[00:00:00]Mike, we'll get back to you. Thank you.

[00:00:02]In local news, one week after massive vandalism forced it to close, the Kinderare Learning Center in West Witchaw is back open. The center sustained more than $100,000 in damage after six young boys ransacked the building. School officials weren't so sure they could get the building open by today, but as News Channel 3's Leon Lee explains, thanks to parents and volunteers, it happened.

[00:00:27]It is quite a contrast to what this place looked like a week ago. There's still the smell of fresh paints. But for the most part, everyone and everything are getting back to normal. And both parents and children are thrilled to be back.

[00:00:38]>> Oh, I'm just delighted. Just delighted to see it back. The kids back in their own home and their own familiar surroundings. And James is really excited to be back here, too.

[00:00:49]>> The return home provided for a festive atmosphere. It was made possible by volunteers who worked frantically over the weekend to get the center reopened.

[00:00:56]>> I think it means a lot. A lot of them were really happy this morning and you know, a lot of our kids have been with us for a long time and I think the kids were just as excited as we were.

[00:01:05]>> I knew here and I haven't I haven't been here much because of what happened to the center.

[00:01:11]>> You give me that yellow.

[00:01:12]>> And what happened to the center was nearly total devastation. Not everyone was sure it could reopen this quickly.

[00:01:19]>> It did not look good. They did a good job putting this back together, didn't they?

[00:01:23]>> Yeah. And they even bought us new toys, and I really liked it.

[00:01:28]>> Not everything is complete. More supplies need to be ordered. There's no carpet, stove, or refrigerator.

[00:01:35]>> But still, the kids are here right now.

[00:01:37]That seems to be all that matters in Witchah. Leon Lebo, News Channel 3.

[00:01:42]>> No charges yet filed against the four 10-year-olds involved in the vandalism.

[00:01:46]The other two boys are not old enough to face charges. In national news, the Clinton healthc care reform controversy has thrown Medicare into the middle of the battle. And many senior citizens groups are becoming more and more concerned. As part of the plan, $35 billion in Medicare funds would be cut while still another alternative would put caps on entitlements such as Social Security and Medicaid. Either way, it's an attack on the elderly. According to one group, >> it's flawed. Band-aids won't stop the hemorrhaging.

[00:02:18]We can't solve America's health care crisis with additional Medicare and Medicaid cuts.

[00:02:26]That will only shift more of the cost burden to beneficiaries, businesses, and also to states.

[00:02:34]>> The American Association of Retired Persons says cuts in Medicare would put the program and national healthc care reform in jeopardy. It appears the president is ready to nominate his current Secretary of the Interior to the Supreme Court. Sources in Washington say Mr. Clinton has been consulting by phone regarding the possible nomination of Bruce Babbot. The Interior Department says the FBI has been conducting its background check of Babbot since the weekend. Well, public schools must open their doors to religious groups. That's what the nation's highest court ruled today, saying groups must be allowed in after for after hours meetings as long as non-religious groups are allowed to use the buildings. News Channel 3 Skip Loger explains what that means for schools nationwide.

[00:03:21]In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court ruled that if public school districts allow some groups >> allegiance to the flag, >> like the Cub Scouts, the Girl Scouts, or the Cancer Society to meet in public school buildings after hours, then religious groups must be allowed to do the same thing. This case will have very widespread impact on all kinds of practices uh across the country concerning what can be done with school grounds after hours. And it is a a tremendous concern because here's all this property uh meeting rooms, buildings, uh they're there unused after hours.

[00:04:04]The case involved the Lamb's Chapel Church on Long Island, which asked to show a film to the general public in a public school room.

[00:04:12]>> Turn your heart.

[00:04:17]>> The school district said no.

[00:04:19]>> A number of people in any community might see their own public funds being used to promote a religion which they were not interested in promoting.

[00:04:26]>> Nothing in life matters except love for God. Keeping the church out, some claim was discrimination.

[00:04:34]>> The school makes its facilities available to some of those groups, but not others. That's the government violating free speech.

[00:04:40]>> And the Supreme Court agreed, ruling that while school districts can bar all groups from using public school facilities after hours, once they open the doors, they have to be open for all groups, even religious ones.

[00:04:55]>> If they let this group meet, they've got to let every other group meet. In Washington, I'm Skip Loer. News Channel 3 First News.

[00:05:03]>> Also today, the Supreme Court let stand a ruling that allows studentled prayer graduation ceremonies in some states.

[00:05:10]But the American Civil Liberties Union says it will continue to fight the ruling. Residents of a small North Carolina town are struggling to cope with the murders of three people. Their bodies found in a tiny grocery store.

[00:05:22]Two men and a woman were found shot and stabbed while in the store last night.

[00:05:26]Three others also suffered gunshot and stab wounds. One of the victims had his throat slashed. Authorities say robbery appears to be the motive for the violence. No suspects are in custody and the investigation goes on. A California lawyer says he'll try to prove his client was temporarily insane when she allegedly shot the man accused of molesting her son. Ellie Nestler today pleaded innocent by reason of insanity to the April shooting death of Daniel Mark Driver. Driver was gunned down in a courtroom during his preliminary hearing. That court appearance was to determine whether he would stand trial for allegedly molesting Nestler's 11-year-old son.

[00:06:05]Stranded students, hundreds of them, have a beef with a Boston travel agency today. That's because a Massachusetts company left them high and dry less than 24 hours before they were scheduled to board a plane for Paris. The travel agency that booked their trip and scheduled overseas trips for students in at least 19 other states went belly up and that left thousands of students with their bags packed but with nowhere to go. Still to come here on First News, Mike's back with more on our weather.

[00:06:32]We'll find out how much longer the severe threat will be around. So, we'll be back in a moment.

[00:06:41]We saw that we could move the windshield forward on a sedan and reduce wind noise while increasing visibility. We saw that moving the wheels toward the corners would result in greater stability and more passenger room. We saw that this cab forward design is not only more aerodynamic, it looks like nothing else on the road. And now that we've seen what's possible in a four-door sedan, we can't see building one any other way.

[00:07:07]Intrepid. This changes everything.

[00:07:11]>> Additives. Everybody knows less is better, right? But experts now say one additive is actually good. Good for your car, that is. Introducing Dupont XVP 2000. The additive now found in all grades of KICO unled. XVP keeps your fuel system so clean, our gasolines are 100% guaranteed against fuel related engine problems.

[00:07:33]So, what's good about additives? XVP.

[00:07:36]It's new. It's guaranteed and it's from Kico, the hottest brand going.

[00:07:56]>> Come join us for the best seven days in the West.

[00:07:58]>> Nebraska Land Days in North Plat, June 15th through the 21st. Two big shows, Kenny Rogers with John Michael Montgomery and Diamond Real. Four nights of PRTACA rodeo featuring the top named cowboys and cowg girls in the nation.

[00:08:21]>> Nebraska Land Days, June 15th through the 21st. North Flat.

[00:08:26]>> Get that windshield replaced or repaired. Have Craig or Russ with Autoglass Express fix it.

[00:08:52]Autoglass Express North Highway 83 and O Mcook.

[00:09:04]Back again. Here's Mike. There are 90 mph winds are there about >> Abene. Yeah. And did some damage in the Abene area. Had scattered reports of le lighter damage in Sumar County and up around Manhattan and Fort Riley. So, it's been a busy day. Oh, yeah. Let's take a look at our current conditions.

[00:09:20]And you can see through the legs of our cloud camera the thunderstorms over eastern Butler and Greenwood County.

[00:09:27]They tower 55,000 ft above the ground.

[00:09:30]But in Witchah we have a sunny sky.

[00:09:31]Temperature 80. Due points dried out to 59. Humidity 49%. Pressure continuing to fall at 2962. Our wind south at 21 miles an hour. And if we take a look at temperatures across the state, 92 degrees in the dry air at Medicine Lodge, 90 in the dry air at Hutchinson.

[00:09:48]But we have the more humid air over Witchah. That's why we are cooler. 87° in Salina, only 75° in Goodland. We still have a tornado watch in effect from Sedwick and Sar counties northeast to the Nebraska border. This in effect until 8:00 this evening. Our satellite photograph shows a huge complex of thunderstorms that developed over the upper Midwest this morning and caused more than 5 inches of rain and flooding in the Chicago area. Meanwhile, strong thunderstorms have developed over northeast, south central Kansas and southwestern Oklahoma. Let's take a look at the NEXRAD from the National Weather Service at Mid-Continent Airport. And we can show you the strong thunderstorm that is now in the uh Eureka area moving toward the northeast and still has the potential to cause damaging winds as well as large hail. So folks in Greenwood County should be prepared for severe weather. thunderstorm with possible gusty winds and small hail is now located from Smileyberg to just east of Leyon and Bowmont moving toward the northeast toward Greenwood County. A developing severe thunderstorm is northeast of Enid. We'll have to keep an eye on that in case it should cross the border uh toward 6:00 and then strong thunderstorms are in northeastern Kansas. But this is the front and you can see the front's actually creeping to the west just to the west of Witchah.

[00:11:06]And as long as the front is to our west, there's still at least a chance that thunderstorms will redevelop in our area. So, let's take a look at our forecast for the state of Kansas tonight. Scattered thunderstorms, some of which could be strong from South Central to eastern Kansas. Partly cloudy skies in north central and northeastern Kansas. Uh low temperatures tonight from 47° at Oberlin to 67 at Chinut, Kansas City, 64 in Witchah. Tomorrow, look for scattered thunderstorms again in South Central and eastern Kansas. Partly cloudy in the north and west. Highs from 71 in Overberland to 85 at Chinutan, Kansas City, 82 for Witchah. And we now have a severe thunderstorm warning till 6:00 for eastern Greenwood County. Folks in Utopia, Hamilton, Virgil, and Ton uh should seek shelter as this storm could produce 70 mph winds and large hail.

[00:11:56]>> That's a lot of wind. Thanks, Mike.

[00:11:59]Still to come, we'll go live to Omaha to see if the bad weather will have any effect on the College World Series. And we'll tell you about a rare opportunity for doctors and researchers in Witchah, our Healthy Report, and much more coming up.

[00:12:18]When's the best time to buy a car?

[00:12:20]Summertime. And where's the best place to buy? Davis Moore. Where else? During their money-saving June sellathon, you can get the new car you've had your eye on. America's most popular cars and trucks at red hot sellon prices. All backed by award-winning service crews and master technicians. Visit any of the 12 Davis More locations this month for hot sellon deals. And see what a difference a dealership can make.

[00:12:46]Europe is at a crossroad. What some believe to be its finest hour has become a nightmare for others. While diplomats and politicians looked for answers to Europe's growing problems, Billy Graham went to Germany and with the aid of satellites spoke to the entire continent with a message of hope. You can witness this stirring event on the next Billy Graham special >> tonight at 7 on News Channel 3 and the Kansas State Network.

[00:13:31]Folks, here we have the nationally known Jump King trampoline sold and serviced right here in Mcook, Nebraska, and at a price that everyone can afford. It has a terrific warranty and can be left outdoors all year round. It's fun for the whole family, and it teaches coordination. And 20 minutes on this is the same exercise as 5 miles jogging and doesn't injure the joints. The round shape keeps the jumper in the center. We have these in several sizes and accessories. All this at Echelman's just 3 miles east of Makook on 6 and 34 or call 3083453787.

[00:14:01]Spring showers bring super savings here at Bucky Motors. Hi folks, I'm Jack Donahue. If you're looking for the hard to find Toyota 4x4 trucks, look no further. We have them here like this.

[00:14:11]1989 for $79.95. How about a fully loaded 1983 for 5450. Looking for those extra cabs? A super clean 1984 for 64.50. If you're looking for a newer used car or truck, it's worth a short drive to Mcook to find out why Bucky Motors truly is the home of the better buy.

[00:14:34]The death toll now stands at 8 after a freighter carrying hundreds of Chinese immigrants ran ground yesterday.

[00:14:40]Authorities now believe the ship deliberately ran ground so the aliens could flee to shore under cover of darkness. 280 of them were rescued and today boarded buses bound for detention centers. Others remain hospitalized for exposure and minor injuries. Many are asking for political asylum. 10 days after the torching deaths of five Turkish immigrants, arsonists in Germany have launched more attacks. Police suspect the latest attacks are the work of extreme writers. They say two baby carriages were set ablaze at one home and a rocking horse was torched at another. There was only one minor injury in the incidents.

[00:15:17]Even though European studies indicate it doesn't delay the onset of the AIDS virus, the US says it will continue to prescribe the drug for patients. A leading American AIDS researcher at the international conference in Berlin said other studies suggest ACT is effective especially if used in the early stages of the deadly disease.

[00:15:38]Well, there was quite an unusual conference in Witchah this weekend and St. Joseph Medical Center brought in 22 brains to help out. This is the real thing, the gray matter. Real brains were used to teach professionals who work with head injuries. But as HealthBeat reporter Debbie Bush tells us, there were others who were interested.

[00:16:00]>> Last month, Witchin Shannon Hilbert met President Clinton. Shannon has come a long way after a severe brain injury left her in a coma.

[00:16:07]>> This is a human brain and as you can see, it's been fixed and it's a little bit more solid than it would be uh in the human body. It's more like jello-.

[00:16:16]>> This weekend, Shannon went to a conference where she was able to understand more about her injury from a real brain. on my right functions were paralyzed. Right. So my my arm I had trouble with my arm >> getting it to move.

[00:16:32]>> That's exactly right. The reason for that is that everything on the left side of the brain controls the right side of the body.

[00:16:40]>> Everything on the right side of the brain controls the left side of the body.

[00:16:43]>> Now I've just taken this brain and cut it in half and we can see the medial surface of the brain. This portion back here is where you see if there's damage to this region. Uh there are cells in here that help maintain consciousness or keep you awake. And >> that's why I was putting a com.

[00:16:59]>> Right. Exactly. You had sufficient damage to your brain stem and the cells within here that help you maintain consciousness that their activity was depressed and you end up going into a coma as a result of that.

[00:17:10]>> Medical students do don't even usually have this opportunity. They watch a prosection which is where the instructor does it and they just observe. So this is something that a lot of medical students don't even have the chance to participate in.

[00:17:20]>> The conference was for people who work with brain injuries, but even for those nonprofessionals, it was a rare opportunity to see what's really in the most mysterious part of the body, the brain. On the Healthbeat, Debbie Bush, News Channel 3, Witchah, >> the 22 brains were donated by the University of Kansas School of Medicine in Kansas City. Well, now for a look at some of the things we're working on for six, straight to John Holt. John >> Rose coming up tonight at 6. This is the eve of a major school vote in Derby. The school district there wants to increase its budget. Some school district residents don't want increased taxes. A classic tax showdown and we'll have a preview as the vote is tomorrow. A national survey of Boeing workers about how they feel about their jobs and their managers yields some interesting results. And on the money cast, can you sue if you're bumped off that flight?

[00:18:09]We'll tell you what one court says.

[00:18:11]That's coming up at 6. But first, a look at what's ahead at 5:30.

[00:18:15]I'm Stone Phillips. Your neighborhood could be hazardous to your health.

[00:18:18]>> My respiratory system was very seriously burned uh by chemicals.

[00:18:23]>> No matter where you live in cities or towns, pollution may threaten your family with serious health problems.

[00:18:29]>> Since I've been out here, my asthma has come back up, has started aggravating me. My face, my lips started swelling.

[00:18:36]>> Who's most at risk? The answer may surprise you. America Closeup on NBC Nightly News tonight.

[00:18:43]Well, the Shocks are up in Omaha, ready to uh swing the bat, crack the ball.

[00:18:46]About 11 minutes or so.

[00:18:47]>> Well, actually an hour and 11 minutes because it's 6:30 they begin, but we're going to start our hype in about 2 minutes because we kind of like just talking about the Shockers at Omaha. We will take you back to the Diamond up in Rosenlat when we come back.

[00:19:05]>> You know what they say about this new Lincoln Mark 8. Drive everything else first. Well, guess what? I did. And there is no comparison. Not only does Mark 8 look fast, it is fast. And this new wraparound interior, it's nothing less than incredible. Go ahead, drive everything else first, then Mark. But not this one. This one's mine. Lincoln Mark at your Lincoln Mercury dealer.

[00:19:34]Now, >> when vacationing in Branson, start your morning in Mutton Hollow with our allnew Chuck Wagon Breakfast and Vaudeville show. Then you can walk Mutton Hollow's Flowerline streets and watch demonstrations from our master craftsman. Visit our unique shops or enjoy the 40 shows that go on all day in our five theaters. Live entertainment, crafts, shopping, and dining, all set in the natural beauty of the Ozarks. Start your morning in Mutton Hollow.

[00:19:58]>> Start your morning.

[00:20:02]You want to stay all day >> in Branson, Missouri.

[00:20:19]Quality Productions in cooperation with the Oberlin Lions Club, Overland Rotary, and Overland American Legion invite you to a salute to veterans, the Greater Midwest Military Memorabilia Show, June 12th and 13th from 10il 4 both days.

[00:20:30]Events include restored military vehicles, USO show reenactments, programs on World War II and the Persian Gulf, Living Veterans Memorial Museum from Texas, and free Sunday morning breakfast for festival button holders.

[00:20:41]Festival buttons are $5 for adults, kids 6 to 12, 250, and are good for the whole weekend. That's June 12th and 13th at the Gateway in Oberlin.

[00:20:50]Boy, it sure doesn't take long before those repair bills mean you're paying for a new car and driving an old one. A new late model vehicle from Cup Motor Company means every day there's less to pay. See this 1985 Mercury Cougar, a locally owned two-door loaded with equipment. Inspect this 88 Ford Tempo GL with 5-speed, lots of options, and specially priced at $39.95. And be sure to ask about this 92 Ford Thunderbird loaded and ready to move. Buy at home where service counts and you'll agree.

[00:21:14]If your car, truck, or van doesn't have this on it, you probably drove too far.

[00:21:20]About you folks, but it seems to me the shocks have been up in Omaha at the College World Series for weeks now. But in reality, the guys have yet to even play their second game at the CWS. That event though comes later tonight as the Shockers take on Texas. It is a biggie for many reasons. That is why we now go live to our friend Steve Dennis. Steve, help us out. Get us in the mood on the shocks and the horns. Will you, bud?

[00:21:42]>> Well, Shay, first of all, if it seems long to you, imagine how long it seems to us.

[00:21:46]>> Really, >> it does seem like a long time to only play one game. First thing we got to do is get you caught up on the weather. We are under a tornado watch up here in Omaha till 8:00 they tell us. But it looks like it's better than we thought.

[00:21:57]It's sunny right now and I'm doing weather here. Uh it all it all missed us to the east right now. So the Shocker game looks like it's in better shape than we thought it would be. Now the Shockers are in a great position to get to 2 and 0 against Texas tonight. That would be a sweet position here in the College World Series. Or would it be?

[00:22:14]Now they've been 2 and 0 twice before in 88 and 91. Didn't win it in 1989 when they won it all. They lost their second game to Florida State. Something about the matchup tonight makes us flash back to that magical year.

[00:22:29]>> Texas and Witchah State at the CWS.

[00:22:32]Seems like we've been here before, huh?

[00:22:42]>> I don't remember that one. When was that? I'd like to forget it. But, uh, Witchaw State's very competitive.

[00:22:48]They're always well coached and uh again it's a case of us meeting an old adversary.

[00:22:55]>> Well, I only wish it were the same circumstances. We're playing them to the national championship and see what happens.

[00:23:01]>> This time it's just another game along the trail to a possible championship. Or is it? After all, Texas is one of the bigger names in this game, making its 17th appearance here.

[00:23:13]>> I'm trying not to think about that. You know, sure they're a big team. the, you know, like you said, the Celtics of college baseball, whatever. But, uh, they're they're, you know, 19, 20 year olds just like we are. They're no different. Just pitch my strength. You know, it'll be all right.

[00:23:27]>> Freshman Woff will start for the Shockers and we'll have to worry mostly about baseball America's most outstanding player, Brooks Kishnik. His 376 batting average, 19 homers, and 80 runs batted in are impressive. But like most of the Longhorn's better hitters, he hits from the left side. The lefty Woff has been nasty to lefty hitters.

[00:23:49]When you ask the Longhorns about a Witchah State, you get the same answer you'd get from any team up here. They feel the pressure to score early.

[00:23:57]>> Show they have some great relief pitching and uh Dryford and Blumis. So, you know, I think we need to try to get in their pen early and not let them get late in the game where they can bring those guys in.

[00:24:07]>> Everybody keeps talking about the bullpen, but Brley was sharp in game one. Everybody expects Wyoff to be in game two. We'll talk more about Travis Woff at 6:00. Shave.

[00:24:16]>> All right. Thanks, Steve. By the way, Rose wants to know what you got on your shirt there. Those little little little birds or what?

[00:24:22]>> What? Oh, I don't know. Little little little paint, art, something. I thought you meant mustard or something.

[00:24:27]>> Well, it could be that, too. That's not what you were talking about, Rose, was it? Okay. See you at six there, Steve.

[00:24:32]As you know, KU ousted from the series yesterday, but we still have some good Jay-Hawk athletic words to pass along tonight. that involves the hoop team and Witchah native Steve Woodbury. The KU6 man has won something called the Billy Baseline Award. It's an honor given out in Kansas City to unheralded players who devote money hours to make their team successful. Wood certainly fits that criteria. The award associated with the National Coaches Organization. Now, another athlete from our region taking aim at a world title tonight in the boxing ring. Tommy Morrison, who has fought in Witchah and calls Kansas City home, will battle the hefty one, George Foreman, for the WBO heavyweight title.

[00:25:11]If Tommy wins, he should give some credit to Foreman who gave him some pointers a couple years back.

[00:25:16]>> And uh he gave us some some u exercises to go through, you know, running longer longer distances, going on hour runs, 10 mile runs, going instead sort of three-minute rounds, go six minute rounds, eight minute rounds to where you get to know your limits as a fighter.

[00:25:28]Everyone has limits and everyone's limits are different. Once you get to know him, then you you know when to turn it on, when to turn it off, when you're going over your limits and when you're not.

[00:25:35]>> Morrison is favored tonight. Hey, the new main man to beat in golf is this guy, Paul Azinger. The Sandman has jumped to the top of the PGA money standings thanks to that shot and the $252,000 he won with that shot at the Memorial.

[00:25:50]Azinger now over the $6 million mark in career earnings. And just in Rose, former KU basketball coach Larry Brown has a new job in the NBA. We'll talk about that at 6. Plus, we'll figure out what that is on Steve's shirt.

[00:26:03]>> Oh, okay. We'll have an answer to that.

[00:26:05]>> Yeah. Yeah. I think it's ketchup instead of mustard.

[00:26:07]>> Could be. Just spray it all over. Right.

[00:26:09]Thanks, Clark. Still to come on First News, a superhero is coming home. We'll tell you how one Illinois town is welcoming the man of steel in a moment.

[00:26:22]>> America's most award-winning car is now America's number one car, Ford Taurus.

[00:26:27]So, how do you get to be number one? by keeping up with the needs and wants of our toughest critics, you. That's why Taurus now offers standard drivers and optional passenger side airbags and available anti-lock brakes. Plus, right now, you can lease a Taurus for just $2.69 a month for 24 months. It's all part of our commitment to quality, safety, value, and you get the number one Taurus. Proof that we're not satisfied unless you're satisfied.
