Now, from the Northwest and the world, all the news this evening. From Channel 11, this is the 530 News. Firefighters have a section of Des Moines cordoned off at this hour. They're working on some sort of hazardous material situation near 20th and the Kent-Des Moines Road. One person is suffering breathing problems. No word on a source, but they do say it's a home, not a business. We'll have more tonight at 10. A Boeing 767 charter jetliner has exploded and crashed with 213 people on board. The Austrian airliner blew up at a huge fireball and crashed into a remote hillside in Thailand. A reporter for the Bangkok Post says the plane was en route to Austria when it exploded. The plane was headed in a northwest, northwesterly direction, which is the normal flight path for planes headed from Bangkok towards Europe. Rescue efforts are underway northwest of Bangkok. So far, eight bodies have been recovered. No cause has been given for the crash of the lotto jet. The National Transportation Safety Board is digging through the wreckage of a small float plane that crashed in Snohomish County yesterday, killing one person. Snohomish County Sheriff's spokesman Elliot Woodall says that the plane burst into flames, but it crashed in a remote area of the Skyecomish River Valley. He says one person was found inside what was left of the plane, but the body was too badly burned to tell if the victim was a man or a woman. Woodall says that the pilot apparently did not file a flight plan, but for local flights, it's not a requirement. A Federal wayman is continuing to search for his missing wife. Larry Andrews says it's now been 12 days since his wife, Kyung, disappeared. Andrews met his wife while stationed in Korea in the Air Force. The two were married last winter after returning to the United States. Andrews says he can't think of any reason why Kyung would have left home without a trace. The concern is I don't feel that she's doing this on her own, personally. There's somebody else involved in it. Whether she's been abducted or whether they've convinced her to leave, I really don't know. But we are just worried sick about her. The case has been turned over to King County police. Andrews says so far, no leads have developed. Police are still looking for two suspects in two separate King County shootings yesterday. 22-year-old Jamie Velasquez was killed in a roadway tunnel beneath Sea-Tac Airport early yesterday morning in what police suspect was a premeditated murder. They say Velasquez was driving eastbound through the tunnel when someone in another vehicle apparently pulled alongside and fired about five shots at his pickup truck. In a separate incident, a Seattle man was shot and killed yesterday in front of the AKA Dance Club on Capitol Hill in Seattle. Police say 27-year-old Maurice Sterling was shot in the chest after he was approached by two people in a car and got into an argument with them. Police still don't know the motive for either of those shootings. Jury selection begins Tuesday in the murder trial of William Pollack. Pollack admits fatally stabbing former television reporter Larry Sterholm and nurse Deborah Swigert. He has pleaded guilty to two counts of aggravated first-degree murder by reason of temporary insanity. Swigert and Sterholm were killed at Swigert's Issaquah home in the summer of 1989. Prosecutors say Pollack had been romantically involved with Swigert, but she broke it off. The Clover Park School District is making a last-minute appeal for voters to approve a levy this Tuesday. A two-year levy would raise $16 million and would be matched by $4 million of state money. As Jerry Kemp reports, levy boosters say the money is crucial, but not everyone's convinced. Clover Park School officials say the district desperately needs the infusion of cash which would be provided by the $16 million levy. They say the money would allow restoration of programs which have been cut, upgrading of instruction and supplies, and purchase of new buses and fire alarm systems. If the levy fails... I think disastrous is a very good word. I think that's exactly what our district will face and all of the children in it, K through 12. Every student in the district will suffer the consequences if the levy is not passed. Just some of the disastrous consequences, says Trubenbach, would be drastic cuts in programs and staffing levels. Up to 170 of the district's 1,200 staffers would be laid off. Because of that, Trubenbach is hoping voters will respond positively to the levy request, especially seniors. She says many seniors may not be aware of just enacted legislation which increases the current level of property tax exemption for seniors. For seniors who are in an income bracket of $26,000 or less, many of these people will be exempt from paying for the levy so that they'll be able to support it and know they're supporting the children of the district without actually having a financial consequence. When you talk to people here in Lakewood, you find that many of them do support the levy. But you also find that there is opposition. Right now, taxes are very high in this area, and that's one of my concerns. We are paying too much right now for taxes. Levy supporters understand those feelings, but they're hoping that by Tuesday, they'll have persuaded a majority of overburdened taxpayers that the levy is an investment well worth making. Jerry Kemp, Channel 11 News. If the levy passes, the yearly cost for someone owning a $100,000 home would be $384. The levy would be paid for in two years.

Sears Best Quality Satin Finish is on sale only $17.99. But you gotta hurry, because Sears Best Weather Beater paint sale ends Saturday. The big issue of the coming week at the nation's capital is likely to be civil rights. The House of Representatives is expected to move on a new civil rights bill that President Bush has vowed to veto, but even hints of imposing quotas. As Carl Rochelle reports, quotas aren't the only obstacle to the bill's passage. Democrats have placed such a high priority on the civil rights bill that they have designated it House Bill Number 1. Liberals say it would strengthen laws against discrimination and hiring and promotions for both women and minorities. But on Thursday, President Bush said he sees little difference between this bill and the civil rights bill he vetoed last year. I do not want to veto another bill with the name civil rights on it. I take pride in the fact that I personally have had understanding and a good record on civil rights, but I am not going to sign a bill that will foster quotas directly or indirectly. Democrat Barney Frank, one of the bill's supporters, denied the bill contains quotas. It says that quotas are in fact not permitted. To ease business fears, Democrats have proposed a $150,000 limit on how much injured parties could sue for impunitive damages. That $150,000 is a trick. What the law is going to say is it's $150,000 or compensatory damages, whichever is higher. So if your compensatory damages are $2-3 million, you get another $2-3 million in punitive damages. The $150,000 is for looks. Regardless, the $150,000 cap, which would primarily affect women and religious groups, has angered District of Columbia delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton. She supports the bill, but opposes the cap. That of course is discriminating within the text of an anti-discrimination statute, and we ought not allow it. Some civil rights organizations argue that the bill would benefit middle-class workers, not those minorities who need help the most. I think what we need to do, and the civil rights leadership has put this as their number one priority this year, is to look at some of the problems, especially as they address to low-income individuals. This bill has nothing to do with them. The civil rights bill is expected to come up for debate in the House on Thursday with passage the following week. Supporters seem reasonably sure the Senate will also agree on a civil rights bill, and they're reasonably sure President Bush will veto it. What is still unclear is whether they can muster enough votes to override the president's expected veto. Carl Rochelle, CNN, Washington.

Watch Charles Johnson weeknights on the 10 o'clock news on Channel 11. Tony Potts here with what else on this holiday weekend. Indy. That's right. Did you know that they ran the first Indy 500 back in 1916 and they went a grand total of six miles? And took them about two hours to finish, believe it or not. Lucky to finish. Exactly. Today, it's 500 miles in 200 mile per hour cars before nearly a half million trackside fans. The winner of the 75th Indy 500 is a guy who has won it three times before, Rick Mears. Mears has been battling the Andrettys for years. First Mario, and then today, Mario's son, Michael Andretti. Michael grabbed the lead for a while, but Mears overtakes the kid to win his fourth Indy 500, averaging just over 176 miles per hour for 200 laps. Here's your unofficial order of finish. Michael Andretti is in second. Last year's winner, R.E. Lyondike, finishes third. Alanser Jr. grabs the fourth spot, and then it's yet another Andretti. This one, John, finishing fifth. The Winston 600 at Charlotte Speedway. The king, Richard Petty, slams into the wall and goes back in the infield, and he's willing to finish his eighth. He actually made it after that. Here's your winner, Davy Allison, rolling in to win. Ken Schwader is second. Dale Earnhardt finishes third. Well, do you get the feeling the Lakers are going to win it all? Magic Johnson will retire to become Pepsi's national spokesman, and Jack Nicholson will be the club's new general manager? Well, just a thought, but it seems anything is possible with Los Angeles these days. Magic and company are taking it to Portland, and the Blazers are reeling. Game four, a blowout today. Jack having fun as usual. We saw those in Portland on Tuesday. Lakers are on the break. This is the way it was all day, folks. Magic to Byron Scott, to James Worthy, Lakers by nine. More of the same. Magic will come up. He'll pass off to Worthy this time. Worthy says, I will return the favor. He sees Byron Scott on the right-hand side, puts it up for Byron. He puts it down. Lakers win easily, 116 to 95. So your Western Finals scoreboard looks like this. Lakers by 21. Lakers lead that series three games to one. In the Eastern Finals, Chicago versus Detroit. Game four tomorrow. Bulls lead that series three games to none. Well, a game you soon won't forget between the Mariners and Rangers last night in the kingdom. The game had everything. Home runs, great catches, extra innings. But most importantly of all, it didn't have a Mariners win. Texas took care of that, although Junior was incredible. Bottom of the third, Rangers lead two to one until he smacks one just 420 feet. A solo home run, it was two to one. Junior was not done, though. This time on defense with another gem going full speed, robbing Ruben Sierra of extra bases. That one will be on the highlight reel. He bruised his heel out of action last night, but he is on a day-to-day basis. Game score, three in the bottom of the fifth. Pete O'Brien drives in Alvin Davis. Davis is out by a mile, but the steamroller just goes over. Gino Petralli, Petralli drops the ball. Game, Mariners lead four to two. Top of nine, though. Another Mariners defensive gem. This one by Jay Beener grabs Rafael Palmeiro's liner in the corner and rifles a rope to Omar Vizcal. Couldn't be more perfect. Incredible. So Palmeiro is out, and that was a good thing because the next batter, Brian Downing, knocks a solo home run off Mike Jackson to tie the game to four. If Palmeiro would have been on, it would have been five-four, and they would have won right then. Now a tie to four until Texas scores four on the 11th, two-one Gary Pettis' hit here. And the Mariners were not done, though, in this game, providing fans with a lot of excitement. Eight-four, Texas, the bottom 11, and one guy on for Jay Beener. He knocks it out of there, a two-run home run, but the M's still lose eight to six. So Texas wins its 12th. The game under way, currently no score. Bobby Wood on the mound for the Rangers at the 5-0-5 game, and Bill Krueger on the mound for the Mariners. We'll have highlights and postgame tonight on the Sunday Sports Extra. In today's action, Brian McCray helps his manager and dad, Hal McCray, win his second game as manager of the Kansas City Royals with this home run here, and the Royals continue their assault on the twins.

This afternoon, the Bucs hosting the Philadelphia Phillies at Three Rivers Stadium. There are some Stanley Cup fans in Pittsburgh because the Penguins won last night. In the fourth, the Pirates' Jose Lien loops one down the right-field line. The ball goes over Dale Murphy's head. Dale never much of a glove. Two-run score, Pirates win by three. Scores for you now, Cincinnati blanks, L.A. three-zips. St. Louis just bombs the Mets. San Francisco an easy time over Atlanta. Cubs over Montreal, eight-to-six. And Houston, ten better than San Diego, 13-to-three. Well, coming into today's final round of the Southwest Bell Colonial, seven golfers were within two strokes of leader Bob Lohr. So you can bet there was one serious shootout. On the Fort Worth course this afternoon, Tom Pertzer takes the first shot and the most important shot out of the sand, and he putts out of the sand. Don't try this at home. It goes in. A 64 for Pertzer. He wins the Colonial, plus $216,000. I want to change my profession one of these days. I guess my handicap's too high.

The long-dormant Mount Unzen is spewing lava again, forcing 3,500 people to flee their homes. A series of eruptions began about 10 days ago. Today, lava flowed within a few hundred yards of one village. One man was scorched by volcanic gas. The mountain, located near Nagasaki, had been quiet for almost 200 years. Quiet here in comparison. Very quiet. In fact, it was very similar to yesterday's weather. Almost a carbon copy. We'll be a little bit better tomorrow. We're going to explain that in a moment. Let's go out to Sea-Tac and see what's happening at 5 p.m. where we have mostly cloudy skies. Current temperature at 59. That's the high for the day. Humidity at 58%. The barometer, 30.16 and steady. And the winds are southwesterly at 10. This is the way the temperatures looked. Pretty close to normal this morning, 47. The afternoon high, no, it should be 59. So that's seven degrees below. Of course, those are the records, 37 and 87. And in the rainfall gauge, 1 one-hundredth of an inch fell early this morning and late last night. We're right on for the month, as you can see. And on the yearly amount, 21.67 keeps us a little over four inches ahead on that annual gauge. Well, this is the latest visible satellite imagery. That's where we can see the light bouncing off the clouds. And it gives us a good depiction as if you were in space taking a picture. A lot of clouds up against the crest of the Cascades. Of course, they're just mostly cloudy across all of western Washington. You can see filter sunshine in eastern Washington. And as a result, this is the way temperatures look at 5 p.m. And they're coming up here. Low 50s along the coast. Clouds are a little bit thicker. They've had some on-again, off-again drizzle in that area throughout the sound, though. We're mostly in the upper 50s. Again, 59 in the SeaTac area. But the warmest temperature is a 62 at Boeing Field right now. Eastern Washington a little bit better. 58 at Pullman, 60 at Spokane. And of course, upper 60s. Of course, a couple of nice 70s in the Central Basin, the Tri-Cities area at the Pasco Airport, reporting a very mild 74 at this hour. Another stormy day across the nation with a lot of humid air along the eastern seaboard. Record heat over parts of, well, again, Baltimore reporting in at 93. Beckley, West Virginia, 86. Richmond, 96. So very warm in that area. Another 3, 4, 5 inches of rain have fallen across the lower Mississippi Valley. And Tupelo, Mississippi, in fact, reported 6 inches of rain. So a lot of flash flooding in that area. Severe weather popping up even at this hour over eastern sections of Kansas, Nebraska, even down into parts of northern Oklahoma, where tornado warnings will be up till about 10, 11 o'clock. Their time and plenty of sunshine over the southwestern part of the United States. In fact, from about central Oregon all the way down the west coast. This is a better look at what's happening over the west. A frontal boundary over the Rockies moving eastward. And of course, that has no effect on our weather, except it's allowing air to move from higher pressure to the lower pressure, and that's bringing in the marine air. It just stayed on the Washington coast, but it gave way and backed off along the Oregon and California coast. And of course, they had a little more sunshine than we did. These are current temperatures now. A very warm, sizzling century mark at Phoenix, 90 at Las Vegas, 63 at Los Angeles, 59 in the Bay Area, 64 at Reno. And this is Coeur d'Alene, very cool there. 58 at Portland and 57 at Vancouver, B.C. As we take a wider look across the Pacific, the only frontal boundary is one that's well out coming out of the Gulf of Alaska. That will remain stationary for a couple of days until this system here just off the horizon comes in. They'll join up, and they'll come our way about Wednesday, and we're going to get back into rain, unfortunately, Thursday. But until that time, morning clouds giving away a little quicker each day, and we're going to have a rather pleasant week, unfortunately, after the memorial weekend ends. So this is the way we're going to sum this up here. In fact, first we'll put this into motion. You can see some circulation here over the state. An upper level disturbance went by, and that joined up with the surface up front that's over the Rockies right now. So in the next 24 hours in our near-term forecasting, a lot of 40s tonight because we'll have a considerable cloudiness, 35 in the Cascades with a 7,000-foot freezing level, eastern Washington 30s to near 40s, Spokane had a record low 37 this morning. Eastern Washington will rebound quite nicely tomorrow, Spokane at 65, everybody else upper 60s and 70s with plenty of sunshine, western Washington morning clouds, afternoon sun, all 63 or 64. The extended forecast, let's take a look at that right now. And once again, tomorrow morning clouds, afternoon sun, Tuesday and Wednesday, really nice days. And then, Bill, Thursday we increase the clouds and back into rain. So the timing was really bad on the Memorial Day weekend. Sorry. Dismissed it by that much. Dismissed it by that much. We'll talk to you later. Did you play the lotto last time? I did and lost. Yeah, everybody did. But if you don't normally play, you might want to this week. The jackpot will jump to $8 million Wednesday because no one picked all six numbers last night. Here are last night's numbers, 2, 22, 26, 29, 41, and 46. And you still lost it. Finally tonight, there's a not too good of a secret about where President Bush is going to be tomorrow. We almost always know where he is. For instance, today the president went fishing. But in an unusual move, the White House has refused to reveal what the president is doing tomorrow. On the other hand, it's also known that Yale University traditionally never reveals who their commencement speaker is until the day of graduation, which is tomorrow. And President Bush is a graduate of Yale. Some secret, ain't it, honey? Mm-hmm. Government institutions, there you go. Can't keep a secret, can they, even when they try? Return of the World League of American Football Force, that's right, the increasingly popular helmet camp, San Antonio, New York, New Jersey. This is how it looks. Now this is how it sounds. Oh, maybe we need a weather cam, Dave. Well, Tony, we're getting tired of saying the same old thing, morning low clouds, but that's the situation. Marine air coming our way, and it's the last of the weekend because it's the Memorial weekend. Low clouds in the morning, 40s comfortable, southwesterly winds, and still a 520 sunrise. A lot of clouds, Bill, not much sun around. Well, that's our news for now. We hope you watch tonight at 10 for more news, whether in the Sunday Sports Extra. Good night. A little extra high with the double spin. They say the memory...
