[1:47] It's an escalating war in the Middle

[1:48] East tonight.

[1:55] Hezbollah and Israel continued fierce

[1:57] fighting for a sixth day, showing no

[1:59] sign of letting up. Hezbollah launched

[2:01] more deadly rockets from Lebanon,

[2:03] landing farther inside Israel. Israeli

[2:05] continues their retaliation. The toll on

[2:07] both sides now stands at more than 200

[2:10] dead. Meanwhile, the military is trying

[2:12] to get Americans out of the Middle East.

[2:14] Two Marine Corps helicopters have

[2:16] evacuated 21 US citizens from Lebanon to

[2:19] Cypress. A family of four with a sick

[2:21] child and four students were the first

[2:22] to leave. State Department officials say

[2:24] about 25,000 Americans are in Lebanon,

[2:27] but they only think about 15% of them

[2:29] actually want to leave.

[2:32] >> It's going to get worse, I think, before

[2:34] it gets better. And we don't want to

[2:35] discover afterwards that American

[2:36] citizens were trapped in a situation

[2:37] where we could have gotten them out.

[2:39] Well, the American embassy is urging

[2:41] Americans to register online so they can

[2:43] be contacted when evacuation plans are

[2:45] finalized.

[2:46] >> Meanwhile, at the G8 summit today,

[2:48] member nations finished a statement on

[2:50] the Middle East crisis. The leaders

[2:52] called for an immediate end to the

[2:53] bloodshed between Israel and Hezbollah

[2:56] today, specifically demanding the

[2:57] release of Israeli soldiers and an end

[2:59] to terrorist attacks against Israel. G8

[3:02] Nations asked that Israel exercise more

[3:04] restraint in the conflict, but all

[3:05] agreed that Hezbollah is to blame for

[3:07] the latest crisis.

[3:12] Well, once again here on this Sunday

[3:13] evening, all is quiet on the radar.

[3:15] Radar, not going to be the weather

[3:16] instrument I'm going to be focusing on

[3:18] this week. It's the thermometer. Details

[3:20] about some tripledigit heat that could

[3:22] be coming our way coming up.

[3:23] >> Well, joggers and walkers are flocking

[3:25] to a Portland trail once again, but some

[3:27] say the reopening could be putting their

[3:29] water in jeopardy. We'll explain.

[3:31] >> Plus, evacuations may be coming as fire

[7:16] In news from around the Northwest

[7:18] tonight, the family of two Seattle women

[7:20] killed on a hiking trip returned to the

[7:22] scene of the crime. 56-year-old Mary

[7:24] Cooper and her daughter, 27-year-old

[7:26] Susanna Stodden, were shot to death on a

[7:28] trail in the Cascade Mountains near

[7:30] Everett on Tuesday. The shooter is still

[7:32] on the loose. Cooper's family says they

[7:34] went back to the area to help deal with

[7:35] their grief. They're also urging the

[7:37] public to not let fear overcome them. A

[7:40] company in Washington wants to return

[7:41] its 400 mile pipeline system to full

[7:44] capacity. The pipeline ruptured in 1999

[7:46] in Bellingham, spilling more than

[7:48] 200,000 gallons of gasoline and igniting

[7:51] a fireball you see here that killed

[7:53] three people. The Olympic pipeline

[7:55] company has been operating the system at

[7:57] 80% since 2001. They're now asking the

[8:00] federal government for approval to

[8:01] return to full capacity.

[8:04] >> Foothold on the stubborn fire that's

[8:06] consumed more than 70,000 acres now. But

[8:08] weather remains their biggest concern.

[8:11] Fire officials fear rain from storms

[8:12] could cause massive flooding in the

[8:14] scorched canyon lands. Well, crews are

[8:16] battling fire season 2006 right now in

[8:18] Washington. The Gateway Line fire is

[8:21] burning on about 100 acres near the town

[8:22] of Cheni. Firefighters have it about 25%

[8:25] contained and they say the fire is

[8:26] threatening 10 buildings in the area.

[8:28] The cause is still under investigation,

[8:30] but officials say they think it was

[8:31] started by a person. And in central

[8:34] Washington, the Tinpan fire has burned

[8:36] more than 300 acres tonight near the

[8:38] Antiat River. It was started by

[8:40] lightning. Forest Service crews are

[8:41] working to keep it from spreading. Crews

[8:43] say it is within fire lines.

[8:49] >> And meteorologist Drew Jackson is back

[8:51] with us now. And I can tell you as

[8:52] reporters, Kevin and I have these bags

[8:54] under our desk for fire season 2006 that

[8:56] have all our fire gear and our boots and

[8:59] like all the protective gear that you

[9:00] need. And it's basically jumping out at

[9:02] us right now. Just waiting to go out

[9:04] there.

[9:04] >> You're just ready to get sent out the

[9:05] door, huh? Start come back smelling like

[9:07] smoke and everything. Yeah. T the season

[9:09] and with this week coming up, hot and

[9:11] dry. So, uh, I imagine there very well

[9:14] could be some problems here a week or

[9:15] two from now as a result of the hot

[9:16] weather that's coming, unfortunately.

[9:18] All right, here's a look from the

[9:19] Skyline camera, and you can see the city

[9:20] lights of Portland. A clear night, very

[9:22] calm and comfortable night. But I've

[9:24] been talking throughout the show here

[9:26] about some uncomfortable heat that is

[9:28] definitely headed our direction. But

[9:30] right now pretty comfortable. 68 at the

[9:31] Portland airport and in Troutdale also

[9:33] 68. Vancouver. Hillsboro's at 66. Scapus

[9:36] down to 64. McMinnville at 63. But

[9:38] Aurora still very close to 70 at this

[9:41] hour. All right, wind direction out in

[9:43] the northwest once again. And I think

[9:44] there's a slightly stronger onore flow

[9:47] tonight. And that means tomorrow's

[9:48] probably going to be a bit cooler and it

[9:50] very well could start off cloudy in

[9:51] places, especially near the rivers in

[9:53] the morning. But I do expect a lot of

[9:54] sunshine tomorrow afternoon. Another

[9:56] very comfortable day. High temperatures

[9:57] upper 70s to near 80 around the rest of

[9:59] the state this evening 74 right now

[10:01] Redmond 77 the Dallas still 80 and Burns

[10:03] along the coast it's in the 50s and

[10:05] farther to the east along Interstate 84

[10:07] down to 69 Hermiston Baker City is at 70

[10:10] and Lrand at 73. All right making news

[10:13] across the country a tremendous heat

[10:14] wave underway. Tripledigit heats and 90°

[10:17] temperatures almost everywhere in the

[10:20] United States. In fact there was a spot

[10:21] here in central South Dakota that hit

[10:23] 117°

[10:25] today. That's like Death Valley type

[10:27] temperatures. Those folks not used to

[10:29] that at all. The humidity very high as

[10:31] well. There's a huge dome of high

[10:33] pressure in here causing the extreme

[10:34] heat. This is now watch as I track this

[10:37] over the coming week. It looks like the

[10:39] heat's actually going to build to the

[10:40] west towards the Pacific Northwest. So,

[10:42] we see all those dark colors here over

[10:44] the northwest. And that means record

[10:46] high temperatures are likely. And these

[10:47] are Portland's records for the week

[10:49] ahead. You can see every day of the next

[10:51] four, the record high is 102 or higher.

[10:54] We're not going to get this hot this

[10:56] early. It's towards the end of the week

[10:58] when the records actually fall into the

[11:00] upper 90s to near 100. These records

[11:02] definitely in jeopardy. And if I were to

[11:04] literally interpret a couple of the

[11:06] computer models I was looking at, we

[11:08] would be flirting with the all-time

[11:09] record high in Portland about 107° here

[11:12] in this time frame. It's still a little

[11:14] too far out to say for sure if it's

[11:16] going to get that hot. I mean, it that's

[11:18] the all-time record high. So, that's

[11:19] certainly not something that happens all

[11:20] the time. Doesn't happen hardly ever, in

[11:22] fact. So, we'll have to keep an eye on

[11:24] this to see how hot it's going to be,

[11:26] but you'll see in my 7-day forecast, I

[11:27] do have tripledigit temperatures on the

[11:28] way. My forecast may end up being

[11:30] conservative here as the week goes on.

[11:32] All right, morning low clouds tomorrow,

[11:33] then afternoon sun breaks, 50s in the

[11:36] morning along the coast, 60s in the

[11:37] afternoon. Small craft advisor in effect

[11:38] because the winds will still be up a

[11:40] bit, say between 10 and 25 miles an

[11:42] hour. Lamoth Valley, you'll probably

[11:43] wake up to sunshine. A few places waking

[11:45] up to some clouds in the morning and

[11:46] it'll be a little bit cooler as mother

[11:48] nature's air conditioning kicks in a bit

[11:49] more tomorrow. Upper 70s to near 80 for

[11:51] high temperatures with the afternoon

[11:53] sunshine. Central and eastern Oregon.

[11:54] Another warm day and a bit breezy in

[11:56] places. Bend to 87. The Dallas windy and

[11:58] 86. Farther to the east in the 90s for

[12:01] Lrand Baker City and Burns in the

[12:02] Cascades. A sunny and warm day. Could be

[12:04] a few low clouds along the western

[12:06] slopes early. 70 at Government Camp. 63

[12:08] Timberline Lodge. First live local

[12:10] forecast for Portland now. 57 in the

[12:11] morning. Could be some low clouds. Some

[12:13] of you may wake up to sunshine though.

[12:14] 67 at noon and a cooler afternoon

[12:17] tomorrow. 77. Just a delightful

[12:19] afternoon. Right in that perfect range

[12:21] terms of the temperature. Northwest

[12:22] winds 5 to 15. Low 50s west of town in

[12:24] the morning. 54 in the morning. Long

[12:26] view. 75 there in the afternoon. 79 for

[12:28] Hillsboro. 78 Beaverton. East side of

[12:31] town. You'll see morning temperatures in

[12:32] the middle 50s. Could be a few scattered

[12:34] clouds early, but then mostly sunny in

[12:35] the afternoon with highs in the upper

[12:37] 70s. Here's a look at that 7-day

[12:38] forecast. Now, each day gets a bit

[12:40] warmer than the previous one. 80

[12:42] Tuesday, 85 Wednesday, up to 92

[12:45] Thursday. this point. At this point, I'm

[12:47] going to call for 100 on Friday and 102

[12:50] both Saturday and Sunday. And as I

[12:52] talked about, that could turn out to be

[12:53] even conservative. We may even have to

[12:56] up those numbers even higher as the week

[12:57] goes on. Mark will be updating that all

[12:59] week long. And Andy will have the

[13:00] forecast update tomorrow morning on Good

[13:02] Day Oregon beginning at 5.

[13:06] In the Fox 12 final cut, a neighborhood

[13:08] is rocked by a fiery plane crash. And as

[13:10] the smoke clears, neighbors are amazed

[13:12] at what might have been. They rocked

[13:14] out, then passed out. See what had

[13:16] dozens of Oz festers keeling over. And

[13:19] you've got to have a rockhard gut for

[13:21] this one. These bugs are a popular snack

[17:01] 800's tragic explosion off the coast of

[17:03] Long Island. The Boeing 747bound for

[17:06] Paris crashed shortly after takeoff from

[17:08] JFK airport, killing all 230 people on

[17:11] board. Federal investigators determined

[17:13] that the crash was the result of a fuel

[17:17] the victims are gathering for a memorial

[17:19] tomorrow at Smith Point County Park in

[17:21] Long Island. It's the closest place on

[17:23] land to the crash site. A New York City

[17:26] doctor suspected of blowing up his

[17:27] townhouse has died. Police say someone

[17:30] tampered with the gas line in the

[17:31] building's basement last week. They

[17:33] think the doctor did it to keep his

[17:35] ex-wife from getting any money for

[17:36] selling the four-story building. The

[17:39] body of a woman killed in the Big Dig

[17:41] tunnel in Massachusetts is being flown

[17:43] tonight to her homeland of Costa Rica

[17:45] for burial. Mortars turned out for the

[17:47] woman's memorial service yesterday.

[17:49] Ceiling panels fell from the tunnel

[17:51] Monday, crushing the woman's car and

[17:53] killing her. Her husband crawled out to

[17:55] safety. The Big Dig is the nation's most

[17:57] expensive public works project ever.

[17:59] It's a tunnel system meant to make

[18:00] driving smoother in Boston.

[18:03] >> Police in Florida are looking tonight

[18:04] for the owner of a pitbull that's

[18:06] believed to have killed four horses. The

[18:08] horse's owners say they found the dog

[18:10] lying next to the dead animals. A

[18:12] neighbor shot and killed the pitbull.

[18:14] The horse owners say they're going to

[18:16] put up more fencing to protect their

[18:17] animals. Meanwhile, they want the dog

[18:19] owner to come forward and take

[18:20] responsibility. A shark is usually one

[18:23] of the last things you may want to see

[18:24] at a beach, but that was not the case at

[18:26] a beach in Massachusetts. Take a look at

[18:28] what happened when beachgoers spotted

[18:30] this 12 foot long shark yesterday.

[18:32] People actually came within several feet

[18:34] of it on purpose. Fortunately, it was a

[18:37] basking shark, which is harmless to

[18:39] people. Basking sharks can grow up to 33

[18:41] feet long and weigh up to four tons. The

[18:44] heat proved too much for some concert

[18:46] goers in Missouri. About 60 people at

[18:49] Ozfest yesterday had to be treated for

[18:51] heat exhaustion. Temperatures were near

[18:53] 100 degrees during the show. Some

[18:55] concert goers were complaining of chest

[18:56] pains, nausea, and fatigue. They all say

[18:59] that they were being charged uh charged

[19:01] for water, so they didn't buy any, but

[19:02] later on the water was given away for

[19:04] free. Some people in Ohio got some

[19:06] explosive news about one of their

[19:08] neighbors. Police evacuated 20 homes

[19:10] yesterday after someone spotted three

[19:12] cases of dynamite on a neighbor's back

[19:14] porch. Bomb squad spent six hours

[19:16] diffusing the explosives before they

[19:18] could be removed. The homeowner, who was

[19:20] found with a loaded gun, claimed that

[19:22] the dynamite was brought into his home

[19:24] 15 years ago when he moved in. There is

[19:26] no news yet if charges will be filed.

[19:33] Now, back to our coverage of uh the air

[19:35] show disaster right now. Uh, a retired

[19:38] military plane crashes to the ground,

[19:40] killing the pilot, evacuating the

[19:42] neighborhood, and making a dark end to

[19:43] the weekend's local air show. Tonight,

[19:45] we have live team coverage of the air

[19:47] show disaster, beginning with KPTV's

[19:49] Deborah Gil. She's live in the Hillsboro

[19:51] neighborhood where the plane went down.

[19:53] Deb Hillary, as you can see, they've

[19:55] taken down the police tape that kept us

[19:57] back and lessened their secured area for

[20:00] the evening. Now, it's just immediately

[20:02] around the house that was destroyed by

[20:04] the plane. And just moments ago, they

[20:06] let us in for a closer look. Take a

[20:08] look. We can show it to you now. This is

[20:10] the scene tonight where a blue English

[20:12] hawker hunter crashed into the home,

[20:14] destroying it. It happened at about 4:30

[20:16] this afternoon, just after the jet took

[20:18] off to head home to Southern California.

[20:21] You can see firefighters there

[20:22] continuing to put water on the wreckage

[20:24] to keep it cool as they investigate. The

[20:26] plane was part of the ground display of

[20:28] planes at the air show. Witnesses tell

[20:30] us the jet never really gained altitude.

[20:32] Then the engine went quiet and the plane

[20:35] came over the trees of this neighborhood

[20:37] and crashed into the home you see here.

[20:39] Four homes total were damaged. This one

[20:41] was destroyed. One has damage to one

[20:43] side of the home. Another home's attic

[20:45] was damaged by flames and the fourth

[20:47] home had some damage to its yard. The

[20:49] only casualty was the pilot who died in

[20:52] the crash. No one on the ground was

[20:55] hurt. Now back out live again. and the

[20:57] NTSB investigators are on their way here

[20:59] to this crash scene and the Oregon

[21:02] International Air Show officials tell us

[21:04] this is the first time any such disaster

[21:06] like this has happened in their 19-year

[21:08] history. Reporting live tonight in

[21:10] Hillsboro, Deborah Gill, the 10:00 news.

[21:12] >> All right, Deb, thanks. And the owner of

[21:13] the plane that crashed is a veteran

[21:15] pilot and instructor from Southern

[21:16] California. Robert Guilford has been

[21:18] flying for more than 45 years and is

[21:20] licensed to train pilots in his 1951

[21:23] Hunter Hawker fighter plane. A spokesman

[21:25] for the air show says that Guilford

[21:26] brought his plane to Hillsboro for

[21:28] people to see, but was not part of the

[21:30] actual aerial show. Now, we're told the

[21:32] pilot fueled up and intended to fly home

[21:34] late this afternoon. Presumably,

[21:36] Guilford was at the controls of the

[21:38] aircraft, but federal investigators have

[21:40] not yet confirmed that. Well, that crash

[21:42] left several families homeless tonight.

[21:44] Although they survived, many are still

[21:46] shaken. KPTV's David Wilson continues

[21:48] our team coverage tonight. He's live in

[21:50] Hillsboro with more. Dave?

[21:51] >> Yeah, the Red Cross is on scene here

[21:53] tonight. continuing to offer support to

[21:55] these people out here trying to give

[21:56] them anything they may need to help them

[21:58] recover from all of this. Uh neighbors

[22:00] say that everyone on the street is close

[22:03] and they feared the worst this afternoon

[22:04] when the plane crashed into Donna

[22:06] Reynolds house. Reynolds was fortunately

[22:08] not home at the time, but neighbors

[22:10] feared she might have been killed. Right

[22:12] next door, a couple was home at the time

[22:14] of the crash. Neighbors say they were

[22:16] going about their daily routine when

[22:18] they heard the plane crash and explode,

[22:20] burning part of their home.

[22:22] her husband was home um from work for

[22:25] lunch and so I think they just got out

[22:26] just in time. Now

[22:28] >> there are at least two families without

[22:30] homes here tonight. The Red Cross is

[22:31] offering up hotels to them. Now we go to

[22:34] Jamie Wilson and she has another part of

[22:36] the story. Jamie,

[22:37] >> well that's right. Dozens of police

[22:38] officers and firefighters responded

[22:40] within just minutes of the crash today.

[22:43] But actually the very first person on

[22:45] scene was an offduty National Guardsman.

[22:48] Eric Tucker was driving home from

[22:50] National Guard training this afternoon

[22:52] when he tells us that he actually saw

[22:54] the plane go down right away. He drove

[22:57] to the scene and made sure that no one

[22:58] was trapped or hurt. That he called 911,

[23:02] directed traffic, and even went door

[23:04] todo telling neighbors to evacuate. Eric

[23:07] tells us that he just had to help out.

[23:11] And maybe it's a father mentality in me.

[23:13] and I have three kids and if somebody's

[23:15] hurt, if one of my kids is hurt, I know

[23:17] I have to help. And that's what I did is

[23:20] I went to where they could use me.

[23:27] And without even planning or a cell

[23:29] phone call, Eric tells us that his

[23:32] offduty sergeant from the National Guard

[23:34] also responded to the crash scene

[23:36] without being asked. Live in Hillsboro

[23:38] tonight, Jamie Wilson, the 10:00 news.

[23:41] Fox 12 will have continuing coverage of

[23:43] the air show disaster. We will have the

[23:44] latest updates live tomorrow morning on

[23:46] Good Day Oregon starting at 500 am and

[23:49] on the 10 and 11 o'clock news programs.

[23:58] Now, in the final cut, the city of

[24:00] Portland has restored public access to a

[24:02] historic reservoir in Washington Park,

[24:04] but some homeowners have concerns about

[24:06] the safety of their drinking water. Now,

[24:08] KPTV's Mark Glazooi has details.

[24:12] >> 81-year-old Elellanar Hos discovered a

[24:14] pleasant surprise on her walk through

[24:16] Washington Park. She found an open

[24:17] walkway around Reservoir 3 that was

[24:19] closed to the public for decades.

[24:21] >> Always been so closed up tight. I'm

[24:23] wondering why it's opening now.

[24:25] >> The Portland Water Bureau received

[24:27] inquiries from people who questioned why

[24:28] Mount Taber had open reservoirs and not

[24:31] Washington Park. The city agreed to

[24:32] change access to reservoir 3. It's

[24:35] really nice because it's flat and it's

[24:37] beautiful and you can see things that

[24:39] you never saw before. It's great.

[24:41] >> Reservoir 3 dates back to 1894 and is

[24:44] one of five open air reservoirs in

[24:46] Portland. It can hold more than 16

[24:48] million gallons of drinking water.

[24:50] >> While the city now has security here in

[24:52] place at reservoir number three, many

[24:53] people still have questions about how

[24:55] you can protect something this big from

[24:57] an outside threat. Well, that is the

[24:59] thing that bothers me is you never know

[25:02] who might uh try to do something with

[25:04] the water being so close to it.

[25:06] >> Besides installing surveillance cameras

[25:07] and adding 24/7 security, the water

[25:10] bureau performed a security review that

[25:12] in part found the chainlink fence around

[25:14] the reservoir mainly kept law- abiding

[25:16] people out, not troublemakers. The city

[25:18] believes people who use the walkway will

[25:20] ultimately turn their exercise into an

[25:22] informal neighborhood watch program.

[25:24] >> This is their reservoir. They are very

[25:27] protective of it. They're not going to

[25:28] allow uh vigorants or anybody else to do

[25:32] anything that would contaminate the

[25:33] water.

[25:34] >> The city plans to soon replace the chain

[25:36] link perimeter fence around reservoir 3

[25:38] with rod iron to add to the beauty of

[25:40] this urban postcard in southwest

[25:42] Portland. Mark Lazyski, the 10:00 news.

[25:44] >> And the walkway around Reservoir 3

[25:46] closes to the public daily at dusk.

[25:52] >> In the fight for Iraq tonight, an

[25:53] American soldier is dead following

[25:55] continued violence in Baghdad. The

[25:57] soldier was killed by a roadside bomb in

[25:58] a southern part of the capital city. Two

[26:00] other bombs exploded in Baghdad

[26:02] neighborhoods today, killing at least 26

[26:04] people and hurting more than 22 others.

[26:06] Meanwhile, a British soldier was killed

[26:08] in Bazra and a top oil ministry official

[26:11] was kidnapped.

[26:15] And in news from around the world

[26:16] tonight, the White House expects North

[26:18] Korea to rejoin six party nuclear talks

[26:21] despite rising tensions. Yesterday, the

[26:23] UN Security Council condemned North

[26:24] Korea's recent ballistic missile tests

[26:26] and imposed sanctions on the country.

[26:28] The North Korean ambassador called the

[26:30] action quote blackmail and left the

[26:32] meeting early. The Bush administration

[26:34] said it's confident, though North Korea

[26:35] will rejoin talks because the country

[26:37] considers them a separate issue from

[26:39] missile testing.

[26:41] A volcano in Ecuador is giving quite a

[26:44] show. Take a look. It's been spewing ash

[26:45] and lava. Thousands of people have had

[26:47] to evacuate schools and churches. Lava

[26:50] flows have already blocked roads and

[26:51] destroyed bridges. So far, there are no

[26:53] reports of injuries, but some cattle

[26:55] have died.

[26:57] It's ant season in Colombia, and that

[26:59] means snack time. The insects there are

[27:02] much larger than the ants you'll find in

[27:04] your backyard, and most can fly. The

[27:06] insects are toasted and eaten like

[27:08] popcorn. And if you think this is only a

[27:10] local delicacy, think again. More than

[27:12] 800 lb of ants were exported last year.

[27:15] Upscale department stores in London sell

[27:17] them for up to $8 per halfozen ants.

[27:20] Some people say the ants are a natural

[27:21] treatment for impotence and cancer.

[27:26] Fox 12 is on pump and experts say local

[27:28] drivers could see higher gas prices at

[27:30] violence continues in the Middle East.

[27:32] Middle East conflict has caused a spike

[27:34] in crude prices, but those increases

[27:36] haven't yet filtered down to the local

[27:38] consumer. The national average has held

[27:40] steady the last couple of days at 296

[27:41] for a gallon of unled. The average in

[27:43] Oregon sits about a penny higher at 297.

[27:46] And in the Portland, Vancouver area,

[27:47] things are better than average at 292.

[27:50] With a prolonged conflict in the Middle

[27:51] East considered likely, many experts

[27:53] think prices are projected to get worse.

[27:56] And that is Fox 12's final cut for

[27:58] tonight.

[28:00] >> Coming up on the 10:00 news, a popular

[28:02] television character comes to town. Find

[28:03] out why this larger than-l life

[28:17] >> Monday on the 10:00 news, did a former

[28:21] line?

[28:22] >> He said there was nudity in involved and

[28:24] he'd have to see what that looked like.

[28:25] >> The Fox 12 investigators find out why a

[28:28] local horror movie casting call had

[31:04] Welcome back everybody. I'm Tim Becker

[31:05] and the 10 o'clock news is almost over,

[31:07] which also means Oregon Sports Final is

[31:09] now just minutes away. And here's one of

[31:12] the reasons you want to stick around to

[31:13] enjoy the show. We'll head to Blue Lake

[31:15] Park where the Pro Wakeboard Tour

[31:17] brought home a couple of Oregon natives

[31:19] who are living the good life right now.

[31:21] Also, you know, it is a bit bizarre yet

[31:23] captivating, the sport of cable tossing.

[31:25] You'll meet a Portland man in his 40s

[31:27] who thinks nothing of tossing a

[31:29] telephone pole and wearing a kilt.

[31:31] Trailblazer draft pick Brandon Roy came

[31:33] away from the Vegas Summer League

[31:35] looking like the steel of the draft.

[31:44] sports car racing, driving in the Le Man

[31:47] series here in Portland. She is also a

[31:58] >> Tonight, Space Shuttle Discovery is

[32:00] cleared for a trip back home. NASA

[32:02] engineers have been reviewing images

[32:04] from the shuttle's wings and nose cone

[32:06] and say there's no sign of damage.

[32:08] Earlier, there was concern about trouble

[32:10] with the skin that protects the

[32:11] spacecraft during re-entry. Astronauts

[32:14] finished repairs to the International

[32:16] Space Station during their 9-day

[32:17] mission. The only question now is the

[32:19] weather. And don't miss the shuttle

[32:21] landing. The Discovery is set to land a

[32:23] little after 600 at Kennedy Space Center

[32:25] in Florida at 6:00 a.m. So, we'll be

[32:27] carrying it live on Good Day, Oregon

[32:29] with coverage starting tomorrow at 5:00

[32:31] a.m.

[32:32] >> Well, the most popular advertising icon

[32:34] in the country made an appearance at

[32:35] this year's air show. Take a look. The

[32:37] Geico Gecko was named America's favorite

[32:39] corporate mascot in a recent online

[32:41] poll. Well, the spokes creature came to

[32:43] Hillsboro from Phoenix with stunt pilot

[32:45] Tim Weber to promote Geico insurance at

[32:47] the Oregon International Air Show. The

[32:49] larger than life gecko entertained

[32:50] audience members while Weber took to the

[32:52] sky in one of the highest performance

[32:54] planes in the show. Geico started using

[32:56] the talking green gecko in its ads back

[32:59] in 1999.

[33:01] He's not talking though.

[33:03] Hey, take a look at who's living in the

[33:05] fast lane now. Some senior citizens in

[33:07] Tennessee took a field trip from their

[33:09] nursing home this week. And as you can

[33:11] see, these go-karts were just the thing

[33:12] to satisfy their need for speed.

[33:15] Just sitting still just don't enthuse me

[33:18] very much. Still chasing the women.

[33:21] >> You give up while you're too old.

[33:23] >> You already won.

[33:25] >> Chasing those women. Yeah. Some of the

[33:27] seniors I saw that who took part were in

[33:29] their 90s. Still to come this summer.

[33:31] They plan to go rafting and also

[33:33] horseback riding

[33:34] >> and no airbags. All right. Well, yeah,

[33:35] they don't go too fast. All right. I

[33:36] think we're just about out of time

[33:38] actually, but uh we'll leave you with

[33:39] the last look at the 7-day forecast. And

[33:41] uh thanks so much for joining us
