INDUSTRY INSIDERS TELL US WHAT
THE PROBLEM IS AND WHEN YOU
MIGHT SEE A SOLUTION.
>> THE STATE’S ATTORNEY GENERAL
SAYS SHE’S HANDED OVER A CASE OF
16 REPUBLICANS WHO FORGED
ELECTION DOCUMENTS IN 2020 TO
FEDERAL PROSECUTORS.
COMING UP, WHAT SHE SAYS COULD
BE AT STAKE HERE AT THE STATE
LEVEL FOR THAT SAME GROUP.
>> Kimberly: .
>> Karen: AND THE LOCAL
FORECASTERS ARE TRACKING SINGLE
DIGITS TEMPERATURES AND THEIR
EYES ON SOMETHING ELSE THAT
COULD BE COMING THE BEGINNING OF
NEXT WEEK.
>> LIVE FROM DOWNTOWN DETROIT,
HOME OF WDIV AND CLICK ON
DETROIT.
LOCAL 4 NEWS AT 5:00 STARTS NOW.
>> Devin: AND WE’LL START NOW
WITH THE CORONAVIRUS SURGE IN
MICHIGAN SHOWING NO SIGNS OF
SLOWING DOWN.
THE STATE REPORTS 37,114 NEW
CASES OVER THE PAST TWO DAYS.
AVERAGING OUT TO 18,000 CASES A
DAY, WELL ABOVE THE NUMBERS WE
SAW FROM THE MIDDLE OF THIS
WEEK.
251 MORE DEATHS ARE REPORTED,
INCLUDING 140 THAT COME FROM A
VITAL RECORDS REVIEW.
>> Karen: TAKE A LOOK AT THE
SEVEN-DAY MOVING AVERAGE AND THE
NUMBERS SHOW IT MAY HIT A
PLATEAU AND IT’S TOO EARLY TO
TELL.
AND THERE ARE MORE SCHOOLS THAT
MAY HAVE TO SWITCH BACK TO
VIRTUAL LEARNING.
>> Devin: AND PUTS PARENTS IN A
DIFFICULT DECISION BECAUSE THEY
HAVE TO MAKE THOSE DECISIONS
QUICKLY.
AND YOU’RE TAKING TO TWO MOMS
WHO ARE MAKING IT WORK.
>> ONE FAMILY IS IN THE BRIGHTON
AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT AND THE
OTHER AT UTICA COMMUNITY SCHOOLS
AND BOTH FAMILIES SAY THEIR
DISTRICTS ARE REACTIVE AS
OPPOSED TO PROACTIVE AND WITH
CASES SPIKING, AND THEY SAY THAT
THE DISTRICTS SHOULD BE DOING
EVERYTHING TO KEEPING KIDS.
>> AND I’M PUTTING IN COLOR
CODING.
>> WE DO MINDFULNESS, AND YOGA
AND MY HUSBAND BOUGHT ME A
PUNCHING BAG AND THAT’S
THERAPEUTIC.
>> TWO COUNTIES, ONE IN MACOMB,
THE OTHER IN LIVINGSTON, TAKING
THEIR CHILDREN’S ACADEMIC YEAR
ONE DAY AT A TIME.
IT’S FRUSTRATING TO THEM.
SHE DOESN’T KNOW WHETHER SHE’S
GOING TO SCHOOL OR NOT.
SHE WANTS TO GO TO SCHOOL AND I
HAVE TO TELL HER THAT HER
CLASSROOM IS CLOSED.
>> HER FOUR-YEAR-OLD IS AT HOME
WAITING ON A PCR TEST AFTER A
STUDENT TESTED POSITIVE THIS
WEEK AND CHRISTINA’S YOUNGEST
TWO HAVE STAYED HOME BECAUSE OF
THE CASES AND ELDEST TWO VIRTUAL
UNTIL THE END OF THE MONTH.
>> IT’S A LOT TO KEEP TRACK OF
AND QUITE FRANKLY, FRUSTRATING
TO SEE LACK OF MITIGATION
STRATEGIES THAT WE KNOW WORKED
LAST YEAR, IMPLEMENTED EVEN
THOUGH WE SEE A RISE IN CASES.
>> BOTH MOMS WANT MASK MANDATES
AS THE OMICRON CRIPPLES PLANS
FOR A SO-CALLED NORMAL SCHOOL
YEAR.
>> AND UTICA SCHOOLS WANT A
NORMAL IN-PERSON ENVIRONMENT AND
THIS IS THE FOURTH QUARANTINE
THAT I’VE EXPERIENCED WITH TWO
CHILDREN IN THE UTICA COMMUNITY
SCHOOLS.
IT’S EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING, IT’S
DISAPPOINTING
DISAPPOINTING.
>> AND EVEN THOUGH THESE MOMS
HAVE NEVER MET, THEY SHARE A LOT
IN COMMON.
THEY SAY THAT THEIR HEARTS FW
OUT TO THE TEACHER WHO THEY SAY
ARE IN AN IMPOSSIBLE SITUATION.
BOTH WANT THEIR COUNTY HEALTH
DEPARTMENTS TO STEP UP AND BOTH
ARE IN FAVOR OF MASK MANDATES
AND WE KNOW THAT’S BEEN A HOT
BUTTON ISSUE FOR MONTHS.
REPORTING LIVE TONIGHT, PRIYA
MANN, LOCAL 4.
>> Devin: WE’LL TALK ABOUT THAT,
THE PUSH FOR MASK MANDATES IN
SCHOOLS.
WHAT ARE YOU HEARING?
>> YEAH, THAT PROPOSAL WAS BY
THE STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION AP
THE PROPOSAL WOULD HAVE MANDATED
MASKS FOR STUDENTS REGARDLESS OF
VACCINATION STATUS IN SCHOOLS
AND ON SCHOOL BUSES.
WELL, THE PUBLIC COMMENTS WERE
FLOODED WITH PEOPLE OPPOSED TO
THE IDEA, THAT PROPOSAL
ULTIMATELY FAILED.
IT’S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THE
MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
SAYS THE STATE BOARD OF
EDUCATION HAS NO AUTHORITY IN
MAN DATING MASKS OR VACCINES,
BACK TO YOU.
>> Devin: YOU BET.
>> Karen: THE STATE’S HEALTH
DEPARTMENTS ARE TEAMING UP WITH
18 LIBRARIES FOR FREE ADD HOME
COVID TEST.
NEARLY 1500 WERE SHIPPED TO
LIBRARIES ACROSS THE STATE AND
EACH SITE RECEIVED 300 AT HOME
TEST KITS THAT EACH INCLUDE ONE
TEST.
UP TO FIVE PEOPLE PER HOUSEHOLD
CAN RECEIVE ONE TEST KIT.
NOW, WE PUT A LIST OF THE
LIBRARY LOCATIONS ON
CLICKONDETROIT.COM.
>> Devin: WE’VE MADE IT TO
FRIDAY AND AFTER A BIT OF A
WARM-UP THIS WEEK WE HAVE A
CHILLY WEEKEND ON TAP.
>> Karen: LET’S TALK TO PAUL
GROSS AND TALKING SINGLE DIGITS
HERE.
>> Devin: I WANT TO WARM YOUR
HEART A LITTLE BIT.
THE SKY CAM, LOOK AT THE
BEAUTIFUL SUNSET HERE, THAT’S
JUST SPECTACULAR, THE
TEMPERATURES ARE NOT
SPECTACULAR, AND THEY CONTINUE
TO FALL.
WE’RE NOW DOWN TO 19 AT PORT
HURON AND ADRIAN AT 27.
IN THE SOUTH IT’S IN THE UPPER
20’S AND HOWELL AT 20, METRO
AIRPORT IS NOW AT 23 DEGREES AND
THERE’S A BREEZE OUT THERE.
SO THAT’S WIND CHILLS ARE COLDER
AND YOU CAN SEE FLURRIES, MAYBE
A FEW LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS, BUT
THEY DON’T END HERE.
THE RADAR IS RIGHT HERE, AND
THEY GET TO THIS POINT RIGHT
HERE AND THE RADAR BEAM IS ABOVE
THEM SO IT DOESN’T SEE WHAT’S
COMING OFF THE LAKE HERE, WE’LL
SHOW YOU MORE USING THE
SATELLITE COMING UP IN ABOUT 10
MINUTES.
IT’S REALLY COOL AND SHOW YOU
THE LAKE EFFECT STREAMERS.
IF YOU’RE HEADED OUT.
PLAN ON TEENS AND WIND CHILLS,
AND SINGLE DIGITS.
AND COME THIS WEEKEND WE’LL TALK
ABOUT THAT ALSO STRAIGHT AHEAD,
GUYS.
>> Devin: ALL RIGHT.
LET’S GET TO YOU A STORY OF
EARLIER THIS WEEK, NAMES OF 16
MICHIGAN REPUBLICANS WHO SIGNED
THEIR NAMES TO THIS FORGED
ELECTION DOCUMENT.
THEY’VE NOW BEEN HANDED OVER TO
FEDERAL PROSECUTORS AND AMONG
THEM ARE HIGH PROFILE
REPUBLICANS INCLUDING THE
CO-CHAIR OF THE PARTY.
A HIGH LEVEL TOWNSHIP OFFICIALS,
TOWNSHIP CLERK, REPUBLICAN
COMMITTEE MEMBER.
GRANT HERMES IS FOLLOWING THIS
STORY AND THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
DANA NESSEL PRETTY TIGHT LIPPED
ABOUT THIS EARLIER THIS WEEK AND
NOW WE KNOW IN.
>> EXACTLY, EARLIER THIS WEEK
THE OFFICE SAID THEY COULDN’T
TELL ME MORE ABOUT THE FORGED
DOCUMENTS BECAUSE THEY’RE PART
OF AN ONGOING PROBE AND THAT THE
ATTORNEY GENERAL THINKS THAT
THESE PAGES ARE PART OF A
NATIONWIDE CONSPIRACY.
>> IN AN INTERVIEW WITH MSNBC’S
RACHEL MADDOW, DANA NESSEL SAYS
THAT DOCUMENTS CERTIFYING
ELECTION OF DONALD TRUMP AND
MIKE PENCE HAS BEEN SENT TO
FEDERAL PROSECUTORS.
>> WE FORWARDED THIS TO THE U.S.
ATTORNEY’S OFFICE AND WE HOPE
THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE WILL
BECOME INVOLVED AND USE THE
INFORMATION THEY ALREADY HAVE TO
BETTER UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHAT
HAPPENED THAT DAY SO THAT
FEDERAL CHARGES CAN BE
EVALUATED.
>> SHE’S SAYING HER OFFICE HAD
BEEN INVESTIGATING THE FAKE DEW
POINTS FOR NEARLY A YEAR BEFORE
ULTIMATELY TURNING THEM OVER TO
THE FED.
WHAT WE DECIDE TO DO FOR THE
FEDERAL INVESTIGATION.
YOU’VE POINTED OUT MULTIPLE
TIME, FALSE SLATE OF ELECTORS
WITH SEVEN DIFFERENT STATES,
SEEMED TO BE A COORDINATED
EFFORT BETWEEN THE REPUBLICAN
PARTIES AND VARIOUS DIFFERENT
STATES.
>> POINTING TO DOCUMENTS
OBTAINED BY THE GROUP AMERICAN
OVERSIGHT, DRAFTED OR SENT IN
FROM GEORGIA, ARIZONA, NEVADA,
NEW MEXICO, PENNSYLVANIA AND
WISCONSIN EACH NEARLY IDENTICAL
TO THE ONES SENT FROM MICHIGAN.
THE CASE OF AN ATTEMPT TO
UNDERMINE AN ELECTION CONTINUING
TO UNFOLD PAGE BY PAGE.
>> AND TROUBLE FOR THOSE 16
REPUBLICANS COULD CONTINUE HERE
AT THE STATE LEVEL.
NESSEL SAYS SHE BELIEVE THEY
VIOLATED LAWS, INCLUDING FORGING
A PUBLIC DOCUMENT AND ELECTION
LAW FORGERY COMBINED AND THOSE
TWO WOULD MEAN 19 YEARS IN
PRISON.
WE DID ASK HER FOR AN INTERVIEW
TODAY, BUT HER OFFICE SAYS SHE’S
STANDING BY HER PREVIOUS
STATEMENTS.
BACK TO YOU.
>> Devin: WHAT ABOUT
REPUBLICANS, GRANT?
HEARING ANYTHING FROM THEM ABOUT
THESE ALLEGATIONS?
>> NOTHING SO FAR.
I DID REACH OUT FOR A COMMENT
TODAY, BUT DID NOT GET ANYTHING
BACK.
THEY HAVE BEEN QUIET ON OFFICIAL
CHANNELS AND ON SOCIAL MEDIA,
BUT BACK IN 2020 WHEN THESE
ALLEGATIONS WERE FIRST BROUGHT
UP ONLINE, CO-CHAIR MADDOCK TOLD
ONE OF THE PEOPLE ALLEGING THESE
THINGS, QUOTE, BRING IT ON.
>> Devin: THEY HAVE, ALL RIGHT.
GRANT.
A STRETCH OF I-75 NEAR THE
CONSTRUCTION OF THE GORDIE HOWE
INTERNATIONAL BRIDGE IS GOING TO
BE CLOSED.
>> Karen: THREE LEFT LANES OF
I-75 BETWEEN SPRING AND WATERMAN
STREET AND SOUTH SIDE WATERMAN
AND JUNCTION WILL BE CLOSED.
AND THEY WILL REOPEN BY 5 A.M.
MONDAY MORNING AND NIGHTLY
CLOSURES FROM MONDAY TO
WEDNESDAY FROM 7 P.M. TO 5 P.M.
AS NEEDED.
>> Devin: WELL, EASILY ONE OF
OUR MOST SHARED STORIES ON
CLICKONDETROIT.COM.
PINE KNOB BECAME DTE ENERGY
MUSIC THEATER 20 YEARS AGO, BUT
IT ISN’T GOING TO BE KEEPING
THAT NAME MUCH LONGER.
>> Karen: THEY DIDN’T USE THAT
NAME, OR I SHOULD SAY THE PUBLIC
DIDN’T RECOGNIZE IT.
PINE KNOB IS FINALLY GOING TO BE
CALLED PINE KNOB AGAIN AND
CHANGING THE VENUE AHEAD OF OF
THE 50 YEAR ANNIVERSARY.
>> NO OFFENSE TO DTE, BUT DTE
ENERGY THEATER NEVER STUCK FOR
SOME PEOPLE.
FOR MANY PEOPLE IT WAS AND AS
HALLS BEEN PINE KNOB MUDZSIC
THEATER ♪
.
>> IT HAPPENED AS PINE KNOB
MUSIC THEATER 50 YEARS AGO THIS
SUMMER WAS RENAMED DTE MUSIC
THEATER 20 YEARS AGO AND MANY
CONTINUED TO CALL IT BY THE
ORIGINAL NAME AND EVEN THE
ARTISTS PERFORMING HERE.
>> ARTISTS COME ON STAGE AND SAY
IT’S GREAT TO BE BACK TO PINE
KNOB.
PINE KNOB IS A BELOVED NOSTALGIC
THING FOR MANY, MANY
GENERATIONS.
>> HOWARD HANDLER, 313 PRESENTS
SAYS WHEN THE PARTNERSHIP WITH
DTE WAS UP AND WITH A NEW
SPONSOR THEY STARTED THINKING
ABOUT BRINGING BACK THE ORIGINAL
NAME.
>> WE START TODAY FEEL LIKE,
WOW, MAYBE WE COULD BRING BACK
THE PINE KNOB MUSIC THEATER NAME
AND GIVE IT BACK TO THE
COMMUNITY, IN CONJUNCTION WITH
THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY, WHICH IS
GOING TO BE HAPPENING THIS
SUMMER AND WHEN WE WENT AND
SPOKE TO UNITED WHOLESALE
MORTGAGE AND TRINITY HEALTH,
THEY SAID, WE LOVE THAT.
>> WELCOME BACK TO PINE KNOB
MUSIC THEATER.
>> WHAT’S SO SPECIAL ABOUT THE
NAME?
WHY COULDN’T PEOPLE GET USED TO
THE NEW ONE?
HOWARD SAYS BECAUSE WHEN IT
OPENED IT WAS THE FIRST OF ITS
KIND.
>> PINE KNOB MUSIC THEATER WHEN
IT STARTED IN 1972 IT WAS THE
VERY FIRST OF THE BIG
AMPHITHEATERS THAT WERE
FEATURING ROCK AND POP AND FUNK
AND SOUL AND R & B.
>> WITH A BIG ANNIVERSARY COMING
UP AND ITS ORIGINAL OFFICIALLY
BACK, YOU CAN EXPECT THIS PLACE
TO BE ROCKING THIS SUMMER.
AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THAT’S
JUST THE START OF IT.
MORE ACTS FOR THE 50TH
ANNIVERSARY ARE EXPECTED TO BE
ANNOUNCED IN THE UPCOMING
MONTHS.
REPORTING FROM PINE KNOB MUSIC
THEATER.
I’M KIM DIGIULIO, LOCAL 4.

FUN TRIVIA TO SHARE AROUND THE
DINNER TABLE.
THE FIRST ACT EVER TO PERFORM AT
PINE KNOB WAS DAVID CASSIDY,
TOOK THE STAGE BACK IN JUNE OF
1972, DEVLIN.

GOING BACK TO THE OLD ENOUGH AND
SAME REASON I LOVE THE GORDIE
