are expected in about a month. Park County claims the baby's Smiths, but Smith's attorney
says the father is the girl's 13-year-old brother. Both Smith and Jensen remain in the
Park County jail under $25,000 bond each. A trial has been set for October 28. Family
members of two men killed in a fiery crash west of Bozeman last April that also killed
three other people have sued the estate of one of the drivers. The suit was filed against
the estate of James Wald. Wald had a blood alcohol content of.24, more than twice the
legal limit. The widow and father of two people killed in that mishap are asking for unspecified
damages. Wald of Belgrade was test driving a car when he crashed head on into another
vehicle. The Missoula Rural Fire Volunteers say they will not support a proposal to reorganize
the department. The Volunteers Association says there are not enough volunteers to support
the proposal which would reduce the number of full-timers by almost half. They also say
services would suffer. Some full-timers agree. Our position is in 100 support of their philosophy
and we kind of mutually agreed on some of it. We know we are an integral team, us and
the volunteers, the way we deliver services in the Missoula, in the outlying Missoula
area and we recognize that vividly that we, one of us can't do the job without the other
one unless there's a significant change in the way those people are willing to pay for
it and I don't think they are. So in the present circumstances we feel strongly that we need
both of us here to do the job. Well I guess I'm a little bit disappointed in the position
that the Volunteers Association took last night. However I guess I can see where they
come from in some respects. The basic issue that we're trying to deal with is we started
this fiscal year with an anticipated shortfall of $120,000 and we need to resolve that so
that we can provide efficient service to the community. Sundaram says rural fire is not
a likely merger candidate because of the financial situation now. He says though that may happen
in the future. University of Montana President George Dennison says the Missoula school will
be as much as $2.5 million short to handle its record enrollment this fall. Dennison
said today that the U.M. is expected to have almost 11,000 students total or the equivalent
of 9,200 full-time students. He says the U.M. is funded for only slightly fewer than 8,300
full-timers. The university could be stretched even thinner shortly though. The Stevens administration
wants to take away $21 million from the U.S. system as part of a budget reduction. The
Regents and the Governor will discuss that Friday. Dennison would not comment on that
meeting. An attorney for regional forester John Muma says that Muma has not formally
agreed to retire despite news accounts of his being forced out of office. Attorney William
Bransford says Muma has 60 days until his retirement becomes effective. Muma made his
decision August 30th but Bransford says he has now until November 1st to make it final
or accept another job. Many environmentalists have been in an uproar since the announcement
came more than two weeks ago charging that Muma was forced from the top office by top
forest service officials who were dissatisfied with the Northern Regents timber cutting performance.
In time the man who's taking Muma's place for the time being broke his silence over
the issue today and while John Hughes did not say much about his predecessor he did
tell the new Center Network's Jim Harmon that times are changing on the national forests.
A 28-year veteran of the forest service John Hughes had served the past three as deputy
regional forester in Missoula until September 6th when John Muma announced his resignation.
That announcement says Hughes came as a surprise. Yeah I'd say it was surprising. It's very
emotional. You know I think that we would like to get things settled, we'd like to get
on with our job. But it's been an emotional time. There has been a great deal of speculation
that Muma was forced out for not meeting congressionally mandated timber cutting quotas. Hughes
says there is pressure but it's pressure for the forest service to do all of its jobs not
just meeting timber quotas. The problem with the quotas he says is that they were the result
of forest plans put together a decade ago and they're too ambitious. It's probably something
that we should have expected. I think if anything was broken our forest plan it was the expectations
that people had. People thought if we said that this was the ASQ that all we had to do
was finance it and deliver it. But the truth is we have to do that project on the ground.
We've got to go through environmental analysis and we've got to take care of the other resources
and we've got to get our output as close as we can and all our standards and guides. The
controversy over timber quotas hopefully says Hughes will be a healthy controversy resulting
in a good balance. But while he says he strongly supports public input into timber sales he'd
much prefer to see a system of upfront comment rather than 11th hour appeals. We have one
of the oldest and probably the most liberal appeal systems of any federal agency in the
United States and it's been intended to really be an appeal system that's aimed towards a
win-win type thing. We can take people's concerns into account. We can end up with projects
that we can implement on the ground and I see it slowly turn into a win-lose type thing.
You either win or lose. But all the concentration on a single aspect of the forest service bothers
Hughes. Repeatedly today he made the point that the forest service is much more than
the agency setting up timber sales. It is he said in charge of rangeland, water resources,
wildlife, wilderness, mining, recreation and more. Jim Harmon, News Center Network, Missoula.

September 22nd on Channel 6, your news center. One woman was injured today when she apparently
fell asleep at the wheel on I-90 west of Missoula. The highway patrol says 23-year-old Trina
Clifford of Oregon suffered a broken back when her truck veered off the freeway shortly
before noon. Clifford apparently fell asleep and then over corrected before crashing. The
woman was flown to a Portland hospital for treatment. Federal money for two Gallatin
Valley highway projects is a bit closer tonight. The U.S. Senate today passed a transportation
bill that includes three quarters of a million dollars for Bozeman's North 19th interchange
at I-90. That's in addition to the four and a half million appropriated by Congress last
year. The measure also includes a million and a half dollars to replace Belgrade's
Jackrabbit Lane overpass. The bill now heads to a House Senate conference committee where
the details will be worked out. The president's nominee to become the head man at the CIA
was taking a beating on Capitol Hill one more time today. Sandy Gilmore explains why. Day
two and Robert Gates repeatedly denied knowing about the Iran-Contra scheme until late in
1986 even though he was number two at the CIA. I've acknowledged that I should have
been more vigilant. But Senator Howard Metzenbaum wasn't buying it. Mr. Gates, that blows my
mind. Metzenbaum appeared incredulous. Who didn't want to know time and time again. Metzenbaum
did not let up. It was as if he said, I'm fading into the shadows. I don't want to hear
another word about it. See no evil. Hear no evil. Speak no evil. But Metzenbaum did not
crack Gates' cool, almost stiff demeanor. He argued Iran-Contra wasn't so obvious back
in 1986. All these alarms and bells and whistles seem so apparent now five years away from
those events. Republicans on the Intelligence Committee have jumped in to help Gates defending
his integrity and his abilities as an intelligence analyst. He was wrong on Gorbachev. Republicans
were not amused when Metzenbaum accused them of toeing the line for President Bush. And
I resent being told that I am sitting here as a political pawn of anybody because I am
not nor are my colleagues. So far Democrats have not produced an Iran-Contra smoking gun
and at worst Gates appears guilty of not wanting to know more. But after a recess tomorrow
the committee will hear from former CIA officials, one of whom will testify that Gates knew more
than he is currently letting on. Sandy Gilmore, NBC News, the Capitol.
The United Nations General Assembly opened its 46th session by welcoming seven new members

believed. A report in tomorrow's journal of the National Cancer Institute says that
exercise not only keeps the heart healthy, it may also protect against colon cancer.
A study of men between the ages of 30 and 79 found that those who exercised regularly
and vigorously had about half the risk of colon cancer as those who were not active.
Some good business news from Missoula tonight. An electrical equipment company announced
today that it is relocating to Missoula from Chehalis, Washington. Ross Electric rebuilds
and recycles electrical transformers used by utility companies. Its director says all
operations may eventually move to Missoula. At this point it's just an expansion to our
business with the possibility of phasing out the Chehalis office. That being in our company
everyone would like to make the move because everybody likes to get out of the rain. But
it is an expansion at this point looking ahead that we would certainly close the Chehalis
office. Ross Electric will build on a 10 acre site west of Missoula. 25 new jobs are expected
to be created with that move. If you notice that some music stores in western Montana
were open a little later last night than normal. It was because of a new album by the hard
rock band Guns N' Roses. It went on sale at midnight and it's being predicted that this
one chunk of music will bring the head bangers out of their homes with open wallets. It's
a minute past midnight at a record store in Manhattan's Greenwich Village. The store stayed
open late like a thousand others across the country to give the groupies of Guns N' Roses
the first crack at threatening the biggest album ever in terms of sales, Michael Jackson's
Thriller. Of late, hard rock, acid rock, heavy metal, the stuff that screams obscenities
and insults at you has been on the wane down overall some 10%. Many say too many copycat
bands out there. But the same critics say Guns N' Roses is real with a lead singer named
Axl Rose whose voice the New York Times calls a constant irritant is legitimately abrasive.
But the band is so hard and sometimes violent that it gives some other hard rock the consistency
of Pablum. I think you're still going to be seeing a lot of Pablum hard rock for one thing.
It should prove to be one of the superstar releases of this year or the next couple of
years probably and will just as far as that goes help give hard rock a good name as far
as the retailers are concerned. Like the treasures of Solomon's Mines, the Guns N' Roses music
was kept under lock and key until the release time at midnight. Once again, hard rock music
with the glitter of gold. Guns N' Roses records for the Geffen label, marketing director
Robert Smith. We're expecting this record to sell several dozen million albums. Where
or what the exact number is is really at this point just almost impossible to predict. What
can one smash release mean for an ailing industry? Varieties Ken Zimmerman did some mental arithmetic
and came up with statistics that scream as loud as the music. Seems to be a pretty safe
bet that the retail market which was pretty soft this summer is going to bounce back on
this album's coattails pretty much. The band got a jump start on a hit release when one
of the singles You Could Be Mine was in the summer smash movie Terminator 2. With no promotion
at all, it alone sold 800,000 copies. And yes, it is in the record stores. We'll be
back with the weather. Stay with us. Coming up later on the Tonight Show, starring Johnny

What a wonderful world. The quality shows on NBC. A pleasant night in the region, but
it should get a little bit cooler. Let's check the current conditions right now before we
get into the forecast a little bit later. Kalispell, clear skies and 51 degrees, only
got up to 66 today in Kalispell. Overnight low is 42. And the Missoula area right now,
56 degrees, clear skies after a high of near 67. And Buttes right now, we have partly cloudy
skies, 44 after a high today of only 53 degrees. And in Bozeman, not much difference, partly
cloudy skies, 45 degrees in the Bozeman area after a high today of near 58. Let's take
a look at the weather watchers. The weather watchers around the area are reporting pretty
much the same thing in the northwest, in West Glacier, 54 partly cloudy skies and light winds.
In Ronan, a little bit further to the south, 57 degrees, clear skies and only slight winds.
In the west central part of the state, near Arleigh, currently 55 degrees, no precipitation
today, the same in Derby, a little bit warmer up the Bitterroot Valley, still clear and
no wind. And in the southwest portion of Montana, Anaconda, 43 degrees, clear and calm in Bozeman,
as I mentioned, 41 degrees right now, partly cloudy skies, only a slight amount of precipitation.
Let's take a look at what's been happening around the state all the way through this
evening. As you can see, the temperature is a little bit cooler to the east. Now, the
coolest temperatures occurred in the eastern Montana. They were accompanied by 15 to 30
mile an hour northerly winds. Precipitation was light this afternoon and limited to a
few lingering showers. The 24-hour rainfall totals were more significant and include Red
Lodge with 4200s of an inch and under clearing skies. Most of Montana will experience some
freezing later on this evening. First of all, let's take a look at the west coast satellite.
Those clouds are moving through and bringing a few partly cloudy skies to the southwest
portion of the state, but generally the entire western United States is clear. And the radar
map will give you a little bit better choice. As you can see, absolutely nothing that we
will see right now. Now, if you're going to travel around the region, let's take a look
at what you might be able to say. Salt Lake City is fair and sunny. Now, Denver will be
probably about the worst spot if you want to travel cloudy and 55 degrees. If you want
to head west to the coast, it's going to be another beautiful day in Seattle and in Portland.
A little bit closer to home to the north in the East Coot-Ne Valley, 18 degrees, Spokane
Fair. Salmon and Boise will be generally sunny. Let's take a look at your forecast for the
region. Kalispell tonight, it's going to freeze in Kalispell. No chance of rain by Thursday,
however, it will be up to 74 degrees, so it will be relatively pleasant. And the Missoula
area, not quite freezing tonight. No chance of precipitation all the way through. The
same March, 74 degrees on Thursday. And in the Butte area, 24 tonight, it will freeze
solid in the Butte area. 66 for a high by Thursday, 58 tomorrow. And in Bozeman, the
temperatures will get down a little bit cooler, 26 degrees. Again, no chance of precipitation
and look for a high on Thursday by then of 72 degrees. High, the extended forecast on
into the weekend. Highs in the 70s and 80s, Fridays and Saturday, and then Sunday. Highs
will only, Larry, get into the 50s, so it will be great sailing weather, at least for
the first two days, and then wonderful football weather by Sunday.
Still have the boat in the water, so it's still sailing?
Yeah, another five weeks or so.
Not bad. Hopefully the weather will hold out for you. We're going to come back and talk
about girls basketball. A smattering of games around the region tonight. Stay with us, sports

Jack Lennon, Charles Dernick, Mass Appeal. Saturday at midnight on Channel 6, your news
center. We start our girls' basketball coverage with
a crosstown battle in Butte. Butte Central taking on Butte High. The Bulldogs ranked
fifth in class AA. Heavy favorite. And the Dogs win at 52-30. Nice crowd on hand at Pacific
Center. Second half action. Butte High needed to run the ball and they did. Amy Schenck
with a Danny Sikorski. She nails the jumper. She finished with 13 points. The Maroons will
keep the game closed. Molly Veland unloads from 14. It's good. Maroons down by just 8.
Referee Rick Edwards doing some house cleaning at the Pacific Center. But the Lady Bulldogs
keep their distance. Amy Schenck can't get her shot at the ball. But Cindy Sparks is
there for the bucket. She led all scores with 17. And Butte High goes on to beat crosstown
rival Butte Central, 52-30 again. Butte High ranked fifth in the newest girls' basketball
pool which came out tonight. We'll have a few words on that in just a couple of moments.
In the Bitterroot Valley tonight, Stevensville hosts Missoula Loyola. The hometown Yellow
Jackets win at 71-42. Yeah, the Yellow Jacket on hand to cheer everyone on. Early on, though,
Loyola is looking good. Stacey Broad gets the bounce inside and it is Loyola up by 2.
And off the inbounds play. Carolyn Daly hits Pam Weavers underneath. Her shot is blocked
by Kari Thacker. But Weavers stays with it, puts it up. Loyola leads by 4. Loyola pressed
mostly the first half. We'll look at the textbook example of how to break the press. Kari Thacker
hits. She had 29 points on the night. Amy Nichols had to lay. Excuse me, that was Amy
Nichols with the layup there. Then Stevi starts to break the pressure. Thacker hits Tara Thompson
this time. And it's Stevensville on top by 2. Mixed in with some free throws, Stevi starts
to take over. This time Thacker with the long shot takes it herself and scores again. It
was Kari Thacker with 29. And Stevensville goes on to beat Missoula Loyola. 31, excuse
me, 71-42. Also in girls basketball tonight, the Darby Varsity team goes on the road to
play the Missoula Big Sky Junior Varsity. Darby wins at 50-46. Late first half, Darby
on offense. Wild scramble against the press. But we will finally get the ball to Kristi
Bush. She scores and Darby leads it by 7-25-18. Big Sky comes right back. A good way to beat
the press is with a good cross court pass. Jen McDonald scores. And the Big Sky J.B.
trying to hang in there. But again, the Darby Varsity squad gets the win on the road tonight,
beating the Missoula Big Sky Junior Varsity team by 4-50-46. Also in high school girls
basketball tonight, Hamilton playing at home, beats its Bitterroot Valley rival Corvallis
59-47. And Drummond comes from behind to beat Deer Lodge 50-49. Good game in Deer Lodge
tonight. The Lady Wardens were up by 8 in the fourth quarter. But Drummond comes back
and then holds on for the win as Deer Lodge hit a three pointer at the buzzer. By the
way, the new high school girls basketball poll did come out tonight. Two regional teams
are ranked number one. Flathead is on top of the double A poll. Manhattan Christian
is the number one team in class C. Also ranked number one this week is Browning in class
A, ahead of number two Columbia Falls. Malta is the number one team in class B. The new
high school football poll is due out tomorrow. There is still the potential of a pennant
race in the American League West. The White Sox and Twins still have six games left against
each other. And tonight's second place, Chicago, pulls to within seven games. While Minnesota
was losing, the Tri-Socs shut out Oakland one-zip. High drama tonight in Chicago. First
of all, a pitchers duel. Greg Hibbard making the A's look silly. He K's Jose Canseco. But
Ron Darling doing the same to the Sox. He K's Carlton Fisk. But now for the drama. This
game is scoreless into the eighth. Folks, who breaks up the scoreless pitchers duel?
Yeah, Bo Jackson. His first home run since September 30th of last year. And that was
the only run of the game. White Sox over the A's. One-nothing the finals. Check out all
the baseball scores, first of all, in the American League. Toronto is leading Seattle
in the fourth. The Red Sox over the Orioles. Cleveland beats Detroit. Milwaukee shuts out
the Yankees. As I said, the White Sox with the win over Oakland. While Minnesota lost
to Kansas City. So the White Sox have pulled within seven games. California beats Texas.
National League. The Expos and the Mets split a twin bill. The Phillies over the cards.
The Pirates beat the Cubs. Houston is shutting out San Diego in the sixth. The Dodgers are
shutting out the Reds in the fifth. And San Francisco is on top of Atlanta. That one in
the fourth. The Braves start the day with a slim half game lead over the Dodgers. The
Grizzly football team continues its stay in Louisiana. Montana is getting ready for Saturday's
game against McNeese State. The Grizzlies will spend most of the week working out on
the campus of Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. Despite the ten point loss to
Louisiana Tech last week, it was a strong effort by starting quarterback Brad Lebo.
He threw for more than 330 yards against the 1A Bulldogs.
Yeah, I think it helped a lot with the confidence. I still got to get a lot better than I did
than I was on Saturday night. But I think it helped my confidence. I think it helped
our offensive confidence as a whole unit. I think maybe we're about ready to jell as
an offense. And my guys telling the other guys, we're just anxious to play again. We
want to get out there again real quick. Well, he certainly improved a bunch from his first
game to a second. We expect that. We would expect him to improve a bunch from a second
to his third. Brad is strong and physically proved that in the ball game. He made some
decision mistakes, but not all of them were his fault. We're having some trouble with
the receiver and quarterback interacting. But the big picture in the story is good.
The Grizzlies will practice in Baton Rouge through Thursday, then bus into Lake Charles,
Louisiana, where McNeese State is located on Thursday night. Now, the Grizzlies will
get some R&R tomorrow after practicing tomorrow morning in Baton Rouge. The team will take
the slightly over an hour bus ride into New Orleans. The players and coaches will get
time to browse Bourbon Street tomorrow afternoon. We should mention that the Bobcats have a
big game coming up this weekend against Idaho, and we'll be talking more about that as the
week progresses. Browsing is interesting on Bourbon Street, and you can get into a lot
of trouble if you try. They won't try. Okay, thanks, Larry. We'll be back with more news.

isn't the only place where logging has become controversial. And the coasts of Washington
and Oregon are not the only forests where a bird is making things difficult for those
folks who make their living in the woods. Scott Miller tonight has the story about a
rare critter in Canada that has created problems similar to our own. Much of the coast of Canada's
Vancouver Island looks like this, logged right down to the water's edge. The few valleys
left with virgin forest harbor Canada's tallest trees and an increasingly rare bird called
the marbled murrelet. The murrelet feeds at sea, but nests high in these huge stands of
spruce. This summer, researchers found just the second nest ever on the British Columbia
coast and it sits just a few hundred yards from the root of a proposed logging road.
Rather difficult to be doing research on a species when the habitat is being cut out
from under its feet, quite literally. In the United States, environmentalists can go to
court to save threatened wildlife. And lawsuits have stopped logging on thousands of acres
of federal land. But here in Canada, there is no endangered species act and some frustrated
environmentalists have taken the law into their own hands. You realize that at the present
time you're impeding the loggers from going in? For two months, protesters have been waging
war in the woods, blocking logging roads and getting arrested. Sometimes activists dangle
from trees and the police need cranes to haul them in. Despite the protests, the government
has allowed the logging to continue. Government researchers say Canada still has plenty of
marbled murrelets. It's likely not in imminent danger in the short run from logging. With
the discovery of this new murrelet nest, researchers will appeal to the premier of British Columbia
to stop the cutting and more radical environmentalists will continue their campaign of civil disobedience
beneath the towering trees of Vancouver Island. Scott Miller for NBC News, Victoria, British
Columbia. We'll be back to wrap things up in a moment. Don't go away. If you see news
