FLINT — It’s been a mete-oric rise for Flint OlympianClaressa Shields.
In just 24months, Shields hasgone from relative unknown toa gold medalist at the inaugu-ral Olympics competition forwomen’s boxing.Shields defeated Russia’s
Nadezda Torlopova in theOlympic gold medal matchfor the middleweight divisionThursday.At 17, the Flint Northwest-
ern senior-to-be already hasetched her name in the historybooks.
In the past four decades, onlyone U.S. fighter was youngerthan Shields at the Olympics.The Flint Journal/MLive.comhas followed Shields along theway on her amazing journey,which began at age 11 in thebasement of Berston FieldHouse.Here’s a look back at how
she fought her way to Olympicgreatness:July 27, 2010: Claressa
Shields takes up boxing to bondwith her dad.Shields won the 154-pound
female division at the USABoxing Junior National Cham-pionships in Camp Lejeune,N.C., June 15-18, 2010. She wasalso named the top femaleboxer in weight classes above145 pounds. “I love to fight, boxwith my heart,” Shields said.May 27, 2011: Better than
Laila Ali?Shields prepared to defend
her Junior Olympics title as thenation’s top-ranked fighter byUSA Boxing for the 154-poundfemale division. She didn’tlack confidence heading intothe tournament, saying, “LailaAli is not my definition of thebest.” Shields added, “(For) fe-males, it’s me. I’ve never seena girl box like me.”Aug. 8, 2011: Shields wins
her second straight JuniorOlympics national title.Fresh off of a second-round
TKO victory over TanishaWheeler at the Illinois FemaleInvitational, Shields followedup with another Junior Olym-pic National Championship.She was named the Most Out-standing Female fighter for thesecond consecutive year andtook home a trophy and medalin Mobile, Ala.After the win, Shields was
crushed when the presidentof the boxing commissiontold her she would not meetthe qualifications for the 2012Olympics in London. The rulesinitially said a fighter had toturn 17 by October 2011, andShields’ birthday would notbe until March 17. Her dreams
were temporarily derailed.Oct. 10, 2011: Shields wins
the National PAL BoxingChampionships and qualifiesfor Olympic Trials.At 16, Shields automatically
qualified for the U.S. Olympictrials by winning the 2011 Na-tional Police Athletic LeagueBoxing Championships. Shealso was named the tourney’sMost Outstanding FemaleFighter.“It’s a different feeling,”
Shields said of the victory. “Atfirst, they told me that I wastoo young, but then, the nextmonth, they, like, they had thisnew tournament with a newdeadline, so after that we justwent for it.”
Feb. 19, 2012: “T-Rex”makeshistory at the U.S. OlympicTrials for women’s boxing.Shields claimed the first
middleweight women’s box-ing championship while beingnamed the Most OutstandingFighter for the U.S. OlympicTeamTrials. She created a buzzon the opening day of the trialsby dominating the top-rankedAmerican middleweight,Franchon Crews, 31-19.Shields defeated Pittsburgh’sTika Hemingway 23-18 in thefinals.April 9, 2012: Shields takes
down the world’s No. 1 femalefighter in Canada.
Shields ran throughCanada’sMary Spencer — the world’sNo. 1-ranked women’s fighter— in the finals of the AmericanBoxing Confederation’s Wom-en’s Elite Continental Cham-pionships. She picked up the75-kilogram title by outpoint-ing Spencer 27-14 for the vic-tory in Cornwall, Ontario.
“I’ve dreamed about fightingMary Spencer so many times,”Shields said. “I’ve known abouther since I was 14 years old. Isaw her fight once when I wasin Canada, and she boxed thesame way then that she doesnow.”
May 14, 2012: Shields suf-fers first amateur loss atWorldChampionships.England’s Savannah Mar-
shall shocked the world byupsetting the heavily favoredClaressa Shields 14-8 in theirboxingmatch at the 2012Wom-en’s World Championships inQinhuangdao, China. Shieldsinitially had to place in the toptwo from America to advanceto the Olympics, but an addi-tional fighter was to be selectedfromeachOlympicweight classby the International OlympicCommittee Tripartite Commis-sion, so she had to wait for the
final word.May 18, 2012: International
boxing committee picks Shieldsfor 2012 Olympics.The international boxing
committee picked Shieldsfor the 2012 Olympic Gamesin London. Dr. Christy Hal-bert, chair of the USA Box-ing Women’s Task Force, thenconfirmed the news to Shields’trainer Jason Crutchfield overthe phone.“I’m happy!” Shields wrote
in an email to The Journal fromChina. “I mean, I’ve never beenso on edge and scared before inmy life. I prayed for Savannah(Marshall) a lot! I’m glad shewon, I’m glad I had this learn-ing experience and my dreamstill alive! I made the wrongmistakes on the right person.”Aug. 8, 2012: Shields prom-
ises nothing less than gold atthe Olympics.Shields promised her fam-
ily she wouldn’t leave Londonwith anything less than agold medal. After dominatingKazakhstan’s Marina Volnova29-15 in theOlympic semifinals,Shields is one step away fromdelivering on that guarantee.Aug. 9, 2012: Shields
defeats Russia’s Torlopova19-12 to win the gold medal.

FLINT — The Flint CityCouncil voted unanimous-ly Thursday night to file alawsuit seeking to halt anyactions by newly hired emer-gency financial managerEd Kurtz while the councilappeals his appointment.The council is calling on
Gov. Rick Snyder to grantits request to hold a hearingso members can state theircase against the existence of afinancial emergency in Flint,according to actions takenat Thursday night’s specialcouncil meeting.City Council President
Scott Kincaid said the city’sf inancial condition haschanged significantly sinceSnyder appointed formeremergency manager MichaelBrown in December, and thecity no longer qualifies for amanager.“Our audits are done. We
have an adopted budget that’sa balanced budget,” Kincaidsaid this week. “We have cashflow. We are paying our em-ployees and our suppliers.”
Kurtz was appointed by thestate Wednesday after PublicAct 4 was suspended becausea voter referendum of thecontroversial law was certi-fied for the November ballot.State officials said the old
emergency manager law,Public Act 72, now is reviveduntil voters make their deci-sion in November whetherto keep Public Act 4, whichgrants emergency managersmuch more authority over
operations in cash-strappedcities.
Since Brownwasn’t eligibleto remain emergency manag-er under Public Act 72, stateofficials appointed Kurtz.But Kincaid said the city
doesn’t meet the criteria for anewmanager under the set oftriggers laid out in Public Act72 that jump-start the statetakeover process, and officialsintend to fight it.The mayor and City Coun-
cil’s authority mostly wasrestored with the revival ofPublic Act 72.Kincaid also said the state
needs to start thewhole finan-cial reviewprocess over underthe law, because it has differ-ent qualifications indicatinga “serious financial problem”than does Public Act 4.

FLINT — The city will askvoters to approve a tax in-crease to put more police andfirefighters on the street underactions approved by Michael
Brown in hislast days asFlint emergen-cy manager.Brown ap-
p r o v e d ar e s o l u t i o nWedne sdaythat would puta 6-mill publicsafety tax in-crease on the
November ballot “solely forthe purpose of providing po-lice and fire protection.”
Themillagewould generatean estimated $5.38 million inthe first year, enough to payfor about 53 police officersand firefighters, said Brown,
who was appointed cityadministrator Wednesdayunder new emergency finan-cial manager Ed Kurtz.A voter-approved millage
would eliminate the city’sdependency on grants fromfoundations and the fed-eral government to pay forpolice andfire services, Brownsaid.This year, the city had to
send out layoff notices to32 f iref ighters becauseofficials were unsure whetherthe federal governmentwouldrenew a grant. The fundswerelater awarded, but the uncer-tainty put the future of thefire department in question,he said.“That would decimate our
ability to provide fire safetyfor our citizens,” he said.“We want to be in a positionto have city resources to putpolice and firefighters on thestreets.”

grew up in roughneighborhoods withan unstable familyand was bullied.None of those
struggles everstopped her.On Thursday, Shields won
the middleweight Olympicgold medal. At 17, she was theyoungest fighter in thefirst-everwomen’s boxing competition—and she won.“It’s crazy. I never noticed
how big it is to be an Olym-pian and a gold medalist,”said Chenell Harless, a juniorat Flint’s Northwestern HighSchool. “It will be weird seeingher in the hallway and saying,‘Hey, gold medalist!’“It really tells me that even
though you have a negativecommunity or come from anegative situation that you cango to the Olympics and win agold medal.”
At Northwestern, only 3 per-cent of 11th-graders met stateproficiency rates in math onstandardized tests this year,and only 66.5 percent of its stu-dents graduate in four years.Flint is known for its tough-
ness and high crime rate. Thecity is listed as one of thenation’s most dangerous cities.With 44 homicides already thisyear, Flint is on pace to breaka record 66 homicides set in2010.And, now comes Claressa

killing each other, so I thinkit’s something good,” herfather, Clarence “Bo Bo”Shields, said over the noise ata public watch party in down-town Flint. “I know she has apositive influence on a lot ofother young teenagers andkids.”Claressa Shields is the first
Flint athlete to win an individ-ual Olympic gold medal.She joins an elite class with
eight other Flint-area athletesto medal in the Olympics andis only the fourth person fromGenesee County to win gold.
KenMorrowdid it in 1980 forhockey, Pamela McGee in 1984in women’s basketball and JimAbbott in 1988 for baseball.
‘World-class talent’ in FlintOne party wasn’t enough for
Shields.At Blackstone’s Pub & Grill,
more than 300 supporterswatched her perform at theworld’s biggest sporting event.About 125 others also cameto Flint Northwestern HighSchool to cheer in the audi-torium. Both parties shoutedthrough the entire match.“This shows that we have
world-class talent here in thecity of Flint, and when indi-viduals are given a chance andcombine that with their owndrive, then this is the result,”Flint Mayor Dayne Wallingsaid. “There was a tremendousenergy around Mark Ingrambeing the first person from ourcommunity towin theHeismanTrophy, and I put this right upthere with that, but you couldprobably say that this was evenbigger.”Watching Shields in action
at Blackstone’s brought backmemories for local trainerLeon “Bumper” Lawson, aformer sparring partner of1960 Olympic gold medalistMuhammad Ali.“I’ve never seen some-
body as motivated as she isas a woman,” Lawson said.“Muhammad Ali was the mostmotivated male, and nobody
was really pushing Claressathat much but (her trainer)Jason Crutchfield, and shewanted it and went and got it.“I’m loving every second of
this.”Shields will go down in
history.No other f ighter from
the United States’ 12-mem-ber roster came home fromLondon with more than abronze.Flint natives Chris Byrd and
Andre Dirrell, Lawson’s grand-son, were boxers who pickedup silver and bronze medals in1992 and 2004, but theyweren’table to accomplishwhat Shieldshas done.“My sister is No. 1 in Amer-
ica, No. 1 in the whole world,and she is a beast, so I’m notshocked,” said Shields’ sister,Briana Shields. “My sisterprayed hard, worked hard andshe got what she wanted.”
Shields won every round butthe first. Entering Round 2, thescore was knotted, 3-3.She began to pull away
once she figured out RussianNadezda Torlopova’s tenden-cies in the ring. Shields built a15-10 lead after the third roundwith powerful shots and taunt-ed the slower boxer in the finalminutes on defense.
Shields even stuckher tongueout at Torlopova as she domi-nated her and danced as shewalked off the stage— lookingsuddenly like the 17-year-oldgirl she is.
Unifying forceShe brought many unlikely
people together.Political enemies and even
her estranged parents satside by side at viewing par-ties — cheering together, evenhugging.In the end, Torlopova put
her arms around Shields — asurprising, almost maternalaction. Even her opponentcouldn’t help but be inspiredby Shields.She’s tough. She is who she
is. No apologies.Just like Flint.

‘NO. 1 IN THE WHOLE WORLD’ CONTINUED FROM A3
The review process can takeup to 90 days.
Council members also spokeout against many of the actionsBrown took in his final daysand hours as emergency man-ager, including the decision tosell Genesee Towers for $1 toUptown Reinvestment Corp.to be demolished and turnedinto an urban plaza.
Brown said earlier Thursdaythe action would turn a liabil-ity into a space the entire citycan use.Brown also al located
$750,000 in federal grant fundsto go to Uptown to help payfor demolition of the proper-ty, which is estimated to costmore than $4 million, accord-ing to a signed developmentagreement.“This money could be used
on the north end, east side,west side to take out some ofthese homes that are blighted,”Councilman Bryant Noldensaid. “But we’re going to put itinto Genesee Towers, a placewe just sold for $1? It doesn’tmake any sense.”Councilman Sheldon Nee-
ley called it a “slap in the face”to Flint taxpayers, who wereforced to pay a one-time taxto cover a $9 million legaljudgment the city was orderedto pay the former owners afterlosing a six-year legal battleover the building.“It showed a blatant disre-
gard for finding out what thepublic will was for the rehabor what theywanted to dowiththat building,” Neeley said.“The process could have beenhandled better.”
Councilman Bernard Lawlersaid the residents of Flint de-served to have a say-so in whathappened to the building — ifnot a reimbursement of thetaxes they paid to take it over.“It’s so surprising this was
the action takenwhen residentswere assessedmillions,” Lawlersaid. “It’s really not right.”The Towers agreement also
didn’t sit right with residentsat Thursday’s meeting.“Emergency manager Mike
Brown tried to go out with abang,” Flint resident Nayyirah
Shariff said.Others said the grant funds
from the city could be betterspent in residential neigh-borhoods of Flint, instead ofdowntown.
“Mr. Brownhas already givenaway the Towers the taxpayerspaid for,” Flint resident BarbaraGriffith-Wilson said. “We can’tget our grass cut or our parkskept.”Brown said he approved
the plan to demolish thestructure because the di-lapidated building is aliability to the city that couldcost the taxpayers evenmore ifsomeonewere injured inside orbecause of the cement barriersin the roadways surroundingthe building.After being named emer-
gency manager Wednesday,Kurtz — who was Flint emer-gency manager during its firststate takeover in 2002-04 —appointed Brown as his cityadministrator.The Rev. Latrelle Holmes,
pastor of Greater Galilee Bap-tist Church, said residents andcity officials need to challengeBrown’s decisions.“It is not right for the city to
obligate $750,000 of demoli-tion money to create a park indowntown Flint,” he said of thedecision to demolish the Tow-ers. “The streets on the northside of Flint have extremeblight.”
Holmes is part of a statewidecoalition of people fightingto overturn Public Act 4, thestate’s controversial emergen-cy manager law.Ho lmes , Shar i f f and
other Public Act 4 opponentsdisagree with the stateattorney general’s opinion thatonce the law was suspended,its previous version, Public Act72, was revived in the interim.Under the Genesee Towers
agreement, the city would payUptown Reinvestment Corp.$375,000 this year and againnext year from its Communi-ty Development Block Grantfunds, money the city receiveseach year from the federal gov-ernment based on its popula-tion and number of low-incomeresidents. Themoney could be
used only for demolition.The city would make the
payments as long as Flintdoesn’t receive less than$2 million in CDBG funds, theagreement said.The agreement details the
transfer of the Towers fromthe city to Uptown for $1 onthe conditions that Uptown de-molishes the 19-story structure,removes any asbestos on theproperty and develops it intoan urban plaza “for the enjoy-ment of all citizens of the cityof Flint.”The transfer is contingent
upon an inspection of the prop-erty and other “due diligence”activities, according to theagreement.
The agreement said Uptownalso would facilitate comple-tion of the “Michigan StateUniversity Flint Public Healthand Medical Campus” proj-ect, which is proposed for theformer Flint Journal propertyacross from Genesee Towers.Uptown has obtained, or
has committed to obtain, morethan $30 million for the rede-velopment projects in thatarea.
