Assistant police
chief By DAVE MELCHIOR Ypsilanti Deputy Police Chief William King is leaving at the end of May to become director of public safety at Wayne State University in Detroit.
King, 51, became deputy chief in the city in November 1999. Previous to that he had been with the Michigan State Police, including two years in the mid 1990s as commander of the Ypsilanti Post. He begins his duties at Wayne State on June 10. King praised the city, the Police Department and Chief
George Basar and said he decided to leave Ypsilanti because the Wayne
State job is a "good opportunity."
Heritage Foundation By DAVE MELCHIOR Jack Harris, one of Ypsilanti’s best-known historic preservation activists, will receive recognition from the Ypsilanti Heritage Foundation next week. Harris will receive a special recognition award from the
Ypsilanti Heritage Foundation during the organization’s annual marker
banquet at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 29, in the Ladies’ Literary Club, 218

Council member By DAVE MELCHIOR Ypsilanti City Councilwoman Lois Richardson, D-First Ward, will face incumbent Mayor Cheryl Farmer, an independent, in the November general election. Initially it appeared Richardson would first have to
defeat Charles Williams in the August Democratic primary before facing the
mayor in the general election, but Williams’ name will not appear on the
Democratic primary ballot. |
