[Oprah Winfrey] The other people here didn't do it

0:03

to be a hero,

0:04

but did it because it was a burning building

0:05

and that was the thing to do.

0:08

-

Right, to me he saved my life.

0:09

If it weren't for him going in that building,

0:12

the firefighters wouldn't go in.

0:13

They already said it was too late.

0:15

If it weren't for him I wouldn't be here.

0:17

[Oprah Winfrey] Thank you all heroes,

Agnes DeRouen

OJ Simpson pleads not guilty

1:31

and adds a new defense attorney today.

1:33

Bill Leger

Also today,

1:36

Eunice police are accusing this man

1:37

of raping a 12 year old girl.

1:38

-

In medical news,

1:41

some believe a helmet could help

1:42

some folks kick the smoking habit.

1:43

Good afternoon everyone, I'm Agnes DeRouen.

1:47

-

And I'm Bill Leger. Thank you for joining us today.

1:48

The stage has been set

1:51

for one of the most watched trials in history.

1:52

OJ Simpson pled not guilty to murder charges today

1:54

in a Los Angeles superior court.

1:57

-

Simpson is accused of the brutal slayings of his ex-wife,

1:59

Nicole Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman.

2:02

A Los Angeles Superior Court judge has been named

2:04

to preside at that trial

2:06

and Gary Shepherd has more on today's arraignment

2:07

in this report.

2:09

-

Mr. Simpson, you are charged in information BA 97 211

2:11

in count one with the crime of murder

2:16

and that it alleges that you did

2:19

with malice of forethought murder Nicole Brown Simpson.

2:22

Gary Shepherd

Then Judge Cecil Mills

2:26

asked the football legend

2:28

to announce his plea.

2:29

-

How do you plead to count one and two?

2:30

Simpson

I plead 100% not guilty.

2:34

Mills

And do you deny each of the special allegations

2:35

and the special circumstance that is alleged?

2:39

Simpson

Yes.

2:41

Mills

Thank you.

Gary Shepherd

Simpson appeared more confident

2:43

than in previous court appearances.

2:45

Veteran Judge Lance Ito has been assigned to the case.

2:47

He presided at the trial of savings and loan executive,

2:51

Charles Keating, and sent him to prison for 12 years.

2:54

Judge Mills asked both sides

2:57

if there were objections to Ito being the trial judge

2:59

since he is married to a Los Angeles police captain.

3:02

-

Ito is a choice that is acceptable, Judge.

3:06

Gary Shepherd

High profile attorney Johnny Cochran,

3:10

who has recently represented Michael Jackson,

3:12

is now on the defense team and appeared in court today.

3:15

Crowd

Remember, no victim.

3:18

Remember, no victim.

3:21

-

Out front, a huge crowd of spectators

3:23

plus one group of demonstrators against spousal abuse.

3:25

And there were entrepreneurs

3:29

selling everything from OJ t-shirts

3:31

to OJ trading cards and autographs.

3:33

The next hearing in this case will be one week from today

3:37

when a trial date might be announced.

3:40

It could start as early as September 20th.

3:42

Gary Shepherd, ABC News, Los Angeles.

3:45

Agnes DeRouen

Now for some local news.

3:49

For the second time in two days child molesting

3:50

makes the news in Acadiana.

3:52

Eunice police have charged a 24 year old man

3:54

with aggravated rape

3:56

and oral sexual battery of a 12 year old.

3:57

Police say Russell Fontano was arrested

4:00

after the young woman came forward with her claims.

4:02

And police say according to her,

4:04

the assaults had been taking place for almost two years.

4:06

Interviewee

He was a friend of the family

4:12

and when the mother had to go out of town

4:15

or go shopping or some where,

4:17

she'd leave the kid with these people.

4:19

And when the man's wife wasn't home,

4:23

that's when he'd take advantage of the little girl and.

4:27

-

A district judge denied bond for Fontano today.

4:32

Eunice Police say this isn't the first time

4:34

this man has been arrested on rape charges.

4:36

Last year, a 19 year old filed rape charges against him,

4:38

but later dropped those charges.

4:41

Bill Leger

Funeral services

4:43

will be held tomorrow in Hammond

4:44

for the 22-month old Livingston Parish toddler

4:46

who was found slain two days ago.

4:48

Authorities have arrested the woman

4:50

who was babysitting Matthew Populis when he disappeared

4:52

one week ago.

4:54

Officials have booked 31 year old Evelyn McKnight

4:56

with obstruction of justice.

4:58

Officials say she knew the child had been killed,

4:59

but failed to tell authorities.

5:02

McKnight's boyfriend has been charged

5:04

with murdering the child.

5:05

Now tonight at six o'clock on Action 3 News,

5:07

Matthew's mother, Robin,

5:09

speaks out for the first time

5:10

since her little boy was murdered.

5:12

Agnes DeRouen

Turning to other news,

5:15

the St. Landry Parish police jury may be bowing

5:16

to public pressure over an automobile user fee.

5:18

As we told you earlier this month,

5:21

the jury passed the fee without any citizen's input,

5:23

but they've gotten plenty of input since.

5:26

And as Anne Meyers tells us,

5:28

there's now a move underway to rescind the fee.

5:29

Anne Meyers

It looks like the automobile user fee

5:33

isn't going over too big in St. Landry Parish.

5:35

Last week the police jury passed a $30 charge

5:38

on private vehicles and up to 60 on commercial.

5:42

Interviewee 2

I think it is a rip off, you know.

5:46

I really don't believe in paying taxes for that.

5:48

-

[Nelson Foret: Eunice Resident] Yeah,

5:50

it's a regular ripoff.

5:51

What do you think we are?

5:52

We don't have each in our wealth.

5:54

Anne Meyers

The money is slated for road repairs.

5:57

Jury members passed the fee on an eight to five vote,

5:59

but they didn't ask for any public input.

6:02

Jury president Red Bihm voted against the fee

6:05

and says he's hearing plenty from residents now.

6:08

-

[Red Bihm: Police Jury President] Oh my God,

6:11

I bet you I've had 500 or better calls.

6:12

And not a one of 'em for it.

6:16

Anne Meyers

Bihm has called

6:17

a special meeting for Tuesday

6:18

in the hopes that jury members will change their minds

6:20

and rescind the fee.

6:23

Nelson Foret

They better rescind

6:24

or they can kiss the election goodbye coming.

6:25

That's the way it's going to be.

6:29

Anne Meyers

In Eunice, Anne Meyers, KATC Action 3 News.

6:32

Alice DeRouen

And that special meeting

6:37

is set for one o'clock on Tuesday

6:38

at the St. Landry Parish courthouse.

6:39

Bill Leger

Lafayette Mayor Kenny Bowen has appointed

6:42

his fourth acting director of the utilities department.

6:43

Bowen has asked the City Council

6:46

to approve a contract for A. Troy Donauer

6:48

He is from Tucson, Arizona

6:50

and currently works for another utilities company.

6:52

Bowen wants the council to pay Donauer $45,000

6:54

for a six month term.

6:58

This move is an unexpected one

7:00

since Bowen had just named another acting director,

7:01

Warren Alvarado just 10 days ago.

7:04

Bowen says he is considering appointing Donauer

7:06

as a permanent director.

7:09

Alice DeRouen

Crowley Mayor Robert East announced today

7:12

he is running for reelection.

7:14

During a press conference at Crowley City Hall,

7:15

Mayor East commended his administration

7:17

for a job well done during his past term.

7:19

Robert East

The financial handling,

7:23

certainly I am real proud to see that

7:24

I've had a real good working staff

7:26

and department heads that have helped try to

7:29

certainly spend the dollars that we have,

7:33

tax dollars that we have from the citizens

7:35

as wisely as we possibly can.

7:37

We have done well in that respect, but-

7:39

Alice DeRouen

And the mayor says

7:43

his future plans for the city include

7:44

improving the condition of the city's streets

7:45

and expanding the city's boundaries.

7:47

Bill Leger

Checking national news,

7:49

the US military is setting up an airlift to fly medicine

7:50

and supplies to Rwanda.

7:53

President Clinton has ordered an around the clock airlift

7:55

to refugee camps battling starvation and deadly disease.

7:58

The US wants to establish a safe water supply

8:01

to ward off the cholera plague that is sweeping the country.

8:04

Clinton is calling it the worst humanitarian crisis

8:07

in a generation.

8:10

He says the crisis is claiming one life per minute.

8:11

Now if any of you are interested in helping out

8:15

those in Rwanda,

8:17

the American Red Cross has established a relief drive.

8:18

You can either write to the address you see on your screen

8:21

or simply dial 1-800-842-2200.

8:23

And another group collecting supplies to airlift to Rwanda

8:28

is Americares as you can contact them by calling

8:31

1-800-486-HELP.

8:34

And if you need to get that number again,

8:37

just give us a call here at TV 3.

8:38

Well, turning to weather now,

8:41

let's hope the weather is going to be

8:41

a little better this weekend than it was today.

8:43

Alice DeRouen

That's right.

8:45

It's pretty dreary out there.

8:46

Ron, what's going on?

8:47

Ron Krasuski

It is dreary out there

8:48

and it's cloudy and radar is very active.

8:50

Now for the weekend,

8:53

as expected yesterday we have one good day.

8:53

That is going to be Sunday when rain chances are slight,

8:56

but tomorrow looks like another healthy rain chance

8:59

in the forecast.

9:01

I'll show you that weekend forecast

9:02

and a look at Hurricane Emily coming up soon.

9:03

Emilia. Emilia. It's Emilia.

9:06

Bill Leger

Thank you. Thanks for clarifying that Ron.

9:09

Well, in other news today the term Jim Crow

9:11

dates back to the early 1800s.

9:14

It was used, among other things,

9:16

to describe segregated facilities in the north

9:18

before the Civil War.

9:20

Alice DeRouen

Well, now it's also the name of

9:21

an in-depth project currently being conducted by

9:22

Duke University students.

9:25

Three students will be in New Iberia

9:26

for the next couple of weeks

9:27

to put together a project they call "Behind The Veil:

9:28

Documenting African-American Life in the Jim Crow South."

9:31

-

[Felix Armfield: Duke University] This project,

9:36

it's all about, is hopefully

9:36

we're gonna document in primary sources

9:37

through all interviews the life

9:40

and existence of those African-Americans

9:42

who remained in the South,

9:44

from the period of about 1900

9:47

up until about approximately 1960.

9:49

But we know that although legal segregation ended in 1954,

9:52

that did not necessarily remove Jim Crow

9:56

from all parts of the south.

9:58

Agnes DeRouen

And that documentary crew

10:01

will be in New Iberia

10:02

through August 13th.

10:03

If you'd like more information,

10:04

you can call Felix Armfield at 367-3211

10:05

and that is extension 105.

10:08

-

Well, coming up, you'll like this one.

10:11

Another one of those stories that Agnes

10:13

and other animal lovers just can't pass up.

10:15

-

It's about a cat and a monkey

10:17

and the friendship they've begun.

10:18

That's when we come back.

Bill Leger

Ron Krasuski Weather Forecast has received

12:16

the American Meteorological Society's

12:18

broadcast seal of approval.

12:19

-

Well, you know, it's very difficult

12:22

and I know Ron just wants to say Emily so bad

12:23

'cause it's spelled like that E M I L I.

12:26

It's tough, yeah.

12:27

-

It's almost as difficult as, you know,

12:28

thank goodness it's not named Krasuski.

12:30

-

Oh, no. Well you know,

12:32

no one would know how to spell it.

12:34

-

A nice Crowley Cajun name, right?

12:35

-

Krasuski, that's right.

12:37

(Agnes laughs)

Pity on a name.

12:39

-

Yeah, you know,

the weekend, Agnes and Bill,

12:40

the weekend is just about here

12:41

and it looks like we're gonna see a decent weekend,

12:42

especially as we head on into Sunday.

12:44

For tomorrow, we're gonna see less of rain chance

12:47

as we saw today.

12:49

As a matter of fact,

12:50

today I think just about everybody did see rain.

12:51

And it continues to rain.

12:53

Radar is very active and with the rain, the clouds,

12:54

the temperatures are cool.

12:57

77 degrees is our current temperature.

12:59

The dew point and the relative humidity are both high.

13:01

And we have a wind out of the south at 10 miles per hour.

13:04

We do have one warm or hot temperature on the map.

13:07

And that is coming in out of Shreveport where it is 91.

13:10

It's 87 in Monroe and in Alexandria.

13:13

83 in Lake Charles.

13:16

Speaking of Lake Charles,

13:17

let's go ahead and look at radar

13:18

and we are indicating a lot of rain as a matter of fact.

13:19

From about Carencro to Church Point,

13:22

probably rain in Crowley and then the rain extends westward,

13:25

just west of Lake Charles.

13:29

All that you see here is moving basically toward the east.

13:30

So we are not out of the woods yet.

13:34

We do have more rain on the way tonight.

13:36

And as a matter of fact, for tomorrow as well.

13:38

Looking at a wider picture

13:40

and putting the clouds also into the picture,

13:41

we are noticing widespread rain from,

13:43

whoa, the central Mississippi Valley

13:46

all the way down into Lake Charles

13:47

and parts of Houston seeing some rain.

13:49

And all of this, once again, is moving toward the east.

13:51

It is all in association with a cold front.

13:55

Now the cold front is basically a line

13:58

between two air masses, warm and humid

14:01

and drier and a bit cooler.

14:04

And we're not gonna see any cooler or drier air

14:06

because the front is basically gonna wash out.

14:08

The southern extent of the front

14:11

is basically gonna wash out.

14:12

Now up north,

14:14

yeah, they're gonna see some nice cool air up in the,

14:14

let's say the middle Atlantic states in the northern plains,

14:17

in the Great Lakes, but for us,

14:19

no real change in the air mass.

14:21

So therefore we will be looking for more showers

14:23

and thunderstorms in the forecast

14:25

for your Saturday afternoon.

14:27

Once again, I do think Sunday

14:29

will be the better of the two days

14:30

when rain chances will be a little less

14:32

than they will be on Saturday.

14:34

With the lack of precipitation and the increased sunshine,

14:36

well, temperatures are gonna warm up rather dramatically.

14:39

We've been in the eighties

14:41

or upper eighties or low nineties,

14:42

just about all week long.

14:44

Tomorrow probably about 92 or 93 degrees while

14:45

back to the west portions of southeastern Oklahoma

14:49

and around the Dallas, Fort Worth, Texas area

14:51

temperatures will be well into the 100s.

14:54

Overnight, a good rain chance at 50%.

14:57

76 the overnight low temperature,

14:59

but it will warm tomorrow.

15:00

Lots of sunshine and heat, 92 the afternoon high.

15:02

Once again a good rain chance of 50%.

15:05

For Sunday, only a 30% rain chance.

15:08

And look at the high.

15:10

94 degrees as the afternoon high.

15:11

Monday, not a bad day either.

15:13

93 the afternoon high,

15:15

but Tuesday and Wednesday rain will become likely.

15:16

A 40% rain chance on Thursday.

15:20

So decent looking forecast for the weekend,

15:23

especially on Sunday

15:25

when the rain chances will be about 30%.

15:27

-

Now Ron, you should have had a better forecast

15:30

'cause you know this is Bill's last day here.

15:32

-

It is, Ron. I expected a little more.

15:34

-

Big sad face for that.

15:35

-

No.

It's kind of dreary because Bill's going to Beaumont.

15:37

But you know, -

15:39

-

Yeah, I'm gonna be taking a job at KFDM TV

15:40

in Beaumont, Texas, but-

15:43

Ron

Don't go, Bill.

-

Don't go, Bill.

15:45

-

We'll talk more about that at six.

15:46

But one thing I will always remember about Agnes DeRouen,

15:47

and somebody correct me in here if I'm wrong,

15:50

is that she is a big animal lover.

15:52

She loves cats. Am I right?

15:54

-

Right.

15:56

-

We're right.

-

We're right.

15:57

-

So this next story

is right up your alley.

15:58

-

That's right. It's about furry, cuddly, lovable animals.

15:59

And Bill, we have, really this is a good one.

16:01

It's about monkey business.

16:04

Call it the odd couple,

16:05

but it seems a Sri Lanka cat has befriended a local monkey.

16:06

The two share a home and monkey around quite a bit.

16:09

They're rarely apart

16:12

and they really enjoy hanging out together literally.

16:13

In fact, the monkey will soon take the cat up into the tree

16:17

and try to jump the trees with the kitty and-

16:21

Bill Leger

Oh.

16:24

Agnes DeRouen

Ah, you see.

There you see 'em.

16:26

You had to see this because-

16:26

Bill Leger

My money's on the cat.

16:27

Agnes DeRouen

Oh, it looks like the

16:29

monkey's winning out, Bill.

16:29

Look. There it goes, okay.

16:32

There it is.

16:34

Bill Leger

A good claw in the face and-

16:34

-

Okay. Now where will you find that ever again?

16:36

-

I don't know where you find it.

16:37

You find it.

16:39

-

That's right, Bill.

You're gonna miss me.

16:40

-

Every day.

-

I know.

16:41

-

Yeah.

I don't think they'll have someone like that

16:42

that can find stuff like that.

16:43

-

I know.

16:44

-

Well, coming up,

if you're still wondering

16:46

about the fat content of Mexican food,

16:47

well, we'll have an update on its nutritional value.

16:49

-

And if you're looking for an innovative way

16:51

to kick the smoking habit,

16:53

have we got a story for you.

16:54

Stay with us.

Mr. Chairman, I'm not here merely to remind you that

17:02

Lincoln Mercury dealers are selling more cars than you are.

17:05

I'm here to blame you.

17:08

-

Maybe if you made quality cars like Lincoln Mercury,

17:10

we'd be able to match their summer deals.

17:13

Right guys?

17:15

Announcer

The Lincoln Mercury summer sales drive

17:18

is on now.

17:19

With great deals across the board

17:20

and a great luxury of choice

17:22

with generous values available on all Lincolns.

17:24

-

Any more questions?

17:27

Announcer

See your Lincoln Mercury dealer today.

17:29

When it comes to insurance,

17:33

what would make your life easier?

17:35

-

We're on our own now.

17:37

-

We need someone to help us get started.

17:38

-

You need to find someone

17:40

who will take a personal interest in you.

17:41

Your needs will be changing through the years

17:44

and your coverage should change with you.

17:45

Look for someone who can provide auto, home,

17:48

and life insurance.

17:50

It's more convenient and you'll get better value.

17:51

So where do you start?

17:54

You look in the phone book under Farm Bureau.

17:55

Announcer

For an insurance plan

17:57

that will last a lifetime.

17:58

Helping you is what we do best.

-

We challenge any other dealer in Acadiana

18:28

But hurry, Hub City's Escort sale ends Monday night.

18:29

-

In today's health segment,

18:36

we have some news about some of our favorite foods.

18:37

-

It's been disappointing

18:39

'cause we all like Mexican food

18:40

and the news earlier this week was not too good.

18:41

And many Americans might even consider

18:44

shying away from Mexican dishes

18:46

now that it's been announced that they're high in

18:48

fat and calories.

18:49

-

But there is a healthy choice

18:50

for those who have a craving for food south of the border.

18:51

Let's take a look.

18:54

-

[Elizabeth Schwartz] If you think this is

18:55

real Mexican food.

18:56

(upbeat music)

18:58

-

[Maria Degollado: El Bajio Restaurant] That's not

19:04

our Mexican cuisine.

19:05

That's wrong.

19:06

-

[Elizabeth Schwartz] A real Mexican chef

19:08

has some news for you.

19:09

-

They think that the fajitas, the nachos,

19:11

and the Taco Bell,

19:14

that's not our cuisine.

19:15

This is our cuisine and it's really good.

19:18

-

[Elizabeth Schwartz] From the countryside

19:23

to the city street,

19:23

Mexican food uses ingredients

19:25

most people haven't even heard of north of the border.

19:27

Squash blossoms in chochoyotes

19:30

or dumplings made from corn make a peasant stew.

19:32

It's standard fair for caterer Maria Dolores Torres-Yzabal.

19:35

So are tropical fruit sorbets

19:39

made from zapote negro and mamey.

19:41

A North American might ask, "Where's the beef?"

19:43

Maria Yzabal

For vegetables,

19:46

they have everything here. Everything.

19:48

-

[Elizabeth Schwartz] Vegetables are crucial

19:51

to Mexican cuisine.

19:52

Before the Spanish conquered Mexico nearly 500 years ago,

19:53

Mexicans didn't have sheep or cattle.

19:57

The staples were beans, corn,

19:59

and chilis just like they are today.

20:01

-

This is la gordita regina and this is gordita inflada.

20:04

-

[Elizabeth Schwartz] At El Bajio,

20:09

a restaurant in Mexico City,

20:10

corn tortillas filled with beans are a specialty.

20:11

Maria Carmen Ramirez Degollado recently went

20:14

to a so-called Mexican night.

20:17

-

And they were giving Taco Bell chili with beans.

20:19

I was so mad that I called the chef

20:23

and I told him that if he was a great chef,

20:26

he has first to know what was the Mexico food.

20:30

-

[Elizabeth Schwartz] In Mexico, they do have tacos,

20:35

but don't ask for fajitas or nachos.

20:37

Those are inventions of North America

20:40

and aren't the real flavor of Mexico.

20:42

Elizabeth Schwartz, CNN reporting.

20:46

-

Just haven't been eating the right food there, Bill.

20:49

-

Yeah, that's right.

20:51

-

Anyway,

smokers and now non-smokers have been at odds

20:52

over smoking bans in public buildings.

20:55

Now there is a possible solution.

20:57

-

That's right. A California man is selling a unique gadget

20:58

that will help both smokers

21:00

and non-smokers deal with the bans.

21:02

Look at this.

21:03

For smokers, this helmet pulls smoke up through the filters

21:04

so it won't bother other people.

21:07

Now it also works for non-smokers.

21:09

People sensitive to smoke can wear it as well.

21:11

It uses a reversible fan which filters the air around them

21:13

and keeps it, you know, without the smoke.

21:17

Well, the hat can be plugged in

21:19

or if you want to use it on the go,

21:20

it also runs on batteries.

21:22

I just don't think it's gonna catch on though.

21:23

It just-

21:25

-

I just,

I don't think so. Anyway.

21:26

-

Well, coming up next Scott Brazda will be here

21:28

with a look at sports.

21:30

-

So stay with us.

(upbeat music)

21:32

What do I know about buying cars?

21:49

I know that Ford Taurus, America's best-selling car,

21:51

is over $2,500 less than a Camry,

21:54

$900 less than a Accord,

21:57

and Taurus features dual airbag

21:59

and smooth V6 power.

22:01

Honda only offers a four cylinder engine.

22:03

Ford Taurus, $2,500 less than Camry, less than Accord.

22:05

So what do I know about buying cars?

22:09

(upbeat music)

22:12

A lot.

You will too after you see your local

22:14

Southern Quality Ford dealer.

Welcome back to First News at Five.

23:22

Karen Daigle is in the newsroom

23:24

with a look at what's coming up at six. Karen.

23:25

Karen Daigle

Well, Bill and Agnes,

23:27

tonight at six o'clock,

23:28

what role did Matthew Populis's babysitter play

23:29

in connection with his death?

23:32

We'll take a look at that tonight.

23:33

We'll also say goodbye, a special goodbye,

23:35

to a person we all know very well.

23:38

That's tonight at six o'clock.

23:40

Now we go to sports and Scott Brazda.

23:42

Scott Brazda

And thank you, Karen.

23:44

I'm not going anywhere. I'm sticking around.

23:45

The fun of training camp has begun in earnest

23:47

for the New Orleans Saints.

23:49

Today was the first full day of practice

23:50

and just about everyone expected to be there is there

23:52

in Lacrosse, Wisconsin,

23:55

except free agent linebacker Ricky Jackson

23:56

and the holdout defensive back Vince Buck.

23:58

In fact, Buck is the only signed player

24:01

who has not reported to camp,

24:02

wants a few more dollars from a renegotiated contract.

24:04

In other football news,

24:07

the best of the best from the high school ranks

24:08

will go at it this evening in Baton Rouge.

24:10

Among those taking part from the Acadiana area,

24:12

Opelousas High Sam George, Crowley's Peter Lawrence,

24:14

plus some other great stars like Robert Hammond,

24:17

also from Big O.

24:19

And William Davis of Port Barry.

24:21

Not taking part our Josh Booty and Peyton Manning,

24:23

but for those ready to represent the West Squad,

24:25

this is a big, big game.

24:28

-

Right here, you know, it's a lot bigger, you know.

24:31

No speed and everybody out here just about equal, you know.

24:33

Just gonna go out and have fun.

24:37

-

I love 'em, you know, this house underneath.

24:39

So I just kind of like wanna prove myself

24:41

'cause, you what I'm saying,

24:43

I don't deserve to be at LSU (indistinct).

24:44

You know, I deserve to be in a division two school.

24:46

So I like, you know, down to rate me and everything.

24:48

-

I come out here and they're very large, bro.

24:51

So, you know, hopefully that motivate me

24:54

a little bit much more so I could do well.

24:57

(background chatter)

25:00

-

Mavis in the west, once again,

25:02

that All-Star game set for seven o'clock

25:03

at LSU's Tiger Stadium.

25:05

Two baseball and the recently retired Ryan Sandberg

25:07

is already headed to baseball's afterlife

25:09

as in the Hall of Fame.

25:11

Sandberg was one of five former Cubs

25:13

inducted into the club's Hall of Fame today.

25:14

This was Sandberg's first trip to Wrigley Field

25:17

since his retirement.

25:19

He's joined by the likes of shortstop, Don Kessinger.

25:20

So congratulations to him.

25:22

Now, the Sandbergless Cubs

25:24

were in action this afternoon

25:25

facing the Cincinnati Reds

25:27

and not even Rhino could have caught this one.

25:28

First inning, the Reds Kevin Mitchell says throw it here.

25:30

Chicago pitcher Mike Morgan made the mistake of listening.

25:33

It's D for D and D for deep and G for gone.

25:36

Three run shot for the Reds made it three zip.

25:39

But the cubbies, the cubbies are looking good in the eighth.

25:42

They lead this one by the score of 7-6.

25:44

Also Philly leading San Diego, 3-2 in the fourth.

25:46

And those fallen ceiling tiles

25:49

caused the Mariners' Red Sox series to move to Boston.

25:51

They're nothing, nothing in the first.

25:54

And four coaches at LSU have been rewarded

25:57

by that school's board of supervisors.

25:59

Dale Brown, Skip Burtman, and Pat Henry,

26:01

each given contract extensions.

26:03

And women's basketball coach, Sue Gunter,

26:05

pulled in a pay raise of $15,000.

26:07

LSU athletic director Jo Dean said Gunter had been underpaid

26:10

compared to other SCC coaches.

26:13

So happy times in the Tiger athletic department.

26:15

And win with golf,

26:17

round three of the seniors British Open,

26:18

Bob Charles began the day with the lead,

26:20

but he wouldn't finish the day on top.

26:22

Neither did Arnold Palmer despite that great chip.

26:24

Tom Wargo is the man in the British Isles

26:27

for the second straight day.

26:28

He fired a 68.

26:29

He meets a tourney by two shots over Charles.

26:31

Arnie shot a 71 and his fifth five shots back.

26:33

-

Nice. Thanks a lot to you, Scott.

26:37

-

Yeah, a little of everything.

26:38

-

Didn't know you were leaving.
