This is CapTV, Channel 35, Yakima.
Welcome to Northwest Nightcast, a final update on the day's top stories.
Prosecutors say a man has confessed to his part of a Tri-Cities murder and will testify
against his uncle.
Some budget problems forced the Yakima School Board tonight to make some difficult choices.
With news for the great Northwest, this is Northwest Nightcast.
Good evening, I'm Kevin Schaub.
And I'm Tiffany Peters.
The Yakima School Board has unanimously approved their budget for the upcoming school year.
The district has taken a conservative approach to this year's budget.
Last year, the depletion of their reserve funds caused a change of administration halfway
through the school year, and the district has learned through its mistake.
The new budget is based on a smaller projected student increase, and a lot of fat has been
trimmed down from the administration.
Superintendent Larry Petrie has set an example.
It has forced this district to take a look at our priorities and who our clients are
and where we spend our dollars.
And I think in that process, we found that we were spending our dollars, in some cases,
in some unwise areas.
Administration was one of those that I think was pretty obvious.
Board members say the new budget will help rebuild its reserve fund to the customary
5 percent.
Police are searching for an 81-year-old Prosser man last seen in Hermiston Sunday night.
Maynard Cohen is also known as Friday to his friends.
Cohen is 5'9'' and weighs around 150 pounds.
He also has a speech impediment.
Police in Hermiston, Oregon say around 10 o'clock Sunday night they received a complaint
of a vehicle traveling north in a southbound lane on I-82.
The description and license plates match Cohen's 92 Ford Ranger pickup.
If you have any information about Maynard Cohen, you can call the Prosser Police Department.
Prosecutors say a man has agreed to testify against his uncle in an upcoming murder trial.
21-year-old Mario Paz Ramirez was arrested last June in the death of a Pasco man who
had been bludgeoned with a 2x4.
Today prosecutors say Ramirez has agreed to plead guilty to a lesser charge of second
degree murder in exchange for his testimony against his uncle.
That's 29-year-old Miguel Paz.
Paz's trial is scheduled to begin next week.
The King County prosecutor says he will not fight the release of sex predator Vance Cunningham.
Last week the State Supreme Court upheld the state's sex predator law.
This is the law that allows the state to keep a violent sex offender behind bars even after
he's done his time.
But the court ordered Cunningham free, saying prosecutors couldn't show that Cunningham
is still dangerous.
King County prosecutor Norm Mayling says the convicted rapist could walk out of prison
in Monroe within 24 hours.
Two men accused of killing a Pasco teenager have been granted more time to prepare their
cases.
18-year-old Javier Martinez and 21-year-old Ruben Salas have been charged with second
degree murder for the death of Joey Mendoza.
Police say the two were involved in shooting the 18-year-old Pasco high school student
while he was riding with friends in the back of a pickup.
Today the suspects were granted a one week delay and deputy prosecutor Ann Marie D'Lembo
says that will make it harder to try them in.
It's frustrating when they have more time after they've read our police reports to get
together and figure out what kind of defense to present.
So that makes it more difficult for us.
That as well as the fact that we aren't able to prepare in enough time without that information.
Joey Mendoza is survived by his parents, four brothers and two sisters.
Yakima police and local FBI agents are still looking for a man who robbed a Yakima bank
this afternoon.
Around two o'clock a white man about 45 years old walked into Pioneer National Bank in downtown
Yakima and pulled out a handgun.
Police say bank employees gave the man an undisclosed amount of money.
The suspect was last seen walking on West Spruce Street in Yakima.
He has short blonde hair and a mustache and was wearing a turquoise coat, navy blue shirt
and blue jeans.
Well tonight Boeing has received some good news for a change.
Today NASA selected Boeing to be the prime contractor for the redesigned space station.
Boeing edged out three other contractors for the $22 billion project.
The competitors will now serve as subcontractors to Boeing.
Now unfortunately for the Boeing workers in Puget Sound most of the jobs from the space
station project were based in either Houston or Huntsville, Alabama.
We'll still head tonight on Northwest Nightcast.
More cases of E. coli have been reported in an Oregon restaurant.
And we'll show you how the wine country is preparing for what could be a very good year.

trend pretty much the entire Pacific Northwest that is going to continue
let's take a look at that satellite vantage point first off tonight and the
sky is really clearing out now we're seeing those clouds moving primarily on
out into extreme northeastern Washington out into the Idaho Panhandle and into
parts of Montana and should take a look with a little upper level storm here
that is moving on up into Saskatchewan now and that is bringing us clearing
trend as high pressure builds in behind we'll see lots of sunshine coming your
way tomorrow and then as we head into Thursday we'll bring this week little
band of clouds on by and give us just a bit more cloud cover out there but the
temperatures will continue to be on the warm side and overall high pressure is
going to keep us in a pretty fair state of affairs weather wise let's break it
down for you check the map check the maps and we'll see high pressure will
give us sunny skies tomorrow morning could see just a little patchy fog up
some of those valleys way up closer to the Canadian border as we head into the
afternoon hours look for the mostly sunny skies to continue warm those
temperatures on up into the upper eighties on Thursday what's left of this
very weak frontal come through in just a few clouds temperatures will probably
actually warm a couple of degrees so don't expect any cold air out of that
and actually very little in the way of cloud cover very little in the way of
cloud cover throughout the western United States we're still seeing some
scattered thundershowers on throughout the Rockies but where we have seen the
wet weather and stormy weather is out through the mid and lag seaboard they
have been hard hit tonight up to three inches of rain in some counties in
Pennsylvania some flooding there and back into Illinois also you are from
seven to ten inches of rain in some sections also in Indiana some areas of
flooding there warm over the south land effect record heat in Houston today up
to the hundred degree mark 96 in New Orleans Louisiana they tied their record

eighties let's check the outlook for the Akamai area tonight look for clear
skies coming your way that overnight low down to 50 tomorrow mostly sunny
warming up to 87 Tri cities mostly clear in your overnight forecast a low

degrees and in Pendleton high temperature up to 86 under mostly sunny
skies on Thursday just a few more clouds but still warm into the upper
eighties a slight chance for thundershowers on Fridays a weak little
upper level disturbance comes through but into the weekend look for mostly
sunny skies temperatures in the mid to upper eighties Kevin okay Steve things
are drying out we got a really good hosing down last couple days well
Eastern Washington's wine country expects to squeeze more money out of
this year's crop backed more than ever before the mild winter followed by the
frost-free spring figures out to be big money as Becky Alexander reports the
harvest of 93 could be one for the record books you get too early you won't
get all the badger mountain vineyard like most others in Washington State
expects to break some records this year the crop is projected to be the biggest
ever vineyard manager Greg Power says that's because Mother Nature has really
cooperated and that is due to a nice warm or not a warm winter but no real
extremely cold temperatures and then a nice spring without any spring frost and
so it all is accumulated into a real nice crop this year that means growers
can squeeze more money out of each acre this vineyard is expected to produce
almost double what it's put out in years past and the good news doesn't stop
there not only are there a lot more grapes on these vines they are high
quality grapes you know a lot of times you can get a big crop and not have as
good a quality fruit but this year the conditions have been such that we think
we'll have a very high quality crop as well as a big crop power says these
Chardonnay grapes are perfect because they're small and that along with a
perfect pH acid balance translates into good wine we already know this is one of
the best crops in Washington State history as far as the taste we'll have
to wait till it's bottled and released early next year but these grapes have a
long way to go between now and then they must be harvested crushed and aged
before they can be made into Washington wine Becky Alexander Northwest night
cast and the grape harvest should get underway next month they look great they
do it on the organ health department is trying to get to the bottom of a new
E. coli outbreak the story when Northwest night cast continues and we'll
show you what potato processors have discovered about the water they use to
clean their spuds

authorities have confirmed two more cases today of people infected with the
E. coli bacteria after eating at the Sizzler restaurant in Corvallis Oregon
that brings the total to nine people confirmed with the bacteria after eating
at the restaurant between August 2nd and 6th reporter Phyllis Burke has more
employees at the Sizzler and Corvallis were busy today cleaning the restaurant
from top to bottom and some customers were wondering if they were affected
we're just having a little bit of nauseous stomach aches I've had a child
who's had the runs and so I'm just a little concerned about whether I need to
see someone E. coli bacteria spread through the fecal contamination of food
but so far health officials have been unable to find the source of the
bacteria they just know what to likely rule out I think I can say that all the
indication at this point is that it's not undercooked hamburger very few of
the cases almost none in fact ate hamburger Sizzler has been conducting
inspections of its own and preliminary results show no E. coli contamination
in any of the foods or the floors tested yet the company is still concerned
extremely concerned if there I mean we have I have a team of people up here
right now and we work very closely not only with our company or operations but
with the franchisee as well the restaurant is getting strong support from
people who work at nearby businesses and eight they're on the dates in question
during the first week of August they've been really a good place to go they've
never ever had anything happen so we don't really worry about it so when they
reopen do you think you feel comfortable going back yes I would I'd definitely go
back this is Phyllis Burke reporting from Corvallis state officials in
Washington and Oregon say federal data used by the US public interest research
group in a report on compliance with the Clean Water Act was wrong the
nonprofit consumer group reported today Washington leads the nation in Oregon
ranked sixth in the percentage of permit holders reporting serious violations of
the law in the last fiscal year the group held news conferences around the
nation today including one in Spokane
and she long our lakes our rivers and our streams have been cheap and easy
toxic dumps for our polluters stronger laws and the commitment to back them up
are needed at this point to achieve the noble goals of the original Clean Water
Act the group got its data from reports filed with the Environmental Protection
Agency but the Washington State Department of Ecology and Oregon's
Environmental Department say the EPA's records are wrong most of the northwest
factories and cities listed in non-compliance with the law actually had
filed paperwork on time and complied with their permits a spokeswoman for the
Northwest pulp and paper Association says the EPA complies quarterly reports
but the state keeps the month-by-month data which documents any violations and
penalties issued she says this report shows the rate of government errors is
high what do you do with the water used to clean potatoes well in the past the
wastewater irrigated fields were cattle grazed but now the spud water is
considered a valuable fertilizer Roland Barris explains potato processing plants
washed their vegetables robbing them of nutrients but cooperation between farmers
and processors has found a use for the potato wastewater millions of dollars of
research has found that the liquid makes a great natural fertilizer the
fertilizer of the water is free there's there's about 300 to 400 dollars worth
of fertilizer per acre foot of water every day a potato processing plant can
recycle 2 million gallons of wastewater they used to dump it on low-value
grazing land which built up nitrogen in the soil but now farmers are turning a
negative into a positive we're able to make use of that resource that we
thought was something that was just a liability and with that we've also been
able to deal with such things that have come to light recently as groundwater
contamination and odor control and all of the kinds of things that have come to
the forefront in the ecological revolution you might call it the
wastewater is being used on corn alfalfa wheat and even more potatoes we can grow
excellent crops with it last year we did exceptionally well with the alfalfa we
average nine and a quarter ton on this program and I think that's as good as
you can expect in this area not only does wastewater provide nutrients it
can also reduce the amount of irrigation water a farmer has to buy
proper crop management is important to make the wastewater work but when it's
done right farmers hope that will become a valuable resource I'm Roland Barris

O's and M's game two of a three game set we are scoreless in Seattle fourth
inning Mike Blowers who's played so well in her place Edgar yeah it's a home run

but we must first check in with the Bears who going into tonight's game in
Everett had lost three in a row and eight of their last nine meanwhile the
Everett Giants began the day just one game behind the Northern Division
leading Bellingham Mariners throw all that out the window because the Bears
win tonight snapping that three game losing streak by a score of seven to five
Joel Lagarde gets the win for the Bears he proves to four and three a big night

Pirates and that is John Burkett looking to become the first 19-game winner in
the National League forget it it didn't happen tonight first inning Jeff King
goes off the deep wall in left field a three run shot to make a three nothing
Pirates and then in the second King with the leather look at the stop at third
base up and nails Matt Williams the Pirates beat the Giants by a score of 10
three now why is that important well down in Dixie the Atlanta Braves we're
looking for their eighth win in a row they were up against the Dodgers Dodger
defense helps him out easy four six three double play right not when the
Dodgers are out there Jose Offerman launches it into the dugout two runs
score makes it three nothing the one lone bright spot I guess one end lone
would be the same thing right the lone bright spot for the Dodgers rookie Mike
Piazza another home run that ties it at three or makes it three to snap John
Smoltz scoreless streak but Greg McMichael comes on and shuts the door
the Braves win their eighth in a row they're 23 and 8 since the All-Star
break and only six and a half behind the first place Giants now remember all
those times we called Mets pitcher Anthony Young a bad luck pitcher all
those times we agonized with him as he was losing a major league record 27
straight games all those who said he's a good pitcher he just can't catch a break
all those people who said ay is nothing but a minor leaguer in a big league
uniform are now at least for now correct Mets sent Anthony Young in his one and
15 record back to the minors today he will try his luck with Norfolk in
triple-a annually coinciding with the pennant races we also get some rhetoric
from the football camps and today we are going to do that who am I to
disappoint you anyway because just two weeks from this coming Saturday
Washington State Cougars will open their football season in Ann Arbor against the
defending Rose Bowl champion Michigan Wolverines really two weeks from Saturday
and Cougar fans are looking to a fifth-year senior to fill the big shoes of
Drew Bledsoe and lead this team back to the postseason and Mike Pattinson just
might be able to do that sure he's been a backup but look who he's backed up
guys like Bledsoe and Tim Rosenbaugh and after watching for four years
Pattinson is more than ready you know I can't wait I waited for this for a long
time and I've put a lot of work into this as you said and I just can't wait
for it to get started lots of media talk is about the inexperience on a Cougar
offense they've lost a core of their receivers as well as the Pac-10s leading
rusher but their new QB thinks the offense has plenty of experience
you know we got a lot of seniors on that group we're starting right now for senior
receivers and we've got a kid right now who is battling for the running back
spot he's also a senior so there's age and experience there however this is not
what you call game experience you know starting experience opening day
September 4th in front of a hundred two thousand people at the big house in Ann
Arbor on the other end of the state the Seahawks continue to prepare for
Saturday's exhibition with the 49ers no official word on Cortez Kennedy the Tez
is holding out for renegotiated contract and while the Hawks won't say
anything today Cortez says he's close to signing a four-year extension meanwhile
nothing official yet at the quarterback end but it looks like Tom Flores is
leaning towards making Rick Meyer his starter on Saturday and offensive lineman
Andy Heck is on the shelf for up to four weeks he fractured an eye socket in
Saturday's game in Minnesota he's gone for at least the final two exhibition
games all right we're gonna end your night on a nostalgic note come with me
if you will to the boxing ring it'll only take about 30 seconds of your time
as we check in with the sports senior division actually it's not officially
the senior division but Roberto Duran could probably qualify hands of stone or
no moss whatever you remember best about Roberto Duran in the ring tonight in
Mississippi against a guy named Sean Fitzgerald actually Fitzgerald just
throws him to the ground right there in the fourth round but watching the six
Duran looks pretty good comes back with some body blows and then he stuns him I
mean he drops Fitzgerald like a sack of potatoes he falls to the ground Roberto
Duran wins a sixth round knockout I don't know about how old he is I guess
somewhere 38 40 years old right in that Larry Holmes around me looks a little
better than those guys looked all right I don't know senior division of boxing
senior division of boxing about that yeah what was the age difference there I
don't know I mean nobody knows how old Duran is 38 40 42 but Fitzpatrick he
looks pretty young and he's probably in his 20s and he just dropped him like a
sack of wheat yeah well that's when experience pays off I guess something
okay well let's take a break and when we come back we'll have a recap of the day
stories and we'll look at tomorrow's
kids want their own look it's part of who they are and for kids clothes are
just the beginning to them book bags and things aren't a necessity their style

recapping tonight's top stories the Yakima school board has unanimously
approved their budget for this upcoming school year the district has taken a
conservative approach to this year's budget last year the depletion of their
reserve funds caused a change of administration halfway through the year
and the district has learned from its mistake prosecutors say a Tri-Cities man
has agreed to testify against his uncle in a murder case the two men are linked
to the death of a Pasco man who is bludgeoned with a two-by-four and the
upcoming grape harvest in Eastern Washington is looking good in fact the
cool summer and other factors may make this a record year well you may see some
patchy fog in the morning but it will burn off quickly and tomorrow should be
a rather choice summer day fair and want warmer is the forecast highs tomorrow in
the mid 70s to the mid 80s and the weekends looking pretty good at this
point it sounds like we're going to see a little bit of the well you can't call
it an Indian summer because we haven't had our first frost yet but it feels
like it's kind of late summer out there now choice a choice weekend choice
weekend you like that yeah I like that very hip Kevin well tomorrow's another
day we'll fix that that's the news have yourself a good day tomorrow we'll see
you tomorrow have a good night
