The bulk of this time and effort is voluntary and takes place frequently on holidays and weekends. The Civic Association's main project for the next 12 months will be updating and revising the Growth Plan.. We will be forming a subcommittee for this pu . . the vital organizations. A page of e B SIC Assumption his useful and important document follows' and we would appreciate your review and comments, negative or positive, on any aspect of these. We encourage your input and need your help to keep this plan relevant.. The Directors of the Civic Association want to thank all of you for your continued support in our endeavors to try to accomplish our goals.

We are extremely pleased that Karen Lamb, who has served as ~ssistant director for the past two years, will return as this year's director. Karen is an' elementary school teacher and an accomplished athlete who will be fortunate to have an older, more experienced staff of young men and women to assist her this summer. Karen and her staff are working on plans for many new ventures. In addition to the traditional programs of arts & crafts, swimming, and games, there will be an array of new activities for the children to choose from: - tennis lessons on the newly refurbished town courts - group soccer lessons - ongoing weekly Field Day competition Although IPP's main project each year is the summer program, the organization does so much more for the families of our community by sponsoring: - Easter Egg Hunt - 4th of July Bicycle Parade - Halloween Costume.and Pumpkin Carving Contest - Arts and Crafts Fairs on the green each July and August - Nature Walks with Mr. Horning every Tuesday during the program - Sunset Sing-along at South Beach (new this year) We provide places for young children, their families and friends to gather together. Drive by the IPP ball field and see people playing softball, football or soccer. IPP also owns and maintains Dock Beach where the youngest family members often experience their first taste of sand and older children discover hermit crabs. In order to offer these activities and maintain our properties we need your support. There are many associated costs, particularly the salaries necessary to attract staff capable of running a quality and safe summer program, and the continually rising insurance requirements for the operation of our progams and maintenance of our properties. We make every effort to keep registration fees low in order to encourage everyone to participate. Because only 20% of our yearly costs are recovered through fee collections, contributions from friends are vital to maintain these popular activities and properties. We thank our past supporters and hope you will be able to contribute generously this year! Sincerely, M. Elizabeth Savage - President Cynthia Gillan - Treasurer Sara Mullen - Dir.

J. . . . . . FISHERS ISLA~~X ~~ YORK 06390 . . . . . . Looking for something fun for you and your family to do on a weekend evening? Why not try bowling? The Island Bowling Center, located right behind the school, is just the place for folks of all ages. There's a snack bar where you can get fries, milk shakes, ice cream, and other good things to eat. There's also ten-pin bowling on our four lanes. Two lanes even have "gutter guards" which enable younger bowlers to knock pins down like a pro! For most of the year, the Bowling Center" is open to the public on Fridays and Saturdays from 6:45 'til 9:30 PM; however, during "movie season" it is only open on Saturdays. (Winter- time operations include two additional evenings for league bowling.) You can call the Center at 788-7601 to confirm whether or not it's open. The staff of the Center is comprised completely of volunteers" who work once a month or so. Their dedication helps keep costs down, which is crucial for the Center's survival. Volunteers include: Deb Borgert Stu Borgert Annie Burnham Mike Conroy Dave Denison Jeff Edwards Nancy Edwards Bob Evans Louisa Evans Patty Faulkner Cindy A. Gillan Cindy S. Gillan JoAnne Gillan Mary Horn Sue Horn Eileen Lanier Ken Lanier Mark Malone Pam Malone Mario Palermo Greg Thibodeau Kristin Wall Steve Walter The Island Bowling Center is a not-for-profit organization which provides the only year-round family recreation on Fishers Island. By visiting the center, you can help keep it in business. Your support is needed! 5 Fishers Island Civic Association Rodent Control Program As you know, we live on an island. While island living certainly has its advantages, it also has a few problems. One of these is RATS. With the recent closing of the garbage dump, many rats have become homeless, or at least foodless. Since they cannot leave the island, they must look for other places to live where food is available. This means YOUR yard. The Civic Association Rodent Control Program purchases large quantities of poison rat food and makes it available for all residents. (In 1992 over 200 pounds of poison was distributed.) The bait is one of the safest, most selective, and most effective products on the market, but it must be used as directed and stored out of the reach of children. In conjunction with the rodent control program, the Junior Class at Fishers Island School builds and sells feeder stations as a class fund-raising project. The boxes are made from wood, painted with a preservative, and designed specifically for use with the current type of rat poison. If you would like to obtain some rodent bait or to order a feeder station, please call me at 788-7514 and I will arrange a convenient pickup time.

(516) 788.7444 FISHERS ISLAND SCHOOL In September of 1992 seventy-six students started the 1992-1993 school year. This was an increase of nine students from the previous year. On June 25, 1993, four seniors graduated. The commencement speaker was Connecticut State Senator Catherine Cook. All four seniors were magnet students. At present seven new students have been selected to attend Fishers Island School in 1993-1994. The low teacher-student ratio continues to be the major attraction for parents of children from Connecticut. After 1 1/2 years of work the Board of Education completed work on the total revision of district policy. As a result the district policies are up-to-date and in complete compliance with State and Federal education regulations. The other major task has been the establishment of the Compact for Learning committee. This State mandated committee is made up of parents, teachers, a board member and the superintendent. The purpose of the committee is to vest all parties involved in education with input into the process. The first task of the committee is to develop a district plan that must be submitted to the State Education Department for approval. The 1993-94 school year will see the installation of a computer assisted research station in the llbrary. This station will include a CD ROM configuration that will allow students to access information from encyclopedias and other research volumes. The second step of the project will include hooking up with the Suffolk County Public Library system. This will allow students to access information from the Suffolk County system. Under the auspices of the Fishers Island Public Library the general public will also be able to use this system. On behalf of the board of education and myself I wish to thank all members of the community for their support during the past year. The children of the district benefit greatly from the support provided by the community for the district's educational programs and its extracurricular programs. Kenneth A. Lanier, Sr. Superintendent 7 ~1 ~ RAYMOND W. EDWARDS TOWN JUSTICE BOX 485 FISHERS ISLAND.

BOX 344 FISHERS ISLAND. NEW YORK 06390 June, 1993 Dear Island Resident: Twenty years ago, the Island Health Project, Inc. was formed with the help of Mr. Henry King, as a tax-deductible organization to meet the medical needs of Fishers Island. Along with the full- time doctors we have employed, St.Luke's/Roosevelt Hospital has supplied doctors to the Island, first in the 70's and continuing with our excellent coverage since the 80's. L&M Hospital also plays an important part as the receiving hospital for patients who need this type of care. The Project's need for financial support continues! Our budget remains pretty much as in the past but, of course, with increases in most areas. A copy of our revenue and disbursements for the past year is enclosed with this letter as well as the schedule of doctors who will be with us this summer. We hope you will continue to be generous with your contribution this year, which will allow us to meet our goal of providing the best medical coverage we can for you. Contributions should be made out to: Island Health Project, Inc., and are fully tax deductible. Thank you for your support.

Usage has remained constant through the first five months of 1993.. As of June 18, 1993 the District has initiated an additional weekday trip leaving New London at 5:00 a.m. and Fishers Island at 6:00 a.m. Monday through Thursday, and leaving Fishers Island at 5:45 a.m.~ on Friday. This trip is in response to the request of year round residents who desire the opportunity to work off island. The Ferry District is proceeding with its plans to enlarge and improve the New London terminal. At the present time the District is working unilaterally on applications for permits from the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers and the State of Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection. Plans for the terminal expansion were presented at the May meeting of the Fishers Island Civic Association. An article concerning the plans appears in the May issue of the Fishers Island GAZETTE. . As many of you may have already noted, the amount of space available for parking at the New London terminal has been drastically reduced. This was done to allow freight and traffic operations to be accomplished with a greater degree of safety than in past years. Parking is at the far end of the lot between signs delineating the area to be used. Crew parking is on the west side of the lot where freight flats area stored. Vehicles found parked in other areas of the lot or in crew parking are subject to being towed. For safety reasons, persons whose vehicles are at the stern of a vessel will not be allowed to remain in the vehicles. In order better to accommodate automobile patrons, an effort is being made to limit the number of large trucks carried on the 11:15 a.m., 12:45 p.m., and 3:30 p.m. boats during the summer period from June 18th through Labor Day weekend. The dock area at Fishers Island is designated for thirty minute parking to enable persons meeting boats to have a place to park. There is ample long term parking available along the bank and road area across from the dock, on the north side of the Coast Guard Station, and on the north side of the long brick building. Please cooperate in not leaving your vehicle where it does not belong. 14 When picking up freight, please do not leave your cartons, wrappings, bands, etc. Take them with you and dispose of them as you would your household trash and garbage. The Good Garbage Fairy does not reside at the Ferry Dock! . We encounter many instances where persons order food or have medicine coming and then do not come to pick it up. Most food and medicine comes to the Island on the 3:30 p.m. boat from New London and arrives on Fishers Island about 4:10 p.m. If you have ordered food or are expecting medicine, please be here to get it!! We cannot be responsible for food spoiling when we are unable to contact you. DO WE KNOW YOU? If you are new to the Island or renting and not listed in the telephone book, please notify us as to who you are and where we can reach you. It will save all of us, and possibly you, a lot of time and trouble. United Parcel Service_and Federal Express shipments may be made through the Ferry District Office. When utilizing Federal Express, letters or packages should be delivered to the Ferry District office before 12:00 noon if you wish next day delivery. . DATES TO REMEMBER: The Annual Election of a Commissioner of the Fishers Island Ferry District for a term of 5 years will be held on Tuesday, August 10, 1993 between the hours of 2:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m..at the Fishers Island Fire House. Electors of the District qualified to vote for Town Officers of the Town of Southold at the preceding Town Election AND owners of real property situate within the Fishers Island Ferry District upon the last preceding town assessment roll shall be eligible to vote. The Annual Meeting to present estimated revenues and expenditures for the fiscal year January I, 1993 through December 31, 1993 will be held in the Fishers Island School on Friday, August 20, 1993 at 6:00 p.m. 15 FIS~ERS ISLAND GARBAGE AND REFUSE DISTRICT I I=ISHERS ISLAND, NEW YORK 06390 , 5 June, 1993 Fishers Island Civic Association Fishers Island, NY 06390 . De'ar Members: The program for waste disposal on Fishers Island now involves transfer of all waste material to off- Island processing facilities, with the exception of leaves, clippings, brush, logs and stumps. Such landscaping materials are currently being deposited at the old "burn dump" site, where they are chipped and ultimately will be converted to compost. The transfer station, which began operations on January 1, 1992, provides facilities for the disposal of household wastes: domestic garbage; newspaper and cardboard; recyclable bottles, cans and plastic containers; and wood scraps. At the "burn dump" site, additional containers are now provided for disposal of household materials such as metals, rugs, mattresses, etc. All of these materials are transported off-Island for final disposal. Contractors are responsible for the off-Island disposal of their own construction and demolition debris. The old "metal dump., closed since August, 1992, is classified as a landfill by the New York Department of Environmental Conservation, and the material at this site must be removed. This dump site historically has been under the management of the Town of Southold, and, under the terms of an agreement with the Fishers Island Garbage and Refuse District formalized in November, 1992, the Town has assumed responsibility for its closure and capping. As part of the closure and capping process for the Pickett landfill, tests are currently being taken to determine if toxic substances in subsurface water are leaching from the site. If the results are negative, this landfill will be capped during 1994 according to NYDEC specifications. The testing should be completed during the summer of 1993. 16 In August, 1992, arrangements were made for one day of collection of toxic household wastes," inqluding oil~based paints, pesticides and herbicides, and used oil. Another toxic waste collection day is scheduled for Saturday, 28 August, 1993. Although the current system of off-Island disposal has proven to be workable and has had minimum impact upon the Island environment, it adds significantly to the traffic burden of the ferry, particularly during mid- summer. Furthermore, off"-Island disposal is obviously more expensive than the previous systems of garbage disposal at a local landfill and the burning of other waste materials. The FIGRD Board of Commissioners wishes to express its appreciation to the Fishers Island Ferry District for its cooperation, as well as to the many Island residents who have complied with the new garbage disposal regulations. Sincerely, G. C. Matthiessen Secretary 17 THE HENRY L. FERGUSON MUSEUM 1993 SPECIAL SUMMER EXHIBITION OF '93 "THE OLMSTED YEARS - -1920's (opens Thursday, July 15,5:00 [0 6:30) The development of the 1,800 acres west of the "Gate" in the 1920's is the subject forthe special summer of 1993 exhibition at The Henry L Ferguson Museum. Research for this project was first instigated by Fishers Islander Tom Patterson, whose article in a recent Gazette sparked the idea for a '93 exhibition. In the fall of 1992 another Islander, Helen Scott Reed, put the museum in contact with Susan L Klaus, who was researching the city planning of Frederick Law Olmstead Jr., 1905-1915. EL Olmsted Sr. is perhaps best known as the designer of Central Park in New York City. "THE OLMSTED YEARS - - THE 192Os" is presented as a research exhibition into the phenomena of resort developmental that time. Through blueprinl', plot plans and photographs of some of the original 60 houses, the museum exhibition will present a view of lhe Fishers Island Club's develpmenl during its first few years. ARCHAEOLOGY - - MAY 1993 AN EXCITING FIND' The great find wa, made at Tunle Pond on Friday, May 14, by an experienced volunteer, Dave Crosby. Dave was working very carefully and slowly in hIS assigned meler square, since he had a hearth to uncover. Each teaspoonful of soil had to be sifted through a wire strainer in a search for smaJl artifacl'\, possibly bean seed"i, maize kemals or beads. As Dave tells it, he wac.; suddenly struck on the chin by something and when he lookeddown, he thought that he had bropken his trowel. There lay a llattish object about 3.5 inches long. He ga<;ped when he picked it up and sa\\-' lhis wondrous bird effigy. Dr. Bob Funk was at the site talking with a group of sixth grade studenL... from Ledyard, Connecticut, when Dave rushed over with his find. Dr. Funk could notbclievc at first that it had come from this sitc. But it had, and all cvidence indicates that the effigy had been made ri ght there, because of other, smaller frd.gmenl<; of copper that had been found previously althe SltC. "BIRD EFFIGY" - COPPER 3 " LATE WOODLAND PERIOD "CONTACT" C. ]500 - 1600 A.D. UNIQUE TO THE NORTHEAST' NATURE NOTES Cumtor of the Museum, Edwin H. Hommg, a.... wc all know, is an oUL'ilanding sclcntist and very knowledgeable in many fields: ornithology, geology, meteorology, and natural history, particularly with flora of the Island. He and Gordon Tucker of the New York State Museum In Albany have identified 720 species of noraon Fishers. Of these, 45 arc considered rare in New York State, and on Fishers all of these rarities occur on 4.1 square miles, which makes the Island one of the most significant concentrations of rare planL' in the state. Gordon Tucker recently completed the Fishers Island Waler Supply and Walershed Study. The repon is dedicated to four individuals whose previous studies of natural history of the Island have provided an invaluable foundation for the present study of the watershed area: HENRY L FERGUSON, H. LEE FERGUSON JR., CHARLES C. HANMER and HAROLD ST. JOHN. What a fine tribute! How would you like 10 get up at 6 a.m. on January 2, with the winq gusting NW 1040? Even Ed Homing thought that it was a nasty day for the Chris1ma'i bird count He and his son George identified 48 species that day. With many more observers in the New London area, therc was a record count there of 114 species!. 18 ! n April of this spring The Henry L. Ferguson Museum rewarded Ed and His \l,:ife Kay with financial help for a trip of their choicc. They chose to accompany Bob Dewire of Nature Scapes of Mystic, ConnecticUl, on a bird [rip to the southwest Texas gulf coast and lowcr Rio Grande Valley. For the HQrnings it was a hugely successful adventure, and Ed added something like 60 new bird identifications to his life list, including the endangered whooping crane. For many years the Museum has aided the Great Gull Island tern project, which is under the directIOn of Helen Hays and the Linnaean Socieryof New York. By identifying on May 15-16 a total of 68 species, we made a donation of $68 to help with the terns. After all, one good tern deserves another! Ed's final nature notes reveal that there are 500 Double-aested Cormorants nesting on the Pine Islands and that there are 7 active osprey nests on the Island. On Stony Beach there are 300 Herring Gulls and 40 Black-backed Gulls. Professional Art Bulger and Ed Homing agree that the spring warbler migration was down in numbers this year. An's observations were made in Virginia and Ed's, on the Island. Let us hope this is not a trend for future years. MEMBERSHIP We are pleased to repon that for the first tIme in the 33 years of its existence, memhership in the Museum has climbed to over 200 individuals and families. In 1991 we counted 189 and by February 1993,214 "Friends" were members. However, in order to contribute significantly to the cullural and educational life of the Island, we are actively seeking new members. Join us today in our effons to preserve our wonderful and fragile Island and to save for future generations our rich history and the flora and fauna that is so unique to our 3,000 acres. . LANDTRUST Dunng the past year there were sereral conversations with individuals concerning the donation of private land to the Museum Land Trust. It is the sincere hope of the Land Trust committee and the Museum that donations, either by gift or casement, will be Seriously considered. Presently, approximately 60 acres in 9 kx;ations are under the management or the Museum, :2 althe west end and 7 "'up" Island. \Vc urge Islanders to take time and viSit eilher the Bnckyard Sanctuary with iL'i lralIs on 15 acres or the Betty Mattiessen Wildlife Sanctuary, With its tr.lil gUIde and 8 acres situated in the Oyster Pond. For further information about the Land Trust, contact any of [he committee members: F. Bocker Doyle Jr., G. Carey Maltbiessen, Roben J. Miller, Richard Baker and Jean Lcuchtenburg.

('\ -- ., r'.."","" ~ .' .-"---'.'., ~ ~ \{'''~<8 -"'~ ~5~ " ~" ~-- ~ ~ \....-..../ ---- BOX 553 FISHERS ISLAND, NEW YORK 06390 Annual Report to the Civic Association: 1992-93 . The Fishers Island Conservancy has been inflved in many projects over the past year. Some have been complete and some are continuing. A brief summary follows: (1) Perhaps the major environmental issue facing Fishers Island at the present time lies in the all-too-current schemes being developed by Connecticut politicians and the u.s. Navy to develop and deepen 8 miles of the Thames River channel from the New London Harbor entrance to Gales Ferry sub base, and then to deposit the polluted dredge spoil in an already used dump site just 17, miles off Fishers Island's north-west shore. Over 2.7 million cubic yards of polluted dredge spoil would need to be capped by at least that much of clean material before this environmentally risky project could be completed. Indeed, the politicians' plans to turn sleepy New London into a super-port for super tankers in addition to Navy submarines would not only vastly increase the above figures, but would give most citizens, anu all environmentalists, nightmares. ,It all just defies common sense, not to mention most of the environmental laws of N.Y. State and Connecticut to proceed with a plan such as this without planning to even consider alternate dump, sites. If all this goes through, what will happen to the many efforts to finally clean up Long Island Sound? At all events, the Conservancy finds itself in a lead role in opposing these huge, and highly pollutive plans by politicians and the Navy to possibly mar forever Fishers Islan& fragile ecology. We welcome both support and allies in our efforts to protect both Fishers Island and its surrounding waters. (2) One of our most successful projects was completed this spring when the nearly-blocked channel into Hay Harbor was dredged out to a four foot low tide depth. Over $12,000 of Conservancy funds went into this project undertaken jointly with the Hay Harbor Club. Even last fall (when the project was three-fourths complete) bluefish were spotted in the inner parts of Hay Harbor for the first time in years, and the velocity and speed of the tidal currents seemed much improved. Further measurements will be undertaken this summer to closely monitor the situation, and the Conservancy stands ready, as does the Hay Harbor Club, to maintain the progress already made towards a cleaner Hay Harbor. (3) The Conservancy-Suffolk County jointly sponsored study on the Fishers Island reservoir watersheds is now nearing completion. \ihile a few matters need to be resolved in the water supply- engineering part of the study, the natural resource inventory segment of the project is at last finished. And while complete details 22 - 2 - must await the final compilation and release of the full report, it can be stated now (and probably to no one's surprise) that these sensitive watershed areas contain habitats for over 30 rare and/or endangered species of plants and other natural wildlife, including birds, mammals, reptiles, etc.. No wonder that Suffolk County has classfied Fishers Island as a "Critical Environmental Area" - for that is what it surely is. (4) Water pollution studies and tests that in 1992 led to the drive to clean up Hay Harbor will of course continue in the 1993 summer and fall seasons. This monitoring, which is free of charge to everyone, will re-commence in July of ~993, and continue the rest of the year, while spotlighting West Harbor and other potential trouble spots as well as Hay Harbor. We are also glad to report that the old pollution problem drifting into the Ferguson Bird Sanctuary from West Street, has hopefully been solved by the installation over the past winter of three separate septic systems covering the area involved. We will continue to keep an eye on this area, but we are delighted that something positive has been done to clean up a very troublesome "hot spot". !1rs. W.L. Lyons Brown, Jr. Mrs. Thomas W.

Wray (5) The brevity of this report sadly lacks the space for detail to cOVer many of our other activities during the past year. As instances, we mounted a full environmental alert when oil from a New London-wrecked oil barge brushed the shores of Fishers Island, but thankfully causing little damage. We also, in 1992 as well as this current year, have done all we can to help make the Islands Mosquito Control Program a success. Though basically run by Suffolk County, FIDCO, and Southold Town, funds are chronically short, despite the environmentally sound elements to the program that make it one of the safest anywhere. We are glad to pitch in where needed to help the program succeed. We also have spent time in trying to get Southold Tmvn to clean up the "metal dump" on the Island, and we have also spent time trying to persuade our own Garbage District to provide free chipping and brush disposal services to those home owners and contractors who need it. We also, when asked, provide free environmental advice to home owners. The Conservancy, it should be stated, does not oppose construction of new homes on Fishers Island. What it does stand for is building within the framework of existing environmental and zoning laws as passed by State, County, and Town. We make no apology for either obeying the laws or for trying to tell others how much Fishers Island's future depends on their environmental responsibility today. To all of our many contributors, and to all Fishers Islanders who benefit from our work - we extend our thanks. A better Fishers Island is certainly our goal and we thank you especially for helping to make this possible. The Fishers Island Conservancy Board Mr. Barry R.

Manag,er TO: Fishers Island Civic Association FROM: Robert B. Calhoun President - FIDCO DATE: June 28, 1993 SUBJ: 1993 Report The last year has been reasonably active for FIDCO. Highlights are set forth below under headings for our various departments: East End Road Svstem - Expanded work on the non-paved roads continued with successful use of a new graystone material. A new tractor with brush cutting attachment was acquired. We recognize the road sides looked a bit "shaved". this Spring - a temporary condition. A speed bump was placed at the East End Gate House for use during June, July and August. The section of the lower Clay Point Road, which was virtually destroyed by Hurricane Bob, remains officially closed as the cost of restoration is prohibitive. Fishers Island Club - Land was made available to the Club for their Maintenance Barn and FIDCO joined with the Club in the repairs to the East End Dock. FIDCO leases to the Club the land and most of the buildings it uses. . FIDCO Marina The Five Year Capital Expenditures Program to rebuild the docks and upgrade water and electrical systems continues. FIDCO leases operations of the Marina to Pirates Cove Marine and leases a building to the Yacht Club. Utilities - FIDCO owns 49% of the Telephone and Electric companies and 60% of the Water Company, all of which are independently managed. We are quite satisfied with the status of these companies although remaining particularly alert to issues affecting the Island's water supply. ~ Among other activities, we continued to upgrade Building 98, one of the large brick buildings in the Fort area. FIDCO's objective is to provide useable commercial space in the building to Island businesses. #941 RBC 6/28193 24 > WALSH PARK BENEVOLENT CORPORATION . The development of the 12 site parcel at North Hill is nearing culmination. The seventh home is being completed for the Edward Scroxton family. In addition, the board has approved 5 additional applications. We commend current Walsh Park owners for their diligence in enhancing their homesites. We would also like to thank the many neighbors of Walsh Park for their understanding during this long period of development. For the future, we will do our part in monitoring the current development. We will also stand ready to playa role in rental or owned housing if the need arises. Special thanks to board member and Vice President, Tom Doherty for representing the Corporation in all matters of development and oversight. Sincerely yours, > Frank W. Burr President Directors O. J.

The DEC has permanently closed some areas to shellfish harvesting because of these hot spots. LAUNCHING RAMP- The Town has funded the dredging of our boat ramp in Pirates Cove and will be installing a concrete ramp to greatly improve the launching of small boats. MOORING AREAS- To date, we have issued 93 permits for moorings. This includes 6 new requests, all from Island residents. Permit fees were increased this year, resulting in $11,000. in reserves. In 1992, an inventory of all mooring tackle was conducted. Minimum guidelines were established, using Chapman's Cruising Guide. All mooring owners whose tackle did not meet the guidelines were required to upgrade their facilities. An annual inspection regulation was introduced to assure proper maintenance. All permit hOlders have agreed to this program. , In the continuing gridding program, the Town moved several moorings to produce a new area restricted to the mooring of our classic IOD fleet. Six boats are now located in this area, directly off the Yacht Club. A seventh is expected shortly. The Town will continue its gridding program by moving additional moorings this summer. COURTESY PROGRAM-Residents should be aware that a Courtesy Program was established several years ago to accomodate their visiting guests arriving by boat. If anyone needs this assistance this summer, they can contact one of the Yacht Club officers or call the Harbormaster on 788-7734. , 26 Fishers Island, New York 06390 ; (516) 788-7734 . JUNIOR BOATING LICENSE REQUIREMENTS- A new State/Town law requires that any person under 18 years, operating a motor driven boat must have an adult over 18 on board or must have attended a N.Y.State training program and been awarded a boating license. Juniors wishing to attend this training course should contact the Harbormaster. HAY HARBOR-Dredging of the entrance channel has been completed. We will install the four traditional channel markers as well as the instructional buoy advising 5 MPH, "No Anchoring". Water skiing will continue to be restricted to after 5 P.M. and weekends, similar to 1992. Water quality studies will resume this summer. REGULATIONS- A five mile per houri no wake regulation is in effect inside West Harbor's #12 buoy. Speed limit signs have been placed. This regulation has been established for the protection of residents, boaters and the environment alike. We request the cooperation of everyone! . . . . 27 FISHERS ISLANC FIRE CISTRICT P.D.

The mission of the PAC is to ensure open, two-way communications. between the public and law enforcement officials. In that way, it is thought that the most of the problems and misunderstandings which arise can be dealt with and solved on the island, rather than escalating to the point of involving off-island interven- tion. That assignment is somewhat complicated by the dual enforcement system. The constables, both Regular and Bay, are appointed by the Southold Town Board, and report to the chief of police. The New York State Troopers, who are assigned to Fishers Island during the summer months, report through their own chain of command. . .The key to the successful achievement of the PAC's mission lies in creating a reputation for" timeliness, discreetness and good judgment in the handling of matters brought to .it by either law enforcement officers or the general public. ; 7/2/91 RWF Co-Chairs: Linda Hale, Scudder Sinclair ..
