PAGE FOURTEEN LONG ISLAND TRAVELER-WATCHMAN THURSDAY, JUNE 19, 1975 “Operation Bootstrap” Raising Funds Riverhead PRAN JACKSQN Aquebogue Jamesport The results of “ Operation Bootstrap” are visible on the corner of Hamilton Avenue and Pulaski Street, Riverhead, top: “ before” , below: “after” . The site was chosen as one of the first projects of Polish Town Civic Association’s Beautification Program. A small group of people from Riverhead’s Polish Town met a few months ago and decided Riverhead’s bicentennial celebration would not be complete without their representa tion. In what way could they accomplish something worthwhile? They walked down Pulaski Street and marveled anew at the industrious foresight of the builders of the beautiful twin- domed St. Isidore’s Church. They looked at the lovely old houses and thriving businesses and came to a decision. They formed the Polish Town Civic Association and decided on the beautification of Polish Town as their project. They wanted to get started without too much cost to the residents. That’s when “ Operation Bootstrap” was born. They bought paint, flowers and other necessities with donation they received and got to work. Volunteers raked, painted, planted and swept. They did a great deal, but much more has to be done. The one object in the way is lack of money. The answer they came up with is a “ Polish Town Street Fair.” It will be held on Saturday, August 16 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. On the day of the fair, Pulaski Street will be closed to traffic and tables and booths featuring crafts, antiques, food and local products will line the street. Cooks are getting their recipes ready for Galumpki (stuffed cabbage rolls), Pierogi (stuffed pastry), Krus- cyzki (sugared, flaky crullers), Kiel- basi and more. Artists are n eeded and youth bands are asked to call the committee to be assigned time slots. Anyone wishing a table at the fair should call A1 Barbanel at 727-4545 or Irene Pendzick at 722-3197.

Cars arrived from all over, sounding horns to greet the couple on their 25th wedding anniversary. Marge Rolle and Fran ces Mapes had planned a surprise party and a wonderful surprise it w a s . One th e y ’ll never forget. F a t h e r W e n d a , of St. Isid o r e ’s Church, said Mass for them on their patio with the garden and trees as a most fitting background. The wedding vows were renewed and a homily complimenting the Harrises on their good Christian life and the example they have given their three daughters, was said. After Mass, a champagne toast, buffet dinner and a four-tier wed ding cake (with the 25-year-old original ornam e n t on top) was enjoyed by the 65 guests. The cake was baked and decorated by Alice Zuhoski. After Helen and W e s opened their lovely gifts, they were serenaded by everyone with the Anniversary Waltz and a few lively Polish tunes. To date, the happy couple is still overwhelmed and know that they will never receive a gift as personal and memorable as their party.
