Oregon football QB Dante Moore makes $10,000 donation to former high school with NIL funds
Oregon football QB Dante Moore makes $10,000 donation to former high school with NIL funds In today's era of name, image, and likeness in the world of college football, some athletes are getting paid large sums of money far beyond what they ever dreamed of at the college level. A select few of these players are using that money to give back, both to their family and their communities. Oregon Ducks quarterback Dante Moore is one of these players. According to Joel Sebastianelli of Local 4 News in Detroit, Moore donated $10,000 to his alma mater high school. Detroit King, where he won back-to-back state championships. On top of the donation, Moore spent time with students at Detroit PAL, reading his children's book "From Journey to Dreams" and signing copies for those in attendance. 'Being here is a true blessing to give back to the community,' Moore told Sebastianelli. 'But being far away from home, every opportunity I get to come home, I try to seize the opportunity. I'm home now, and I feel like it's a good time to give back.' Moore's book is based on his path from growing up and striving to be a star football player, focusing on how hard work and determination led him to the ultimate success of winning state championships and being rated as one of the top players in the 2023 class. 'If you have a dream, chase it,' he said. 'Many people think that the sky's the limit, but I say reach for the stars. I feel that as kids, we have many things going on in our minds. Have sports, 100% energy, running around throughout the day. But overall, I feel that having a dream, just go ahead and chase it. Anything's possible in this world.' Moore is the presumed starter for Oregon in 2025, set to take over for Dillon Gabriel after a 13-1 season for the Ducks. He will have to defeat Austin Novosad in a QB competition this offseason first, though.

Detroit's WDIV meteorologist Kim Adams reveals she's dealing with 'serious health issues'
WDIV-TV meteorologist Kim Adams has revealed she is dealing with "serious health issues" in a statement that she shared on social media and the Local 4 News website. "In recent months, I have been dealing with some serious health issues that have caused me to seek care at Cleveland Clinic in Ohio," wrote Adams. "Because of my ongoing condition, I have had to be off the air for periods of time." Adams went on to indicate she went public with her health issues to thank viewers for "the outpouring of support" and concern. Although she didn't go into any specifics on her condition, she said she would do her best to provide updates. Adams, an Emmy-winning TV journalist, became the first woman to be an on-air meteorologist in Detroit TV news in 1997. After leaving WDIV in 2009, she returned to what is now called the 4WarnWeather team in 2022. The veteran meteorologist is a breast cancer survivor who works closely with New Day Foundation for Families to help cancer patients with their financial needs. Mike Campbell: WWJ-AM all-news radio reporter dies In 2017, before she rejoined WDIV, she shared her story with the station about being a single mother of five who had moved her family back to Detroit and was running Kim Adams Productions when she was diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer. After initially being told by that she was fine, she followed her instincts and persistently sought more opinions. The Oakland University alum got her master's degree in broadcasting and film from Wayne State University and studied thermodynamics and dynamics at the U.S. Department of Agriculture Graduate School in Washington, D.C., and synoptic meteorology at Ohio State University, according to her WDIV biography. She previously was an intern as WJR-AM and also worked in broadcast news in Zanesville and Columbus, Ohio and Detroit's WXYZ-TV.

Last-minute budget in Illinois avoids public scrutiny
A bill that could change the prescription drug system in Iowa waits for a final decision from Governor Kim Reynolds. And Illinois state lawmakers wrestle over big budget problems. Host Jim Niedelman gets into that with former Iowa Republican Party Chair Steve Grubbs and Democratic Political Consultant Porter McNeil. 'Anytime you want to put a $54 billion budget together in the state of Illinois under normal circumstances with the competing interest of Chicago and downstate and the suburbs it's a challenge,' McNeil said. 'It's not great to push something to the last minute, but the reality is I think that happens in most state legislatures,' Grubbs said. To hear more, click on the video.

Ramifications of president's new love for cryptocurrency
President Donald Trump loves cryptocurrency. He used to hate it. In fact, during his first administration, he called it a scam. That was back in the days he claimed to be a billionaire when he wasn't. Well, he is a billionaire now because of his investment in crypto and his own meme coin. Host Jim Niedelman brings back Porter McNeil and Steve Grubbs to discuss. 'This whole crypto move by the President has Republicans on both sides. I think a lot of Republicans are a little bit uncomfortable with some of the self interest,' Grubbs said. 'This economy and this market is important, and it's good that the U.S. wants to be a leader in it,' McNeil said. To hear more, click on the video.

4TR WEB EXTRA: Miller-Meeks addresses provision to weaken courts & potential town hall
Thanks for clicking on this Web Extra. We didn't have time to bring you all of Host Jim Niedelman's conversation with Iowa Congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks on 4 the Record. Here we move away from the changes to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act to a small provision titled Restriction of Funds that's in the Republicans' budget proposal. It has to do with the power of the courts. Another provision is Section 70302 at the end of the immigration section. It essentially says the courts can't use government money to enforce a contempt citation for failing to comply with an injunction or temporary restraining order unless the plaintiffs put up a security bond up front to cover the expense of enforcement. That would basically enable the president and his team to ignore or defy court orders. Host Jim Niedelman brings back Representative Mariannette Miller-Meeks. 'As we learned when we made our trips to the border, people don't come back for their asylum hearing,' Miller-Meeks said. To hear more, click on the video.
