LOOK AT HART PLAZA WHERE THE
CROWDS ARE OUT FOR THE MOVEMENT
FESTIVAL PARKS AND POOLS AROUND
METRO DETROIT ARE PACKED RIGHT
NOW. THAT’S RIGHT, BELLE ISLE. I
WAS SO BUSY. THE DEPARTMENT OF
NATURAL RESOURCES CAN CLOSE OFF
THE ISLAND TWO CARS THIS
AFTERNOON. NOW WE UNDERSTAND. IT
JUST REOPENED A SHORT TIME AGO.
LET’S GET OVER TO ANDREW WITH
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT. IF YOU’RE
GRILLING OR HAVE SOME PLANS
OUTSIDE TONIGHT, CERTAINLY STILL
A SCORCHER OUT THERE SO
IMPORTANT TO GO AHEAD AND STAY
COOL AND TAKING A DIP. THAT IS
CERTAINLY ONE WAY TO DO IT.
DRINK PLENTY OF WATER TO NOW THE
WEATHER IS SET FOR
COMMEMORATIONS THAT ARE STILL
HAPPENING IN THIS EVENING, AND
THINGS ARE STILL WORKING OUT

HEAT IS BEING FELT ACROSS ALL OF
SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN. 87 RIGHT NOW
OVER THE AIRPORT, A STRONG WIND
OUT OF THE SOUTH SOUTHWEST THAT
AROUND 17 MPH KEEPING A STEAMY
AS WE GO THROUGH THE REST OF
THIS EVENING AS WELL TEMPT, STAY
IN THE EIGHTIES EVEN TOWARDS
SUNSET. NOW THE RECORD HIGH THIS
TIME OF YEAR 93 DEGREES WERE SIX
DEGREES SHY OF IT THAT WAS SET
BACK IN 2000 AND SIX ANOTHER

ON SENDING IN THOSE PHOTOS ON
LOCAL 4 STORM PINS. DUSTIN STENT
, THIS ONE IN YOU SEE FOLKS IN
THEIR T SHIRTS AS THEY CELEBRATE
OR COMMEMORATE MEMORIAL DAY OVER
IN GROSSE POINTE WOODS. MORE ON
TOMORROW’S FORECAST IN THE WEEK
COMING UP IN THIS 90 DEGREE
HEAT. PEOPLE LIVING AT ONE
DETROIT APARTMENT COMPLEX ARE ON
DAY FOUR OF NO POWER. IN FACT,
DTE SAYS IT’S A PROBLEM IN THE
BUILDING AT THE BEACH CLUB,
DETROIT ON JEFFERSON NEAR VAN
DYKE RIGHT ALONG THE RIVERFRONT
ROD MELONI SMITH TODAY THEY’RE
TALKING TO PEOPLE IN THIS
DANGEROUS HEAT SURROUNDED, THEY
GET SOME HOPEFUL ANSWERS TODAY.
WELL THERE ARE SOME HOPEFUL
ANSWERS, AND WE’LL HAVE THAT FOR
YOU IN JUST A SECOND. BUT WE
WANT TO TELL YOU THAT THE POWER
WENT OUT HERE 11 30 FRIDAY
MORNING, AND RESIDENTS HAVE BEEN
UPSET EVER SINCE. THEY SAY THAT
IT’S GOTTEN VERY HOT INSIDE,
CONSIDERING IT’S 90 DEGREES
OUTSIDE. THEY ALSO TELL US THE
REFRIGERATORS ARE AT ROOM
TEMPERATURE, AND THEY LOST A LOT
OF FOOD. THE DETROIT BEACH CLUB
IS THE COMPLEXES NEW NAME AND
WHY NOT? IT’S IN THE DETROIT
RIVER VIEWS OF BELLE ISLE, AND
THE BOATS ARE LOVELY ON A DAY
LIKE TODAY. NOT SO LOVELY THE
BLACKOUT INSIDE THE COMPLEX THEY
USED TO CALL RIVER TERRACE. WELL
THE NAME MAYBE KNEW THE
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS NOT AMY
CHAMBERLAIN MOVED HERE LAST
MONTH FROM INDIANAPOLIS. MY
HUSBAND’S A DIABETIC. HE KEEPS
HIS INSULIN IN THE REFRIGERATOR
. WE’VE HAD TO GO BUY BAGS OF
ICE A COUPLE OF TIMES A DAY TO
KEEP HIS MEDICINE. COOL. UM, HE
LITERALLY HAD TO GO TO A
FRIEND’S HOUSE TODAY TO BE ABLE
TO WORK WHILE A MANAGEMENT
OFFICE SIGNED OVER THE WEEKEND
TOLD RESIDENTS TO CALL D T E
BECAUSE IT WAS THEIR PROBLEM.
DETAILS LOCAL 4 ITS THE
BUILDINGS WIRING ISSUE. NEIGHBOR
MAX FAZELI MOVED IN THREE MONTHS
AGO, AND HE’S ANGRY. THE BIGGER
ISSUE IS THIS ISN’T A ONE TIME
THING YOU KNOW WE’D HAVE MORE
LENIENCY AND MORE UNDERSTANDING
IF IT WAS JUST SOMETHING THAT
HAPPENED, BUT IT’S BEEN GOING ON
FOR MONTHS. THIS AFTERNOON, THE
MANAGEMENT COMPANY HANDED OUT
RESTAURANT GIFT CARDS TO
RESIDENTS FOR WALKING DISTANCE
PLACES. YEAH AND SHORTLY BEFORE
THREE PM, TWO TRUCKS SHOWED UP
WITH A MASSIVE GENERATOR THAT’S
GOING TO TAKE HOURS TO INSTALL
AND GET RUNNING, AND RESIDENTS
REMAIN FRUSTRATED. IT’S JUST
BEEN A MESS, AND IT’S GETTING
HARDER AND HARDER. HARDER SO NO
A C NO WAY TO COOK. NO NOTHING.
YOU KNOW, WE’VE SPENT A TON OF
MONEY AND FOOD. WE LOST A TON OF
FOOD. IT’S JUST DISAPPOINTING.
BUT HERE IS THE HELP THAT IS
HERE. DTE TELLING ME THAT THIS
IS NOT IT’S EQUIPMENT, BUT IT
PROVIDED THE EQUIPMENT IN ORDER
TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN. YOU SEE THE
CRUISE HERE INSTALLING THE
ELECTRICAL WIRES. THEY’VE BEEN
IN TOUCH WITH THE OWNER, AND
THEY SAY THAT AS SOON AS SHE
GIVES THE OKAY THEY’LL BE
TURNING THIS ON. ONCE IT’S ALL
INSTALLED BACK TO YOU. HAVE YOU
SPOKEN TO THE OWNERS? OF THE
BEACH CLUB. I HAVE INDEED. IN
FACT, THE OWNER IS. SHE HAD A
DIFFICULT TIME LAST NIGHT. SHE
CAME HERE AND THE RESIDENTS WERE
QUITE ANGRY WITH HER. AND SO SHE
SAYS, SHE’S DOING EVERYTHING SHE
CAN. AND AS WE CAN SEE, SHE’S
GREENLIGHTED THIS SO THE LIGHTS
SHOULD BE BACK ON. WE’RE TOLD
BETWEEN, SAY, 78, MAYBE NINE
O’CLOCK TONIGHT AND THEY CAN GET
BACK TO NORMAL. ONE OF THE OTHER
THINGS THAT WE’RE HEARING IS IT
MAY TAKE A COUPLE OF WEEKS TO
GET THE BUILDING FIXED. SO THIS
MAY BE HERE FOR A WHILE. I HOPE
IT GETS LIGHTS ON AS SOON AS
POSSIBLE THERE. OKAY, ROD, WE
APPRECIATE IT. A SEARCH FOR
MISSING MOTHER OF TWO IS GETTING
A FRESH START TODAY, NEARLY 10
YEARS AFTER SHE VANISHED,
TAMERLAN NIKKI WELLS WAS LAST
SEEN IN 2012 IN DETROIT, THIS
MEMORIAL DAY, A GROUP OF
REMEMBERING THE MISSING IN
MICHIGAN, RENEWED TO SEARCH FOR
HER. JOHN LAY WAS THERE HE IS
LIVE WITH HOW THE COMMUNITY AND
POLICE ARE LOOKING AT COLD CASES
IN DIFFERENT WAYS. SEAN
ABSOLUTELY AS WE STAND RIGHT
HERE, JASON 3900 PEOPLE ARE
MISSING HERE IN MICHIGAN. EACH
CASE IS IMPORTANT. WE’RE ALSO
HIGHLIGHTING EVERY YEAR. THE
CASE OF THIS ONE. THE SAD CASE
OF TAMIL A WELLS AS YOU
MENTIONED MISSING YEAR AFTER
YEAR SINCE 2012, HOWEVER, WE’RE
LEARNING TODAY IS THAT THERE’S
NEW EFFORTS NEW EYEBALLS ON THIS
CASE AND OTHERS BREATHING NEW
LIFE INTO SOME OF THESE COLD
MISSING CASES. MEMORIAL DAY FOR
THE MISSING STANDING ON THE RED
HOT PAVEMENT ON DETROIT’S EAST
SIDE. ALRIGHT TRYING TO WAKE THE
PEOPLE UP, STOPPED TO KILL AND
STOP THE VIOLENCE AND BRING THE
MISSING HOME TO REMEMBER
MICHIGAN’S MISSING ON THIS
MEMORIAL DAY. VERY IMPORTANT, IT
DOESN’T MATTER IF IT’S THE
HOLIDAY OR NOT. WE ARE OUT HERE
WERE VERY VIGILANT AT STATE FAIR
AND COVENTRY. THIS IS WITH A CAR
OF TAMERLAN NIKKI WELLS WAS
FOUND BACK IN 2012, THE MOTHER
OF TWO HAS NEVER BEEN SEEN SINCE
IT WILL BE NINE YEARS AND 10
MONTHS. THAT IS A HELL OF A LONG
TIME. TO BE WITHOUT YOUR LOVED
ONE. THERE ARE 3900 PEOPLE
MISSING IN MICHIGAN, AND THERE
WAS URGENCY TO NOT FORGET THE
CASE OF TAMIL A WELLS. THE CASE
NOW HAS A NEW DETROIT POLICE
DETECTIVE HOPING TO BREATHE NEW
LIFE INTO IT, HOPING FOR NEW
CLUES, WHITE SAID HE IS
REVAMPING. THE COLD CASES AND
GONNA PUT NEW ENERGY NEW LIGHT
INTO IT ACTUALLY SAID THAT HE
WAS EXPANDING, REORGANIZING
UNDER HIS LEADERSHIP AND
EXPANDING FOR A COLD CASES WHEN
A PERSON GOES MISSING IN DETROIT
. IT TOUCHES US ALL IF WE WHO
LIVE IN DETROIT WORKING DETROIT
PLAY IN DETROIT. GO TO SCHOOL IN
DETROIT IF WE ARE NOT GOING TO
CLEAN THIS THING UP, IT’S NOT
GOING TO HAPPEN. BACK HERE LIVE
VERY OFTEN. WE ARE WITH THAT
COMMUNITY GROUP AS THEY SHINE
LIGHT ON THESE COLD CASES AND
MISSING CASES, THEY SAY
CONSISTENCY IS THE KEY TO KEEP
THE CASES IN FRONT OF PEOPLE SO
PEOPLE CARE ABOUT THEM. AND IF
THEY SEE SOMETHING THEY MIGHT
CALL ON THE TIP THAT POLICE NEED
AS FAR AS TAMERLAN WELLS GOES
$3100 REWARD FOR CRIME STOPPERS.
PERHAPS THIS IS THE YEAR. POLICE
GET THE TIP THAT THEY NEED TO
SOLVE THIS CASE. WE’RE ALIVE
TONIGHT. SHAWN LEY LOCAL 4 BACK
TO YOU, SEAN. THANK YOU ALL
RIGHT NOW AND YOU BALDY, TEXAS
FAMILIES ARE PLANNING FUNERALS
FOR THE 19 CHILDREN AND TWO
TEACHERS KILLED IN THE ROB
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SHOOTING
TONIGHT. PRAYER SERVICES WILL BE
HELD FOR TWO OF THE CHILDREN.
IT’S HAPPENING ONE DAY AFTER THE
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE ANNOUNCED
IT WILL BE INVESTIGATING THE
POLICE RESPONSE. TEXAS OFFICIALS
CONFIRM PEOPLE INSIDE THE SCHOOL
CALLED 911 OVER A SPAN OF NEARLY
AN HOUR. SOMEHOW SOME WAY
SOMEONE NEEDS TO ANSWER FOR YOU
KNOW WHAT WAS WHAT WAS DONE. OR
WHAT WASN’T DONE. PRESIDENT
BIDEN SAYS THERE MAY BE SOME
BIPARTISAN AND SUPPORT TO
TIGHTEN RESTRICTIONS ON THE KIND
OF HIGH POWERED WEAPONS USED BY
THAT SCHOOL SHOOTER. ON THIS
MEMORIAL DAY. TRAGEDIES LIKE THE
ONE AND YOU’VE ALL DAY ARE TOP
OF MIND FOR MANY ON A DAY WHEN
WE ARE YOU ARE THE MILITARY
HEROES WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES
DEFENDING OUR COUNTRY. MANY SAY
IT’S TIME FOR THE COUNTRY TO
COME TOGETHER FOR MEANINGFUL
CHANGE. NICK MONACELLI IS IN
STERLING HEIGHTS AT ONE OF THE
BIGGEST COMMEMORATIONS IN METRO
DETROIT. YEAH THERE IS A
DELICATE BALANCE BETWEEN THE
POMP AND CIRCUMSTANCE OF
MEMORIAL DAY AND WHAT IS
SUPPOSED TO BE TIME SPENT
REFLECTING ON THE LIVES LOST TO
GIVE US THE FREEDOM TO SAY HAVE
A PARADE GRATEFULNESS TO ALL THE
PEOPLE THAT GAVE FOR THAT
FREEDOM FOR ME. I TEND TO GO TO
A CEMETERY, VISIT THE GRAVES OF
FRIENDS THAT I WENT TO HIGH
SCHOOL WITH AND LIKE FLAGS ON
THEIR GRAVES. SO IT’S A IT’S A
SPECIAL DAY FOR ME AND THIS
MEMORIAL DAY PARADE IN STERLING
HEIGHTS IS ONE OF THE AREA’S
LARGEST, BRINGING PEOPLE FROM
ACROSS METRO DETROIT, INCLUDING
VETERANS. I’M GLAD TO TELL YOU
THAT PEOPLE STOP SAYING THANK
YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. AND THAT
MEANS A LOT. YOU KNOW WHAT WAS
INTERESTING AT THIS PARADE IN
STERLING HEIGHTS IS, OF COURSE,
THERE WAS A CONVERSATION ABOUT
REMEMBERING THOSE WHO HAVE GIVEN
THAT ULTIMATE SACRIFICE. BUT
THERE WAS ALSO A CONVERSATION
ABOUT THE COUNTRY AS A WHOLE.
MOVING FORWARD FROM WHAT WE’VE
BEEN THROUGH. THERE WAS EVEN A
GROUP CALLED MOMS DEMAND ACTION
FOR GUN SENSE IN AMERICA,
MARCHING WITH LIEUTENANT
GOVERNOR GARLAND GILCHRIST, WHO
CALLED ON REPUBLICANS FOR
BIPARTISANSHIP. YOU KNOW, THIS
IS NOT A THEORETICAL THING IN
MICHIGAN. WE HAD A SCHOOL
SHOOTING, AND IT’S UNACCEPTABLE
THAT WE SHOULD ACCEPT THIS KIND
OF LOSS OF LIFE AND WHETHER IT’S
IN SCHOOL WHETHER IT’S IN THE
STREET IN A NEIGHBORHOOD IN ANY
OF OUR CITIES, AND SO I HOPE
THAT THEY HAVE ENOUGH COURAGE TO
MEET US AT THE TABLE OF
NEGOTIATION. UM TO RECOGNIZE
THAT THE TIME IS NOW TO PROTECT
AND SUSTAIN THE LIFE THAT THEY
SAY THAT THEY CHERISH. YOU WOULD
HAVE TO ASK MEN AND WOMEN
JOINING THE MILITARY. IS THIS A
COUNTRY WORTH DYING FOR, AND
IT’S A SERIOUS QUESTION. WE HAVE
TO DO BETTER. WE SIMPLY HAVE TO
DO BETTER. WE CAN’T BE THE ONLY
CIVILIZED NATION ON EARTH THAT
IS AFRAID TO SEND OUR KIDS TO
SCHOOL. BUT THERE IS ONE COMMON
THREAD BETWEEN THESE
CONVERSATIONS. PEOPLE WE ALL
NEED TO COME TOGETHER AS ONE TO
BE KIND TO BE WITH EACH OTHER
AND BE HUMBLE TO SHOW THE LOVE
THAT WE HAVE FOR EACH OTHER, NOT
ONLY FOR OUR VETERANS BEFORE
EACH OTHER ROLLING HEIGHTS,
NICK MONACELLI. LOCAL 4 ALL
RIGHT, CHECK OUT THIS GRAPHIC
RIGHT HERE. IF YOU GO TO YOUR
TYPICAL GAS STATION, THE 93
BUTTON IS PRISTINE THIS MORNING
MIGHT HAVE A SMUDGE AT 89. BUT
THIS ONE LOOKS LIKE APPEALING
ONION BECAUSE NOBODY’S GETTING
ANYTHING MORE THAN 87 OCTANE AT
THAT PRICE. AS MANY PEOPLE HEAD
HOME FROM UP NORTH OR A TRIP TO
SEE FAMILY GAS PRICES, HITTING
ANOTHER NEW RECORD. TODAY THE
NATIONAL AVERAGE IS NOW 4 62 PER
GALLON 44 CENTS MORE THAN A WEEK
AGO, AND WE HERE IN METRO
DETROIT ARE PAYING AROUND 4 71
PER GALLON. AND AS EVROD CASSIMY
REPORTS, EXPERTS THINK PRICES
MAY NOT GO BACK DOWN AGAIN FOR
MONTHS. HERE THERE’S GAS STATION
AT I 75 MAC INTO THAT 5 29 A
GALLON IF YOU PAY WITH CASH, AND
UNFORTUNATELY IT’S NOT SHOWING
SIGNS OF SLOWING DOWN ANYTIME
SOON. THEY MAKE YOU ONLY GO TO
LIKE WORKING BIG TEMPERATURE
KEEPS RISING ON THE UNOFFICIAL
START TO THE SUMMER, AND SO DO
GAS PRICES FOR DRIVERS LIKE
CHIARA HALSTON, AND EXPERTS
AREN’T TOO OPTIMISTIC THEY’LL GO
DOWN DURING THE SUMMER TRAVEL
SEASON. AS WE PROGRESSED BEYOND
MEMORIAL DAY, I NOW PEG OUR ODDS
AT $5 A GALLON GASOLINE
NATIONWIDE AT 60% SO THAT COULD
BE COMING, ACCORDING TO GASBUDDY
.COM THE NATIONAL AVERAGE FOR A
GALLON OF GAS TODAY IS $4.60.
THE COST TO FILL UP IS FACTORING
INTO MANY PEOPLE’S SUMMER.
TRAVEL PLANS RATHER GO BY PLANE
SO HIGH AT THIS POINT, YOU MIGHT
AS WELL TAKE THE COST OF GAS
SURGED AROUND 30% SINCE RUSSIA
ATTACKED UKRAINE IN LATE
FEBRUARY AND THE U. S IS FEELING
THE INCREASE SAMANTHA CLIENT
PAID OVER $100 TO FILL UP OUR
SUV. THERE YOU GO. I TRAVEL FOR
WORK, SO I DON’T HAVE TO WORRY
ABOUT IT UNLESS IT’S THE WEEKEND
. ENERGY COSTS ARE WAY TOO HIGH.
THE PRESIDENT’S TAKES SOME STEPS
TO EASE THAT BY THE RELEASE OF
OUR RESERVES. WE RECOGNIZE THE
INTERNATIONAL CIRCUMSTANCES WAS
WAR IN UKRAINE, AND THAT ENERGY
PRICES ARE NOT DETERMINED HERE
IN THE UNITED STATES, BUT WE
NEED TO DO MORE ABOUT IT. DEMAND
USUALLY STARTS TO FALL IN
AUGUST, WHICH COULD HELP THE
COST OF GAS TO DROP, ACCORDING
TO GASBUDDY .COM. HOWEVER SEVERE
WEATHER IN THE ATLANTIC COULD
CHANGE THAT ABOVE AVERAGE
HURRICANE FORECAST. THAT IS A
HIGH RISK THAT WE COULD SEE
PRICES REMAINING ELEVATED
BASICALLY THROUGH LABOR DAY
UNTIL THEN, AND OTHER DRIVERS
ARE SPENDING WHAT THEY CAN TO
GET TO WHERE THEY NEED TO GO.
HOW MUCH YOU’RE GOING TO PUT IN
TODAY. I’M PROBABLY $20.20
DOLLARS. NOT EVEN GONNA GIVE ME
