IT’S GOING TO STAY THAT WAY ALL
WEEKEND LONG. YOU’RE GOING TO
NEED THE AIR CONDITIONING FOR
THE NEXT 48 HOURS BECAUSE IT’S

LET’S GET RIGHT ON OVER TO BRETT
WITH WHAT WE CAN EXPECT THIS
WEEKEND. HI, BRETT. WATER IS
GOING TO BE YOUR BEST FRIEND
THIS WEEKEND. MAKE SURE THAT
YOU’RE DRINKING PLENTY OF IT. IF
YOU’RE GOING TO BE OUTSIDE, IT’S
GONNA FEEL LIKE THE MID
NINETIES. WITH THE HUMIDITY THAT
WE HAVE IN PLACE EARLIER TODAY,
WE HAD A COUPLE OF SPOTTY
SHOWERS DOT THE MAP. WE MAY SEE
ONE OR TWO OF THOSE TOMORROW BUT
MOST IF NOT ALL, STAY DRY AND
THE CHANCES DO YOU GET BETTER AS

BIT. SKIES HAVE CLEARED OUT A
BIT ATTEMPTS AROUND THE

DO A TOUCH BETTER ON SUNDAY, BUT
THEN INCREASED CHANCE FOR
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IS
BACK IN THE FORECAST. WE’LL TALK
TIMING ON THAT. AND TALK ABOUT
WHEN THAT DRY AIR FINALLY
RETURNS COMING UP IN JUST A BIT.

TO 100 FT. DEEP BENEATH THE
SURFACE, PEARSON IS FINISHED AS
HEAD HOCKEY COACH AT THE
UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN. THE
SCHOOL CONFIRMED TODAY IT WILL
NOT RENEW PEARSON’S CONTRACT,
WHICH EXPIRED IN APRIL, WHEN
LAST SEASON ENDED, AN
INVESTIGATION FOUND PEARSON
FOSTERED A TOXIC CULTURE WITHIN
THE CLUB, INCLUDING RETALIATION
AGAINST PLAYERS FOR SPEAKING UP
, ALLOWING WOMEN WITHIN THE
PROGRAM TO BE HARASSED AND
ENCOURAGING PLAYERS TO LIE ABOUT
COVID. CONTACT TRACING PEARSON
HAD BEEN THE WOLVERINES HEAD
COACH SINCE 2017. NO REPLACEMENT
HAS YET BEEN NAMED. THE GIRL
SCOUTS ARE MUCH MORE THAN JUST
WONDERFUL, DELICIOUS COOKIES.
IT’S ABOUT GAINING EXPERIENCE
AND LEARNING LESSONS. AND
SOMETIMES THOSE ARE LIFE LESSONS
THAT CAN HELP OTHERS. AND THAT’S
EXACTLY WHY JASON COLTHORPE IS
THAT, UH, A SCHOOL TONIGHT IN
MACOMB COUNTY, AND HE JOINS US
LIVE WITH MORE. HEY, KIM. WE’RE
AT OJIBWA ELEMENTARY. AND
EARLIER TONIGHT WE ASKED THREE
OF THE GIRLS WHO HELPED BUILD
THIS FOOD PANTRY WHY THEY BECAME
GIRL SCOUTS AND ONE OF THEM SAID
TO MEET NEW FRIENDS AND ANOTHER
SAID, BECAUSE OF ALL THE FUN
ACTIVITIES AND THE OTHER SAID TO
HELP PEOPLE AND THAT’S EXACTLY
WHAT THIS DOES. THIS IS THE FOOD
PANTRY. ELIZABETH TESSA AND
ELEANOR ARE JUST HALF OF THE
JUNIOR GIRL SCOUTS TROOP 7658.
OH, THE NIGHTTIME SIDE HAS EACH
OF OUR NAMES UNDER A STAR AND WE
HAVE A TROOP TENT SHOWING OFF
WHAT THEY BUILT TO EARN THEIR
BRONZE AWARD STUFF THAT YOU CAN
CHOOSE FROM THE GIRLS CAME UP
WITH THE IDEA TO BUILD A FOOD
PANTRY ON A CAMPING TRIP. THEY
LEARNED HOW TO BUILD AND USE
THEIR HANDS AND USE TOOLS. THAT
UM, A LOT OF KIDS OUR AGE DON’T
GET TO DO. WE HAD TO JUST BUILD
IT COMPLETELY FROM SCRATCH, AND
WE PAINTED IT AND LIKE WE HAD
THE SAW DOWN THE WOOD TO SIZE
PUT ON THE SHINGLES. THEY HAD A
LOT OF FUN DOING IT. WELL THERE
WAS AT LEAST ONE THING THAT
WASN’T FUN. DEFINITELY STANDING
. IT MAKES YOUR ARMS HURT REALLY
BADLY. LEADER JIM DEADLY SHOWER
SAYS SOMEONE DONATED A KITCHEN
CABINET TO HELP BUT THEY BOUGHT
THE REST OF THE MATERIALS WITH
MONEY FROM COOKIE SALES. AND
BESIDES GETTING THEIR BRONZE
AWARDS, THE GIRLS WANTED TO HELP
OTHERS HOPING IT’S GOING TO BE A
SELF SUSTAINING FOOD PANTRY SO
PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY WILL
HOPEFULLY WILL DONATE BY JUST
COMING BY AND DROPPED THE FOOD
OFF WHEN THEY SEE IT’S GETTING
LOW. PEOPLE NEED I’M NO
QUESTIONS ASKED THESE COME AND
PICK OUT WHAT THEY NEED AND HOW
IT WORKS. SOMEONE TAKES
SOMETHING AND THEN SOMEONE ELSE
MIGHT LEAVE SOMETHING, SO IT’S
KIND OF LIKE AN INFINITE LOOP OF
IT. YOU KNOW? HOPEFULLY THE NEED
IS AN INFINITE BUT CERTAINLY THE
HUMAN SPIRIT THAT WAS INVOLVED.
FEELS LIKE OUR HARD WORK HAD A
REWARD. REALLY? YEAH NO MORE
STANDING. YEAH THAT’S RIGHT. NO
MORE STANDING, ALTHOUGH I WILL
SAY THEY DID A VERY GOOD JOB ON
THE STANDING BY THE WAY TO GET
THE INITIAL AMOUNT OF FOOD. THEY
HAD A FOOD DRIVE, AND THEY GOT A
GREAT RESPONSE FROM THAT. BUT
THE TROOP LEADER TOLD ME TODAY
WHEN THEY CAME OUT, AND THEY
OPENED THIS AND CHECK THEY HAD
EVEN MORE. IT’S BEEN HERE ONE
DAY. THEY PUT THIS IN LAST
NIGHT. SO IN ONE DAY, IT’S
ALREADY GETTING A GREAT RESPONSE
OF PEOPLE DROPPING OFF FOOD. AND
THEY JUST HOPE THAT IT’S GOING
TO DO A TON OF GOOD TROOPS.
76580 KIM BACK TO YOU. VERY GOOD
. SO JASON WHAT HAPPENS ONCE
SCHOOL STARTS? INTERESTING YEAH
, YOU KNOW, THEY KIND OF TURN
OVER THE CONTROL OF THAT TO THE
STUDENT COUNCIL HERE AT OJIBWA
ELEMENTARY, AND THEY TAKE IT
OVER AND THEY KEEP AN EYE ON.
THEY KIND OF RUN THE SHOW AFTER
THAT, SO IT’S GREAT KIDS GET ALL
