Now tonight. Dawquist
remains on the loose in
spite of an intensive search
by law enforcement officers
from all over this area. He
should be considered armed
and extremely dangerous. To
a small community, and
there's a bunch of kids
around the area, and we
shouldn't have anybody like
that in. This town. Brian
Brenner is watching his
family and friends as they
leave the scene. They're
not going to be anywhere.
You don't come across murder
warrants very often that
aren't already in custody
or picked up. So to have
this type of a charge on
what's a routine traffic
stop certainly gets you
going. Dawquist along with
his mother and his sister

Well, there is a new plan
out to build a billion
dollar arena in Seattle.
The so called Emerald
City Center would be the
first of its kind to have
a retractable roof. Q 13
Fox News reporter Darren
Ditto is live at Pier 46,
one of the proposed
sites for the arena and
Darren. What about this
project is so unique?
Laura, $1 billion in
private money, not public
funding would be used to
build that brand new
arena right here behind
me at Pier 46. Investors
say this new arena could
bring in more money
and more money to
build that new arena.
The new arena could bring
a new NBA franchise to
town. Mr Stern is not
going to recognize us
without a facility. Feast
your eyes on the possible
future of NHL hockey, NBA
basketball and concerts
in Seattle. Legendary
Sonic downtown Freddie
Brown and former Tacoma
Rainier's general manager
Dave Bean have formed B
two ink to help finance
and build the Emerald
City Center. Bean says
this is not a pipe dream.
We're not going to be
able to do that. We're
going to be able to talk
to investors. And of
course, they've given us.
Excellent feedback and in
some instances commitment
being believes the clay
Bennett owned Sonics are
good as gone and a new
arena will mean a new
team for Seattle. According
to be to Pier 46 is the
best option because of
its location to quest and
Safeco fields plus easy
access to I five and
Highway 99. Although
the city has been
considering the idea of
building a new arena for
the city, B two says
they're ready. Quote
Terminal 46 is leased to
Honjian shipping through
2015. Honjian has an
option to sign an
additional 10 years. We
have the port believe the
best use for that property
is as a container terminal,
which creates jobs and
economic growth for our
trade dependent state. B
two is also studying three
other potential sites in
Soto and at Seattle Center
where Memorial Stadium is
now Stephen Pye with save
the city's
arena is still the best
option. Well, my gut
feeling is is that we're
going to end up keeping
the same team we have, and
we're going to end up with
a remodel key arena with
that potential $300
million deal that includes
private and public money
for key arena still on the
table until April 10th.
Seattle Mayor Greg Nichols
said quote. Key arena is
our region's sports and
entertainment facility. We
remain focused on
improving key arena so
that it will remain the
best place to be for the
next three years. We're
going to have to wait and
see what happens. We'll
see. Coming up on April
17th, the NBA Board of
Governors will vote on
whether the Sonics can
move to Oklahoma City
Live in Seattle tonight.
Darren Gito Q 13 Fox
News are different. So
even if this group feels
like the Sonics and clay
Bennett are out of here,
the issue is still there
about key arena and its
lease. What is the
situation now with that?
Laura That fight is
still on the table.
We'll see what happens
in the next few days.
The Pan Am team is
expected to be forced to
stay a key arena until
2010. Laura still a
messy issue. All right.
Thanks, Darren. To
overseas now two more
soldiers have been killed
in Iraq, one from span
away, the Pentagon says
specialist Durell Bennett
of Spanaway and private
Patrick Miller of Florida
were killed when they
came across an improvised
explosive device and gun
fire. The soldiers were
with the second battalion
16th Infantry out of Fort
Riley, Kansas. Tonight is
the first day of the
campaign, the
police say the speeding
driver lost control of an
SUV yesterday. He crashed
into a car at South Holly
and then tried to run.
Police caught him a few
blocks away from the
crash site. The accident
Vito Covello. Relatives
say he was heading home
after visiting a
neighborhood senior
community center. He was
my best friend and my
grandfather. Anytime he
was around, he would
come to me and say,
Hey, I'm a good guy. I'm
a good guy. I'm a good
guy and just loved, loved,
loved life. Velo's
grandson says his
grandfather will also be
remembered for his sense
of humor, his laugh and
his love of life. Tonight
we know the name of the
18 year old driver who
was killed in a police
chase in Snohomish County.
Officers say they tried
to pull Randall Pravrasky
over Friday night on
Westwick Road, but he
wouldn't stop. His car
flew off the road and
slammed into a tree. His
friends started a roadside
crash. The driver was
killed in a police chase
in Snohomish County.
Deputy is on paid leave
while officials
investigate the crash. A
pretty strange crash in
Seattle today nearly
stumped rescue workers
too. It was an out of
control truck that
careened into a park
station wagon, sending
that smashing into an
apartment building. And
yeah, it was quite a
shock for one resident.
They're pretty big
windows and it just
broke the top half and
hit the part above my
window. So there's a big
dent in the wall now. I
guess the people above
me got their window
broken, too. So.
Yeah, I guess it's
pretty much the same.
Yeah, I guess the people
above me got their
window broken, too. So
yeah, ever since I lived
here, I always that was
one of my big fears
that that would happen
one day. Met a car would
come through the window.
Yeah, that you can laugh
about it. Well, everyone
in the building is okay,
although it took a while
for tow truck drivers to
figure out how to get
the car out of there. A
man and woman in the
truck were slightly
hurt. University of

tonight, victims of
domestic violence have a
Governor Chris Gregoire today signed the Grego Act into law.
Now the bill makes it easier to serve protection orders
by mail or publication.
It will keep courts from forcing domestic violence victims
to repeatedly try to serve the orders in person.
Gregoire choked back tears at the somber signing ceremony.
I want to thank the sponsors for bringing forth
this important legislation.
I particularly want to thank the family
and ask God to bless them.
Thank you.
Thank you.
The bill is named after Rebecca Grego,
the UW worker gunned down by her ex-boyfriend
on campus one year ago.
Her mother and sister were at today's signing.
Jonathan Rowan tracked Grego to her office and shot her.
He then killed himself.
She had previously unsuccessfully attempted
to serve him with a protection order.
Quite an emotional day.
Well tonight, one dog is dead.
Another is recovering and police and anacortes
are looking for their owner and the person who shot them.
Both dogs were shot with a large handgun
at Heartlake Park over the weekend.
The purebred female boxer in this picture
was shot in the back but she should recover.
A male boxer, however, was found dead Saturday night.
He was shot in the head.
Police say both dogs were gentle and well-groomed
but didn't have collars or ID on them.
If you know anything about the owners or the shootings,
call anacortes police.
Tonight, the FBI says the parachute found buried
in a rural area of Clark County is not connected
to the plane hijacker, D.B. Cooper.
Federal authorities made the announcement today
after investigating the area where the parachute was found.
They also spoke with parachute experts.
Cooper is infamous for jumping out
of a Northwest Orient passenger jet
with $200,000 in ransom in 1971.
Some of the cash has been recovered
but no one knows what happened to Cooper.
We got some pretty good news tonight
for some 800 Bothell Elementary school kids
and their parents.
They won't have to change schools next year after all.
The North Shore School District was looking
to close Wooden Elementary School
to help fix a $3.4 million budget shortfall
but the school board voted last night
to put those plans on hold.
The district says it didn't have enough time
to properly analyze the closure
or how it would affect students and families.
The district still needs to figure out
how to save them money so the proposal
to close Wooden could come back next year.
Oh, what a great night.
I'm not talking about any snowstorms for a change.
Let's get out there and show you what's going on.
We are talking about a cool night tonight,
a crisp night, especially in the overnight hours.
You can see our temperatures aren't too bad.
We're seeing the 40s throughout the metro area.
It does get cold around Port Angeles
as you get into the overnight hours
as you'll be sub-freezing in many locations,
especially in the North Interior.
But we are talking about a pretty,
just kind of a, well, cloud-free night, rain-free night.
How does that sound?
This is what's next when you're getting out there
for tomorrow morning.
This would be the issue, perhaps a little fog
or you'd have to use your ice scrapers in the morning
and perhaps some black ice on just some of the overpasses.
But really, you're talking about just nice sunshine
once again.
Beautiful weather coming your way.
I'll tell you all about it in just a few minutes.

That Iraqi boy shot by terrorists
is getting a new look at Children's Hospital,
who Morijota has surgery today to repair
scarring from the attack.
Q13 Fox News reporter Jennifer Kaballa
joins us now with how the surgery went.
Hamoudi was moved from the ICU to a regular room
about two hours ago.
And both his doctor and his host parents
say the surgery went really well.
Soon Hamoudi Jota Smith will be back zooming through life.
I like to play with cars.
And when he does, he'll look a lot different.
He underwent surgery today to repair his injured face.
We were able to remove all the skin grafts
and take all the normal skin like this
and move it around to give him better coverage
of the underlying skeleton.
The bones of his face were shattered
when Hamoudi was only a toddler.
His family stumbled onto a group of terrorists
in Iraq who shot him.
He was brought to the United States for surgery
by the relief agency Healing the Children.
When you have such a devastating injury,
you can't do it in one operation.
Last year, Dr. Gross was able to rebuild
the bone in his face.
And although he looked better, people asked a lot of questions.
There's cruel people out there that will say things to us.
What happened to your son's face right in front of him?
He can't hear.
This latest surgery smoothed out the bumps
in his skin and nose.
I think that this is going to just be another step
towards getting him back to looking
like a regular five-year-old.
Hamoudi will need more surgeries to help his growing face,
but he may not get them.
His special visa from Healing the Children runs out in May.
The family is applying for asylum
so Hamoudi can stay here where his future is bright.
If he went back to Iraq, it would be bleak.
His family has said that they want him to stay here
because they know if he goes back to Iraq,
he doesn't have a life.
Blind people just don't have lives there,
unfortunately.
It's a cultural thing.
They basically either hide him away in the house
or kick him to the curb, which is not a good thing.
And this kid's got a boatload of potential.
And our hopes are that he will be
able to be an independent man, has good education,
a good job, have a wife and a family.
That's our goals for him, and they're achievable.
Hamoudi's host parents are working with an immigration
attorney to try and get him asylum.
As long as his case is pending, he can stay here
and get treatment.
And they're hoping that he'll be able to stay here permanently.
Jennifer Kaballa, Q13, Fox News.
Tonight, our state has one of the toughest toy safety
laws in the nation.
Governor Gregoire signed into law the controversial bill
banning toxic chemicals in toys, such as lead.
Some toy makers and sellers oppose the law,
saying the costs of complying with the testing requirements
would put them out of business.
Gregoire vetoed two sections of the measure,
including a too strict timeline for compliance and another
because of unclear language.
I believe that with what we've started
and what I've said by way of message in the veto today,
that we're not going to see anybody leave or throw up
their hands, that they're going to come work with us
to get the job done.
The governor also opened the door for other changes
to be made to the law over the next year.
The new legislation goes into effect July 1 of next year.
You've got two young kids.
Yeah.
That's got to be scary stuff for you guys, too, huh?
Oh, yeah, definitely.
Yeah, it's just hearing about all this and how to pick it out.
We'll be playing outside this week for sure.
Oh, my goodness.
How nice has this change been?
I'm just so excited about it, to get outside
and enjoy that beautiful sunshine
that we saw out there today.
And you know, we went, what, seven days in a row of snow
in the lowlands.
Now we're going to go possibly seven days with sun.
How does that sound?
I think that's a good trade.
And yeah, it's not an April Fool's.
All right, temperatures tonight, a nice 42.
I like to take that in the Seattle area.
You can see that we are completely dry on our live double
Doppler.
We are not expecting any rain for tonight.
And in fact, tonight will just be one
of those pretty pleasant nights.
And considering where we were last night this time,
we had the snow and temperatures were freezing.
Tonight this time, we're sitting at more like in the 40s.
All right, so let's get out there
and talk a little bit about what's going on.
Satellite picture shows it all.
We're under the influences of this big high pressure.
High pressure, remember, is just like a mountain.
It blocks anything from coming your direction.
So it pushes everything into California.
It pushes everything into BC.
And what we're left with is just this nice sunshine
that we've been seeing for today.
OK, so tomorrow, the situation, of course,
can be cold in the morning, perhaps a little patchy fog,
sloshing about, and overnight temperatures.
Cold enough to use the ice scraper
for your morning commute.
But it's not going to be a hard freeze.
So I'm not expecting any major areas of black ice
that we saw this morning out there.
Everett, you're going to get up to 48, so sunshine right away.
And it's going to end up being a nice lunch hour there.
So plan ahead for some sunshine across the area.
And a high tomorrow, very nice, 51 degrees.
Remember, it wasn't just a couple days ago
that we were sitting in the low 40s for daytime highs
with all that snow around.
25 in Olympia, so it is going to be cold tonight.
Perhaps just a few little areas of patchy black ice.
Just watch it in the early morning commute.
As soon as that sun pops up and gets up for about an hour,
we'll be OK.
In fact, you're at lunch temperature sitting at 44
for Tacoma.
I like to see that.
And here you go for tomorrow's afternoon high, 55 degrees.
Doesn't that sound nice?
Remember, we were about 40 degrees for a high not too long
ago.
And I've got even warmer weather coming for the south
sound here over the next couple of days, or perhaps around 60.
All right, Seattle.
You'll be at 33 degrees.
East Sideers, you'll be at around 30 degrees for Issaquah.
So expect a little bit of that just cold early morning.
Now remember, this is just right about 6, 630 in the morning.
So if you make it to 8 o'clock, no problems.
You're going right up into the 40s.
It'll end up being fantastic.
46 for your lunch temperature in Seattle.
I like to see that.
And you're going to see a lot of blue sky.
You'll see that fair weather cumulus,
just like we saw out there today.
And high on the East Side, 55 degrees.
That is just right.
I like to see that.
Here's your forecast for the next several days.
Now we mentioned all the snow we had at the end of March.
But here we go.
April's looking nice.
We've got a lot of sunshine.
The only, I don't even want to really call it a worry.
But let's just say you happen to have a 7 AM flight.
You might be seeing a little bit of fog
in the early morning hours.
You might have to use the ice scraper for your car.
But other than that, I mean, we're
talking one hour out of the 24 hours tomorrow,
being even questionable.
Because the rest of the time looks great.
Don't even talk about that.
There you go.
One hour 24 hours.
Just talk about the good stuff.
23 hours will be great.
How's that?
I got some decent weather, a little bit of shower activity
for the coast and mountains.
Perhaps this weekend, maybe if you're camping on Saturday.
But really, this is nice.
I mean, you've got to remember what we just went through.
I'll take it.
A lot of sunshine.
Good sleeping weather, too.
All right.
Thanks, Walter.

You bet Laura
This is the third time in three years that oil execs have been hauled up here by lawmakers and given an earful
Around the country today parked rigs in protests right now. We've got me and standing here
They're absolutely gonna lose everything they have truckers are mad
We're out here running for nothing diesel selling for almost four dollars a gallon to say consumers are hurting too is an understatement
They cannot understand when they're paying
328 or 344 out in my state of Washington at the pump
Why then you then reach into their pockets and take out another 18 billion dollars on April 15th out of their tax bill?
They can't understand that that's right
The nation's largest oil companies are pulling in huge tax breaks even as they rake in record profits
123 billion last year alone
So on April Fool's Day the biggest joke of all is being played on American families by big oil
Lawmakers want to take away those tax breaks and use the money for renewable energy
Projects these oil execs say that would hurt their industry besides
They're not the bad guys blame high gas prices on the high cost of crude beyond that
The oil companies say their hands are often tied by stringent regulations
The US government restricts supply to US consumers the result
We import more oil to meet our growing demand with your record high profits
Have you thought of lowering the price of gasoline?
Given time one of the executives made the case. Well, you work for a big company
You make big profits and besides they're good citizens over the last five years

Now this idea of community policing is nothing new to these drivers
In fact, many have been helping dispatchers for years
Now they're receiving this formal training
And when you think about it, who better to keep an eye on all of the dark nooks and crannies in your neighborhood
Areas where criminals like to operate
We're in every back alley, we're in all the tight little streets where there's nobody else
Now dozens of drivers in Seattle, Burien and Renton have already been trained
And the hope is by the end of the month to have drivers in Skagit County up to speed as well
And since they're already up, you might as well keep an eye on those who are up to no good
Your local trash collector keeping your community clean in more ways than one
In Kirkland, Angela King, Q13 Fox News
Well this community program is part of a larger national effort
So far more than 11,000 garbage truck drivers across the country have been trained
New development site in a pet food recall
Menu Foods has agreed to settle lawsuits with pet owners in the United States and Canada
Last year thousands of pets became sick and some even died after eating menu food products made with contaminated wheat gluten
No word on how much the settlements would be worth
The proposal still needs to be approved by U.S. and Canadian judges
To some medical news now, last fall we heard a lot about staff infections, especially the drug resistant kind like MRSA
It's a problem that's not going away, in fact staff is now the leading cause of infections after surgery
But in tonight's wellness report, a new vaccine that might be the breakthrough we need
When Barbara Stout found out she needed open heart surgery, she started to worry about getting a staff infection
It was a big, big worry on my mind because once you've had that experience it's not fun to go through
Two years ago Barbara spent six days in the hospital battling staff in an incision she had from hernia surgery
This time her heart surgeon asked her if she'd like to take part in a study of the first vaccine for staff
The shot includes protection against MRSA, the drug resistant staff
The vaccine allows you to kind of pump up your immune system before an operation, develop a high level of antibodies
And at least in animals it really has a dramatic impact
The vaccine is the first being tested in heart surgery patients
They and others who are sick and hospitalized are most vulnerable to severe staff infections and death
So Dr. Allen says if the vaccine proves safe and effective, it might also be given to healthy people
Since they're increasingly at risk for MRSA
This may ultimately be something that just like your mumps, measles, rubella or tetanus, you may get a staff vaccine
Some patients in the study get the real vaccine, others a placebo
Barbara doesn't know what she got
Her heart surgery was more than two weeks ago
Real well, no infection, so I'm praying that I got the good stuff and everything's just going to work out fine
Patients in the study get the vaccine two weeks before surgery to give them time to build up immunity to staff
Research is going to take at least 18 months before the federal approval process can begin
But in the meantime, we've got more information on staff infections and tips for preventing them on our website

Welcome back, it is expected to be the busiest season ever in Seattle for the cruise ship industry
And today, Seattle welcomed the Mercury at Pier 66
The celebrity cruise ship is the first to arrive this season
The cruise ship industry has grown dramatically in Seattle
Cruise lines are bringing in larger ships and they're bringing in a lot more of them
The Port of Seattle says the Mercury will be the first of 211 ships that we'll visit here
Well, it's exciting for a couple reasons, one is the cruise industry at the Port of Seattle creates 2,000 jobs
And so we're always excited, any industry that helps us support jobs and economic growth in the Port of Seattle and in the Seattle region
Now each time a cruise ship docks at the port, it equals nearly $1.5 million in economic benefits for the city
It appears Costco lost its battle against Prohibition Era laws
Today, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals denied Costco's request that it reconsider a decision to uphold the state's rules on beer and wine distribution
In January, an appeals court ruled that automatic price markups and bans on having alcohol delivered to a warehouse are valid
Costco had hoped to beat those laws in hopes of using its massive buying power to drive down prices
Today, the court said it will not hold a rehearing of the case
Walmart is waking up to the coffee business

The airline is expanding its menu to include meals that cost seven or eight bucks per meal
They're going to be available on the longer domestic flights and U.S. flights traveling to the Caribbean and to Latin America
The meals are designed by a celebrity chef, however, if that's important to you, Todd English will be making those meals
I don't think I'm too worried about what the meals are going to be
Yeah, I don't know, I've got other things on my mind

The Guinness Book of World Records has recently crowned the tallest dog
He is huge, check out Gibson, a Harlequin Great Dane who lives in California
I'm sure he's a big puppy dog too though, he stands more than 7 feet tall when he stands on his hind legs
Gibson's title has earned him a role in a new British documentary, I don't know what the name is yet
How much dog food does he go through in a week?
He's so cute
He's got a friend there too
Great Danes typically are just really warm and friendly
He jumps up on you though and knocks you down
Alright, speaking of warm and friendly, Walter Kelly has a forecast and it's looking good on Walter
And I'm not even 7 feet, so there you go
Hey, you can see that we are dry tonight, that's the good news

Alright, so let's get down there, we're talking about flying through the cloud deck, none tomorrow
Perhaps a little fog in the morning, but it's going to end up being beautiful
It'll be crisp, perhaps your ice scraper used overnight when you're heading out there in that early morning commute
But talk about our highs in Lewis County here, 55, absolutely gorgeous
And as you get up to the mountains, still in just another beautiful day
So a little bit of fog, then you're going to see the sunshine
And it's looking good as you get up to the mountains, and Eastern Washington, fantastic
I just got some new numbers in for the ski areas, 150% of normal

From the Quest Sports Desk, this is View It Up Sports.
It was a 1-1 game going into the eighth inning,
and then things just got nuts.
Let's pick it up with the Rangers and the Mariners.
Felix Hernandez strong today.
Seven innings, gave up just six hits.
The pretty play here on the fourth.
Just one earned run in three case to the eighth.
It's 3-1 Texas.
Each year it was 3 for 4.
It boots it.
Charlton Jimerson is in.
It's 3-3.
Wild Bits, they'll take it.
Unieski Betancourt, get down with a head-first slide
for three Mariners.
But to the ninth, with the man on.
JJ puts, uh-oh, but Josh Hamilton,
remember the name, this kid is dangerous.
Two run shot, done.
Texas is the winner, 5-4.
Yankees, Jays, give me some New York music
for the opener out there in Gotham City.
Mielke Cabrera up against the wall with a pretty catch.
You can now come to your left, or is that to your right?
That's to your right, young fella.
Yankees are your winners.
They take care of the Jays.
KISW's Double R, he does work for us from time to time
on Q&Up Sports.
Matter of fact, here's a tease.
It's coming up on Sunday.
Battling former Mariner John Olerud
in a wiffle ball contest.
You don't want to miss that.
Earlier today on his radio show, he had Jose Kinseko.
And Kinseko has taken verbal shots at Kurt Schelling.
Play it, guys.
If you listen to him talk now,
he's so incredibly disrespectful to people, first off.
Secondly, if you don't agree with him,
the things his line of talking is just,
it's like a five-year-old.
He believes he's impeccable now
when it comes to talking about the subject.
I can tell you something.
If I sound like a five-year-old,
he sounds like a one-year-old
because his vocabulary is terrible.
Number two, this guy's the biggest hypocrite,
the biggest liar, the biggest exaggerator.
I mean, Kurt Schelling is a pathetic human being.
Wow.
Now, Jose, beyond him just being a...
He was even reprimanded in Congress by the congressman
because his testimony was so bad and so hypocritical.
It was ridiculous.
So do you think that he's been juicing?
Kurt Schelling?
Yeah.
I don't know anything about Kurt Schelling.
I just think he's a fool.
Ouch.
Alex Rodriguez.
Here's a factoid for you.
He's the highest-paid player in the majors,
pulling down $28 million annually.
That's more than the Florida Marlins' entire roster at 21.8 mil.
Spring football starts for the University of Washington
Husky football team coming up on Thursday.
Jake Locker will be there, but this summer,
he's playing baseball.
For more on that, here's Aaron.
Now starting in center field,
Husky quarterback Jake Locker.
That's what they'll be announcing this summer
at Bellingham's Joe Martin Stadium,
as Locker plans to play sparingly for the Bellingham Bells
of the West Coast Collegiate Baseball League.
It's something that will make my life more enjoyable this summer,
I feel, and I don't want to pass up that opportunity.
I know that he's a competitor.
He misses it a little bit.
And as long as it doesn't interfere with our workouts this summer
that are critical, I have no problem with that.
And so Locker, who played 16 years of baseball,
will play when football commitments aren't in the way.
Despite Coach Willingham's blessing, football is still top priority.
You don't know how many games it's going to be,
but it sounds like it's a very minimal number of games.
But I do know this.
I do know Jake is highly motivated to be a great football player.
Throughout the recruiting process, he was always very supportive of me.
And if I wanted to play two sports when I first got here,
so I knew that if I, you know, to approach him,
he was going to be supportive of me and stand next to me
in whatever decision I made.
As for concerns about him getting hurt...
I mean, he can get hurt walking to class.
He can get hurt driving up to Ferndale to see his mom and dad on a weekend.
So I can't guarantee that he wouldn't get hurt,
but I can guarantee he's not going to pitch.
He's not going to change his throwing motion, and that would not be good.
One final note, Bellevue High alums E.J. Savannah and J.R. Hastie
will not participate in spring football when it begins on Thursday.
According to Coach Willingham, both are academically eligible
and can be back potentially at any time.
However, the disciplinary actions are yet one more setback to Hastie,
who has yet to see any significant time in the Husky backfield.
From Husky Stadium, Aaron Levine, Cue It Up Sports.
T-Birds in action tonight, game seven of the WHL playoffs.
That's Bud Holloway will end up with a scrap and a goal in front.
T-Birds with a one-nothing advantage.
They go out in front two-nothing.
When Ian McKenzie will wind up from the slot and knock it home,
they win it 4-2.
They advance to the Western Conference semis when they meet Tri-City Americans.
And Carl, you were telling me there was a huge brawl.
Remember that back in the day?
Carl, one of my operators, this guy you can't see on camera,
remember it was that dangerous brawl between those two teams
about eight years ago.
They'll be reunited once again in the Western Conference playoffs.
All right, what are you guys going to be doing when you're 60?
We're going to show you what that is.
Will you be in the ring?
Well, we'll tell you about it.
This guy does not look like the 6-0, but he is,
and we'll tell you what he's all about.
We'll come back and see it up.

All right, the gentleman's name is Sal Mamby, and he's 60 years of age.
The last time he boxed was back in the 1960s, and he's, well, he's getting after it again.
We'll show you the gentleman we're talking about.
That is him working out on the heavybacks.
Sal Mamby, former light heavyweight champion, making a comeback.
That's right, at the tender age of 60.
We bring up the grainy black and white video.
And once again, remind you that he started fighting back in the 60s.
And look at that.
Is there like an age group he's going to be fighting in, or is he?
Yeah.
Over going 50 plus?
He's not going to be fair.
I don't know, but I think I want to take up boxing.
My gosh, I think that's a fountain of youth.
That's great.
Dan, thank you.
All right, so speaking of looking great, the weather looking great.
A little frosty really early in the morning, just for basically that one hour just before sunrise or right around sunrise.
A little bit of patchy fog for the next couple of days, but really you're just talking about beautiful sunshine, looking fantastic.
And on Thursday we can be seeing a few highs close to 60 in the south, south, and east side.
This is amazing, considering the switch we made from last week to this week, or I guess yesterday, March to now, looking good.
And we do have just a few little showers along the coast and mountains this weekend.
But Seattle area, metro area, you're going to see ample sunshine for almost a whole week, which is pretty sweet.
April's up. Great stuff.
Thanks, Bob.
