Mrs. Catherine Jenssen President and Mr. Richard Sch111ro V1ce-
President to serve for the year 1969-1970.
At the Annual Meeting (July 1969) pollution of Island.waters
seemed to be the most distressing problem. We have commun1cated
with various people about this concern. We requested to the Ferry
District and the Yacht Club and F.I.D.C.O. that trash cans be
placed on the docks. The Ferry no longer dumps the garbage over-
board, to our knowledge, and trash cans have been placed, as re-
quested. A sign was posted on Goose Island and on pilings by thG
Yacht Club stating Speed Limit 6 miles an hour, no dumping, etc.
Hiring of a Harbor Master was approved by the Town Board. $600.00
for tl\e season (boat and man) Wt:s allocated by the Town Board for
this jOb and the Civic Association hired Mr. Stephen Saint as
Harbor Master. Details of tho jOb are still being worked out.
The Recreation Program for children was a complete success.
Mr. John Poeton of New London was the Recreation Director and
had a varied progi'r'.m of arts and crafts, sports and swimming.

A request from a Civic member has resulted in tho

Mrs. Bruco Wj.J~i:J.r;12 1"'0sig~'ec:. as SCc:....3tprv-trDaSUrGr of the
Board and was re-placed by Ml.:s, William l<'~lullmer, A i1ew type-
writer was purchased for the use of the sdcreta~y-treasurer,
It was decided it was time to have the ;.ssociation' s books aud-
ited and this was done by Johnson and Williams of Waterford, ct.
In December, the Board began researching a skating rink.
Plastic covering was purchased along with 2x4's to make the frame.
Permission was received from Hay Harbor to use a tennis court.
Some Fire Department members volunteered to flood the area. Be-
cause of unfavorable weather, the rink was never used but the
material has been stored and perhaps this winter it will work.
A special meeting of the Board was held with interested
members of the Community to gather information on a winter rec-
reation program. Questionaires were givGn to Grades 7-12 to
determine areas of interest. It is hoped a program will be
worked out for next year.
A letter was mailed to the Ferry Commissioners asking them
to re-instate one round trip per week for the Priest, Minister
and Doctor. This was rejected by the Commissioners.
We wrote to Perry Duryea stating we were in favor of the
"Marine Toilet Law" and urged him to vote for this law.
It was brought to o~ attention that there was a new town
ordinance prohibiting peddlers and solicitors on priv~tG property.
A copy is posted on the Mystic Isle.
Mr. Gada anno~~ced at the April Quarterly Meeting that $],000
has been allocatei =or Mosquito Control. This is $1,000 more
than last year. ~~. Gada stated that no DDT will bc ~sed.
w~. Perry Edwards reported at the meeting that dredging of
West Harbor would not take place. Suffolk County had taken the
money out of the budget for this project, which was to have begun
this spring. The Civic Board feels very strongly that this pro-
ject is worthwhile and wrote letters of ~rotest concerning this
matter to the Town Supervisor and our ToWn Representative. We )
were therefore pleased when Mr. r,;artocchia ,Town supervisor,
called to say that the money had been re-budgeted and bids would
be sought for this work. Hopefully, work will begin in late
summer or early fall.
~
Refreshments were provided by the Civic Assoeiation for the
children who participated in the Earth Day program sponsored by
the SChool.
Following a suggestion from Mr. R. Jenssen, the Board wrote
a letter to the Ferry District requesting the National Guard
area at the Fort be used for a mini bike-go eart area.

A recommendation was sent to the Ferry District asking for:
1. Schedle - April 1 thru Christmas, run an 8100 p.m.
trip from New London on Fridays.
Extend the summer schedule to November 1st.
Rates - Establish a Senior Citizen Ticket (65 yrs
of age or over) at $1.75 round trip all year, every
day.
4. Establish a round trip rate of $4.00 for the car on
Tuesday and Thursday, the same day as passengers
round trip during the summer schedule.
5. Establish a round trip passenger fare on Saturday.
This would benefit students having dentists app-

We are happy to have with us Trooper Harold Griffith of the
State Police in Riverhead. Trooper Griffith resided in Hampton
Bays before coming to Fishers Island.
Trooper Griffith urges all bicyclists to observe the rules
and regulations of a motor vehicle. He also stressed that ped-
estrians must use the sidewalks to prevent a serious accident
from happening.
It is with regret that we announce the resignations of the
entire Medical Board. Three new members will be appointed by
the Civic Board as soon as possible.
A separate financial report of the Association follows.

FISHERS ISLAND UNION FREE SCHOpL
This has been a year of careful e'valuation and long range
planning for Fishers Island SchooL We have tnken a long hard
look at our curriculum, our facilities and O'lr communi tys needs
and observed both the good and the not-so..good.
On the brighter side. we find that almost 70% of our grad-
uates continue their formal education beyond high school. From
their records at schools. colleges and universities, we are
apparently preparing them well for their futures.
The statistics for that 30% who do not choose to continue
their formal education beyond high school. however, is not near-
ly as bright. In many instances. these are the YO'.mg people who
may well continue to live and work on Fishers IslanC. presently,
we simply do not have the facilities or the programs necessary to
equip these people with the saleable skills which are vital t?
Fishers Island. Local contractors are forced, through necesslty,
to seek skilled labor from Conhecticut. The flow of capital is
therefore from our island rather than within our island.
Our school. being aware of this situation. has 2ttempted in
the last few years to close this gap by offering more and more
courses in the practical arts. We have expanded our business
pro~am, added home economics, built our own small shop for wood-
worklng programs, offered mechanical drawing (including some blue
print reading), an electronics course and a host of other courses.
Meanwhile. we have run out of space, What we still need is a
good industrial arts program to train boys as meChanics, plumbers.
carpenters. masons and alectricians. One wall rounded industrial
arts instructor in the right facilioy could do much to meet this
need and provide a great service to our community.
We have also examined our facility in terms of its possible
adaptation to new techniques in teaching. Here the key work is
flexibility. SChools built sixty years ago lack the ability to
provide spaces for team teaChing. adequate use of telovision.
large and small group instruction.
Wo examined the possibility oi' renovations to t::-.e existing
plant and adding a badly neeGed 5Jrnnasium and shop. but found
this impractical in dollars and cents.
Finally, new construction was considered. Examinations
proved this the most practical solution both educationally and
economica.lly.
-11-
As you know. an extremely attractive offer was made b~' the
Fishers Island Development Corporation to pl'ovide some land in
the former Fort H. G. Wright arca for a school site. Private
donors have raised approximately $100,000 to date to purc~ase
additional property necessary for state approval of the Sltc "
and to demolish the existing unserviceable buildings on the Sloe.
Bids for the demolition work arc being received during the first
week in July. The actual demolition will begin within 90 days
if sufficient funds have been received through donations to
defray these costs.
Preliminary drawings for a new building are ne2r completion
after numerous revisions. Planners have worked di15_gently to
provide a practical solution to our educational nee~~ but keeping
ever mindful of their fiscal responsibilities to the community.
Tentative schedules indicate that the plans with maximum
cost figures will be aVaila~e in early JUly. A publio infor-
mation meeting will be scheduled at least one week prior to the
formal referendum for the new facility.
Please support your school in this important issue. A goed
school system is essential to the health and well-being of any
community. We on Fishers Island are no exception.

VILLAGE GREEN COMMITTEE
The Village Green Committee was fcrmed this year. under the
auspices of the Civic Association because of increasing concern
about the need to preserve the beauty and natural resources of
Fishers Island. This committee consists of both year round and
summer residents and hopes to perform a needed service in our
community.
Two clean-up days have been arranged with the co-operation
of Town officials and employees--a most successful one this past
Spring and another scheduled for July 13th, Tho condition of
town roads and sidewalks is currently baing surveyed by committee
members.
Shrubs. which were donated by a Committee member, were
planted at the Fire House with the help of several Fire Depart-
ment members. The Village Green Committee also cleaned up the
small park area across from the Post Office. Planting of wild
flowers in t~e Wildlife Sanctuary is planned for later in the year.
This committee welcomes any new members who share our con-
cern with the appearance and ecolo~J of our island. We are
presently unfunded and would welcome conoributions to aid in
future projects. Please join in this effort to keep Fishers
Island beautiful!

FISHERS ISLAND FERRY P'IST~JCT
During the year 1968 and 1969 the Ferry District received
many letters relative to the operating deficit of this District
and in which all of these received were of the unanimous opinion
that rates on the service provided by this District should be
raised to make the District more self sustaining. The Board of
Commissioners took formal action and increased the operating
tariffs which were effective June 19, 1969. On the basis of in-
creased revenues due to tariff increases our budget for 1970 was
approximately cut in half from the preceding years. As 1970
~ill be the first full year of operations under the new rates
lt should prove realistically the soundness of these rate in-
creases. To off set some of our proposed capital exper.ditures
we applied to the Department of Transportation of the state of
New York for state Aid as a unit of mass transportation, We
qualified as such, however, our original request was refused. The
request was for $210,000 of which $52,500 would have to be contri-
buted by this District inasmuch as there are no matching funds
from the Federal Government available for this program. The re-
quest was based on renewing the pile &nd timber structure at the
ent~ance to Silver Eel Cove, relocating of our New London ramp
structure to our own property and re-decking and replacing fender
pile on our Fishers Island Pier. The investment in the New London
ramp relocation and the re-decking of the Fishers Island pier
would have constituted the Ferry Districts share of matching funds.
This office has been corresponding with the Honorable Perry B.
Duryea, Speaker of the Assembly of the State of New York who has
been acting in our behalf. lf~. Duryea has asked the Department
of Transportation to reconsider their original decision in this
matter. As of this date we have not received an answer on Mr.
Duryeas actions on our behalf. Mr. Duryea and our Town Supervisor,
~x. Albe~t roartocchia, with whom we also have been working very
closely with in this matter certainly deserve the appreciation of
this District and of all of the Fishers Island residents for
their efforts on our behalf. Their efforts, if successful, could
ease a tax burden for the Fishers Island Ferry District. Con-
cerning the M/V Mystic Isle, a new Raytheon Radar was purchased
May 12, 1969 for $5,688.00 and was installed. In view of the
small amount offered as a trade in on the old set, ~~he Board of
Commissioners unanimously agreed to retain this set and enjoy the
added safety to the vessel by having a standby radar in the event
of equipment failure. On April 2, 1970 the Board of Commissioners
accepted the bid of the Revere Supply Company of New york for
another 25 man inflata~e life raft. This, of course, is an
additional safety factor as well as covering the vessel for more
passenger capacity. The Ferry District is presently negotiating
with tho Fishers Island Fire 0epartment and the Fishers Island
Garbage and Refuse District for possible leasing of 2 of our
bun]:ers. The Pire District is interested in using a bunker as a
training site for our local Fire Department. The Fishers Island
GarJage and Refuse District would use another bunker for the dis-
posal of junked and abandcned cars. If these negotiations are
successful then these 2 bunkers would be fenced in, which would
eliminate any access thereto by the general public and, of course,
-14-
restrict a very dangerous area where children could be seriously
hurt. It is anticipated that our general liability insurance
policies might show some reductions in premiums when these areas
are fenced in. For general information I I am attaching a
