Klinefelt, Hall-Rayford prevail in Eastpointe mayoral primary EASTPOINTE — After the results of the August primary, Eastpointe voters will elect a new mayor in the general election this November.

Candidates Michael Klinefelt and

Mary Hall-Rayford received the two largest vote totals and advanced to face each other in the Nov. 7 general election. The results eliminated Eastpointe’s current mayor, Monique Owens, who finished third, and Councilwoman Stacy CobbMuñiz, who finished fourth in the fourcandidate primary.

“I’m happy to get through the primary,” Klinefelt said.

Klinefelt, 35, received 2,149 votes, which equaled 57.2% of the total votes cast. He has resided in Eastpointe for 30 years and previously served on the Eastpointe City Council from 2015 to 2019.

s Elvis Presley fans gathered Aug. 16 in Memphis to honor the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll on the 46th anniversary of his death, a group of local residents also recently remembered him.

On Aug. 8, about 30 senior citizens gathered at the Recreational Authority of Roseville and Eastpointe’s Senior Center to participate in an Elvis Presley-themed summer day camp from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

After the group of mostly women and a few men bonded over breakfast, the aura of Presley took over. The event gave attendees a chance to remember the music idol known for his swiveling hips, pompadour hairstyle and distinctive voice that See ELVIS on page 6A

South Macomb County FOOTBALL PREVIEW

BY JONATHAN SZCZEPANIAK jszczepaniak@candgnews.com

MACOMB COUNTY — As summer workouts come to a close, southern Macomb County readies for another exciting football season. Here are previews for all teams in the C & G Newspapers coverage area.

Eastpointe

Last season’s record: 0-9.

League: Macomb Area Conference Gold Division.

First game: at Dearborn Heights Crestwood, 7 p.m. Aug 25.

There’s only room for improvement for the Shamrocks, and they’re looking to show a lot of it this season behind an array of offensive weapons.

Senior quarterback Donavan Phillips will command the offense this season with an abundance of wide receiver help in senior Rickey Crudup, senior Tyler Wiley Jones, junior Jajuan Stewart and sophomore Terron Bush.

Only his first year on varsity, Eastpointe coach Donavon Hall said Phillips is poised for a breakout season under center.

“He’s got all the tools man,” Hall said.

“He can make every throw and make every read. He’s just that kind of kid. I think he’s going to be awesome for us.”

Senior RB/MLB Jordan Brooks will be

a key impact player this season while junior Dreshawn Morris is expected to anchor the defensive line.

Roseville

FULL BAR! Come In & Enjoy A Cocktail!

Last season’s record: 8-3.

League: Macomb Area Conference White Division.

First game: at Bloomfield Hills Brother Rice High (at Lawrence Technological University), 7 p.m. Aug 24.

Earning a third straight playoff appearance for the first time since 2011, coach Vernard Snowden has his guys playing inspired football.

Roseville will have a massive void to fill with the departure of WR/CB Amare Snowden to the University of Wisconsin, but there’s still a healthy amount of talent returning to make another run at the playoffs.

Senior running back BJ Weathersby and junior wide receiver Eric Slater will look to lead the offensive unit while seniors Huston Eubank (LB), Corey Cobb Jr. (LB), Anthony Scott (LB), and Elijah Parker (DB) and juniors Desmond Straughton (DB) and Mike Chude (DL) will anchor the defense.

Senior offensive lineman and all-region honoree William Woodard will lead the offensive line.

St. Clair Shores Lakeview

Last season’s record: 7-4.

Eastpointe Community Schools bond proposal passes

BY MARIA ALLARD

allard@candgnews.com

EASTPOINTE — Building updates throughout Eastpointe Community Schools are in the district’s future.

During the primary election Aug. 8, the district’s school building and site bond pro-

posal was approved by the voting majority.

According to the official results from the Macomb County Clerk’s Office, there were 2,127 “yes” votes and 1,499 “no” votes.

School officials placed the $36.4 million bond proposal on the ballot to generate funding to pay for improvements to school facilities across the district. The bond pro-

posal is part one of an overall plan to address student needs at every grade level. The $36.4 million bond is replacing maturing bond debt. According to school officials, the bond issue will extend the current tax rate for the entirety of the bond and will not require any tax rate increase to complete the projects.

“On behalf of the Board of Education,

I thank the Eastpointe Community Schools’ voters. In the coming months, we will keep the community informed as we move forward with the bond proposal projects,” Superintendent Christina Gibson said in a prepared statement. “We are so excited to get started and share our progress.

LOCAL RETAILER GETS READY FOR BACK-TO-SCHOOL BASH

BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com

METRO DETROIT — Motor City Pawn Brokers employees are getting ready to host one of their favorite events of the year.

Team members will hold their third annual Back-to-School Bash on Aug. 26 at all five of their locations. There are 1,200 backpacks in total — 250 per store — and they will be given away on a first-come, first-served basis.

The event at the Roseville location will begin at 10 a.m. and at 9 a.m. at the Detroit, Hamtramck, Warren and Ferndale locations. All locations close at 5 p.m.

“It’s a great event for the family,” Motor City Pawn Broker President Mark Aubrey said. “It’s just a lot of fun. It makes us feel good.”

That’s because it’s the pawn shop staff members who purchase all the back-to-school supplies on their own. The backpacks will include a variety of school supplies, including notebooks, pens, pencils, erasers and rulers.

Along with the school items, several random backpacks will have golden tickets filled with gift cards to restaurants, grocery stores, gas stations and other spots, including Dino Dayze at Blake’s Orchard and Cider Mill.

At each Back-to-School Bash, employees will provide free food and beverages. Attendees will have an opportunity to play See SCHOOL on page 11A

Man facing charges for allegedly shooting his brother at Eastpointe family reunion

BY BRIAN WELLS bwells@candgnews.com

EASTPOINTE — A St. Clair Shores man is facing charges for allegedly shooting his brother at a family reunion in Eastpointe.

On Saturday, Aug. 12, Kevin Jones, 48, allegedly confronted his brother at a family reunion being held at Kennedy Park in Eastpointe. In the parking lot, he allegedly shot his brother multiple times in the chest, according to a press release from the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office.

The victim survived, the press release states.

Jones was arraigned Aug. 15 in the 38th District Court in Eastpointe.

Jones is facing charges of assault with intent to murder, a life felony; felon in possession of a firearm, felon in possession of ammunition and carrying a concealed weapon, each a five-year felony; and three counts of felony firearm Jones second offense, which carries a five-year mandatory sentence on each count.

“These serious charges serve as a stark reminder that even at family gatherings, gun violence can forever alter lives,” Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido said in a press release.

At press time, Jones was being held in the Macomb County Jail on a $1 million cash or surety bond. If released, he is to have no contact with the victim or his family, possess no firearms or illegal drugs, and he is not allowed to leave the state.

A probable cause hearing is scheduled for 8 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 29, with a preliminary exam scheduled for 8 a.m. Friday, Sept. 15. At press time, he did not have an attorney listed.

belted out many hits, including “Suspicious Minds” and “Heartbreak Hotel.” Presley died Aug. 16, 1977, at age 42.

There was time to take photos with a cardboard cutout of the “Hound Dog” in his famous gold lamé suit. The seniors also wore backstage passes, received sunglasses reminiscent of the “Big Hunk O’ Love” and made night lights featuring the Mississippi native’s silhouette.

The senior center held three summer camps in 2023. In June, it was a picnic theme, and in July, the camp was dedicated to all things beachy. This month, it was all about the King. Mary Grant, senior center director, began holding the summer camps three years ago.

“We thought Elvis would appeal to the seniors,” said Grant, who along with staff members Kim Steele and Al Keown got into the groove of the day by wearing Presley Tshirts.

As music from Presley played overhead, there was trivia, and the seniors were “All Shook Up” winning prizes playing bingo.

However, instead of yelling “bingo” when they won a round, they blurted out “Elvis.”

The tables were decorated with Presley albums, and photos of the superstar adorned the windows. Grant found everything at the local record shop Blast In the Past. Paying homage to the singer’s Southern roots, the attendees enjoyed lunch from Lazybones Smokehouse in Roseville.

“I grew up with Elvis. My mother had to have Elvis on all the time. She even called him ‘Elvis the Pelvis,’” said Linda Tomasin, 71, of Roseville. “You had to admit he was kind of a little hunk.”

“Jailhouse Rock” is Tomasin’s favorite Presley song.

“That’s got a good beat,” she said. “All of his songs are good.”

Tomasin still remembers the day the music icon died.

“That was so traumatic,” she said.

Over at another table, 72-year-old Charlotte Brown talked about her memories of Presley.

“I loved Elvis. I grew up on Elvis, the movies, his white bell-bottom outfit and his gospel,” Brown said. “He was a good person.”

For Brown, the music man gave her an outlet.

“I grew up in the Jeffries Projects (in Detroit). It was kind of rough over there,” she said. “There was a lot of violence and other things. Elvis, that was my escape. I still listen to him and feel his spirit.”

Sisters Kathy Bledsoe, 67, and Cindie Bledsoe, 66, dressed in style by wearing their Presley T-shirts to the summer camp.

“We really love Elvis, the songs, the dancing, the movies throughout our childhood,” Cindie Bledsoe said. “There was a frenzy about him. He was so charismatic.

He was really attractive. He was the modern thing.”

“He had so many hit songs. …‘Jailhouse Rock,’” Kathy Bledsoe said. “I love his movies, too.”

Cindie Bledsoe recalled a friend’s wedding, which had an Elvis Presley impersonator as the entertainment.

“Everyone knew the songs,” she said. “It didn’t matter the age difference.”

Sitting next to the Bledsoes was Nancy Collins, of Roseville, who donned an Elvis Presley Fan Club button for the occasion.

“It is from the original fan club. An old flame gave it to me,” Collins said. “He would always send away for things. He knew how much I loved Elvis, his look and his singing.”

Collins is such a fan of Presely that she and several family members drove to Las Vegas to see him in concert at the MGM Grand.

“There were five of us,” she said. “I have never been so cramped up in a car.”

But it was worth it.

“We sat about three rows back. An excellent show,” Collins said. “I have never seen a more beautiful man in my life.”

Collins’ appreciation for Presley was passed down to one of her daughters, who

During the morning, Harrison Township resident Johnny Lang stopped by to talk about his friendship with Presley. The two served in the U.S. Army together from 1958 to 1960 in Germany.

Football

James Brown (Sr.) and senior defensive lineman Keith Reeves are expected to anchor the defense.

First game: vs. Warren Woods Tower High, 7 p.m. Aug. 24.

Lakeview’s five straight playoff appearances are already historic for the football program, but now Lakeview is looking to take the next step when they reach the playoffs.

It’ll be a difficult task this season after Lakeview graduated a large amount of its offense — 31 of the team’s 33 touchdowns last season to be exact — but coach Pat Threet said the team’s culture speaks for itself with the new players stepping up.

“We’ve got a recipe for success and it’s not about the offense or defense we run,” Threet said. “My belief is faith, family and football. We talk to our coaches about leading these guys the way you’d lead your own son. Make them accountable, be tough on them, but show them love. That’s really what we’re about, and I think that’s really helped us have a great culture.”

On the offensive end, junior Bobby Clark II (OL), senior Malik Mason (OL) and sophomore John Kline (OL) lead the offensive line while senior Gary Winston (RB/ MLB), junior Aidan Daniels (RB/TE) and junior Eric Simmons lead the running back corps.

Defensively, Lakeview is expected to be strong once again after earning four shutout wins in 2022 and allowing just over 19 points per game.

Senior David Osagiede (DE), senior Tucker Weddle (LB), senior Keonte Woolf (DB), senior Corion Lattimore (DB) and junior Terrell McCurdy lead the Huskies’ defensive unit.

St. Clair Shores South Lake

from page 2A

St. Clair Shores Lake Shore

Last season’s record: 4-5.

League: Macomb Area Conference Gold Division.

First game: at Sault Ste. Marie, 7 p.m. Aug. 25.

Building off a near winning season in 2022, Lake Shore is looking to rely on its returning players to lead the way this season.

Junior quarterback Jordan Alston will command the huddle this season with junior Ja’Sean Dean (WR) and junior James Taylor Jr. (TE) leading the pass-catching group.

Alston, who started last year as a sophomore, is looking to progress after an efficient year last season.

“He’s a pure pocket passer,” Lake Shore coach Marcus Cribbs said. “Last year, he had some growing pains, but he’s been coming along really well.”

Returning all-region defensive lineman

Last season’s record: 6-4.

League: Macomb Area Conference Silver Division.

First game: vs. Macomb Lutheran North, 7 p.m. Aug. 24.

Having extended its playoff appearance streak to three, South Lake appears to be in a groove on the offensive side of the ball, and the team is hoping that the defense follows suit in 2023.

In 2022, South Lake averaged just over 30 points per game while allowing just under 25 points per game.

The Cavaliers will have an early test this season when they match up against Lutheran North in the opener. Lutheran North took South Lake to the wire last season in a 46-40 thriller that South Lake won.

Center Line

Last season’s record: 6-3.

League: Macomb Area Conference Bronze Division.

First game: vs. Melvindale High, 7 p.m.

Aug. 24.

Taking a major step in the right direction, Center Line football is playing with confidence as it heads into the 2023 season.

The Panthers will hand the offensive keys to four-year varsity quarterback Ian Klekotka this season as the offensive unit looks to continue its success from last year.

Center Line coach Ajani Ali said Klekotka’s knowledge of the game has him poised for a successful season.

“He knows how to facilitate the offense — he knows where to put the ball at and just how to operate everything,” Ali said.

Junior wide receiver Elijah Williford will be Klekotka’s No. 1 target this season while sophomore linebacker Avery Taylor and junior defensive lineman David Smith will lead the defensive unit.

Grosse Pointe North

Last season’s record: 8-2.

League: Macomb Area Conference Gold Division.

First game: at Clinton Township Clintondale High, 7 p.m. Aug. 24.

Similar to the six-year stretch of winning seasons from 2012 to 2017, North appears to be building a foundation for sustainable success, but it’ll be up to the senior class to continue in that direction.

“They know that the bulk of the season rides on their back, and they know that they have to bring the younger guys up to speed,” See FOOTBALL on page 12A

Your Hometown Family Physician Brian Wood, D.O. Dr. Wood recently returned to his Warren hometown and is now accepting new patients at Cornerstone Roseville Family Practice.

“I grew up two blocks from here,” said the Brian Wood, D.O. 2003 graduate of Warren Woods Tower High School. “So, I understand the personality of the local people, and I feel this area needs a young doctor like myself who is going to stick around for the long haul. Family practice is the only specialty where you can treat people of all ages, from birth through geriatrics, get to know entire families and, essentially, become a fixture of the community.”

Dr. Wood, who is also a staff physician at Ascension Macomb-Oakland and Beaumont hospitals, offers a broad spectrum of medical care including preventative medicine, primary care, immunizations, pap smears and management of chronic illnesses. The scope of care at the practice also includes minor office procedures including lesion, mole and skin tag removal, excisional biopsies, joint injection, stitches, minor injury treatments, EKGs, high blood pressure management, Medicare wellness visits and electronic prescribing services. As a doctor of osteopathic manipulative medicine, Dr. Wood also provides muscle and skeletal manipulation to help with ailments such as low back pain, migraines and musculoskeletal disorders.

“The way I practice medicine is a little bit different,” he said. “My goal is to treat the whole patient, so I try to set aside enough time to manage all of their concerns at each and every visit.”

Dr. Wood books his appointments in 20- to 30-minute increments to allow himself enough time to get an understanding of how a patient’s medical problems are affecting their interpersonal relationships, work-life balance and family life.

Treatment for mental health (e.g., depression, anxiety, sleeping disorders and other issues) as well as endocrine disorders (e.g., thyroid disease and diabetes), heart disease, COPD, smoking cessation, obesity and weight management counseling is also provided.

Cornerstone has early morning appointments and late appointments on Thursdays. “We also offer telehealth appointments, which are useful for people who might want to hop on a call during their lunch break instead of taking time off work,” he said.

Dr. Wood enjoys getting to know his patients, seeing their faces, hearing about their lives, and sharing stories about his own family. “I hope to be taking care of my patients for 25 to 30 years, utilizing my knowledge in medicine to keep them healthy and living fulfilled lives,” he said.

Cornerstone Roseville Family Practice is located at 28295 Schoenherr Road, Suite C, in Warren.

MCC opens Skilled Trades and Advanced Technology Center

BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com

WARREN — Several days before the Macomb Community College 2023 fall semester began, officials unveiled the new Skilled Trades and Advanced Technology Center on the college’s South Campus.

On Aug. 11, about 200 people gathered for the grand opening of the $45 million, 130,000-square-foot facility, located in the former R, S and T buildings. The center will offer programs designed to prepare students for high-demand careers in advanced manufacturing, technology and the skilled trades. The new center optimizes the environmental infrastructure for teaching and learning that embodies the current impact of Industry 4.0, or smart manufacturing processes that make up the fourth industrial revolution.

“While there is an already acute demand for highly skilled employees in manufacturing, technology and the skilled trades, job openings in these sectors are expected to continue to increase,” a college press re-

lease stated. “In Macomb County over the next five years, anticipated growth spans a minimum of 1% for automated systems and robotics to 14% for 3-D modeling and design technology, with median annual earnings ranging from the mid $40,000 to low $80,000.”

A number of programs will be housed in the building including apprenticeships, computerized numerical control machining, drafting, computer-aided design, electronics and fluid power technology. Land surveying, media and communication arts, mechatronics, product development, robotics and welding also will be available.

The classrooms and lab spaces inside the new center are located near each other to mimic modern industry. The classrooms were built to encourage gathering and engagement among the students. The building also reflects current industrial settings where poorly lit, closed-in areas have been replaced by bright spaces with windows and natural light.

interactive games to win prizes.

This year, members of the Harper Woods High School varsity football team volunteered their time to organize and stuff the backpacks.

“This kind of kicks off the season for us. We were recipients in the back-to-school drive the last two years,” Coach Rod Oden said. “We thought it would be a great idea to offer our assistance. The Detroit location is less than a mile from our school.”

On Aug. 18, the athletes were scheduled to take inventory of all the school supplies and then fill the items into each backpack.

“We’ll then move them to the Eight Mile location,” Oden said.

The school has both a varsity and junior varsity team. The players have been practicing for the season and just returned from camp.

Oden said the football players are required to perform 100 hours of community service each school year, so they participate in various volunteer activities. He added that many of the students are in the National Honor Society.

“So many people have done so many

things for us, and we’re trying to show them it’s better to give than receive,” Oden said.

The Back-to-School Bash is just one of many ways Motor City Pawn Brokers gives back to the community. For the entire month of May, staff members throughout the company sold paper cowboy hat and boot cutouts to raise $2,500 for Camp Casey.

Camp Casey, based in Farmington Hills, is a nonprofit organization that provides horseback riding programs to children who have cancer, rare blood disorders and other life-threatening illnesses.

The money that Motor City Pawn Brokers collected was donated to Camp Casey’s “Horsey House Calls.” Through the program, Camp Casey provides a “horse camp” to the homes of children who are too ill to attend regular summer camp.

Representatives bring a horse to the family’s home for a horse grooming and safety lesson, individual horseback rides, teambuilding games, arts and crafts, hand-made horse treats, and a pizza party.

Visit camp-casey.org for more information on Camp Casey.

North coach Joe Drouin said. “We got some really good seniors that are more nurturing with their leadership. They know that the younger guys are their legacy.”

Senior quarterback Ryan Henderson will command the offensive unit with an abundance of weapons in junior wide receivers Leo Perettie and Sebastian Rouse but will also see contributions from junior Daylon Doe (WR), senior Rocco Cardinale (WR) and senior Nick Saigh (WR).

Replacing Jaden Holyfield in the backfield is an impossible task, but junior Andrew MacGillis, junior Ethan Hamilton and sophomore King Jackson are all expected to get some touches behind an experienced offensive line.

Senior Jaylen Hardy (LB), senior Clintin Allen (LB), senior Ethan Bailey (LB) and senior Matthew McLeod (DB) are expected to lead the Norsemen defense.

Grosse Pointe Woods University Liggett

Last season’s record: 7-3.

League: Catholic League Intersectional 2.

First game: vs. Fowler High, 4:30 p.m. Aug 24.

Tallying its highest win total since 2016, University Liggett is poised for another successful year behind its stout defensive unit.

The Knights allowed just under 15 points per game last season, earning two shutout wins.

If the team is able to repeat its success from last season, Liggett will look to win its first playoff game since 2016.

Grosse Pointe South

Last season’s record: 6-4.

League: Macomb Area Conference White Division.

First game: vs. Port Huron Northern High, 7 p.m. Aug. 24.

Extending its playoff streak to eight, Grosse Pointe South has built a foundation of success with 15 winning seasons since 2007.

Returning key players in junior Sam Craparotta (WR), junior Vincent Vachon (WR), senior Charles Schervish (OL/DL) and junior Noah Hart (DB), South is poised for another successful season.

South will have a tough three-game stretch to end the season with St. Clair Shores Lakeview, Romeo and neighborhood rival Grosse Pointe North.

Warren Cousino

Last season’s record: 6-4.

League: Macomb Area Conference Gold Division.

First game: at Auburn Hills Avondale High, 7 p.m. Aug. 24.

Tallying its highest win total since 2016, Cousino was dominant in league play as the team averaged 27 points per game and allowed just over 15 points per game in MAC-Gold matchups.

Senior running back Dequawn Woodruff will look to lead the offense this season as Cousino attempts to make its first backto-back playoff appearances since 20062007.

Warren De La Salle

Last season’s record: 13-1.

League: Catholic League Central Division.

First game: at Davison High (Flint Atwood Stadium), 7 p.m. Aug. 24.

Winning is a tradition unlike any other at De La Salle, and the program has done a lot of it recently with five state championships since 2014, including back-to-back wins in 2017-2018 and now 2021-2022.

Looking to hoist a third straight title, the Pilots will be without an array of all-state talent from last season including University of Cincinnati quarterback Brady Drogosh.

But with the culture De La Salle has in place, coach Dan Rohn said his group is retooled and ready to make another run at it.

“It just has to do with our process,” Rohn said. “I had a high school basketball coach come to our practice the other day, and he’s had a lot of success himself, but he just wanted to see what we were doing. He watched us in the weight room and he said, ‘I’ve never seen a group of kids move around the weight room and do things so routinely, like it’s expected.’”

De La Salle’s offense will rely on senior running back Rhett Roeser to handle the bulk of the carries while junior running back Michael Lopez will also see some touches.

Sophomore wide receiver Damion King leads a highly touted wide receiving room alongside junior Phoenix Glassnor and Briheem Rahbi, while senior Caden Campbell returns at the tight end position.

Only a sophomore, King is a speedster who is poised to make a name for himself in 2023.

“There are kids that it just comes natural to and they can do things at a different level, and Damion King is one of those kids,” Rohn said. “You don’t get to coach very many of those kids often. We’ve had a lot of coaches on campus, and when we had our college day, and I think we had 70 coaches, Damion King striked the eye of all of them. He’s so fluid and so natural. Everything is effortless.”

Warren Fitzgerald

Last season’s record: 2-7.

League: Macomb Area Conference Gold Division.

First game: vs. Warren Mott, 7 p.m. Aug. 24.

Defense was a massive struggle for Fitzgerald in 2022, and it’ll be the primary focus as coach JuWan Shakespear and his squad enter the 2023 season.

Allowing just over 38 points per game last season, including three games of 50 points or more, Fitzgerald will look to senior linebacker J’len Anderson to anchor the defense this season.

Warren Lincoln

Last season’s record: 2-6.

League: Macomb Area Conference Bronze Division.

First game: vs. Mount Clemens High, 7 p.m. Aug. 24.

Lincoln is a team to keep an eye on this season largely due to the fact that its offense and defense both showed flashes of efficiency last year.

Senior quarterback Terrance Lombard returns to lead the offensive unit, while junior wide receivers Jeremiah Hutson and Aaron Logan lead the receiving core. Senior running back Davis Rogers is expected to handle the bulk of the carries this season.

“You’ll see another level of efficiency on the offensive side of the ball,” Lincoln coach Darrius Alexander said. “You’re going to see a lot of consistency and a lot of guys making plays.”

Warren Mott

Last season’s record: 5-5.

League: Macomb Area Conference Blue

Division.

First game: at Warren Fitzgerald High, 7 p.m. Aug. 24.

Last season’s playoff appearance was a major step in the right direction for Mott after snapping its 10-year playoff streak in 2021.

While Mott saw a first-round exit, the team is looking to show that it is headed in the right direction this season behind senior WR/CB Sopuruchi Ojinnaka, junior WR/ CB Wes Gilmore, senior RB/DE John Grant and senior RB/LB N’Marian Gilbert.

Mott coach Tom Milanov said he expects his team to benefit from multiple qualities this season.

“Team speed is definitely a benefit, and we definitely have good camaraderie and a team that likes each other,” Milanov said.

“That can make a world of a difference.”

Mott hasn’t lost a season opener since the 2011-12 season.

Warren Woods Tower

Last season’s record: 2-7.

League: Macomb Area Conference Gold Division.

First game: at St. Clair Shores Lakeview High, 7 p.m. Aug. 24.

For Tower, it’s all about getting the offense and defense on the same page.

Both units showed flashes of efficiency in 2022, but neither seemed to click when Tower needed them most.

Tower will have an early test again as it opens up against St. Clair Shores Lakeview, who blanked Tower 35-0 last season.

Man facing charges for allegedly driving drunk, causing cyclist’s death

BY BRIAN WELLS bwells@candgnews.com

EASTPOINTE — A Detroit man is facing charges in connection with an alleged drunken driving incident that resulted in death.

cost was a capital outlay appropriation from the state of Michigan, with the remaining approximately $30 million covered by the college’s capital projects fund. According to MCC President James Sawyer, the new Skilled Trades and Advanced Technology Center is the college’s largest renovation project to date.

“Today we’re taking a huge step forward supporting programs in advanced manufacturing, technology and the skilled trades,” Sawyer said. “The quality of our graduates and our commitment to the ongoing collaboration with industry keeps our programs in step with the evolution of how business and industry works.

“With the renovation, we’re creating a teaching and learning environment optimized for preparing our students for successful and smooth transition to high demand manufacturing, technology and skilled trades jobs,” Sawyer said. “We’re excited about the possibilities of correcting negative old school, outdated notions about what manufacturing and industrial workplaces look like. We’re looking forward to leveraging Macomb’s Skilled Trades and Advanced Technology Center to introduce middle and high school and their parents to a modern industry environment and the wealth of opportunities in these great careers.”

Sawyer said the credentials skilled trades students will earn are a “gateway to higher level degrees and jobs.” That includes moving from a certificate to an associate degree at Macomb, or continuing to earn a bachelor’s degree through one of Macomb’s university partners.

Lt. Governor Garlin Gilchrist II also addressed the crowd.

“It really is exciting to be here back on the campus of Macomb Community College.

I do think Macomb has a particular identity that this project really illustrates,” Gilchrist said. “The state of Michigan is proud to be

phens Road in Eastpointe. Upon arrival, officers found full and empty alcohol bottles in the suspect’s vehicle, as well as a cooler filled with ice and full bottles, according to a press release from the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office.

Laws was found to be under the influence of alcohol at the time of the incident, the Prosecutor’s Office said. The victim was transported to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead, according to the Prosecutor’s Office.

Laws was arraigned Aug. 10 in the 38th District Court in Eastpointe. He is facing

charges of operating while intoxicated causing death and driving while license suspended causing death, both 15-year felonies, and driving with an open alcohol container in a vehicle, a 90-day misdemeanor.

Magistrate Mark Makoski set Laws’ bond at $600,000 cash or surety with no 10%. If Laws is released — he remained in the Macomb County Jail as of Aug. 18 — he is not to leave the state or use drugs or alcohol, and he must wear an alcohol/GPS tether and be on home confinement.

Laws was scheduled for a probable cause conference Aug. 22, after press time,

a partner in bringing something like this to fruition. The reason we are so invested is because we recognize that everyone who comes through this expanded and stronger and more vibrant facility, they’ll learn something about themselves.

“You come to learn a trade, you come to learn a particular set of techniques or a particular set of skills to get specific certifications that are very important to you and the community,” Gilchrist said. “What you will learn is that if you can imagine something and you can create something, that you can create anything. The students that walk through these halls, who use these machines, who learn from these very talented, skilled and experienced instructors, these are the kind of people who inspire the creative minds of Macomb and Michigan.

“When we invest in that, we are not only investing in the present vitality of this institution, but the future vitality of our economy,” Gilchrist said. “This was designed for Industry 4.0. I know this is the team that can make that happen.”

Congressman John James, R-Shelby Township, presented a certificate to Sawyer to recognize the completion of the renovated facility.

“I want to congratulate the college on their grand opening of the tech center. It’s wonderful to be here taking a big step toward building the workforce of the future,” James said.

James, a veteran who served in Iraq, alluded to the importance of providing skilled trades training to military veterans.

“The veterans’ entry into apprenticeship is just one way we can integrate with Macomb Community College and get our veterans back into our workforce,” James said. “Not just a profession, but a purpose to help reduce veterans suicide and increase our ability to serve and grow our nation and our economy.”

Macomb Community College Board of Trustees Chair Katherine Lorenzo and Ma-

comb County Executive Mark Hackel also spoke during the event. After the ceremony, guests enjoyed a reception and toured the new building, which included classroom demonstrations.

The project’s architects were Hobbs+Black Architects, based in Ann Arbor. Barton Marlow, which has several offices including Detroit and Southfield, was the construction manager.

At press time, the new semester was scheduled to begin Aug. 21.

Currently he is working as an assistant prosecuting attorney for Wayne County.

Hall-Rayford, 71, a retired educator and current Eastpointe Community Schools trustee, received 633 or 16.8% of the total votes.

Going forward, Klinefelt said he is going to be “stepping up” his campaigning for the general election in November.

“I’m only halfway there,” he said.

Klinefelt and Hall-Rayford are competing for one four-year term. Hall-Rayford did not return a request for comment.

Owens received 531 votes, which was 14.1% of the total, while Cobb-Muñiz, who was appointed to the City Council in January, received 446 votes — 11.9% of the total.

Owens did not return a request for comment. During the Aug. 15 City Council meeting, she thanked those who voted in the primary.

Owens, 39, who became the city’s first Black mayor four years ago, served on the Eastpointe City Council from 2017 until

she was elected mayor. In March, she was arraigned on one charge of false pretenses $1,000 or more but less than $20,000, a five-year felony, after being accused by Macomb County Prosecutor Peter Lucido of fraudulently applying for a grant under the CARES Act in November 2020.

The charge is one of several controversies involving the mayor. In 2022, a complaint was filed against Owens by former EastOwens pointe Arts & Cultural Diversity Commission Chair Alysa Diebolt, who stated that Owens violated the city’s ethics ordinance by calling the city’s public safety director to be present at City Hall during an Cobb-Muñiz incident in February 2020.

The complaint was dismissed, but the City Council voted 3-1 to censure Owens at an April 2022 meeting. The motion was introduced by Councilman Cardi Demonaco Jr., Diebolt’s husband.

Later, in June 2022, Owens filed a re-

quest for a personal protection order against Councilman Harvey Curley after she said he assaulted her during the opening ceremonies of the annual Cruisin’ Gratiot event. However, a Macomb County Circuit Court judge later denied the request.

In November 2022, after Owens attempted to prevent two Eastpointe residents, one being Hall-Rayford, from speaking about Curley during the public comment section of a September City Council meeting, the residents, along with two others, filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court alleging that Owens had violated their First Amendment rights. In December, U.S. District Court Judge Terrence G. Berg issued an injunction that states that “members of the public may direct and/or express comment, criticism or praise to and regarding public officials.”

In 2019, Owens beat Klinefelt for the position of mayor of Eastpointe by a margin of 19 votes. At the time, both were serving on the Eastpointe City Council.

“I’m glad to see that voters have been paying attention, and I think it’s time that the city goes in a different direction,” Klinefelt said.

Cobb-Muñiz congratulated Klinefelt and Hall-Rayford. She also stated the importance of voting.

“Going forward, it is imperative that Eastpointers actively engage in the governmental process — in exercising their right to vote, showing up and participating in ongoing conversation at Council meetings and calling for the transparency and accountability of their elected officials,” she said in an email.

Her term on City Council will end at the end of the year.

“I’ve been blessed to make an impact through my local community work, chairing the board of ethics, as a planning commissioner and even in my short seven months on City Council,” she said. “Our city administration and staff are by far some of the hardest-working and most dedicated individuals you will find working alongside elected officials.”

By the July deadline, six candidates filed to run for two four-year terms on the City Council Nov. 7. The candidates are Miranda Nicole Barconey, Vicky Coleman, Curley, Wanda Moody, Margaret Podsiadlik and Nicola Strong.

Bond am grateful to the parents, students, and other members of the community who helped us inform residents about the bond proposal. Thank you to the Eastpointe community for your continued support.”

A bond proposal is developed by the school district and presented to the voters. When a bond proposal passes, the bonds are sold in the capital markets at a date determined by the district, a financial adviser and an underwriter. Upon closing, funds generated from the bond sale are deposited in the district’s construction fund and are available to spend for completion of the projects contemplated in the bond proposal.

Projects are scheduled for all nine buildings in the district, including four elementary schools, Eastpointe Middle School, Eastpointe High School, the Early Learning Center, the Alternative Center, and the operations and transportation building.

Bond dollars will be used for safety and security improvements, facility upgrades and technology updates. That includes everything from roofing to heating and cooling to playgrounds.

According to Caitlyn Kienitz, the district’s communications and marketing coordinator, school officials will meet this fall to start planning out the projects and seek additional community input.

“At that point, they can get started on the engineering and planning work,” she said via email. “We are hoping to start some work by summer 2024.”

The work won’t be done all at once and is expected to take approximately five years. At press time, school officials were planning to give a bond presentation at the Aug. 28 Board of Education meeting to be held at 6:30 p.m. at Eastpointe City Hall, 23200 Gratiot Ave. Eastpointe voters last approved a $23 million bond issue in 2009, which focused on needs at the secondary level.

Information about the proposal is available on the school district’s website at eastpointeschools.org under the “bond election info” heading. Click on the school bond info link, which includes a list of projects per school building.

OK2SAY shows increase in reports

METRO DETROIT — On July 25, the office of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer released an annual report that showed Michigan State Police logged more than 7,400 tips from OK2SAY in 2022, which was a 19% increase from the previous year.

OK2SAY is a student safety program which allows anyone to confidentially report tips on criminal activities or potential harm directed at Michigan students, school employees or schools. Tips can include reports on bullying, individual threats to a specific person, drugs and alcohol use, harassment and depression.

OK2SAY is available 24/7 and tips can be submitted by calling (855) 5652729 or texting to 652729, which stands for OK2SAY. Tipsters also can send an email to OK2SAY@mi.gov or at the website michigan.gov/ok2say. The OK2SAY mobile app is available for download in app stores for iPhone and Android.

Initial tips are fielded by Michigan State Police OK2SAY technicians. They are trained to receive, analyze and disseminate tip information to local law enforcement agencies, school officials, community mental health service programs, or the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services for a timely response.

The state’s fiscal year 2024 budget includes an additional $378,000 to support the hiring of three more OK2SAY technicians to respond to the increasing number of tips.

Troy High HOSA team achieves success at national conference Troy High School’s Health Occupations Students of America team recently returned with many accolades from the International Leadership Conference in Dallas.

This competitive conference took place June 20-25 and welcomed more than 12,000 students from the United States, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Canada, American Samoa and China.

Twenty-eight Troy High students accompanied team moderator Angie Griesmann to this year’s conference.

HOSA is a national organization formed to promote physical, mental and social well-being; develop effective leadership qualities and skills; and develop the ability to communicate more with people both inside and outside the organization.

Top awards were received by several Troy High students, including Ria Lattupalli, who placed third in the International in Healthy Lifestyle category; Fiona Samson, who placed second in the International in Biotechnology

ROSEVILLE — Dewon Henderson, 37, who was convicted of two counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct by a jury in June, was sentenced Aug. 2.

In December 2021, Henderson sexually assaulted a minor in a hotel in Roseville. He was convicted after a four-day jury trial in the 16th Circuit Court in Macomb County.

On Aug. 2, he was sentenced to 25-40 years in prison. He must also register on the Michigan Sex Offender Registry, have lifetime electronic monitoring and pay court fines and costs.

Joshua Jones, Henderson’s attorney, did not return a request for comment.

Items stolen from apartment

SHELBY TOWNSHIP — At 12:07 a.m. July 16, Shelby Township police officers were dispatched to an apartment in the area of Dequindre and West Utica roads on a breaking and entering report. Upon arrival, officers met with the caller and observed that someone had forcibly entered the front door.

Officers checked the apartment but didn’t find any suspects inside. A safe, money, several purses and jewelry reportedly had been stolen from the apartment. Evidence technicians were called to the scene to gather potential evidence, and the case was turned over to the detective bureau for further investigation.

Boat partially sinks after pump lines cut

ST. CLAIR SHORES — At 12:37 p.m. on July 24, a report was made about property damage that occurred between July 16 and July 24 in the 24000 block of Jefferson Avenue.

Upon arrival, the officer spoke to the victim, a 42-year-old man, who stated when he had his boat docked during the said times, an unknown suspect cut the lines that operate the pump. The boat was reportedly taking on water, causing it to sink due to the lines being cut.

According to the report, the marina indicated that the victim would be required to pay $3,500 to have the boat removed because it partially sunk.

The victim stated he was unsure about the cost of any repairs. The insurance company was unknown.

ST. CLAIR SHORES — At 5:29 p.m. on July 21, a report was made about an alleged retail fraud on the same date in the 23000 block of Marter Road.

Upon arrival, an officer spoke to the manager, a 24-year-old man, who stated that a man in his late 30s to early 40s entered the store and grabbed

a basket. The man went to where the 5-Hour Energy drinks were and the manager followed, having recognized him from previous retail thefts.

The manager asked the suspect if he needed any assistance and the man stated he did not. The suspect proceeded to load approximately 10 cases of 5-Hour Energy into a basket.

The manager followed the suspect to the front of the store and told the clerk to call 911 before following the suspect out the door past the point of sale. The suspect got into a vehicle and the driver of the vehicle reportedly matched the description of the registered vehicle owner.

The registered owner had a warrant out for her arrest. The manager showed the officer the footage of the theft and also provided a complaint number from a previous incident with the suspect.

Truck taken

GROSSE POINTE WOODS — Three unknown suspects are believed to have been involved in the theft of a 2022 Ford Bronco from a parking lot in the 20000 block of Mack Avenue at around 5 p.m.

July 25.

According to a police report, the victim left the truck unlocked with the keys inside while visiting a business in the area. A witness saw the suspects — teens riding bikes through the alley — and saw one of them enter the truck and drive away in it.

Police said they were able to locate and recover the truck soon after in Detroit thanks to a GPS tracker inside the vehicle. The truck also contained a wallet with cash and debit cards; police said the suspects racked up more than $5,000 worth of purchases on the debit cards before the victim could cancel them.

Packages plucked from truck

GROSSE POINTE PARK — While a delivery truck was parked in the 15000 block of Kercheval Avenue dropping off packages, police said an unknown suspect took advantage of the rear truck door being left open to snag some of the packages left inside at around 5:30 p.m. July 19.

The driver, who witnessed the incident, said the suspect ran westbound toward Alter Road.

Trespassers try to cool off in property’s water

STERLING HEIGHTS — A caller told police July 21 that two male suspects were trespassing on private property near 15 Mile and Schoenherr roads.

The suspects allegedly said they wanted to cool off in some water, despite “no trespassing” signs on the premises. They reportedly drove out of a funeral home parking lot prior to police arriving.
