EASTPOINTE — Voters in Eastpointe chose a newcomer to join the council and replace a council member who has served for more than a decade. Karen Scott, 36, who has not pre-
viously held elected office, received the most votes — 2,849 votes, 38.62% of the total votes — in a three-person race for two four-year terms on the council. “I’m very thankful for all the residents that came out and voted and made sure their voice was heard,” Scott said. “They voiced a lot of concerns that
were going on in the city of Eastpointe. I’m very happy with the results, and I look forward to serving the residents of Eastpointe, working with the local businesses and hopefully helping Eastpointe.” In the voter guide put together by See EASTPOINTE on page 7A

ROSEVILLE — Something was cooking inside the Roseville High School cafe the morning of Oct. 29. That’s because the culinary arts students participated in a meals ready to eat challenge. The meal ready to eat, better known as an MRE, is a prepackaged food ration for the U.S. armed forces. The meals usually include an entree, side dish, cracker or bread, a dessert, a beverage, and a flameless ration heater. Army National Guard Sgt. 1st Class Brandon Dunn and Sgt. Angel Weatherbee were present for the contest. Both work out of the Michigan Army National Guard recruiting office located at 31089 Hayes Road in Warren. There were two contests with two different classes: one at 8 a.m. and one at 10 a.m. The culinary arts program is a 2-hour block. The students worked in pairs and were given a packet of ingredients to start. From there, they added other foods, condiments and spices. They had 15 minutes to come up with a meal, and Dunn and Weatherbee offered tips. “I want you to look at your ingredients,” Dunn
