Trump Finally Stops in Flint
On Wednesday, September 14th in his first visit to Flint since its ‘water crisis’ started, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump came to try and get a better understanding of the city’s problems. Trump did not give any warning to his visit until the day before, and he still came despite Flint’s mayor Karen Weaver insisting that he is not welcome. He stopped at Bishop National Airport in the afternoon and his first stop was the Flint Water Plant, much to the chagrin of Mayor Weaver. Then not long after, he went to Bethel United Methodist Church to speak, where no local media was allowed in. It was at one point during his speech in the church that Trump started heckling his opponent Hillary Clinton, when Rev. Faith Green Timmons interrupted his speech and told him that he wasn’t invited to give a political speech. He then finished his speech and left as the mixed sounds of protesters and supporters chased after him.
Legionnaires Cover Up
On Wednesday, September 14th Corinne Miller stood in the Genesee District court for pre-trial on her role in the Flint Water Crisis. Miller was an employee of the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services charged with one misdemeanor and two felonies. In order to avoid a trial Corinne Miller made a plea deal with the state of Michigan where she announced her role in the legionnaires cover up. At the pre-trial it was announced that Miller and two of her superiors knew about the deadly outbreak for months and, although they were required to report it, they chose not to tell the public.As a part of her plea deal, Corinne Miller will go into more detail of what happened with prosecutors and, if she follows her parole, will avoid jail time. Miller will be sentenced officially on April 19th, 2017 and DTV will keep you updated as more news on these events comes to light.
Trump Comes To Dimondale
On August 19th, Donald Trump came to The Summit Sports Complex in Dimondale, Michigan. Trump was fresh off a plane after visiting the flooded cities of Louisiana. He spoke about the spirits of the people there and how the American nation never gives up. His famous line, “Make America great again” lead his campaign and the many new platforms he set that day.
While he was there reassured the crowd on his most controversial platform, his plans for immigration and building the wall. ” Our border will be protected, and our children will be safe, very very safe.” ” And we will build the wall, don’t worry about it. ” The crowd erupted in cheers as he continued on.
He also added in a new platform on African Americans, that he believed would relate to the Mid Michigan people, so close to Detroit. ” 58% of your youth is unemployed” He believes that this is the Democrats fault and spoke of how to fix it.

Stronger Together
Hillary Clinton came to Warren, MI in the Futuramic Tool warehouse to speak about her new economic plans for America. Her plans focus on working well for all Americans rather than those at the top. Clinton brings many points to relieve economic pressure from the middle class, she says its taken personally because she is “a product of the American middle class.”
Many of her points conclude to expanding opportunities for the middle and lower class such as, better school and water quality, affordable child care, all homes to have internet access by 2020, and public health insurance options. All these points to make all of America stronger as a whole.
Clinton also uses her plans as an opportunity to bring up Republican Presidential Candidate Donald Trump. Throughout the speech she compared her tax plan’s to trump’s. She say’s, ” his own advisers have said he may not stand by them.” In return she compares the two by saying,
” I am telling you what I will do, I’m laying out my plans and want you to hold me accountable for delivering results.”
On the topic of Trump, she takes time to address trade policy. She spoke of past trade deals to resonate with the people of Michigan and the loss of factory jobs. Clinton gives jobs a number one priority in the U.S. In fact, she believes overseas jobs need to comeback to America and will “stop any trade deal that kills jobs or holds down wages.”
Clinton came to a closing in her speech by mentioning she plans to bring everyone together in the white house, not only republicans and democrats but most importantly Americans. She left the stage with, “America is stronger together.”
DTV up for Two Student Emmys

DTV Control Room Dedication
During DTV’s formative years there were a couple things you could count on. One was total chaos behind the scenes, and the other was a dedicated group of students to help put out the fires and make incredible student television! Today we recognize a special group of students who dedicated themselves to growing this station and putting their heart and soul into everything they produced in DTV.
Five members of the Baker and the Hall families sat at the head of the DTV class from 2001-2011. Brett Baker, Nick Baker, Zach Hall, Ethan Hall, & Hannah Hall served as true leaders of the DTV class that went above and beyond the call of duty to help push the boundaries of student television, and set the tone for generations of students to come.
On any given day you could find Brett pushing buttons to make our way outdated Globecaster work, Zach Hall hustling to grab a camera to capture a breaking news fire, Ethan pounding away in the corner of the studio, working on editors that are way too slow, Nick laying the ground work and organizing everything from class rules to our Chyron System, and Hannah leading the way on DTV’s first two documentaries.
This is just the a small taste of what these students accomplished here. They were all true difference makers that helped us become what we are now! So today we dedicate our control room to the hard work and dedication of these students. From now on the control room in the DTV room will be known at the Baker/Hall Control room.
Thank you to these students and their supportive parents for the countless hours, and heart they put into our program. Without students like you DTV would be just another class, but you have truly made a difference by raising the bar for every DTV student that followed you!
