Page 2 THE WORLD, Coos Bay, Friday, July 14, 1989 Flight records broken only thing Osterud remarked about was puffy eyes and clogged-up sinuses. Afterward, Stenzel came up to hug and congratulate Osterud. "I've had the record for long enough. I've had my day and I think it's time for someone to have theirs," she said. But Stenzel is holding on to one more world milepost for both sexes by flying 56 inverted snap rolls in a row.

Osterud hugged many in the crowd, including Spargo. "Well, we did it," Osterud said, explaining the two had worked together for years to put the stunt together. The registration fee for the world record attempt was spnosored by Warner Cable. (Continued from Page 1) Spargo promoted a "pledge per loop" drive to help raise money for the United Way of Southwestern Oregon. Alan Lock, United Way executive director, said the feat was "absolutely fantastic.

We don't know the exact amount we'll get from the pledges, so I'll take a wild, wild guess say more than a couple of thousand dollars." The attempt was delayed for a few hours when low clouds prevented Osterud from having the necessary 1,500 foot safety ceiling for performing the stunt. Osterud took off from the airport at 2:20 p.m.; she broke Stenzel's record in 38 minutes, and the 180 men's loop mark one hour and 48 minutes later. An outside loop is where the plane (IF I Aw NB family aids rescue Closure temporary (Continued from Page 1) The clinic has 186 current patients and has served more than 280 clients within the last six months, according to clinic records. Bauman said, "The (BAPC) board supports the continuation of care to all pregnant women in this area. We believe that care can be provided either by certified nurse midwives or by physicians." Patients can call the clinic at 269-5561 for more information and can make appointments with their regular physicians by calling the North Bend Medical Clinic at 267-5151, Bauman said.

But the exact details of Bay Area Prenatal Clinic's future remains unclear. The clinic opened in 1987 and has help many South Coast Families. Bay Area Hospital District is the official governing board for the BAPC and has final approval on the clinic's yearly budget. Earlier this week the Bay Area Hospital board of directors put the clinic's operating budget through next year on hold. GB plant doors close GOLD BEACH Workers at Gold Beach Plywood are cleaning up today, the last day of operation of the mill that announced in April it would close because of an inability to bid competitively c.i federal timber sales and a need for extensive modernization.

Rick Saunders, mill manager, said 37 employees were at work at the site today. The mill and 57,000 acres of timberlands have been purchased by South Coast Lumber he said, for an undisclosed price. Three other firms bid for the property, but Saunders declined to identify who they are. starts high in the air, goes down in a circular path, flies upside down for a moment to miss the ground and finally powers up to complete the circle. To qualify, each loop has to be completed within an average of one minute.

Osterud would fly several loops in a row, readjust the plane's positions due to the 15 mph north winds on Thursday, and start flying loops again. Three-quarters of a way through the stunt, Osterud's father from Utah came to the airport to wish his daughter well. "She told me that she first wanted to fly when she was two years old. But I didn't know about until she graduated from college" and started taking flying lessons, Kenneth Osterud, Joann Osterud and Stenzel share another distinction besides doing outside loops: Both women started their aviation careers jumping out of airplanes. Stenzel said she was 17 when she did it to pay for her flying lessons.

Someone asked her if she would be willing to jump out of an airplane for $100. After a few terrifying moments of hanging onto a skydiving plane strut, Stenzel decided to let go after the pilot got tired of waiting for her and knocked her off the wing with a fire extinguisher. "I didn't realize I had let go until I heard the wind flapping past my ears," said Stenzel. Afterward Stenzel learned how to fly and perform acrobatic tricks. It took several years of customizing before it was structurally strong enough and had a special fuel system to fly upside down and do outside loops.

Osterud took the same path by tinkering with the fuel system of her modified "Supernova" Hiperbipe and some last minute adjustments with Sorrell Aircraft in Tenino, Wash. In addition Osterud also built a contraption to hang upside down for long periods of time to combat the effects of flying outside loops. An outside loop generates about 2 Vz to 3 negative forces and the force tries to pull a flyer out of the pilot seat. Osterud's on-site physician, Dr. D.L.

Courtney of Reedsport, said "different people react differently to all that force." Some predicted the negative gravity would force a lot of blood in her face and she could end up looking like hamburger, but upon landing the A North Bend family helped in the rescue of a 7-year-old Corvallis girl when she became buried in the sand for 10 to 15 minutes while camping July 3. Kristie Johnson was on a family outing with her parents, Paul and Janet Johnson, and became trapped in the sand near Honeyman State Park when her family dug two holes about 4V2 feet deep and was building a tunnel between them. Janet Johnson said the girl jumped into one hole and crawled into the tunnel before it was completed, causing the sand to collapse on her. As the parents dug frantically, they sent a 14-year-old exchange student, who was living with them, to get help. Ron Hjort, North Bend, and other members of the Hjort family, who were camped nearby, ran to the scene and began digging with their hands.

Hjort is the regional manager of the Oregon Parks Division and also serves on the board for Southwestern Oregon Community College. When Kristie Johnson was uncovered, her face was blue, witnesses said. The girl was taken to the Western Lane Hospital in Florence that night, and she was released July 5. Incidents reported Police are investigating a theft of items valued at about $3,500 from Sears Roebuck and Co. in North Bend, according to the North Bend Police Department.

Police believe the items were obtained with forged checks and a credit card but are still following up leads in the case, said Detective Debbie Fultz. Cycle rider hurt A North Bend man was injured after losing control of his motorcycle on Southwest Boulevard near Libby Road Wednesday, according to the Coos County Sheriff's Department. Sheriff's Deputy Fred Haferkamp, 40, was taken to Bay Area Hospital with a broken foot, a sheriff's sergeant said. Haferkamp apparently hit a pothole, veered into the on-coming lane and collided with a car driven by Susan Ballard, 24, Coos Bay, who was uninjured, the sergeant said. No citations were issued, and the accident is still under investigation, the sergeant said.

NB incident reported Police are looking for the man responsible for accosting a 6-year-old girl in Pony Village Mall Wednesday, according to the North Bend Police Department. The incident took place about 6:30 p.m., police said. Further details and a description of the assailant were not available this morning, according to police. in in right omenta It's true. For the third time in two years, Pacific Power is asking the Oregon Public Utility Commission to reduce electricity prices.

On June 30, 1989, we requested the PUC to approve our filing that would, on average, reduce prices prior to application of the Northwest Power Act Schedule 98 Credit $16,563,000 or 2.9. If approved, this latest filing will mean Pacific Power's prices declined an overall 8 over the past two years. Details of this Application: This filing includes a reduction in the Schedule 98 Credit received by residential and small farm customers. This means that the net price reduction will be $12,518,000 or about 2.3. For the average Pacific Power residential customer using 1,022 kilowatt hours monthly a present bill of $53.79 would be reduced .91 cents to $52.88 or a net 1 .7 reduction.

Other customer classes would experience greater reductions as follows: Agricultural Pumping 1 Large General Service 3.2; and General Service Schedule 25, 3.0 The Company is proposing that decreases be applied on an equal percentage basis to the energy charge of each affected schedule. Non-seasonal demand charges for the major general service schedules are proposed. For residential customers, the net price of the first energy block will be maintained at the present level and the remaining revenue decrease will be applied to reduce the tailblock 'energy Customers may review copies of the company's testimony, application and exhibits at Pacific Power's main office, 920 S.W.
