Declaration eclipses Walling win Flint appears likely to get emergency manager

KRISTIN LONGLEY klongley@flintjournal.com | 810-766-6313

FLINT — The same day voters handed him a solid victory, the state handed Mayor Dayne Walling a stunning blow: A declaration of a financial emergency in Flint and a recommendation that an emergency manager take the reins. Now, Flint’s newly reelected mayor is Election under the results shadow A8,9 of a likely state takeover — the cash-strapped city’s second in just under a decade. Walling could be stripped of authority to carry out the duties of his own office. Under legislation passed early this year, an emergency financial manager would have broad powers, including the ability to limit the power of the mayor and Flint City Council, overturn city ordinances and break contracts. “(Appointing a financial manager) is the governor’s decision to make,” Walling told reporters Tuesday night, soon after declaring victory over challenger Darryl Buchanan. “I’m prepared to move forward. ... We’re all still living in this community, and we want to have a future here.” Only 19 percent of Flint voters turned out for the mayoral election, and Walling won with 8,819 votes, or 56 percent, while Buchanan had 6,868 votes, or 44 percent. Even before the polls closed, state officials announced that Gov. Rick

GRAND BLANC — He rose to fame as a political wunderkind, elected to the state House in his first-ever bid for public office, just 26 years old and still a few credits shy of a law degree. When Paul Scott, a 2000 Grand Blanc High School graduate, won office in 2008, it had been more than 100 years since a black Republican was elected to the state House. In his second term, Scott enjoyed a close relationship with Gov. Rick Snyder and support from top-ranking Republicans. With newfound GOP control in Lansing, he drafted high-profile legislation

A look at the cases Here are details of the two cases the U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to review. Both teens were 14 when the crimes were committed: • Kuntrell Jackson was sentenced to life in prison in Arkansas after the shooting death of a store clerk during an attempted robbery in 1999. Another boy shot the clerk, but because Jackson was present he was convicted of capital murder and aggravated robbery. • Evan Miller was convicted of capital murder during the course of arson. A neighbor, while doing drugs and drinking with Miller and a 16-year-old boy, attacked Miller. Intoxicated, Miller and his friend beat the man and set fire to his home, killing the 52-year-old man.

Job 1? Confidence, engagement For Flint Mayor Dayne Walling, his victory Tuesday had to be bittersweet, even a touch comical. He essentially was handed the keys to the city’s Chevy by voters only to have them taken away by the state, which announced an emergency takeover of Flint’s finances just hours before the polls closed. You could almost see the outANDREW stretched Heller hand: “Sorry, aheller@ kid, hand flintjournal.com ’em over, you’re grounded.” It remains to be seen what this means for Walling and for Flint. We’re in new but familiar territory here. The last time this happened seven years ago, Ed Kurtz, the state’s appointed emergency manager, did a great job, quickly turning a deficit into a surplus. But he had almost total control. He was essentially the mayor, city council, judge and jury. If the same holds true this time, Walling has to be wondering what’s going to be left for him to do. Will he want to stay and wait until the keys are handed back? “We’ll just have to take it step by step,” Walling said Tuesday. That’s a bit noncommittal, but my guess is he sticks it out. It’s clear he badly wants to drive this car. But for now he’ll have to be content to sneak an occasional longing peek while it’s up on blocks for repair in the garage. (Clearly, my metaphor machine is in overdrive today.) While he waits, I’d like to suggest he focus on an issue that might matter more to the city’s well-being in the long run than its finances. Public confidence and engagement. Flint is a city on the brink of giving up. Worse, of not caring. Look at Tuesday’s vote totals. Walling got 8,819 votes, or 56 percent, while Buchanan had 6,868 votes, or 44 percent. There were a handful of write-in votes, presumably for a leftover Halloween Milky Way bar, the Green Lantern and Herman Cain. (You know there was someone who thought he was running.) The total: 15,776. That’s not bad, given some past elections. And it’s a modest increase from the August 2009 special election that put Walling into office to fill out the term of Dandy Don Williamson, who resigned shortly before a recall election. A little more than 12,000 people voted then. But given what the city has gone through since then — soaring deficits, rampant violence, epic fires, not to mention steep declines in incomes, jobs and property values — you’d think people would be clamoring to vote and get this city on the right track again. There should have been 100 percent turnout. But there was never anything even approaching passion in this race, and that’s a troubling sign. If not enough people care, that makes the job of turning the city around even tougher. So the challenge for our new handcuffed mayor becomes this: How does he energize enough of those relative few who were engaged enough to vote — and remember, nearly half of those who did voted against him — to make a difference in the culture of the city? I certainly don’t have the answers. Here’s hoping he does.

FLINT — The Occupy Flint protest movement took its message to the front lawn of City Hall on Tuesday. A small band of demonstrators on Tuesday put up tents on city property at the corner of Saginaw Street and 5th Street, hoping to grab the attention of Flint mayoral candidates and voters. But it was a short stay. The group stayed in its tents overnight but packed up and left Wednesday morning. Brian Morrissey, 29, of Flint said the new location was meant as a one-day deal. “We picked election day. We weren’t endorsing either candidate, and we weren’t against either candidate,” Morrissey said. “What we’re out here to do is to symbolically voice our frustration with the election system that allows money to control our voice.” And the location proved to be a success, he said. Protesters outside City Hall held signs such as “If you’re not outraged, you aren’t paying attention” and had copies of the Michigan Constitution.

Rob Quarters of Flint helps pack up the Occupy Flint camp. About 10 to 20 group members came and went at the new campsite throughout the day Tuesday. Throughout the day Tuesday, Morrissey said the Occupy Flint members received triple the amount of car honks they get other locations and more than 50 people stopped to talk about the movement. City officials never voiced objections over the front lawn camp out, Morrissey said. Jacob Gollesch, 19, of Flint

said he believes the group had the right to camp out in front of city hall. “This is public property,” he said. Flint Mayor Dayne Walling, who won reelection Tuesday, could not be reached for comment on the City Hall.

GRAND BLANC TWP. — A commuter parking lot along Interstate-75 soon will offer Genesee County’s first public electric car charger. The charging station, at the Park and Ride lot on Saginaw Street off I-75 Exit 106, is expected to be installed next week, said township Supervisor Micki Hoffman. “As far as I know, this is the first public charger in Genesee County,” Hoffman said. Chargers previously have been installed at Park and Ride stations in Grand Rapids and Washtenaw County, said Anita Richardson, Michigan Department of Transportation spokeswoman. Plugging in will be free for drivers. The township received the charger for free, and the Community Fund of Grand Blanc is paying installation costs. The township will pay for electricity used. “These electric car chargers will always have to be paid for — the electricity — by the township,” said Kirk Richardson, the township Department of Public Works director. “However, the amount of electricity used on these car chargers is like using a toaster; it’s very little electricity.” He estimated providing electricity for the charger would cost the township between $500 and $1,000 a year. The potential future cost to the township concerned township Trustee Larry Anderson. He said for now, the cost is fine. “But let’s say electric cars really take off, and five years from now we need to put 10 chargers in here,” he said. “Now we’re running 10 toasters all day long.” See CHARGING, A4

FLINT TWP. — Rose Muennix received a lot of presents for her birthday, but she didn’t keep them. Rose, who turned 9 on Nov. 5, donated all of her gifts to Toys for Tots at her birthday party held at The Home Depot on Corunna Road in Flint Township. “I thought it was a nice thing to do, because the kids on Christmas, if they only have a little money they (still) can have the toys,” Rose said. It’s the third year the Grand Blanc Academy fourth-grader donated her birthday presents, said her mother, Sarah Muennix, of Flint. “We’ve asked her every year what she wanted to do — we make it her choice,” Muennix said. “If she doesn’t want to, she doesn’t have to.” Rose first decided she wanted to donate after she was unable to volunteer with her mom at Toys for Tots because she was too young. The toys she donated were brought by guests attending her birthday party and those bought by Rose and her mom throughout the year. The items filled two shopping carts.

FLINT TWP. — One of the township’s part-time township code enforcement officers was suspended for eight days Wednesday after a resident complained to the township supervisor about him. Township board members on Monday questioned why Supervisor Karyn Miller sent Mike Myatt, the code enforcement officer, home from work before informing the board. Myatt, a six-year township employee, met with Miller on Wednesday afternoon to discuss the allegations raised by a resident Nov. 2. He was given a memo that stated a complaint was received and that it alleged Myatt had been “rude” and used “selective enforcement,” according to a copy of the memo. The memo states Myatt will be placed on an unpaid, eight-day suspension, returning to work Nov. 28. During the interim, an investigation will be conducted, the memo states. Myatt works three days a week and has not worked since he was sent home. “I know I’ve done nothing wrong,” he said. “It’s a case of I’m guilty until proven innocent.” The issue arose during the Township Board meet-

ing, where several board members expressed concerns about how the investigation into the complaint has been handled. Myatt said Miller told him on Nov. 2 to turn in the keys to the code enforcement vehicle and sent him home. He said he does not know the nature of the complaint against him or who made it. “Here I am without at home, without pay, and I don’t know what the charges are,” said Myatt, who said he still does not know the specifics of the complaint. “... In this country, you are innocent until proven guilty.” Treasurer Sandra Wright said Miller should have gotten board approval before telling Myatt he would not be scheduled to work until the complaint was investigated. “I completely told (the board) what we have on record as far as hiring and firing and that the board is the sole authority for hiring and firing,” Wright said. Miller said she followed procedure. "I didn't fire him and I didn't suspend him," Miller said during the meeting. "I said we weren't going to schedule him more hours until the investigation was done." The board’s personnel committee met Tuesday morning to discuss the allegations against Myatt and the investigation.

County Treasurer Deb Cherry, who asked commissioners to enter into a representation agreement with a Troy-based law firm, said she’s not expecting the lawsuit to cost more than $1,000 initially. Cherry has said Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac could be responsible for about $450,000 in unpaid transfer taxes. The treasurer has said both companies have claimed they were exempt from paying the taxes, but

“recently the state treasurer has issued guidance to local officials that they are not exempt under the (law) and that transfer taxes should be collected.”

CHARGING Station to open along I-75

Kirk Richardson said due to the physical limitations of the property, a maximum of two chargers can be installed at the Park and Ride. Township manager Keith Edwards said because the electric charger will be installed on public property, the township is not allowed to charge any kind of fee to use the chargers.

This means the township cannot legally put a meter system on the charger. The township will monitor the usage for five years, then reassess whether or not it wants to continue offering the service. “If we decided this is an endeavor we can no longer continue, we would remove the chargers,”

Richardson said. The Grand Blanc area also is home to the first solar-powered car charging station in the country being tested by General Motors for its electric Chevy Volt. Al Serra Auto Plaza in Grand Blanc installed a solar canopy and charging stations at the dealership last June.

Pierson Road, about 3 p.m. and demanded money from a teller, stating he had a weapon and would use it, according to a release by township police. The suspect left the bank with an unknown amount of money and fled on foot southbound through the parking lot. A K-9 team tracked for about an hour finding clothing, money and other evidence believed to be linked to the robbery. The suspect was tracked to Flushing. He was arrested.

Juvenile lifers lawsuit shines needed light on Michigan’s kid criminals A federal lawsuit in Detroit is shining a harsh, and needed, light on a consequence of an ever-hardening public attitude toward criminals in Michigan. With 358, Michigan has the nation’s second-highest number of inmates serving life sentences in prison without the possibility of parole for crimes they committed as juveniles. “Juvenile Lifers.” That’s what this newspaper, six other Booth newspapers in Michigan and MLive. com called the criminals in a collaborative series of articles published this week. It’s an eye-opening report on kid criminals who society has locked up and then thrown away the key. Some committed truly heinous acts of murder. Others are in prison for life for driving getaway cars while their murderer accomplices copped a plea and decades later are free once again. Some were sent to prison before they were even old enough to drive. The American Civil Liberties Union is suing, calling Michigan’s juvenile lifer sentences cruel and unusual punishment, a violation of the U.S. Constitution. The lawsuit seeks parole reviews for juvenile lifers once they reach the age of 21, and then every five years. There’s no harm in reviewing the cases of such inmates periodically, nor of holding out the possibility that some might get a chance to build a life as a free adult — an opportunity they cut short with their crimes. That’s more — much more — than their victims ever got. The murdered and those who survive them will never get a second chance. And truly, some juvenile lifers have earned every day that they will live behind bars for the rest of their lives. But what about the kid who drove the getaway car? Or the teen who served as an accomplice to murder in any of a number of ways, without actually swinging the knife or pulling the trigger? Michigan law, written long ago for adults, treats them all the same. Convicted of first-degree murder, accomplices and murderers get mandatory life sentences in prison without the possibility of parole. It’s a harsh, and frankly just, punishment for adults who presumably are capable of determining the difference between right and wrong; adults who should have considered the consequences of their actions and turned away before committing murder or helping a killer. Yet, there are good reasons why society doesn’t let juveniles vote in elections, smoke tobacco or sign legal documents until they have reached the age of 18, or to drink alcohol until they are 21. Teens aren’t considered fully mature or capable of making weighty decisions until they have reached these milestone ages. The U.S. Supreme Court in 2005 recognized that, and research indicating that adolescents have an immature sense of responsibility, when it ruled death sentences for juveniles ages 17 and younger unconstitutional. Meanwhile, Michigan’s virtual death sentence, life in prison without parole, has been applied to younger and younger criminals since 1988. That was the year laws were changed to charge 15- and 16year-olds as adults for serious crimes. Before that, 17-year-olds were the only minors charged as adults. In 1997, the bar was lowered further still, allowing 14-year-olds to be charged as adults, and judges were no longer allowed the option of sentencing minors in serious crimes to juvenile detention with release at age 21. Michigan has taken the judging away from its judges in cases where the wisdom of Solomon is

Juvenile lifers at a glance Juveniles sentenced to life in prison without parole tend to be male, black and to have committed their crimes in the 1980s and 1990s.

needed most. It’s not that these juvenile lifers deserve anything, much less a parole hearing. But in a criminal justice system that does make allowances for adults who may be incompetent to stand trial, for example, there should be room to periodically review the cases of juveniles too young to make adult decisions, yet forced to choose between plea bargains versus trials. Some gambled on trials and lost, after losing a chance to plead to a lesser offense and an opportunity decades later for parole. This even though they never would have been allowed through the doors of a casino.

FROM THE WEB

Why Michigan has more juvenile life sentences than almost any other state http://www.mlive.com/news/index.ssf/2011/11/why_ michigan_has_more_juvenile.html For The Flint Journal Story posted Nov. 6 on MLive.com They were teenagers once, and did horrible things, or were in horrible places. People died. Sometimes at their hands; sometimes not. But they were present. And for that, they were told they will die, too, in prison. These are Michigan’s “juvenile lifers,” although most are much older now, sentenced to life in prison without chance of parole. And there are more in this state than in almost any other. There is Keith Maxey, wounded in a drug theft gone bad. He was unarmed and fled, but another man was killed. A jury found the 16-year-old just as responsible as if he had pulled the trigger. Except the shooter got a lighter sentence. There, too, are identical twins David and Michael Samel, arrested at 17 for beating a pool hall worker to death. Michael pleaded to a reduced charge and was released in 2009. David took his chances with a jury. He is in the 30th year of life without parole. And there is Cedric King, 14 when he helped set up a marijuana thief to be killed. Except the court thought he was a year older, and the victim survived. Still, confusion has persisted for years over whether he was given the state’s severest punishment, or something less, a Booth Michigan investigation found. As a federal judge in Detroit weighs whether such sentences are unconstitutional, reporters from seven newspapers and MLive.com spread out across the state.

Letter: Our democracy is being replaced by an oligarchy Voice: Jess Watson, Swartz Creek This old guy was born and raised in the Midwestern United States. I am a military veteran (enlisted) and have never been affiliated with a political party or movement. Over the past few decades, I have been increasingly disgusted and alarmed to see our nation’s wealth and power gradually controlled by fewer and fewer people as the middle class has been eliminated. Globally, we have always proclaimed that democracy was the only justifiable form of government. Yet, our democratic government is completely gone as an ever smaller number of people, primarily in New York and Washington, dictate to the 99 percent. If, in this situation, I strongly protest as to how our nation is being run, don’t label me a “leftist.” I am a diehard, middle-of the road American, nauseated and very angry to behold our exemplary democracy being replaced by an oligarchy. The actions seen as terribly wrong and criminal for the Gadhafi-type are apparently very much OK for our elitist 1 percent!

Support of Snyder vehicle fees, gas taxes a surprise Voice: Jim Edmonds, Linden Flushing state Sen. John Gleason was quoted in the Detroit Free Press as supporting Snyder’s increase in license plate fees and gas taxes: “Higher registration fees would be a tough sell, but nobody likes the condition of the roads,” Gleason said. “If people can be assured that the money will be spent on asphalt and not administration, I think the public will buy it.” Huh? Reward the guv for never-ending road projects such as Interstate 75, throwing our good money (increased taxes) after bad? Sen. Gleason, maybe you should inform your constituents here of your support of Snyder instead of talking in Detroit.

Occupy and Tea Party comparisons way off base Voice: Neil Blom, Grand Blanc “We’re not sure what they want:” The first line in the Oct. 27 editorial. And the last line is, “We’ll fist bump that.” It seems that the plan the Occupiers have is “let’s have a demonstration and think later why.” And comparing this group to the Tea Party! Tea Partiers didn’t pound drums all night in NYC or defecate in public places, or require city sanitation workers to clean up the filth so they could go back and do it all again. Or require police to remove law-breaking demonstrators, as in California with mob control methods. How can you equate Occupy with the Tea Party? Talk about oranges and apples. Ask any one of the demonstrators to define “corporate greed” and wait for the answer. Have them read Thomas More’s “Utopia.” The New York encampment accepted $500,000 and promptly put it in the bank of the 1 Percent. And you wonder why so many have quit subscribing to The Journal.

Ranger’s firing over ticket was most unfair Voice: Dolores Hunt, Genesee Township A park ranger was fired because he gave a ticket to the husband of the president of NAACP. Mr. Gilcreast didn’t stop for a fire truck. Then he wouldn’t stop for the park rangers. If that was you or I, we would still be sitting in jail. To top it off, the prosecutors in Genesee and Ingham counties recused themselves in the case. This is the most unfair thing I ever heard of. An officer is fired doing his job. What makes Mr. Gilcrest so special?

Macy’s strategy of tailoring its merchandise selection to local markets is paying off. The company reported thirdquarter earnings of $139 million, up from $10 million a year earlier. Its earnings per share of 32 cents was twice as much as the forecast of 16 cents from financial analysts. Revenue of $5.85 billion was just below the analysts’ forecast of $5.87 billion.

Macy’s has been stocking its stores with merchandise that is targeted to specific regions. For example, its stores in the Washington, D.C., area have more business suits than stores in other areas. The company raised its forecast for its earnings for the full year. It’s now predicting it will earn between $2.70 and $2.75 a share. That’s up from its previous estimate of $2.60 to $2.65.

‘Calcium Cocktail’ A d d s Ye a r s B a c k To Yo u r L i f e !

Millions of people suffer from hip fractures, bone spurs, muscle spasms, insomnia, mood swings, and weight problems and have no idea they are all indications that calcium is not working properly in their body. “These are all signs that you may be calcium deficient even if you’re taking a calcium supplement.” states Dr. Frederic Vagnini. “The problem is simple. Taking a calcium supplement can actually be bad for you IF your body is not absorbing the calcium into the Dr. Frederic Vagnini is bones.

That’s why Vagnini has become the spokesperson for the only U.S. manufacturer providing a risk free supply of the world’s first ‘smart calcium’ along with a free copy of his special report Your Bone and Heart Health. This controversial report includes the full details of why your calcium supplement may NOT be working and could actually be harming your health. ‘Health Cocktail’ Ends Absorption Problem! “Regular calcium supplements do not signal the body to transport the calcium to the proper places. This “health cocktail” is cutting-edge nutrition; providing the most complex bone and cardiovascular support benefits.“ says Dr. Vagnini. It literally tells the calcium to get out of the arteries and get into the bones. IntellikalTM is created with a special blend of essential ingredients making it ‘smart’ because it tells the body exactly what to do with the calcium; allowing it to be properly delivered to the bones so it doesn’t build-up in the arteries. “Without this combination the calcium is dumb and very little is absorbed by your bones.” continues Dr. Vagnini. Smart Calcium Boosts Absorption 40% Intellikal has been dubbed ‘smart calcium’’ because of the unique co-factors that not only enhance absorption by 40% but also insure that the calcium and magnesium in the formula are delivered to the proper muscles and tissues in the body. "I started taking IntelliKalTM and within the first week,I started to feel the difference. I'm now entering my 2nd month and will continue to take

this product as it makes me feel young again. I'm telling all of my friends and family..." Susan .L. - Oh Fountain of Youth Dries Up? Two of the primary minerals in the body, calcium and magnesium, affect over 300 bio-chemical reactions. Hundreds of studies have shown that they can keep the body young by helping to normalize blood pressure, reduce excess fat storage, build strong bones, and even help with blood sugar balance. But when these two minerals go out of balance in the body they can cause many problems and lead to premature aging. “Your body’s literally thirsting for these minerals. Low energy and problems sleeping, muscle cramps, restless legs, extra fat around your belly and hips, high blood pressure, cholesterol and some diabetic issues can all be linked to a lack of improper calcium and magnesium absorption,” comments Dr. Vagnini. Japanese Breakfast Food Magnifies Calcium Benefits One solution may be in a popular Japanese breakfast food, called Natto. Natto was recently linked to the lower rates of heart disease and hip fractures in Japan. In clinical studies this Natto bean extract, known as K2, was able to dramatically enhance the effectiveness of calcium in the body. IntelliKalTM, one of the only calcium formulas to use this “missing link”, is used by Dr. Vagnini in his practice. K2 is the main ingredient in the formula that helps make up the world’s first SMART calcium. Proven Bone Building Results In the landmark Rotterdam clinical study of 2004, K2 was shown to actually reverse bone loss and improve cardiovascular health. 4,807 elderly men and women were given large quantities of the natural vitamin K2 (Natto extract) and results showed a reduced risk of both arterial calcification. Dr. Vagnini weighs in, “K2 is essential to build strong bones. It activates proteins that inhibit calcium deposits in your arteries. Most promising is that it can help re-grow healthy bone. Ban Tummy Fat The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism states, “Increasing calcium intake can significantly help weight and fat loss during dieting.” This is one of many studies proving calcium can aid in weight loss, especially around the midsection. The problem is that without proper absorption the “belly fat benefits” can’t be achieved. This is another reason Intellikal can be viewed as a virtual “health cocktail” by including calcium boosters like K2 and Vitamin D3. By combining these nutrients into one formula users can experience more than

Japanese Natto Beans just a reduction in belly fat but also improvements with cardiovascular health, blood pressure, and diabetes because they are all related to excess fat storage. Banish Muscle Cramps The National Institute of Health states that, “too little magnesium leads to fatigue, weakness, numbness, tingling in the hands and feet, muscle cramps, and even coronary spasms.” Intellikal includes the proper ratio of calcium to magnesium which is further enhanced by the K2 so that many will experience reduced muscle tension and stiffness in the body; both help improve sleep. “You’re probably so calcium deficient that you’ll feel some pretty amazing benefits with the first bottle of IntelliKal. This is an all-natural supplement.” states Dr. Vagnini. Results in Two Weeks? “If you have muscle cramps, leg spasms, tension headaches, high blood pressure, low energy, even if you have trouble sleeping you need IntelliKal™, promises Dr. Vagnini.

McMillin, R-Rochester Hills, was tapped by House Speaker Jase Bolger to replace Scott as head of the Education Committee. He said GOP lawmakers are not intimidated. “If anyone thinks I’m going to back down, they are greatly mistaken,” he said. “To me, leaving children in failing schools is unconscionable. I’m not going to be sidelined in my efforts to help kids and give parents more choices.” The Education Committee canceled its Wednesday meeting. The committee has been listening to testimony on bills that would lift the cap on universityapproved charter schools and allow more online “cyber schools.” Those bills already have cleared the state Senate. The House also still has to vote on a “parent trigger” that would convert failing traditional schools to charters if demanded by parents or teachers. State Sen. Phil Pavlov, RSt. Clair Township, chairs the Senate Education Committee. He said he’s not worried about the union turning its focus on him. “We have important

work still to do, including looking at accreditation and teacher evaluations,” Pavlov said. “We have the momentum, and we’re going to be deliberate and do it right.” Bolger believes the slim voter margin in no way reflects a mandate to back away from Republicans’ course, spokesman Ari Adler said. “What we saw there was the result of a special interest pouring money and resources into a single election,” Adler said. Some Democratic lawmakers say they opposed the recall and expect Republicans to move forward with plans targeting six Democrats, possibly on the February ballot with the Republican presidential primary. “I’m not celebrating,” said state Rep. Brandon Dillon, D-Grand Rapids, one of the six. “We’re going to have some genuine policy debates, and the best place to settle that is with the ballot box at a regularly scheduled election.” Dillon said the recalls have become “a political weapon. I suspect there will be consequences.”

SCOTT MEA says vote shows public fed up with Republicans in Lansing

and the GOP control of both chambers of the Legislature — spurred a flurry of recall activity across the state. Even Snyder was a recall target. Plans to do away with business taxes while cutting K-12 funding and taxing pensions angered many. As chair of the House Education Committee, Scott was an obvious target. Along with supporting Snyder’s budget, he played an instrumental role in teacher tenure reform that passed during the summer. He also publicly bashed the Michigan Education Association, the state’s largest teachers union. The MEA made Scott its public enemy No. 1 and flooded the locally-organized recall effort with $140,000. Scott responded by collecting nearly twice that from donors that included lobbies representing education reform and businesses. As other recall efforts fell by the wayside, only one — Scott’s — remained. And despite months of court challenges to the recall effort, Scott’s fate was put to the voters Tuesday. “This isn’t just a victory for the 51st District. ... (This is for) everyone in the state of Michigan who felt Republicans have attacked our schools, (our) middle class,” MEA spokesman Doug Pratt said following Scott’s concession. Lansing was paying special attention to southern Genesee County on Tuesday. Many saw the recall as a referendum on Snyder and the Republicans. But leading Republicans say they refuse to be intimidated by the recall. “Those who recalled Paul Scott should not see it as some sort of mandate against a reform agenda,” said House Republican spokesman Ari Adler. The recall could mean Republicans now are out for revenge against the MEA and others who worked to oust Scott, said Bill Ballenger, editor of the Inside Michigan Politics newsletter. “I thought all along this was a war (the MEA) could not win,” Ballenger said. “I think ultimately they’re going to pay a price for this. It’s conceivable this could have been the worse result for the MEA and the recallers than if Scott beat the recall.” Republicans still enjoy strong control in Lansing. Although Scott said he

Rep. Paul Scott speaks with the media as Prudy Adam, chairman of the Republican party in Genesee County, watches after his concession speech to the recall effort at his recall headquarters in Grand Blanc. accepts the loss and won’t pursue a recount, House Republicans are hiring an elections expert to review the votes and address concerns they have fielded about how ballots were handled in some precincts, Adler said. Adler said they are simply ensuring voters’ rights were upheld at the polling places. If any problems are discovered, they will address them at the time. Snyder spokeswoman Sara Wurfel said the governor plans to “forge ahead with our efforts to reinvent Michigan.” “This was not about Rick Snyder or the Republican agenda,” Wurfel said. “This was about entrenched special interests wanting to preserve the status quo and putting politics ahead of reform. We don’t think Michiganders want to go back to the old ways of doing things that clearly weren’t working.” Recall organizer Bobbie Walton of Davison said recall supporters are thrilled with the outcome, even if the margin of victory was small. “Winning a horse race is winning a horse race,” Walton said. “I don’t care if it’s by a nose or by three lengths.” The attention the race drew and the campaigning surrounding it brought voters out in big numbers. Overall, the 51st District saw 31 percent of voters cast a ballot. Fenton Township resident Mary Wren said she voted to recall Scott because of his support of education cuts and pension taxes. “They always say the schools are the future, then they cut the schools,”

What now for Scott? State Rep. Paul Scott, R-Grand Blanc, lost his job in a recall election Tuesday by less than 200 votes out of more than 24,000 cast. A quick look at what happens next:

2012, the next regularly scheduled election date. Candidates must live in the 51st District. There is a process for third party candidates to enter the election if they are interested.

Is Scott out of office yet? Technically, no. Sometime in the next few days to a week, the Genesee County Board of Canvassers and the Board of State Canvassers will meet to officially certify the election. Once this happens, Scott will no longer be a state representative.

Can Scott run in the special election? No.

How will a replacement be selected? After the election is certified, Genesee County’s Democratic and Republican parties will have 15 days to each select a candidate to run in a special election. The special election will be Feb. 28, Wren said. “That don’t make sense to me.” Another township resident, Marvin Bosworth, said he voted no on the recall because Scott won his term fair and square and should be allowed to finish it. “Why don’t we leave him there and let him do his job?” he said. Once state officials certify Tuesday’s election, which is expected to happen in the coming days, Scott will officially be out of a job. Scott said he hopes to

Who will take Scott’s House seat until the special election? No one. After the recall election is certified, the seat will be vacant until the winner of the February special election is sworn in. When can Scott run again for the House? The earliest Scott can run again for the House is next fall in the regular 2012 election.

A special election in February will name a replacement to finish the remaining months of his term. For now, Scott said he will take some time off to spend time with his family and take the Michigan bar exam in February. He’ll spend some time reflecting on whether he wants to run to take back his seat next November, when it will be up for grabs again. “There’s an election in a year,” he said. “My heart’s in public service.”

Young adults

JONATHAN OOSTING FOR THE FLINT JOURNAL

In the eyes of the state, Dontez Tillman acted as an adult when he and a group of teenage friends beat a homeless man to death behind a Pontiac bar. But at critical moments leading to his conviction, the middle-school student was treated as a child. He was 14 when police allowed his mother to sit beside and scold him during interrogation. He was 15 when she advised him — for the second time — to reject a plea deal that would have resulted in a reduced sentence. Now 17, Tillman still is not adult, but he holds a unique distinction. Of more than 3,300 prisoners in Michigan serving mandatory life, Tillman was the youngest at the time of his crime: 14 years, two months and 25 days. Just two years in, he’s pining to get out. But Tillman isn’t mad at police, or prosecutors, or the judge who sentenced. He is mad at the courtroom where he sat silent as adults debated his future, and where he wept when he learned his fate. “I’ll never forget that court in all my life,” Tillman says during a recent interview at Thumb Correctional Facility in Lapeer. “When I first came into prison, I had a dream that I destroyed that courtroom. Not anybody in it. Just the courtroom. “It was talking to me.”

The crime Michigan has 358 juvenile lifers, more than all but one other state. Most are much older now, adults imprisoned for decades and long forgotten by most everyone but the victims’ loved ones. But Tillman’s arrest, trial and punishment made national headlines, captivating a public that wondered how anyone so young could kill — and in such a ruthless fashion. He and his best friend, Thomas McCloud — just six months older — automatically were charged as adults under Michigan law in the death of Wilford “Frenchie” Hamilton. A security guard found Hamilton, 61, unconscious and bleeding from the head in an alley Aug. 21,

2008. He died a week later. Separately, McCloud and a 16-year-old also were charged in the beating death of a second 61year-old homeless man that same week. The group was accused, but not charged, in two other nonfatal attacks. “They were boys who beat up homeless people because they wanted to,” Oakland County Prosecutor Jessica Cooper said. Tillman admits he and his friends dealt drugs, stole cars and robbed people but denies they targeted defenseless victims for sport. “That’s not exciting to kill the homeless,” he says from prison, agitated by the suggestion. “That’s not fun. People remind me of that every day. That’s not me.” At trial, Pontiac Detective Steve Wittebort testified Tillman admitted to kicking and hitting a man three to four times before he told his friends to stop, then ran off. Before interrogation, Tillman waived his right Dontez to an attorney, Tillman but police allowed his mother to sit in. She encouraged him to describe his role, and chided him when he admitted it, transcripts show. “You’re going to get in trouble ’cause you were in it too,” Darlene Tillman said at the time. “I just told y’all last week, don’t be with them. Don’t be bothering nobody. Don’t be doing nothing to nobody.” Looking back, Tillman says he was confused during the interrogation. He may have assaulted a man that week, he says, but he believes that victim survived. “I know I did things out there I’m not proud of,” he says, “and I know I have to change. I think God tested me to change my life. If I’d stayed out there, I would be dead or have got into something else.” Separate juries convicted Tillman and McCloud of first-degree felony murder, meaning they participated in a crime where someone was killed. McCloud became the third-youngest juvenile lifer in the state. Michigan law required both be

sentenced to life without the possibility of parole. “You and your co-defendant literally kicked a man to death,” visiting Oakland County Circuit Court Judge Steven Andrews told Tillman, apparently outraged at the crime but frustrated by the sentencing requirement. “This is a sad day for the criminal justice system, the person you killed and his family.” Tillman’s mother ran from the courtroom in tears. Dontez also wept as he hung his head. “I just felt so many people was judging me,” he recalls. “I didn’t even want to look around. I was so embarrassed. Yeah, I was crying. If somebody tells you ‘life’ and you don’t cry, you are a murderer. That’s not me.”

Life in prison Like many 17year-olds, Tillman spends his days doing chores, taking classes, playing sports, listening to his MP3 player and watching TV. But he does so in prison, Thomas where the threat of McCloud violence is part of his otherwise monotonous routine. “It gets tiring and boring, always doing the same thing,” he says, sitting in a crowded visitor’s area. “But I know what I’m into, and the structure keeps us out of trouble.” Until he turns 21, Tillman will live in the juvenile unit, where is he working on his G.E.D., taking other classes and studying the Bible. He sees McCloud every day. They remain best friends, but do not talk about spending life in prison. “It’s depressing and embarrassing,” he says. “We talk about what we could do if we got out, not stay in. It just pulls you down. You don’t want to feel like that. You want to look forward.” Tillman has made a few friends in prison, but largely heeds the advice of his sentencing judge: Keep to himself; stay out of trouble. Authorities cited him for two instances of fighting early on, but he is working hard to keep his record clean. “Classes helped my behav-

Lesson learned?

JONATHAN OOSTING FOR THE FLINT JOURNAL

For many teens coming of age in the early 1960s, the world looked large and growing. President John F. Kennedy battled communism abroad, Walter Cronkite made world news accessible, and John Glenn became the first American to orbit the Earth. But for Sheldry Topp, the world was small, with detention homes, mental health facilities and whippings with an extension cord when he dared stray from home to play. And when Topp thrust a kitchen knife into a stranger’s neck, the world began to look even smaller. He has spent the past 49 years behind bars. Now 67, Topp is Michigan’s oldest inmate serving life without the possibility of parole for a crime committed as a minor. “Basically, I was raised in prison,” Topp says during a recent interview at an Upper Peninsula prison, speaking in quiet tones as he describes his crime, life and hopes for the future. “But I’ve changed,” he says. “I’m confident I can be a productive member of society. That’s what I want to be more than anything.” As the state’s oldest juvenile lifer, Topp’s story cuts to the heart of the debate over the state’s mandatory sentencing laws: Can young killers grow into responsible adults? And if they can, is it good policy to keep them in prison for the rest of their lives? “Nobody wants to see this happen,” said Oakland County Prosecutor Jessica Cooper. “Nobody wants to live in a state where we spend more money incarcerating people than we do educating them. “But there are some people — I tell you this as a prosecutor and former judge — that need to be incarcerated.”

One path to freedom Topp was 17 when he ran away from the state mental hospital in Pontiac, broke into a nearby residence, and stabbed the hom-

eowner four times during what he described as an unexpected scuffle. He grabbed a set of car keys and fled the state. His victim — who he later learned was a respected attorney for Oakland County named Charles Davis — bled out. The FBI caught Topp in Chicago, and he was convicted of first-degree murder. Barring a successful appeal, a prisoner serving natural life faces a single, unlikely path to freedom: A governor’s commutation. Topp attempted to navigate that path several times, most recently in 2008, when the Parole Board heard testimony during a public hearing at G. Robert Cotton Correctional Facility near Jackson. Transcripts detail the proceedings. “He’s a rational person, he’s an intelligent person, and I believe that he, if given the opportunity, he can make a difference in some young men and women’s lives,” Raymond Topp told the parole board, explaining how his brother had matured since his incarceration. No one from Davis’ family spoke. The prosecutor and judge from his trial died long ago. But representatives for the Oakland County prosecutor and Michigan’s attorney general opposed release. “There’s just a nagging feeling in me that, that there’s something that could snap in this individual again,” said Oakland Assistant Prosecutor John Pallas. Topp told the board he had a hard time remembering details, but said he thought Davis’ house was empty when he entered. That differed from his 1962 admission, when he told authorities he spent two hours waiting for Davis to retire for the evening before breaking in, an omission Pallas characterized as an attempt to downplay premeditation. In either case, Topp said Davis surprised him. Using a knife he grabbed from the kitchen, Topp stabbed him four times in the neck and chest. He did not expect Davis would die, he said, but mimicking scenes he’d seen in movies, he dismantled the phone

ior and my education,” he said. “When I was 15, it was wild in here, but it showed me I could be a better man, that violence isn’t the way I want to live.”

Plea deals, unusual punishment He didn’t have to face life. Prosecutors offered Tillman a deal — before trial and again during jury deliberation — that would have imprisoned him as little as 15 years if he pleaded to seconddegree murder. Tillman’s mother told him to refuse, and he listened. Darrin Higgins Jr., the 15-yearold who was prosecuted separately with McCloud, accepted a similar deal. His earliest release date is in 16 years. “I think there’s no question my client should have taken the deal and shouldn’t be serving a life sentence without parole,” said Jonathan Sacks, Tillman’s appellate lawyer, during a motion hearing last year. “The ringleader of the group, who was the one behind this homicide, he knows enough to plead guilty, and he gets a very reasonable sentence for a really horrific offense.” Sacks asked Circuit Court Judge Rudy Nichols to declare Tillman’s sentence cruel and unusual punishment for a 14-year-old, “who by the prosecutor’s own admission did not have intent to kill.” “I can understand nobody wants to give up on a young person,” said Cooper, the Oakland prosecutor who spent 28 years as a judge before being elected to her current post. “I understand that philosophy, but I have also had life experiences and ran into a couple young people who were sociopaths. I think that sociopaths are born. I don’t think that they’re made.” Tillman, who is growing into a man but still uses pop-culture references like a teen, wants a second chance to challenge such assumptions. “I want somebody to look at me and see a good person, but they don’t trust that we can change,” he said. “How can somebody be born a killer? That’s like Jason (from Friday the 13th), but even he went through some things. Nobody is born to kill. Nobody.”

Sheldry Topp, 67, remains in prison for crime committed as a juvenile

before leaving, cutting off his victim’s chance to call help. Assistant Attorney General H. Steven Langschwager pointed out two pre-arrest transgressions in Topp’s file and said he did not believe the prisoner felt remorse. “I’ve always been remorseful,” Topp said, even as he admitted he had difficulty expressing his feelings. “People might not perceive me as being remorseful. And I never understood how people go about showing remorse. I could break down and cry and so forth. People say that’s crocodile tears. I could yell and scream, and people would say that’s putting on a show.” Eight of 10 parole board members recommended Topp’s release. Then-Gov. Jennifer Granholm denied his request.

of my thinking with my feelings. ”I had no self-esteem whatsoever, but I got it from talking to other people and realizing I wasn’t the worst person in the world.” Topp earned certificates in welding, plumbing, machine shop, drafting, reading, drawing, auto mechanics and basic computer programs. He took courses in impulse control, completed the Dale Carnegie leadership program and earned a handful of college credits before the option was eliminated. “I was lucky,” Topp says. “Rehabilitation isn’t part of the corrections vocabulary anymore.” Even after eliminating many of the rehabilitative programs Topp praised, Michigan spends more than $32,000 a year on each prisoner, according to a 2008 report by the Pew Center for the States.

Ohio voters KO anti-labor bill, demonstrating

Unions still a political force

SAM HANANEL THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — Labor unions are celebrating one of their biggest victories in decades after turning back an Ohio law that curbed collective bargaining rights for the state’s public workers. The vote showed unions are still a potent political force that can’t be ignored. The question for many is whether to interpret Tuesday’s Ohio referendum simply as a rejection of Republican overreach in a heavily unionized state or more broadly as a barometer of a battleground state that could resonate with voters nationwide. Union leaders say they hope it brings about a resurgence for a labor movement long in decline and sends a strong message to other states where lawmakers are thinking about restricting union rights. But they also want to use the outcome as a spark to help re-elect President Barack Obama and put more Democrats in office next year. “The outcome is an absolute momentum-shifting victory for the labor movement,” said Harold Schaitberger, president of the International Association of Firefighters. If unions succeed next year in recalling Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, a top target after he pushed through similar legislation limiting union rights in his state, Schaitberger predicted “tremendous impact across the country.” By a nearly 2-1 margin, Ohio voters repealed a new law that would have severely limited the bargaining rights of more than 350,000 teachers, firefighters,

workers the ability to negotiate pensions and health care benefits. We Are Ohio, the largely union-funded opponent coalition, painted the issue as a threat to public safety and middle-class workers, spending millions on TV ads filled with images of firefighters, police officers, teachers and nurses. “It’s a huge victory. It can’t be underestimated,” said Doug Schoen, a Democratic strategist who worked for President Bill Clinton. “But unions will try to read it broadly, and I don’t think it is. “I think it’s a repudiation of efforts to get rid of collective bargaining — no more, no less.” Kasich said he respects the voters’ decision and will spend time reflecting on the result. Ohio Republican Party Chairman Kevin DeWine criticized Democrats for not offering an alternative plan to deal with revenue shortfalls.

Pushing the high-speed superhighway Cable companies to offer $9.95 broadband for poor homes

PETER SVENSSON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — Cable companies said they will offer Internet service for $9.95 per month to homes with children that are eligible for free school lunches. The offer, announced Wednesday, will start next summer and is part of an initiative the Federal Communications Commission cobbled together to get more U.S. homes connected to broadband. One third, or about 35 million homes, don’t have broadband. That affects people’s ability to educate themselves and find and apply for jobs, FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski said.

Europe a drag on GM profit

“The broadband adoption gap in the U.S. is very large, and the costs of digital exclusion are high and getting higher,” he said. The initiative, called Connectto-Compete, also includes Microsoft Corp., which pledges to sell PCs with its Office software suite for $250 to low-income families. A firm called Redemtech is offering to sell refurbished computers for $150, including shipping. For those who can’t afford those prices, Morgan Stanley is pledging to develop a microfinance lending program for community-based financial institutions. People are signing up for broadband, but growth in recent years has slowed. For those who still

haven’t signed up, cost is a minor factor. Most say they’re simply not interested or don’t need it, according to a report by the Commerce Department based on Census Bureau data from last year. All major cable companies are behind the $9.95 offer, which will be valid for two years. The price excludes taxes, but the companies are pledging to charge nothing for installation or modem rental. The minimum download speed will be 1 megabit per second, less than one tenth of average cable speeds. A spokesman for the National Cable & Telecommunications Association said it is up to the individual cable companies to decide what speeds they provide.

DETROIT — The fragile European economy is dragging down General Motors’ profits, forcing its management to look at more cost cuts and ways to boost revenue in the struggling region. GM said Wednesday that its third-quarter net income fell 15 percent from a year earlier, pulled down by losses in Europe and South America and weak earnings in all areas except North America and China. The company’s shares fell 9.5 percent to $22.67 in afternoon trading as GM executives were forced to back off of an earlier prediction that the company would break even before taxes in Europe this year. Europe faces a financial crisis and could slip into recession. Growth is slow in several key nations. Italy, the region’s third-biggest economy, is bucking under the weight of government debt. Greece faces default unless it can accept a new debt deal. The region’s economy faces deep cuts by over-indebted governments, high unemployment, stingier bank lending and declining exports. GM CEO Dan Akerson told industry analysts that the company’s performance in Europe is partially because of slower sales “which itself is a manifestation of Europe’s economic morass.” Net income fell to $1.7 billion in the quarter, or $1.03 per share, compared with $2 billion, or $1.20 per share, a year earlier. General Motors Co. posted a pretax loss of $292 million in Europe. Its profit rose slightly in North America to $2.2 billion, but earnings at its international operations, including China, fell 29 percent to $365 million. South American operations also swung to a loss of $44 million for the quarter.

Toyota recalls 550,000 cars over steering THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TOKYO — Toyota Motor Corp. said Wednesday it is recalling about 550,000 vehicles worldwide — mostly in the United States — for problems that could make it harder to steer. The recall affects 447,000 vehicles in North America. Toyota spokesman Dion Corbett said there have been no reports of accidents or injuries related to the problems. Toyota’s U.S. sales unit said in a news release that there is a possibility that the outer ring of the engine’s crankshaft pulley may become misaligned with the inner ring, causing noise or a warning signal to light up. If the problem isn’t corrected, the belt for the power steering pump may become detached from the pulley, making it suddenly more difficult to turn the driving wheel. In the U.S., the automaker is recalling 283,200 Toyota brand cars, including the 2004 and 2005 Camry, Highlander, Sienna and Solara, the 2004 Avalon and the 2006 Highlander HV. Its recall of 137,000 Lexus vehicles includes the 2004 and 2005 ES330 and RX330 and 2006 RX400h. Recall notifications will be mailed starting in January.

Laws were reaction to the times ANGELA WITTROCK FOR THE FLINT JOURNAL

It was the late 1980s and crack cocaine and gangs were on the rise in Michigan’s cities. Drug traffickers established a sales force of juveniles, most of whom lived in poverty and were all too eager to make fast cash. Violent crimes committed by juveniles skyrocketed. In one year, Michigan’s homicide rate among juveniles increased from 14 per 100,000 in 1986 to 32 per 100,000 in 1987. Nationally, the trend was the same. The arrest rate of juveniles for violent offenses rose 78 percent from 1984 to 1994, a Department of Justice report found. Many believed young offenders were committing more-serious crimes knowing they might only be imprisoned until 19, 21 at the oldest. Lawmakers felt they had to act. “(We) wanted to let the thugs know that they can’t hide behind their mother’s apron,” said Burton Leland, a former state representative who helped lead gettough juvenile reforms. Bills approved by the Legislature in 1988 made it easier for prosecutors to charge 15- and 16-yearolds accused of serious crimes as adults. In 1996, lawmakers reformed the law again to make it easier to charge 14-year-olds as well, and added an “adult crime, adult time” mandate that minors charged as adults must be sentenced as adults. For those convicted of a range of crimes under firstdegree murder, the mandatory sentence was life in prison without parole. Michigan’s crackdown mirrored national trends and contributed to a 366 percent increase in the number of juveniles incarcerated in adult prisons from 1983 to 1998, accord-

CASES About 70 juvenile lifers age 14 and younger are in prisons throughout United States

She said the court has been “chipping away” at juvenile sentencing laws, and that victims’ families would be “horrifically retraumatized by parole hearings.” But the decision surprised reformers. Deborah LaBelle, the lead lawyer in a federal lawsuit in Michigan making similar arguments, said the justices had considered the Arkansas and Alabama cases during as many as five “case conferences.” When they are unable to reach agreement after the first few, that usually means the case is unlikely to be accepted, she said. Monday’s announcement, following Friday’s case conference, was “really, really unusual,” LaBelle said. Of more than 7,000 cases the high court is asked to review each year, the court approves and hears arguments in about 70, according to its website. Arguments will be heard next year, and a ruling is expected by summer. It is unclear how the review will impact the case in Detroit. Attor-

ney General Bill Schuette’s office, aware of the potential for review, has asked that the lawsuit be put on hold. Calls for comment from him were not returned Tuesday. LaBelle, who represents the American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan, is asking that it proceed, citing differences from the Supreme Court cases. U.S. District Judge John Corbett O’Meara has not yet ruled. The cases involve different scenarios. In the Alabama case, the 14-yearold and an older juvenile beat a 52year-old man with whom they were drinking and doing drugs, then they set fire to his house. In the Arkansas case, the 14year-old was present during an attempted robbery when another boy shot the clerk. In Michigan, that’s called felony murder. About one-third of the state’s juvenile lifers fall in that category. This is the first time the court has considered juvenile cases involving homicides relative to life sentences, but two decisions extended other relief to inmates 17 and younger. In 2005, the court ruled minors

could not be given the death penalty. In 2010, the court said a minor could not be sentenced to life without parole in nonhomicide cases. In both rulings, the slim 5-4 majority said juveniles’ mental abilities are lesser developed than adults, and the sentences violated the Eighth Amendment protection against cruel and unusual punishment. There are about 70 juvenile lifers 14 and younger nationwide, according to the Equal Justice Initiative, the nonprofit law firm in Alabama that represents the two inmates. Michigan has six cases. Veteran Supreme Court watcher Lyle Denniston agrees the court “would not be likely to confine its ruling to that specific age, but to the entire category of youths who are under age 18. “Its prior rulings limiting punishment for teenagers have used the 18th birthday as the constitutional dividing line,” wrote Denniston, who has covered the court for five decades, on Bloomberg Law’s SCOTUSblog, for Supreme Court of the United States.

missal would be the plaintiff’s failure to show there was a defective condition in the area and the city’s negligence, she said. Attorney Terry Cochran, representing the Anger family, called governmental immunity “one of the more unfair practices” in law. “It’s not that they didn’t do anything wrong, but it’s just that you can’t sue them,” said Cochran, who argued the city and Kray knew of an issue in the area six months prior to Evan’s death and didn’t install additional fencing in the area until after the incident. Among those subpoenaed is Burton resident John M. Dunlap, whose 16-year-old son John H. Dunlap was injured after he struck by a vehicle in September 2009 in the

same location. Dunlap raised concerns about the Court Street crossing to the Burton City Council on Sept. 8, 2009 following his son’s accident. “The way I feel is that the city of Burton could have done something by closing off that catwalk and say, ‘Closed until further notice,’ ” Dunlap said then. “If an official fails to act or doesn’t act and that act is grossly negligent, that individual does not have immunity,” Cochran said. “Our argument is straightforward.” Forbush said “It is an unfortunate accident and I feel bad for the family, but I think there is a strong legal defense the city and Mr. Kray have available.” No court date has been scheduled.

Bedside test finds awareness in vegetative brains

MALCOLM RITTER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK In recent years, scientists have learned that some patients believed to be in a vegetative state actually have some awareness and that they might be able to communicate. Now, a new study suggests a portable brain monitor can detect signs of this, perhaps making it possible someday for doctors to easily doublecheck the diagnosis at the bedside. Researchers used an EEG machine to examine brain waves and found that three of 16 vegetative patients could understand what they heard and follow instructions. EEG machines are far more

common and less expensive than the large functional MRI scanners that have shown awareness in some vegetative patients in previous studies. So they could be set up in a patient’s room, avoiding logistical problems that can make it dangerous or impossible to have a vegetative patient scanned at an fMRI facility, researchers said. “We can take this assessment out into the community, to the patients. ... We can go to that bedside and find out what level of awareness they still have,” said Damian Cruse, of the University of Western Ontario in Canada, an author of the report. The technique also might provide a way for some vegetative patients to communicate. That

could enable them to participate in their treatment planning, express whether they’re in pain, and allow researchers to explore what other mental abilities they have, Cruse and colleague Adrian Owen said. But Owen stressed the technique needs further development before it can be used routinely. The research was published online Wednesday by the Lancet. In a vegetative state, patients are unconscious and unaware of themselves and others, although their eyes are open and they may react reflexively when startled. Nobody knows how many vegetative patients live in hospitals and centers for rehabilitation or longterm care. The diagnosis is made with

tests of patients’ behavior, such as whether they can follow a moving object with their eyes, follow commands or show even a rudimentary ability to communicate. The EEG test involved attaching a cap to each patient’s skull with electrodes to monitor brain waves. Patients were told to imagine squeezing their right hand into a fist or wiggling their toes on both feet whenever they heard a tone. Those mental activities were chosen to create a detectable brain wave signal. Soon after the instructions were given, tones started sounding several seconds apart, and the EEG machine looked for a response to each one. Each patient was asked to imagine both kinds of move-

ment at different times during the assessment. The researchers noted that three of 12 healthy volunteers failed to produce a detectable brain wave signal in response to the commands. It’s not clear why, but that shows that if a vegetative patient doesn’t produce such a signal, it doesn’t necessarily indicate a lack of awareness, the researchers said. Dr. Paul Matthews, a professor of clinical neurosciences at Imperial College in London, said the study leaves unanswered questions. It’s not clear whether patients who give a positive signal in one testing session will continue to do so later on, he said, nor do scientists know what a positive signal means for likelihood of a substantial recovery.

Dems present offer to cut deficit by $2 trillion DAVID ESPO and ANDREW TAYLOR THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — Democrats on Congress’ supercommittee secretly presented Republicans with a revised deficit-cutting proposal earlier this week that calls for a blend of $1 trillion in spending cuts and $1 trillion in higher tax revenue over the next decade, officials in both parties said Wednesday night, adding that compromise talks remain alive though troubled. The previously undisclosed offer scaled back an earlier Democratic demand for $1.3 trillion in higher taxes, a concession to Republicans. At the same time it jettisoned a plan to slow the growth in future cost-of-living increases in Social Security benefits, a provision liberal Democrats oppose. The one-page proposal was handed to Republicans at a meeting Monday night attended by some but not all members of the supercommittee. At the same session,

GOP lawmakers in attendance advanced a revised proposal of their own that signaled for the first time they would be willing to accept higher revenues as part of a plan to cut deficits over the next decade. Given the unusual secrecy of the meeting and the committee’s Nov. 23 deadline to produce at least $1.2 trillion in savings, it appeared that the pace of activity on the panel was accelerating. Less clear was whether there was still time to bridge enormous differences on priorities, or whether each side was laying the groundwork for trying to blame the other in case gridlock triumphs. The committee, comprising six Republicans and six Democrats, has been working for weeks. Evidence of progress has been scarce, with Republicans demanding large cuts in benefit programs such as Social Security and Medicare, while Democrats pressed for additional tax revenue as a condition for agreeing to make deep spending cuts.

Amateur astronomers were the first to spot the trouble when they detected the craft was stuck in an Earth orbit.

the end of the season. Not because he was too old or couldn’t win anymore, but because of a child sex abuse scandal involving a longtime assistant coach and onetime heir-apparent. “Success With Honor” was ending in disgrace, and the tears flowed from behind the thick eyeglasses. “In all the clips I’ve seen of him, I’ve never seen him break down and cry,” quarterback Paul Jones said.

“And he was crying the whole time today.” Cornerback Stephon Morris said some players were nearly in tears themselves. “I still can’t believe it.

NBA talks go down to the wire

Negotiations continue beyond commissioner’s deadline BRIAN MAHONEY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — As Commissioner David Stern’s deadline passed, the NBA and its players continued negotiating Wednesday in an attempt to end the lockout. The two sides met for more than seven hours to try to hash out a deal to save the season. Stern had issued an ultimatum to players: Accept the league’s latest proposal by 5 p.m. ET Wednesday or it will be replaced with a much harsher one that would drive the sides even farther apart. Players said Tuesday they wouldn’t accept the current one as configured and suggested another negotiation session. The current offer calls for players to receive between 49 percent and 51 percent of basketball-related income, though union officials said it would be impossible to get above David Stern 50.2 percent. Players were guaranteed 57 percent of BRI under the previous collective bargaining agreement. The next proposal would call for a 53-47 revenue split in the owners’ favor, essentially a hard salary cap and salary rollbacks, which the league originally sought but had taken off the table. Both proposals were sent to union executive director Billy Hunter on Sunday. The meeting featuring small groups from both sides was arranged Wednesday morning. Failure to make a deal likely would increase the calls for the union to decertify so the players can file a lawsuit against the league in court, a risky and lengthy tactic that likely would doom the 2011-12 season. Union officials have downplayed the idea, but players might have no other leverage once the more severe proposal is put into play. Stern and Deputy Commissioner Adam Silver were joined Wednesday by Spurs owner Peter Holt, the chairman of the labor relations committee, and lawyers Rick Buchanan and Dan Rube. Besides Hunter and president Derek Fisher, vice presidents Roger Mason Jr. and Maurice Evans, economist Kevin Murphy and attorney Jeffrey Kessler. Besides the revenue split, the sides still are divided on elements of the salary cap system, mostly relating to the spending rules for teams that are over the luxury tax level. Players want those teams to remain options for free agents, whereas the league thinks talent would be more evenly distributed throughout the league if payrolls were more balanced.

Warriors’ winless streak reaches 8 games BRENDAN SAVAGE bsavage@flintjournal.com | 810-766-6388

Eight is more than enough for the Michigan Warriors. Way more. The Warriors winless streak reached a club record eight games Wednesday night at Perani Arena, where the Kalamazoo Jr. Wings used a pair of third-period goals to post a 4-3 victory over the Warriors before an estimated 350 North American Hockey League fans. The loss was the Warriors fifth straight in regulation and gave them an 0-7-1 record in their last eight games, when they dropped them from first to third in the NAHL’s North Division. By comparison, the War-

riors never lost more than three straight last season, when they fell in the Robertson Cup championship game during their first year of existence. Kalamazoo’s victory, coupled with Port Huron’s 2-0 loss to Traverse City, moved the Jr. Wings (13-8) into a tie for first place atop the North. The Warriors (109-2) are four points off the pace. The Warriors took a 3-2 lead into the final 20 minutes thanks in part A.J. White’s 10th and 11th goals of the season, but they tried to protect the advantage in the early stages of the period and it cost them as Kalamazoo scored twice in barely three minutes. Nick Kovalchik tied it 3:25 into the period before Andrew Graves scored his second of the game

and 11th of the season 3:03 later to put Kalamazoo ahead for the first and last time. It wasn’t wise for fans to take a bathroom break or visit the concession stands midway through the first period as the teams combined for three goals on three shots in a span of just 83 seconds. White opened the scoring for the Warriors are the 8:49 mark and Kalamazoo needed just 33 seconds to tie it as Kyle Gattelaro (8) connected on the very next shot. But it didn’t take Michigan long to answer, and they regained the lead 50 seconds later when C.J. Murray scored his first goal as a Warrior. The Warriors, who lost their first two games of the season vs. Kalamazoo by a combined score

of 12-4, came out flying and outshot the Jr. Wings by a whopping 22-6 in the first period. White struck again 4:36 into the second to make it 3-1, but Kalamazoo cut the deficit in half midway through the period on Graves’ first of the game. The Warriors, who kicked off a four-game homestand vs. Kalamazoo, host Traverse City Friday and Jamestown Saturday before getting eight days off. Battle cries: Forward Brad Pizzey made his Warriors debut and promptly drew an assist on their first goal. Playing on the Warriors top forward line, he finished with two assists. … Kalamazoo had lost two straight. … New York Rangers scout Larry Bernard was at the game.

New Lothrop looks to remain perfect The 11-0 Hornets have allowed less than 50 points this season ERIC WOODYARD ewoodyard@flintjournal.com | 810-766-6184

No team is perfect. Over the course of a football game, any squad is bound to make several mistakes. Although the New Lothrop Hornets are no exception to this rule, their record certainly doesn’t reflect that. They’re currently sitting at a flawless 11-0 with hopes of keeping it that way. New Lothrop will host Petersburg-Summerfield (8-3) in a Division 8 regional final game Friday at 7:30 p.m. “One thing that kind of sets this team apart from the others is kind of their focus and the attitude that they bring each and every game,” said Clint Galvas, a thirdyear head coach for the Hornets. “Nothing derails them.” The Hornets’ defense has allowed less than 50 points all season. In the playoffs, New Lothrop has defeated teams by a 29.3 point margin. They also shut out five straight opponents in the regular season. New Lothrop’s closest game all year took place in their 13-point district title victory over Ubly. The Hornets beat the Bearcats 21-8 last Friday behind Austin Severn’s 94 rushing yards and his lone touchdown. C.J. Dice led the defense with a team-high 16 tackles while Spencer Gross added 12 tackles plus a crucial second half interception. “The knock a little bit on us has been what are we going to do when we get in a tough or close game?” said Galvas. “Last week we were in that situation against Ubly and things could have went either way, but our guys kept on rolling and didn’t let things bring us down so we came away with a win.” Petersburg-Summerfield isn’t fazed by the Hornets. The Bulldogs are coming off of a 44-38 home victory over Melvindale Academy for Business & Technology with confidence. They can smell an upset. Although there’s no blueprint on how to slow down New Lothrop’s option style offense,

New Lothrop sophomore running back Amari Coleman runs the ball against Byron. The Hornets host PetersburgSummerfield for a regional championship game Friday. Below, senior Austin Severn works on running back skills during individual offense practice at the start of the season. Bulldogs head coach Erik Johnson believes he has a solid formula. “They’re a talented team and they kind of spread the ball around offensively as far as using different weapons,” said Johnson. “Part of keeping a high-octane offense off the ground is keeping them off the field, so we need to win the battle upfront and be strong in all three phases of the game.” Petersburg-Summerfield will rely heavily on star running back Josh Golkiewicz. The 5-foot-9, 165-pound sophomore has rushed for 1,369 yards on 190 carries this season. He has scored 17 rushing touchdowns and has caught one TD pass. Amazingly, Golkiewicz started the season on the junior varsity. He is now on the Hornets’ radar. “I think this will be the toughest team that we’ve faced,” said Galvas. “They’ve got a real strong offensive line, they’re a power team that will run it right at you, and they’ve got a solid running back that is a very patient runner but has very good speed when he gets to the edge. “Our main concern is containing him,” Galvas said of Golkiewicz.

Davison, Midland volleyball clash gives teams SVL preview GREG TUNNICLIFF gtunnicliff@flintjournal.com| 810-766-6184

Davison and Midland’s volleyball teams are going to be in opposite divisions of the new Saginaw Valley Conference next year. The Cardinals will compete in the Valley South while the Chemics will play in the Valley North, meaning the two programs can’t meet in league play. It might be good idea if the schedule maker could somehow pencil in a crossover contest between the two schools. Davison gave the Valley champions all they could Tuesday before losing 25-20, 20-25, 26-24, 25-16 in a Class A regional semifinal contest at Lapeer West. “I would like to see them, they are a great team to play,” Davison coach Tiffany Burghdorf said. “(The Cardinals) know they can compete with those types of teams.” Midland (40-14-1) advanced to the regional final against fourth-ranked Clarkston (53-5) at 7 p.m. today at West. It is the first time the Chemics have advanced to the regional finals since 2008 when they lost to Flushing in three games. “I’m excited for the girls,” Midland coach Tim Zerull said. “We’re excited to go and face Clarkston on Thursday.” The first game Tuesday featured seven lead changes and nine ties before Midland took the lead for good at 12-11. Davison (28-23-4) knotted the match at one game apiece, using a late rally to win the second game. The turning point of the contest came at the end of the third game. Trailing 24-20, Davison won four straight points to tie the score at 24-24. A serving error gave the Chemics a 25-24 lead. They scored the next point to close out the game. “It’s a lot of pressure,” Burghdorf said. “We couldn’t serve-receive, and that hurt us. I told the kids the team that serve-receives the best would win tonight.” Davison seized a 7-2 lead in the fourth game, but Midland went on a 6-0 run and never trailed again. The game was last tied at 12-12 before a 6-1 run by the Chemics put them in control. Taylor Robertson had 13 kills, seven aces and five digs, Lauren Plotzke had seven kills and three blocks, Madison Hennessy had 16 digs and Alex Warner had 13 digs for Midland. Nicole Dolloff had 16 digs, Megan Jones had eight digs and 10 kills, Alexandria Gill had 12 kills and Ali Dowdall had four kills, nine digs and three aces for Davison. “At this time of year, teams are going to play their best and Davison played hard and attacked hard,” Zerull said. “They gave us a match.”

TAYLOR Schmidt didn’t listen to critics

From B1 —

predict that this won’t be his only 40-point game, but Taylor would still like his teammates to produce more on the offensive end In 2009, he graduated from North Lawndale High School in the Chicago Public League. He played alongside current Southern Mississippi forward Jonathan Mills. North Lawndale captured a Class 2A state title in 2008. Taylor was ranked among the top prospects of his graduating class in Illinois but struggled with academics because of his rough surroundings. He spent the 2009-10 season at Chipola College in Marianna, Fla. — averaging 8.8 points, 2.1 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.3 steals — but sat out all of last season while attending Rust College in Mississippi as a part-time student. Schmidt didn’t listen to any of the naysayers, although he says there were many. He formed his own opinion of Taylor. “Whatever those people are judging John on, they aren’t judging the John that I’ve gotten to know, and that’s unfair,” Schmidt said. “A lot of people will look for young people to fail as opposed to trying to find a way for them to succeed, and that’s kind of what John and I have talked about. Failure is not an option here.” Schmidt feels that he has the best junior college basketball player in the country representing his program. He’s reminiscent of another former Mott guard from Chicago: Jeremie Simmons. Simmons was the 2008 Junior College Division II Player of the Year. He transferred to Ohio State after starting two seasons at Mott, where he led them to the Division II National Junior College Athletics Association National Championships in each of his last two years with a 35-3 record in 2007 and a 35-2 mark in 2008.

North Branch gained revenge wtih a 25-21, 25-14 victory in the finals of the Tri-Valley tournament. The loss to Frankenmuth was part of North Branch’s early-season struggles. The seventh-ranked Broncos, state finalists four of the last five seasons, started the season 25-14 but have gone 29-2 since then. “They won our league,” North Branch coach Jim Fish said. “That was an eye-opener for our kids. They had a huge cheering section. We said, ‘Let’s get them on a neutral court.’ We beat them in our conference tournament at Birch Run. They’re very good.” Frankenmuth won its first game against Mt. Morris and was on the verge of taking a 2-0 lead, leading 21-18 in Game 2. The Pan-

thers fought off game point when a kill by Sherrell Atkins tied it 24-24. Frankenmuth didn’t lead again in Game 2. Mt. Morris stormed out to a 10-2 lead in Game 3, scoring seven straight points, including six with Alyssa Patterson serving. The Panthers led 5-1 in Game 4. Frankenmuth battled back with eight straight points, seven on Nicole DeGrace’s serve, to take an 11-6 lead. The Eagles never gave up that lead. Mt. Morris got within 18-17 before Frankenmuth scored six straight points to take control. Mt. Morris fell behind 3-0 in Game 5 and never led. The Panthers tied it 7-7 before Frankenmuth responded with three straight points. A spike by

DeGrace ended the match. “We started out a 15-point game and missed our first serve,” Mt. Morris coach Jim Pender said. “It’s tough. You’ve got to make them make mistakes.” Mt. Morris finished 61-7-2. The Durand-North Branch match was far less dramatic. The Broncos had 14 aces, with senior Whitney Strich putting down six. North Branch led 8-1 in Game 1 and 12-1 in Game 2. The third game was a bit more competitive, as Durand trailed 7-5 before North Branch went on a 13-2 run. “Oh, my gosh, they were serving lights-out,” Durand coach Brent Maynor said. “We weren’t serve-receiving well. They’re always one of the top five teams in the state.”

MT. MORRIS — A volleyball rivalry has existed between North Branch and Frankenmuth for years, but it’s usually been one-sided. “It’s a great rivalry,” Frankenmuth coach Chip DeGrace said. “Some of the kids play together on club teams. It’s a healthy respect. We used to win all the time, then they took it to us. We’ve made it a rivalry again by winning.” Bragging rights in this rivalry also will mean a trip to the state Class B quarterfinals when North Branch faces Frankenmuth at 6 p.m. today in a regional championship match at Mt. Morris Junior High. Frankenmuth’s berth in that match was very much in question, as the Eagles needed to rally to beat host Mt.

EAST LANSING — Mark Dantonio admits the pressure is on. The Michigan State coach is three wins from leading his team to the Legends Division title and a berth in the inaugural Big Ten championship game. The No. 13-ranked Spartans play at MSU at Iowa Iowa on Saturday in Saturday: Michigan what could be their State (7-2, 4-1) at toughest remaining Iowa (6-3, 3-2), game of the regular noon, ESPN2 season. • For more coverage, go In perhaps the to mlive.com/spartans most obvious sign this is a big game, Michigan State isn’t allowing the media to talk to players this week. “I just think that there is a lot of pressure on them,” Dantonio said. “We need to get ourselves emotionally ready to play. They’ve had an opportunity to be interviewed at length these last few weeks, and I just felt like we want to go there fresh.” The Spartans would be hard pressed to look less ready than they did last year at Iowa, when they went into the game undefeated and lost 37-6. It was Michigan State’s only defeat of the regular season. The Spartans (7-2, 4-1 Big Ten) don’t have to look far for motivation this time. “Every time a cut-up is played, particular plays, whether it’s on special teams or defense or offense, that scoreboard flashes,” Dantonio said. Iowa, Nebraska and Michigan are tied for second in the division, one game back. After taking on the Hawkeyes (6-3, 3-2), Michigan State returns home to play Indiana, then finishes the regular season at Northwestern. “Everything is in our court, and so we look for that opportunity,” Dantonio said. “As far as Iowa, I think it obviously starts with toughness when you play Iowa. They’ve got a great offensive line.” Michigan State quarterback Kirk Cousins threw three interceptions against Iowa last season. He will have a chance to redeem himself Saturday, but this game is about more than just him. “I think the game’s magnitude can be referenced in terms of where we’re at as a program and trying to do as a team. I think it’s much further than him individually competing against Iowa,” Dantonio said. “I think the concern or the focus has got to be what we have to do to stay on top of this division, this Legends Division, as we move forward.” Last year, the Spartans recovered from the loss and finished the regular season 11-1. But the damage was done. MSU had to settle for a trip to the Capital One Bowl while fellow co-champions Wisconsin and Ohio State went to BCS bowls. The loss to Iowa couldn’t be ignored. “I think you have to play through the tough times. You have to play through the storms. I guess you have to do that,” Dantonio said. “The more experienced you are at handling these things, the more opportunities you have to go in, the better you should become. So we should be getting there.”

Northwestern, Purdue and Iowa. The difference has been the Wolverines’ ability to rebound. Michigan came back to beat the Fighting Irish, Northwestern and Purdue. The only time Michigan hasn’t erased an early deficit was last week, a 24-16 loss. “This game’s not going to be over until it’s over,” Zook said. “They had a chance (at Iowa) to win on the last play of the game. Every point you can get in this game, you’re going to need to get it as soon as possible.” Zook said his lesson shouldn’t have to be harped on much this week, especially given last season’s 67-65 triple overtime loss to Michigan in Ann Arbor. The Illini led 45-38 with 11:35 to play in the fourth. “(Michigan) is a football team that’s come back several times,” Zook said. “They’re not going to quit. “And our team can’t quit.”

Smoke rising

Stewart closing on third title JENNA FRYER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — When Tony Stewart passed Jimmie Johnson in the outside lane to win at Martinsville Speedway, he’d made, in his mind, a statement that nothing will get in his way of a third NASCAR championship. He celebrated with a customary victory lap, and as he came around the final turn, Stewart flipped off his engine to better soak in the roar of approval from the fans. “I turned the engine off, I coasted, because I could hear (the fans) over the engine when it was running,” Stewart recalled. “So I shut it off, and when I heard it from that crowd, it was like ‘Yep, I know where they are wanting this to go.’ ” Martinsville was the place that convinced him he could run down points leader Carl Edwards and be the driver who dethrones five-time defending NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson. It would be fitting, too. Stewart was the last driver to win a title before Johnson’s record run, and he’s now within striking distance to bookend Johnson’s titles. With two races remaining, Stewart goes to Phoenix this weekend trailing Edwards by three points. Stewart was seriously on edge nine weeks ago, when he needed a clean run at Richmond to ensure a spot in the 12-driver Chase field. He’d slumped through the summer — typically his strongest part of the season — and had openly said his Stewart-Haas Racing team didn’t deserve a spot in the Chase. He made it, but when asked days before the Chase opener at Chicago who could win the title, Stewart left himself off the list of contenders. Stewart insists he wasn’t lying. “I wasn’t, I promise,” Stewart said. “I looked at that field, and I truly was not on that list. We had runs where we ran good during the race, but we couldn’t finish it off or something would happen. It was like ‘We just don’t have it going on.’ And we were all racking our brains to get there, but we just weren’t getting results, and we definitely did not have the consistency to contend in a 10-race format.” Now Stewart doesn’t think it matters what Edwards does over the next two weeks — the title is Stewart’s for the taking. “We won Martinsville with guts and determination — it was who wants it the most, and I feel like we’re in that scenario right now,” he said.

I have the same goal today.”

No matter how many times he sees it, Don P. Roberts still has trouble believing his eyes. “The most amazing thing about this show, what people can’t believe until they see it for themselves, is that we do fit a marching band and more on a single stage,” said the man who created Drumline Live. “And they do it very well. We have a cast of 30, with vocalists and dancers, and from a theatrical perspective, that’s huge. “I don’t want to give too much away, but we make use of the whole theater, getting up close and personal.” The final effect, in the classic style of the Historically Black Colleges and Universities, is a highenergy explosion of sound and movement, ranging from swing to Michael Jackson. While credit for creating the high-stepping, dance-infused tradition varies according to the band director telling the story, Roberts said most agree the show-style marching program began in the 1940s at Florida A&M University in Tallahassee. “We still include music from that era, some Duke Ellington and Coltrane, to remind people of those times,” Roberts said. “And we have James Brown, too. The drums are the foundation of the music, but we have trumpets at

Roberts was signed on as a technical adviser, and saw the potential to take it further. “From 2002 to 2005, we thought, ‘Wow, how cool would this be on stage,’ ” Roberts said. “We had some believers who supplied funding.” It fell flat, he added, without proper marketing.

Flint Town Throwdown

Drumline Live

FLINT — Friends of Sloan Longway and Chevrolet will transform the Riverfront Banquet Center into a full-fledged party with a “nightclub” feel this month to make sure that celebrating Chevy’s centennial is one memorable — and posh — experience. “The Party of the Century — 100 Years of Chevrolet: An Illustrious Past and Vibrant Future” will take place from 8 to 11 p.m. Friday. Guests will have the chance to take a special look into Chevy’s past and at what’s next, while dancing to the music of Persuasion. Hors d’oeuvres will be served. The VIP reception begins at 6 p.m. and costs $125, including an open bar and admission into The Party of the Century. Party tickets alone cost $50. Guests must be 21 years old to attend, and dress is business casual, with bow ties welcome. Event proceeds will benefit Sloan Longway’s science, history and technology educational outreach programs for children and families in the community, such as this year’s summer-long “100 Years of Chevrolet” exhibit. Cell Phones for Soldiers, an initiative sponsored by Chevrolet, will be on hand to accept donations of used cell phones. And finally, a featured display of special Chevrolet vehicles highlighting the future, with a few select classic cars honoring the past, also will mark the occasion. For tickets or more information, visit www.fcccorp.org/events or call 810-237-7379.

day of his life — pulling the plug on the project — became the best, as Columbia Artists Management Inc. said, “Hey, we like your show. How about working with us?” “I call it the luck of the trade,” Roberts said. “We attract quality people, collegiate musicians who are the most talented from their schools, the best of the black colleges. You know how one person can make a band stand out? Now imagine if you have all of those top people in one drumline. It’s crazy.” Roberts holds auditions, in person through the heavy band country of the South and through the Internet as they tour other regions. In Michigan, for example, Roberts will choose a person from the online competition “Your Solo” to

perform a solo in the local show. “Those are our frontline recruits; it gives us a chance to see what they can do,” he said. “We have two of the best from Detroit in our cast right now.” About 50 percent of the performers are college graduates, he said, and on occasion, he’ll send others back to school to finish their degrees. And if there was a Devon Miles in the ranks who stepped forward and tore the show up as he did with his blistering solo in the film “Drumline?” “I don’t know how long he would be employed,” Roberts said, laughing. “We do have room for improvisation, but not to that extent. It’s all planned out; we don’t like surprises.”

‘Jersey Boys’ veterans become ‘Midtown Men’ CHAD SWIATECKI FOR THE FLINT JOURNAL

It was pretty much a no-brainer for Daniel Reichard when the pieces started to fall into place that led to the creation of “The Midtown Men.” As a tenured member of the smash success “Jersey Boys” musical, Reichard had a love of classic pop songs and got thrills out of presenting them in new, exciting ways to audiences all over the country. But it was the chance to reunite with his “Jersey Boys” castmates Christian Hoff, Michael Longoria and J. Robert Spencer that thrilled him the most. After literally years on stage together, the four men have an uncanny bond and friendship they were all eager to pick back up. “The relationship goes beyond any and every label, beyond friends, beyond colleagues, beyond castmates, because being on stage together is something so special,” Reichard said by phone recently from his home in New York’s West Village. “Some of these songs, the Four Seasons songs, we’ve sung more than 2,000 times together, and we know if anything should happen to go wrong we can react and keep things going because we’re a team up there.” Like “Jersey Boys” before it, “The Midtown Men” is a jukebox musical that finds the four men performing pop vocal renditions of hits from throughout the ’60s, focusing on bands including The Beatles, The Beach Boys, The Temptations and more. It plays Saturday night at The Whiting. After the end of the Broadway and

Last spring found them back together, this time playing themselves as they spin through timeless hits first heard on jukeboxes or performed on shows like “American Bandstand.” “The fun of ‘Midtown Men’ is we get to be our true selves up there with our individual senses of humor, and I’m sort of the sarcastic one who kind of keeps things moving along while we’re going through the narrative of our time as friends and co-stars,” Reichard said. “People come to our show to laugh but they also have a complex emotional experience with these songs, and hearing them live. When they hear them, it’s like you’re taking them back to significant points in their past.” A Cleveland native who graduated from the University of Michigan, See MIDTOWN, C2

Julie Taymor sues ‘Spider-Man’ producers MARK KENNEDY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW — “THE GUARD” Don Cheadle and Brendan Gleeson make an appealing pair of co-stars in a comedy thriller about an uptight FBI agent who teams with a blustery, small-town Irish cop to investigate an international drug smuggling ring. Three stars. Rated R. At the Flint Institute of Arts, 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday; 2 p.m. Sunday.

JAKE COYLE

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A trio of criminals (Mark Strong, Liam Cunningham, David Wilmot) are all lurking, awaiting the shipment. In between easy violence, they banter on philosophy, talking Nietzsche and Bertram Russell. It’s perhaps a bit too Tarantino-esque, but it’s reflective of much of “The Guard”: characters are rarely all they seem. Boyle, too, works in some highbrow references, saying he never had the patience for any of the Russian novelists, before (fittingly) declaring Gogol the exception. Peppered throughout “The Guard” are allusions to American police movies and TV shows, the investigative precision of which McDonagh would like to have a hearty laugh at. Boyle, seeing the police officers up from the city, snorts at their cell phones and computers. He has little respect for modern feelings of false superiority (which is to say, American qualities), instead preferring the old standbys: sex, a pint and utter honesty. As a fish out of water, Cheadle cuts a sharp figure in the raw Irish countryside. He’s an excellent straight man to Gleeson, contorting his face into a wide variety of disbelieving reactions to

Boyle’s idiosyncrasies. But gradually, he’s in on the joke, too. Gleeson, though, gets to have the real fun. The character actor (“Braveheart,” “Gangs of New York,” several of the “Harry Potter” films) has rarely been given such a chance to offend, curse and mock. (Even Goofy gets it.) Boyle is a kind of lone gunman of veracity. The excellent Ennio Morriconestyle score by the band Calexico only inflates the Western mythical tones. In temperament, Doyle is perhaps something of a stand-in for McDonagh. He’s here making his directorial debut (he wrote 2003’s “Ned Kelly”) and he feels like an authentic, uncompromising comedic voice. Some sentiment does sneak in, particularly through the character of Boyle’s dying mother (Fionnula Flanagan). But when she heckles a slow-moving resident at her retirement home, it’s obvious where her son gets his extreme candor. Such liveliness is the best quality in “The Guard.” In a cinema world so awash in either corporate flatness or high-art pretension, “The Guard” is a proud, foulmouthed exception.

NEW YORK — Director Julie Taymor sued the producers and her former co-book writer of “Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark” on Tuesday, saying they violated her creative rights and haven’t compensated her for the work she put into Broadway’s most expensive musical. She is seeking a minimum of $1 million. Charles Spada, an attorney who filed the suit on behalf of the Tony Award-winning director, said in a statement that “the producers’ actions have left her no choice but to resort to legal recourse to protect her rights.” The lawsuit seeks “compensatory and statutory damages, a declaratory judgment and injunctive relief.” Rick Miramontez, the show’s spokesman, did not have immediate comment on Taymor’s copyright infringement lawsuit, which was filed in U.S. District Court in Manhattan. Taymor was not available to comment. Spada did not return phone calls and email messages seeking additional comment. The lawsuit seeks half of all profits, gains and advantages derived from the sale, license, transfer or lease of any rights in the original “Spider-Man” book along with a permanent ban of the use of Taymor’s name or likeness in connection with a documentary film that was made of the birth of the musical without her written consent. It also seeks a jury trial to determine her share of profits from the unauthorized use of her version of the superhero story, which the lawsuit said was believed to be in excess of $1 million. Taymor, who had been the “Spider-Man” director and co-book writer, was fired from the $75 million musical that features music by U2’s Bono and The Edge in March after years of delays, accidents and critical backlash. It opened in November but spent months in previews before opening a few days after the Tony Awards in June. Philip William McKinley, who directed the Hugh Jackman musical “The Boy From Oz,” in 2003, was hired to steer the ship. He was billed as creative consultant when the musical opened. The stunt-heavy and expensive show has been doing brisk business ever since, most weeks easily grossing more than the $1.2 million the producers have indicated they need to reach to stay viable. Last week, it took in $1.4 million, and 86 percent of the 1,930-seat Foxwoods Theatre was filled. According to Spada’s statement, “producers have failed to compensate Ms. Taymor for their continued use of her work to date, despite the fact that the show has consistently played to capacity or near-capacity houses since its first public performance in November 2010.” The lawsuit said the producers continued to “promote, use, change and revise” her work, including the book of the musical, without her approval. It said that her contracts called for no changes to be made without her consent. She also is suing Glen Berger, her former collaborator on the musical’s story. According to the lawsuit, the producers’ lawyers belatedly sent Taymor a check for $52,880 on Nov. 4, purportedly as payment of her co-bookwriter royalties for performances of the musical through April 17, the last performance of the show before the revisions. “The producers, however, continue to refuse to pay Taymor any royalties for performances after April 17, 2011,” the lawsuit said. It said she is owed more than $70,000 additional book royalties to date, along with royalties of nearly $3,000 per week for performances. The lawsuit said nearly one quarter of the new “Spider-Man” book is copied verbatim from Taymor’s original book. It claims producers have kept her name on promotional materials such as billboards and merchandise “while refusing to compensate Taymor as she is entitled.” Taymor’s lawsuit comes less than a week after the Tony Awards Administration Committee ruled that only Taymor will be considered eligible for the show’s Tony for best direction of a musical category. The lawsuit said the awards committee rejected the producer’s contention that McKinley had changed the musical into a “new” production. Taymor, who also helmed “The Lion King,” is also seeking compensation through the union that represents theater directors. The Stage Directors and Choreographers Society filed an arbitration claim in June against the show’s producers over unpaid royalties.

(No star rating available) Theseus is a mortal man chosen by Zeus to lead the fight against the ruthless King Hyperion, who is on a rampage across Greece to obtain a weapon that can destroy humanity. Stars Henry Cavill, Mickey Rourke and John Hurt. Rated R. 110 minutes. (IMDB.com) 3D: CC, LC; 2D: FW14; 2D/3D: TGB, OC, CH

NEW — “JACK AND JILL”

(No star rating available) Family guy Jack Sadelstein prepares for the annual event he dreads: the Thanksgiving visit of his identical twin sister, the needy and passive-aggressive Jill, who then refuses to leave. Stars Adam Sandler, Katie Holmes and Al Pacino. Rated PG. (IMDB.com) CC, TGB, LC, OC, CH, FW14

NEW — “J. EDGAR”

★★★ A riveting, noble attempt by direcor Clint Eastwood to wrestle with big American questions, many of which have obvious relevance to today’s politics. It’s another largely fascinating, if disappointingly flawed chapter in Eastwood’s fantastic late period. “J. Edgar” is a biopic framed around Hoover (a thoroughly committed, engaging but ultimately still removed Leonardo DiCaprio) dictating his life story to various typists. This is Hoover’s story, mainly told through his perspective — and therefore a somewhat claustrophobic view of history. R for brief strong language. 137 minutes. TGB, FW14

“50/50”

★★★★ It could have been agonizingly mawkish: the story of a young man with everything ahead of him who learns he has a rare form of spinal cancer, one that he only has a 50 percent chance of surviving. Instead, it’s consistently, uproariously funny, written with humanity and insight and directed with just the right tone every time. R for language throughout, sexual content and some drug use. 100 minutes. TGB

“ANONYMOUS”

★★ 1/2 A funny, showy, sexy performance from Rhys Ifans livens up what is often a heavy-handed and needlessly complicated exploration of the theory that maybe William Shakespeare didn’t really write all those plays and sonnets after all. PG-13 for some violence and sexual content. 129 minutes. TGB

“COURAGEOUS”

(No star rating available) When a tragedy strikes close to home, four police officers struggle with their faith and their roles as husbands and fathers. Stars Alex Kendrick, Ken Bevel and Kevin Downes. Rated PG-13. (IMDB.com) TGB, FW14

“FOOTLOOSE”

★★ In a remake of the 1980s hit, Kenny Wormald slides into Kevin Bacon’s dance shoes as Ren MacCormack, a big-city boy banished to the small town of Bomont, Ga., where a recent tragedy has made the town clamp down on teenagers, even outlawing dancing.

“PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 3”

(No star rating available) In 1988, young sisters Katie and Kristi befriend an invisible entity who resides in their home. Stars Katie Featherston, Sprague Grayden and Lauren Bittner. 84 minutes. (IMDB.com) CC, TGB, LC, OC, CH, FW14

“PUSS IN BOOTS”

★★★ A spinoff of the “Shrek” franchise, this is actually a prequel, providing the origin story of the diminutive, swashbuckling kitty voiced with great charisma, as always, by Antonio Banderas. The “Shrek” movies may not even exist as far we’re concerned here, which is fine, because they just kept getting worse, but the franchise reboots anew, if you’ll pardon the pun, with great energy, creativity and aplomb. PG for some adventure action and mild rude humor. 90 minutes. IMAX/3D/2D: TGB; 2D/3D: CC, LC, OC, CH, FW14

“REAL STEEL”

★ 1/2 A horribly predictable mash-up of “Rocky,” “The Champ” and Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots, “Real Steel” puts director Shawn Levy in contention with fellow robot handler Michael Bay for the title of worst blockbuster filmmaker in show business. PG-13 for some violence, intense action and brief language. 127 minutes. CC, TGB, LC, OC, CH, FW14

“THE RUM DIARY”

★★ 1/2 Dedicated to Hunter S. Thompson, who died in 2005, this film is essentially a portrait of the Duke as a young journalist. It’s based on Thompson’s heavily autobiographical novel by the same name, which he wrote as a 22-year-old in the early 1960s and was published in 1998. Since then, Thompson’s friend Johnny Depp (who also played Thompson in 1998’s “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas”) has been trying to adapt it to the screen. R for language, brief drug use and sexuality. 120 minutes. TGB, LC, CH

“THE THREE MUSKETEERS”

(No star rating available) The hotheaded young D’Artagnan along with three former legendary but now down-on-their-luck Musketeers must unite and defeat a beautiful double agent. Stars Logan Lerman, Matthew Macfadyen and Ray Stevenson. Rated PG-13. 110 minutes. (IMDB.com) 3D: TGB

“TOWER HEIST”

★★★ Ben Stiller plays the longtime manager of a luxury high-rise in Manhattan. When the financial guru who lives in the penthouse is charged with stealing billions from his investors — including the hardworking tower staff — he comes up with a plan to steal their money back. Eddie Murphy, Alan Alda, Matthew Broderick, Casey Affleck, Michael Pena and Gabourey Sidibe also star. PG-13 for language and sexual content. 104 minutes. CC, TGB, LC, OC, CH, FW14

“A VERY HAROLD AND KUMAR 3D CHRISTMAS”

★ 1/2 This third film in the “Harold & Kumar” franchise is inordinately jacked up with visual effects and ★★ 1/2 Writer-director Andrew Niccol takes a clever, compelling idea — that peppy holiday music, but nothing can time is currency and you can buy your disguise the fact that this series has run way to immortality or die broke — and out of steam. R for strong crude and sexual content, graphic nudity, perbeats it into the ground. For a movie vasive language, drug use and some about the importance of maximizing violence. 90 minutes.

Judas Priest cutting back on touring Great White still

FOR THE FLINT JOURNAL

Fans were disappointed when Rob Halford announced this year that his band Judas Priest would launch its farewell “Epitaph Tour.” Halford said the scaling back of touring plans was a necessary evil propagated by the “reality of mortality, more than anything else.” “I think one of the things that we seriously considered was how to maintain the longevity of Priest, and one of the ways of doing that is just to cut back a little bit on these intense tours that we do,” Halford told The Flint Journal via telephone from England. “We’re still going to stay focused on recording and writing new songs; as you may have heard, we have a new album coming out sometime next year. And (we will) do some more shows, but not on a lengthy touring basis. Maybe do festivals or special events — that kind of thing. “I think, realistically, it guarantees the life of the band, rather than saying ‘farewell,’ ‘goodbye, ‘this is it.’ ” Judas Priest will bring its tour with Black Label Society and Thin Lizzy to Detroit’s Joe Louis Arena on Sunday. The jaunt is similar to other legs of the tour in that it will feature a retrospective of Priest’s career. “We’ve tried, as best we can, to kind of go through as much of the signifi-

On the 11-11-11 Music Festival bill with Great White, which rode “Once Bitten Twice Shy” to international fame in the 1980s and returned to full strength after celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2007, is a host of Great Lakes Bay Region bands: Finding Clyde, Harlet, The Kincaids, Stonefish, MacLaren Brennan, Thunder Chickens, Slight Case of Death, Arsenic Army, Filthy Habit and the Braun Khan Quintet. But there’s special significance to the date for Great White, a band steeped in military tradition. Drummer Audie Desbrow’s son is stationed with the U.S. Navy in Japan following a tour of duty in Iraq, and keyboardist/guitarist Michael Lardie grew up in the Air Force, giving both of them a different perspective as Veterans Day rolls around. “I got to see him about a month ago, along with my two granddaughters,” Desbrow said. “You see what’s happening on the news and all that, but when you have someone you know involved, when your son is there, you get hooked on CNN. Suddenly, everything is very important to you. "It’s kind of cool, doing the show on Veterans Day and paying respect to the troops.

of his family’s military ties through his grandfather’s continuing work with aircraft. “Most of all, it was an attitude we picked up,” he said. “Even as a little kid, I knew it was a good thing to be proud to be an American and to answer the call to duty. When you live in this country, you work, you pay taxes and you get involved when your country needs you.” When it comes to music, Great White lead singer Jack Russell, guitarist Mark Kendall, Desbrow and Lardie are veterans of sorts, too. While bassist Scott Snyder joined in 2008, the others were there “back in the heyday,” Desbrow said, “when we were all into celebrating, living like it would go on forever. The passion is still there, we discovered when we came together for our 25th anniversary, but there’s also a new appreciation for what we can still do. “Through the musical changes, the lineups, we still have good songs. That adrenaline still gets going, and it’s awesome. People are still coming, and I’m playing my heart and soul out for them. It’s not about musical politics anymore, it’s about the music.” They’re still writing songs, Lardie said, “and that keeps us in the game. Going out and just playing the hits to make a living doesn’t do it for us. We’re making records and playing shows; my hobby is my job.”

THE WASHINGTON POST

“The Change-Up”

V I D E O S

(R, 113 minutes): “Freaky Friday” meets “The Hangover” in “The Change-Up,” a raunchy ode to guy-love in which Jason Bateman and Ryan Reynolds struggle valiantly to transcend the movie they’re in. As an arrested adolescent and incorrigible ladies’ man named Mitch, Reynolds has most of the funniest lines, many of them vulgarities aimed at infants who smile beatifically at the verbal abuse. Bateman doesn’t get to have nearly as much fun as Mitch’s straight-laced best friend Dave, a type-A lawyer with a beautiful wife (Leslie Mann) and three kids. Mitch and Dave switch bodies early on and must impersonate each other until they can switch back. Contains pervasive strong crude sexual content and profanity, some graphic nudity and drug use. DVD extras: Audio commentary with director David Dobkin, making-of featurettes, gag reel, deleted scenes.

“Life in a Day” (PG-13, 95 minutes): Ridley Scott produced and Kevin Macdonald directed this movie culled from 4,500 hours of video submissions that were all shot on the date July 24, 2010. Despite having no conventional narrative, other than the sleeping, waking, rising, bathing, eating

Adapted from a recent online discussion. Hi Carolyn: Recently, an ex-boyfriend got in touch with me and wants to go out to catch up. I’ve missed him a lot since we broke up two months ago (I ended it), and I’m pretty sure he feels the same way. But my family is ADAMANTLY against it — they never liked him, and my mom went so far as to tell me that getting back together with him would “ruin my life.” My take is, I’m 23 and I don’t know what’s in the future for me. I’d really CAROLYN like to give this relationHax ship another shot. But I’m worried that doing so would really damage my relationship with my family, and might even cripple things with this guy due to expectations, resentment, whatever. Thoughts? — Meeting up with an ex Did your family ever say WHY they oppose him so adamantly? And, why did you break up with him? I’d validate your take — and do in theory — but these reasons are important. Carolyn: They think he’s immature and are concerned about his job stability and career motivation. Also, we broke up and got back together several times. Now they’re concerned I’ll get “sucked back in” and won’t ever be able to end it with him. I can see their point about the maturity level, but there was a lot of good in our relationship. I’d rather get back together and break up a million times if that’s what it takes to figure out if we’re right for each other. At this point, I’m still not sure. Also: I broke up with him because we were arguing a lot, he clearly had strong feelings for me, I didn’t know what I felt (especially with this family pressure) and didn’t want to lead him on. Now, though, I’ve given a lot of thought to these things and I’d like to give it another shot. I just don’t want to destroy my relationship with my family in the process. — Meeting, again Ugh, OK, that makes sense — turbulent relationships inspire spectators to step in and scream, “No, stop, I can’t stand it anymore!” So I do see where your family comes from. A lot of bumpy relationships are just that, and they get there because the two halves are immature and tentative in the way they communicate. However, some of them aren’t just bumpy, they’re volatile, and the people in them can’t lay off them even though they should, like addicts. Given that possibility, it would be irresponsible of me to say, “Ignore naysayers and find out what you need to find out.” So, humor me, please, and do a survey at Mosaic Threat Assessment Systems (www .mosaicmethod.com). Developed by Gavin de Becker, among others, the survey can help you differentiate between normal ups and downs and dangerous dysfunction. If you just have stupid dysfunction, then consider giving yourself time to grow up; certainly don’t go back in under the same conditions that drove you out (and your family nuts) last time. Look for real signs of real change, do the MOSAIC, weigh the value of strength in singlehood — and ask yourself if you’re a better person with him than without, based on the choices you make. Don’t say “yes” unless everything else does, too.

and living cycles of ordinary people across the globe, “Life in a Day” is a profound achievement. Alternately funny, scary, boring, moving, amateurish and gorgeous, it is a pretty spectacular thing: a crowdsourced movie that feels singular and whole. That’s less the achievement of Macdonald and his editors — who sifted through hours of clips, organizing the film into a roughly chronological journey from midnight to midnight — than it is a simple fact of life: We are not that different. The people whose lives form the spine of “Life” feel familiar, despite their language differences, sometimes exotic diets and, less frequently, strange clothing and work habits. Their hopes and joys, disappointments and fears are our own. DVD extras: interviews with Macdonald and film editor Joe Walker, director and editor commentary and footage from unused submissions.

“Atlas Shrugged: Part 1” (PG, 85 minutes): Few novels get the cinematic adaptation they deserve, but director Paul Johansson has been fair to Ayn Rand’s “Atlas Shrugged” — or rather, the opening third of it. The first in a proposed trilogy, “Atlas Shrugged: Part 1” is nearly as stilted, didactic and simplistic as Rand’s free-market fable. The filmmakers set “Atlas Shrugged” slightly in the future: 2016. The price of gasoline is so high that railroads are

back in vogue, although Dagny Taggart’s wimpy brother (Matthew Marsden) can’t seize the opportunity. He’s the president of Taggart Transcontinental, but Dagny outmaneuvers him — if doing whatever she wants qualifies as “maneuvering.” Allying with metals magnate Henry Rearden (Grant Bowler) and oil baron Ellis Wyatt (Graham Beckel), Dagny rebuilds a decrepit rail line. The malignant government isn’t Dagny and Henry’s only problem. They also face the disappearance of the world’s greatest entrepreneurs, lured away by the mysterious John Galt. More about him in parts two and three (if they ever get made). Contains sexuality and profanity. DVD extras: behind-the-scenes featurettes, “The John Galt Theme” slideshow, commentary by writer-producer John Aglialoro, screenwriter Brian Patrick O’Toole and producer Harmon Kaslow.

Also “A Better Tomorrow,” “13,” “The River Why,” “Mr. Magoo: The Television Collection, 1960-1977 ,” “Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Space Adventure,” “Fanny and Alexander” (1982, Criterion Collection), “Beethoven’s Christmas Adventure,” “Superheroes” (HBO), “Law & Order: The Complete Series,” “The Sacred,” “The Sleeping Beauty,” “Tim Tebow: Everything In Between,” “Band of Brothers/The Pacific” (13-disc special edition set), “Frankenhooker” and “Christmas Mail.”

Friday “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2” (PG-13, 130 minutes): Picking up precisely where its first installment left off, “Deathly Hallows” finds Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) burying his dear friend Dobby and setting off on yet another grim journey to find the Horcruxes containing tatters of Lord Voldemort’s soul and destroying them, the better to weaken and ultimately defeat the force of darkness also known as You Know Who. Harry’s moment at Dobby’s grave sets an apt tone for a largely cheerless quest that will take Harry, Ron (Rupert Grint) and Hermione (Emma Watson) from Shell Cottage to the bowels of Gringotts Bank and finally to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where Harry will meet his Calvary at the hands of Voldemort, once again brilliantly portrayed by Ralph Fiennes. Eight movies into the decade-long series, an outsider might wonder: Where’s the joy in “Harry Potter?” Such questions are clearly beside the point in a franchise, based on J.K. Rowling’s best-selling novels, that has uncannily tapped into the mood of its age. Contains some sequences of intense action violence and frightening images. Extras: “A Conversation With J.K. Rowling and Daniel Radcliffe,” “The Goblins of Gringotts” and “The Women of Harry Potter” featurettes, making-of featurette, deleted scenes, digital copy.
