SOMETHING FROM THIS LINE AS IT
GETS CLOSER TO US.
THE SEVERE RISK IS SLIGHT AND
FOR THE WESTERN HALF OF THE
AREA, INTO THE MARGINAL RISK AS
WE FINISH THINGS OUT.
7:00 TO MIDNIGHT IS THE WINDOW

UNSPEAKABLE VICIOUS ATTACK.
3:40 IN THE MORNING LAST
TUESDAY, A MAN BROKE THROUGH HER

IT WAS NOT A BURGLARY.
HE BROKE IN TO SEXUAL ASSAULT
THE WOMAN.
>> I WAS SHOCKED!
ANYBODY HAD TO BE SICK TO DO
SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
A 90-SOME-YEAR-OLD WOMAN?

4.
>> Kim: IT’S THE BIG STORY OF
THE DAY, THE POSSIBILITY OF NO
MICHIGAN OR MICHIGAN STATE
FOOTBALL THIS FALL. >> Devin: WHAT KIND OF FALL IS
>> Devin: WHAT KIND OF FALL IS
THAT, EVERYONE IS ASKING?
THE MAJORITY OF THE BIG 10 HAS
VOTED AGAINST HAVING A SEASON
BECAUSE OF THE CORONAVIRUS.
LET’S GET BACK TO BERNIE WITH
MORE ON THE REACTION TO THIS.
SOME STUDENT ATHLETES AND
COACHES ARE SAYING THEY WANT TO
PLAY AND THAT INCLUDES JIM
HARBAUGH.
>> Bernie: THAT IS CORRECT. IT DOES INCLUDE JIM HARBAUGH.
IT DOES INCLUDE JIM HARBAUGH.
SEVERAL ATHLETES WHO WANT TO.
HOWEVER, THE BIG 10 PRESIDENTS
ARE HOLDING A EMERGENCY MEETING
AT THIS HOUR.
THE DECISION IS WHETHER TO HAVE
A FOOTBALL SEASON AS COVID RAGES ON.
OVER THE WEEKEND, THE BIG 10
PRESIDENTS VOTED 12-2 TO CANCEL
THE FOOTBALL SEASON.
TONIGHT, THEY’RE VOTING ON A
FINAL DECISION AND WILL MAKE IT
PUBLIC TONIGHT OR TOMORROW.
YOU’LL HAVE TO IMAGINE THEY VOTE
TO CANCEL -- IF THEY VOTED TO
CANCEL ON SATURDAY, THEY WOULD
CANCEL TODAY OR TOMORROW.
KEVIN WARREN IS TRYING TO GET
EVERYBODY ON BOARD FOR A SPRING
FOOTBALL SEASON.
THE PRESIDENTS ARE VOTING AS WE
SPEAK.
HOPE TO HAVE A DECISION LATER IN
SPORTS.
WE JUST GOT WORD THAT OHIO STATE
IS GONNA VOTE TO PLAY.
SO FROM THAT 12-2, IT GOES TO
11-3.
AND ANOTHER CONFERENCE HAS JUST
WEIGHED IN.
THE MOUNTAIN WEST IS CANCELING
THEIR FOOTBALL SEASON TO THE
SPRING.
KIDS, BACK TO YOU.
SEE YOU IN SPORTS.
>> Devin: SO MICHIGAN’S
UNIVERSITIES WEIGHING THE
DECISION AS THE CASES CONTINUE
TO CLIMB.
>> Kim: ANOTHER 557 CASES WITH 8
DEATHS.
WE HAVE WEEKLY AVERAGES AT
CLICKONDETROIT.COM.
FOR THE PAST 7 DAYS, AN AVERAGE
OF 653 CASES.
TODAY, NORTHVILLE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
ANNOUNCED BACK-TO-SCHOOL PLANS.
FAMILIES HAVE THE OPTION TO
START ONLINE OR GO IN PERSON OR
VIRTUAL FOR THE ENTIRE FIRST
SEMESTER.
>>> PARENTS ARE AWAITING THE
DECISION ON IN-PERSON LEARNING,
ONLINE, OR A MIX OF BOTH.
>> Devin: FOR PARENTS WHO HAVE
CHILDREN OF SPECIAL NEEDS, IT
POSES A UNIQUE CHALLENGE.
HOW ONE DISTRICT IS WORKING TO
MAKE THE TRANSITION SMOOTH FOR
STUDENTS AND PARENTS.
♪
>> Paula: THE ROCHESTER
COMMUNITY SCHOOL DISTRICT
ANNOUNCED IT WILL START WITH
100% REMOTE LEARNING.
THE ROCHESTER COMMUNITY DISTRICT
IS KNITTING TOGETHER PLANS TO
ADDRESS THE POPULATION OF 1800
SPECIAL NEEDS STUDENTS.
>> WE HAD A TEAM OF OVER 100
PEOPLE WORKING ON OUR
INSTRUCTIONAL MODEL ALL SUMMER.
>> EACH STUDENT WILL HAVE THEIR
OWN INDIVIDUALIZED PLAN OF
SERVICE AND SUPPORT BASED ON
WHAT’S WRITTEN IN THEIR I.D. IT WON’T BE THE EXACT SAME
IT WON’T BE THE EXACT SAME
AMOUNT BUT IT WILL GIVE THEM
DIRECT CONTACT.
>> Paula: PARENTS WILL GET
COMPANION MATERIALS.
>> THEY WILL MEET BIWEEKLY FOR MATERIALS AND RESOURCES THAT
MATERIALS AND RESOURCES THAT
FAMILIES CAN DO WITH THEIR
STUDENTS WHILE THEY’RE AT HOME.
IT’S NOT THE SAME AS HAVING A
SPECIAL ED PROVIDER IN PERSON,
BUT IT IS AN ADDITIONAL MEANS OF
SUPPORT OUTSIDE OF JUST THAT
VIRTUAL SCREEN TIME.
>> Paula: THE DISTRICT IS
LOOKING AT WAYS TO HELP WITH THE
SPECIALIZED LEARNING.
THE MOST VULNERABLE WILL BE THE
LOW-FUNCTIONING STUDENTS WHO CANNOT SELF-TROILT OR SELF-HELP.
CANNOT SELF-TROILT OR SELF-HELP.
THINK ABOUT AN IEP OR
INDIVIDUALIZED EDUCATION PLAN.
FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES, IT
IS INDIVIDUALIZED BASED ON
ABILITY OR INABILITY.
MANY CANNOT SELF START, STAY
FOCUSED.
THEY NEED ONE-ON-ONE
INDIVIDUALIZED ATTENTION.
AND IT MEANS THOSE THINGS JUST
PLAIN DISAPPEAR IN A REMOTE LEARNING SETTING.
LEARNING SETTING.
IN FACT, THE IDEA OF THE -- IT
WAS WRITTEN FOR ONLINE SETTINGS
NOT ONLINE.
>> WE DON’T KNOW THE SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS.
>> Paula: IT MEANS THE SINGLE
PARENT WHO WORKS IN FOOD
SERVICE, WHILE THEIR KID IS IN
SCHOOL, MAY LOSE ON EVERY LEVEL,
AND SO TOO THAT CHILD.
>> THEY MAY HAVE TO MAKE A
CHOICE, AND SOMETIMES IT’S NOT
AN EASY CHOICE.
>> WHAT’S REALLY IMPORTANT IS
THAT WHEN PARENTS HAVE A NEED,
THEY ENGAGE WITH THE SCHOOL
DISTRICT AND THEIR
ADMINISTRATORS AND ENGAGE WITH
THEIR TEACHERS AND WORK TOGETHER
TO COME UP WITH THE BEST
POSSIBLE PLAN IN A VERY
UNCERTAIN ENVIRONMENT.
>> Paula: I TALKED TO A LOT OF
EDUCATORS ABOUT THIS ONE AND
THEY CONFIDE THEY DO BELIEVE
THERE WILL BE A LOT OF STUDENTS
WHO SIMPLY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO
PERFORM REMOTELY THE WAY THEY
WOULD WITH FACE-TO-FACE OR IN-PERSON LEARNING AND THERE’S
IN-PERSON LEARNING AND THERE’S
GONNA HAVE TO BE A FOCUS LATER
ON RECLAIMING THE ABILITIES ONCE
SCHOOL IS ABLE TO RETURN TO WHATEVER NORMAL IS GOING TO BE.
WHATEVER NORMAL IS GOING TO BE.
PAULA TUTMAN, LOCAL 4.

THURSDAY EVENING AT 7:00 P.M. ON

>> Kim: DEPUTIES NEED YOUR HELP
TO FIND THE TWO MEN WHO BROKE
INTO AN ATM AND GOT AWAY WITH A
LOT OF MONEY.
>> Devin: THEY USED CHAINS AND CROWBARS IN LYON TOWNSHIP.
CROWBARS IN LYON TOWNSHIP.
THEY FOUND $1200 AND THE TRUCK
WAS STOLEN OUT OF REDFORD
TOWNSHIP.
THERE WAS $170,000 IN THE ATM AT
THE TIME OF THE THEFT.
SO THERE’S A CASH REWARD IF YOU
CAN HELP THEM MAKE AN ARREST.
>>> IT STARTED OFF AS A SIMPLE
BREAKING & ENTERING
INVESTIGATION.
A DOWNRIVER POLICE OFFICER MADE
A LIFE-SAVING DISCOVERY.
>> Kim: SOUTHGATE POLICE FOUND
THIS SEVERELY MALNOURISHED DOG
AND RUSHED HIM TO THE HOSPITAL
AND THIS IS WHAT HE LOOKS LIKE.
HE’S OUT OF THE HOSPITAL AND
HEALTHY.
KIM DeGIULIO SHOWS US HOW YOU
CAN NOW GET INVOLVED IN HELPING
HIM.
>> Kim: A SOUTHGATE PATROL
OFFICER WAS RESPONDING TO A CALL
IN THIS SOUTHGATE NEIGHBORHOOD.
WHEN SHE GOT TO THE HOUSE, SHE
FOUND SOMETHING WHICH WAS MUCH MORE CONCERNING THAN WHAT THE
MORE CONCERNING THAN WHAT THE
ORIGINAL CALL WAS FOR.
MORGAN PARISH WAS RESPONDING TO
THE BREAKING & ENTERING CALL.
>> HE SHOWED ME A ROOM HE HAD
THIS DOG IN.
>> Kim: SHE TOOK ONE ROOM AT THE
DOG AND KNEW SHE HAD TO ACT
FAST.
>> HE WAS COMPLETELY SKIN AND BONES.
KIFRNLTS SHE -- SHE WAS ABLE TO
GET A SEARCH WARRANT WITHIN
HOURS.
>> HE WAS CURLED UP IN A BALL ON
THE FLOOR, THOUGHT HE HAD
ALREADY PASSED.
HIS SKIN WAS SHEDDING OFF BECAUSE HE WAS SO MALNOURISHED.
BECAUSE HE WAS SO MALNOURISHED.
>> Kim: AND TAKEN TO THE
WOODHAVEN ANIMAL HOSPITAL TO
RECEIVE IMMEDIATE ATTENTION.
NOW TWO MONTHS LATER, THAT DOG SHE FOUND ON HER CALL HAS
SHE FOUND ON HER CALL HAS
COMPLETELY TRANSFORMED.
>> AND HE’S GORGEOUS!
HE HAS MADE A COMPLETE 180
TRANSFORMATION.
>> Kim: HE NAME IS LUCKY BECAUSE
HE IS LUCKY TO BE ALIVE.
AND LET THIS BE A LESSON TO
ANYONE WHO FINDS THEMSELVES IN A
SITUATION LIKE MORGAN DID: IT’S
BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY.
>> I WOULD RATHER GO ON CALLS
THAT ARE NOTHING THAN NOT GET
CALLED TO A CALL WHERE A DOG
COULD DIE WITHIN A FEW DAYS
BECAUSE IT’S IN THAT BAD OF A
CONDITION. >> Kim: LUCKY IS NOW AVAILABLE
>> Kim: LUCKY IS NOW AVAILABLE
FOR ADOPTION AND LOOKING FOR A
LOVING FAMILY.
