Here it is folks, hot off the press, the 1992 Fishers Island Civic Association Annual Report cont-"l;n;ng information that will hopefully answer most of the questions you have been asking and wanting to ask except, "What are the dump hours?" Levity aside, a lot of effort has been expended in getting these documents together (on time no less) and even more in achieving the results and progress reported within. The Civic Association has helped in many areas when necessary but most hea-my this year in Garbage and Refuse projects where impressive goals have been attained in capping the dump, opening the transfer station, and assisting Bouton Services in their start up operation to handle construction, brush, and non-conforming household wastes. We hope you will take the time to read these reports and make yourseIffamiliar with the structure of our Island. Please try to attend "Infrastructure Day" organiztld by Leslie Gos and our Junior Committee the morning of Saturday, July 18th at the Town Green where tours will be led to f,nn;Harize you with the the day to day procedures at the Utility Company and new telephone equipment. The Annual Meeting of the Civic Association . will be held the same day at 4PM at the School where you can voice your comments and get your questions answered by the persons delivering reports. - . The Town Fathers will be ret~g for their Annual Jaunt to the Island on Wednesday, August 5th, 1PM at the Legion. We hope to have some tax figures and compariRons compiled by then which John Thatcher will present to us and the Town Board. Our deepest th~ goes to all who responded to the May appeal for membership and contributions. We received a record amount totaling over $13,000.00 and fattened up our group of members from about 220 to nearly 400!! Carol Ridgway President '94 .

FISHERS ISLANQ, NEW YORK 06390 . (516) 788-7444 . FISHERS ISLAND SCHOOL The student count for 1991-92 in September was 67. Eighteen of the students were from Connecticut. At present five new students from Connecticut have been accepted for nex~ year. On June 26. 1992 four senior~ graduated. Although student n~mbers by compariscn are low, a quality education has bp.~n provided. The low student numbers and the quality of education offered have been of great appeal to parents on the mainland and serve as the major incentives for sending children from Connecticu~ to Fishers Island. Again all students scored above state standards in a variety of state mandated examinations. Other highlights of the year included a 5th and 6th grade trip to Boston, the Spanish III jaunt to Mexico, the Senior cru~se and, of course, a visit to the school by singer Billy Joel. In addition a school paper, "Viking Review", was published for the first time. A laser disc player was donated to the school by Mr. and Mrs. 3ruce Prescott and will become an in~egral part of the district'~ technological advances. Also, generous donations from the Sanger Fund and Island Peoples Project will allow the district to purchase new playground equipment. The 1992-93 school year will see the introduction of three new course offerings --- music theory, marine biology, and an occupational education sequence. These co~rses were created to better address the the needs and interests of the district's student population. The curricula are being developed this summer by staff members Mr. Donald Janse, Mrs. Carol Giles and Mr. John Weil. For the past nine months the Fishers Island Board of Education has been involved in the revision of District policy with the assistance of the New York State School Boards Association. This long and tedious process should be completed by September. Upon completion the district will possess policies that are up to date and are in compliance with the latest laws and regulations. A second major task undertaken by the board of education has been a study of the district to identify its strengths and weaknessess. The goal of the board of education is to improve on the delivery of quality educational services to children. Although no timeline for completion has been set, it is expected that major progress will be made during the 1992-93 school year. Finally, 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. It is your willingness to sustain the operations of the district that allows for a quality educational system to exist on Fishers Island. Your cont.inu"eli support is appreciated. . Kenneth A.

CIVIC ASSOCIATION May 1992 The Henry L Ferguson Museum, entering its thirty-second year, completed its long ran~e goal by the opening in July 1 ~1 cf tha superb Archaeological wing. The Indian Room emphosizes. through educotlonal displays, the changing way of life styles of the Island's earliest visitors from 8000 B.C. to 4600 A.D. This fine addition was made possible through the museum's membership, (FRIENDS), by three major gifts from interested Fishers Islanders and from many persons who made special contributions. About half the costs of the '91 .addition derived from the Museum's modest endowment. The Board of the Museum wishes to thank all those who contributed time and money without which the exciting new facility for all Islanders and visitors could not hove been a reality. Thank you sincerely. The professionally directed archaeological 'digs' of 1991 and 1992 took place at Turtle Pond, an inland site at mid-island. Discovered in 1988 by orchaeologist John Pfeiffer, it has proved to be an interesting one. Arst, the uppermost layer which is abcut eight inches below the ground surface, was 0 IMng aree for NotIve Americans around 1550 A.D. Secondly, a much eonler occupotlon zone was discovered at a depth of about three feet and was estimated to dote from the time of Christ. The two professionals, Dr. Robert Funk and John Pfeiffer, ore already planning future work at Turtle Pond in order to plot the structure, possibly a wigwam, which has been identified through the 'digs' of the post two yeers. During the summer of 1991 0 special exhibition, THE HOTELS OF FiSHERS ISLAND was on display and proved populor. Of the five hotels only the Pequot Inn remains. Many additions were mode to the Historical collection which continues to grow. GIfts of photographs. Postcords and Islcnd memorabillo are always welcome. The Curator of the Museum, Edwin Homing, and his friend. Dr. Gordon Tucker of the New York State Museum in Albany, New York together hove listed more than 700 species of plants growing on Fishers Islcnd. Thirty of these ore considered rore in New York State. Apj:,:roximately 250 of these hove been mounted and ore ovailable for study. Mr. Homing has also begun to collect the fish of the Island, both from freSh/braCkish water and from the Sounds around Fishers. Volunteers are welcome to help with the many collections by contacting the Curator. The mounted bird specimens on permanent exhibition provide an ideal way to study the 'dltflcult-to-identtfy' warblers and shore birds. Stop in for a preview before taking a nature walk with Ed Homing. The special summer of 1992 exhibition should be of great interest to Islanders and visitors of all ages. THE SHIPWRECKS AROUND FISHERS ISLAND opens in early July and continues to Columbus Day weekend. -7- . . The Henry L. Ferguson Museum Fish.... Istand. New York 06390 . Using blow-up photographs and texts. the ship and boot disasters are graphically portrayed. The most severe one. with a loss of life of 40 people. was the wreck of the ATlANTIC on North Hill in November of 1846. During prohibition the THELMA PHOEBA. a . rum (scotch actually) runner' came ashore on Chocomount Beach. Islanders salvaged an estimated 1.000 cases of Dawson scotch and apparentty had a 'high' old time. Visit the Museum this summer and live again the ever present dangers to marillers and their cratts in the often treacherous waters around Rshers Island. As can be seen from the map helow. the Museum manages ninfJ c:eas which total approximately 60 acres. rhe Land Trust Comrr.ittee and the Board of the Museum is actively seeking additional Island land which wiH remain forever natural for future generotfons. = lIA1'rlIU:SSEII IIIt1lUn: SAIIC:'lIARY PROJZX:': OF TlI!: IYA1'tlIIE ~AIICr ACQU1llED 1978 a AClIES '- DAVID 1'.

Some were new, some were on-going. A brief summary follows: * During the past year, the problem of pollution in and around Hay Harbor was addressed on ~.o fronts. The first was an effort, urged on by the Conservancy, and led by the Hay Harbor Club ~nd nearby property o~vners, to reduce septage-related pollution occurrences by constructing entirely new septic systems. Several of thesp. have now been completed, and more are planned in the immediate future. We thankfully applaud these efforts and will be monitoring results this summer. The second front involved removing a large finger of sand that was making the mouth of Hay Harbor shallower and shallower, with an attendant reduction in the Hay Harbor fish population and also in the tidal flushing action needed to aid in dispersing pollutants. All necessary permits were obtained in early April when a suitable site for the dredged-up sand was found that would not adversely impact the nesting bird life on Stony'Beach. As of this ~vriting, two-thirds of the project has been completed, with the remainder scheduled for the early fall. It is important to realize that this is ~ an effort to dig a new channel into Hay Harbor, but rather an , effort to restore the channel to something approaching its former depth of twenty years ago, when fish were plentiful in the harbor and pollution was minimal. There will be no effort to ~pen the channel to hordes of outside boating visitors, and Harbormaster John Clavin has told the Conservancy he has the power (and will use it) to prevent over-night mooring, with its attendant pollution risks. Tha Hay Harbor Club, with Conservancy support, is sponsoring this dredging project designed to help the overall Hay Harbor environment. . * The Conservancy's usual pollution monitoring programs will continue this summer in all the Island's harbors, but particularly Hay Harbor and West Harbor. When we do this testing, we use a State-certified lab and follow closely both N.Y. State . DEC guidelines and test site procedures. * The Conservancy-Suffolk County joint survey and study of the Island. watersheds surrounding the fres-water reservoirs is progressing very well. Of particular note is the discovery and mapping of a very old (built in the 19200 s) tJater infiltration gallery that used to carry water from the Clay Pit area into Barlow Pond, and which extended the Barlow Pond watershed over 3,500 feet further to the west. Additional exploration and study will hopefully -10- . . - 2 - . determine the impact of the new discovery on the ground-water supplies feeding into the reservoir. * Over the past year the Conservancy has been verT concerned over the lack of facilities available on the-rstand to both chip and cut up brush, and to handle and remove to the mainland all types of contractors debris. As all Fishers Island dumps are either full or being closed under State and Local directives, we feel it. imperative that alternate methods of removing and disposing of debris be instituted quickly, with as little cost to the taxpayer as possible. We commend thp. new arrangements to deal with this problem made under Garbage and Refuse District aegis, and we hope that this kind of progress can continue. Regarding the "Metal . Dump", we feel that the Town of Southold (which owns the land and has operated the dump) should take responsibility for the costs of closure and clean-up. Lastly, over the past winter, the Conservanc: helped the to~~ of Southold to channel federal hurricane disaster funds to chip up the huge mess of tree trunks, limbs, and stumps left in the South Beach parking lot after Hurricane "Bob". The resulting piles of wood chips are free to any Island residents who want some, will bio-degrade within a year or so into top-soil or compos~, and can easily be used for bedding for landscape projects. * Of even great=r visibility is a joint DEC-approved Conservancy project undertaken with FIDCO to completely rebuild the old (and dangerously rutted) pathway down to Isabella Beach. Using the old pathway site as a base, the project was completed late this spring, and is (from our view, at least) a vastly easier and improvec way to visit the Island's most beautifu: beach. Please remember not to litter, and t~ use the refuse receptacles provided at the top of the cliff. . * We're sure many other matters will bubble up during the present ~ummer months. The Navy, for example, is still trying to deposit ,.redge spoil from New London harbor only 13; miles away from Fishers : sland"s north-west shore. Tile Conservancy, even though it support~ rhe Navy's need to build sumlarines, deplores the obvious and un-needed intent to dump so L~ny hundreds of millions of tons of polluted harbor bottom so cluB., to us. We will keep Fishers Island~,'s u")-dated on this and other er.J'ironmental matters both at our summe:: \rlnuCll, . meeting and at subsec .ler.t Civic Association meetings. Our ~~nd-raising drive, as usual, will be in the fall. Our thanks go to the many Fishers Island resi~ents and visitors who support us. * . The Co~servancy Board :-Irs. \..L. Lyons Brown, Jr. :.L:s.

Connecticut and New York. A transfer station for off-Island removal of garbage, recyclable materials (bottles, cans and corrugated cardboard), and residential wood scraps was constructed and began operations on 1 January. All ~ousehold garbage is presently being taken to ~ e.ler{'y resource recovery station in Preston, Conn.\,tticut. . Burning of brush at the "burn dump" has been terminated by DEC, and plans are being developed for chipping brush at this site. In addition, this site may also serve as a "transfer station" for assisting contractors in the off-Island removal of construction and demolition materials. Mrs. Mildred Dixon was elected to succeed Mr. Albert Dawson on the FIGRD Board of Commissioners. The members of the Commission wish to express their appreciation for your patience and cooperation during these modifications of the Island's entire waste disposal program. . Sincerely, -G. C. Matthiessen Secretary -12- . . . FISHERS ISLAND FERRY DISTRICT REPORT TO THE FISHERS ISLAND CIVIC ASSOCIATION 1992 1991 was an off year for the Ferry District with passenger and automobile usage down approximately 10,000 and 1,000 respectrvely. Most of this drop can be attributed to economic conditions as the decreases stemmed mainly from fewer persons coming to work on the island. Correspondingly truck and charter revenues were also down for the year. lhings began to pick up in November and have been up each month through June of this year. Talks concerning a cooperative effort between the Ferry District and the City of New London to expand and develop our New London terminal have continued over the past year. A plan of development, acceptable to both parties, has been developed. However, much of the feasibility of bringing the project to fruition hinges on New London acquiring a parcel of land from AMTRAK and the City's ability to support it financially. . 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. 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. 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 a lot of time and trouble. Please remember that overnight parking is not permitted at our New London terminal except in the area so designatec. If you should arrive at the last minute and do not have time to take your vehicle to the parking garage, you can make arrangements with the crew to have it removed to the garage. Your keys will be tagged with the location and left in the office for you to pick up upon your return. . . Shipments utilizing United Parcel Service_and Federal Express may be done through the Ferry District Office. When utilizing Federal Express, letters or packages should be delivered to the Ferry District office before 12:00 noon i~ 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 11, 1992 between the hours of 2:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. at. the Fishers Island Fire House. ~lectors of the District qualified to vote for Town Officers of the Town of Southold at the preceding Town Election AliQ owners of real property situate within the Fishers Island Ferry Distric~ upon the last preceding town assessment roll shall be eligible to vote.

You may be interested to know of t~e educational update of the members of the fire department. This past winter the volunteer firemen attended a six-week 'mandated New York State Firefighter Course. In April the firemen had their ann~l fire SChool on Fishers Island. These volunteers responded to 38 fire calls last year. As you know the new "Sea ,stretcher" began operation in December 1991. All crew members attended extensive trainir~ in operation and care of this vessel. The volunteer Emergency Medical Technicians have all under- gone training in the use of a semi-automated defibrillation machine which could be of vital importance. in cardiac support. '!he EMT Critical Care Unit also had medication and equipment update. These volunteers responded to 54 emergency calls last year. The Fire Department pays all expenses for the Sea ,stretcher including insur-4nce, fuel, equipment and supplies. It also pays for all supplies, medicines and equipment for the ambulance. These items are not covered by Fire District taxes. Your help is needed, as your contribution is financial support. All donations are tax deductible. donations payable to Fishers Island Fire Department. exemption number is B-77-E-O-1250.

Patron: Spring finally came to the Island this year along with Island People's Project Annual East3r Egg Hunt. Capably run by our Special Events Chairman, Eileen Lanier, all children had a wonderful time. New this year, the older children hunted high and low on Anthoine's hill for their eggs, which added a bit of a challenge they enjoyed. In addition to the egg hunt, IPP also sponsors the bike decorating contest at the Fourth of July festivities, the fireworks cruise, the Halloween costume parade and of course the summer recreation program. This year we are again fortunate enough to have Judy Lenzi-Magovney and Karen Lamb returning as our directors. Judy'S expertise in all .theatrical areas is equalled and balanced by Karen's athleticism. Working under their tutelage are six playground assistants, four of whom are returning to us from last year's successful program. Enclosed y~u'll find a draft .of our Summer Weekly Th_es. Notice that we'.,,-e included two on-island performances for- the children that will also be open to the public. Untortunately in order to continua ~ing the above programs, we have realized the need to increase o~r individual and family membership amounts from $50.00 and $75.00 to $75.00 tor an individual and $100.00 for a family m<<~ership. Our last increase was in 1988 and we regret having to make the change now. It you would please take a moment .)f your valuable time to return the enclosed remittance envelop.~ i: would be greatly appreciated by the Board and allot tl:_., r.l1and children.

FIDCO has been busy this year with a variety of projects related to the maintenance of its properties. These included the removal and replacement of underground fuel tanks at the Fishers Island Club,ihe new path to Isabella Beach (joint project with the F.I. Conservancy), the continuation of our long term program to rebuild the FIDCO Marina and, of course, more road work. Clean up of Hurricane Bob damage along the east end roads continues and encourages us to substantially upgrade and modernize our maintenance equipment. The benefits of this d'3cision will soon be evident. This summer FIDCO will also embark on a new roof on building #98 in the fort area, and will join with the F. I. Club to rebuild the East Harbor dock. We continue to suffer, as do others on the Island, from the end of Town garbage services. Several areas on the east end have become dumping grounds. We ask everyone to help us, by abiding with the new reguiations and procedures. Retirements and deaths, as always, have brought change to FIDCO's staff, and we have been fortunate in finding excellent replacements. However, we will not be able to replace H. Lawrence Bogert. a senior member of our Board of Directors, and among the few persons who have consistently served the Island through FIDCO for nearly 40 years. We will miss him greatly. . Robert B. Calhoun Jr. President -21- . . Town of Southold . JOHN CLAVIN Hartlormaster Fishers Island HARBORMASTER REPORT 1991/Y2 A great deal of interest has been shown in the management of our harbor this year. I will give our rdsident~ a brief report of some activities. WEST HARBOR- Water quality tests taken in 1YY1 by both the DEC and the Conservancy indicate good results in all areas except Pirates Cove. The DEC has closed the inner harbor to shellfishing from Murphy's Beach to Judge Edwards ~roperty line. This closing will continue until water qualitc' studies have improved. The DEC also placed an extended (seasOnal) closing of West Harbor to shell fishing from Hawk's Nest to Mrs. Weymouth's dock. This closing is the result of a Federal Drug Administration recommendation for areas in the vicinity of marinas and mooring sites. The closure has been made in spite of good to excellent water samples. . The Conservancy will continue to monitor the harbor to assure residents of the water quality, particularly at Dock Beacr.. In Sept. 'Y1, we finally received approval of a planned "no anchoring" area to protect Steve Malinowski's aquaculture area from a DEC closure. This area encompasses a circular area with a 620 pt. radius from the oyster grow out site. In March, Newsday reported that ?ishers Island was the only such protected area approved by the DEC. In lYY1, there were ~7 mooring permits issued. Residents received b2 permits and non-residents 25. This year we expect to approve YO permits, of which bb will be for residents and 24 for non-residents. Requests from Island residents Continue to increase. This year, I received six new requests. Since . lY~~. Island residents have added l~ boats to the harbor. Over ~~OUU. in mooring permit fees were sent to the Town's general fund last year. -22- Fishers Island, New York 06390 / (516) 788-7734 . . . Harbor regulations are available at the Marina for those interested. Copies have been distributed to visiting boaters. , Changes in anchoring rules and the discontinuance of the renting of moorings this year were made with a minimum of complaints from visiting boaters. This year, there are two rental moori~gs available for transient boats. Call Pirates Cove Marine for rates and availability. The gridding of the harbor has begun with an area cleared for only the classic IOD's. Minimum tackle requirements have been established for the mooring program. We are temporarily using the gUidelines in Chapman's Piloting, adjusted for our harbor depth. Guests of Island residents coming by private boat have been able to obtain temporary.moorings, at no charge, based on a "Courtesy" program of Fishers Island Yacht Club members. Over 25 members have offered the use of their .moorings to guests of Island residents. If you are in need of a mooring, contact Commodore Laurie Rubinow or myself. In 1991,3"/ residents were serviced by this program. HAY HARBOR- . Dredging of the channel started in May, but ceased on June 1st, when theDEC permit expired. The dredging will resume this fall. Local boaters report that they have noticed an increase in the current an the outgoing tide. Water quality testing will continue this year. The Town Board passed a Code change this Spring to allow water skiing within lUO feet of.shoreli~e or docks. Channel markers will be replaced this year using the original markers constructed by the Hay Harbor Club. An instructional buoy is planned that 'liould include "No Overnight Anchoring" and "No Jet Skis." JUNIOR BOATING TRAINING- . If there is adequate interest, a New York Scate boating training course will be offered in both JUly and August. The course will last two days and upon successful completion, will lead to a license to operate a motor driven craft for juniors under Ib years of age. The course covers water safety, rules of the road, laws and regulations and seamanship. For information about the date of classes, please call me at 7~~-7734. . -23- . . . Fishers Island Rodent Control As a preface to this report, I would like to speak for all Islanders and thank Mr. Al Dawson for running our Rodent Control program from November 1971 through last year. He made it very easy for me to take over! " During the last year, the Fishers Island Class of '93 has distributed 20 feeder stations to island. residents. They will cont~nu~ to provide this service as a fund-raiser for their senior trip. The stations are made from 3/4 inch exterior plywood, screwed together and treated with wood preservative. They cost $20.00 and can be ordered through the school (788-7444). In addition, over 200 pounds of poison bait has been dis- tributed free of charge. The Civic Association pays for the bait, and if you n~ed some, please call me at 788-7514. With the closing of the island dumps, rats have become in- creasingly evident in and around existing buildings. Control of rodents on a small island such as ours must be a contin- uing process to be effective. Please take advantage of this program by properly maintaining a feeder station near your home. .

EOWAROS TOWN JUSTICE aox 48!!l ~;SHERS [SLANC N.Y. 06390 . July 1992 . Fellow Islandersl This year I began my tenth year as your representative on the Southold Town Board and Fishers Island Justice. My travels take me to Southold almost weekly for various Town Board matters and Court proceedings. It has been enjoyable. There are a few numbers you should keep in the back of your mind while on the Island. The first is the universal telephone number 911 which can be used for any emergency wethar medical or other. This telephone number will be answered by members of the Fishers Island Fire Depar~ment, St ate Police or out local constables. Another number, 30. The speed limit on Fishers Island is 30 MPH. One ex ception to this is the road from the Main Road to Isabella Beach. Parts of this road are posted at IS MFH. The speed limit for West Harbor around the docks dnd in the mooring areas is'S MFH. Please remember these numbers. 'Any person under the age of 16 driving a motor boat on New York State waters must have an adult present or have a Junior boating certificate assigned to him. Mr. John Clavin has a program whereby JuniQrs can learn the rules and regulations and have a certificate assigned. Please contact John at 788-7734. 'Please honor the No Parking signs in front of Ruchettas Deli, the Pequot Inne and the Ferry Parking lot. Also observe the No Parking on Sidewalk signs across from the Supermar~et. While on NO-NO'S, please do not drive on the Town Beaches from the Hay Harbor 1st green, 2nd tee West to Race Point and North to the Ferry Dock~ Not only is it illegal but a threat to some endangered shorebird nests. } The State Troopers meet most of the incomming ferries and will keep the traffic moving off the boats. Please do not stop when you get off the ferry. You can park away from the congested area to piCk up or leave your passengers. Although it is not one of my official duties, I continue to go to the Motor Vehicle Department in Riverhead. I will be glad to assist anyone in registering an automobile, boat or trailer. I do not receive any extra favors at the MVD and have to stand in line along with the rest. As an example, on June 2Sth, I spent four hours in line to complete '6 transactions. There are new water skiing regulations in Hay Harbor which were passed this Spring. John Clavin, the Harbormaster, will pass this information on to anyone so desiring. The Town Fathers will be comming to the Island for their annual meeting on August Sth. This meeting will be held at One O'Clock at the American Legion. This is the time to ask your Town officials about any problems that you might have with various agencies. In closing. please have a safe and enjoyable Summer and say hello to me on the Village Green, not in Court. ~ . -31- . The Sanger Fund . REPORT FOR 1991-92 During 1991-92 the Sanger Fund continued to work to help our Fishers Island community. Below is a description of the grants awarded by the Sanger Fund during the past year. & ~ Our Ladv of Grace Church The Sanger Fund made a $10,000 contribution for critical repairs to the church structure. st. John's Church Scholarshio proaram The Sanger Fund provided financial assistance to supplement the annual St. John's Church scholarship program. During the past year ten young people were h~lped to achieve their educ~tional goals. Lawrence and Memorial Hosoita1 $5,000 was contributed for the second year toward Lawrence & Memorial Hospital's major modernization program. This is a six-year program which will p~ovide improved medical facilities and services for the people of Fishers Island ~nd southeastern Connecticut. Henrv L. Ferauson Museum was awarded $1,000 for a prehistoric archaeological 'dig' at a site on the Island called Turtle Pond. Ho:idav Turkevs This past Christmas the Sanger Fund revived the custom of giving holiday turkeys to widows and widowers on FiShers Island.
