Hazel M. King of Springs, a devoted homemaker who will be remembered as her two grandchildren's "number-one fan," died on Sunday at the Kanas Center for Hospice Care in Quiogue. She was 76.

The East Hampton Town Trustees set Nov. 13 at sunrise as the opening of waters under their jurisdiction to the harvesting of bay scallops.

In light of multiple incidents of poaching in East Hampton Town waters, the town board and town trustees are united in supporting amending the town code to sharply increase the fines for harvesting shellfish without a town permit, for harvesting undersize shellfish, or for taking quantities in excess of the legal limit. They also agree on establishing an “aggravated" level of violation for persons acting in concert or possessing at least 25 percent more than the legal limit.
