NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNIVERSITY

THE SCHOOL DURING AN UNCERTAIN
TIME FOR THE ENTIRE PLANET. ALSO
YOU’RE ALREADY FEELING THE PINCH
AT HOME TODAY. WE’RE GETTING A
SNAPSHOT. OF RISING INFLATION,
WITH PRESIDENT BIDEN LOOKING FOR
SILVER LINING HERE, PAULA. WE’RE
GOING TO SHOW YOU HOW AN
ORGANIZATION IS TAKING
CHILDREN’S NATURAL CONNECTION

INTO A LEARNING AND LOVE FOR
MATH AND SCIENCE. LIVE FROM
DOWNTOWN DETROIT. LOCAL 4 NEWS
FIRST AT FOUR STARTS NOW. GOOD
AFTERNOON. I’M PAMELA OSBORNE IN
FOR KAREN DREW FIRST AT FOUR.
WE’RE TRACKING THE RADAR. SOME
STORMS COULD BRING HEAVY
DOWNPOURS AND HIGH WINDS BLOWING
THROUGHOUT METRO DETROIT. IT’S
HAPPENING RIGHT NOW. BUT HOW
MUCH LONGER WILL IT LAST? LET’S
GET THE VERY LATEST FROM PAUL
GROSS. HI PAUL. HEY THERE, AND

STORMS DOWN TO THE SOUTH HERE.

THOSE AND WE’LL GIVE YOU A
BETTER IDEA OF WHO’S GETTING
WHAT AND YOU CAN SEE HERE. SO IN
MONROE COUNTY, BASICALLY FROM
RIGHT OVER DUNDEE TO NORTH OF
IDA RIGHT INTO MONROE, BUT THERE
IS NOTHING SEVERE WITH THESE
STORMS. IN FACT, LIGHTNING HAS
PRETTY MUCH GONE AWAY WITH THESE
STORMS AND THEN THE ONES BACK
HERE TO THE TO THE WEST OF THAT
IN NORTHEASTERN RUNWAY COUNTY
OVER BRITAIN RIGHT NOW AGAIN, NO
LIGHTNING WITH THAT, EITHER, AND
AS I MENTIONED, THE REST OF THE
AREA HAS PRETTY MUCH DRIED OUT.
WE HAVE ONE LITTLE, MAYBE SPEEDY
LITTLE SHOWER UP THERE IN SANTA
LAKE COUNTY, BUT OVERALL, IT’S A
MILD DAY. IT’S NOT A HOT ONE LOW
SEVENTIES RIGHT NOW, DO POINTS
HAVE BEEN IN THE SIXTIES, BUT
NOTICE THEY’RE DROPPING HERE
FROM THE NORTH AIRPORT RUNS IN
THE FIFTIES. SO THROUGH THE
EVENING ATTEMPTS SLIDING INTO
THE SIXTIES WILL BE IN THE
FIFTIES BY TOMORROW MORNING.
THEN WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT MORE
HEAT WOULD DO THAT IN JUST A
FEW. THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN
IS CELEBRATING A NEW ERA WITH
THE SELECTION OF A NEW PRESIDENT
. I AM PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE THAT
WE HAVE COMPLETED THE SEARCH
PROCESS. AND HAVE IDENTIFIED DR
SANTA ONO AS OUR FINALIST FOR
ELECTION AS THE 15TH, PRESIDENT
OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN.
BOARD MEMBERS VOTED UNANIMOUSLY
TO APPROVE DR SANTA ONO’S
APPOINTMENT. HE’S CURRENTLY THE
PRESIDENT. AND VICE CHANCELLOR
OF THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH
COLUMBIA. DOCTOR ONO SAYS THE
WORLD FACES SOME PRETTY SERIOUS
CHALLENGES LIKE THE COVID
PANDEMIC, RACIAL INEQUITIES AND
CLIMATE CHANGE, AND HE’S READY
TO LEAD A UNIVERSITY THAT CAN
HELP MEET THOSE CHALLENGES. MY
JOB AS PRESIDENT WILL BE TO MAKE
THIS GREAT UNIVERSITY EVEN
GREATER. EVEN STRONGER. MORE
ENGAGED AND MORE INCLUSIVE. DR
OH, NO STARTS HIS NEW JOB ON
OCTOBER 13TH. HE REPLACES MARY
SUE COLEMAN, WHO STEPPED IN WHEN
THE BOARD OF REGENTS REMOVED
MARK SCHLISSEL IN JANUARY.
DOCTOR OH, NO STUCK AROUND TO
ANSWER QUESTIONS ABOUT TAKING
OVER AFTER VERY DIFFICULT TIME
FOR THE UNIVERSITY. SOME
QUESTIONS AND SOME OF THOSE
ANSWERS WILL BE ON OUR NEWSCAST
LIVE AT FIVE. THE MACOMB COUNTY
SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT IS SORTING
THROUGH A COMPLICATED CASE AFTER
A STANDOFF, A DEADLY STANDOFF
AND RAY TOWNSHIP. ONE WOMAN IS
DEAD. TWO MEN ARE IN CUSTODY. IT
ALL STARTED LAST NIGHT WITH A
CALL FROM A HOME ON NORTH AVENUE
BETWEEN 28 29 MILE ABOUT SHOTS
FIRED 49 YEAR OLD WOMAN HAD BEEN
SHOT. SHE DIED AT THE SCENE.
THERE WAS A LOT OF CONFUSION FOR
A TIME IN A LANGUAGE BARRIER,
WHICH DIDN’T HELP RIGHT NOW.
DEPUTIES BELIEVE THE TWO MEN
FIRED SHOTS AT EACH OTHER AFTER
AN ARGUMENT. BOTH OF THOSE MEN
ARE IN CUSTODY. WARREN POLICE
HAVE ARRESTED A 32 YEAR OLD MAN
IN A DEADLY HIT AND RUN THAT
SHUT DOWN 13 MILE FOR HOURS
YESTERDAY, INVESTIGATORS SAY A
47 YEAR OLD MAN WAS KILLED WHILE
RIDING HIS BIKE IN THE EARLY
MORNING HOURS ON 13 MILES
BETWEEN MOUND AND RYAN. POLICE
WERE LOOKING FOR A BLACK DODGE
RAM. THEY SAY THEY FOUND THAT
TRUCK AND ARRESTED THE SUSPECT
AT HIS HOME AND WARREN THEY’RE
WORKING ON THE CASE, AND WE’LL
SEND THE EVIDENCE OVER TO THE
PROSECUTORS FOR CHARGES.
GOVERNOR GRETCHEN WHITMER HAS
SIGNED AN EXECUTIVE ORDER
DESIGNED TO PROTECT WOMEN WHO
VISIT THE STATES SEEKING
ABORTIONS. UNDER THE ORDER, THE
GOVERNOR WILL REFUSE TO
EXTRADITE WOMEN WHO CROSSED
STATE LINES SEEKING CARE. IT
PROVIDES THE SAME PROTECTION TO
MEDICAL PROVIDERS OF LEGAL
ABORTION RIGHT NOW IN 1931 LAW,
MAKING ABORTION ILLEGAL IN
MICHIGAN IS ON HOLD AS OPPONENTS
ARGUE IT’S UNCONSTITUTIONAL. THE
GOVERNOR IS ALSO SEEKING A
RULING FROM THE STATE SUPREME
COURT WILL KEEP YOU POSTED ON
THAT. NO MATTER WHAT YOUR INCOME
LEVEL IS, YOUR FAMILY BUDGET HAS
BEEN TAKING ANOTHER HIT, THANKS
TO RISING PRICES IN THE MONTH OF
JUNE. WE’VE BEEN GOING THROUGH
THE NEWEST NUMBERS FROM THE
CONSUMER PRICE INDEX, AND
THEY’RE HIGHER THAN EXPECTED.
KIMBERLY GAIL JOINS US LIVE FROM
THE NEWSROOM TO SHOW US WHAT’S
DRIVING THIS INFLATION. KIMBERLY
GOOD AFTERNOON TO YOU, PAM.
WE’RE TALKING ABOUT THE BIGGEST
12 MONTH INCREASE IN PRICES
SINCE 1981 1 BIT OF GOOD NEWS,
THOUGH THE COST OF SOME ITEMS
SUCH AS GASOLINE HAS BEEN
FALLING LATELY, SO THOSE LOWER
PRICES ARE NOT REFLECTED, THOUGH
IN THIS REPORT FOR THE MONTH OF
JUNE, SO HERE’S WHERE THINGS
STANDS. CONSUMER PRICES WERE UP
9.1% WHEN COMPARED TO JUNE OF
LAST YEAR. THAT’S HIGHER THAN
THE DOW JONES ESTIMATE, WHICH
PREDICTED AN INCREASE OF 8.8.
SURGING PRICES FOR GASOLINE,
FOOD AND RENT COMBINED TO PUSH
THE NUMBER TO A NEW 40 YEAR
PEAK. MANY FAMILIES ARE HURTING
BUT LOWER INCOME BLACK AND
HISPANIC AMERICANS. HAVE BEEN
HIT ESPECIALLY HARD BECAUSE OF A
DISPROPORTIONATE SHARE OF THEIR
INCOME GOES TOWARD ESSENTIALS
SUCH AS HOUSING, TRANSPORTATION
AND FOOD. THE NUMBERS MAKE IT
MORE LIKELY THE FEDERAL RESERVE
WILL HAND DOWN ANOTHER LARGE
INTEREST RATE HIKE. WHICH WILL
MAKE BORROWING MONEY MORE
EXPENSIVE. SOME ECONOMISTS ARE
HOLDING OUT HOPE THAT INFLATION
MAY BE REACHING OR NEARING A
SHORT TERM PEAK. PRESIDENT BIDEN
AGREES. HE RELEASED A STATEMENT
POINTING OUT QUOTE CORE
INFLATION, WHICH EXCLUDES FOOD
AND ENERGY PRICES ACTUALLY
DECREASED FOR A THIRD MONTH IN A
ROW. HE’S VOWING TO DO ALL HE
CAN TO FIGHT INFLATION, EVEN AS
CRITICS SAY. HE’S NOT DOING
ENOUGH SO PAM, OUR COVERAGE OF
INFLATION AND WHAT IT’S COSTING
US WILL CONTINUE TONIGHT AT FIVE
FOR NOW, LET’S SEND IT BACK TO
YOU. ALRIGHT, KIMBERLY. THANK
YOU FOR THAT. PRESIDENT BIDEN IS
IN ISRAEL DURING HIS FIRST TRIP
TO THE MIDDLE EAST. SINCE MOVING
INTO THE WHITE HOUSE LATE TODAY,
HE PAID HIS RESPECTS AT ISRAEL’S
HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL. ON THE
POLITICAL FRONT. THE PRESIDENT
IS REASSURING ISRAEL HE WANTS TO
STOP IRAN’S GROWING NUCLEAR
PROGRAM AND IS WILLING TO USE
FORCE. AS A LAST RESULT, BIDEN
WILL ALSO SPEND TIME IN THE WEST
BANK BEFORE HEADING TO SAUDI
ARABIA. HERE AT HOME, WE
STUMBLED UPON A REALLY CREATIVE
APPROACH DESIGNED TO STOP SUMMER
LEARNING LOSS, A NON PROFIT
PROFIT RATHER TRAVELS TO LOCAL
DAY CAMPS, TEACHING CHILDREN.
THE WONDERS OF MATH AND SCIENCE
USING A LITTLE MUSIC TO CONNECT
WITH THE KIDS. PAULA TUTMAN
SHOWS US HOW IT ALL WORKS. YOU
KNOW, I THINK MOST OF US CAN SAY
WE CAN FIND A CONNECTION WITH
MUSIC. WHETHER OR NOT IT’S RAP
OR PIANO OR JAZZ OR COUNTRY
MUSIC. MOST OF US CAN FIND SOME
CONNECTION WITH MUSIC AND
CHILDREN, PARTICULARLY SO, BUT
MAYBE NOT. EVERYBODY CAN FIND A
NATURAL CONNECTION WITH SAY
SOMETHING LIKE MATH OR SCIENCE.
AND WITH THIS ORGANIZATION IS
DOING IS TRANSLATING THAT MUSIC
THAT LOVE OF MUSIC FOR THE LOVE
OF MATH AND SCIENCE, BANGING,
CLUCKING THINKING, TAPPING ALL
SOUNDS OF MUSIC MAKING NOW TAKE
THOSE SOUNDS AND COMBINE THEM
WITH THE BASICS OF MATH AND
SCIENCE SO LONG TO TOTAL MEANS.
THIS WAY, AND THE SOUND WAVE
ONLY TRAVELS THIS WAY. THE
NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION MUSIC
SHAPES TRAVELS TO CAMPS
THROUGHOUT THE METRO AREA WITH
THE MISSION OF COMBINING THOSE
MYSTERIES OF SCIENCE AND MATH.
WITH THE JOYS OF MUSIC. THERE
YOU GO, TRANSVERSE WAVE WAY
AWESOME! WHO WANTS TO CALL IT
ANOTHER WAVE? ANYBODY MULTITUDE
? NO. THIS ONE IS CALLED SCIENCE
OF SOUND. AND THIS ONE IS WHERE
WE BRING IN THE SCIENCE ASPECTS
OF SOUND, AND WE ILLUSTRATED
THROUGH OUR MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS
. SO WATCH THIS LINKE NO. SEE
IT. YES THAT’S HOW THE SOUND
WAVE WORKS. SO THIS IS
YOUTHWORKS DETROIT, ANOTHER
NONPROFIT THAT LOVES KIDS AND
ALSO KNOWS THAT SUMMERS ARE
SUPPOSED TO BE FOR FUN AND
LEARNING. SO TODAY’S
COLLABORATION HAS BEEN A GREAT
FIT THE LESSONS IN PITCH REALLY
RESONATED LOWER PITS. SOME OF
THEM ARE SLOW AND THE OTHER ONE.
SOME OF THEM ARE HIGH PITCHED.
KIDS CAN MAKE A DIRECT
CORRELATION BETWEEN MUSIC AND
MATH, SAY IF LIKE WITH TWO
DIFFERENT NOTES, YOU CAN MAKE
THE HIGHER NOTE AS LIKE. THE
FIRST NUMBER IN THE LOWER NOTE
AS THE LOWER NUMBER, AND WHEN
YOU PUT THEM TOGETHER, YOU CAN
MAKE ONE NUMBER TOGETHER, AND
EVEN THE YOUTH CAMP ADULTS GOT A
FEW TAKEAWAYS. I AM MY KIDS WERE
NOT LIKE I DON’T LIKE MATH WHEN
I JUST THINK OF STRAIGHT MATH.
IT’S NOT. IT’S LIKE NO, I SHUT
DOWN BUT TO BE ABLE TO CONNECT
IT WITH SOMETHING THAT WE ALL
SHARE SOMETHING THAT WE ALL LOVE
SOMETHING SO UNIVERSAL AS MUSIC
THAT CAN ALSO OPEN OUR MINDS UP
TO THESE OTHER THINGS IN SCHOOL
AND STUFF LIKE THAT. IT’S LIKE
THAT’S EXCELLENT. YOU KNOW, I’M
WITH CRYSTAL. WHERE WAS THIS
KIND OF PROGRAM? WHEN I WAS IN
THE FIFTH GRADE LEARNING TO HATE
MATH. I MEAN, YOU COULD REALLY
SEE IN THESE KIDS FACES. NOT
ONLY WERE THEY GETTING IT, BUT
THEY LOVED GETTING IT SO AGAIN.
MUSIC SHAPES. THEY TRAVEL ALL
OVER THE PLACE. THEIR PROGRAMS
ARE FREE. OF COURSE, THEY’RE
NONPROFIT. SO YOU’RE DONATIONS.
HELP THEM CONTINUE THIS GREAT
SERVICE. PAM. PAULA IS SO GOOD
TO SEE AND I WAS WONDERING THE
SAME THING MYSELF. I WOULDN’T
HAVE DONE MUCH BETTER IN THAT. I
HAD THIS TAKE ON IT AS WELL.
