FORT COVINGTON SUN Fort Covmgton, N.Y. 12937 Second class postage paid at FortCovington, N.Y. 1S37 tt Established 1885 Fort Covington, New York 12937 Price 30c USPS 205-680 Edition 311 April 10,1986 Greg Bombard Reenlists in Unique Location Blood l n the News Petty Officer 2nd Class Gregory Bombard (H) and Commanding Officer of the Blue Crew of the USS ALABAMA, Captain Malcolm Wright. (Photo- Officer Herb Velez) By Carrie Hartshorne ATLANTA, Ga. — Bom- bay Navy professional Grego- ry Bombard chose the teak- wood deck of the decommissioned battleship USS ALABAMA (BB-60) in Mobile, Ala. as the site for his 5 February reenlistment. Bombard, the son fo Mr. and Mrs. Robert L. Bombard of Bombay, raised his right hand and was reenlisted by Captain Malcolm Wright, Commanding Officer of the Gold Crew of the submarine USS ALABAMA (SSBN- 731). Asked why he chooses a career in the Navy, Bombard responded, \One of the main reasons I reenlisted in the Navy was for the guarantee of a steady and hard paced job with many challenges and the chance to travel and see the world. I am presently serving my sea duty tour on the elite of the fleet/' Bombard, a five year Navy veteran, is a chef aboard the trident submarine. The sub- marine was visiting in Mobile while transiting to her new homeport in Bangor, Wash. In addition to enjoying tradition- al \southern hospitality,\ the submarine held an Exchange of Command ceremony be- tween Gold and Blue cross (all ballistic missile submarines have two crews which alter- nate between patrols). As to why he finds chef duty aboard a trident subma- rine challenging, Bombard said, \The size of the twc different galleys and the styk of feeding differ greatly. On the fast attack submarine (his previous duty), the entire operation is fast paced and very small. It's also very fast paced on a trident (but) there's more room. You can definitely see the two differences imme- diately. But it's a challenge and one I enjoy applying myself to.\ PUBLIC HEARING CONSUMER WEEK '86 HE N.YS.

Sponsored by the senior class of SRCS, the clinic will be open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and will have 12 beds for blood donors, thus accommodating as many as 168 individuals. Glenn Bissell, faculty advi- sor of the senior class, will again be coordinating donor recruitment efforts. Bissell stated, \the last clinic our students sponsored saw 130 people turn out to give blood and 61 of that number were first time donors. Sev- eral, of course, were seniors at that time and we hope that many of those people will donate again next Wednesday if they are still in this area. \Residents of the Fort Covington area have also been responsive in donating at the clinics and we invite them to give blood again this time.\ In explaining who can give blood, Bissell said anyone from 17 to 66 years of age, weighing at least 110 pounds and in general good health, is eligible. Appointments for donating blood may be made by calling the Salmon River Central School office, 358-9510, or the Red Cross office, 483-7430. However, walk-ins will be welcome, Chairman Bissell explained. Give blood! It was meant to circulate! Teenage Pregnancy Program Preview Parents are invited to pre- view a prospective ten day curriculum on the ramifica- tions of teenage pregnancy. The presentation will be given for parents on Monday, April 14th at 7:00 p.m. in the lecture hall at Salmon River Central School. Ann Marie McDonald, Co- ordinator of the Adolescent Pregnancy/Parent Program at St. Regis Health services, along with Annabelle Kerwin and Connie Gerow, Health teachers will present through the showing of VCR's \Eve- rybody's Doing It; Coping with Peer Pressure: Getting Along Without Going Along; Young Single and Pregnant; A New Prespective\ and the movie \Teenage Father;\ and a situation project where the students become parents and have to deal with the day-to- day experiences of having a family. This program is being pres- ented to assist the many young people today who don't realize the impact a teenage preg- nancy can have on a family. Being young and a parent, car- ing for another person when needing care themselves is hard work for a teenager. Learning to cope with little free time, if any, for dating, going to movies and dances, just being alone, budgeting money for diapers, formula, baby clothes and clothes for themselves, are all life's learn- ing experiences. It is hoped that with this presentation, the students will realize the result of sexual activity and that, in some instances, being a teenage par- ent isn't the easiest way out from parental influence and interference, abuse, neglect, or the \growing pains\ ado- ' lescents have. While we were on vacation; TRU-STITCH STRIKE AVERTED On Monday night, March 31st, Tru-Stitch workers had voted 538-167 to go on strike unless an acceptable contract was offered since the con- tract had expired at that time.

Highlight of the new con- tract included an improved health plan, an increase in piece and hourly rates, a paid off day, the formation of a labor-management commit- tee, supervisor-trainee status to the qualified and a recall list based on seniority.
