EASTPOINTE, ROSEVILLE GRADUATION CEREMONIES 12A
Eastpointe Cruisin’ Gratiot makes for a ‘wheel’ good time
BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com
EASTPOINTE — Rev your engines, shine that chrome and show off those tail fins, the 26th annual Eastpointe Cruisin’ Gratiot drives into town June 1014.
Over the five-day span, classic cars, hot rods, muscle cars, convertibles and more will adorn Gratiot Avenue to celebrate the golden age of the automobile. You may even spot a poodle skirt or two.
Eastpointe Cruisin’ Gratiot began in 1999. While the cars are definitely the stars, the event showcases
local businesses and brings families into the community. Through merchandise sales and registration fees, cruising activities also raise money for local charities.
The annual event brings back the heyday of cruising Gratiot with your high school buddies who had as much grease in their hair as was under their car hoods. Eastpointe Cruisin’ Gratiot is a throwback to a time in which listening to Elvis Presley and Chuck Berry records, with your arm around your sweetheart, was the ideal Saturday night.
Eastpointe Cruisin’ Gratiot includes car shows, cruising and more. Disc jockey Jim Randlett will play

ROSEVILLE — City officials wearing hard hats broke ground on a splash pad at Rotary Park May 27.
“It’s a great, great thing for Roseville,” Mayor Pro Tem Catherine Haugh said at the event. “We’ve waited a long time to improve this park, and we’re going to bring something for everybody.”

Summer Reading Challenge will ‘Color Our World’
BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com
EASTPOINTE/ROSEVILLE — The Roseville Public Library and the Eastpointe Memorial Library are hosting the annual Summer Reading Challenge, and it promises to be colorful.
The Summer Reading Challenge is designed to encourage lifelong reading, help children keep up their reading skills when on summer vacation, and bring people into the library for activities and events.
This year’s Summer Reading Challenge theme is “Color Our World,” and residents of all ages are encouraged to participate.
Roseville
“The Summer Reading Challenge is one of our biggest programs every year,” Roseville Public Library Community Relations and Marketing Librarian Jason Novetsky said via email. “Its purpose is to encourage reading during the busy summer months, especially for children and teens to limit the backsliding that often happens between school years. We hope that everyone who loves reading will join us in making this year’s program a success.”
With the Color Our World theme, many Roseville activities will center around art, paint and tie-dye. Make sure to check
Winter’s Sausage withdraws rezoning request that would have allowed expansion
BY BRIAN WELLS bwells@candgnews.com
EASTPOINTE — An architect representing a local company seeking to expand said the company would withdraw its request for rezoning to allow for the exploration of alternative solutions.
In August 2024, the Eastpointe City Council voted unanimously to establish an industrial district/plant rehabilitation district for Winter’s Sausage after the company gave notice of its plan to expand the facility in a two-phase project.
Currently, Winter’s Sausage is classified as MU-3 Regional Mixed Use. In a request filed Feb. 21 of this year, the company is asking to be rezoned as LI Light Industrial. Changing the zoning would allow the company to “increase and expand upon the current food processing business,” according to a memo filed as part of the request.
The business currently owns four parcels of property on the northwest corner of Gratiot and Crescentwood avenues.
At the Planning Commission’s May 1 meeting, Lee Stevens, an architect with Port Huron-based Stevens Architects,
representing Winter’s Sausage, explained a request filed by the company to rezone the current facility to allow for more expansion.
According to Stevens, the company recently purchased a small piece of property to the north, which it wants to connect to the current facility. The building that was acquired previously housed Creative Seasons Apparel.
However, to be able to make the connection, the zoning of that property would need to be changed, he said.
“We’d like to get that zoned so we can expand that way, and that’s where we would be able to expand our business,” he said.
The zoning change approved in 2024 was to allow the facility to expand farther to the west, but with the purchase of the property to the north, those plans have been changed, Stevens said.
Stevens added that the expansion would allow the company to stay in Eastpointe while having space for larger machinery that would allow it to create a better product.
“What happens with machinery is it takes a lot more

Police searching for woman who abandoned kittens
BY ANDY KOZLOWSKI akozlowski@candgnews.com
EASTPOINTE — Authorities are asking the public for help identifying a woman who abandoned a litter of kittens at a local motel.
The incident occurred May 28, when police received a call from a woman at 10:35 a.m. reporting that a litter of kittens had been abandoned that morning at the Eastland Motel on Gratiot Avenue north of Eight Mile Road. The kittens were left in a carrier.
Surveillance footage released by the motel and reviewed by police showed a female suspect whom authorities are asking for help identifying. Stills from the footage were posted to the Facebook page for Eastpointe Animal Control.
“We are also still looking for the mother cat, as she was not with the kittens,” said Ashley Sanchez, the animal control officer for Eastpointe.
The kittens are currently in the care of A ReJoyceful Animal Rescue, in Clinton Township, and will be available for adoption in the coming weeks.
The kittens were only a few days old when discovered.
Anyone with more information is asked to call (586) 445-5100, Ext. 1035.

Man and woman shot while in parked car
BY ANDY KOZLOWSKI akozlowski@candgnews.com
EASTPOINTE — Police are investigating a drive-by shooting in which two individuals were seriously injured.
At around 6:15 p.m. May 22, Eastpointe officers were dispatched to the 24000 block of Greenbrier Avenue, near Stephens Road and Interstate 94, to investigate a shooting complaint. Upon arrival, they found a man and a woman who had suffered gunshot wounds while sitting in their car.
“All victims indicated that they did not know why they were targeted,” Eastpointe Police Lt. Alexander Holish said in an email. “The victims were attacked as soon as they parked their vehicle near the curb in front of the house.”
They were taken to a hospital and were reportedly in critical condition. At press time, Holish had no updates on their conditions.
A third person in the vehicle was also struck and ran from the car.
“The only follow-up we have is that we located the third person and spoke with him. He sustained a graze wound to his upper arm but did not require any further treatment,” Holish said. “Unfortunately, he did not have much information for us.”
The shooter fled the scene in a dark blue Dodge Durango that had been reported stolen out of Grosse Point Park.
“We are working to identify the suspect and executing numerous warrants that may help us place people at the scene,” Holish said. “But it is a long and tedious process.”
If you know more about this incident, call Eastpointe police at (586) 445-5100.

Pet boarding offers safe, secure option for vacationgoers
BY BRIAN WELLS bwells@candgnews.com
METRO DETROIT — Vacation season is here, and while you’re packing your bags, don’t forget about your pet’s plans.
Nearly all pet owners at some point are left wondering if they should board their pet, or ask a trusted friend or relative to take care of them?
Sarah Ignash, who owns All American Pet Resorts in Roseville, said one advantage of boarding your dog instead of having a friend or relative check in is that your dog will be with trained professionals who can prevent a dog from getting loose.
“I’ve actually had quite a few people where people who don’t normally take care of dogs, somebody comes to the front door, they just open it wide and the dog goes running out, or they drop the leash when they’re
on a walk,” she said. “Boarding is secure.”
Before selecting a boarding facility, Jim Blau, with Mid-Michigan K9 Academy, said it’s important to know who you’re leaving your dog with.
“You want someone that’s going to make sure all the dogs there are vaccinated, including yours,” he said.
Ensuring the dogs are vaccinated can help to prevent health problems, Blau said. He also said owners should choose a facility that does regular health checks, and that allows dogs time to be out of their cages.
Blau stated that because a facility might cost less than others, it doesn’t mean that it might be better for the dog.
“You save 10 bucks a night or 20 bucks a night and went to a cheaper facility and they use bleach instead of the more expensive, pet-friendly cleaning agents, and so

AAA calls this time
‘The 100 Deadliest Days’
DEARBORN — On June 3, AAA issued a press release warning that the stretch between Memorial Day and Labor Day is known as “The 100 Deadliest Days” for teen drivers, a period when crashes involving teen drivers spike.
AAA’s review of crash data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration shows a 30% increase in deadly crashes involving teen drivers during summer compared to the rest of the year. The key risk factors for teen drivers include distractions from cellphones and infotainment systems, speeding, driving with other teen passengers, and failure to wear a seatbelt.
AAA offers parents the following tips:
• Lead by example. Model good driving behavior by avoiding distractions, obeying speed limits and always buckling up.
• Provide at least 50 hours of supervised driving practice. Give teens experience driving in diverse conditions such as nighttime, inclement weather, and on highways and busy streets.
• Teach defensive driving skills. Encourage teens to anticipate hazards, stay alert and maintain a safe following distance.
• Create a parent-teen driving agreement. Establish clear rules about when, where, and with whom your teen can drive. Clearly outline the consequences for breaking the rules and rewards for driving safely.
Dance students wanted
EASTPOINTE/ROSEVILLE — The Recreation Authority of Roseville and Eastpointe is offering a “Line Dance Time Machine” class from 7:25 to 8:25 p.m. Monday evenings July 7 through Aug. 11.

your dog comes back with rashes, or they don’t check all the immunizations,” he said.
Blau also urged pet owners to visit the facility and do a walkthrough before agreeing to board your pet there.
“(Owners) can use their own eyes, and they can use their own judgment,” he said. “Is this some place where they would want their dog to stay?”
Ignash also said pet owners should look for a boarding facility that is staffed 24 hours. Having staff overnight can help in case of an emergency, she said.
“Most places don’t tell you that they leave at maybe 8 p.m. and don’t come back until 6 a.m.,” she said.
Once a boarding facility has been selected, Ignash said many boarders will want to get to know your dog and its history, which can help the staff know how to keep it happy and relaxed.
“You didn’t tell your dog that you were going on vacation. Your dog has no idea why they’re there,” she said. “So we’re doing the best we can to keep your dog happy and calm and giving them lots of pets, lots of attention.”

Splash pad
from page 1A
Ninja Course, is expected to be installed in the park this fall.
“That should be one of the first things installed because we already, physically, have that in our possession,” Department of Public Services Director Rob DeBruyn said.
Improvements for the park were made possible through voter-approved bond funding from the November 2023 election. The bond funds have led to a variety of other improvements in the city, from fire station renovations to re-tiling City Hall.
The Roseville City Council unanimously approved Rain Drop Inc.’s proposal for the splash pad’s equipment at its Sept. 10, 2024, meeting. The Ohio-based company’s approved bid was $336,123 with a $20,000 contingency for minor modifications, if needed. The council unanimously approved DeAngelis Diamond Construction’s bid of $1,877,813 to install the splash pad and make other improvements to the park at its April 8 meeting. DeAngelis is the general contractor for the Rotary Park improvements and will hire specialized subcontractors for things like the splash pad, according to DeBruyn.
“We’re happy to bring this park some new life,” City Manager Ryan Monroe said. “It hasn’t had updates in many, many years.”
DeBruyn said a security system is planned to go in the park to correspond with the various improvements.
“We’re going to know what’s going on and when it’s going on,” he said. “We’re still looking at options. We would like to incorporate some type of AI system.”
Anderson, Eckstein & Westrick Executive Vice President Scott Lockwood said the improvements would “transform” the park, serving as one of the most visible bond improvements for residents. Rotary Park’s improvements are unique among the bond-funded projects in the city for Lockwood.
“This will be the most visible, widely used thing,” he said.
DeBruyn is “cautiously optimistic” that the splash pad will be well maintained for many years.
“It’s a great addition. City Council really wanted to bring something for the people,” he said. “I think they’re knocking it out of the park with this one. It’s not a little thing; it’s a big deal.”
Those present at the May 27 ceremony included Roseville City Council members Haugh, Kurmmell Knox, Jan Haggerty, Bill Shoemaker and Steven Wietecha. Monroe, members of the Roseville Department of Public Services and representatives from AEW were also at the event.
“It’s going to be a wonderful addition to the city of Roseville,” Monroe said.

Cruisin’ Gratiot. This year,
for #COWsummer in various locations around town.
Roseville will hold its Summer Reading Challenge June 14 until Aug. 29. Staff will host a kickoff event from 3 to 7 p.m. June 14 during Rosefest at Veterans Memorial Park, located at 27325 Barkman St. Librarians will set up a tent where people can visit to register for the program, pick up a book bag, and get some free popcorn while it lasts. Balloon twists will be offered from 5 to 7 p.m.
Participants earn points by reading books, attending library programs, and completing different “missions,” such as finishing the Detroit Institute of Arts Inside/Out in Roseville game, using a Michigan Activity Pass and more.
Readers must track their progress in the reading log included in book bags or by using the READSquared app/website. Points earned can then be exchanged for raffle tickets for prizes. Prizes are awarded after the challenge concludes at the end of August. Although the program is open to anyone who wants to participate, some prizes can only be won by Roseville patrons with library cards in good standing.
Patrons can register one of three ways for the Summer Reading Challenge: in person at Rosefest, using the READSquared app, or in person at the library at 29777 Gratiot Ave. However, the library is undergoing renovations this summer, and patrons will want to park in the lot off Kelly Road, which is to the west of the building, to enter the temporary Pocket Library.
Because the main library building is closed for renovations, staff will host programs on the library lawn and at other locations around Roseville, including Veterans Memorial Park and Macomb Mall. To view a list of upcoming activities, visit rosevillelibrary.org. For more information on the Summer Reading Challenge, call the library at (586) 445-5407 or email rsvlibraryservice@ roseville-mi.gov.

Staff members over at the Eastpointe Memorial Library are getting ready for their own version of “Color Our World.” The Summer Reading Challenge officially will begin June 13 and continue until Aug. 8. Reading Challenge logs and review sheets will be available beginning June 13 at the library.
When contacted through email, Assistant Director Christopher McCollum said patrons of all ages are encouraged to track

their reading through either a reading log for children that asks for the number of minutes read, or book reviews for adults. For every three hours that children read, they will be eligible for a prize. Adults can submit their book reviews to be entered into a weekly drawing to try to win gift cards from local businesses.
“Summer reading is especially important to help combat summer slump, a phenomenon that affects kids and teens. During the summer, kids and teens aren’t going to class or learning with the same amount of intensity as in the school year. This can lead to regressions in learned knowledge and literacy skills,” McCollum said. “Reading, among other things, helps keep summer slump at bay by keeping their brains active. The Summer Reading Program is also important for adults because it reminds and incentivizes them to read. Coming into the
library to fill out book reviews also gives us the opportunity to connect them with other great resources that the library offers.”
Library staff already have a number of color-inspired events to go along with the “Color Our World” theme, including “Adventure of the Missing Color Science Show” at noon June 14. Patrons also are invited to “The Art of Magic With Jeff Wawrzaszek” at noon June 21, and “Let’s Color Our World” with Genot Picor at 2 p.m. June 25. Eastpointe will have a party at the end of the summer, and all the reading participants will be welcome.

Cruise
from page 10A
Cruise Day is free to drive your vintage vehicle on Gratiot Avenue. However, if you want to enter the judging contests, the cost is $15. There are 18 different judging categories. For diehard gearheads, there also is an Eastpointe Cruisin’ Gratiot VIP package for $45 that includes judging, a goody bag, a Tshirt, a street sign and a dash plaque. There is a limited supply of the VIP packages.
Cruise organizers have made two noticeable changes this year. Both the designated cruise lane on Gratiot Avenue and the VIP parade featuring local dignitaries have been eliminated. They had been a large part of the cruise in past years, but are not coming back this year to cut down on costs associated with the Eastpointe Police Department and the Department of Public Works.
Another change is the addition of two more car shows than in recent years. The cruise events are usually held on three days, but because there were more sponsors this year, two car shows were added.
Steve Upton has attended the annual cruise “for a very long time,” and this is his first year as board president.
“The cruising community is just beautiful. It’s so tight knit. Everyone knows ev-
eryone,” he said. “You can bring your car in, and it’s just a fun event. I hope everyone will come out and enjoy it.”
“I enjoy how it brings people together and supports charities,” said Sharon Upton, board secretary. “You see a lot of people from different cities.”
Sharon Upton said this year money will be donated to the following nonprofit organizations: the East Detroit Tiger Cats, St. Vincent de Paul, Love Life Family Christian Center, the Eastpointe Lions Club, and the St. Peter’s Lutheran Men’s Club. Also benefitting is the Eastpointe High School In-House Scholarship Fund. Cruise organizers also have plans to financially support the Eastpointe Fire Department’s free smoke alarm program.
Cruise merchandise, including T-shirts, will be for sale at the following establishments: Advance Auto Parts, Cloverleaf, Eastpointe High School, First State Bank, Muffler Man, Pep Boys and St. Peter’s Lutheran Church.
Another way to commemorate the event is to buy a cruise hat for $25. The hats will be available in limited quantities at all merchandise sales locations.

Rezoning

space, and you get a better product because it’s handled uniformly,” he said. “So, by having that property, allowing us to build over there allows us to use more machinery and have a better facility and a better product.”
Stevens said staying in Eastpointe allows the company to remain more regional.
“We are a regional distributor, so we are close to our primary distributor, which is Lipari, and we’re also close to Eastern Market and all that by being on Gratiot. … So, we like the regional idea, we like the city here, we like what you’ve done with us, always, in the past,” he said.
However, at the start of the meeting, Paul Urbiel, senior principal planner with McKenna, recommended that the commission deny the request.
His biggest concern, he said, was what might happen to the parcels if Winter’s Sausage were to sell one or relocate.
“In the short term it would allow Winter Sausage to remain in operation exactly how it is, but the rezoning is permanent, so if they sold off a parcel or moved somewhere else, that parcel would remain zoned as-is without a hearing like this,” he said.

Additionally, Urbiel said changing the zoning would make the property incompatible with the adopted future-land-use map and master plan.
John D’Hondt, the chair of the Planning Commission, said he was concerned that if the commission approved the request, it could “open a can of worms” in the future for other businesses looking to do the same.
D’Hondt also was concerned about the proximity of the facility to a residentially zoned area, which was echoed by Urbiel. The building recently acquired by Winter’s Sausage shares a wall with the Imperial Motel.
“Part of the concern about utilizing the building that shares a common wall with residential use to the north is that residential use exists and industrial uses that share the wall have the potential to impact it,” Urbiel said.
Stevens added that Winter Sausage wasn’t necessarily looking to rezone the property; it was looking to be able to use it with the current business, he said.
In the end, Stevens said the company would withdraw the request to explore alternative solutions that would allow the company to expand without altering the zoning classification.

Fraser High School to host Marine Corps Sports Leadership Academy wrestling camp
BY SCOTT BENTLEY sbentley@candgnews.com
FRASER — Fraser High School will be hosting one of the largest high school wrestling camps in the state on June 14 with an impressive lineup of coaches and leaders running the event.
The camp is completely free to sign up for and will take place from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. for a full day of learning from experts in the field.
The event will be run by the United States Marine Corps Sports Leadership Academy and will also teach life and leadership lessons to the participants, along with the day of wrestling.
Fraser High School wrestling coach Kyle Tucker will be in attendance, along with wrestling coaches from all over southeast Michigan. At press time, there were 25 coaches signed up to help run the camp.
Along with all the coaches, Olympic bronze medalist Myles Amine and three-time Southern Conference champion Taye Ghadiali will be present to guide the wrestlers. Amine went to Detroit Catholic Central High School before a great wrestling career at the University of Michigan, and Ghadiali graduated from Warren Fitzgerald before attending Campbell University. This year, Ghadiali will transfer to the University of Michigan and wrestle as a graduate transfer.
The camp was a success last year and is on track to have more participants this year. The camp is for high schoolers ages 14-19. To register for the free event, visit usmcsports.com/register. Call Sports Writer Scott Bentley at (586) 498-1090.

TAKE IT EASY RIDER
,
FATHER AND SON BUILD THEIR OWN ‘CAPTAIN AMERICA’ E-BICYCLE
BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com
David Royce was a kid in 1969 when the movie “Easy Rider” was released.
His favorite part of the film was the custom-built Harley-Davidson Panhead chopper motorcycle, “Captain America,” that Peter Fonda’s character, Wyatt, rode across the country.
David owned a Schwinn StingRay bicycle at the time. But whenever he gazed at promotional posters of “Easy Rider,” he wished for his own motorcycle with similar features.
Now he’s “racing with the wind” because David finally has his own replica of Fonda’s “Easy Rider” motorcycle. He and his son, Grant, custom built their own “Captain America” electric bicycle.
“It was a boyhood dream,” David said. “It’s a tribute to the chopper movement.”
It took the Rochester Hills duo
about 2 1/2 years to make the electric vehicle from scratch. A lot of planning went into it. During the process and with various materials, the guys created a few prototypes before completing the final version of the electric bicycle.
The e-bike is equipped with many modern-day safety features, including front and rear hydraulic disc brakes. David and Grant installed an electric motor in the rear hub to assist with the pedaling.
Each part of the bike serves a purpose. Two batteries help make the e-bike run. A larger battery is for propulsion, which David said is the pedal assist. A smaller battery operates the LED lighting system, which includes glow lights of different colors. The e-bike features fishtail exhaust pipes, and David even purchased a stars-and-stripes helmet like Fonda’s “Easy Rider” character. The license plate reads “Grant’s Garage.”
Grant, 17, is an avid bicyclist. He was a member of the Rochester United Mountain Bike Racing Team while in
school. The Rochester High School senior graduated last month and will now be a coach for the team. David knows quite a bit about working with machinery. His first career was as an aircraft mechanic. He eventually went back to school and earned a mechanical engineering design degree.
Building their own “Captain America” e-bike chopper required the pair to enroll in several classes at Maker Works in Ann Arbor, where they became skilled in woodworking, welding and more.
“We both did a little bit of everything. We had to cut and weld and design each piece,” Grant said. “I think it was a really good interpretation of the concept my dad had. I think it turned out really well.”
While building the bike, the father and son frequented salvage yards to look for motorcycle and car parts, which Grant described as “very interesting.” The handlebars, for instance,

are from an old Harley-Davidson they found.
“We had to make adapters to go inside the handlebars to accept these,” David said. “A really fun part of the project was adapting motorcycle stuff to a bicycle application and adapting old stuff to new technology. We traipsed over a lot of old motorcycles that were scrapped out.”
The e-bicycle can go as fast as 25 mph. The bike will travel about 20 miles after it is charged. It’s a single-seater, but aesthetically it’s made to look like a two-seater.
“The seat on the back is more just for looks,” Grant said.
The bike did have some professional work done.
“The paint job was done at a professional place,” David said. “There’s some purchased parts — the tires, the fenders. The batteries are purchased.”
David and Grant also have another ebicycle, so they often go riding together on both vehicles in good weather. David loves to cruise to downtown Rochester and one stop is always O’Connor’s Public House. He also rides “Captain America” to work, a 4-mile commute from home. The unique bike always starts a conversation. Many people initially think it’s a motorcycle.
“Everywhere we go, we get all kinds of compliments from people. It’s so much fun. Every day people yell, ‘What a cool bike,’” David said. “The prime one had to be I was riding to the gym and I had the glow lights on for the evening. The high school boys working at the burger place stuck their heads
out of the drive-thru and yelled, ‘Dude, that thing is awesome.’”
David remembers his first cruise on the bike.
“It was wonderful. It was a great feeling,” he said. “First I rode it on pedals, and then I rode it with electric-motor assist. It was very smooth.”
David, an Air Force veteran, said “it was very special” to tackle the project with his son.
“He was very attentive. He was very patient in taking these classes while we meticulously went through every safety precaution. I do believe he learned a lot,” David said. “There are some skills you just can’t learn online, like when you’re operating the mill to cut away metal. You have to feel that with your hands. You can’t teach that on YouTube or LinkedIn or anything else.”
