A three-mile hike on Gerard Drive in Springs on Saturday organized by the East Hampton Trails Preservation Society and the East Hampton Historical Society will feature both the beauty and some of the history of Accabonac Harbor and Gardiner's Bay.
The New York State Supreme Court judge who imposed a temporary restraining order preventing East Hampton Town from closing its airport and reopening it with restrictions imposed on flight activity, and later held the town in civil contempt for violating that order, ruled last week that the town must pay almost $178,000 in two plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees within 30 days.
A hearing in New York State Supreme Court in Riverhead regarding the Maidstone Gun Club in Wainscott, which remains shuttered under a temporary restraining order imposed in December, was adjourned at the request of attorneys for the plaintiffs, a group of seven nearby property owners seeking the club’s permanent closure, “so that the parties may engage in settlement discussions.”
