location and its fiberglass walls result in warmer water temperatures than is found in concrete pools.

An interesting feature is the old brick wall, seven feet high and a foot thick, surrounding the pool. This is a relic of the brickyard operation and originally supported curing shed. Carts loaded with newly made bricks moved over narrow gauge rails in close proximity to steam pipes that supplied the necessary heat.

Two all-weather tennis courts are situated near the pool on land where bricks were cured in the open before the indoor methoC was introduced. The courts are of the cushioned asphalt type, with 12 i oi high backstops supported by fiberglass coated pipe and rubber coated screening, all green in color. Light­ing will be added shortly and the Zehners are planning to build two more courts next spring. A pro shop and bathhouse provide shower and sanitary facilities for both tennis players and bathers.

Howard Zehner and his wife are very much aware that their property is a historic spot, in the sense that the Sage yard was a major contribu­tor to the development of the North Fork by providing one of the most durable of building materials for homes and commercial structures. The brickyard site, which was mined from about 1870 to 1935. is compos­ed of "65 feet of vertical clay down to brine” . Howard explains. The min­ing of this clay through the years resulted in a basin which was separated by a dike from Peconic Bay.

"The dike between Sage’s basin and the bay gave way during the hurricane of 1938,” he said. “ Min­ing in the basin stopped and a pond some 1,200 feet long was then dredged and mined near the Sage Boulevard entrance. This pond is now over 40 feet deep .”

Fred W. Young purchased the property in 1950 and began building

Tick-Related Disease Fonad On Shelter Island

Finding two tick-related diseases in Suffolk County resulted in invest­igations that zeroed in on three certified Shelter Island cases.

The town is giving blood tests to longtime residents after discovering three confirmed and two possible cases of babesiosis, an extremely unusual human disease. The symp­toms are similar to those of malaria, including high fever and a form of anemia. Treatment of babesiosis is similar to that of malaria and while it is considered an animal’s disease and

non-fatal, John Marr, director of Bureau of Prevention of Diseases in New York City, stated there have been two human deaths resulting from it.

Suffolk County health officials are continuing to watch the Shelter Island situation, gathering evidence of anti­bodies which would suggest resi­dents had been infected with babe­siosis in the past.

The other tick-related disease found in Suffolk is tularemia which showed up this year in East Hampton and one case, an eight-year old Queens girl, staying in Southampton. One non-fatal tularemia case was reported in Suffolk last year. Symp­toms according to Marr include a_ raised, black scab near the bite, fever, chills, headaches and an en ­largement of lymph nodes near the bite.

Mahfouz Zaki, public health direc­tor in Suffolk, states this year has been better than previous years in tick problems. However, Shelter Is­land Supervisor Leonard Bliss claims the ticks have multiplied greatly since the DEC banned spraying and burn ­ing to eliminate them.
