BEHIND THE WHEEL 22A

Exam

Community gathers for dedication of new fire station

WARREN — A crowd gathered along Schoenherr Road to watch as vehicles from the Warren Fire Department paraded along the street, eventually pulling into their new home.

At a ceremony July 30, the new Warren Fire Station No. 5 was dedicated as firefighters and vehicles paraded from the old station on Hoover Road near Common Road

to the new one at 30619 Schoenherr Road.

for suspect in chase, fatal crash leads to heated exchange

WARREN — The exam hearing for a man accused of hitting and killing a woman while leading Warren police on a high-speed chase resulted in a heated exchange between the defense attorney and a witness July 24.

Police spotted Anthony Eugene-Douglas Grier Jr., 33, allegedly speeding northbound on Van Dyke Avenue near the General Motors Technical Center at around 9:23 p.m. May 24. Officers detected him traveling at 72 mph in a 40 mph zone, police previously stated.

When officers attempted to initiate a traffic stop, Grier allegedly fled.

“This station is more than a building. It is a symbol of safety, of service and of strength, and most of all, it is a symbol of leadership into the future,” said Warren Fire Chief Orrin Ferguson.

Ferguson said the field of firefighting is always adapting, and the new station will help the department do the same.

“The threats we face are changing — extreme weather,

At an exam hearing on July 24, Macomb County Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Robert Nelson Jr. called Warren police officer Chad Lee to the stand to testify.

Lee, who has been employed with the Warren Police Department for about one year and eight months, was in the police vehicle pursuing Grier’s black Chrysler 300.

Lee described the pursuit, stating at the highest, he drove at 114 mph for a brief peri-

Warren Crime Commission to host family safety day

WARREN — The Warren Crime Commission is hosting an event later this month aimed at educating the community about important safety topics.

On Saturday, Aug. 16, the commission is hosting Family Safety Day, an event organizers said will help bring the community and police force together.

“We’ll be talking about safety information,” said JD Marshall, a member of the commission, who is helping to organize the event. “Community officers will be out there, so the citizens of Warren can meet the officers that are actually in their area.”

Beyond the event being an opportunity for community members to meet members of the police department, there will be opportunities to learn and sign up for other volunteer organizations, such as the Warren Community Emergency Response Team.

CERT is a volunteer group that responds to serious crashes, festivals and community events to assist the police and fire departments. At the event, they’ll be doing CPR demonstrations and recruiting for new members.

“It’s a good opportunity for anybody that’s passionate about law enforcement or wants a way to help out the city,” Marshall said. “Because the quicker CERT can get out to a situation, the officers can get back out on patrol.”

Important safety items, such as gun locks and smoke detectors, will also be available at the event. In addition, at the entrance to the park there will be a bottle drive for A Mission of Love, a nonprofit raising money for childhood cancer research. Half of the proceeds from the bottle return will go to the charity, and the other half will go towards CERT.

Anyone who donates will also be entered into a raffle for the Sept. 20 Comedy 4 Cancer show. Prizes include a reservation for a table for 10 guests, $20 in raffle tickets for gift baskets and $20 in drink tickets.

Marshall added that even though it’s a fun and informative event, the opportunity to meet and interact with officers in the area is an added safety measure for residents.

“It’s a good opportunity to engage with the police officers that literally work in your area,” he said. “And to me, that’s an added safety measure. It makes you more comfortable if you feel like you know the officers … I’ve never in my life felt safer than having that connection.”

Family Safety Day will be held from 2-6 p.m. Aug. 16 at the Halmich Park North Pavillion, 3001 E. 13 Mile Road. The event is free and open to the public.

Regular meetings of the Warren Crime Commission are open to the public and

serve as an opportunity for residents to express concerns about issues going on in their neighborhoods. The commission meets on the first Wednesday of each month at 6 p.m. The next meetings were scheduled for Aug. 6 and Sept. 3 at the Crime Commis-

sion offices, 5959 Beebe St., one block east of Mound Road and just north of 13 Mile Road.

‘Hidden in Plain Sight’

DETROIT — Retired Warren Consolidated Schools Superintendent Robert Livernois is a history buff, especially when it comes to Detroit landmarks and legends.

He consistently researches historic buildings and interesting people that left their mark on the Motor City. He’s sharing his enthusiasm for history with others on a podcast called “Hidden in Plain Sight” available on various online sites, including Apple Podcasts, Simplecast and Facebook.

Livernois, who retired last year, keeps each episode about 6-10 minutes in length, and the podcasts are prerecorded and usually released on Tuesdays. He’s been all over the city to visit various sites that make Detroit unique.

Athletic figures, music icons, entrepreneurs, famous streets, artists, educators and more come alive when they’re “Hidden in Plain Sight.” Livernois was an English teacher at South Lake High School in St. Clair Shores before becoming an administrator in Warren Woods Public Schools

Regina welcomes new president, vice president

WARREN — Regina High School has come full circle.

Last month, the Regina High School board of directors — together with the Sisters of St. Joseph of the Third Order of St.

Francis — announced the appointments of Anna Bulszewicz as president and Emily Radatz as vice president of advancement.

The announcement was made after an extensive search that began in February with the guidance of consultants and alumnae through Daudlin Search, an executive search firm based in Grosse Pointe Woods.

As they step into their new roles, Bulszewicz and Radatz are going back to the beginning. Both are graduates of the all-girls Catholic high school; Bulszewicz graduated in 2003 and Radatz in 2001. They attended Regina when it was located in Harper Woods. The school moved to its current

ASL class opens the lines of communication

WARREN — This June and July, a number of Van Dyke Public Schools students who needed to catch up on their credits or needed remedial lessons are attending summer school in the district at various schools.

Lincoln High School students behind in their credits are in the credit recovery program with the opportunity to earn up to three credits this summer. Helping them along is Gabrielle Avila, who is the secondary summer school coordinator. She also is an instructional coach during the school year.

Carol Scurti, an instructional coach from the elementary level, has been working with students who have gaps in reading. She worked with a group of students during the school year and continued with the students this summer to increase their reading levels.

And Lincoln Middle School students who need some extra help in math and English are receiving it. Additionally, they also are taking a new class offered in summer school: American Sign Language. The online instruction is offered through Elevate K-12, an educational institution based in Chicago. Sign language is a visual language used primarily by individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing, and by family members, interpreters and educators with whom they interact. Sign language utilizes hand gestures,

facial expressions, and body movements to convey meaning, just like spoken languages.

The middle school students are learning on laptops with instructor Alyssa Jackson, who is teaching via online on a large screen inside the classroom. Only the middle school students are participating in the ASL class. Jackson, who is based in North Carolina, said American Sign Language introduces students to a new culture, language and community.

“It’s a real-world experience for the deaf community. They just want to have the opportunity to communicate. They want to have relationships just like we do as a hearing community,” Jackson said. “They can be more receptive.”

On July 23, Jackson began the lesson with several vocabulary words demonstrating how to use sign language to introduce themselves to individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing. The students also participated in an activity to create a video of themselves signing an introduction that included a proper greeting and farewell, their first and last names, and their hearing status. The students also got into small groups to communicate with each other via sign language.

“I like it. I’m picking it up pretty fast,” said Trevon Copeland, who will be in seventh grade when the new school year begins. “It’s made me want to meet a deaf person one day and talk to them. It feels like I’m learning a whole new language with the hands.”

and Warren Consolidated Schools. History always piqued his interest.

“The amount of history in Detroit is staggering given how many different periods it went through. The city is being rebuilt from the inside out,” the 1984 South Lake High School graduate said. “That’s the whole spirit of ‘Hidden in Plain Sight.’ All of my episodes have a nice twist to them.”

Livernois, of Troy, takes listeners back to the 1700s, 1800s and 1900s. As the city rebuilds, Livernois said that many of the new buildings going up in Motown feature pieces of the past. He shares such tidbits on the podcast.

“A corner of the Motor City Casino is the original Wonder Bread baking plant. Like where Ford Field is, they’ve preserved some of the Hudson (department store) warehouse,” Livernois said. “That’s the kind of connection I am trying to sew together. The more people I talk to the more I realize how much people want to share what they know about history.”

When learning more about Faygo, his listeners chose Rock & Rye as their favorite flavor with Red Pop as a close second.

The educator, who has been an adjunct professor at Wayne State University, always wondered about Livernois Avenue, his surname. When conducting research on the road that travels through Wayne and Oakland counties, Livernois discovered he is a 12th generation descendant of early Detroit settler Paul Benoît dit Livernois.

On another podcast, “Detroit’s Forgotten Founder: The Man Behind the Motto,” Livernois pays tribute to the Rev. Gabriel Richard, who did everything from serving the Lord as a Catholic priest to helping establish the University of Michigan, to coining Detroit’s motto, “We hope for better things; it will rise from the ashes” after the city’s Great Fire of 1805.

Childhood friend Tom Rempel became a fan of Livernois’ podcasts.

“I think he’s done a fantastic job. He’s really into history big time,” said Rempel, who resides in St Clair Shores. “He does a lot of research, too. My parents used to take us to these places.”

One podcast that drew in Rempel was the piece on the Grande Ballroom titled

“The Ballroom That Rocked Detroit,” which first aired June 3, 2025. Rock ‘n’ roll fanatics who grew up listening to Led Zeppelin, The Who and the MC5 know all about the rock club once located at 8952 Grand River Ave.

“That was really cool. I’ve got older brothers, and they grew up with those bands, Cream, Jimi Hendrix,” Rempel said.

Those who follow sports can reminisce in the episode “Home Runs and Hardware: The Brooks Lumber Story.” In it, Livernois talks about the Brooks Lumber business; Tiger Stadium once stood next to it in Corktown. You could hear the baseball bats cracking when Babe Ruth, Harmon Killebrew, Reggie Jackson, Ted Williams, Norm Cash and Kirk Gibson all hit home runs that flew out of the stadium and landed on the property of Brooks Lumber. Rempel was at the game in 1962 when Killebrew, who at the time played for the Minnesota Twins before becoming a Tiger, smacked a home run over the roof at Tiger Stadium.

“I was like 5 years old. My mom said he hit it over the roof,” Rempel recalled.

Livernois can picture the people of the past who once ventured to the places he researches. He can envision the crowds at Red Wings hockey games and get an idea of Detroiters heading out for a night on the town. One of his favorite Detroit spots is the Masonic Temple, located at 500 Temple St. According to him, there’s a roller derby rink in the building, ballrooms and more.

“I’ve been there many times for a concert. If there’s a place in Detroit that’s hidden right in front of you it is the Masonic Temple. You’re walking by a building that has over 1,000 rooms in it,” Livernois said. “Once a year they would have a flea market in the roller derby rink. When you’re in that space you can see the floor and all the scuff marks from the roller skates where they race around.”

The Alger Theatre, located at 16451 E. Warren Ave., in Detroit, will be featured in a future broadcast. The Alger opened in 1935 and is 90 years old. According to the website algertheater.org, it opened its doors to a full house, playing a double feature of “The Girl from 10th Avenue” starring Bette Davis and Ian Hunter, and “Oil for the Lamps of China” starring Pat O’Brien, Gene Muir, and Josephine Hutchinson.

‘Benefit on the Bay’ continues to help Capuchin Soup Kitchen

HARRISON TOWNSHIP/ST. CLAIR SHORES — When Michael Schodowski was studying tae kwon do to earn his black belt more than 40 years ago, another student invited him to visit the Capuchin Soup Kitchen in Detroit after class one night.

“I didn’t know anything about it,” Schodowski said. “He drove me there and gave me a tour. I was taken aback from all the good work they do. I felt more appreciative about the things we take for granted.”

After volunteering for several years, Schodowski — president of the company Shelving. com based in Madison Heights — wanted to do more. So, in 1993, he invited family and friends to Island Cove Marina in Harrison Township for a fundraiser to benefit the nonprofit organization.

While listening to music from an AM/FM radio, a crowd gathered for beer and pizza and raised $1,400 for the charity during Schodowski’s initial fundraiser. In its 10th year, the “Benefit on the Bay” fundraiser moved from the marina to MacRay Harbor, located at 30675 N. River Road in Harrison Township. Schodowski has never lost his desire to help the Capuchin Soup Kitchen and is preparing for the 32nd annual Benefit on the Bay Aug. 22 at MacRay Harbor.

“Benefit on the Bay is very high-electricity. There’s a high vibe in the room,” Schodowski said. “It’s a very high-energy event.”

The event will include food, entertainment, silent and live auctions, an ice cream and frozen espresso cart, and more. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. Also scheduled is a performance by the Capuchin Show Choir. Ryan Ermanni, of Fox 2 News, will emcee the benefit, and there will be a special appearance from retired Detroit Lion Herman Moore.

According to organizers, all of the evening proceeds support the Capuchin Soup Kitchen. To date, Benefit on the Bay has raised over $3 million in net proceeds for the charity.

“We underwrite 100% of the costs,” Schodowski said.

With its success over the years, Schodowski added another component to the fundraiser: a VIP night. This year’s third annual VIP night will be held the evening before Benefit on the Bay from 6-9 p.m. Aug. 21 at Hook Restaurant, located at 24214 Jefferson Ave., in St. Clair Shores.

Tickets are $250 per person and include hors d’oeuvres prepared by Robert Nahra, also known as “Chef Bobby,” an open bar including Celani Wines and desserts by On the Rise Bakery Café, which is one of the Capuchin programs. Tickets are limited.

Those who attend will learn more about the Capuchins because several brothers from the charity will be in attendance. The VIP evening will have an island flair. Attire is casual, and guests can arrive by car or boat. Valet parking will be available. Sponsorships are available.

For tickets and sponsorship details for either event, go to benefitonthebay.org. Checks can be made payable to the Capuchin Soup Kitchen and mailed to Shelving.com c/o Mike Schodowski, 29275 Stephenson Hwy., Madison Heights, Michigan, 48071. For more information call (248) 318-7655 or email dbell@thecapuchins.org.

‘I believe we make an impact.’

Capuchin Soup Kitchen Executive Director Br. Gary Wegner said money raised during the annual benefit primarily is put towards the charity’s general operating expenses. Wegner, who has been a Capuchin friar since 1982, also said the organization does not receive any government assistance. He has attended the Benefit on the Bay events at MacRay Harbor for several years

and described them as “celebratory.”

“It’s a beautiful location out on the lake,” he said. “People are very supportive. We hope they get to know the soup kitchen. I believe we make an impact.”

Inspired by St. Francis of Assisi, a number of friars that were part of the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin, based in Rome, started the Capuchin Soup Kitchen in Detroit in 1883. In 1924, Rev. Solanus Casey arrived at the monastery, and the charity began to expand, especially when the Great Depression hit in 1929. The Capuchin Soup Kitchen now has seven programs to assist men, women and children in need.

The meal program, which started it all, currently has two Detroit sites for families to get a free meal. The 1264 Meldrum St. facility is open for breakfast and lunch. The second site at 4390 Conner St. offers breakfast, lunch and dinner. Wegner said between the two the meal sites more than 1,000 meals are served per day.

The friars also made farming part of its community with the Earthworks Urban Farm, a 1.25-acre certified organic farm located on the east side of Detroit. There is a spiritual care component, which serves as another program, and the Capuchin Services Center provides emergency food and clothing where items are offered in a retail-like setting.

The Capuchin Soup Kitchen also provides substance use disorder support and treatment and sponsors Jefferson House, a 12-bed, residential treatment facility for men recovering from addictions. The program, too, provides the men the opportunity to work at other Capuchin Soup Kitchen locations, for which they are paid a modest stipend. New residents to Jefferson House are admitted via referral from inpatient substance abuse treatment programs.

In an effort to boost the lives of children and teenagers, the Rosa Parks Children & Youth Program was incorporated with after school tutoring and art therapy sessions for children ages 6-15, youth leadership opportunities, and family activities.

The seventh Capuchin Soup Kitchen program is the On the Rise Bakery & Cafe located inside the Solanus Casey Center at 1780 Mount Elliott St., in Detroit. The bakery is open for business Tuesdays through Saturdays for muffins, pies, sandwiches, sweets, coffee and more. The menu items are prepared by men who have recently been released from prison or have completed a substance use disorder treatment program.

Wynter Thompson, also getting ready for seventh grade this fall, has picked up the language quite well.

“It’s kind of easy if you actively pay attention,” she said.

Thompson has been teaching some of what she learned to her summer school math teacher.

“I think they’ve come a long way,” said

ASL coach Franz-Llesh Grishaj, who is a Van Dyke Public Schools teacher during the school year. “It opens them up to everyone in the deaf community and how to be sensitive.”

Joann Iras, K-12 turnaround director for the district, said Elevate K-12 has been used there during the school year, including for after school tutoring.

Summer school began June 23 and ended July 31 with a field trip for students who maintained good attendance.

Regina

Warren location in the mid-2000s.

According to Regina Board of Directors Chair Ricci Ososkie, the combined talents of Bulszewicz and Radatz, along with their deep commitment to Catholic education, make them an extraordinary fit for the school. The two new school leaders will join a fellow alumna, Principal Ann Diamond, who graduated from Regina High School in 1994.

“As a fellow Saddlelite, it brings me great joy to welcome Anna and Emily back to Regina in these vital roles,” Diamond said in a prepared statement. “Their passion, experience, and love for this school are undeniable. Together, we form a leadership team grounded in shared values, deep roots, and a commitment to advancing Regina’s mission in bold and meaningful ways. The future of Regina is bright — and I couldn’t be more excited to lead alongside two remarkable alumnae.”

As president, Bulszewicz will guide Regina’s external engagement, mission alignment, and strategic direction. Bulszewicz is

The new, state-of-the-art, 13,000 square-foot firehouse was built to replace the former station, which was built in 1957 and was only 6,000 square feet.

“Station 5 stood tall,” said Warren Fire Commissioner Wilburt “Skip” McAdams. “It was more than just a firehouse. It became a landmark of the northeast section of the city, a place where generations of firefighters began

“Throughout its long history, it stood tall through the decades of change of personnel, equipment and function and became a second home for those who live and work within its walls,” he added.

While ground was broken on the new station in 2023, it was the result of years of planning and collaboration among city administrators, City Council members and fire administration personnel.

The new facility is expected to be open and operational in early August. A new Station No. 1, which is modeled to be similar to the new Station No. 5, is expected to open in September.

Auto dealers: Buy now before tariffs drive prices up

METRO DETROIT — With looming tariffs likely to push auto prices higher, industry insiders say now’s the time to buy.

It’s a buyer’s market, according to Robert Shastal, general manager of the Fox Automotive Group in Rochester Hills.

“Right now, buyers have an advantage,” he said. “If they wait, they could face higher prices, fewer incentives, missed opportunities on trade values, and the end of EV credits.”

Buying sooner may keep more green in your wallet, with tariffs on imported vehicles expected to lead to price increases in the near future.

“The tariffs and supply chain costs are rising, but right now, automakers are still holding their line with in-

WARREN, MI – In a world where weight loss surgery often takes center stage, two Warren men are proving that discipline, structure, and expert medical guidance can lead to equally life-changing results—without going under the knife.

Under the care of Dr. Sam Awada a global leader in the tness industry and a recognized expert in exercise science, obesity medicine, and sustainable weight loss, Greg M. and Nick G. began a physicianguided transformation in early 2025. Greg joined on January 27, followed by Nick on February 4.

In under six months, they lost a combined 215 pounds, each shedding more than 100 pounds, entirely through non-surgical means.

“If you told me I’d lose 100 pounds in six months, I would’ve called it impossible,” said Greg. “But Dr. Awada gave me a system that worked—he kept me accountable, educated me, and helped me believe in myself.”

Nick echoed that sentiment:

“I haven’t felt this good in 15 years—my back pain is gone, I t into clothes I hadn’t worn in years, and I’ve adopted a maintainable lifestyle. Dr. Sam changed my life.”

Dr. Awada credits their success to structure, consistency, and trust: “ ere’s no secret. When patients commit, and we provide the right tools and education, the results follow. ese two are proof.”

ese success stories are just part of the comprehensive care provided at 24 Hour Lifeline Urgent Care and Family Medicine—a full-service, physician-led medical facility and mini emergency room serving Warren and surrounding communities.

We are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year— including holidays. We never close.

Dealers

centives. People will risk paying more once those costs hit because the manufacturers can’t take on the additional costs forever,” said Shastal.

Ledell Griffin, sales manager at Galeana’s Van Dyke Dodge in Warren, said tariffs will not only increase prices, but it will also affect incentives and how vehicles and parts are shipped.

“It’s passed down to the consumer, so it’s not something that the manufacturer pays for,” he said. “If a part used to cost $100, it might cost $150 to $200, depending on the tariffs.”

New vehicle inventory has rebounded to near pre-pandemic levels, so buyers also have a wider selection to choose from. And, with increased inventory, dealerships are more likely to offer deals to attract buyers.

“Whenever we have a lot of inventory, we put a lot of sales on, so that’s another good reason to buy, because inventory is now at an all-time high for me. I’ve never had so many trucks,” said Griffin.

Those interested in purchasing a new or used electric vehicle, or an EV, can also take advantage of savings, but only for the next two months. The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 qualified certain electric vehicles for a tax credit of up to $7,500 for eligible buyers. However, the federal vehicle tax credit is set to expire Sept. 30.

“One of the big incentives for all brands is the federal EV tax credit — $7,500 on new, and $4,000 on used — which ends Sept. 30, making the next two months the last chance to capture that savings for a buyer,” Shastal explained.

If you already have a car and are looking to trade, industry leaders say now is an excellent time.

“Trade-in value remains strong and used car inventory is still tight, so the dealers are paying top dollar for trades, making it a great time to maximize the vehicle’s value,” Shastal added.

Paddleboard

a very, very long history with paddleboard racing,” said Harrison Withers, a member of the USA SUP Board of Directors and event organizer for the 2025 national championship. “And to be able to tack onto an existing event that has its own pretty rich history in Detroit … kind of adds to the legitimacy of stand-up paddleboarding.”

This was the third USA SUP national championship. The location has moved each year, with the first two championships taking place in Long Beach, Calif., and Hilton Head, S.C. in 2023 and 2024, respectively.

“Before USA SUP and the national championships, there was no one single definitive event in our sport,” Withers said. “We’re coming to the Midwest (this year) because paddleboarding is a sport that people enjoy on all kinds of different water. It’s not just the surf-related locations. … We don’t just paddle on the coast; we paddle throughout the country.”

The sense of community is something that USA SUP was excited to bring to Detroit. Officials say the paddleboarding competitions are truly for everyone.

“When we have events like this, there might be somebody … that doesn’t know that paddleboard racing is a thing,” Withers said. “If we can show folks that it’s more than just paddling around for a few minutes, and that you can actually build community and make some friends … that’s the greatest impact we can really have.”

The star of the show was paddleboarding legend Seychelle Webster, who ended the weekend with three gold medals and a silver in what was her first time paddleboarding in Detroit.

“Personally, I’m thrilled. … It went extremely well,” Webster said. “Being one of the best in the country is a huge honor … and I’m training to be one of the best paddlers in the world.”

Webster has been paddling competitively for about a decade now and has seen the growth of the sport right in front of her eyes.

Having a national championship for paddleboarding is something that paddlers don’t take for granted. The title can open the door for even bigger opportunities.

Webster said that the championship series provides an official path for athletes in the sport. The 2025 series was deemed a success with strong viewership all weekend. It was also a success for USA SUP, with a new region of the country now following the sport.

“One of the things I love about this sport is all the different places it can take you to,” Webster said. “Belle Isle was gorgeous. … It had all the different elements you’d look for in a stand-up paddle race.”

Grier

od while pursuing Grier, who lead officers northbound on Van Dyke before turning around at an intersection north of 15 Mile Road and then traveling southbound, at which point Lee said he hit a curb and drove on the sidewalk “for a matter of time.”

Lee stated that even at 114 mph, Grier was pulling away from him.

“I was losing significant ground,” he said. “I was unable to keep up.”

The pursuit continued, with officers blocking intersections along Van Dyke and Grier allegedly running a total of six red lights until he collided with two vehicles at the intersection of Nine Mile Road and Van Dyke.

The driver of one vehicle, a 2007 Pontiac, was 71-year-old Wendy Drew, of Hazel Park. She was transported to the hospital where she was declared dead. According to the autopsy report presented at the July 24 hearing, she died of blunt force trauma. The manner of death was accidental.

The dashcam footage from Lee’s vehicle — which was played as evidence during the hearing — showed Grier fleeing on foot after the collision, though he was quickly apprehended.

When Josh Van Laan, Grier’s attorney, began to cross-examine Lee, he asked him about the location of Flock Safety cameras placed along Van Dyke.

“I know there’s some on Van Dyke,” Lee said. “I don’t know the exact locations.”

However, Van Laan countered by stating the pursuit ran almost the entire length of Van Dyke in Warren, so it was likely that a camera picked up the license plate on the vehicle Grier was driving.

Van Laan asked Lee how fast he was driving when he began the pursuit, before activating his lights and sirens. Lee said he didn’t recall, though he testified he was operating safely.

Van Laan then asked again how fast Lee was driving when he initiated the pursuit.

“Not as fast as your client,” Lee stated.

At this point, Visiting Judge Denis LeDuc — who was presiding over the hearing — told Van Laan to watch his tone of voice.

“Tone, not in my courtroom,” LeDuc said. “Normal conversational tone.”

After asking Lee if pursuing a suspect at high speeds was safe — which Lee said was, because traffic was blocked and he was in control of his vehicle — Van Laan returned to his question about Flock cameras.

“Why on earth, officer, would you go 114 mph on a chase when you can just check a Flock camera to get the license plate,” he said.

“Because I’m a police officer, a crime was committed in my presence,” Lee said. “Your client had not been ID’ed yet. I did not know at the time if he was the registered owner of the vehicle. I did not know if that vehicle was stolen. I did not know if this man was wanted on any serious felony charges or warrants. I did not know if this man had just committed a crime elsewhere and was trying to get away. A serious or heinous crime could have been committed. There could have been somebody in his trunk. There are a multitude of reasons why I, as a police officer, would not just say, ‘Oh, he’s attempting to get away, he’s going too fast, let me stop here.

“The citizens of Warren deserve better, so I’m not going to just sit and turn a blind

eye to criminal activity in front of me when it’s my job,” Lee said.

Van Laan responded by asking Lee why he would initiate a pursuit that would lead to speeds of 114 mph for a civil infraction. Lee said it was elevated from a civil infraction to a felony when Grier decided to flee.

“The speeds alone were a criminal matter, because that’s reckless driving,” Lee said. “So if you want to play this game, then yes …”

Before Lee could finish his statement, LeDuc interjected again.

“Gentlemen, we’re not going to get argumentative,” he said.

Van Laan, addressing Lee, stated he didn’t understand why he had become so hostile.

“Why would you initiate a 114 mph chase for a speeding ticket when you could just check a Flock camera and find out who it was and go get them,” Van Laan asked.

Lee responded that he had answered the question — he didn’t know who the driver was.

At this point, the two began talking over each other, which led to LeDuc interjecting again.

“Don’t talk over each other,” LeDuc said. “Place a question on the floor, Mr. Van Laan, and officer, you answer that question as thoroughly as you can. We’re not going to have arguments on my floor.”

Van Laan asked again about Flock cameras and if they could have been used to get the license plate of the vehicle, which Lee responded stating “yes.”

Van Laan then asked Lee if the citizens of Warren were being kept safe if he’s pursuing a suspect at high speeds.

“Are they kept safe when you’re chasing a speeder at 114 mph,” Van Laan asked.

“At that point it wasn’t a speeder, it was a criminal,” Lee responded.

Van Laan then stated it had only become a criminal matter because Lee initiated a high speed chase.

“Reckless driving, not a civil issue, criminal,” Lee stated. “Running from the police, criminal.”

Van Laan ended by asking Lee if he would do anything over again, which was met with an objection by Nelson, after which Van Laan ended his questioning of the witness.

Nelson, on cross-examination questioning Lee, asked if a Flock camera could identify whether or not the driver of a vehicle was the registered owner, which Lee said it could not.

“So if you were to commit a criminal act in my car, like reckless driving, careless driving, fleeing and eluding and you got away, would the police come to your door, or would they come to my door?” Nelson asked.

Lee stated officers would come to the owner’s house.

Van Laan then asked if police officers would ask who was operating the vehicle.

Lee said this would have been the case, unless the vehicle was stolen. Van Laan responded by asking if the vehicle Grier was driving had been reported stolen.

LeDuc then interjected again.

“Mr. Van Laan, I’m a veteran judge, 55 years. You hit the nail on the head, but then don’t keep hitting it,” he said.

“The nail keeps coming back out, judge,” Van Laan said before he ended his questioning again.

Lee was then released, and Warren police officer Andrew Piasecki was called to testify.

Piasecki responded to the scene of the crash, stating it was “chaotic.”

“There were multiple vehicles that were crashed, multiple police cars there, multiple officers on foot everywhere,” he said.

Piasecki testified that officers performed life-saving measures on Drew before the Warren Fire Department arrived. Paramedics transported her to the hospital. Piasecki said he went to the hospital where Drew was transported, where he was informed she had been declared dead.

Modern additions

fire up Chevrolet Fleetmaster Coupe’s vintage ride

METRO DETROIT — David Watson wanted to buy a classic car that represented the year of his birth: 1947.

The St. Clair Shores resident looked around but didn’t find one made that year. He got as close as he could, though, by purchasing a striking 1948 Chevrolet Fleetmaster Coupe. He bought the car in 2004.

While the white vintage vehicle — with the decorative purple and blue flames — is 77 years old, Watson had it modernized over the years at local shops.

“When I got it, it was all white. I had the flames painted on it,” he said. “I put the rims on it.”

If you look under the hood, you’ll see the motor of a 1991 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z.

“It’s just a modern engine. It’s fuel-injected,” Watson said. “It has a digital dash, power steering, power brakes, power windows, and a custom interior. It’s an automatic. All the shiny parts are stainless steel.”

Other updates were completed to keep the car running smoothly. The transmission was rebuilt, air conditioning was added, and there also is a power antenna and a power trunk. So he could play music, an AM/FM radio and a compact disc player were installed. And “breaker one nine,” the car has

a citizens band radio that works, although Watson doesn’t use it.

The ’48 model does not have any door handles but rather shaved doors. The shaved doors were a popular trend that gave cars a smooth look.

Perhaps you’ve come across the car around town. One spot Watson likes to take the coupe on a regular basis to is Eddie’s Drive-In in Harrison Township, which has a classic car show from 4 to 8 p.m. every Sunday during the warmer months.

“That’s my favorite place to go,” Watson said.

Watson sometimes shows up to the weekly car shows from 5 to 8 p.m. Thursdays at St. Margaret’s Catholic Church in St. Clair Shores, and to the Friday night car shows from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Walter F. Bruce Veterans of Foreign Wars Post No. 1146, also in St Clair Shores. He made it to the Eastpointe Crusin’ Gratiot car show June 14 at Eastpointe High School.

“There’s somewhere to go every day,” the car buff said. “People wave and they give you a thumbs-up.”

He also comes across people whose dads or grandpas once owned a 1948 Chevrolet Fleetmaster Coupe, which generally sparks conversations. Watson’s car gets around, as it was featured in the background of a commentary video for the 2008 Clint Eastwood film “Gran Torino.” Watson used to go to Kalamazoo for the Street Rod Nationals, which he said was great for meeting other car enthusiasts.

“The newest car that could get in was a ’48,” Watson said. “Anywhere from 1925 up to ’48.”

Watson has always been into cars.

“When I was 15 years old, I started working on cars. I would go to people’s houses. The first car I ever worked on was a 1953 Buick convertible. A straight-A car, three speeds on the column,” he said. “My neighbor gave it to me. He said, ‘Here, it doesn’t run. You can have it.’ At that time, there was nowhere to donate them. You just took it to the junkyard. This was in ’62.”

Watson found a Buick book and discovered it was the coil causing problems for the convertible.

“I put a coil on it and I gave it back to him,” said Watson, who found a new pastime fixing cars in the neighborhood. “I got really busy. I couldn’t do it anymore. Too many cars at the house.”

At age 21, while working for Chrysler, Watson bought his first car, a 1969 Plymouth Road Runner. Price tag: $2,850.

“It was a ’69, but I bought it in December of ’68. We were making, I think, $3.40 an hour,” Watson said. “The car payment was $100 a month, but I paid $1,000 a year for insurance in 1969, which was a lot of money then; it’s a lot of money now. The first year, I put 30,000 miles on that car. I just went everywhere. My mother would pull her hair out because at the time there were no cellphones and no way to track you.”

As a young adult, Watson cruised Woodward Avenue. Maverick’s Drive-In, Big Boy and the Totem Pole on Woodward were regular hangouts.

“You would go and mingle,” he said. “You could cruise then and people would pull over and stop. You could talk to them.”

The Road Runner was like a second home.

“I slept in the car out on Woodward more than I slept in my house. You get tired, too far to drive,” Watson said. “I had police wake me up, ‘Hey, what are you doing?’ I’m in the back sleeping.”

starting in the fall.
