Do - It - Yourself Pension Plan

The do-i t-yourself pension plan, a relatively new pension program is meeting with a steady increase of inquiries as more citizens ask part icu ­lars on the IRA Individual Retire­ment Plan. Albin .lanUick, vicc- prcs ident and comptroller of the Southold Savings Bank, states:

“ An IRA is in tended to provide an income for you when you re tire. For this reason, the law imposes certain restr ictions on your right to w ith ­draw this money before ret irem ent and limits the kind of investm ent that can be m ade with these funds. The new option of an Individual Retire ­ment Account directly affects over 40

Southold’s new Democratic chairman W illiam H. Grigonis, shal<ing hands with the former chairman, Barbara Schriever, called for unified effort within the party.

During the Southold Democratic Comm ittee Convention held in the Veterans of Foreign W ars Hall April 19, William Grigonis narrowly d e ­feated incum bent B arbara Schriever in the race for the com m ittee chair ­m a n ’s seat .

A fte r the te llers confirmed Grigonis polled 1837 votes, 23 more than Mrs. Schriever. he told the party faithful " i t is t ime to pull this organization toge ther and make it a w in n e r .”

The district leaders re sponded to his call for unity by unanimously electing John Case, first vice chair ­man; David Hogan, second vice chairman, K atherine M arangas , 't reasurer, and Ruth Zulewski, sec re ­tary.

The local D emocrats plan to use the executive com mittee , the chairman and five officers, and five zone leaders to be appointed at a la ter da te to develop a solid Democratic voting block.

Roll Call Delayed

Before roll call b egan , the com m it­teem en and party regu la rs en te red the hall and a rrang ed them se lves into nine distinct g roups .

Grigonis sea ted with H ogan, arose and asked C hairperson Schriever why the convention, se t to s ta r t at 8 p .m , , was being delayed. She did not respond to this inquiry and 5 m inutes la ter William Pell, com m it teem an from the fourth district, and John Case, pres iden t of the Cutchogue- Polish Democratic Club, voiced o b ­jections by s ta ting a quorum was present.

Schriever recorded the ir s t a te ­m ents and said they were waiting for Catherine M arang as to arr ive. M a r ­angas , a com m itteew om an from the 13th district , la ter cast 109 g u b e r ­natorial votes for Schriever.

At this point Grigonis said he would reg is te r a s trong protest with the County Democratic Com m ittee in relation to the unnecessary delay. He also reques ted the protest be logged in the official m inutes .

M arangas en te red m om en ts la ter and the nominating b egan with Pell’s endorsem en t of Grigonis, a life long

resident of Southold Town and a m em ber of the Southold School Board for 19 years , and a m e m b er of the party for nine years .

Charles Edwards, com m itteem an in the sixth dis trict, nominated Mrs.

Schriever by s ta ting she led the party from her appoin tm ent to the chair ­m a n 's post last July, through the N ovember election and the primary race on April 6.

T hecom m it tcem en moved through the roll call quickly as Grigonis began his victory drive by taking 71 votes delivered to him by the F ishers Island com mitteewom cn. They did not a t ­tend the convention but voted via proxy bal lots . He also carr ied all the votes from the 7th, 9th. 15th and 16th dis tr icts for a subtotal of 1083. His o ther 754 votes cam es from the dis tr icts which split the ir tally b e ­tween the two candidates .

Mrs Schriever swept the fifth, sixth and 13th districts for a subtotal of 1059, 754 from the o ther dis tricts for a total of 1813.

While the vote was being tabulated Stanley Corwin said he will reg is ter a high personal protest with county organization since his nam e was excluded from the roll call list. Corwin, a fo rm er com m itteem an from the 5th district! was unsea ted during the primary since ne i ther he nor Lillian Katz received a clear majori ty of the vote, totaling 17 votes each. Max Katz received 20 votes and rep resen ted the district at the con­vention.

Corwin s ta ted that a holdover com m it teem an re ta ins his right to vote in the convention if tie occurs in a primary race.

Schriever did not accept his ruling and said Frank Coveney, the party 's com missioner of elections, ru led that Katz was the only com m itteem an from the 5th district with proper credentials .

Protest Lodged

After losing the election Schriever filed a protest s ta ting the original proxy bal lots had been a l tered . John C a se ’s nam e had been placed on the

Cutchogue has been quietly busy in the last few weeks p repar ing for the Bicentennial sum m er . A large group of young women have des igned a quilt depicting historic scenes of Southold Town. The sewing of the scenes on squares of about 18 inches will be completed by the end of April. Then another group of young ladies will take over and join them toge ther along with o ther squa res of apro- priate colors. Then the backing and other sewing necessary will be done. The entire quilt should be finished by the end of May. The scene from Cutchogue will be an in terior room of the Old House. T here are at least 25 ladies involved in this project and they a re expert . The quil t material is being financed by the Cutchogue- New Suffolk C ham ber of Comm erce for that portion tha t has not been donated by others . The quilt when finished will be raffled off sometime before Labor Day. It will be on display in various places th roughout the township during the sum m er . It will be a work of art with an es t im ated value of over $2,000 dollars. The ladies are donating ^heir time and effort to this wonderful work.

Another big event be ing quietly planned for is the Bicentennial Barn Dance to be held on Friday, July 2, at Glover’s Barn on Cox’s Lane. It also is being sponsored by the C ham ber of Commerce. It is expec ted that it will be bigger and be t te r than last y ea r ’s dance, with a big barn dance band coming all the way from M assa ­chuset ts for the night. One can dance most of the night and then be ready for the gigantic an t ique flea market on the Village G reen the next m orn ­ing, sponsored by the Cutchogue- New Suffolk Historical Council.

The Cutchogue - New Suffolk Cham ber of Comm erce met last Wednesday at the Blue Top Inn. The float committee for the Bicentennial

Incredible Parade repor ted that funds a re needed for this project and donations for this may be sent to the C ham ber at Cutchogue, N.Y. 11935.

In o ther C ham ber repor ts it was noted that a n u m ber of res iden ts of Oregon Road are complaining about the num ber of near accidents at the crossroads of Oregon Road and Depot Lane and would like the "Y ie ld”

signs changed back to the full "S to p ” . The C ham ber voted to write to the proper authorit ies and reques t the change.

The Cutchogue Fire Departm ent responded to an alarm at Hill’s Superm arket on Saturday afternoon at 5 p .m . The call cam e from the Acme Alarm Company on the west end of the island. Sixty seven men and six pieces of appara tus resp ond ­ed under the direction of Chief Matthew Martin. It was a false alarm. The approximately 100 Easter shop ­pers in the store continued their buying. It was the third time in three weeks that the alarm system in the

store has malfunctioned. W e hope it is not a case of crying wolf once too often.

The Fire D epartm ent was called again at 5:53 p .m . on Sunday by the brush fire on Broadwaters Road in Nassau Point. It was quickly extin ­guished by the high p ressure fog trucks u nd er Chief M artin . Chief Martin rem inds everyone that b u rn ­ing permits a re su sp ended due to the extremely dry w eather. The su spen ­sions will be lifted when we get a good soaking rain. Meanwhile, no open burning.

Aggie Culture reports that the pota toes are about planted and due to the fine weather, finished weeks ahead of last y e a r ’s planting. A little rain now with the 80 deg ree heat early this week should get them growing in a hurry. Incidently, the big record breaking heat wave b rought sun wor­shipers to the local beaches on Saturday and Sunday. A few, very few, tried the water, bu t i t 'w a s too cool yet for swimming.

Birthday greet ings to Phil Norklun, Bruce Case and Stanley Ambroski, April 23, John Zuhoski, III. 24th, Tom Lademann, 26th, Fran Victoria, 27th, and Karen McCabe, Cheryl Zuhoski and Darlene Bakowski, 28th.

Anniversary best wishes to Irene and Chet Saw-astynowicz, April 24, Emily and Bill Borkowski, 27th, Louise and Albert Grohoski, 27th, Rita and Edward Grohoski, 28th, Barbara and John H aurus , 28th, and Ann and John Elak, 29th.
