WHY FROM DOWNTOWN DETROIT. LOCAL 4 NEWS AT 11 STARTS NOW. CLOUDY AND TO LABOR DAY BUT WE WILL BE
WARMING UP AS WE KICK OFF THE
WORKWEEK AND CHILDREN HAVE BACK
TO SCHOOL. LABOR DAY IS CALLED
THE UNOFFICIAL END OF SUMMER,
BUT WE’VE GOT MORE SUNSHINE IN
YOUR FORECAST. WE DO BRIAN
SHERMAN IN TONIGHT WITH THE
MAGIC WORDS. BRYANT WARMING UP.
YEAH KAREN, DEFINITELY THAT’S
WE’RE GOING TO BE HEADING AT
LEAST TOMORROW. A FEW MORE
DEGREES. BETTER AS WE GO IN
TOWARD THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK
TOWER CAME OVER DOWNTOWN
DETROIT. KEEPING THAT CLOUD
COVER AROUND A LITTLE BIT. BUT
I’M LOVING THIS RED, WHITE AND
BLUE LIGHTS HERE ON SOME OF THE
BUILDINGS EVEN WHAT A FITTING
WAY TO END OUR LABOR DAY IN THE
HOLIDAY WEEKEND, MOST OF US INTO
THE SIXTIES AND LOWER SEVENTIES
AT 11. O CLOCK TONIGHT. 71 CITY
AIRPORT, 67 PONTIAC AS WELL AS
IN FLINT, 65 HOWELL AND 68 RIGHT
NOW, AS YOU WORK OVER AND AN
ARBOR. THE CLOUD COVER IS STILL
AROUND MUCH OF THE CENTRAL AND
NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE STATE,
ALTHOUGH WE HAVE SEEN A FEW
BREAKS THAT GAVE US A LITTLE BIT
OF SUNSHINE AS WE WORK TOWARDS
SUNSET THIS EVENING. I DO THINK
MUCH OF THE SAME IS ON THE WAY
FOR TOMORROW CLOUDS EARLY, THEN
WE START TO BREAK IT UP INTO THE
AFTERNOON HIGH TEMPERATURES ONLY
IN THE UPPER SEVENTIES TOMORROW,
BUT THEN WE HIT THE EIGHTIES
TOWARD THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK
WITH MORE RAIN ON THE WAY BY THE
WEEKEND, THE DETAILS AND WHAT
YOU EXPECTING YOUR COMPLETE FOR
ONE FORECAST COMING UP IN JUST A
FEW MINUTES. JASON AND KAREN.
ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH
BRIAN, NOW TO AN ONGOING LABOR
DISPUTE OVER AT EASTERN MICHIGAN
UNIVERSITY THAT’S SHOWING REALLY
NO SIGNS OF LETTING UP THE
FACULTY UNION. THEY’RE SET TO
MAKE A CRITICAL VOTE TOMORROW
THAT COULD SIGNAL A STRIKE AS
THE SCHOOL YEAR JUST NOW GETS
UNDERWAY. PRIYA MANN IS LIVE ON
CAMPUS TONIGHT WITH WHAT BOTH
SIDES ARE SAYING AHEAD OF
TOMORROW’S VOTE. PRIYA. JASON
KAREN. GOOD EVENING, YOU KNOW, E
M U SAYS THREATENING TO STRIKE
DOESN’T HELP THE NEGOTIATION
PROCESS. THE UNION SAYS THEY’RE
FIGHTING FOR FAIR WAGES AND TO
COVER RISING HEALTH CARE COSTS.
STUDENTS WE SPOKE TO SAY THEY
FEEL LIKE THEY’RE CAUGHT IN THE
MIDDLE. IT’S KIND OF WEIRD. IN
THE YEAR. IT’S GOING RIGHT INTO
A STREAK FEEL LIKE WE SHOULD
JUST GO TO FAST. VICKERS IS A
SOPHOMORE AND USE THE WANING
HOURS OF THE LONG WEEKEND TO
FINISH MOVING IN. BUT COME
TUESDAY, EMU’S FACULTY UNION
WILL VOTE ON WHETHER TO STRIKE
FEATURES LIKE THEY’RE TRYING TO
GET BETTER PAY. BUT I ALSO HOPE
WE CAN COME TO A SPEEDY
CONCLUSION. THE FACULTY HAS BEEN
WORKING WITHOUT A CONTRACT,
WHICH EXPIRED ON AUGUST 31ST.
THE UNION DID NOT ACCEPT THE
SCHOOLS OFFER OF A 6.2% RAISE IN
YEAR ONE, AND THEN TWO OR TWO
POINT 5% INCREASES IN THE
FOLLOWING FOUR YEARS. UNION
SPOKESMAN AND EMU ENGLISH
TEACHER MATT KILPATRICK SAYS
IT’S REALLY NO PAY RATES AT ALL
EFFECTIVELY AND THAT ZERO OR
NEGATIVE FOR SOME OF OUR MEMBERS
, AND THAT’S WHAT WE’RE FIGHTING
FOR. TALKS STALLED OVER THE
WEEKEND, THE SCHOOL ASKED FOR
AND RECEIVED A STATE SPONSORED
MEDIATOR WALTER CRAFT IS EMU’S
SPOKESMAN. WE’RE NEGOTIATING AND
THINGS ARE HAPPENING AND
MOVEMENT IS OCCURRING. AND WE
THINK IT’S IMPORTANT THAT THEY
BE ALLOWED TO CONTINUE AND A
STRIKE THREAT DOES NOTHING TO
FURTHER THAT PROCESS. IF UNION
MEMBERS VOTE TO STRIKE, THEY
COULD WALK OUT AS SOON AS
WEDNESDAY. THIS KIND OF SCARY
BECAUSE YOU KNOW YOU WAITED FOR
SO LONG TO FINALLY GET TO THE
POINT OF COLLEGE AND THEN IT’S
LIKE, UM, TEACHERS WILL LIKE YOU
KNOW WHEN THEY GO ON STRIKE,
AND, UH, YOU KNOW, I KIND OF
UNDERSTAND WHERE THEY’RE COMING
FROM, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, IT’S
KIND OF LIKE, UM YOU KNOW? IT’S
MY IT’S MY FIRST YEAR. YEAH
THERE ARE CERTAINLY A LOT OF
FRUSTRATED FOLKS HERE ON CAMPUS
MAJOR STICKING POINT HERE OUR
HEALTH CARE COSTS JUST A MOMENT
AGO. UM, YOU DID RELEASE A
LENGTHY STATEMENT READS. IN PART
. WE UNDERSTAND THE UNIONS
FRUSTRATION WITH BEING ASKED TO
SHARE MORE OF THE INCREASING
COST OF PROVIDING HEALTH CARE TO
EMPLOYEES AND FAMILIES. BUT
THERE ARE VERY FEW EMPLOYERS AND
EMPLOYEES IN THE U. S. OR AMONG
THE OTHER BARGAINING UNITS AT
THIS UNIVERSITY THAT HAVE NOT
HAD TO MAKE SIMILAR ADJUSTMENTS
TO HEALTHCARE COSTS. OF COURSE,
THAT VOTE IS STRIKE BY THE UNION
WILL HAPPEN TOMORROW AND WE WILL
BE HERE IN YPSILANTI REPORTING
LIVE AT EASTERN MICHIGAN
UNIVERSITY. I’M PRIYA MANN. FOUR
WE’LL BE WATCHING THIS WEEK TO
SEE IF THEY CAN HAMMER OUT A
DEAL. ALRIGHT, PRIYA. WE’RE
FOLLOWING BREAKING NEWS JUST IN
FROM MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE, WHERE
POLICE HAVE RECOVERED A BODY
WHILE SEARCHING FOR AN ABDUCTED
MOTHER, WHO WAS KIDNAPPED WHILE
JOGGING, POLICE SAY 34 YEAR OLD
ELIZA FLETCHER TEACHER AND A MOM
OF TWO WAS FORCED INTO A VEHICLE
EARLY FRIDAY, A SUSPECT WHO HAS
BEEN TAKEN INTO CUSTODY FOR HER
DISAPPEARANCE HAS PREVIOUSLY
SPENT TIME IN PRISON FOR THE
SAME CRIME. POLICE DETECTED HIS
DNA AND A PAIR OF SANDALS IN THE
AREA WHERE FLETCHER WAS LAST
SEEN AGAIN. A BODY HAS BEEN
FOUND DURING THAT SEARCH, BUT NO
IDENTIFICATION HAS BEEN MADE YET
. PLEASE HAVE ALSO NOT RELEASED
THE CAUSE OF DEATH. ALSO
DEVELOPING IN CANADA TONIGHT.
ONE SUSPECT IS DEAD AND THE
OTHER REMAINS ON THE RUN IN A
DEADLY STABBING RAMPAGE WHERE 10
PEOPLE WERE KILLED IN
SASKATCHEWAN POLICE HAVE
IDENTIFIED AT LEAST 13 DIFFERENT
CRIME SCENES THERE, INCLUDING
THE COMMUNITY OF THE JAMES SMITH
CREE NATION. 31 YEAR OLD DAMIAN
SANDERSON HAS BEEN FOUND DEAD
AND 30 YEAR OLD MILES ANDERSON
REMAINS THE SUBJECT OF A MASSIVE
MANHUNT. HIS BODY WAS LOCATED
OUTDOORS IN A HEAVILY GRASSED
AREA IN PROXIMITY TO A HOUSE
THAT WAS BEING EXAMINED. WE CAN
CONFIRM HE HAS VISIBLE INJURIES.
THESE INJURIES ARE NOT BELIEVED
TO BE SELF INFLICTED AT THIS
POINT. TODAY BOTH BROTHERS WERE
CHARGED WITH FIRST DEGREE MURDER
IN THE STABBINGS IN WHICH SOME
VICTIMS APPEAR TO BE RANDOM,
OTHERS TARGETED RIGHT NOW,
INVESTIGATORS SAY THE AT LARGE
BROTHER IS BELIEVED TO BE
INJURED AND MAY SEEK MEDICATION
OR MEDICAL HELP. SOMEWHERE AND
OAKLAND COUNTY SHERIFF’S DEPUTY
HAS BEEN SUSPENDED WITHOUT PAY
AMID ALLEGATIONS OF WRONGDOING
THE SUSPENSIONS LINKED TO
ALLEGATIONS MADE AGAINST THE
DEPUTY THAT ANOTHER PERSON
POSTED ONLINE. THE SHERIFF’S
OFFICE SAYS THE DEPUTY HAS
WORKED FOR THE DEPARTMENT FOR
FIVE MONTHS AND HIS ASSIGNED TO
THE OAKLAND COUNTY JAIL. THE
SHERIFF’S OFFICE SAYS THE CASE
IS STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION AND
IS NOT PROVIDING ANY OTHER
DETAILS. A WILD SCENE IN THE
WEST SIDE GAS STATION OVER THE
WEEKEND WITH OFFICERS OPENING
FIRE AFTER A DRIVER
INTENTIONALLY RAMS A SQUAD CAR.
IT HAPPENED ABOUT 11 40 LAST
NIGHT, NEAR EIGHT MILE AND GLASS
AND VERY CLOSE TO THE SOUTHFIELD
FREEWAY. OFFICERS WERE TRYING TO
PULL OVER THE SUV THAT WAS CAR.
EARLIER IN THE DAY, TWO MEN GOT
OUT, BUT THE DRIVER TRIED TO RAM
THE STOLEN VEHICLE INTO SOME OF
THE POLICE CARS. THREE OFFICERS
DID FIRE SHOTS AT THE SUSPECT’S
CAR. AS THAT DRIVER TOOK OFF. NO
OFFICERS WERE HURT TWO PEOPLE
THAT WERE TAKEN INTO CUSTODY.
THE SEARCH CONTINUES TONIGHT FOR
THE DRIVER. A MAJOR DEVELOPMENT
TODAY IS LIKELY TO SLOW DOWN THE
INVESTIGATION INTO CLASSIFIED
DOCUMENTS SEIZED FROM FORMER
PRESIDENT TRUMP’S FLORIDA HOME.
A JUDGE HAS GRANTED TRUMP’S
REQUEST TO APPOINT A SPECIAL
MASTER IN THE FBI SEARCH OF
MERRILL LAGO. ESPECIAL MASTER IS
A THIRD PARTY ATTORNEY FROM
OUTSIDE THE GOVERNMENT TASKED
WITH REVIEWING MATERIALS THAT
AGENTS SEIZED FROM TRUMP’S
FLORIDA HOME LAST MONTH. THE
APPOINTMENT MEANS THE DOJ WILL
HAVE TO PAUSE ITS REVIEW OF THE
SEIZED DOCUMENTS UNTIL THAT
SPECIAL MASTERS REVIEW IS
COMPLETE. BOTH SIDES HAVE UNTIL
FRIDAY TO SUBMIT A LIST OF
POTENTIAL CANDIDATES FOR THAT
POSITION. TOMORROW THE CITY OF
ANN ARBOR WILL VOTE ON FUNDING
FOR A STUDY ABOUT HOW THE CITY
CAN ESTABLISH ITS OWN PUBLIC
POWER UTILITY COMES AS
FRUSTRATIONS GROW IN
NEIGHBORHOODS AS THEY DEAL WITH
THE RECENT POWER OUTAGES FROM
LAST WEEK’S STORMS. THE STUDY
BEING VOTED ON WILL SEE HOW
FEASIBLE IT WOULD BE TO HAVE ITS
OWN PUBLIC POWER UTILITY HAS
STUDY WILL COST ABOUT $450,000.

RAMP CLOSURES TO WARN YOU ABOUT
HIS ROAD CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS

INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECT,
UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN FOOTBALL
TEAM, INTRODUCING ITS NEWEST
MEMBER OVER THE WEEKEND. THIS IS
15 YEAR OLD NOAH WELLS, A
WOLVERINE DIEHARD THAT,
UNFORTUNATELY, CAN’T PLAY
FOOTBALL BECAUSE OF A CONDITION
THAT AFFECTS BONE GROWTH IN HIS
CHEST AND HIS RIB CAGE. BUT IT’S
NOT STOPPING HIM FROM BEING AN
IMPORTANT PART OF THE TEAM ARE
VICTOR WILLIAMS WITH THE STORY?
DREAMS DO COME TRUE. AND NO ONE
KNOWS THAT BETTER THAN THIS 15
YEAR OLD WHO IS ONE VERY STRONG
YOUNG MAN HAD BEEN A MICHIGAN
FAN MY WHOLE LIFE AND IT’S JUST
AN EXTREMELY GREAT OPPORTUNITY.
THE NEWEST MEMBER OF THE
MICHIGAN WOLVERINES IS NOAH
WELLS, A TEENAGER OVERCOMING A
LOT BUT HAS GOTTEN MUCH CLOSER
TO ONE OF HIS FAVORITE FOOTBALL
JERSEY FOR YOU TAKE A LOOK AT
HIS OFFICIAL JERSEY. WOW LIKE A
NORMAL KID. SO I’M NOT SURE I
REALLY FEEL SOMETIMES I DESERVE
IT. BUT. AH IT’S JUST A GREAT
OPPORTUNITY ASIDE FROM RECEIVING
SOME AWESOME GEAR, LIKE AN
AUTOGRAPHED FOOTBALL FROM COACH
JIM HARBAUGH NO HAS BEEN TO
SEVERAL PRACTICES ALONG WITH THE
GAME AND IS NOW SEEN THE TEAM
FROM ANGLES THAT MOST PEOPLE
WOULD KILL. FOR TODAY, HE SIGNED
HIS LETTER OF INTENT. BUT THE 15
YEAR OLD LIVES WITH JUNE
SYNDROME, A CONDITION THAT
DOESN’T ALLOW THE BONES IN HIS
CHEST AND RIB CAGE TO GROW
PROPERLY. THESE ARE ALL OF HIS
HOSPITAL BRACELETS FROM OVER THE
YEARS HE WAS DIAGNOSED IN HIS
ABOUT FIVE DAYS OLD. SO THIS IS
KIND OF ALL THAT HE’S KNOWN
AFTER HIS MOTHER, TRISH CAME
ACROSS THE PROGRAM WITH TEAM
IMPACT, SHE SAYS THEY MADE THE
IMPOSSIBLE HAPPEN, MAKING THE
TEAM’S BIGGEST FANTASY A REALITY
. NOAH’S DAD, JOSH, RECALLING
HOW AWESOME IT WAS. THAT’S
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, HONESTLY, TO
BE A PART OF THIS, UH, THIS KID
HAS BEEN THROUGH A TON AND THE
PLAYERS WE SPOKE TO CAN’T GET
ENOUGH OF THEM INSPIRING. YOU
KNOW, SEEING SOMEONE COME AFTER
GOING THROUGH THINGS LIKE THAT.
IT’S BIGGER THAN FOOTBALL. SO UM
, JUST HAVING HIM AROUND AND
BEING ABLE TO HAVING A PART OF
THE TEAM JUST MAKES THE TEAM
FEEL GOOD. AND WE’RE GOING TO
SUPPORT HIM ANYWAY. WE CAN, AND
NO ONE TELLS ME HE’S PLANNING TO
FOLLOW IN HIS PARENTS’ FOOTSTEPS
GOING TO U OF THEM. HE ALSO
PLANS TO BECOME A DOCTOR. VICTOR
WILLIAMS LOCAL FORM. I LOVE IT
WHEN MICHIGAN DOES THAT STUFF.
AND JUST A FEW YEARS AGO, JUDE
STAMPER WAS PART OF THE
BASKETBALL TEAM. THESE ARE
RELATIONSHIPS THEY’LL HAVE HE’LL
HAVE RELATIONSHIPS WITH THOSE
FOOTBALL PLAYERS FOR PROBABLY
YEARS TO COME. ONE OF THE
