DID PETITIONS. DARCY MCCONNELL IS THE SPOKESPERSON FOR REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM FOR ALL I
GUESS. WORD SALAD FROM THE
OPPOSITION TRYING TO CONFUSE
PEOPLE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. BUT THE
BUREAU WAS CLEAR ABOUT WHAT THE
ROLE OF THE BOARD IS. THE VOTERS
WERE CLEAR 730,000 AND SAID, WE
WANT TO PROTECT REPRODUCTIVE
RIGHTS AND RESTORE ROLE IN
MICHIGAN, MICHIGAN RIGHT TO LIFE
LED THE OPPOSITION IN GENEVIEVE
MORNIN TOLD LOCAL 4 NEWS THAT
SHE LOST PETITION FIGHTS LIKE
THIS ONE IN THE PAST AND KNOWS
THE STING THAT COMES WITH IT.
THEY THROW AWAY THOUSANDS AND
THOUSANDS OF SIGNATURES ON OUR
DISMEMBERMENT ABORTIONS BECAUSE
ONE H OF THE WATER OF THE WORD
THAT WAS MISSING. SO IT’S REALLY
VERY STRICT SCRUTINY THAT THEY
HAVE TO DO ON THESE FORMS. AND I
DON’T YOU KNOW YOU AND I CAN
DISAGREE THAT THEY SHOULD BE
THAT STRICT, BUT THAT IS THE
RULE. AS FOR WHAT HAPPENS NEXT,
FORMER U. S ATTORNEY BARBARA
MCQUADE SAYS A LOT HAS TO HAPPEN
VERY QUICKLY HERE. TIME IS OF
THE ESSENCE SEPTEMBER. 6TH IS
NEXT WEEK AND SO IF THEY WANT TO
ACT THAT NEED TO FILE QUICKLY
AND THEN A COURT WOULD HAVE
DISCRETION TO DECIDE WHETHER IT
WANTS TO GRANT RELIEF TO PREVENT
THAT FROM HAPPENING OR IF IT’S
GOING TO TRY TO MAKE A DECISION
QUICKLY TO BE ABLE TO
ACCOMMODATE THAT. NOW BOTH SIDES
DID NOT WANT TO HAVE ANY MORE
REAL DISCUSSION ABOUT WHAT’S TO
HAPPEN WITH THE SUPREME COURT.
THEY DON’T WANT TO GET AHEAD OF
THINGS, AND THEY DON’T WANT TO
SAY SOMETHING THAT’S GOING TO
COME UP AND HEARING AND SO NOW,
JUST A QUESTION OF WHEN THEY
HAVE THIS HEARING AND HOW
QUICKLY IT CAN BE ADJUDICATED
BACK TO YOU, ANOTHER TRACK
THAT’S BEEN MOVING ALONG HERE,
ROD, SO DOES THIS MEAN ANYTHING
FOR THE COURT OF APPEALS?
ATTEMPTING TO STAY THE 1931
ABORTION LAW. WELL AS IT STANDS
RIGHT NOW. AND AS BARBARA
POINTED THIS QUESTION, BECAUSE
SHE’S CERTAINLY MORE QUALIFIED
TO ANSWER IT. SHE BASICALLY SAID
THAT THEY WILL TAKE THIS UP
FIRST AND TAKE CARE OF THAT AND
THEN SEE WHAT HAPPENS WITH THE
BALLOT. AND IF IT DOESN’T GET TO
THE BALLOT, THEN THINGS CHANGE
IN TERMS OF WHAT GOES ON, AND
PERHAPS THE SUPREME COURT HAVING
TO DEAL WITH THAT AFTER THE
BALLOT PROPOSAL GETS TAKEN CARE
OF 31 LAW AND THE GOVERNOR’S
FIGHT AGAINST THAT IT’S SORT OF
BEEN LOOMING IN THE BACKGROUND
HERE ALL ALONG. ALL RIGHT, ROD
ROD MELONI REPORTING FROM
LANSING. MEANWHILE METRO
DETROITERS FINDING WAYS TO TRY
TO GET BY TENS OF THOUSANDS OF
PEOPLE GO ON NOW, 48 HOURS WITH
NO POWER, SAYS MORE THAN 164,000
. CUSTOMERS ARE STILL IN THE
DARK AFTER MONDAY’S STORMS,
THEY’RE HOPING TO HAVE POWER
RESTORED TO AT LEAST HALF THE
CUSTOMERS BY TONIGHT AND 80% BY
TOMORROW NIGHT. MEGAN WOODS IS
LIVE IN SHELBY TOWNSHIP. MEGAN
FROM LIBRARIES TO CHURCHES.
EVERYONE IS TRYING TO MAKE THE
BEST OF ALL OF THIS. THAT’S
RIGHT. AND WE’VE BEEN ALL OVER
LIKE YOU MENTIONED WERE IN
SHELBY TOWNSHIP RIGHT NOW, BUT
WE’VE BEEN IN DETROIT WEST
BLOOMFIELD, AND SOME OF THOSE
PLACES THERE SEEM RESTORED POWER
LIKE THE TRAFFIC LIKE WE’RE AT
RIGHT NOW, BUT IT’S NOT
NECESSARILY WORKING PROPERLY,
AND THAT’S THE CHALLENGE THAT A
LOT OF PEOPLE ARE FACING SO
COMMUNITIES DURING THIS
FRUSTRATING TIME ARE STEPPING UP
TO GIVE SOME ENCOURAGEMENT. LONG
HOT DAYS. THE HARD PART IS NOT
KNOWING WHEN RESTORATION IS
COMING, WHETHER YOU LIVE IN
DETROIT, WEST BLOOMFIELD OR
SHELBY TOWNSHIP. THESE LAST
THREE DAYS WITHOUT POWER HAVE
BEEN EXHAUSTING. IT WAS KIND OF
ROUGH FOR US BECAUSE THE KIDS
WERE GETTING AROUND FOR SCHOOL
IN THE MORNING DIDN’T HAVE
LIGHT. IT DOESN’T HELP THAT MANY
PEOPLE ARE ALSO STILL WORKING
FROM HOME AND SHELBY TOWNSHIP.
PEOPLE FLOCKED TO THE LIBRARY
ABOUT 15 MINUTES BEFORE WE
OPENED, AND TUESDAY MORNING, OUR
PARKING LOT WAS PACKED. THERE
WASN’T A SPACE TO BE HAD PEOPLE
EVEN PARKING ACROSS THE STREET
AND WALKING OVER COMMUNITY
ORGANIZATION, FRIENDS OF THE
SHELBY TOWNSHIP LIBRARY WERE
ABLE TO PURCHASE PIZZA AND
SNACKS. AND NOW SIGNS LIKE THIS
ARE AT THE ENTRANCE. IT’S THE
LEAST WE CAN DO IS TO PROVIDE A
LITTLE COMFORT. THEN THERE’S
PLACES LIKE TRIUMPH CHURCH IN
DETROIT. DESPITE THE LOSS OF
POWER, AND NO P A SYSTEM NO, A C
AND NO LIGHTS. THEY MOVE FORWARD
WITH BIBLE CLASSES TUESDAY AND
WEDNESDAY. THEY HAD A FUNERAL.
WE’RE DOING A LOT OF FANNING THE
OLD SCHOOL CHURCH FANS, AND I’M
SURE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE
FAMILIAR WITH ALSO, THE DOME
ALLOWS FOR NATURAL LIGHT TO COME
IN, THEY SAY IN TIMES LIKE THIS,
THEY STILL HAVE TO SERVE THE
PEOPLE. WE HAVE THE CAPACITY TO
RISE ABOVE OUR CIRCUMSTANCES
RATHER BE TEMPORARY OR EVEN MORE
CHRONIC AND LONG TERM, BUT I
THINK IT’S IMPORTANT WHEN
EVERYTHING ELSE SHUTS DOWN FOR
THE CHURCH TO BE EVER PRESENT.
AND WE DID SPEAK TO DTE EARLIER
, THEY SAY, ON TOP OF THE MORE
THAN 1000 LINEMEN THEY HAD OUT
IN THE FIELD ON MONDAY AND
TUESDAY. TODAY THEY HAVE MORE
THAN 1000 FROM OUT OF STATE
HELPING. THEY’RE WORKING AROUND
THE CLOCK TO RESTORE POWER. THEY
ALSO SAY IF YOU NEED WATER AND
ICE, THEY HAVE DISTRIBUTION
SITES, AND WE HAVE THAT ON
CLICKONDETROIT.COM IN SHELBY
TOWNSHIP. I’M MEGAN WOODS LOCAL
4, SO FRUSTRATING, BUT WE KNOW
THOSE MEN AND WOMEN WHO ARE
WORKING THE LINES. THEY’RE DOING
THE BEST THAT THEY CAN. MEGAN,
WE APPRECIATE YOUR UPDATE
TONIGHT. THIS JUST IN THE BOIL,
WATER ADVISORY AND COMMERCE,
TOWNSHIP AND WALLED LAKE HAS
BEEN LIFTED, BUT IT IS STILL IN
EFFECT IN NOVI A GREAT LAKES
WATER AUTHORITY STATION
TEMPORARILY LOST POWER MONDAY.
SPARKING THAT ORDER. A 19 YEAR
OLD IS FORMALLY CHARGED IN A
RANDOM SHOOTING SPREE ON
DETROIT’S WEST SIDE. PROSECUTORS
HAVE CHARGED DANTE SMITH IN THE
SPREE THAT LEFT FOUR PEOPLE SHOT
THREE OF THEM DEAD. SMITH FACING

2.5 HOURS EARLY SUNDAY MORNING.
MEANWHILE WE’RE HEARING FROM THE
ONLY SURVIVOR OF THE SHOOTINGS,
JOHN POLLOCK, ALONG WITH HIS DOG

THREATENING INJURIES.
FORTUNATELY HE RECALLED HIS
ENCOUNTER WITH THE GUNMAN. HE

FIRST TWO SHOTS HIT HIM. AND
THEN THE THEN THE SECOND TWO
SHOTS. HE GOT ME RIGHT HERE.
SMITH RIGHT NOW BEING HELD
WITHOUT BOND. ALSO, DETROIT
POLICE NEED YOUR HELP AND
IDENTIFYING ONE OF THE VICTIMS.
SHE WAS SHOT AND KILLED AROUND 5
30 SUNDAY MORNING IN THE AREA OF
MARGARITA AND WYOMING. POLICE
SAY SHE HAD A MULTICOLORED PURSE
THAT CONTAINED NEW YORK GREEN
NEW YORK BASKETBALL SHORTS
INSIDE, AS YOU SEE HERE, IF
YOU’VE GOT ANY INFORMATION ON
WHO THIS MIGHT BE, AND AGAIN
THIS IS NOW THREE DAYS SINCE THE
SHOOTING, PLEASE CALL CRIME
STOPPERS RIGHT AWAY. STUDENTS
ARE RETURNING BACK TO SCHOOL AND
SAFETY IS TOP OF MIND FOR SO
MANY PARENTS RIGHT NOW. TONIGHT
ONE DISTRICT IS BEING PROACTIVE
TO PREVENT TRAGEDIES AND THEY’RE
DOING IT WITH THESE KEY FOBS.
KIM DEGUILIO IS IN NORTHVILLE TO
SHOW US HOW THEY WORK. HERE AT
NORTHVILLE HIGH SCHOOL. THERE
ARE MORE THAN 40 DOORS TO GET
INTO THIS BUILDING, ALL OF WHICH
ARE LOCKED. BUT IN THE EVENT OF
AN EMERGENCY, OUR FIRST
RESPONDERS NEED TO BE ABLE TO
GET IN, BUT GAINING ACCESS OR
EVEN BREAKING DOWN THIS DOOR
COULD BE THE DIFFERENCE OF LIFE
AND DEATH. WE DON’T WANT IN
NORTHVILLE. ANY OFFICER TO HAVE
TO THINK. HOW DO I GO AND DO
WHAT I NEED TO DO RIGHT NOW.
NORTHVILLE PUBLIC SCHOOL
SUPERINTENDENT R. J WEBER
EXPLAINS THEIR DISTRICTS PLAN ON
HOW TO BE PROACTIVE IN AN EVENT
THAT FIRST RESPONDERS WOULD NEED
TO ENTER A BUILDING IN THEIR
DISTRICT. EVERYTHING CHANGED IN
THE WORLD OF EDUCATION AFTER
COLUMBINE EVERYTHING THAT’S WHY
TODAY THE POLICE OFFICERS WHO
SERVE IN THIS DISTRICT RECEIVED
FIVES THAT ALLOW IMMEDIATE
ACCESS TO EVERY DOOR IN EVERY
SCHOOL IN THE DISTRICT. WE
CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE ANY TYPE
OF DELAY IN ENTERING THE SCHOOL.
AND SO BY HAVING THE ELECTRONIC
ACCESS PHIBES. IT’S GONNA LET
OUR OFFICERS IMMEDIATELY GET TO
THE THREAT AND IMMEDIATELY STOP
IT ELECTRONIC. SO IT ELIMINATES
THE FEAR OF WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF
ONE WAS MISPLACED. LET’S SAY YOU
LOSE ONE OF THESE. SO YOU LET
THE STATION KNOW THAT YOU DID IN
OUR TEAM CAN TURN IT OFF IN A
SECOND. WEBER SAYS. THIS WAS AN
IDEA THERE DISTRICT CAME UP WITH
TOGETHER AND HE HOPES THAT
SOMETHING MORE DISTRICTS ADOPT
AS MANY ALREADY HAVE THE
TECHNOLOGY INSTALLED. LET’S
SHARE THIS WITH OUR BROTHERS.
AND SISTERS AND EDUCATION AND
LAW ENFORCEMENT IS WIDELY AS WE
CAN. TO HELP PEOPLE SEE THAT
THERE ARE MANY THINGS THAT CAN
ALREADY BE DONE WITHOUT HAVING
TO WAIT FOR A MANDATE OR
LEGISLATION OR EVEN ADDITIONAL
FUNDING. ALL THREE DEPARTMENTS
NOVI, NORTHVILLE AND NORTHVILLE
TOWNSHIP RECEIVED THOSE FABS
TODAY, WHICH MEANS THIS TUESDAY
WHEN THE SCHOOL YEAR STARTS,
THOSE OFFICERS WILL BE READY.
REPORTING IN NORTH BELL
KIM DEGUILIO FOUR LOCAL KIM NOW
TO HEALTH NEWS TODAY, A NEW
DURABLE SURFACE COATING THAT CAN
KILL BACTERIA AND VIRUSES, PLUS
HAVE SOME SIMPLE TESTS OF
PHYSICAL FUNCTION MIGHT HELP
PEOPLE FIND PEOPLE AT HIGHER
RISK OF SERIOUS CARDIOVASCULAR
DISEASE. BUT FIRST DR FRANK
MCGEORGE IS HERE, WITH NEW DATA
SHOWING A DECREASE IN AMERICAN’S
LIFE EXPECTANCY, DOC. YEAH KIM
AND DE’VEON, ACCORDING TO THE
CDC, LIFE EXPECTANCY AT BIRTH
DROPPED BY NEARLY A YEAR IN 2020
AND 2021 GOING FROM 77 YEARS TO
JUST A LITTLE OVER 76 YEARS NOW
, THE LAST TIME IT WAS THAT LOW
WAS ACTUALLY 1996. NOW, AS
EXPECTED, COVID 19 DROVE ABOUT
HALF OF THE DECLINE BUT ARISE IN
ACCIDENTAL DEATHS AND DRUG
OVERDOSES, ALONG WITH HEART
DISEASE AND CHRONIC LIVER
DISEASE ALSO CONTRIBUTED. NOW.
HERE’S AN INTERESTING THING. THE
LIFE EXPECTANCY GAP BETWEEN MEN
AND WOMEN. ALSO GREW IN 2021.
FOR WOMEN. THE LIFE EXPECTANCY
IS NOW ALMOST SIX YEARS LONGER
THAN MEN AT 79 YEARS COMPARED TO
A MAN’S 73 YEARS. NOW A TEAM OF
UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN ENGINEERS
HAS DEVELOPED A NEW DURABLE
SURFACE CODING THAT IN TESTING
CAN KILL SURFACE BACTERIA AND
VIRUSES FOR MONTHS, SO THE
POLYURETHANE COATING, WHICH IS
CLEAR CAN ACTUALLY BE BRUSHED OR
SPRAYED ON AND IT GETS ITS GERM
KILLING POWER FROM THE
ANTIMICROBIAL MOLECULES DERIVED
FROM TEA, TREE OIL AND CINNAMON
OIL, WHICH HAVE BOTH BEEN USED
FOR CENTURIES AS EFFECTIVE GERM
KILLERS THAT WORK IN UNDER TWO
MINUTES. THE RESEARCHERS
ESTIMATE THIS TECHNOLOGY COULD
ACTUALLY BE COMMERCIALLY
AVAILABLE WITHIN A YEAR. FINALLY
A NEW PAPER, PUBLISHED IN THE
JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN HEART
ASSOCIATION, FINDS A SIMPLE TEST
OF PHYSICAL FUNCTION AND PEOPLE
OVER 65 COULD HELP IDENTIFY
THOSE AT INCREASED RISK OF
SERIOUS CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE.
THE TEST ACTUALLY LOOKS AT
SIMPLE THINGS LIKE WALKING,
SPEED, LEG STRENGTH AND EVEN
BALANCE. SO REALLY, THE BOTTOM
LINE TO THIS IS, AS WE AGE
DECLINES IN PHYSICAL FUNCTION
THAT ARE REALLY IMPORTANT
MARKERS OF POTENTIALLY WORSENING
HEALTH. BACK TUESDAY. OKAY
