DISPL AY
Local pizzarias Bella Italia and 

Pizza Pino are closing after years of 
serving Ann Arbor residents.

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.

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.
