ADAMS TAKES HER SHOW ON THE ROAD . >> WELL, THAT’S ALL RIGHT,

A FROSTY NIGHT, BUT WE ARE
THINKING ABOUT OUR SUMMER BUCKET
LIST. I AM LIVE IN A LOCATION
THAT ALL OF OUR WDIV’S INSIDERS
SAID YOU HAVE TO VISIT THIS
SUMMER. PLUS, I’LL HAVE YOUR
HOLIDAY WEEKEND FORECAST. AND WE
ARE OVER A BIG GAS GIVEAWAY IN
MACOMB COUNTY.
>> WE ARE GOING TO TELL YOU WHO

>> LOCAL 4 NEWS STARTS NOW WITH
A BREAKING NEWS ALERT. FIRST, AT

>> GRAMMY WINNING POWERHOUSE
ENTERTAINER TINA TURNER HAS DIED
. HER LEGENDARY CAREER SPANNED
DECADES, STARTING WHEN SHE
TEAMED WITH EX-HUSBAND IKE
TURNER. BUT CLIMBING EVEN HIGHER
AFTER THEIR DIVORCE DURING A
REMARKABLE COMEBACK. FANS WILL
NEVER FORGET. HITS LIKE PROUD
MARY RIVER, DEEP MOUNTAIN HIGH
AND WHAT’S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH
IT? WE ARE TOLD TURNER DIED
AFTER A LONG ILLNESS AT HER HOME
NEAR ZURICH, SWITZERLAND. TINA
TURNER WAS 83 YEARS OLD. GOOD
AFTERNOON, EVERYBODY. I’M KAREN
DREW. WELL, WE ARE FOLLOWING AN
ALL OUT PUSH RIGHT NOW HERE AT
HOME TO REDUCE VIOLENT CRIME.
ALSO HIT THOSE WHO VICTIMIZED
PEOPLE IN DETROIT HARD. THIS
AFTERNOON, THE US ATTORNEY,
ALONG WITH MAYOR MIKE DUGGAN,
WAYNE COUNTY PROSECUTOR KYM
WORTHY AND DETROIT POLICE CHIEF
JAMES WHITE, LAID OUT THEIR
ENHANCED SUMMER ENFORCEMENT PLAN
THAT WILL SATURATE PARTS OF THE
EIGHTH AND NINTH PRECINCTS.
WATCH FOR POLICE, ATF AND FBI
AGENTS GOING AFTER ILLEGAL GUNS
, CARJACKERS AND PEOPLE WHO
COMMIT ROBBERIES. THEN OFFICIALS
PLAN TO PROSECUTE OFFENDERS IN
FEDERAL COURT WITH STIFFER
PENALTIES.
>> THOSE FOLKS ARE GOING TO HAVE
AN OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE BETTER
DECISIONS. BUT FOR THOSE WHO
DON’T, FOR THOSE WHO CHOOSE TO
VICTIMIZE OUR COMMUNITY, WE’RE
GOING TO BE LASER FOCUSED AND
THEY’RE GOING TO GET THE FULL
ATTENTION OF THE DETROIT POLICE
DEPARTMENT. THIS PARTNERSHIP,
FEDERAL AND STATE PARTNERS, TO
GET YOU OFF THE STREET.
>> US ATTORNEY DON EISEN CITES
AREAS OF THE EIGHTH PRECINCT ON
THE WEST SIDE, ALSO AREAS OF THE
NINTH ON THE EAST SIDE. AS THE
MOST DANGEROUS AREAS OF THE
CITY, WITH THE MOST DANGEROUS
PEOPLE, SHE SAYS. EXPECT A
RELENTLESS APPROACH TO MAKING
THOSE AREAS MORE SAFE FOR THE
PEOPLE WHO LIVE THERE. WELL,
TODAY, THE DETROIT RIVERFRONT
CONSERVANCY HELD A RIBBON
CUTTING CEREMONY TO MARK THE
OFFICIAL OPENING OF THE
SOUTHWEST GREENWAY. IT IS
DESIGNED TO PROVIDE A SAFER
ROUTE TO THE DETROIT RIVERFRONT
AND THE SOUTHWEST. GREENWAY IS
MORE THAN HALF MILE LONG PATH
CONNECTING THE RIVERFRONT TO
MICHIGAN CENTRAL AND THE NEARBY
NEIGHBORHOODS. THE GRAND OPENING
ALSO KICKS OFF AN EFFORT TO
RAISE $350 MILLION TO COMPLETE
THE DETROIT RIVERFRONT FUND.
CONSTRUCTION OF THE JOE LOUIS
GREENWAY, AND ALSO SUPPORT THE
MAINTENANCE OF BOTH PROJECTS. SO
IF YOU SAW A BUNCH OF FIRST
RESPONDERS NEAR GROSSE EEL
MUNICIPAL AIRPORT, DO NOT BE
ALARMED. IT WAS ONLY A DRILL.
SEARCH AND RESCUE TEAMS FROM
ACROSS SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN ARE
GEARING UP FOR SUMMER SAFETY
TODAY. THEY SIMULATED AN
EMERGENCY RESPONSE TO A PLANE
CRASH. OFFICIALS SAY THIS WAS
THE LARGEST DIVE TEAM EXERCISE
EVER ORGANIZED IN THE STATE.
TONIGHT AT SIX, WE’RE GOING TO
TALK ABOUT HOW THE EXERCISE WENT
AND ALSO TO SEE WHAT OFFICERS
LEARNED. HOUSE SPEAKER KEVIN
MCCARTHY SAYS REPUBLICAN
NEGOTIATORS ARE AT THE WHITE
HOUSE TRYING TO REACH A DEAL TO
RAISE THE GOVERNMENT’S DEBT
CEILING. THEY HAVE EIGHT DAYS
UNTIL THE GOVERNMENT COULD START
DEFAULTING ON ITS BILLS, BUT
THEY ACTUALLY NEED A DEAL EVEN
SOONER TO GIVE CONGRESS ENOUGH
TIME TO PASS THAT LEGISLATION.
REPUBLICANS WANT THE GOVERNMENT
TO SPEND LESS MONEY IN 2024 THAN
IT IS SPENDING NOW. SOUNDS
SIMPLE, BUT DEMOCRATS HAVE
STRONG IDEAS ABOUT WHAT SHOULD
BE CUT AND WHAT SHOULD NOT BE.
TREASURY SECRETARY JANET YELLEN
SAYS THE MARKETS ARE ALREADY
SHOWING SIGNS OF STRESS SINCE A
DEAL IS NOT DONE. IN FLORIDA,
GOVERNOR RON DESANTIS JUST FILED
PAPERWORK DECLARING HE IS
RUNNING FOR THE WHITE HOUSE IN
2024. IS PART OF A DAY LONG
PUBLICITY BLITZ. OVERNIGHT, HIS
WIFE MADE IT PRETTY CLEAR HER
HUSBAND WILL RUN, RELEASING THIS
VIDEO SHOWING DESANTIS WALKING
ONTO TO A FLAG DRAPED STAGE.
PLUS, NBC NEWS REPORTS DESANTIS
WILL OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCE AT 6
P.M. DURING A CHAT WITH ELON
MUSK ON TWITTER. OKAY, LET’S
CHANGE THINGS UP A BIT. SUMMERS
IN MICHIGAN ARE SO MUCH FUN, BUT
THEY DO GO BY SO QUICKLY, DON’T
THEY? WELL, TODAY AT LOCAL 4, WE
ARE LAUNCHING OUR SUMMER BUCKET
LIST. IT’S A MULTI MEDIA
CHECKLIST OF FUN STUFF WE CAN
ALL DO, SHARE OUR PHOTOS AND
MAKE THE MOST OF A PURE MICHIGAN
SUMMER. ONE ITEM ON THAT LIST,
CHECKING OUT A NEW TRAIL AND
THAT IS WHAT OUR HOBBY IS DOING
UP NEAR TRAVERSE CITY THIS
AFTERNOON. SO WHERE ARE YOU
EXACTLY? HOBBY. YEAH
>> KAREN WE TRAVERSED ACROSS THE
STATE HERE TO OUTSIDE OF
TRAVERSE CITY TO EXPERIENCE A
WHOLE NEW THING HERE IN
MICHIGAN, A PURELY NEW
EXPERIENCE FOR PURE MICHIGAN
THIS SUMMER. AND IT’S CALLED
WHEELS ON RAILS. AND YES, IT IS
KIND OF LIKE A BIKING TRAIL, BUT
IT ON TRAIN TRACKS. CHECK THIS
OUT. MACY HEFFRON IS THE OWNER
AND FOUNDER OF THIS NEW VENTURE.
AND MACY, WHAT GAVE YOU THE IDEA
OF TO TAKE A BIKING TRAIL BUT
PUTTING IT ON THE TRACKS TO LET
PEOPLE EXPERIENCE SOMETHING
TOTALLY DIFFERENT? YEAH, FOR
SURE.
>> I MY FIRST JOB OUT OF HIGH
SCHOOL WAS WORKING FOR MDOT, AND
SO I WAS IN THE OFFICE OF RAIL
AND I JUST GAINED A HUGE PASSION
FOR THE RAILROAD INDUSTRY AND
ALSO CYCLING WHEN COVID HIT. SO
I PUT MY TWO PASSIONS TOGETHER
AND CAME UP WITH RAIL BIKING.
IT’S ACTUALLY HAPPENING OUT EAST
AND OUT WEST, BUT NOWHERE NEAR
MICHIGAN IN AND SUPER EXCITED TO
ACTUALLY HAVE IT HERE. FINALLY,
IT’S BEEN LIKE THREE YEARS IN
THE MAKING BUT THEY HAVE SPECIAL
MANUFACTURED RAILROAD WHEELS AND
YOU JUST GLIDE DOWN THE OUT OF
SERVICE RAILROAD TRACK AND KIND
OF FUNNY LOOKING. BUT THEY’RE SO
FUN.
>> BUT IT IS FUN AND HOW DID YOU
COME UP WITH THE IDEA AS YOU
SAID, THIS IS OUT ON THE EAST
COAST. IT’S OUT IN CALIFORNIA,
IT’S OUT IN OREGON. BUT TO BRING
IT TO THE MIDWEST SO PEOPLE HERE
IN MICHIGAN CAN EXPERIENCE IT,
WHAT SPARKED THAT IDEA? YEAH, I
THINK MICHIGAN’S SPECIAL BECAUSE
WE’RE KNOWN AS PURE MICHIGAN AND
IT’S SO BEAUTIFUL.
>> EVEN DOWN STATE, BUT MORE SO
UP HERE IN THE NORTH. AND SO
BRINGING IT TO THE TRAVERSE CITY
AREA, SEEING THE INS AND OUTS OF
THE WOODS AND HOW PRETTY UP
NORTH MICHIGAN IS, IT’S JUST A
PERFECT LOCATION TO START IT.
AND THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL TIME OF
THE YEAR FOR PEOPLE TO
EXPERIENCE IT.
>> I THINK ONE QUESTION THAT
PEOPLE WILL HAVE, THOUGH, IS
WHAT DOES THE TRAIL LOOK LIKE
WHENEVER YOU GET OUT THERE?
WE’LL TAKE YOU THERE COMING UP
AT FIVE. BUT WHAT CAN PEOPLE
EXPERIENCE WHEN THEY SIT ON ONE
OF THESE? YEAH, WE HAVE TWO ROAD
CROSSINGS THAT WE’RE GOING OVER.
>> WE HAVE SOME SPRING FED
CREEKS. WE’LL BE TURNING AROUND
UNDER A SUPER AWESOME BRIDGE
WITH SOME FUN GRAFFITI AND THEN
TALL TREES. OF COURSE, THAT’S
WHAT YOU GET IN NORTHERN
MICHIGAN. AND AS WE SAID, COMING
UP AT 5:00, WE’LL BE GETTING ON
THIS ALL TOGETHER, TAKING A RIDE
AND TAKING YOU THROUGH
EVERYTHING.
>> SO WE’LL BE BUCKLING UP AND
READY TO ROLL. WE’LL HIT THAT
TURNTABLE RIGHT THERE AND TURN
THIS THING AROUND AND HEAD INTO
THE WOODS. THAT WAY TO SHOW YOU
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT WHEN YOU GET
ON ONE OF THESE TRAIN BIKES. I
GUESS YOU COULD SAY. YEAH, TRAIN
BIKE HERE AT WHEELS ON RAILS
COMING UP A LITTLE BIT LATER,
KAREN HOEY, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> I AM STEALING THIS IDEA. THAT
LOOKS SO COOL. I CAN’T WAIT TO
YOUR 5:00 LIVE SHOT. IT’S VERY
UNIQUE.
>> IT’S VERY UNIQUE. CANNOT WAIT
TO GET TO SEE WHAT WE
EXPERIENCED COMING UP LATER ON.
>> YOU’RE GOING TO HAVE FUN. ALL
RIGHT. WE’LL CHECK BACK IN A
LITTLE BIT LATER. THANKS, HOBIE.
BY THE WAY, OUR SUMMER BUCKET
LIST COMES FROM OUR WDIV
INSIDERS, BUT WE’RE PRETTY SURE
THEY INCLUDE SUMMER ADVENTURES
WE ALL CAN ENJOY. SO TONIGHT AT
FIVE, WE REVEAL OUR COMPLETE
LOCAL 4 BUCKET LIST AND HOW YOU
CAN JOIN US ALL SUMMER LONG. AT
SIX, WE TAKE YOU TO A SMALL TOWN
ON LAKE HURON. MANY OF OUR
WDIV’S INSIDERS SAID WE REALLY
NEEDED A CHECKOUT AND IT IS JUST
A SHORT DRIVE AWAY, SO COME
ALONG FOR THE RIDE AT FIVE AND
SIX. FOREWARN METEOROLOGIST KIM
ADAMS GETTING IN ON THIS BUCKET
LIST ACTION. SHE IS AT ANOTHER
HOT SPOT. COLIN PLAZA IS ON THE
DETROIT RIVER WALK AND IT IS A
GORGEOUS DAY TO BE OUT THERE.
KIM OH, IT’S SO PRETTY AND
THERE’S SO MANY THINGS TO DO.
>> I MEAN, HOW MANY TIMES HAVE
YOU COME DOWNTOWN AND SAID, BOY,
I DIDN’T KNOW THIS WAS HERE. WE
SHOULD COME DOWN MORE OFTEN ON
THE RIVERWALK IS JUST AN AMAZING
PLACE AND IT’S ONE OF THE PLACES
THAT OUR WDIV’S INSIDERS SAYS,
YOU KNOW WHAT? EVERYBODY NEEDS
TO EXPERIENCE THIS. AND MAYBE
YOU’RE A BOATER OR MAYBE YOU
WANT TO BE A BOATER BUT CAN’T
QUITE AFFORD A BOAT. WELL, YOU
CAN STILL ENJOY THE DETROIT
RIVER. AND I’LL TELL YOU HOW
COMING UP. BUT FIRST, WE NEED TO
TALK ABOUT THE FORECAST BECAUSE
EVEN THOUGH WE ARE TALKING ABOUT
A SUMMER BUCKET LIST, IT FEELS
NOTHING LIKE SUMMER TONIGHT.
RIGHT NOW, WE’RE STILL PRETTY
MILD, ALTHOUGH IT IS BREEZY.
TEMPERATURES IN THE 60S DOWNTOWN
, BUT STILL HANGING ON TO 72. IN
ADRIAN, 62 IN PONTIAC, 64 IN
HOWELL COLD FRONT CAME THROUGH
THIS MORNING AND IT IS LEAVING
BEHIND SOME PRETTY CHILLY AIR,
ESPECIALLY IN OUR NORTHERN
SUBURBS. SO THERE IS A FROST
ADVISORY THAT GOES INTO EFFECT
AT 2 A.M. UNTIL 8 A.M. TOMORROW
FOR LIVINGSTON, OAKLAND, MACOMB
COUNTIES, TEMPERATURES WILL BE
DROPPING DOWN AT THE SURFACE TO
FREEZING. SO WE WILL HAVE SOME
FROST. NOW WE’LL GET A LITTLE
BIT OF A WIND OVERNIGHT AND THAT
SHOULD HELP SOME OF THE FROST.
SO IT’LL BE MORE PATCHY, BUT
DEFINITELY OVERNIGHT LOWS
TONIGHT AS WE GO THROUGH TIME
WILL BE DROPPING DOWN IN SOME
SPOTS INTO THE 30S AND THE LOW
40S. WHAT ABOUT THE WEEKEND
FORECAST? IT WILL BE WARMING UP
AND I’LL TALK MORE ABOUT THE
DIAMOND JACK RIVER CRUISE. I
CAN’T WAIT TO TELL YOU ABOUT. IT
IS SOMETHING I’VE ALWAYS WANTED
TO DO. SO IT’S ON MY BUCKET LIST
AS WELL. KAREN I REMEMBER DOING
THAT WITH MY DAD WHEN HE CAME TO
TOWN.
>> IT WAS SO SPECIAL. SO I CAN’T
