On August 4, 1970, Civic BOard me,nbers met at th(; school and elected Mrs. Stephen T, Kelsey, president and Mr. Richard SChiliro, vice-president for the year 1970-71. They welcomed the following new board members: JliirS. Thomas Russell, Jr., fiIrS. Robert E. Wall, Mr. Ronald Zanghetti and IV"lI'. Lars Field, who replaced l\irs. Roger Burns, who was unable to finish the last year of her term due to her departure from the Islcmd. Last summer, the Island's first Harbor j',Iaster, Stephen Saint, employed by the 'Township of Southold, served well, preventing speeders and trippers from violating the Harbor rules. John Poeton conducted the Recreation Program for the Island children with his uswll success, The courses for teen-agers and adults, also sponsored by the Civic Ass'n., were well attended at the school. The progrwn was Climaxed by C\ delightful Festival of Music, Dance and j.rt. ",fter it was decided to dredgo 'Nest ;-iarbor, thero was a great deal of controversy about the placing of the fill. 'The problem has been solved by the Corps of Engineers by their agreeing to take the refuse to be removed from the Harbor in the fall and dumping it in the spoil area in Fishers Island Sound, designated by the government. The new idedical Committee and members of the Civic Boc.rd spent a great deal of time this winter in search of Cl doctor to replace Dr. Ralph Hoch, who plclnned to retire June 1, 1970, j, description of the Island listing the requirements of a doctor to serve hero, ViC1S sent to many medical colleges, doctors and medical agencies. Several doctors were interested and were inter- viewed by committee members. "lmong those seon was Dr. \iilliam H. Gallaher of New Haven, Connecticut, who camo several times to the Island. He became very interested in prc,cticing here. If he did so, he would also maintain his connectlo;, with the Yale Medical Hospital and his practice in New Havon, -o~, returning there several times a week. During his absence, Dr. Hoch would substitute for him. This plan was agreeable to by both doctors. On July I, 1971, Dr. Gallaher began his practice here, Ho is residing in the Doctors house. We welcome him to the Island. \'Ie are most fort- unate in obtaining a new doctor with such a~ excellent medical reputation and we are grateful to Dr. Hoch for all the years he has served. The Medical Committee has given Dr. Gallaher some funds to acquire more equipment for the clinic, It is hoped, in 'the futuro, other improvements can bo llk1.de. One of the goals is to purchase a much needed x-ray maChine. The Civic Ass'n. is sp?nsoring a HOuse Tour in Aygust as a start to raise funds tOward thlS Objective. 'The BOard is much Concerned with the possibility of making the present Community Health Fund into a tax-free medical organization. This has been attempted unsuccessfully tw.' co , but we arc, at -thr> pr'!fwnt timC'. optimintic thiR ",hnll fj''1'''l~( be accompliShed. 2 . The problem of pollution of the w'l,ters surroundihg.,t~ie Fort area is another important issue to the Ci vi.c Board. lIir. J..ndrioli from the County Environmental Department ,hS most critical of the comdtions there. Excent for two new houses built recently, we understand that none of the other houses have septic tanks. The Coast GUard is correcting this problem on their property. Vie urge the other home owners to assume their responsibility by doing the same and putting in septic tanks in tho very near future. Open sewage is flowing into Silvor Eel Pond and the ocean. 'rhis comdition Can not be tolerated any longer. The Skating Rink Project was attempted again this winter. The material purchased the year before by the Civic ,'"ss'n. had been used on a Hay Harbor Club tennis court offered by the club. Unfortunately, it was found to be too windy a locn,tion. In its place the Motor Pool Area in the fort W[,S chosen ns a more pro- tected spot. There was much sickness at the time selected to install the equipl<lent and volunteers were difficult to find. There was also a problem in easily reaching the water supply. It is expected this winter with the close proximity of the new school to the aren" the w'lter will bo more available and that the project will be a succoss at last. It was brought to the attent- ion of the Civic Board that the chilnce of natural ice on the ponds proved to be quite hazardous as several children had been found unattended on or near precarious ice. It was suggestod by 1\11'. Lars Field that warning signs be posted or a flag system be used. Mr. RiChard Schiliro will produce ,', mimeo on rules on ice next year. We are again indebted to the Hornings for the excellent job they did organizing and participating in the annual H[,lloween Party sponsored by the Civic Ass'n. It is a most popular event for the young members of the community. ']'he late ferry on Fridays rct 71LJ.5 p.m. rOllk'1ined on the sohedule until January 11 so the city people could reach the Islanci after sohool and the Islanders could return from colleges, etc. or mainland activities. The Civic ,.ss'n. Board regrets no progress has been made towards arranging n meeting with the Commissioners this year for an exch:;,ngu of views on Gome of the mutual problems. jilr. l<'rancis Doyen, a member of the Lobstermen's i~ss'n., was given the endorsement by the Civic j.ss'n. to assist the ilssociation in their pleas to the state for stricter residency laws. The Board voted to give $35.00 and join 12 other organiza- tions in sponsoring broadcasta of basketball games held on Long Island by station WLNG. 3 . This winter there were complaints of h1lIYters rOol,ming too freely on the Island. This problem arose pr!rticularly when there were many visitors during Thanl(sgiving. It has been suggested that signs be posted on both furries and the post office bulletin board, staing the rules of shooting on thu Island. Many off Island hunters Came this year who are not members of any of the shooting clubs and some were seen near populated areas o.nd caused concern to the constables who had to restrict them. Summertime brings the return of the Civic Ass'n. sponsored Recreation Program and we are fortunate again to have John Pocton and his wife, the former J'anet Skidmore, who taught Red Cross lifesaving and sY/inuning last year. She shall teach First ilid, also. You have received notices of this program and the classes for teen-agers and adults with some new courses added. Please sign up for these promptly if you are interested. Lectures will be given several Monday nights. Tho first is July 19th by iir. llames Ewart on "'llcohol and Drugs", August 9th, [:Irs. Wm. Chapman, a talk with slide s on "Russia" and ;.ugust 16th, Gen. [l,nd LIrs. PiLul Peabody, a film and lecture on "Africia". illl IsliJ,ndorc are welcome to attend these free lectures at the SChool and also take part in the other activities. ~ "t the j.pril Quarterly meeting, .;Ir. Jack Gada reported the concern of dog owners about the heartworm disease, which has in- fected quite a number of dogs on the Island. Tho Civic i,ss'n. obtainod information on this disease 'Jrinted by the Games Res- eaIch Bureau. Copies of this report have been circulated around the Island and posted on the bulletin bOo',rd at the post office. They are available at Jenssen's and Surge Doyens store. This disease is serious and we urge you to l'ave your dogs tested as soon as possible. I1r. Vincent Spinella is the Island Harbor ilaster this year. He is working closely with the Yacht Club, the constables and Trooper Ketcham. He has a busy job and we [lore grateful to him for doing such an excellent job. The Board would like to give thanks to tho contracting firm of Z and S for the manpower and equipmont supplied by them and also to l'lr. j'ames Thurrott for his valuablu aid in launching t!le rQft and setting out the buoys for Dock Beach to open officially for swilmning. Volunteers are needed to repaint the signs ther~. Investigations are being made by the Board into the possibility of having a fiberglass float and diving bOard made to replace the present float which is in need of replacement next YC[1,r. It is felt that fiberglass would be more durable and much lighter to handle. VIe also want to express our appreciation to tir. Douglas Sperry who has done monumental work for us in printing our numerous lTI.".ilings and also this extensive report. 4 r'inally, the Civic Board urges everyor:e to keep the beaches clean and free of picnic debris. Please us the containers pro- vided at each beach or take your trash home in plastic baS' for disposal. 11. separate financial report of the Association follows. The Nominating Committee: I.Irs. Robert Wall, Mrs. E. Perry Edwards and Mrs. Alfred Grebe have nominated the following to replace the two retiring members: l'iIrs. Raymond F. Doyen liIr. Edmund Whi te Addi tional nominations from the floor will be mn.de. '.Ie wish to thank l.ir. Edwin H. Horning and Mr. John Pickett for their service on the board. This year has been a busy one for the Civic Board but a most rewarding one. We are sincerely interested in helping all the Islanders with whatever problems may arise. We want progress to continue, particularly in education. in medical assistance and in preservation of our many natural endowments on this Island. 'Towards this goal, we shall work to the best of our ability. BOARD Of' DIRECTORS: W~s. Stephen T. Kelsey, Jr. President Mr. Richard Schiliro Vice President Mrs. Robert E. Wall Mrs. T. W. Russell.

These letturs umphatically protested the annual oper~ting derici t., of the Fishers Island Ferry District. All voiced the unanimous opinion that rates on the service pro- vidcd by this District should be raised to make the District more self sustaining. On the basis of this. the Board of Commissioners. in late 1968 [:nd t:1e early part of 1969. investigated tariffs of other carriers engaged in rendering the same type of service which this District offors. The study clearly indicated that our rates were. in many c~.S>ls. far below the going ratus of these other carriers. The Commissioners then. after holding many meetings, re-adjusted the -:;ariff rates to bring them in line with present day costs. In Il'.[:n:,- situations. rates were raised in certain cat- egories that sti::'l were less than rates of ther companies. Application was Llp'cle to the Interstate Commerce Commission for approval of thuso revised rates and on June 19. 1969, the revised tariffs were app:~cved and printed. ij.t this point, we will ill- ustrate the difi3ronces in revenues produced by subject tariff increases. It mUst be undurstood that the new rates applied only for 5 months in 1969. whereas 1970 was for a full yuar of operation. Figures for 1967 [end 68 will also be given for compc'.rison figures. 1967 196~ 1969 1970 Freight ~20,238 $17,5'6 ~2D;J8l 021,887 Passengers 94,269 94,656 112.173 130,875 Automobiles 46,336 52,067 59,639 670393 Trucks 11.582 11,008 12,546 15,014 Special Services 1,175 1,279 2.450 2.655 Charter Revenue 1,810 5,848 7,825 7.150 ".nnuc:1 ioIet Operating Lossel!. ~2~:~~O 1968 ,,64.451 l22.2 iP9,J18 1270 $ I";TI" 7 It will be noted that the Board of COl.llnissioners, by raising the tariff rates, have for all practical purposes, placed this operation on a sustaining basis. j"t this point.

'rhere Can bo no doubt that in ord0r to retain the support for our programs, we must endeavor to share with the community the r0sul ts of '3uch evaluation in terms of the strengths of the Fishers Island School System and its weaknesses and goals for improvement.

It sees as its function not indoctrination but guidance. It provides the proper atmOsphero and opportunity for the development of the best wi thin o11.oh child.
