MAY 28,1995 WM Sespected In High winds Sunday afternoon and evening are trje suspected cause of power outages on the east and northwest sides of town. The first outage occurred from 4 to 4:50 p.m., according to Rodney Powell, second shift supervisor for Logansport Municipal Utilities. The outage blanketed much of the east end of town, extending as far west as 24th Street and as far northeast as the new homes off High Street Road. The southern parameter of the blackout was Landis Elementary School and the homes in that area.

At 4:30 p.m., the Logansport Police Department reported to LMU that power lines were down behind Kmart. "What was the cause, I really couldn't tell you," Powell said. High winds hitting tree branches into the lines, or moving the lines close enough together to arc, can cause such problems, he said. The wind reached gusts of up to 43 mph, according to weather equipment at the Pharos-Tribune. Power also was lost from 6 to 6:24 p.m.

when a tree limb was pushed onto a line near the Skyline Drive-In Theatre on Ind. 17 North, affecting homes in that area.

Floyd Spence, chairman of the House National Security Committee. "The current station was constructed 39 years ago when the base was home to active duty bombers. With the realignment to a reserve base, the station is now outside the 434th Air Refueling Wing area," Buyer said in his letter to Spence. Buyer said the funding for the station is an example of an effort to enhance military readiness on the base.

MAY 28,1995 Flooding Continued from page A1 Sandbagging also was suspended in St. Charles, near the confluence of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers, as the rivers and most other waterways were receding. "We haven't seen the sun in so long, people are staring at it trying to figure out what it is," said St.

Charles County Sheriff's Sgt. Don Bufford. "Some local people are trying to set up a Memorial Day picnic while the weather holds, not knowing what it'll be doing next week." Farther downstream along the Mississippi River, an estimated 200 square miles of western Tennessee farmland was under water Sunday as the river was still rising there. The river is expected to crest in about a week, and all federal levees in Tennessee were holding with "room to spare," said Col. Ted Fox of the Army Corps of Engineers.

PUBLIC RECORDS Continued from page A1 "The dead are being collected on the site in Neftegorsk, We don't know the exact number," Mikhailova said. Moans from under the rubble were audible throughout the town, according to an unidentified ministry spokesman quoted by the Interfax news agency. Sakhalin's deputy governor, Vitaly; Gomilevsky, said at least 70 people were; killed, Interfax reported. In Okha, a town of 35,000 people located 55 miles north of Neftegorsk, balconies fell from two five-story buildings and many houses sustained cracked walls and broken furniture. Aftershocks rocked the region through- out the day Sunday.

The initial quake also ruptured an oil pipeline running north from Neftegorsk which translates as "oil town" and destroyed oil wells, spilling an unknown amount. A special plane left Moscow on Sunday with a rescue team and equipment aboard. Camps were set up for those evacuated from the quake area and teams of medics and rescue workers were sent to the area, according to the ITAR-Tass news agency. Russian news reports said more than 200 rescue workers, six helicopters and more than 10 airplanes participated in the rescue effort, with more teams preparing to go to the area. Rescue work reportedly was hindered by heavy fog.
