Near a Casper baseball field, plus police officers will be out in full force for the holiday weekend,
and you can help find missing children just by watching TV.
It's time for your K-2 News at Ten.
This is K-2 TV's News at Ten.
A man dies days after an incident where Cheyenne police restrained him.
And an epidemic in China affects a family in Wyoming.
Good evening everyone, I'm Flint Adams.
And I'm Wendy Patton.
Those stories are coming up, but first tonight,
multiple stab wounds lands one man in the hospital tonight.
Casper police say the 44-year-old Casper area man was found near a Casper youth baseball field on West 13th Street.
A concession stand worker found the man in his truck outside the youth baseball office just before five tonight.
You could see some visible stab wounds on his face, and he was coherent but kind of droggy.
He had made a comment that he didn't know how long he had been sitting out here, and he didn't know who had done it.
Police say the man's injuries aren't life-threatening.
They're still investigating, but don't have a suspect at this time.
And a death investigation involving the Cheyenne Police Department leaves many unanswered questions.
Officers were at the scene when Robert Dick stopped breathing, but were they the cause?
K-2's Steve Strain reports.
Captain Patrick Byrne shows the wrap device used on individuals for restraining purposes.
Wrap around and tighten this up.
That's the same device Cheyenne Police used back on May 13th to restrain Robert Dick at this intersection.
But something strange happened that day.
About the time they were putting it on him, he quit breathing.
On Wednesday, he died.
Now the department has removed itself from the investigation.
There's an instant of this nature where you have serious injury or illness or an unknown cause of a medical condition.
We asked to have an outside agency take a look at it.
That means the case, looking into just what happened at 6th and Kerry Streets that night,
is now in the hands of the State's Division of Criminal Investigation, who is not able to be reached for comment.
What is known is Dick showed a strange pattern of behavior leading up to his death.
Earlier that day, police reports indicate he was arrested for allegedly trying to break into a moving truck at this South Cheyenne business.
The day before, an arrest for public intoxication.
We've had several contacts with him within the last several weeks.
Drunk disturbances, intoxicated person.
And some of the other calls were involving some erratic behavior.
That pattern continued at this intersection where he allegedly was yelling at the driver of a moving car, someone he didn't even know.
That's when police arrived and where the end of Robert Dick's life was about to begin.
Police waited more than a week to notify the media about the incident.
The notification was made after Dick's family requested he be taken off life support.
And back in Casper, an assisted living home is in the middle of a wrongful death suit.
Recently filed court documents say Constant Yoker died after jumping or falling from her third story apartment at Park Place Living Center in 2001.
Park Place is owned by the Emeritus Corporation.
Documents say Yoker suffered from dementia and the defendants knew of her medical condition when they put her on the third floor.
The suit also says the facility didn't have an effective way of keeping the residents from falling from the third floor.
The civil suit is seeking punitive damages for Yoker's death.
You can help police find missing children just by watching TV.
Police, the governor, even the president can now send emergency alerts to your home instantly.
Thanks to a gift to Wyoming from the Missing Children's Network, Katoos Penny Preston has a story from Jackson.
Hundreds of Wyoming officers came here to learn how to pull together community, state, and federal resources for homeland security, child abductions, and other emergencies.
These lawmen brought years of experience to the conference.
They learned about a new tool, their computers, even a laptop that allows an officer to instantly alert the entire state.
With a tool called Spinner, officers can issue an amber alert that appears instantaneously, bringing graphics, pictures, even different languages to your TV.
Equity Broadcasting's technical director, Stephen Brandt, is the co-founder of Spinner,
the new technology that brings national, state, local, and weather alerts to the bottom of your screen without interrupting your favorite show.
He offered it to Wyoming free.
Equity President Larry Morton heads up the Missing Children Network Foundation.
A $15 million foundation grant will eventually bring Spinner to the entire country, but Wyoming is the first.
Should we start in the most populated areas? Should we start in the less populated areas?
We looked at our situation because of our relationship in the state of Wyoming with Katoos.
I think it's a great opportunity. Those first few days that a child has been missing is the most critical period of time,
and getting the information out to the public is very, very important.
Who wouldn't love to catch someone or have a hand in catching someone who had abducted some innocent child?
When will the Spinner system get underway? It already has at K-2. Penny Preston reporting for K-2 News from Jackson.
And Wyoming schools get a passing grade from Washington in the No Child Left Behind Act in 2001.
The announcement was made today in Cheyenne during a visit by a member of the U.S. Department of Education.
Scott Jenkins joined Wyoming Superintendent of Public Instruction Trent Blankenship at Arp Elementary School to take a classroom tour.
The tour was followed by an assembly where the announcement was made that Wyoming is the 23rd state to have its accountability plan approved.
That plan requires states to enact high rigorous standards to enact annual assessment of students in grades 3 through 8 and in high school,
and numerous other criteria which would make sure that all students are achieving and all students are learning.
The state has received more than $70 million from the federal government to implement the No Child Left Behind program.
And the U.S. has yet to experience a SARS outbreak like other countries, but it's still affecting one Wyoming family. K-2's Cheryl Hackett explains.
The merchants are a happy family of three, soon to be four, but that could be a while. Their next adoption is on hold because of SARS.
We have been approved. Our paperwork has been sent to Beijing, but our match was to have happened at the end of August or so, and now that all is temporarily suspended.
They're trying to stay patient, but Leah says it could take another year before they're able to go to China and get their baby.
Despite having to wait longer to get their second child, the merchants say they don't mind.
Maybe that's for the best. If we have three grandkids and one on the way and her, and we would hate to bring something back that would infect them with SARS.
The merchants know they could adopt a baby from another country, but they say Chinese babies are dear to their hearts.
I just thought it was the right thing to do. There are so many children there needing homes, and our agency's creed, I guess, is that every child deserves a home of his own.
The merchants cherish memories of bringing home Anna.
This is the first time we met Anna.
And count the days until they can meet baby number two. Cheryl Hackett, K-2 News.
Leah says she appreciates China taking this step. She says it shows the country is making efforts to keep people safe and prevent the spread of SARS.
Hi, and it's time to check in with meteorologist Sandy Shaw. Another nice night out there.
But here we have some late-day thunderstorms on the way. Is that right, Andy?
You listened at six. Oh, that's just awesome, Lindy. I'll give you a Snickers later on.
Anyway, yeah, we will see some late-day thunderstorms coming up in the next several days, but right now it's pretty quiet.
We have temperatures into the 60s right now at 10 o'clock. Look at these across the state.
67 right now in Whirlwind, mid-60s in Riverton, 66 in Lander, the same in Rock Springs, still mid-60s in Casper and low 60s in Cheyenne.
Up into the northeast, some of the cooler air is settling in, 56 in Buffalo, 53 in Gillette, and 55 in Sheridan.
Here's a look now at your wind speed forecast for the next 24 hours through the overnight hours.
Fairly calm winds for a good part of the state. And as we get going for the day tomorrow, really not much of a wind out there.
Along the Bighorns, picking up a little bit, and down around Laramie and Cheyenne on the I-80 corridor there,
some wind speeds that may be at best 15 miles per hour, but at pretty quiet Friday wind-wise.
But we do have those late-day thunderstorms you were talking about, so we'll talk more about that in your holiday weekend forecast coming up in a little bit.
M&Ms if you want those, too.
All right, whichever. I like chocolate, Andy. Thanks.
Still ahead tonight, expect to see a few more of the boys in blue this holiday weekend.
And it was the opening night of the Wyoming State Track Meet.
George K. will have all the actions coming up in sports.
...
Me and my buddies, we'll hit up the Mickey D's and Burger King a lot, just because they got the best deal for the cheapest burgers, the kind of little tiny patties and all bun.
I'll buy a bunch of those burgers, throw the buns away, except for two, keep a top and a bottom.
So I take the burgers, I stack them together. Pickles, burger, burger, burger, burger. Bun. That's how I do it. It's the only way I can get enough meat, man.
Thick burgers with 100% Angus beef, because a guy shouldn't have to eat a pound of bread to get a half pound of meat.
If you haven't gone through the trails of Old Town, Casper's Historic Mini Golf Course, why you're missing out on an authentic journey down Central Wyoming's memory lane.
But through the settlers' life on the Oregon Trail, the Plant River Bridge, and the old Casper Train Depot, Fort Casper, the old graveyard, and David Crockett's Moonshine Loaf.
Talk about a trip to the past, you'll have a whale of a good time at Old Town.

Recent crime statistics show Natrona County has the highest DUI rate in the state.
That has the attention of law enforcement, especially for the holiday weekend.
Natrona County Sheriff Mark Benton says they will increase patrols at the lake and on the way to the lake.
He says they'll have zero tolerance for drinking and driving, and not just in your vehicles.
If you're operating the boat, don't drink. We lost a life last year. It's a very serious situation.
The penalties are the same for driving under the influence of an automobile.
And if you should injure someone or take a life, those penalties are greatly enhanced.
Benton says to keep in mind that a lot of people will be headed to and from the lake all weekend.
That'll mean an increase in traffic on the highways to the lake. Benton says be extra careful when you're driving.
But we'd also ask them on that highway, be patient. You get a lot of traffic, slow down.
At 65, you'll get to the lake maybe just a few minutes later than if you were driving 75 or 80.
The Cheyenne City Council is interested in a piece of land that could help the city's water situation.
The city of Cheyenne is looking at spending almost $6 million for a 17,000 acre ranch located southwest of the city.
The ranch's surface and groundwater could more than double the city's available water supply.
Plus, the area is suitable for a new landfill.
Now one drawback is the land is contaminated with a potentially toxic cleaning solvent that was used during the 1960s to clean Atlas missiles.
However, city officials say the city's water plant is equipped to remove the chemical.
The state's new consumer advocate office has some problems with Kinder Morgan's choice gas program.
The office says KM's tariff proposal doesn't comply with Public Service Commission directives.
The OCA is concerned about KM possibly collecting more money than it's entitled to.
Another problem area is the company's customer education efforts not being adequate.
A Kinder Morgan official says he hadn't seen the report and therefore couldn't comment on it.
The Public Service Commission and KM are scheduled to meet next Tuesday when the PSC will rule on whether the tariff is in compliance with their order.
Alright, Nandie joins us now at the desk. We're just sitting over here chatting away.
You know what we were talking about.
That's right. Late day thunderstorms.
Yeah, chocolate, chocolate, M&Ms, no, late day thunderstorms.
We're in that time of year with the heating of the day. We'll start to see more and more of those.
We'll talk about that first if you are playing in Andy's Almanac for the day today in the capital city.
Officially 71 and 45. Other temperatures throughout the state, very warm and mild.

I'm very proud to be a part of my associate.
We live here too, and we believe good works.
The professionals at Wyoming Behavioral Institute are focused on understanding your needs.
Nearly 10% of children suffer from some form of clinical depression, and that number increases in adolescence.
In addition to the usual depressive symptoms, such as changes in eating and sleeping habits,
low energy, loss of interest in activities, and isolation, children also exhibit other clues,
including changes in school performance, restlessness, sudden outbursts of anger,
tearfulness, extreme mood swings, and physical complaints for which no cause is found.
Diagnosis and treatment of depression in children is essential so that they may continue to lead happy and productive lives.
If you recognize symptoms of depression in your child, don't be afraid to ask for help.
Call the professionals at Wyoming Behavioral Institute for a free and confidential consultation.

Your K-2 AccuWeather forecast, covering all of Wyoming, with chief meteorologist Andy Schaaf.
Hope you're having a great night. It's a mild evening across the state and temperatures today above normal,
10 degrees above normal in the Casper area, officially a high of 79 today.
The morning low of 37 out at the airport, the normal's 69 and 40, and the record's 86 and 30 degrees.
Capital City, second day in a row of hitting 71 for a high, 45 the morning low.
The normal's now 67 and 40, and the record's 86 and 29.
That record of 86 has been holding steady for a long time, since 1879.
Other temperatures throughout the state, currently we have 55 in Sheridan, 56 in Buffalo, 53 in Gillette,
still 61 in Douglas and one degree warmer in Torrington, mid-50s in Laramie right now,
pair of sixes in Rock Springs, and also pair of sixes in Lander, one of the state's hot spots today, 61 in Jackson Hole.
Doesn't that sound nice to be in Jackson Hole right now at 61 degrees?
Currently in Casper, partly cloudy skies, mid-60s at the airport, a little bit cooler here on the east side of town,
61 degrees at the studio, 55 degrees in the studio if you're playing at home,
humidity at 39 percent, and the winds out of the east northeast at eight miles per hour.
In Cheyenne, at 61 right now, 44 on the humidity, southerly winds at six miles per hour,
and the air pressure pretty high, and it's on the rise at 30.18.
Here is what's happening across the nation.
We still have this slow-moving area of low pressure that is bringing flooding conditions to portions of the Carolinas.
This will just crawl up the coastline in the next 24 hours.
We will remain under the influence of high pressure, and that means another nice day tomorrow with calm winds,
and then late in the day we could see, as Lindy has well noted, a few late-day thunderstorms developing.
But watch what happens. The high slides a little bit off to the east of us, but it's pretty close,
and when it's that close, we won't see too strong winds, so that will be pretty nice to finish out the work week.
For tonight, calm winds out there, and we still might see an isolated brief shower or thundershower pop up that won't last long,
won't be severe, but it would happen into the southeast. Temperature's mild, though.
Look at these off-for-overnight lows in the eastern plains, mid-40s to upper-40s in many spots,
upper-40s in the central part of the state, and 30s and low-40s out to the west.
Then for the day tomorrow, your Friday. I hope it's a great day.
Some of you may be starting the holiday weekend a little bit early.
Temperatures will rise well into the 70s for a good part of the state,
some 80s popping up in Torrington, Riverton, and in Worland, mid-60s in Yellowstone.
So I hope you have a good one. Can't wait for it.
Partly cloudy tonight in Casper and 45 degrees, an overnight low.
For the night in Cheyenne, we still could see a brief thundershower popping up.
Partly cloudy skies and 45 degrees, an overnight low.
For the day tomorrow in Casper, increasing clouds 77 degrees.
Variable winds only about 10 to 15 miles per hour should make for a great day out at the state track meet.
And in Cheyenne tomorrow, there's that chance of a late-day thunderstorm developing.
Partly cloudy skies early, though. Temperatures will rise into the mid-70s southeast winds at 5 to 15.
And your extended forecast through the holiday weekend, 70s and 80s all the way across the board.
And again, just a reminder, chance of those late-day showers and thunderstorms developing.
And for those of you going up to the high elevations, the warm temperatures will melt some of that snow,
and we will see some of those rivers and streams rise.
What about reservoirs?
Reservoirs? Yeah, they're doing all right, too.
All right. Thanks, Andy.
You're welcome.
Now for some water trivia.
That's right. Did you know that most of the body is made up of water,
and in fact you can only survive for about a week or so without drinking any?
Those are just some of the facts that children learned today at the Wyoming Children's Water Festival,
where H2O facts were on tap. K2's Amy Bauer takes us there.
So we all need to make sure we take care of the water, because it can't be replaced.
Third and fourth graders from around the Toronto County trickled in to fill up with liquid fat.
Your body is like 75 percent water, and if you dehydrate from water, you die.
Learning how to conserve your water and how you destroy it.
The room was overflowing, and in this mock survivor skit,
kids got to vote off who they thought was the biggest danger against water.
Organizer Dena Hood says that this is the best way to learn.
Put their hands in, get their hands dirty, build.
Those are the things they're going to learn, they're going to remember.
Their little minds are like sponges, and it's really great.
So whether or not they leave here wet sponges, they'll walk out knowing they had a good time.

Tonight's sports is brought to you in part by your local dog dealer.
What is very likely the biggest event of the entire sports calendar got started today.
The State High School Track and Field Meet got underway at the Harry Galdine Stadium.
The weather was just about perfect as athletes from every corner of the state turned out to compete in the three-day showcase.
One of the first field events of the day was the boys for a long jump where Rob Offlich from Kelly Walsh
grabbed the gold with a leap of 21 feet, 6 1⁄2 inches, winning over Joe Kilpac from Green River,
whose top mark was 20 feet, 10 1⁄4 inches.
The first event on the track was the 3,200 meter run for Class 1A girls,
and the winner for the third straight year is Jamie Valencia, a junior from Guernsey,
who had to overcome a determined run by Optons Ray L. McPeters.
Valencia's win didn't come easily.
Very tough. That's why I have to tomorrow, yeah, I think.
The Class 2A 3,200 meter winner is ninth grader Emily Higgins from Rocky Mountain,
who opened a big lead in the last lap to coast to the tape all alone.
The 3,200 for 3A girls turned into a big win for defending champion Douglas.
Jenny Diltz forged ahead of teammate Marissa Saunders at the tape to take first.
Both are sophomores, while ninth grader Kelsey Shadow from Douglas was fourth.
That amounted to 23 points for Douglas in that one event.
The girls' 4A 2 mile was a memorable performance by Natrona sophomore Sarah Balfour,
who built a huge lead and coasted home in 11 minutes, 6.24 seconds.
Balfour obviously was in a mood to run fast.
My plan was to have fun. This whole season I've been worried about defending my state titles,
everything like that, and I don't know, I just decided to have fun.
I mean, at regionals I had the best time. I mean, I was worried going into it,
who isn't worried when they go into a race?
But something I haven't done a lot when I've run is have fun,
because I felt like there's so much pressure.
I mean, doing so well as a freshman last year, but I don't know,
just to have fun, that was pretty much it.
The boys' 3,200 meters for 1A was a showcase for Nathan Fiskus from Cokeville.
His team racked up 16 points in the race with a first, fifth, and seventh finish.
In Class 2A, Tongue River's Ryan Horne captured the goal by nearly 12 seconds.
Landers Matt Heller finished ahead of the pack in the 3A race, winning by 18 seconds.
The 4A race was won by Andrew Jones from Gillette.
Scott Covington from Green River was six seconds behind.
So here are the team totals after the first day of the state meet.
4A boys, Gillette has the lead, then it's Sheridan, Green River, Cody, and Ndrona.
3A boys, Torrington, the defending champions with a slim lead,
then it's Kemmer, Worland, Lander, and Douglas.
In 2A boys, Pinedale is on top.
Again, it's very close, Lovell, Wright, Big Piney, Saratoga in that order.
1A boys, Upton has the lead, followed by Cokeville, Burlington, Guernsey, and Snake River.
4A girls, Ndrona leads it, then it's Cheyenne Central, Sheridan, Riverton, and Kelly Walsh.
3A girls, the defending champion Douglas team has the lead,
then it's Wheatland, Glen Rock, Star Valley, and Mountain View.
2A girls, Saratoga's in front, followed by Shoshone, Southeast, Pinedale, and Ndrona.
South East, Pinedale, and Wright, and in 1A girls,
Cokeville is the leader, then Guernsey, Albin, Upton, and Burlington.
State high school soccer tournament got started today, and Cody,
here are the results to the moment.
The first day's action is complete, and the boys, it was Kelly Walsh edging Riverton,
Lander got by Cheyenne Central in overtime, East beat Gillette, and Laramie shut out Cody.
In the girls' side, Ndrona a winner, 7-1 over Green River,
Gillette beat Jackson, Cheyenne Central shut out Sheridan, and Cheyenne East over Riverton.
The NBA Eastern Conference Final moves to New Jersey tonight, where the Nets hope to end it.
Byron Scott's Nets lead Detroit two games to none, and New Jersey takes command early tonight in Game 3.
Jason Kidd strikes the long jumper just before the end of the first quarter.
Nets up by five.
Jason Kidd leads his team to a 13-point lead before halftime with a nifty spinning shot down low,
and the foul, 48-35, the Nets are in the lead.
Jason Kidd would lead them with 34 points, and they go on to beat the Detroit Pittons.
The final tonight, New Jersey 97, Detroit 85, New Jersey leads it three games to none.

Well, if you're itching for something to do this weekend, here's an event that will have you howling.
The Central Wyoming Cow & Club Dog Show starts tomorrow and runs through Saturday out at the fairgrounds.
More than 650 dogs will compete, and it seems like Andy and George might be good to compete too here,
for Best in Show, and the best part is interactive.
We have dogs coming from all over the country, probably 90 different breeds,
and one of the nice things about a dog show is that a person can come out and talk to breeders and handlers
about that particular breed.
If you're wanting to learn about a breed or considering that for your family,
it's a good chance to come out and learn more about it.
The competition begins tomorrow morning at 9, and then again on Saturday morning at 8,
and you have nothing to bark at this year. There's no admission.
If only people could have seen these guys. They are very good dog actors, really.
I've seen that dog show. It's very interesting. He has some great breeds and some interesting animals.
They put a lot of time into them.
Right. Rockies lost today, 4-3 to the Dodgers. They cannot beat the LA Dodgers in LA.
What are they, about 2-20 in their last game?
Of course, the Dodgers haven't given up, what, about 10 runs in 12 games or something? They are tough.
They are.
Quit playing in LA. There's the solution.
I think that's it.
They don't have to.
Here's another look at your extended forecast.
It's not the dog days of summer, but it is very nice spring-like weather, 70s and low 80s, overnight lows into the 40s.
If you're just joining us, there's a chance of some late-day thunderstorms for the entire holiday weekend.
Just keep your eyes on the sky if you have outdoor plans.
Thanks, Andy, and thank you for joining us this evening. We'll see you again tomorrow.
Good night.
