If you haven't found one yet, keep looking.
This is Kyma News at 11 with Tara Thomas, Alan Sillent Sports and Stu Seibel Weather.
Good evening, thanks for joining us.
Three Yakima teens were hit by gunfire in a drive-by shooting late this afternoon.
Police say shortly after four, two cars were chasing each other and shots were fired from
one of the vehicles at the intersection of East Walnut and South Seventh Street.
Two 18-year-old Hispanic males suffered gunshot wounds in the face.
A 16-year-old white female was shot in the arm.
Police say two of the victims were hit when they got out of the car.
All three were treated at local hospitals.
No word on their conditions.
Police have located the vehicles involved.
Witnesses say a total of 11 people were riding in the cars at the time.
So far, no names have been released as that investigation continues.
While calling it risky to go to trial, prosecutors today offered a killer a reduced sentence
in Yakima County Superior Court.
Judge James Hutton sentenced 20-year-old Rodolfo Padilla to more than five years in prison
for his role in a fatal shooting in northeast Yakima.
Padilla shot and killed 27-year-old David Garcia in what prosecutors call a drug deal
gone bad.
The plea agreement diminished the charge from second-degree murder to second-degree manslaughter.
Padilla was sentenced to 63 months, the high end of the standard sentencing range.
There was a self-defense issue involved.
Padilla is pointing a 9-millimeter at Garcia, and Garcia is pointing a.32 caliber at Padilla.
We had no independent witnesses.
We had Garcia's story as to what happened.
The case against Aurelio Nunes, the alleged driver of a car that left the scene, was dismissed
in March.
North Count says there wasn't enough evidence to keep that case alive.
Sunnyside police have arrested three males for robbing a convenience store.
Early this morning, witnesses say two males came into the Valley View Market on First
and Lincoln.
One suspect pulled a large knife on a clerk who had started to call police.
The suspects left the store with about $25 worth of liquor.
They fled in a car driven by a third suspect waiting out front.
All three were eventually arrested.
15-year-old Luis Garcia Juarez and 17-year-old Pedro Balthazar are being held in the Yakima
Juvenile Detention Center.
19-year-old Rigoberto Alvarez is being held in the Sunnyside jail.
The vehicle and knife have also been recovered.
A Walla Walla teenager convicted in the murders of her adoptive parents will spend the next
40 years behind bars.
16-year-old Star Lake was convicted in March of two counts of second-degree murder for
orchestrating the slayings of Lester and Velma Lake in their rural Walla Walla County home.
Lake denied involvement in those killings, saying she was asleep in a downstairs room
when the lakes were shot and killed in their beds upstairs.
Her former boyfriend, 17-year-old Michael Janssen, earlier pleaded guilty to being the
trigger man and was sentenced to more than 27 years in prison.
Well up next, we'll have Stu's weather and a rollover sends a local teen to the hospital.
Plus, amazingly, a runaway ice cream truck didn't send anyone to the hospital.
Those stories and, of course, Stu's forecast.
After this, stay with us.
This is Imagine TV.

Definitely some sun, but we've gotten some rain thrown in the mix.
Well, yeah, you know, it was sunny today.
It must have been a Monday, right?
That's right.
Boy, the weekend, that low pressure system really slow to move out, leaving us with the
gray and a little bit of light rain.
And now we have another one of those low pressure systems coming in out of the Pacific, not
as strong as the one that hit over the weekend, though.
But it's going to be following the same path and we'll start to see the effects of it later
tomorrow night and Wednesday.
Right now, 50 degrees in Yakima, 50 in Ellensburg, 57 in Toppenish, 54 at Sunnyside, 55 degrees
at Grandview.
Around the central Washington area, readings are all up there in the 50s.
Still a 59 degrees at the Dalles, also 59 degrees at Wenatchee, the Tri-Cities with
53.
Generally, fair skies, although we are picking up some partly cloudy skies around the blues
on into the central part of Oregon.
They're even picking up a little bit of light rain.
The west slopes of the Oregon Cascades and then into northern California, all the result
of this massive clouds off the coast.
That's the upper level low that's going to be affecting us later tomorrow night and Wednesday.
It's taking the same track as its predecessor did, moving toward the southern coast of
Oregon and northern California, then expected to push on inland.
And that puts it into a position to give us a pretty good flow of moisture coming up from
the south.
We're going to start to see some increasing clouds later on tomorrow afternoon.
And then a 60 percent chance of rain.
That puts it in the rain likely category for tomorrow night as well as Wednesday.
Doesn't look like a lot of rain with this system, but light rain at times to be expected.
By Thursday, that upper level low moves out.
Then Friday, Saturday and Sunday should be partly cloudy.
Only a chance for an afternoon shower or a thundershower and high temperatures for a
change should be up there in the 70s.
About normal if we're lucky.
Mostly clear tonight.
Cool again overnight, low temperature around 35 degrees.
For tomorrow it'll be partly cloudy and a little bit warmer at noon 51 and at 8 51 at
noon 68.
The high temperature tomorrow hitting 72, but with a few increasing clouds in the afternoon.
Rain likely tomorrow night with a low temperature of 38 degrees.
Rain likely on Wednesday.
High temperature in the mid 60s.
Thursday, Friday and Saturday partly cloudy.
Only a slight chance of a shower highs in the 70s.
Our pollen forecast, our frost forecast for tonight from Clear West Ag Weather Services
expecting to be above freezing at all the agriculture reporting stations around the
valley.
Some of the cold spots though may be dropping down by early tomorrow morning in the range
of about 32 to 35 degrees.
It would be possible.
The inversion for tonight would be moderate and in some of those cooler spots, some isolated
light protection could possibly be needed early tomorrow morning in the coldest spots.
But otherwise overnight lows should be around 35, 40 degrees or so.
Okay, summer's not quite here yet.
Not quite yet.
Give it around the 4th of July I think, Kara.
Alright, thanks Stu.
Well a car accident this morning has left no one seriously injured but is still under
investigation tonight.
Police responded to a one vehicle rollover about 8 30 on Outlook Road in Sunnyside.
26 year old Michelle Talbert backed out of a driveway into the path of 16 year old Richard
Romero.
Romero swerved to avoid hitting Talbert, lost control and went into the ditch rolling his
vehicle.
His passenger 16 year old Eric Rosales was treated for minor injuries.
All three were wearing seat belts.
Well instead of the faint childlike tune that usually accompanies an ice cream truck, today
it was loud crashing and shattering glass in the case of the missing truck driver.
Portland police and rescue units responded to a report that an ice cream truck rolled
into some other vehicles.
Even more interesting, the ice cream truck had no driver.
The truck rolled backward from the front of a grocery store across a four lane highway,
hit an abutment, turned around, then slammed into some parked cars.
As you see here, it caused quite a mess.
No word on the driver's whereabouts.
Fortunately there were no injuries.
General Motors has been ordered to pay 33 million dollars in damages to the Florida
family of 13 year old Shane McGee who burned to death in a 1991 gas tank fire.
A jury in Hollywood, Florida agreed with allegations by Robert and Constance McGee.
The lack of a shield to protect the gas tank on their 1983 Oldsmobile Cutlass station wagon
was at least partially to blame for the severity of this accident.
Now this home video caught it on tape.
The McGees were on vacation in Virginia when a trailer broke loose from a pickup truck
and the tongue slid under the station wagon puncturing the gas tank.
Shane's cousin also died in the fire.
His parents and sister suffered extensive burns.
You've heard the message before, but now you'll be paying the price if you don't take action.
Police departments from coast to coast want to make sure children are always buckled up
when on the road.
They're spreading the word about seatbelt safety this week, but after that you can expect
to start being sighted.
Jonathan Fried has the story.
You'd think it would be the biggest no brainer of them all.
Your child's in the car, so make sure their seatbelt is set.
Ask this Los Angeles dad.
The car does not start without all the belts being on, ever.
But the tragic truth is that the numbers are enough to make you cringe.
Car crashes are the leading cause of death for children under 15, and four out of ten
kids are not wearing seatbelts.
60% of kids who die in auto accidents are not buckled up.
That's why authorities everywhere are now cracking down on adults who don't take care
of their precious cargo.
Over half of the children would be alive today if the drivers had only taken those crucial
moments, the care and the personal responsibility to buckle them up.
It's a campaign joined by some 4,000 police departments across the country.
Checkpoints are being set up this week, mostly about raising awareness, but the overall plan
is to step up enforcement of state laws that require you to put seatbelts on your kids.
This buckling mom says she knows what to do with neglectful grownups.
This is a non-negotiable thing, and anybody who doesn't belt up their kids should be
ticketed, they should be cited, and they should be held accountable.
Now the authorities say that when it comes to placing a car seat, that the safest place
in most of today's cars is in the back seat, properly secured.
That's because up front, there's a potential danger from airbags.
Jonathan Fried, CBS News, Los Angeles.
The numbers are going up from Operation Casablanca.
Federal officials say they've arrested more than 130 people in their biggest drug money
laundering case ever.
More arrests are on the way.
They're expecting to arrest a total of more than 180 people.
Agents have already seized $35 million and are targeting another 122 million sitting
in U.S. and foreign bank accounts.
The three-year investigation marks the first time Mexican banks and their officials have
been linked directly to laundering profits for drug cartels.
Tonight doctors are calling him a miracle baby because of what he's been through.
A jogger found this newborn buried in a shallow grave near Pasadena, California.
There he is.
Police believe the baby's mother left him there to die.
A hospital spokesman says the baby was in critical condition when he arrived at the
hospital, but has since improved.
He's expected to remain there for seven to ten days before being turned over to county
child welfare authorities.
Police are still trying to locate the child's mother.
The federal government and 20 states have joined forces to charge Microsoft with having
an illegal monopoly on internet browsing software.
Lee Cowen reports on those suits announced today.
In this point-and-click world of computers, antitrust lawsuits could effectively control
alt-delete Microsoft's ability to market its new product.
The Justice Department has charged Microsoft with engaging in anti-competitive and exclusionary
practices designed to maintain its monopoly in personal computer operating systems and
attempting to extend that monopoly to internet browser software.
In short, the Justice Department says Microsoft is using its Windows 98 to unfairly crush
its competition.
And some 20 other states and the District of Columbia seem to agree, filing their own
separate antitrust suit against the industry giant.
The objective here, really in two words, very simply is real choice.
Windows 98 is designed with its own web browser, a computer's access to the internet.
But Windows is the operating system on some 90 percent of the nation's personal computers.
That first screen we see is like a giant advertisement.
And although, as Microsoft pointed out, there's a wide variety among PC companies as to how
that first screen is configured, the question still becomes how do other web browser companies
ever have a chance to appear there too?
Suddenly it does it all for you.
You don't have the incentive to go out.
What's my incentive to go out and buy all those other products?
Microsoft's chairman and CEO, Bill Gates, says the government should stay out of the high
tech world of computers unless it knows what it's talking about.
They have the facts wrong.
Large numbers of users today easily choose whatever browser they want.
Microsoft could still avoid the lawsuits by agreeing to sell its browser separately or
by allowing its closest competitor to advertise its product on that first screen.
That in the words of Bill Gates would be...
Like requiring Coca-Cola to include three cans of Pepsi in every six-pack it sells.
The battle between government and private industry is certainly nothing new.
But this battle is shaping up to be not only one of the biggest, but perhaps one of the
longest.
Any trust suits are known for taking years to resolve themselves and in the computer
business even one year can be a lifetime.
Lee Cowan, CBS News, Washington.
An overflow crowd at a New Jersey church serenaded Frank Sinatra by singing one of his signature
songs.
The crowd of about 800 gathered in Hoboken where Sinatra was baptized in 1915.
They sang My Way during a memorial mass for the city's favorite son.
Hoboken's mayor says Sinatra epitomized the American dream for all the town's residents
rising from humble beginnings to world-renowned.
Sinatra died last week of a heart attack.
He was 82.
The singer once called Hoboken, quote, a sewer and rarely visited.
And I've been listening to Frank.
I have a tape that I've been listening to.
I like Frank very much.
Well, Lakers.
Whatever happened to that shack attack that whacked the Sonics?
Who knows?
On vacation, I guess, highlights from L.A. and Utah plus Ken Griffey Jr.
He whacks another long ball.
And another title for a team from Yakima after the timeout.
My color red.
I love this car.
Now I'll get zero void nine APR on a Chevy Blazer.

It's a great time to get a great buy on a Chevy Suburban.
Choose from one of the biggest selections of Suburbans ever.
Buying my Suburban was very easy.
We're talking Memorial Day savings at your Chevrolet dealers northwest.
Can I say something?
Hey, Alto, you've got to check this out.
We're talking Chevrolet.
The noise and commotion of the election is almost over.
I want to thank you for all your strong support for term limits on Congress.
And I want to personally thank Perry Atkinson and the others for signing the term limits
declaration.
Greg Walden has not signed the term limits pledge.
Please keep after him to sign.
And if you see Perry Atkinson, thank him for supporting the families of Oregon by signing
the term limits pledge.
He has committed to be a true citizen legislator.
That's the only way to limit Congress.

Welcome back. The way the Lakers walked all over Seattle. Do you think the Jazz would be the next
stepping stones on the way to the finals for Shaq and company? Not so. So far for L.A. Shaquille
O'Neill with 31 tonight. Lakers leading early. Jazz running right behind not letting L.A. get too
much of a lead. How about this now? The flying Kobe. L.A. still on top looking to square the
series at one. But 35-year-old Carl Malone would score 33 and 37-year-old John Stockton 22. As the
old timers come back to shut down the young upstarts from California for a second straight time,
Utah holds court. It's 0-2 for the Lakers heading home now. That's for game three on Friday.
Sonics enjoying the rest of the playoffs in their easy chairs at home. Gary Payton, third in the
NBA MVP balloting. The league's most valuable player. The best player on the planet, Michael
Jordan. It's the fifth time for the Soaring Bull who led the NBA in scoring with 29 a game. Jordan
out pointing Mr. Malone for that trophy. I go into the season trying to win MVP. I go into the
season trying to make sure you guys don't have any loopholes or any criticism about my basketball
skills. And at the end of the season if it equates to individual accolade then you know I'm happy for
that. But as you know the ultimate goal for me right now is to win the sixth championship.
Jordan and the Bulls lead their conference final series of the Pacers 1-2-0. Mariners have bedded
down for the night awaiting their first huge series of the season deep in the heart of Texas. First,
Lew's crew finishing up a little business north of the board. John Marzano loving this Victoria Day
afternoon affair in Toronto. Marzi long, not quite gone, but good enough for a 2 RBI triple in the
second. 2-0 Seattle. Then, 4-0 Zip. Same inning. Alex Rodriguez blasts the rocket Roger Clemens
with a double down the line. The M's rolling. Bang. Ken Griffey Jr. exploded. Tying Alex for
the league lead in home runs with his 16th. But give the game ball to Marzano, the guy who loves
to be on the highlight tape getting his 15 seconds of fame tonight. Almost another triple in the fifth.
He had four RBIs. Seattle wins big. Tomorrow it gets bigger. The big unit on the mound at Division
leading Texas. The Yakima connection will lead the Husky charge into the NCAA baseball tournament
later this week. After Ike Grad Ed Erickson and West Valley All-American Chris McGruder,
along with Davis High's Pete Orgill helped dispose of top ranked Stanford in the Pac-10 championships,
the Huskies began packing for the big show. Washington will open NCAA play on Thursday at
Texas A&M against an old familiar postseason foe. Mississippi State. The Bulldogs. Seated fourth.
The Udub Dogs. Third. The Big Nine golf titles on the line today in the Tri-Cities.
Congratulations to Eisenhower's Paige McKenzie, a low score 76. The Cadet girls finish third.
Walla Walla first. Look out the squirrels. They're in the way for the boys competition.
Sean Harrell from Richland, the first round leader with a birdie putt. He is going to state.
The Eisenhower boys making their mark. Cadet John Correa knocks it in. Ike takes first.
Two better than Wenatchee. Richland is third. A perfect way to finish off the night with a
perfect finish to the weekend for Yankee David Wells, the pinstripe pitcher. Yankee David Wells,
the pinstripe pitcher, did not allow one Minnesota batter to reach base throwing only the second
perfect game in Yankees history on Sunday in the Bronx. Tonight, Wells making a stop in Manhattan
on Dave Letterman's show. This is when baseball's a lot of fun when stuff like this happens, isn't it?
It's very nerve-racking. Yeah, because you just never know. It could happen, you know, 162 regular
season games. It could happen and it happened for you yesterday. Are you sore from this? Nervous.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Soreness hasn't hit yet. Tomorrow I'll be sore. A little bit sore. It's very nerve-racking.
Nerves right there. More of Dave and Dave coming up. Oh yeah, doesn't get any better than that. That's crazy.
Wow. Still to come on Climate News at 11, just how do those emergency dispatchers keep their cool?
We'll take a look and if your riding looks like chicken scratch, you're not alone.

The new Legends Casino in Toppenish is proud to join KIMATV in saluting the Yakima nation
on their spirit of leadership throughout the Yakima Valley, including their latest accomplishments.
We've all seen it on shows like Rescue 911, call takers guiding people through desperate situations,
but few of us know how emergency personnel keep their cool in these types of events.
Kymas Craig Galbraith explains. What are you reporting? Have you ever wondered how one call
taker can be prepared to handle so many different emergencies? It's called emergency medical
dispatch, and it's an integral part of 911. It's a way to keep people safe. It's a way to
keep people safe. It's an integral part of 911. Yakima County has had the system for about four
years. It saved many a life and guided personnel through many risky situations. What they developed
was a flip chart that by nature of the questions lead you on to the next logical step in providing
that assistance. We got a call in and an individual said he's on the way to Toppenish hospital. His
wife's having a baby and he had to stop the car because she was having the baby and we transferred
to call down to Fire District 5 and the time they got the call and the time I took it back to start
the EMD, we had a baby on our hands. This is Emergency Medical Services Week in Yakima County
and Washington State recognizing those who serve in the EMS field. 911 Director Wayne Wantland
hopes using the EMD system will lead his crew to a tiered response system which should keep
unnecessary resources from going to the simplest of emergency calls. What that provides for us is
a better allocation of our resources which are limited in both the fire and the ambulance area
and also it provides a little safety factor for the other part of the public out there because
you don't have these units going all over town in emergency mode if they don't have to be.
In Yakima, I'm Craig Galbreath reporting. Yakima City officials haven't decided whether to look
outside the fire department in its search for a new fire chief. City Manager Dick Zay says they're
not sure whether they'll promote someone within the department or advertise outside. The fire
department has been without a leader since Al Chronister retired last month after serving
as chief for four years. He left for the fire chief position at Washington State University in
Pullman. Chronister had been with the Yakima Fire Department for 22 years. Officials expect to make
a decision on the search in a month. The recent education reforms have created a great deal of
talk in the schools about reading, writing, and math. But what about handwriting? Teachers say
students handwriting skills have been declining over the years. In part one of Scribble Mania,
Kymah's Kylie Sign asked the questions, is handwriting getting worse and if so why?
Classrooms have continually changed over the years especially with the advent of technology.
It wasn't that long ago when computers were used by only a select few,
but now they appear in schools across the world. As a result more students are leaning on their
computers to spit out their homework rather than using their handwriting skills. Teachers say this
may be one reason why some students handwriting is just plain bad. You can talk to college
professors or high school teachers or grade school or middle school teachers and there are those that
you pull your head out and pull your hair and just say oh my goodness you know how did how did this
student do this. Students say computers play a part in bad handwriting but apathy is also a factor.
If I can read my own handwriting that's okay with me. My mom can read it and
while she can read it and my teachers can read it I don't really care. They're not always going to be
the one that is reading what they write. Yes they can read it, yes they understand what they have said,
but when you fill out applications, when you're writing essays to get into college,
when you are writing answers on these state assessment tests for the benchmarks and essential
learnings, people who don't know these people are assessing them, reading them and evaluating them
so they have to be easily readable by anyone and everyone. People don't really care. Teachers say
the trick is making these kids care. Young people today need to express themselves in the best
possible way if I had to make one summary sentence. That's it. In Zilla, I'm Kylie Sund reporting.
Now tomorrow in part two of Scribble Mania we'll find out what schools are doing to help students
improve their handwriting. Up next on Kama News at 11, Stu has the latest on weather conditions
and it's the anniversary of an event you'll never forget. Stay tuned.

Well, still a chill in the air overnight. Oh yeah, that's right. Down to about 35 in some of the cool
spots in the valley for tonight. Expecting a low in Yakima around 35 degrees. Otherwise, it'll be
mostly clear. Tomorrow, partly cloudy, a little bit warmer, 51 degrees today. Noon 68, the high
temperature tomorrow, 72. See some increasing clouds though later in the afternoon. That clears
the way for rain likely, a 60 percent chance of it coming in tomorrow night and Wednesday. Low
temperature tomorrow night near 35. Outside now it's 50. We have fair skies, winds westerly at 7.
The high temperature today 68, low this morning 33. And around the area now temperatures are all
up there in the 50s. Headed for lows around 35 in town. Oh okay, thanks Stu. Well today marks the
18th anniversary of the explosion of Mount St. Helens. The blast rocked the Northwest, killing 62
people and blanketing the region with a thick layer of ash. The northern face of the mountain
exploded away, removing 1300 feet from the peak and turning the landscape into a scene of devastation
with trees knocked over like toothpicks. It took a massive cleanup after the eruption to reopen
central Washington communities. Yakima, Moses Lake, and Ritzville were blanketed with several
inches of ash, closing schools, businesses, and government services. The question, Stu, where were
you when the eruption happened? Hiding. Ellen? In Yakima, shooting video. Well I was in Illinois.
I missed out. Thanks for watching.
