The two-seat Robinson R22 had been rented from Avia Flight Services Inc., a helicopter charter and instruction service in Corval lis, Linn County Sheriff Dave Burright said. The pilot was identified as Bernardo Rezende Da Cunha, 21, of Brazil. He was a student at Avia and was making a solo flight. He left the Corvallis airfield at about 8:30 a.m. No one saw the crash, Burright said. “A resident in the area heard the helicopter in the air and then heard the crash and saw smoke from where the chopper had gone down,” Burright said. The sheriffs office believes Cunha died on impact.

Ruling Japanese party solidly wins elections 3 TOKYO — The prime minis ter’s party, vowing to overhaul the bureaucracy that dominates Japanese policymaking, won a parliamentary election Sunday. The results of Sunday’s election mean all but certain reelection for current prime minister Ryutaro Hashimoto and a return to glory for the Liberal Democratic Party, which governed Japan alone from 1955 to 1993 before falling amid a series of corruption scandals. The Liberal Democrats won 239 of the 500 seats in Parliament’s lower house, which chooses the prime minister. The main opposition New Frontier Party took 156 seats, while the Democratic Party won 52. The Communist Party took 26 seats, up from 15. The new parliament is expect ed to convene at the end of this month or in early November to se lect the prime minister. %Mzza Pipeline Get the Geal Geal Try out our NEW Menu items ♦ Barbeque Chicken ♦ Artichoke Hearts ♦ Sun-dried Tomatoes Along with our IS already popular items I Any 12” ©8©-5808 3 ITEM FREE Soft Drink ONLY \m< FREE DELIVERY' INCLUDING UO CAMPUS!
