CHECK OUT THE NEW MSU STYLES IN FOR SPRING!

Wintry conditions were not enough to keep East Lansing residents from showing up in a crowd of hundreds to Whole Foods Market’s Party for the Planet event on Saturday at the parking lot of the newly constructed Whole Foods Market.

Whole Foods Market, slated to open on April 13 at 2750 E. Grand River Ave., held the gathering of more than 20 local Michigan vendors and charities.

“This is definitely one of our larger events,” Allison Phelps, a public relations specialist at Whole Foods Market, said. “We posted online on our social channels about the Party for the Plant and within an hour or two, the shares and the likes and the people already planning on coming were at like 500. The response was incredible.”

Under a maze of white tents, vendors from all over Michigan provided free samples of their products including everything from coffee to varieties of popcorn and pie to craft beers.

Many of the vendors held the same values Whole Foods Market has tried to project.

“We love what they stand for,” Samantha Glueck, an event ambassador for Vander Mill, a cider brewery in Michigan. “We’ve been partners with Whole foods for a long time and we’re in all Whole Foods in Chicago.”

Other area charities showed up for the event as well.

“We’re all about good health and Whole Foods is to so we wanted to collaborate with them on joining the community,” Sparrow Foundation’s Women Working Wonders and Clean Water Action volunteer Lisa Hildorf said.

Sparrow’s W3 is a foundation involved with support for women’s physical and psychological health.

In addition, employees from the Greater Lansing Food Bank were on site. Resources manager for the food bank Todd Powell said the bank will be salvaging leftover and outdated foods that are still usable for the food bank’s recipients.

The event seemed to provide a good time for residents to get to know the local connec-

tion as Whole Foods and the vendors tried to integrate into the community.

“I thought it would be cool to come out and check out the Whole Foods opening,” Mason resident Kaitlyn Casulli said.

“I like to go there and get some fresh stuff.” Adding as well that she was a customer of Whole Foods back in her native North Carolina.

“We’re all about good health and Whole Foods is too so we wanted to collaborate with them on joining the community.”

Lisa Hildorf, Sparrow Foundation’s Women Working Wonders volunteer

For vendors it was another chance to be up front and center with community and market their products that will hit the shelves come April 13.

“We’re in five of their stores in Michigan now and they invited us to participate,” Mark Sarafa, owner of PopDaddy Popcorn said. “We’re fortunate to be in there stores here in East Lansing.”

PopDaddy offers a variety of flavors of popcorn from red corn they grow and pop in Michigan.

“The response was incredible,” Phelps said of the vendors. “The were just so excited, they said tell us when where, we don’t care about the weather, we’re just happy to meet people and tell them about the products that are going to be in the store.”

Following interviews with three law firms on March 31 at a special meeting, East Lansing City Council unanimously voted to renew its contract with current City Attorney Thomas Yeadon.

Yeadon, who has served East Lansing at his post since 2012, was set to have his contract expire on June 30. In February, the council sent out 15 SEE STATENEWS.COM invites to firms in the Lansing area and beyond seeking an application for the position.

The city received eight applications for the position but narrowed down the decision to three “Everyone is down on the O-line firms. The three law firms contending for the position were McGinty, Hitch, Housefield, Person, not really knowing what to Yeadon and Anderson P.C. law firm, the law firm expect, but our supposedly of Secrest, Wardle, Lynch, Hampton, Truex and below average O-line was Morley, and the Thrun Law Firm, P.C. “For the interview, we developed a comprehenmoving the ball on supposedly a sive set of questions about legal issues relevant to pretty good defense.” the City, some based on community input, and asked the same questions of each firm,” councilmember Erik Altmann said.

Ultimately, the council’s vote approved the city Brian Allen, freshman offensive lineman, to enter contract negotiations with Yeadon. Terms on MSU football’s offensive line making strides for the contract have not been made available yet See statenews.com as renewal negotiations between Yeadon, Mayor Mark Meadows and Mayor Pro Tem Ruth Beier.

“All three firms were impressive, but in the end, Mr. Yeadon’s track record prevailed,” Alt-

mann said.

According to the Lansing State Journal, Yeadon and his firm sent a payment proposal of a $520,530 flat fee. A proposal by Secrest, Wardle, Lynch, Hampton, Truex and Morley, was unavailable to The State News on Friday, but Thrun Law firm stated in its proposal that it wanted to avoid up front costs and have a “pay as you go” agreement.

The law firm McGinity, Hitch, Housefield, Person, Yeadon and Anderson has serviced the city with an attorney since 1973, when Dennis McGinty was appointed, and served until he retired in 2012.

The law firm only employs 10 attorneys, but was given the highest rating given by Martindale Hubbell, a catalog and marketing tool for lawyers across the country, according to its website.

The website for the firm lists the cities of Mason, Charlotte, Wheatfield Township and Birch Run, among others, as clients.

The law firm also boasts a long history of dealing with municipalities’ legal issues.

“We have established a reputation in the legal community as leading experts in the areas of municipal law and workers’ compensation law,” the law firm wrote on its website.

“Our municipal and workers’ compensation departments continue to achieve great success on behalf of our clients while establishing new precedents in Michigan law.”
