AREAS. FORTUNATELY NO ONE WAS
HURT, BUT PEOPLE IN THE
NEIGHBORHOODS THERE ARE NOW LEFT

ROLLING IN AND THEN IT WAS
REALLY DARK AND WINDY AND RAINY,
AND THEN I SAW THE PEACH TREE
BACK THERE PEAR TREE FALL, AND
THEN WE LOOKED OVER HERE AND
THERE WAS JUST A MESS. TREE WAS

DIDN’T GO THAT WAY. FELL ON THE
FENCE. MINIMAL DAMAGE, YOU KNOW?

CULTURE MULCH IT ALL UP. NOW
MOVING TO DETROIT’S WEST SIDE.

TURNING OUR ATTENTION NOW TO THE
CORONAVIRUS, AND WE JUST GOT OUR
WEEKLY CORONAVIRUS DATA UPDATE
FROM THE STATE AND HERE ARE THE
NUMBERS THE STATE IS REPORTING
19,535 CASES FOR THE WEEK. SO
THIS AVERAGES 2 2791 CASES PER
DAY. 50 MORE PEOPLE DIED THIS
WEEK FROM COVID 19 IN THE STATE
OF MICHIGAN REPUBLICAN
BUSINESSMAN PERRY JOHNSON WILL
NOT BE ON THE AUGUST PRIMARY
BALLOT. THIS IS AFTER THE
MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS
REJECTED A LEGAL CHALLENGE HE
FILED AFTER BEING DISQUALIFIED
FROM THE BALLOT. JOHNSON ALONG
WITH JAMES CRAIG, AND THREE
OTHERS RUNNING FOR GOVERNOR WERE
DISQUALIFIED BECAUSE OF A LACK
OF VALID PETITION SIGNATURES.
FORMER DETROIT POLICE CHIEF
JAMES CRAIG AND FINANCIAL
ADVISOR MICHAEL MARQUIS OF GRAND
HAVEN ALSO FILED LEGAL
CHALLENGES. WE’LL KEEP YOU
POSTED ON THE STATUS OF THOSE
VIOLINS AS WE LEARN MORE WE’VE
HEARD FROM SEVERAL PEOPLE ABOUT
DELAYS WITH ITEMS THEY PAID FOR
TO MEMORIALIZE LOVED ONES AT A
CEMETERY IN DETROIT. ONE WOMAN
CONTACTED US AFTER WAITING MORE
THAN A YEAR FOR A HEADSTONE.
FORCED LAWN CEMETERY, BLAMED IT
ON SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES AND
PROMISED INSTALLATION WOULD
HAPPEN SOON. VICTOR WILLIAMS IS
AT FOREST LAWN WITH AN UPDATE ON
THE STORY. YEAH YOU MAY BE
CALLED THIS WOMAN BEING ONE OF
MANY DEALING WITH A SIMILAR
SITUATION RIGHT AT FOREST LAWN
CEMETERY. BUT ALL THAT HAS
CHANGED THANKS TO LOCAL 4 MAKING
A DIFFERENCE FOR REAL WELL, THAT
JOURNEY WAS KIND OF STRESSFUL
AROUND THIS TIME. JUST A FEW
MONTHS AGO, CORRIDOS HAD BEEN
WAITING FOR A HEADSTONE TO BE
INSTALLED FOR HER LATE MOTHER,
FLORENCE. IT HAD BEEN OVER A
YEAR SINCE SHE HAD PAID MORE
THAN $2000. AND NOTHING STRESSED
BECAUSE OF THAT. I LOST. MY MOM
DID THE HEADSTONE LIKE A YEAR
LATER. SO I’M FIGURING BECAUSE
OF THE PANDEMIC. IT WOULD BE A
LITTLE LONGER. YOU GUYS COULD
JUST GIVE US SOME ANSWERS THAT
WILL BE NICE FORWARD TO JUST A
FEW WEEKS AFTER OUR COVERAGE ON
HER SITUATION, AND I FEEL MUCH
BETTER THAN I WENT OUT MONDAY
AND DISCOVERED THAT THE STONE
HAD BEEN INSTALLED. AT SOME
POINT. THE HEADSTONE WAS
INSTALLED, AND IT’S MORE THAN
WHAT CORA COULD HAVE IMAGINED.
IT WAS YOU KNOW THE SAME STONE
THAT WE ORDERED, AND IT WAS MUCH
BIGGER THAN I THOUGHT IT WAS
GOING TO BE, SO I’M VERY PLEASED
WITH THE WORK THAT THEY DID. NOW
HER FAMILY IS MORE ABLE TO FIND
THE GRAVE SITE, MAKING IT EASIER
TO VISIT FLORENCE AT THE
CEMETERY. AND CORA COULDN’T BE
MORE GRATEFUL. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH. LOCAL CHANNEL FOUR FOR
HELPING ME WITH THE SITUATION. I
DON’T THINK WITHOUT YOU I
WOULDN’T GET MUCH DONE. AND AS
YOU CAN TELL, CORA IS PRETTY
GLAD THAT HER PROBLEM HAS BEEN
SOLVED. SHE’S JUST HOPING THAT
OTHERS CAN HAVE THE SAME RESULTS
. VICTOR WILLIAMS LONG TIME SHE
HAD TO WAIT. BUT GLAD IT’S
FINALLY SOLVED. VICTOR THANK YOU
. CHECK UPS ARE A CRITICAL PART
OF HEALTHCARE, OFTEN ALLOWING
DOCTORS TO DETECT PROBLEMS IN
THE EARLIEST STAGES WHEN THEY’RE
MORE EASILY TREATED, BUT A NEW
NATIONAL SURVEY FINDS MANY MEN
DON’T THINK THEY’RE NECESSARY.
ASSEMBLY AREN’T GOING DEXTER
GRANT CONSIDERS HIMSELF A FAIRLY
HEALTH CONSCIOUS GUY. BUT WHEN
IT COMES TO GETTING A CHECKUP
LAST NIGHT WENT WAS WHEN I WAS
GOING TO COLLEGE WHEN I WAS 18,
SO WE’RE TALKING ALMOST TWO
DECADES SINCE THE LAST ANNUAL
CHECKUP AS A PRIMARY CARE
PHYSICIAN. IT’S A STORY DR
THOMAS KELLY. HERE’S A LOT FROM
MEN. A NEW NATIONAL SURVEY BY
ORLANDO HEALTH. FINDS A THIRD OF
MEN IN AMERICA DO NOT BELIEVE
THEY NEED ANNUAL HEALTH
SCREENINGS. THINK DEEP DOWN WHAT
IT IS. IT’S FEAR, YOU KNOW, YOU
REALLY SAY THAT. OH WE DON’T
WANT TO GO. I’M FINE, BUT DEEP
DOWN. YOU’RE SCARED THAT IF YOU
GO SEE YOUR DOCTOR, HE’S GOING
TO GIVE YOU THAT TERRIBLE NEWS,
AND NOBODY WANTS TO HEAR. SOME
MEN ALSO SKIP THEIR CHECKUPS
BECAUSE THEY ASSUME THEY WOULD
KNOW IF SOMETHING WAS WRONG. THE
SURVEY FOUND. TWO THIRDS OF MEN
BELIEVE THEY ARE NATURALLY
HEALTHIER THAN MOST PEOPLE. BUT
THAT JUST DOESN’T ADD UP. JUST
STATISTICALLY, THAT WOULD BE
IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE MAJORITY OF
MEN TO BE HEALTHIER THAN THE
MAJORITY OF MEN. DR. KELLY SAYS
PRIMARY CARE IS CRUCIAL AT EVERY
AGE TO PREVENT DEVELOPING HEALTH
ISSUES FROM BECOMING MORE
SERIOUS. I WOULD MUCH RATHER GO
TO THE DOCTOR ONCE A YEAR FOR A
WELLNESS, CHECK UP AND MAKE
CERTAIN THAT I’M NOT DEVELOPING
DIABETES OR HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
OR HEART PROBLEM THAN TO FIND
MYSELF IN AN INTENSIVE CARE UNIT
NEEDING A HEART BYPASS SURGERY
BECAUSE I DIDN’T LOOK INTO THOSE
THINGS. THE SURVEY ALSO FOUND
NEARLY TWO IN FIVE MEN PUT THEIR
PETS HEALTH. ABOVE THEIR OWN AND
A THIRD OFTEN GET MEDICAL ADVICE
FROM SOCIAL MEDIA INSTEAD OF
MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS, GRANT
FINALLY GOT A CHECK UP AND PLANS
TO MAKE IT AN ANNUAL COMMITMENT
FROM NOW ON. ONCE WE WENT
THROUGH THE QUESTIONS THAT HE
DID, AND I DID THE BLOOD WORK.
YOU LOOK BACK AND YOU’RE LIKE,
OH, I SHOULD HAVE DONE THAT A
LONG TIME AGO. THAT’S RIGHT. I
SHOULD HAVE DONE A LONG TIME
AGO. DR KELLY SAYS IT IS
IMPORTANT TO KEEP THAT
APPOINTMENT EVEN WHEN YOU FEEL
HEALTHY PROBLEMS LIKE HIGH BLOOD
PRESSURE, HIGH CHOLESTEROL ARE
CALLED SILENT KILLERS FOR A
REASON, BECAUSE THEY GENERALLY
DON’T CAUSE SYMPTOMS. UNTIL THEY
