This is 5 Alive News tonight.
Good evening.
A fire that forced the evacuation of a thousand residents of Altus is still burning tonight.
However, the evacuees are now back in their homes, and 5 Alive's Jane Braden has just returned from Altus.
She's in our newsroom now with a report. Jane?
Jerry, a spark, a fire, and then a chain of explosions destroyed the Pioneer Center Farm Supply Company in Altus tonight.
With smoke from the burning building creating the worst of dangers.
The high winds have shifted tonight.
Earlier the winds drove the fumes from the burning hook right over Altus, forcing the evacuation of 300 homes and a community college there.
This man and another worker were treated for minor smoke inhalation, trying to contain the blaze.
Just had a flash fire and the two of the guys tried to get fire extinguishers to put it out and it just got out of control real quick with, you know, the papers and everything that we have in there.
Firefighters are still waiting out the flames tonight, choosing the safer course.
If you put water on that, chemicals is in there, why it's really highly poisonous, and it's better to let it burn up. There's not as much, near as much poison in the smoke as it would be if you mixed it with water.
Now the chemicals, which are described as anything a farmer could use, are expected to fuel the fire throughout the night, creating a blaze in the dark.
Well, now Jane, since the evacuees have gone back home, is there still any danger at all tonight from those fumes?
There is a danger because the fumes are still blowing out of the building. They happen to be blowing the direction towards pastures right now instead of the city.
They don't expect that the fire flames would be blowing the other way, but they could and the danger would return at that point.
Alright, thank you Jane.
The 10-year saga of the Karen Silkwood case continues tonight with still another new twist. The U.S. Supreme Court says the case will go back to trial.
The court rejected an appeal from Kerr-McGee Corporation that there is no need for a retrial on punitive damage claims by the Silkwood estate.
The estate was awarded $10 million in damages in 1979, but the judgment was tossed out in appeal.
Kerr-McGee says today's ruling doesn't apply to punitive damages, and Silkwood attorney Jim Eichard disagrees.
$5,000 is settled and has been settled for years. The question is the amount of punitive damages that the property damage that Karen Silkwood suffered will support.
That's the only real issue for a retrial, and we think under the applicable legal principles that it should run more maybe in punitive damages than last time.
Karen Silkwood was allegedly contaminated by plutonium while working at the Kerr-McGee plant in Crescent.
She died in a car wreck on the way to a meeting with a reporter in 1974. Her life was the basis for the movie called Silkwood, and she became a symbol for the anti-nuclear movement.
Kerr-McGee has issued its response tonight to the ruling, and the company says it will vigorously defend its position that no punitive damages be awarded.
Kerr-McGee also says it's confident that this position will be upheld by the trial court. Jack?
Jerry, the search for 12 impartial jurors has begun in the trial of two men accused of killing three people in Edmond.
Billy Ray Fox and Mark Andrew Fowler were in court for day one of their trial today.
Their charge was shooting two supermarket employees in the back of the head and stabbing and beating another to death.
They watched as attorneys questioned potential jurors to find out if they're biased in any way.
Some people were dismissed from the jury box because they said they couldn't consider the death penalty under any circumstances.
Well, the path of the first execution in Oklahoma in 20 years may be clear tonight.
The U.S. Supreme Court today upheld the way Oklahoma and 16 other states tried death penalty cases.
The court said juries are not more prone to convict a defendant simply because they're willing to give the death penalty.
We, like a lot of Oklahomans, have been very frustrated at our inability to carry out the death penalty.
We have the law in the books, and we don't use it.
But now I believe we're closer to the death penalty becoming reality than ever before, or at least since 1966 when it was last carried out.
Oklahoma's attorney general also believes there will be an execution in the state before the end of this year.
Three cases in U.S. Circuit Court were being held up waiting for this latest high court decision.
An apparently innocent man is recuperating tonight after being hit by shotgun pellets along an Oklahoma city street.
Police say a group of people working as tree tremors were on their lunch break at Northeast 24th and Highland today when a local resident, a man, opened fire.
The resident reportedly told police he'd seen two burglars near his property.
Authorities aren't sure if the man really saw burglars or mistook the tree tremors for thieves.
Tonight, the FDIC estimates it will take two weeks to pay off all the depositors of the failed First National Bank in Carter.
Today, customers of the bank began lining up to collect their deposits.
The 76-year-old bank had assets of $7.3 million and was the only bank in the town of 350 people.
So tonight, merchants are trying to find a nearby bank which will open up a branch in the town of Carter.
Backers of a state lottery are readying copies of a petition tonight so they can start collecting signatures tomorrow.
An official copy of their petition was filed with the Secretary of State today,
calls for a statewide vote on the lottery issue and asks that any money derived from a lottery be dispersed among education, economic development, and programs for the elderly and needy.
100,000 signatures must be gathered over the next 90 days to get the issue on next November's ballot.
Parents in Agra may be a step closer tonight to having the book, The Color Purple, banned from their school library.
The Agra school board is expected to appoint a library resource reading committee in the next few hours.
Last month, angry parents packed the Agra school board meeting and demanded that the Color Purple be removed from the school library.
Parents objected to the homosexuality and incest dealt with in the prize-winning novel.
The committee named tonight will review all library books and decide which ones are objectionable.
Another review committee already set up will then judge the material and make a final decision, and that decision can then be appealed to the Agra school board.

Some very slight radiation from the recent Soviet nuclear power plant accident is starting to pass over the United States tonight. It's in a cloud of very low level radioactive particles 30,000 feet above the west coast.
While health officials have equipment in place to watch for radiation, they say only heavy thunderstorms could bring any of the cloud to earth. And even then, they say the radiation level would be barely above normal.
We just don't expect anything from this. And people don't need to do anything special.
In the Soviet Union, news agencies are admitting for the first time that radiation went beyond the evacuated area within an 18-mile radius of the Chernobyl power plant.
They're also showing pictures of the plant taken yesterday and saying smoke is still coming from a damaged reactor building because it's still burning.
The Soviets say it all started with an explosion in the reactor's engine room, followed by a fire that sent flames 90 feet into the air and triggered a partial meltdown of the reactor's core.
Another disaster, a train wreck in Portugal, is being blamed tonight on human error.
A speeding express train plowed into a stationary commuter train this morning in a suburb of Lisbon.
At least 13 people are dead and more than 80 injured. But authorities expect to find more victims as they go through the wreckage.
Survivors say the commuter train was filled with high school and university students.
Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi has a new title tonight. He's been labeled the world's public enemy number one by the leaders meeting at the Tokyo summit.
And that group, of course, includes President Reagan.
The Western leaders adopted a strongly worded statement on terrorism, which contains several resolutions to deal with terrorism.
Among them, the banning of arms sales to terrorist nations, the cutting back of diplomatic delegations, and better procedures to prosecute and extradite suspected terrorists.
Meanwhile, the Ponca City-based Conoco Oil Company is among those major U.S. oil companies who say they'll pull out of Libya by June 30th.
The Reagan administration ordered all Americans out of Libya in January, but the companies had temporary permission to stay.
Now, however, their licenses won't be renewed after the June deadline, and oil executives estimate that together the companies own rights to about 20 percent of Libya's oil output.
When we come back, it'll be windy again tomorrow.
And Wayne Shattuck will tell us just how windy, so stay with us.

Why isn't the air conditioning hot?
We can't afford it!
What do you mean it's going to be hot?
Some families would rather suffer with the heat than run up a big bill with their outdated air conditioners.

Welcome to Oklahoma City. Bob Howard, Edmund. Joe Coker, Midwest City. Or Ferguson in Norman.
Well, I guess we're luckier than some parts of Oklahoma tonight, huh?
Well, actually, to let you know what's going on, all of Oklahoma is lucky so far, but there is a small portion of northern Oklahoma that is under a severe thunderstorm watch until midnight tonight.
There it is.
But the strange thing, so far all the activity has been happening up in Kansas and so far in Oklahoma we've had no activity up in the northern sections of the state, but we'll show you how close those thunderstorms are in just a bit.
Right now in Oklahoma City we have partly cloudy skies, 72 degrees. Our winds are out of the south. Look at that.
21 miles per hour still, gusting to 29. Humidity 81%. Barometric pressure 29.71 and rising.
Early morning low is 65. High today 82. We've had no rain in Oklahoma City today.
Highs across the state today 70s, 80s, even 90s in southwestern Oklahoma.
Tonight, late this evening, we're still very mild, reading mostly in the 70s with strong southerly winds, gusting to as high as 31 miles per hour late this evening at Wiley Post Airport.
Now here's our satellite picture across the south central U.S. this evening. Thick cloudiness you can see showing up from southeastern Kansas into Missouri and it's under this where we have our heavy thunderstorms.
Let's take a quick look at radar and here's Oklahoma City, just our ground clutter. Nothing occurring in Oklahoma at all except here.
This might be just one moderate thundershower, but this is really heavy. They've had at least two tornado warnings.
One of those southeast of Wichita about 30 miles and those have now expired. We do have a severe thunderstorm warning in effect right now.
They've had reports of hail up to one inch in diameter. We tested the tops on these a few minutes ago. This storm is at least 60,000 feet high.
It is a very strong storm, a very dangerous storm, and is moving very, very slowly.
They have estimated rainfall amounts in this area since it began late this afternoon over six inches.
So flooding may be a real problem in the next several hours.
Now back to our satellite picture starting this morning at wake up time. Cloudiness, partial cloudiness across the state.
But as the day progressed, you can see most of eastern Oklahoma had quite a bit of cloudiness and look right in here.
Late this afternoon just exploding these thunderstorms from southeastern Kansas into Missouri.
This is right along a cold front that bisects the middle part of the country and this cold front will slowly be pushing on to the east in the next 24 hours.
I think the best range and thunderstorm chances will be to the north of us. We will be in a very slight chance tomorrow afternoon and then out of it by tomorrow night.
And the jet stream, well the jet is north of us, but there is a big upper level storm out here anchored just off the northwest coast.
That will finally be coming at us towards the latter part of the weekend and by Thursday and Friday our rain chances will start to increase with the push of that upper level storm in our direction.
Tonight rain showers in the southeast and northeast from the Great Lakes down into southeastern Texas. Here is that severe thunderstorm watch area until midnight.
And then some of the May showers have turned to snow showers in the west and causing some problems.
Travelers advisories because of snow in the mountains of western Oregon, northern California, the Lake Tahoe area and also southwestern Idaho for this evening.
Tomorrow best rain chances will be from the Rockies back through the inner mountain west and snow in the higher elevations. Also extreme southeastern sections of Oklahoma on up into the Great Lakes and southern Florida.
Our highs tomorrow will range from the 70s to the 50s in the west coast, 90s and 80s in Oklahoma and then up to the 40s in the northern plains and 80s to 50s in the east.
Here is the forecast for Oklahoma City. Partly cloudy tonight, 67 for a low, southerly winds at 15 to 25.
Now tomorrow basically the day will be very windy and partly cloudy with just a 20 percent chance of afternoon thunderstorms, 85 for a high.
Then tomorrow night partly cloudy, 68 for a low, southerly winds at 16.
Now on Wednesday for partly cloudy skies, 87. Thursday and Friday that upper level storm gets close enough to give us a chance of thunderstorms.
Basically partly cloudy though Thursday and Friday. Low to mid 80s for highs.
We'll be watching that system for the next few minutes to make sure that it doesn't move or if it does move south into Oklahoma we'll let everybody know.
That's a powerful one. A very strong storm tonight.
Alright Wayne, and just ahead drawing the line for Oklahomans in the Panhandle.
For some it's a dividing line and we'll be explaining after this.

For many Oklahomans who live in the extreme northwestern part of our state,
the panhandle is the forgotten frontier.
Tonight on Cover Story we go back to Five a Live's Jane Braden
for a look at the feeling of isolation that is dividing some Oklahomans.
You've got to remember that there's no one that wanted the panhandle.
No state. Kansas didn't want it, Texas didn't want it, Colorado or New Mexico.
None of them wanted it.
Many folks in the panhandle believe Oklahoma doesn't want them either.
A spirit of isolation is growing and dividing.
We sometimes feel that they treat us like poor stepchildren out here,
which we certainly aren't.
The folks here in the panhandle say they're surrounded by five hostile states,
Kansas, Texas, New Mexico, Colorado and Oklahoma.
They feel separated and rejected by the rest of the state.
Distance divides.
Panhandle shoppers rummage through the nearby store racks of many states,
just 20 to 40 miles away.
It's too difficult to drive hundreds of miles to larger Oklahoma cities.
We have a rather unique trade territory.
On any given day we'll go through our receipts and checks,
and we'll have checks from Colorado, New Mexico, Kansas, Texas and also Oklahoma.
Here's what's happening in Texas tonight.
This diet doctor is on trial for allegedly...
The only TV news in this part of Oklahoma is from Texas
or a three antenna boost from the Oklahoma educational TV.
One daily Gaiman paper reports the local news, no downstate news.
And one Oklahoma City Daily reaches this far,
but the people feel the news is often stale by the time it gets here.
In reverse, the news from the panhandle downstate is often distorted.
Panhandlers say their bad weather reputation of bitter snow, biting wind, is unearned.
I think the panhandle is a very good news.
So biting wind is unearned.
I've been downstate on many occasions and they complain about the weather and the panhandle,
and it just isn't so.
So we're a little bit defensive about that.
Ironically, however, the billboard outside Gaiman, which reads,
Gaiman, home of the most lied about weather in the US,
was blown down by storms the night before we saw it.
Being out of touch divides.
Some talk about making the division official, secession.
The idea is half joke, half serious frustration.
The Oklahoma and Texas panhandles seceding to make a new state, with Amarillo as capital.
So we do feel, in a sense, isolated from the rest of the state
and more a part of what's going on in the high plains of Texas.
I have supported it. I think it would be very good.
I don't know how much red tape, so to speak, and everything it would take,
but it might relieve some of the problems of the panhandle area,
feeling like we're a stepchild to Oklahoma City when it seems all they want are tax dollars
and want to take everything and not give us anything.
How the panhandle gives and downstate takes tomorrow.
From the panhandle, Jane Braden, Final Night News.
Coming up next in sports, Wayman Tisdale gets a lesson from a pro, but not in basketball.
Jerry Park will have that story and more after this.

Well, Jerry Park, I know, is about to talk about golf,
and it kind of depends how the wind was blowing today, where you were at the time,
how good you did.
I think Wayman hit a pretty high shot, of course, went right up about eye level with him.
Didn't dunk it?
It dunked it right in the hole, I think.
The guy was not the greatest friend for the most part,
and the galleries didn't come out to watch the participants play,
but really just to watch the participants.
It was the annual Swing for Sight golf tournament at Oklahoma City Golf and Country Club
in Equale Creek, and Mick Cornette was one of the watchers.
I advise you to get back.
The clubs may be a bit short, but it probably wouldn't have made much of a difference.
What you are watching is Wayman Tisdale's very first golf lesson, and maybe his last.
Well, this is my first time I'm going to be able to pick up a club,
so we'll wait and see. Hope I have beginner's luck.
I don't know, though. These guys are really into it.
And as for his rookie season...
I think that any other rookie that would have came in and hit 15 points in a game
would have been just really happy, but for me, I know I can do a lot better,
so that's something for me to look forward to doing a lot better this year.
Barry Switzer found Equale Creek almost as hard as playing football without Tony Casillas.
Seattle Seahawk wide receiver Steve Larchett was on hand, showed his form of the links.
Meanwhile, pro golfer Willie Wood was wondering how he ever got talked into this in the first place.

Well, the Oklahoma City 89ers will just soon leave Denver just as quickly as they can.
They haven't been very successful out there this year, and they're not very successful at this point in time.
Bottom of the seventh, and the Denver Zephyrs lead the Oklahoma City 89ers by a count of 5-3.
Major League Baseball scores tonight in the American League.
Bruce Hurst tossed an 8-hit shutout at the Angels.
Cleveland looking for its eighth straight win, tied with the Royals who are playing in the bottom of the tenth.
Lloyd Mosby had four RBIs to lead Toronto past Oakland.
The Yankees slipped past the White Sox tonight.
Detroit leading Texas in the bottom of the fourth.
They've now had some rain problems.
Mark Langston had a no-hitter going for Seattle until the fifth.
Paul Muller broke it up, and the Brewers went on the win.
Only two games in the National League.
Montreal beat the Phils on a squeeze-butt in the eighth.
Bob Horner had a two-run homerun in the eleventh as a brave slip past the Reds,
who suffered their ninth straight loss.
Services for Paul Richards are scheduled for Wednesday morning at Hillcrest Burial Park near Dallas.
The former Major League field and general manager died yesterday in Texas at the age of 77,
shortly after collapsing while playing golf.
St. John's talented junior, Walter Berry, has decided to throw his hat in the ring,
forego his senior year, and try his luck in the NBA.
This year, to be eligible for the draft, Berry had to file by midnight Saturday.
He did so, and Coach Lou Karnasekha said he wished his young star well.
One game in the NBA playoffs tonight.
Charles Barkley had 37 points for the Sixers, but it wasn't enough.
The Bucs won the game, and their best of seven series is tied at two games each.
And there was one game in the National Hockey League Stanley Cup playoffs.
Montreal tied the game on a power play with about two minutes to play against the Rangers,
but then scored about halfway through the first overtime period to take an almost insurmountable
three games to nine lead over the Rangers in their best of seven semifinal series.
The state of Georgia wrote Jan Kemp a check for $1,080,000 today,
and she returned to the University of Georgia.
Kemp sued the university, you'll remember, and the state after she was fired for protesting
what she called preferential academic treatment of athletes
and other well-connected students in the remedial program.
She was originally awarded $2.58 million, but after appeals, the two sides agreed on the $1.08.
While Jan Kemp keeps Jan Kemp's time and the court is over, former heavyweight champ Muhammad Ali is back in.
Ali went into federal district court in Washington this afternoon to fight a government motion
to dismiss a $50 million lawsuit he filed in 1984 to have his title restored.
The World Boxing Association stripped Ali of his title in 1967 after he was convicted of refusing
to enter the service when he was denied conscientious objector status.
The judge will now decide the future of the lawsuit.
Finally tonight, veteran race car driver Bobby Allison ended a 55-race victory drought yesterday,
taking first place in the Winston 500 in Talladega, Alabama.
Allison thus becomes the oldest driver to win a race in NASCAR's top division.
He held off a challenge from Dale Ehrenhardt to win for the first time since the World 600 in Charlotte in 1984 in May.
The race was delayed for 20 minutes, first by a power outage, then by the guy who's driving this car,
an unidentified man who came out of the stands and drove off in one of the pace cars.
He was chased at speeds reaching 100 miles per hour around the track before being halted at a road block.
Police took the man into custody, rather roughly it appears, and the race went on,
albeit a little late but with some extra added entertainment for the crowd.
He didn't do anything, he just borrowed the car for a little spin around the track.
Paid the price. He did.
We'll take a short break and be right back.
Right there.
