Coming up on News San Diego at 11, a victory tonight for two San Diego military installations
that almost fell victim to the Budget Act.
And another reason for celebrating in the military tonight, thousands came home today
from the Gulf.
And assessing the damage should the Governor declare a state of emergency.
And Comedienne Roseanne Barr keeps them laughing in San Diego tonight.
Those stories and more are coming your way right now on News San Diego's Weekend Edition.
From KNSD, this is News San Diego Weekend Edition with Monica Gale, Vic Salazar, Jim
Stone Sports, and Joe Lozora Weather.
Now News San Diego Weekend Edition.
Good evening and thank you for joining us.
The whole idea was to save money but shutting down the Naval Training Center and the Marine
Corps Recruiting Depot would have taken 100 years to pay off.
So today a special commission saved the installations from the Budget Act.
I move that we remove the Marine Corps Recruit Depot of San Diego from consideration for
closer realignment to this commission.
The vote was unanimous.
Although they worried about its proximity to Lindbergh Field, the seven member commission
said MCRD should remain status quo.
This is a premier prestige base for the Marine Corps.
San Diego Marines knew that all along.
Joint Chiefs Chairman Colin Powell knew it too.
He put the base on his list of four facilities he absolutely wants kept open.
It appears the commission heard his message and no one was happier than the Marines.
It's just like watching the Super Bowl.
You know, when you came on, we were really happy.
Congressman Duncan Hunter and Duke Cunningham were on hand at MCRD today when the news came
in.
They drew tense as the commission moved on to the Naval Training Center, also a base
scheduled for review.
The recruit training set up in San Diego, at least as observed by some of us, was not
ideal because it was sort of scattered around the facility.
But the advisor said closing the Naval Recruit Training Center would bring only minor savings.
Once again the news was good.
But the commission warned the Recruit Training Center, or RTC, will get close scrutiny the
next time around.
The congressman said the decision was too close.
And that's not the kind of dramatic moments that Duke and I are looking forward to every
month in San Diego.
So we're going to have to make a real case for RTC, but for now, what great news.
The entire base closure package must be approved by Congress and President Bush.
There is some celebrating in Long Beach tonight, the Naval Shipyard there was also spared.
Some of the shipyard's 4100 workers gathered to await the commission's vote today.
Later they toasted their victory and their jobs with champagne.
The commission however warned the shipyard could be put back on the hit list in 1993.
The Naval Station and Hospital Long Beach however did not make the cut.
The commission voted to close both facilities.
Also scheduled for closure, Fort Ord and Monterey.
The county could lose as many as 25,000 jobs.
After the vote, the commission recommended that Fort Ord 7th Infantry move to Washington
State.
California did suffer one other loss.
The commission also voted to close the Sacramento Army Depot.
Back in San Diego, there are a lot of happy sailors and Marines spending their first night
at home after seven months at sea.
This morning the USS Tarawa made its way into San Diego Bay after a seven month deployment.
Tarawa won five ships to dock at 32nd Street Naval Station today.
The ships are all part of Amphibious Readiness Group 3.
There were the usual hugs and kisses but it was an extra special day for Petty Officer
3rd Class Norman Brown.
He is a Navajo Indian.
Today besides his wife and three children, he was greeted by 34 family members and friends
from Arizona and New Mexico to say the least he was overwhelmed.
It's good to be home.
Thank you for all the people that showed up.
It's good to be home.
The other ships home tonight are the USS Juno, USS Vancouver, USS Barbara County and the
USS Frederick.
They were scheduled to be back about two weeks ago but were diverted to assist with Bangladesh
disaster relief.
Governor Wilson says they need facts and figures on Friday's earthquake near Sierra Madre.
Wilson may declare the area a state of emergency as early as tomorrow.
Today members of the California Conservation Corps went door to door in Sierra Madre urging
residents to evaluate damage to their homes and businesses and call in a report.
This weekend residents started making repairs but some homeowners are now facing more than
a million dollars damage.
The estimated damage to the town could go as high as 20 million.
The state of emergency would make residents eligible for some government loans and tax
breaks.
Farther north investigators tonight are trying to find out why a plane crashed killing all
six people on board.
It happened in the mountains near Jackson Southeast of Sacramento.
The twin engine Beach Queen airplane was headed to Lake Tahoe for a pleasure trip from the
Modesto airport when it crashed into a mountainside and burst into flames.
The pilot was using visual flight rules and was not in contact with the tower just before
the accident.
Monica, a sad story from La Mesa tonight.
A five month old baby boy has died after he had been left in a car for about three hours.
The circumstances surrounding the child's death are still not clear to eye but La Mesa
police say they responded to a report of an infant left in a vehicle when they arrived
they found that the baby had just been removed from the car and that the child had stopped
breathing.
The baby was later pronounced dead at Alvarado hospital.
Police say they need to have more questions answered before deciding if they'll pursue
criminal charges against the foster parents who were caring for the baby at the time of
his death.
There is an interesting twist tonight to the story of this fatal accident on interstate
805 near Adams Avenue.
It seems that after this car flipped over three of the people who had been in the vehicle
fled the scene.
Police say a female motorist watched them and then called 911 on a cell phone.
Because of that officers were able to locate the three males on a city bus they were taken
into custody.
The car that crashed had been reported stolen.
The name of the person who was killed has not been released.
A power outage in Claremont has left more than 1,600 people in the dark tonight.
In Bay Park, University Heights, and Claremont have been affected by the blackout.
San Diego Gas and Electric is on the scene and hopes to restore power as soon as possible.
No word on what caused the blackout.
Well still ahead on New San Diego, the gay community makes another statement in parades
across the country.
And if you read the book Dying Young, you're in for a surprise when you see the movie.
It was a day of firsts at Wimbledon, but the single story here at home for the Padres,
I'll have all the sports coming up.
The temperature is going up, way up across the county.
I'll tell you why when we come back.
Midas stocks the right brake parts for practically every foreign car, and uses Midas trained
experts to install them.
Nobody beats Midas, nobody.

announcement will be made tomorrow among the possibilities US circuit judge Emilio Garza
of San Antonio another administration official says Garza spent several hours at the Justice
Department in Washington yesterday being interviewed. The deadline has passed and Yugoslavia is
no longer closer to averting a civil war. A Yugoslavian ultimatum to accept a ceasefire
is being met with defiance in Slovenia today. Whales of air raid sirens fill the air amid
reports the Federal Army was about to launch a bombing raid. Slovenian soldiers are on
an all out search for hiding federal troops. The current crisis has erupted after months
of ethnic and political feuding between leaders of the nation's six republics over the future
of the nation. Here in San Diego members of the Serbian Orthodox Church tell of the resentment
over oppression caused by the communist rule but they say if the republic falls apart they
doubt the small ones will survive. I think the best thing will be really if all of them
sit down, they talk and all of them admit to their mistakes, their shortcomings and
find a way how to live together. Slovenian television reports the Federal Army has agreed
to withdraw but no details were given. A man from Croatia was also elected to head the
collective presidency in hopes of averting an all out civil war. Here in California it's
turning out to be a long night for state lawmakers. They are meeting at this hour in an effort
to tie the last strings on a budget balancing package. Earlier tonight the Senate approved
a bill limiting renters tax credits and tax deductions for the wealthy. The Senate also
approved a 4.4 percent cut in state welfare grants. Altogether the Senate and the Assembly
had at least 28 budget related bills to consider on today's agenda. They are expected to continue
meeting into early tomorrow. If you ride the trolley or a bus be prepared to pay more for
your ride tomorrow. Fairs are going up at midnight. Trolley riders will see an increase
of a quarter for most one way trips however trolley fares within the downtown area or
between two stations will stay at 50 cents. Most bus fares will be raised by a quarter
except in the North County where they will go up by a nickel. The Metropolitan Transit
Board says it's the first time in four years that fares have been raised. It says it was
forced to do so because it's facing a six million dollar deficit for the new fiscal
year which begins tomorrow. It was freedom day for gay and lesbians around the United
States today. In San Francisco more than a quarter of a million people turned out in
support to watch the parade. Ten thousand participants marched down 5th street. The
parade was complete with marchers, baton twirlers, a convoy of women motorcyclists and men dressed
in Victorian dresses. San Francisco's mayor and police chief attended the event which
is the parade's 22nd year. In whose news tonight Roseanne Barr. She won a dubious honor that
of winning the sitting duck award. It is given out to whomever is seen as the easiest target
of criticism. The National Society of Newspaper columnists gave out the award saying the comedian
beat out Dan Quayle and Saddam Hussein. As the president of the society said when you
have a hundred and seventy five people shooting a fish in a barrel the biggest target is going
to take a lot of hits. The society wanted to invite Roseanne to the ceremony but couldn't
reach her. We know where she is however she is in San Diego performing at Humphreys. We'll
show you that a little bit later on in the newscast. Well they say the book is always
better than the movie but in the case of the book called Dying Young it's completely different
from the movie. In the film actress Julia Roberts plays the role of a nurse and lover
to a leukemia patient played by Campbell Scott. That basic scenario stays the same but everything
else is different. Even the name was almost changed because 20th Century Fox thought it
was too depressing. They considered cheerier names like terminal love and undying love.
But the book's name stuck even if the rest of the plot didn't. The Padres are licking
their wounds tonight after finding another way to lose in front of the hometown sand.
And quick put the kids to bed because you are not going to believe what happens to this
car after it gets done spinning around in circles. I've got two identical shopping
lists of 100 items randomly selected by computer. Jean is taking his list to Ralph's and Alma
is taking hers to Lucky. They're back. Jean how much did you spend at Ralph's? I spent
$266.22 Larry. Uh huh. And how old am I at Lucky? $247.39. Oh that's like over $18 less.
There's more to buying a Mercedes than just a car. She loved the 300 so we did the trade
and put her in the silver one in the afternoon. I love it. I mean how are they going to treat
me after I buy the car? And I told her how easy routine maintenance was. One Sunday night
we're on our way home. Yeah flat tires. I call the 800 number. The roadside assistance
guy comes out, puts on the spare, no charge. I could have kissed him. Only at your authorized
San Diego County Mercedes Benz dealers. Why does Jerome sell more furniture than anyone
in San Diego? Is it because we've been in business for over 30 years? Is it because
we offer the largest selection? Is it because we guarantee everything we sell? Is it because
we offer a double the difference price guarantee or are we just lucky? I think it's all of
those things and a little luck doesn't hurt. So if you haven't shopped Jerome's I'd like
you to ask yourself this question. Why does Jerome sell more furniture than anyone in
San Diego? The news station you're watching won 35 Emmys this year. KNSD. KNSD. KNSD.
More than all the others combined. KNSD. Outstanding news station. New San Diego KNSD. When you
get the news, get the best and get it straight. Congratulations. New San Diego KNSD.
Tim Stone off this weekend winning Southwicks sitting in. Really no surprise out of the
stadium. You know if I was public fans I don't think I'd let me come back and do this anymore
because when I do this they don't do too well do they? What is it about the Padres? When
they hit home this year they don't just lose ball games they self-destruct. Today a perfect
example of 6-2. They not only blow the lead they lose to the Giants in 10 innings the final
8-7. Kevin Mitchell, well he made his presence known as he always does when he comes to town.
This is Mitchell's fifth home run this season against Padres pitching. He faced Andy Bennett
13 times in his career and home was four of them. How ugly was this game? Watch this coming
up. Will Clark will single the right. Tony Gwynn of course he grabs the ball and drills
it to third base. A nice shot. Scott Kuba lets the ball get away. Anderson backs up to
play like he should but then he'll throw home and the ball ends up in the pod. They dug
out. Clark will blast his way around and he'll come across the plate to score. The Padres
were still in this one late in the contest. They're up by a run here. Make that two thanks
to Darren Jackson's second home run of the game. That'll make the score 7-5. Padres going
into the ninth inning but the Giants they're not through. They'll score twice off former
reliever or their former reliever, Craig Laffer. Here Tony Pericica finds the gap. Trevor
Wolfson comes around to score. That ties the game at 7 of keys at the end of the ninth
inning. Moving to the tenth it is Clark once again with the heroics. The single scores
and the Giants. Podsmuk empty in their half the inning. San Francisco walks off with it
8 to 7. Atlanta plays the ugly ball of its own tonight. Dodgers Alfredo Griffith the
high bouncer but worse Terry Pendleton throwing it. Ball ends up way out the right field.
Harris will score on that throw. Then Griffith comes around when the Pag home also goes astray.
Finally tracks the ball down. Throws it into the plate. He's going to try for the plate
and he's going to score. I don't know how many errors we're going to have on this play.
That's easy. The answer? Two errors. Dodgers win it easy 11 to 4. On the scoreboard the
ugly fact San Diego loses 2 of 3 to the Giants. Tuesday those Dodgers come to town. Elsewhere
around the league a great comeback by the Cubs today. A wriggly down 4-1 to the cards.
Dwight Smith ties it right there. One swing at a bat. A free run shot. And from the what
now department. Well check it out. Todd Zeo slides past the bag on the attempted steal.
There goes Zeo overzealous of course. John Dunstan all he can say is come and get it.
Talk about getting caught with your plate down. Back to the numbers. It's the Cubs over
St. Louis. The Bucks slip past Montreal. Philly outlasts the Mets thanks to three home runs
in the fifth by Philadelphia. Dwight Gooden no less. And the Reds end Houston by a run.
Take a look at this. Jeff Bagwell singles to right. Scores one run. But watch what happens
when Eric Yelding tries to stretch it home. Paul O'Neill's perfect strike. Beats him
to the plate. The result a lot of hurt for catcher Jeff Reed. Reed did manage to hang
on to the ball for the out. However toughest outs he'll ever make at Wage It. Texas and
California battled it out in a close one today up in Anaheim. Rangers end up winning it 2
to 1. One of the Ranger runs comes right here on the blue single off the bat of Dean Palmer.
Will this year will come around safely to score. Jose Guzman in control all the way
for Texas. Gives up only two hits. Goes the distance. One of those hits however, well
it's a biggie. Dave Winfield says aloha to his 16th home run of the season. Winfield
having a great year for Sacrifice California isn't he? Angels just two backs of the twins.
Around the American League it is California over Texas. Detroit completes the weekend
sweep for the lowly Indians. Baltimore beats Boston when Carlos Quintana drops a simple
fly ball allows two runs to score. Toronto outguns Seattle. It's the twins winning their
22nd game of the month against only six losses. The Yanks score six in the seventh to make
a comeback and Oakland edges KC on a come-sake-o bomb coming up right here. There's Jose with
a win-style custom chase and he gets all of this one. A three run shot enough to out score
the Royals 3-2. Mike Gallego well he'll chip in with some great defense coming up right
here. Goes back behind second base and robs Mike McFarlane of an RBI base hit. Dennis
Eckersley he gets his 22nd favorite of the season when Konseka will come in for the final
out. It was a first in the long eloquent history of Wimbledon. Never had so many of the common
folks have been given the chance to see just what goes on behind the hallowed walls of
the historic all England tennis lawn club. But when rain cost so many delays earlier
this week well officials had no choice. They were forced to schedule play on this the middle
Sunday of the tournament and it's usually a day off. So when tickets go on sale yesterday
well it's not for Rick and the Royal lining up for those tickets. You see regular folks
and look how they respond. Loud soccer fan like Sheeran and even a wave or two. They
got to see some great tennis too. Here top team Stefan Edberg serving for the match.
And he still Von Rensburg in straight set. Yvonne Lendl well he had a tougher time of
it with American Malawi Washington. He comes from two sets down and ends up winning the
final point in the fifth and final set. All right we're gonna go to the race video now.
OK. Can you get that to me Lou? You can't. Well let's go this way and I'll find it. OK.
Come on Lou. Thank you very much. Saved by Monica and finally from the world of auto
racing. Juan Manuel Fonjo won the race today but what happens right here? Lanchayeta Tom
Kendall loses the wheel ends up smacking right into the wall the car totally self destructs.
Kendall he doesn't. He actually doesn't walk away from this thing. He's carried off with
his father's face. He's happy to still be alive. He does end up with a couple of broken
legs but he survives and he will be back to race again. All right and it's always nice
to show what we tease so thanks for getting that story in. You bet. All right thanks Whitney.
Well up next Jill Lizerlet are back to work week forecast. So I drive the car the Mercedes.
The more I drive it the more I think I really do want this car. I think she liked that 190

on a new Monday at three right here on KNSD. Discover the daily difference. Five special
reports each week that will make a difference in your life. The daily difference only on
NBC 90 news with Don Brogan. They're here to talk about the forecast and the Grunion
run. It's going on in about ten minutes to a beach near you. That's right if you want
to see the Grunnions along the coastline between eleven thirty five and one thirty five overnight
tonight about the same hours again for tomorrow and they run at periodic times all throughout
the summer so we'll keep you updated. Now that we have the chart that says exactly when
they run we're right on top of things. Speaking of being on top of things we're on top of
a brand new month starting tomorrow July. Let me show you what a normal July is here
in San Diego. Normally only point oh one inches of rainfall. That's terrible but we have had
a lot at one point eighteen sixty five back in the Civil War one point two nine inches of rainfall. The wind well normally on a windy day fifteen miles an hour will do it. The windiest it's ever been was thirty miles an hour for the whole month of July. That was in nineteen twenty five. That's hard to believe. Record high one hundred and nineteen thirty and record low. Well you saw right there was fifty four degrees. So it looks like it's going to be just a perfect month. That's great. Okay let's go outside right now. How every month in July I mean
in San Diego is perfect if you ask me sixty two degrees of the temperature. But then again I grew up in New Jersey seventy three the high sixty two the low that's the current temperature eighty seven percent for humidity were rising on the barometer and our wind is out of the west at eight miles an hour. Well the surf two to three feet that's up a little bit over yesterday. Water temperature sixty six. The visibility for divers is twenty five feet. Of course the Del Mar fair off the full swing right there behind me with all those lights look like Las Vegas back there. Okay let's talk about what's happening around the nation.
Boy I'll tell you the severe weather going on right now in the Midwest North Dakota South Dakota parts of Kansas and Nebraska severe thunderstorms heavy rain over Florida today some places two to three inches worth of rain and temperatures that were in the 90s in New England are slowly giving way to the 60s.
And of course that means severe thunderstorms there too. But watch this area is the worst over the Dakotas. Here's the latest radar picture. Take a look going through Minnesota now actually down into Kansas and Nebraska.
This area tornado watches are out severe thunderstorms all night tonight. We'll have to watch that area. Well our county temperatures say we're beautiful highs in most areas mid 70s to the mid 80s tack on five degrees for tomorrow in most areas which will take you from the upper 70s to the upper 80s.
Step in Bray go 110 for tomorrow. Hot high pressure building in the storm track is still real active but all the storms are going up to the north high pressures building in sunny and warmer weather for the next couple of days. So enjoy it.
So the forecast a little bit of morning haze as opposed to the marine layer along the coast then sunny 78 coastal 89 inland in the mountains pretty warm there to 87 degrees. The deserts take the cake 110 degrees. I'll bet you that either Bray go or Palm Springs takes the high temperature for the nation tomorrow.
Sunshine Tuesday and Wednesday still keeping up that warming trend Thursday the marine layer makes a return again. There's some tropical moisture over Mexico we're going to have to watch. Hopefully for now it will face out.
Thanks Joe. San Diego's infamous national anthem singer actress Comedienne Roseanne Barr was in town. Barr with her fast and witty remarks left her audience laughing tonight at Humphreys on Shelter Island.
Barr dressed in black dress and Pearl told the audience about the changes in her life since becoming a star. And I don't know they're not like any parties I ever was at. It's real weird because I spent the first hour wandering around this big old house looking for the keg.
And yeah so I go up to the holster holster whatever I go hey you know where's the keg man. Well Roseanne there is no keg. Whoa you're out of beer already huh.
Barr's husband Tom Arnold also took part in tonight's show. Just wouldn't be a weekend newscast if we didn't have at least one Roseanne Barr story in our show. Tonight we had two you got your money's worth. Good night.
