The reunion will bring some 100 people from all parts of the United States to Ogdensburg for the reu- nion to be held at the Gran View Restaurant and Motel on Aug. 27, 28 and 29th. The 359th Group which was part of the 8th Air Force in World War II, is comprised of the 368, 369 and 370th. Fighter Squadrons. Col. Bouchard himself was a fighter pilot. Their primary responsibility was flying escort to heavy bombers. He flew a P-47 or P-51. Bouchard spent seven years on active duty and 18 years in the reserves. He held the rank of Cap- tain when he left active duty. He retired from the reserves as a Lt. Colonel. The 359th Fighter Group is br- inging its reunion to Ogdensburg because Bouchard is currently ser- ving as president of the associa- tion. In 1988 it will be held at Or- chard Beach, Maine. In 1943 the Fight Group was sta- tioned at Thetford, England. \We returned to Thetford in 1985 for our reunion. The people were great to us and because of that we have established a $500 annual scholarship at the Charles Burrell High School in Thetford,\ he said. \We hold different fundraisers during the reunion to make certain that we have sufficient funds to maintain the scholarship,\ he said.

Mr. and Mrs. Richard Sowersbey, Fontana, California, wanted to come to the reunion, but can't. Mrs. Sowersbey is recover- ing from a heart attack and did the special needlework anddbnated it. \It's beautiful. I hope to have it on display for everyone to see,\ Bouchard said. Asked where the members of the 359th would be coming from, Bouchard laughed and said, all over the United States. California, Colorado, Alabama, Texas and 'Maine are just a few of the states that come to mind, he said. \This year we hope to pay special tribute to the ground per- sonnel who made it possible for the pilots to keep theplanesin the air,\ he said. \My crew chief, Floyd Myers, Leipiz, Ohio, is corning to Ogdensburg for the reunion. If it weren't for the great work and the many hourshe and his people spent on the plane that was assigned to me, I couldn't have stayed in the air,\ Bouchard commented. \We want to recognize all the ground crews and the support personnel.\ On Woman At Tavern BY SUE ELLEN Mc AD AM City police are on the lookout for two woman who allegedly punched and kicked a Canton woman in the head several times after she walk- ed outside of the Darkside Tavern Sunday morning, According to reports, the woman, who had a Blood Alcohol Content of .27 (.10 constitutes a DWI) was ad- mitted into A.

KURTBREIT perience for children.

The fourth member, Mike Lawver, who joined the group in 1972, comes from McClure, Pa. The word \versatility\ best describes the Jacobs Brpthers' pro- gram. Although they specialize in traditional and sacred music, their approach to the Gospel is varied by using the diversified talents of the singers throughout the concert. The end result is a program which is appealing to the young as well as to the older members of the au- dience. Many have testified that at- tendance at a Jacobs Brothers con- cert is truly an \unforgettable\ ex- perience. Hope Dumas Completes Training Navy Seaman Recruit Hope F. Dumas, daughter of Nellie M.

When Cummings and Ball inter- viewed her, she told them that she got a ride into Ogdensburg earlier in the evening and had gone to the Darkside Tavern on Lake Street. As she was leaving the tavern, an unknown woman grabbed her and started shoving her and using vulgarities, police say. Another woman appeared and held Parsons while thefirst woman started hitting her and then kicked her in the face several times, ac- cording to reports. Parsons told officers she did not know the women. But she did hear someone call the woman, who had kicked her, \Jamie.\ She said that \Jamie\ was heavy-set. According to police, the victim was accompanied to the hospital by Danny Ross. Police say he told them that he tried to break the fight up. And, a couple other men grabb- ed the woman who had been doing the kicking and held onto her. Ross said he brought Parsons to the hospital because it was apparent that she had been hurt. Ross also could not identifyeither woman. Parson was treated by Dr. Zongrove who ordered X-rays. The results showed that the woman suf- fered a minor facial and skull frac- ture. She was admitted into the hospital. Dr. Zongrove also advised police officers that Parsons had a BACof.27. Because Parsons was \intox- icated,\ police say they did not in- terview her further. Instead, they drove over to the Darkside Tavern but the tavern was closed and no one was in the area, say police. . Parsons was instructed to return to the police station for a follow-up on the case. Investigation into the assault is continuing, police say. Geologist Issues Report On Ogdensburg Earthquake POTSDAM — On July 4, 1987 at 10:37 p.m. (daylight savings time) an earthquake of magnitude 3.0, on the Richter Scale, shook the St. Lawrence Valley area in the vicini- ty of Brockville, Ontario, Canada, and Ogdensburg. The earthquake was recorded by the Potsdam State College Seismic Network on three seismographs. A study of the seismic records in- dicates the earthquake's epicenter was 44.70 degrees north latitude and 75.50 degrees west longitude at Ogdensburg. The origin time of the earthquake was 10 hrs:37 mins:10 sees., and the focal depth is estimated at about 10 kms. Dr. Frank Revetta, director of the Seismic Network at Potsdam State College's Geology Depart- ment, and assistant Virginia-Mary Marks, conducted a study of the in- tensity of the earthquake in the nor- thern New York-Ontario Canada area. An earthquake questionnaire was distributed to the newspapers to acquire information about the in- tensity of the earthquake. Over 92 residents (U.S. and Canada) returned questionnaires and let- ters. Evaluation of these responses in- dicated the earthquake had a max- imum intensity of IV on the Modified Mercalli Scale. Intensity IV means that the earthquake was felt indoors by many: dishes, win- dows, and doors were disturbed; and sounds like a heavy truck strik- ing the building were heard. Many residents reported the ear- thquake sounded like a loud explo- sion, furnace blowing up, or a loud sharp crack. One Prescott resident reported a flock of birds in her yard acting irratically just before the earthquake. A study of the responses enabled Dr. Revetta, and Virginia-Mary, to draw an isoseimal map which in- dicates the severity of the ground motion in the areas where the ear- thquake was felt. In addition to in- tensity IV; Heuvelton, Canton, Lisbon and Pierrepont (southeast direction) reported intensity III. Intensity III is felt indoors, especially on upper floors of Police Blotter buildings, and vibrations resemble a passing truck. Intensity II (recorded in Rensselaer Falls) was felt by few persons, and caused suspended objects to swing. The occurrence of this earth- quake, according to Dr. Revetta, was interesting for several reasons. The epicenter is located in the area where earthquakes do not frequently occur. Most of the earth- quakes in northern New York occur in a belt extending from northern New York into western Quebec, known as the Northern New York- Western Quebec Seismic Zone. Also, isoseimals of earthquakes in the St. Lawrence Valley usually extend northeast to southwest, whereas in this earthquake the isoseimals (I: III) extend southeastward. We wish to extend our thanks to the newspapers who published the earthquake questionnaires. Also, we thank the North Country and Canadian residents who supplied the data through questionnaires and letters by relating their ex- periences with the earthquakes.
