Fog Horn Volume 8, Issue 8

OFF TO AN EXCEPTIONAL START!

As the newest member of the Fishers Island

School Community, I am thrilled to report to you

that we have had an excellent first week of

school. Superintendent Meyers commented that

he felt “a wonderful energy in the building.” I

have been visiting classrooms each day and

have been delighted to see students actively en-

gaged in and serious about their learning…from

kindergarten to high school. I see teachers hold-

ing appropriately high expectations for their stu-

dents and providing them with support when and

if it is needed to help ensure the success of each

and every student.

I’m also pleased to share with you that I see our students smiling and happy at school. They are

respectful of one another and offer to help each other, whether it’s learning to read a book in the

primary grades or conducting a science lab in high school. I am proud to be a part of this positive

and caring school community.

I am most impressed with the strong relationships that I see between students and staff. On the

first day of school, our young people and the adults who are responsible for them at school were

genuinely elated to see one another after being apart for the summer months. These strong rela-

tionships help our students feel valued and comfortable in taking learning risks in the classroom.

These positive first days have set the stage for a

successful school year. Thank you for making me

feel so welcome in my new position. I look forward

to meeting those of you who I have not yet had the

opportunity to meet. Strong family-school-

community partnerships are the foundation of the

most effective schools.

Your partner in education,

Mrs. Karen Goodwin Principal

Annual Fishing Derby!

Once again the fishing derby was a huge success. Boats of all shapes and sizes as well as

people fishing from shore departed the dock at 2:30 to catch the "BIG ONE". This fourth year

of the derby was well attended by 40 anxious anglers. The horn blew and everyone raced off.

At 5:00 only two boats came in with fish. Paul and Nishan Vartanian arrived with 3 and Mason

Horn and Pete Wall with one. The Vartanians took the prize with a 24lb striper. While observ-

ers and participants were delving into the snacks provided

by the Sportsmen's Club, Paul filleted the 3 fish and dinner

was in a baggie ready to be taken home by all. $880 was

raised for the Sanger Fund which benefits the residents of

Fishers Island in a myriad of ways. For more information on

the Sanger Fund please call Kandi Sanger. Thank you one

and all for your participation. OH...and the historic winning

plunge off the dock into the water was taken by Nishan.

(Paul doesn't know how to swim...we think).

Paul with grandson Paul who was also on the boat. Three generations. Way to go Vartanians!

New Residents on Fishers Island?

There appear to be a number of new residents that have come to Fishers Island, the Coyote, Deer and Fisher Cat. All of these ani-mals live in coastal Connecticut and Rhode Island. They are, apparently, strong swimmers. Due to the abundance of underbrush on the Island, they are difficult to detect. It is important not to attract these animals to your back yard by providing food that is easily at-tainable; garbage and pet food are particularly appealing. Small pets should not be left unattended. Dawn and dusk are often the times when these animals are about, so small pets should be inside at night. Most of these new residents are afraid of people and uncomfortable in open spaces, so underbrush cleared on your property can help keep them away.

Coyotes

Diet: mice, squirrels, woodchucks, rabbits, geese, road kill, carrion, deer, bread, fruit (They have been known to eat apples off of trees) vegetables, garbage, compost, cats and small dogs.

Habitat: Underbrush – they are very intelligent and easily camouflage themselves.

Dr. Numi Mitchell has done extensive research on the Coyote and gave an excellent talk about them on the Island this summer. She has an informative website. www.theconservationagency.org/coyote.htm for further information.

Deer

Diet: Spring & summer grasses, acorns, twigs and a variety of hardwood trees, shrubs and leaves. They have “adapted to manicured suburban environment’s” and like vegetables, garden plants and apples off of trees.

Habitat: Field, forest edges and woodlands with herbaceous vegetation.

Further information about Deer on the Connecticut coastline is available on the Internet.

Fisher Cats

Diet: Small rodents, squirrels, rabbits, birds, eggs, fruit, porcupines, carrion, poultry and domestic cats.

Habitat: Forest with a heavy canopy, hollow logs, stonewalls, tree cavities and brush piles.

Fisher Cats are part of the weasel family and are proficient climbers of trees.

Further information about Fisher Cats on the Connecticut coastline is available on the Internet.

The Story of how the G.B. Linderman Mansion became the Summer Home of a World-Renowned Opera Star

and her Master Violinist Husband

by Pierce Rafferty

In 1898, prominent banker and Lehigh Valley coal operator

Garrett B. Linderman, brother of Bethlehem Steel President

R.P. Linderman, bought a large land lot with cottages from

Fishers Island developer George H. Bartlett. After the exist-

ing Bartlett Cottages on the property were razed or moved

from the site, G.B. Linderman built his mansion atop a hill

overlooking Hay Harbor. The substantial residence was

completed by 1899/1900. Also constructed on the property

was an associated carriage house situated at the base of

the hill near Equestrian Avenue. (Please note the accompa-

nying photo. The carriage house that is featured at right cen-

ter was later moved off the property to the east and is now

the von Stade residence.)

Tragically, the G.B. Linderman association with Fishers Is-

land was fated to be short. Circa 1905, Mr. Linderman became heavily involved with mining speculators, specifically

with the Heinz group that tried unsuccessfully to corner copper. This failed attempt triggered the fiscal crisis known as

the “Panic of 1907” during which approximately one hundred banks failed. (The Federal Reserve, so much in the news

today, was established in the wake of this panic.) By the time it was all said and done, Garrett B. Linderman, once one

of Pennsylvania’s wealthiest citizens, was so reduced that he “borrowed” —others said “stole”— $53,000 that be-

longed to the estate of a dead cousin. Accused of embezzling the funds, he ultimately confessed and was sentenced

to jail in 1908. Although the length of his sentence is not clear, it is known that by 1909, following a declaration of per-

sonal bankruptcy, his former bank, Lehigh National, assumed total control of the property on Fishers Island.

In May 1914, Alma Gluck, world famous opera star and recording artist, came to Fishers Island as a guest of A.F. Ad-

ams, an impresario who owned a house here. Mr. Adams represented some of leading concert and theatrical artists of

the day, including Miss Gluck. (The A.F. Adams’ house, later the Lamborn house, is currently owned by Lucinda Her-

rick.) One month later, in June 1914, Miss Gluck married Efrem Zimbalist Sr., a renowned master violinist. During one

of their subsequent visits to Fishers, the couple took note of the G.B. Linderman house, a property that was still owned

by the Lehigh National Bank. In 1917, they rented the house for a season and evidently liked it; the following year, in

February 1918, Alma Gluck bought the house and property from the bank. Perhaps they were looking for more space

as Alma was expecting. Efrem Zimbalist Jr., the actor, was born in November 1918, several months after the pur-

chase.

The former G.B. Linderman mansion remained the Gluck/Zimbalist primary summer residence through most of the

1930s; however, after Alma’s death in 1938, it was less utilized and all but abandoned during World War II. In 1946,

Barron Kidd, Sr. purchased the property and residence from the Gluck estate. Subsequent purchasers were: Mrs.

Onolee Coffee (1968); Helene and Elinor Van Oosten (1980) and Peter and Katie Bacille, today’s owners (2004). The

Bacilles have recently completed a major restoration of the residence.

It’s worth noting that G.B. Linderman’s fiscal impropriety opened the door on Fishers Island to an impressive array of

musical talent. Soon after they purchased his home, Alma Gluck and Efrem Zimbalist Sr. hosted some of the most

influential musicians of the 20th century, including violinists Fritz Kreisler and Jascha Heifetz. Enrico Caruso was also

likely a visitor. Local legend has it that he gave a private performance while a guest at the nearby A.F. Adams resi-

dence. (Due to space constraints, the G.B. Linderman residence’s architect will be revealed in NEXT month’s Fog

Horn.)

September Gardening Tips from Melie

I want to thank Stephanie Hall for writing such an infor-mative article last month about attending the North Hill Symposium in Wilmington, Vermont. There are so many accomplished gardeners on Fishers Island and the Fog Horn welcomes them to contribute to this space. Please notify Jamie Doucette or me if you would like to write an article. There has been some talk about forming an informal Garden Club on Fishers Island and anyone interested in that idea, should con-tact Stephanie Hall or me.

It is hard to believe that it is now September; the sum-mer seemed to go by so quickly and was an unusual one for Fishers Island due to the extreme heat and lack of rain. I have an apple tree in my field that is so con-fused it is blooming again – due to the lack of rain it lost its leaves mid summer and now seems to think it is time to start over again. The weeds have thrived on the island but many lovely garden plants appear to have struggled. September is now the time to try to bring back some order. Any fall flowering plants like Autumn Joy and Asters should be featured. Cut back the plants that have finished blooming or look ratty and attack those weeds, so their seeds don’t get established in

your garden beds for next year. The fall is lovely on Fishers Island and often there isn’t a frost until Novem-ber, so it is a good idea to get gardens to look nice again. Even cutting back plants in containers and giv-ing them a bit of fish emulsion will enable them to con-tinue to grow and bloom until frost. Houseplants that have summered outside may need to be repotted, and will certainly need to be sprayed with insecticidal soap. They should brought in before the night temperatures outside go below 65 degrees.

If you are not going to be on the Island this fall, try to clean up your flowerbeds now, so that debris isn’t left for diseases and little creatures to enjoy over the win-ter. Order spring bulbs for planting in late October and early November and make the vegetable garden neat and tidy, so it will be ready for spring planting next year. September is also a good month to transplant per-ennials. If you didn’t like where something was planted, fix it now because it is often forgot-ten over the winter and when spring rolls around you can’t remember where the plant was you didn’t like.

A Battle Won, in the War Against Invasive Plants

The Habitat Committee, now a sub-committee of the Conservancy, is completing the second year of a project that has revi-talized much of the Parade Ground and Airport area, by replacing invasive plants with native grasses. The results have been dra-matic in this sixty-five acre area, which is the largest grassland on Fishers Island. The grassland had been choked with vines and scrub and was depleted of wildlife. It is now covered with beautiful native grasses teeming with butterflies and grasshoppers and birds. Visitors are welcome – paths have been mowed to allow easy access from Equestrian Avenue. A rare sedge wren was heard on the grounds this Summer; and most recently, there are reports of whippoorwill calls. Ground-nesting whippoorwills have not been heard or sighted on Fishers in years. Keep your eyes and ears open.

This work was begun in the Fall of 2010 by the ad hoc Habitat Committee, led by Joe Henderson. Joe enlisted a broad group of dedicated Fishers Island individuals and organizations, who banded together to create a project that demonstrates what can be done throughout the Island to beat back the invasives that have choked out so much of the Island’s natural wildlife. The Ferry District adopted a three-year-plan with the objectives of: (i) restoring a grassland habitat that can be managed in a cost-effective way; (ii) increasing the safety of the Airport and Parade Ground by improving aircraft visibility and controlling access to airport runways and Fort Wright concrete structures; and (iii) increasing public access to the improved habitat by enlarging the walking path system throughout the Parade Ground and creating directed access to Race Point.

The Fishers Island Fire Department has carried out the burns essential to maintaining the grasslands. The Fishers Island Conservancy joined the Ferry District in funding heavy concrete and stone removal in 2011, and native grass seeding. The Fishers Island Sportsmen's Club provided specialized mowing, disking and reseeding machinery. The Fishers Island Club helped propel the effort and reseeded the school athletic field. Donnie Beck, Larry Horn, Jimmy Ski, Greg Cypherd, J.R. Edwards, Louie Horn, Don Murray, Don Brown, Dave Mcintyre and others worked tirelessly and selflessly, clearing the invasive scrub, mowing and seeding the first ½ of the sixty-five acres in 2010-2011 and then the second ½ in 2011-2012. Here are some before and after pictures:

Airport, March 2011: Before Airport, June 2012: After

Parade Ground, March 2011: Before Parade Ground, September 2011: After

Milkweed for butterflies, wild iris, native warm season grasses and cool season grasses are seen in the “After” pictures above, providing a sustainable multi-culture grassland habitat for nature’s creatures. The work continues. The Conservancy has given the effort permanence by adopting the Habitat Committee as a standing, ongoing sub-committee.

A battle has been won at the Parade Ground and Airport, but the war continues. This is an encouraging demonstration that we can restore our island working together. The Habitat Committee is in discussions to expand its efforts to other areas of the Island. The Conservancy plans to prepare and distribute instructional materials describing how the techniques demonstrated on these grounds can be used by individual landowners to stop the spread of invasives and reclaim their property. Further information will be available at the Conservancy’s website, www.fishersislandconservancy.org.

Friends of Fishers Island Theater

October 2012

The Friends of the Fishers Island Theater (FFIT) is happy to report that summer 2012 was an extremely successful and productive season for our much-loved thea-ter. Our committee sponsored and organized several highly successful events this summer starting with The Pequot Auction party in mid-July, Love Letters in late July, Ben Cameron and the Depressions concert in mid-August, and concluding with The Spizzwinks(?) concert towards the end of August. These events were ter-

rific and extremely well attended.

We kicked off the July movie schedule with the blockbuster The Avengers and followed up with twenty-five newly re-leased movies, including Moonrise Kingdom, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel and The Dark Knight Rises. We had lots of great feedback about the excellent movie choices this summer. Once again, we couldn’t have done it without our wonderful and loyal projectionist Mike Conroy. Thank you, mike!

We also sold theater T-shirts at both Craft Fairs which carried the slogan: FFIT: Everything old will be new again!

When our committee formed in the summer of 2010, we set a “Phase One” goal of cleaning up the theater, bringing in better movies and events, and raising awareness of the theater. We are happy to report that we have successfully completed Phase One. The theater is cleaner, the windows replaced, the air quality has been tested and determined to be very safe, we had a full roster of movies and live events to satisfy all ages and we definitely raised awareness about the theater and its needs through our events.

Going forward, Phase Two has us thinking about a digital projection system, perhaps a marquee to advertise movies more effectively, as well as continued cleaning, painting (or refurbishment) and maintenance to the building.

We would like to extend our most sincere thanks to everyone on Fishers who came to the movies, attended a concert, bid on an auction item or bought a T-shirt to help get us to where we are now. We could never have done all this alone and we are very grateful. We are thrilled so many Fishers Islanders are as enthusiastic about the theater as we are. Stay tuned!
