DEATH OF THE COUNTY’S TOP HEALTH
OFFICIAL DOCTOR, CALANDRA GREEN

MURDER SUICIDE. DR. GREENE WAS
THE HEALTH OFFICER FOR OAKLAND

COWORKERS SAY IT WAS UNLIKE HER
TO MISS WORK. HER STAFF WAS WITH
HER AT AN EVENT THE NIGHT BEFORE
AT OAKLAND UNIVERSITY, A COUPLE
OF HER, UM NURSES WERE GETTING
HONORED WITH A NIGHTINGALE AWARD
. AND, OF COURSE, CALANDRA HAD
TO BE THERE TO ENCOURAGE THEM ON
AND SHE WAS THERE AT OAKLAND
UNIVERSITY THE EVENING BEFORE
PEOPLE TALK TO HER. EVERYTHING
APPEARED NORMAL AND FINE AND SHE
WAS HEARD NORMAL. HAPPY SOUTH. A
MOTIVE IN THE SHOOTING IS UNDER
INVESTIGATION. WE ARE TALKING TO
MORE PEOPLE WHO KNEW HER ABOUT
WHY SHE WAS SUCH A PILLAR IN THE
COMMUNITY, AND WE’LL HAVE THAT
PART OF THE STORY WHEN YOU JOIN
US AT FIVE. ALL RIGHT, SO SOME
CHANGES IN THE FORECAST AS WE
HEAD INTO MOTHER’S DAY WEEKEND
FORWARD METEOROLOGIST KIM ADAMS
IS TRACKING OUR CHANCE FOR RAIN
. BUT IT’S NOT A WASHOUT, NOT BY
ANY MEANS. IN FACT SUNDAYS
LOOKING PRETTY NICE AT THIS
POINT, A LITTLE CLOUDIER THAN
WHAT WE MIGHT LIKE. BUT
DEFINITELY THE CHANCE OF RAIN IS
VERY, VERY SMALL. BUT THERE ARE
A FEW SHOWERS OUT THERE TONIGHT
NOW DRYING DOWNTOWN DETROIT. BUT
IF YOU GO OUT TO THE WEST JUST A
LITTLE BIT JUST NORTH OF ANN
ARBOR OVER TO CHELSEA, GETTING A
FEW LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS AND THEN
AS WE HEAD BACK HOME AGAIN, IT
DOES DRY OUT. BUT WE CAN’T RULE
OUT JUST A SPOTTY, VERY LIGHT
SHOWER THIS EVENING, BUT MOST
AREAS WILL STAY DRY, AND IT’S
PRETTY MILD TEMPERATURES RIGHT
NOW IN THE UPPER SEVENTIES,
EXCEPT FOR DOWNTOWN DETROIT THAT
HAS POPPED UP TO 81, 79, PONTIAC
AND 74 IN MOUNT CLEMENS.
TOMORROW LOOKS LIKE A PRETTY
DECENT DAY. CLOUDY IN THE
MORNING AND 62 DEGREES, BUT WE
DO GET BREAKS OF SUN BY THE
AFTERNOON WITH TIMBER. CHER’S
WARMING INTO THE UPPER SEVENTIES
AND I’LL TIME OUT THE CHANCE FOR
ANY RAIN ON SUNDAY. COMING UP IN
YOUR FORECAST. ALRIGHT LOOKING
FORWARD TO IT. THANKS KIM 42 HAS
OFFICIALLY ENDED. SO NOW THE
SITUATION ALONG THE SOUTHERN
BORDER IS GROWING MORE INTENSE,
WITH THOUSANDS OF MIGRANTS
WAITING TO ENTER THE U. S AND
THERE’S ALSO NEW CONCERN FOR THE
SAFETY OF THE MIGRANTS AND THE
ALREADY OVERWHELMED BORDER
COMMUNITIES. KIMBERLY GAIL JOINS
US NOW WITH THE VERY LATEST
DEVELOPMENTS IN THE U. S IS
TRYING TO OBVIOUSLY DETER PEOPLE
FROM CROSSING ILLEGALLY THEY ARE
AND KAREN. GOOD AFTERNOON TO
YOU, THE HEAD OF HOMELAND
SECURITY IS THREATENING TOUGHER
CONSEQUENCES FOR PEOPLE WHO DO
NOT USE A LEGAL PATHWAY. HEY
INTO THE U. S. IT INCLUDES A
MINIMUM FIVE YEAR BAN ON REENTRY
AND POSSIBLE CRIMINAL CHARGES.
BUT DESPITE THAT WARNING
THOUSANDS ARE STILL TRYING TO
CROSS THE SOUTHERN BORDER LIKE
THIS WOMAN AND HER FAMILY, WHO
TRAVELED THROUGH SEVEN COUNTRIES
BEFORE ENTERING EL PASO, TEXAS.
MY DREAMS ARE MANY FIRST IS TO
GIVE A BETTER FUTURE FOR MY
KIDS. OTHER MIGRANTS WERE LINED
UP AT MIDNIGHT AT THE PORTS OF
ENTRY IN YUMA, ARIZONA, WAITING
FOR THE RESTRICTIONS TO LIFT
PASS SO MANY WORDS ESCORTED INTO
BORDER PATROL BUSSES TITLE 42
WAS ENACTED DURING THE PANDEMIC
, ALLOWING THE U. S GOVERNMENT
TO EXPEL MIGRANTS MORE QUICKLY.
THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND
SECURITY EXPECTS ABOUT 10,000
PEOPLE TO CROSS EACH DAY, BUT
OFFICIALS SAY THEY HAVEN’T SEEN
SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN CROSSINGS
IN THE HOURS SINCE TITLE 42 WAS
LIFTED. REPUBLICANS ARE BLASTING
THE WHITE HOUSE, SAYING THE
PRESIDENT HAS FAILED TO HAVE A
PLAN IN PLACE, BUT THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION IS DEFENDING ITS
RECORD. WE ARE READY TO PROCESS
AND SWIFTLY REMOVED PEOPLE
WITHOUT A LEGAL BASIS TO REMAIN
IN THE U. S. DO NOT BELIEVE THE
LIES OF SMUGGLERS. MIGRANTS ARE
BEING BUSSED TO OTHER PARTS OF
THE COUNTRY TO TWO BUSLOADS
ACTUALLY ARRIVED IN NEW YORK
CITY THIS MORNING. SO WHAT DO WE
KNOW? IN TERMS OF THE PROCESS
FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE TRYING
TO SEEK ASYLUM RIGHT, SO
MIGRANTS HAVE TO SEEK ASYLUM IN
ANOTHER COUNTRY BEFORE APPLYING
HERE, SO IF THEY COME THROUGH
MEXICO, THEY MUST TRY THERE
FIRST. AND THE A. C L U HAS
FILED A LEGAL CHALLENGE TO THAT,
CLAIMING THAT THAT PUTS
VULNERABLE PEOPLE IN DANGER. WE
WILL, OF COURSE, STAY ON TOP OF
THIS, AND WE’LL HAVE ANOTHER
UPDATE COMING UP AT FIVE. WE
APPRECIATE IT. SURE. THANK YOU.
WHILE THE MARINE VETERAN ACCUSED
OF PUTTING A HOMELESS MAN IN A
DEADLY CHOKEHOLD ON THE NEW YORK
SUBWAY TURNED HIMSELF INTO
POLICE TODAY. DANIEL PENNY IS
CHARGED WITH MANSLAUGHTER IN THE
DEATH OF JORDAN NEELY. HE WAS A
SUBWAY ENTERTAINER WHO PERFORMED
DANCE ROUTINES IN COSTUME AS
MICHAEL JACKSON. LAWYERS FOR
PENNY SAY HE STEPPED IN TO
PROTECT HIMSELF AND OTHERS
BECAUSE NEARLY WAS THREATENING
PASSENGERS. ANOTHER WITNESS WHO
RECORDED THE INTERACTION SAYS
NEARLY HAD NOT GOTTEN PHYSICAL
WITH ANYONE. THE DEATH SPARKED
PROTESTS IN NEW YORK CITY. MANY
APPEARED IN COURT AND WAS FREED
PENDING HIS TRIAL. THE MEETING
PLAN TODAY ON THE DEBT CEILING
HAS BEEN POSTPONED UNTIL NEXT
WEEK, PRESIDENT BANNON WAS SET
TO MEET WITH THE FOUR TOP
LEADERS IN CONGRESS AS THE U. S
FACES A DEADLINE IN JUST THREE
WEEKS. TREASURY SECRETARY JANET
YELLEN WARNS THE U. S. COULD
DEFAULT IN JUNE, CAUSING AN
ECONOMIC CATASTROPHE. BOTH SIDES
ARE STANDING FIRM ON A DEAL, BUT
SOURCES SAY THE POSTPONEMENT
MEANS THINGS ARE PROGRESSING.
MICHIGAN IS KNOWN FOR ITS
INCREDIBLE FALL COLORS. WE KNOW
THAT BUT HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT
SPRINGTIME COLORS, SO THEY
REALLY ARE JUST AS BEAUTIFUL.
YOU GOT THE REDS, PINKS,
PURPLES. THEY REALLY ARE SO
VIBRANT. SO AS OUR FALL ORANGES
AND GOLDS OBVIOUSLY ARE GORGEOUS
. SO ARE THE SPRINGTIME COLORS.
TUBMAN LIVE IN WASHINGTON
TOWNSHIP FOR US TO TAKE US ON A
TOUR OF MICHIGAN’S SPRING COLORS
. PAULA, YOU’VE GOT ME
INTRIGUED. OKAY GOOD. I’VE GOT
YOUR ATTENTION. SO I’M AT
WESTFIELD ORCHARDS AND WINERY.
IT ISN’T WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP
NEAR ROMEO. KAREN DON’T BE
JEALOUS. NO, BE DULLES. TAKE A
LOOK AT MY OFFICE VIEW. LET’S GO
TO DRONE FOR SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT
MY OFFICE VIEW LOOKS LIKE TODAY.
ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. YOU KNOW
THE THING ABOUT MICHIGAN’S
SPRING COLORS IS IT CAN BE
FLEETING, SO KEEP IN MIND,
UNLIKE THE FALL WITH THE LEAVES
ARE ACTUALLY DYING, AND WE’RE
WATCHING THE LEAVES DIE IN THE
SPRING. THINGS ARE SPRINGING TO
LIFE. AND SO WE’RE REALLY
LOOKING AT THE FUTURE, BUT
HERE’S THE THING SPRING COMES TO
LIFE IN A BIG FAT HURRY. THE
FIRST STOP OF THE SPRING COLORS
TOUR HAS TO BE OUR ORCHARDS,
APPLE BLOSSOMS ARE HITTING THEIR
PEAK PREPARING TO BEAR FRUIT,
BUT IN ORDER TO DO SO THEY MUST
FIRST ATTRACT THE BEES TO
POLLINATE THEM. AND SO THEY ARE
PUTTING ON A DAZZLING SHOW.
KATRINA ROY IS 1/6 GENERATION
FARMER HERE AT WEST VIEW, AND
THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING
TIMES OF THE YEAR AT THE ORCHARD
BEFORE THE FRUIT ACTUALLY
ARRIVES. FOUR GIVES A SENSE OF
THE SPLENDOR, BUT YOU HAVE TO
THINK OF SPRING COLORS
DIFFERENTLY, UNLIKE FALL WHERE
THEY WORK THEMSELVES TO A PEAK
BEFORE THE LEAVES FALL, AND YOU
HAVE WEEKS TO ENJOY THE PROCESS.
THE CAUSE OF SPRING ARE FLEETING
AND THE SEASON ROLLS AS
DIFFERENT SPECIES COME INTO
BLOOM AT DIFFERENT TIMES. THIS
IS THE TIME TO BE INSPIRED TO
RECONNECT WITH NATURE. IT’S THE
BLOSSOMS ARE OUT. THE BEES ARE
OUT. THE BIRDS ARE BACK. IT’S
JUST THE SOUNDS THE SMELLS OF
SPRING. JUST BRING YOU BACK TO
YOUR ROOTS. ALONG THE ROADWAYS
TAKE A MOMENT TO ENJOY LUSH
CARPETS OF FLOWERS, DRINKING THE
COLORS OF THE CREEPING THYME AS
ITS SEEMINGLY SPILLS OVER ROCKS
AND ROLLING HILLS. APPLES ARE
STUNNING. THEY BATHE THE
LANDSCAPE AND COLOR AND PUT ON A
SHOW THAT FEW OTHER TREES CAN
RIVAL. THIS TREE IS JUST, UM
WHEN I COME OUT HERE TO GO ON
WALKS TO JUST GET A BREAK FROM
MY DESK. THIS IS ALWAYS
SOMETHING THAT I’M STOPPING TO
LOOK AT, BECAUSE IT’S JUST SO
GORGEOUS AND JUST BRINGS A
LITTLE JOY TO THE DAY. WE’RE
COMING TO THE END OF THE
MAGNOLIA BLOOM. BUT IF YOU
HAPPEN TO SEE A MAGNOLIA TREE
STOP AND SMELL THE BLOSSOMS SO
SWEET AND FRESH, THEY PUT MOST
MAN MADE PERFUMES TO SHAME. IT
WAS VERY PLEASANT, SWEET,
HONESTLY, SOMETHING I WOULD
EXPECT. I DON’T KNOW. SMELL IF I
WAS ON VACATION OR SOMETHING
LIKE THAT TULIPS AND HYACINTHS
AND CROCUSES BLANKET, THE
LANDSCAPE AND EVEN THE LOWLY
DANDELION, A NUISANCE WEED BY
ANY OTHER NAME, BUT IF YOU STOP
AND LOOK AT IT, MEYER ITS COLOR
AND ITS TENACITY. IT’S SOMETHING
TO ADMIRE BEFORE YOU
EXTERMINATED. GET INSPIRED. THIS
IS THE TIME OF YEAR TO GET
INSPIRED. YEAH, IT IS. WE’VE HAD
A LONG WEEK. IT’S FRIDAY. LET’S
DRINK IN THIS VIEW ONE MORE TIME
. THIS IS 150 ACRES OF AMAZING
STUFF GROWING AT ALL DIFFERENT
KINDS OF SEASONS, AND MICHIGAN
IS A GROWING STATE. THERE’S SO
MUCH TO SEE. COME ON. BACK DOWN
HERE. COME ON, BACK DOWN TO THE
GROUND RIGHT HERE, SO I CAN TELL
YOU WHAT’S COMING UP NEXT, AND
IT’S GOING TO BE LILACS. IT’S
GONNA SMELL AMAZING AS WELL AS
THE LAVENDER IN JUNE, AND THEN
DON’T FORGET ABOUT THOSE ROSES.
THOSE BRUSH ROSES THAT YOU’LL
SEE ALONG THE ROADS AND IN
PEOPLE’S YARDS. THERE’S ALWAYS A
REASON TO ENJOY THE BEAUTY OF
MICHIGAN, ESPECIALLY ON A FRIDAY
, KAREN MADE SAY SO MYSELF. I
GET WHAT I LOVE THIS STORY
BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE WE DO PUT SO
MUCH ATTENTION ON THOSE FALL
COLORS AND WE KIND OF ZOOM I
THOSE SPRING COLORS AND YOU KIND
OF REALLY UPLIFTED OUR SPIRITS
ON A FRIDAY IT WAS GREAT.
AWESOME THE BLOOMS. IT’S
BLOOMING AGAIN, DARLING, THE
LILIES I’M BLOOM AGAIN, DARLING
