbor establishment at 221 W Liberty St. Calls to the restaurant went unanswered and its social media pages remain silent, leaving residents wondering if the restaurant is closed for good. The joint is not facing any suspensions related to safety or health concerns, and its LLC license is still active. Pizza Pino was known for its deep-dish pizzas and variety of specialty choices. -MAYA GOLDMAN ON THE DAILY: NO MORE DOUGH people that live in poorer areas, people that live close to rivers.” According to Fossas, his family and some close friends have all congregated in his home as a temporary solution to the long-term process of restabilization. It has been said regaining electricity throughout the country may take up to six months. Fossas has not asked for any extra support in the form of classes off, but he said that he has no doubt the University of Michigan community would provide support in such an instance. “People here are very understanding. A friend of mine, a fellow Puerto Rican, has been reached out to by professors who asked him if he needs help,” he said. “Students have been really helpful too, anyone who knows that I’m from Puerto Rico has asked me if my family is OK, if everything is good.” Fossas expressed his frustration with the lack of representation of Puerto Rico in U.S. politics as well as media coverage, claiming they are stuck in a political and economic middle-ground, and are not treated equally as citizens. “‘We belong to the U.S., but we are not part of the U.S.’ … that’s a rough translation of a quote I’ve heard,” he said. “It basically means that, yeah, if you say Puerto Rico, some people know it’s part of the U.S. and some people don’t … and some people don’t even recognize us as legitimate Americans.” According to Fossas, the main challenge Puerto Ricans must face to gain support is the lack of representation in media outlets. He compared the nearly 24-hour news coverage of Hurricane Harvey to the far lesser coverage of Maria in Puerto Rico. “Trump supposedly declared us in a state of emergency, but nothing has been done yet,” he said. “We’re barely getting any federal aid. He tweeted a couple times, but how many tweets about football players and Kaepernick and Curry? It’s all been about that; it’s so frustrating. That is something so inconsequential, while there’s 3.5 million American citizens suffering back in Puerto Rico.” Students at the University have gathered together in various ways to fundraise for Puerto Rico and provide support to the Puerto Rican student population. Engineering freshman Natalia Sanchez is a Puerto Rican student who began her own initiative. After hearing the devastating news about the hurricane, she began to brainstorm ideas for fundraising, and found one that stuck: selling T-shirts. Her project raised $1,000 in the first four days, and she has gained support from the directors of her living-learning community, the Michigan Community Scholars Program. “I’m honestly just glad that what I’m doing is having a positive outcome,” she said. “I’m pretty sure that you can ask any other Puerto Rican who isn’t living in the island right now how they’re feeling, and they’ll tell you that it’s just so distressing. That it just doesn’t feel real. That, no matter what, they’ll do anything to help.” On a national level, the GoFundMe Students with Puerto Rico has been created, which is bringing together the fundraising efforts of more than 100 universities around the United States, including the University of Michigan. The proceeds are to go directly to Unidos por Puerto Rico, an initiative enacted by Puerto Rico’s first lady, Beatriz Roselló, in collaboration with private companies. It was initially proposed after Hurricane Irma and has expanded after Hurricane Maria’s occurrence. LSA senior Amanda Santiago has extended family living in Puerto Rico, and has extended family living in Puerto Rico. Though she was able to contact them two days ago, she is still worried for other students’ families. “A lot of my friends still don’t have family members that they’ve heard from,” she said.
