Fasten your belts and put your seat in its upright position, they’re cleared for take off. As any East Hampton Airport observer could have predicted, the suits have begun to fly -- even before the town board debuted its plan for noise mitigation.

The board was slated to present draft legislation during its work session this week, right after its consultants released the third phase of a noise study. So far, additional experts, as well as the town-appointed noise committee, have called for restricting certain types of aircraft, prohibiting others and enacting curfews.

Last Thursday, a coalition

comprised of small local business owners and national aviation trade organizations, filed two legal challenges designed, according to a release, “to protect safety and equal access” to the airport.

The first action seeks a determination in federal court that the FAA doesn’t have the authority to waive grant assurances made by local municipalities. Generally 20 year commitments made when a town accepts FAA funding, the grant assurances made by East Hampton to the FAA expired at the beginning of this year, which allowed officials to consider taking control of the facility.

The coalition argues that when the town took a $1.4 million FAA grant in 2001, it bound the town

to the Administration’s control through 2021. In 2005, however, the FAA reached a settlement with the Committee to Stop Airport Expansion and, according to the release, “agreed not to enforce the assurances related to preserving equal, non-discriminatory access to the airport after December 31, 2014.”

The coalition reported that in another case involving the Santa Monica Airport the FAA argued it lacked the authority to waive assurances – contradicting what occurred in East Hampton. That inconsistency must be resolved quickly, the coalition emphasized, because the town’s restrictions are on the horizon.

The second filing is a Part 16 complaint that relates to “safety and security” gaps, such as maintaining runways, removing obstructions like trees, preventing deterioration of ramps, securing the facility with a fence, and replacing an outdated lighting system.

“For years, the Town has refused to accept needed FAA grant funding to close these safety and security holes because the Town believed that doing so would extend the airport’s obligations under the FAA grant assurances and limit its ability to impose access restrictions on certain types of aircraft and the time of day when they can land or takeoff from the airport,” the release alleges.

This week Kathleen Cunningham, chair of the Quiet Skies Committee, looked askance at the assertion.

Repair work that’s happening at the airport was recommended by the town-appointed noise committee, she pointed out. The committee wo r ked with f o r mer f a c ility manager Jim Brundige to identify the most important safety and maintenance projects – taxiways and tree topping – “months ago,” Cunningham reminded. It’s also bonded money for the taxiway repair.

“We expected some kind of

Independent/James J. Mackin

IN THE NEWS

legal challenge from the aviation community,” Cunningham said.

“I don’t know if they have strong grounds for their claims.”

The noise-affected community has been working on noise mitigation “for a very long time,” the committee chair pointed out, recalling a time when Southampton Town Supervisor Anna ThroneHolst was “practically begging” helicopter pilots to fly higher or expect restrictions. “They weren’t particularly interested,” she recounted, adding, “It’s unfortunate it’s come to this, but town control is the only assurance we have that there will be a reduction in noise.”

The predicted cost of town control was another salvo shot by the coalition. According to the release, the “arbitrary and discriminatory aircraft restrictions” contemplated by the town board “would drastically reduce airport traffic during peak months, slashing the airport’s revenue and further depriving the airport of desperately needed safety and security improvements. Waiving the FAA grants and imposing restrictions not only would place the flying community at risk, but it would hurt homeowners, who would inevitably see their taxes increase as the town struggles to support an underfunded and unsafe airport.”

Fo r t h e o t h e r s i d e o f t h e argument, Cunningham argued, “The noise affects so many more people than those who benefit from that mode of travel.” She speculated the aviation community “didn’t imagine the will of the noiseaffected would be as powerful and as sustained as it has.”

Councilwoman Kathee BurkeGonzalez, who is the liaison to the airport, declined to comment on the legal actions. Plaintiffs include the Friends of the East Hampton Airport, Analar Corporation, Helicopter Association, Inc., Heliflite Shares LLC, Liberty Helicopters, Inc., and Shoreline Aviation, Inc.

Bathrooms Stalled?

Independent / Kitty Merrill

A conceptual plan for the Amagansett Comfort Station shows the building in the middle of the municipal parking lot behind the library.

By Kitty Merrill

Progress has been quite constipated, when it comes to providing public restrooms in Amagansett. Back in the 90s, thought was given to carving out part of Amagansett Square, but with a change of ownership and change of town board composition, momentum dissipated.

Looks like the latest plans won’t mean a smooth move, either. Last weekend a petition began to circulate, asking the town board to rethink its conceptual plan for the Amagansett comfort station.

As devised, the plan would site the station in the municipal lot directly behind the Amagansett Library, leaving one row for parking before the privy, and taking up six spaces in the middle of the lot. The petition notes the placement will “permanently alter the configuration, flow of traffic, safety, and aesthetic aspects of the

municipal lot.”

The petition is addressed to the Board of Directors of the Amagansett Library. Tina Piette, a local attorney whose office is adjacent to the lot, addressed the library board about the petition and comfort station during its meeting last Friday morning.

Councilman Fred Overton was on hand for the presentation. He said Monday that he had not been privy to any town board work session discussion regarding the placement of the restrooms, and is waiting to hear from colleagues. Additionally, he offered, “I’d like to hear what the people in Amagansett want to do. The people most affected should weigh in.”

The councilman opined setting the station at the back of the lot, “seems the most logical place,” but

www.indyeastend.com

emphasized he’d defer to the wishes of the community.

On Monday Supervisor Larry Cantwell said he was not surprised

HOW A DEAD NAZI MAY SAVE OUR LIVES Remember the name Herbert Haupt.

Herbert, at the age of 22, was a United States citizen who went to his death in the electric chair on August 8, 1942, screaming for his mother.

Liberal President Franklin Delano Roosevelt refused Herbert Haupt

and five other spies clemency, as did the United States Supreme Court.

Today, 73 years later, Herbert Haupt may be the key toward protecting every person in the United States from ISIS and Al Qaeda.

Here’s how a piece of forgotten history may save lives.

In 1942, two submarines left Germany headed for the United States. On the night of June 12, 1942, the first submarine, U-202, arrived in the U.S. and landed in Amagansett. Four German spies came onto the beach. A brave young unarmed Coast Guardsman named John C. Cullen spotted them. They threatened his life. Cullen got away and reported the encounter to his superiors after returning to his station. By that time the Nazis had disappeared but the FBI knew they were here in the United States. The hunt was on.

The other four-member German team (Haupt was one of them) came on another submarine, U-584, and on June 16, 1942, they landed at

Let

Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida.

Both spy teams were part of a German operation code named Operation Pastorius. They brought explosives, primers and incendiaries.

They were here to kill Americans and to spread a wave of terror by planting explosives on bridges, railroad stations, water facilities, Jewish-owned businesses and public places.

Is this any different from what ISIS and Al Qaeda are planning for us?

Within a month all the Germans were caught by the FBI and six of them were convicted by a military tribunal and found guilty of being enemy agents, and even though they had not carried out any sabotage (Haupt went to Chicago to be with his girlfriend), six of them – including Haupt – were sentenced to death.

They were all executed on August 8, 1942, in the District of Columbia’s electric chair. It was the largest mass execution by electrocution ever conducted.

Here’s how we can turn this piece of history into a plan to save American lives.

Why can’t we declare war on ISIS and Al Qaeda?

I’m not talking about a politician’s declaration of war, which is part of a speech and means nothing.

I’m talking about a Representative like Peter King and perhaps Senator Charles Schumer going to President Obama with a plan to have him address Congress and have them formally vote to declare war on ISIS and Al Qaeda.

Now, I know no country has ever formally declared war on a group of terrorists, but the world has changed. Countries do not declare war on other countries these days.

We have police actions. We invade

IN THE NEWS

in search of weapons of mass destruction. We go to war but it’s never called war and there is no formal declaration of war.

This would be different. This would be a formal declaration of war upon ISIS and Al Qaeda.

What would it accomplish?

The minute we do this, those few thousands of Americans who have joined ISIS or been trained by ISIS or Al Qaeda will immediately become spies if they come into the United States.

When we catch them they will be tried by a military tribunal and, if found guilty, they will be executed.

Anyone who has communicated with ISIS in Syria or Iraq – anyone who helps these terrorists – will be classified as spies and traitors. They, too, will face the death penalty.

This will not be seen as an attack on Muslims or any religion. In fact, this will help take the pressure off Muslims by zeroing in on those people who have declared war on us – ISIS and Al Qaeda. This is an attack on mad dogs who are here to harm us.

This has nothing to do with how we conduct or don’t conduct the war against ISIS and Al Qaeda in Syria or Iraq. This is only about protecting lives here in the United States.

In 1646, Hugo Grotius wrote, “By the law of nature, no declaration is required when one is repelling an invasion” (“The Law of War and Peace”).

In this case it is an invasion, and a declaration of war is needed.

If you agree, send this to Congressman Peter King or Senator Charles Schumer.

S&P Gives Southampton Super Rating

By Emily Toy

Last year, Southampton Town was issued a Standard & Poor’s AAA rating. And last week, the rating agency re-affirmed the town’s solid financial status.

In early January, “We made our fifth consecutive visit to the rating agency in New York City,” Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst said in a press release dated January 30. “We presented a compelling financial story to the rating agency and this affirmation is recognition of how hard everyone has worked to achieve this outcome.”

The rating reflected the town’s “ver y strong economy, which benefits from participation in the broad and diverse New YorkNew Jersey-Northeast Pennsylvania

metropolitan statistical area, strong management, very strong budgetary flexibility, very strong liquidity, strong budgetary performance, strong debt and contingent liabilities profile and strong institutional framework,” according to a release from the town.

Throne-Holst stated it’s been a goal of hers to achieve the AAA rating since she took office five years ago.

“Having achieved that goal last year, we have no intention of resting on our laurels. We will continue the sound financial management practices and fiscal discipline that have helped us achieve this high standard and recover from the significant downgrades of the past.”

Town comptroller Leonard Marchese noted he was pleased that the town is being recognized

by S&P for its fiscal discipline and

financial management.

“We have invested significantly into modernizing and streamlining processes throughout all areas of operations resulting in significant efficiencies and improved delivery of services town wide,” he said.

“These actions coupled with proactive fiscal monitoring and treasury management have proved successful as evidenced by S&P’s affirmed AAA rating for the town.”

Here We Snow Again

By Kitty Merrill

Just when we thought we were out . . . Old Man Winter pulled us back in. After a temperate beginning to the season, it was time to get up off those laurels and get to shoveling.

Last week’s storm, dubbed Juno by the Weather Channel, dumped snow across the East End at nearhistoric levels, closing schools for three days and causing the usual headaches -- and back aches -- such snowfall does.

Snow fell for over 24 hours, East Hampton Town Police Chief Michael Sarlo pointed out. “The white out conditions during the overnight, when the snow was accumulating quickest, caused the highway crews to come off the road because of visibility and made the clean up very difficult,” he said Monday. “There were roads that were plowed in the morning but had another eight to 10 inches on them by the afternoon.

Our guys were in 4x4’s and had to stand down at the fire houses or police precincts for a while during the height of the storm.”

Plows were out in force, but in some areas the snow was so heavy and deep, payloaders were used to first scoop out buckets of the white stuff so the plows could get through.

Power outages were minimal and officials credited road closures with keeping the number of stormrelated MVAs low.

By the weekend the landscape transformed from a pristine wonderland to drifts of snirt (that’s the new word for snow plus dirt), then one sleety mess Monday morning.

More’s on the way, with three to five inches forecast for tomorrow night and snow showers expected on Sunday.

RICK’S SPACE My Perfect Record No, for those of you wondering, I didn’t shovel. Thus, my record of never having shoveled snow in my entire life remains perfect.

Not once. I did walk out into the snow, creating a makeshift path so the dog could get out to pee.

She didn’t, even though I must have cleared a good three feet.

It’s getting easier to avoid every year. Nowadays, the old heart attack excuse works perfectly. They warn you on TV over and over before a snowstorm comes, just as they advise you to wear layers of loosely fitting clothes just to go outside.

I ignored that one – I felt no need to get out of my pajamas for the three days we were holed up inside.

View our Pic Paper edition at

Before the heart attack excuse I relied on my bad back routine. I invented that decades ago to get out of doing yard work at our Sag Harbor house. To this day every time I bend over I let out a painful groan lest anyone forget the agony I am constantly in. It’s become a Pavlovian reflex.

I am not the most thorough person on Earth, but I pride myself on being able to weather bad storms (no pun intended). It’s easy when you have a wine cellar and a freezer full of tomato sauce loaded with my homemade meatballs and sausage.

Hell, I could have easily gone a good three or four weeks before the wine ran out — I only have about 100 bottles.

In fact, not only could I eat pasta every meal, I did in fact, eat pasta every meal, for three days and never once got sick of it.

illustrated books for kids and talks with her friends on Facebook and works designing websites.

I play fantasy basketball and watch movies and play guitar.

Mostly, though, I sleep.

Coco Belle, our seven-round rescue dog, has become quite fond of me. I give her a few meatballs (yes, she likes grated cheese on them) and then we both go upstairs for a nap. When I wake up I have some pasta, watch a movie, and then take what I call a nipper-nap, which is basically a mini-nap — it doesn’t last as long as a regular nap and it lacks the coma-like intensity.

Sometimes, though, my nipper naps turn into full-fledged naps, which can sometimes become coma-like overnight naps, which aren’t really naps at all when you think about it.

Karen doesn’t sleep as well as I do. She worries about things, like why I sleep so much, and why I eat so much pasta, and how come the dog likes me more.

During the storm she was so worried that she (I am not making this up) turned the air conditioner on to help her sleep. Her story was the droning sound relaxes her.

The real story, of course, is that my relentless snoring – she calls one of my major sleeping events a Snorefest - keeps her awake.

I should point out it is a matter of conjecture whether I indeed

snore because I have actually never heard it, and I sleep with myself almost every night. The dog never complains, either.

Now, I am not a scientist by any stretch but it seems to me if there is an electric air conditioner in a window and you turn it on while there is a raging snowstorm outside, then the half of the unit hanging out the window is going to get very, very cold. So cold, in fact, that harmful fumes will be emitted that will put us in a real coma, like in dead.

So I had to get up in these frigid conditions and shut the damn thing off. That woke up the dog, of course, who gave me that, “I haven’t peed in two days” look, so we both headed down the stairs.

That made me realize how hungry I was, so I had a few meatballs (with grated cheese on them) and gave the dog a couple. Then we headed up to bed just as Karen was getting up.

“Where are you going?”

“To bed,” I said.

“You’re kidding. It’s nine in the morning.”

“Well, I’m tired. The dog needed to go out so I got up with her in the middle of the night and now I’m exhausted.”

“Did you shovel out a place for her to go?”

“I couldn’t - my back is killing me.”

EDITORIAL

A Job Well Done It’s an easy thing to badmouth public utility companies, and it has been in the vogue since the LILCO debacle. PSEG has taken its share of criticism, particularly in East Hampton, where the bigger, stronger utility poles drew the ire of many residents.

Our public officials have taken plenty of shots at PSEG, the company is being sued, and work at its Amagansett workstation has been put on hold by the town.

Well, guess what? One of the most savage winter storms in history just blasted the East End of Long Island and East Hampton Town was among the hardest hit. All the hours PSEG spent pruning trees, which seemed like such a nuisance, paid off. And let’s face it – some of the older poles that were replaced wouldn’t have been able to stand up against the howling wind and waves of snow – some we saw were rotting away.

So, since it is so difficult for some of our neighbors and public officials to acknowledge a job well done, allow us to be the first: thank you, PSEG, because our lights (and heat!) burned brightly in the face of what could have been a real disaster.

An Inhumane Embarrassment Don’t be fooled by those pretty pictures of cute little does with tags in their ears, worn as a young lady might wear dangling earrings on her first date.

Independent VOICES

Stifles Courage Dear Mr. Murphy, Let’s hope you are correct that a “wave of reform” is about to sweep through Albany. As Preet Bharara, the US Attorney leading the investigation of the corrupt NY State Legislature said, New Yorkers should be outraged over corrupt politicians. As such, every resident should be involved in that wave and demand reform now.

Two reforms are needed immediately: term limits and the banning of outside income. These two issues are behind many of the scandals plaguing our state. Sheldon Silver’s elective longevity (elected to the Assembly in 1976 and as Speaker in 1994) allowed him to amass nearly dictatorial power.

Moreover, state law does not prevent him from earning outside income. (It is said

that outside income is needed because these elected positions are part-time.)

One source of Silver’s outside income that paid him millions was Weitz & Luxenberg, the largest mass tort and personal injury litigation law firm in New York.

Wielding his enormous power, Silver blocked all attempts at tort reform costing businesses and taxpayers millions of dollars as Weitz & Luxenberg reaped an astonishing $6.5 billion in verdicts and settlements.

In this morning’s news we learned that Mr. Bharara also is investigating the outside income of the Republican Senate Majority leader, Dean Skelos. Mr. Skelos has been in the legislature for 35 years.

Election to the NY State Legislature should not be a guaranteed life-time job. Indeed, as your editorial suggests, elective longevity stifles courage and integrity. State legislators currently receive annual salaries of $79,500 plus per diem payments (also the subject of criminal investigations) and fringe benefits. I suspect most taxpayers would

The program in East Hampton Village to sterilize deer is inhumane, gruesome, and every public official who had a hand in it should be embarrassed to be a part of it. The “first phase” (a benign term to be sure) is thankfully over. We urge the village to end it right there.

Grabbing a doe, drugging it, throwing it on a filthy table in the middle of a field, cutting her open and removing her reproductive organs is the kind of thing more suitable to Dr. Moreau’s Island than this swank, upscale community.

Yes, we know the village fathers kowtow to the rich south-of-highway residents who are inconvenienced when the deer eat their precious imported plantings and whose Mercedes suffer unseemly dents because Bambi insists on running in the roads, but this solution is beyond the pale of human decency.

Here’s the saddest part: a deer control program limited to one geographic area is doomed to failure. The deer don’t know when they are inside village limits; they come and go. The village will never put a dent in the deer population that directly affects them because it is a regional problem, not hyper-local.

It’s all a big lie, an excuse to perform this ghastly experiment on some of god’s most beautiful creatures. be happy to receive an $80,000 salary with fringe benefits for part-time work.

If legislators cannot live on over $80,000 then they should not run for these offices.

Public service should be just that, a service to the public. It should not be a life-long job providing the occupant with special access and power to be pimped on the private market.

CAROLE CAMPOLO

Generator Needed Dear Rick, Other East Hampton Town affordable housing complexes have a generator, but not St. Michael’s. I am told the cost is $40,000 and for us Senior Citizens who live here it would really be a stress reliever if we knew we had a generator to back up power losses in the future.

What a fierce winter it has been between blizzard, snow, and winds, winds, winds.

There is extra pressure felt by senior citizen residents, especially me who by nature worries about all things possible

and who tries her best to avoid calamities.

It is really not a healthy situation.

So I ask, on behalf of the seniors who live here, that The Independent please endorse the purchase of a generator by the town for those of us who live at St. Michaels.

By the way, I would be happy to fundraise for the generator on behalf of the senior citizens like myself who live here.

Also, I must add gratitude and praise to Highway Superintendent Steve Lynch and his crews for continuing to do an awesome job in clearing the roads for the Town and its residents.

Best to all of you in getting through this.

Diddle And Dawdle Dear Editor, Deflate-gate -- where is the air??

Deflated, elated? Or just in the middle?

What are your thoughts on this mysterious riddle?

Independent VOICES

Continued from page 11.

Perplexed or vexed or just on the fence?

Who did it? who dunnit? how, why, and whence?

The football -- the pigskin -- did it squeal or stay silent?

In this game so beautiful but sometimes quite violent.

The gauge gave the clue -- something’s surely awry A l e a ky v a l v e? O r a s n e a ky, unsportsmanlike guy?

The answer may come from the nowescaped gasses Which we need to recapture to make honest the passes.

Oh, where is the air that they took out of there?

Get looking! Let’s find it, don’t give up in despair.

Those little molecules that were loosed from the ball Let’s try to regather them -- no matter how small.

Can the genie of air be put back in the bottle?

Let the fans know the truth -- don’t diddle and dawdle.

Can all that air go back in the ball deep beneath the white laces?

Or will it stay near the field or travel to far outer spaces?

Neil deGrasse calculated and then retracted a little.

Will the jury say “guilty” or end in acquittal?

The air knows the secret! It came out in a whoosh.

Which made it much easier to give the ball a deft squoosh.

By Karen Fredericks

Are you going anywhere for winter vacation?

Ryann Brennan We’re going down to Charleston, South Carolina at the end of February. We’ll be spending five days there. We don’t have any special plans. We just love to walk around the city. It’s so beautiful there. And we go to a lot of great restaurants there too.

Diane Drexler We go to Maui every year. I love it there. Each of the islands is very different. We chose Maui because it’s beautiful but it’s also lively with lots of things to do. And the people there do things in such a nice and thoughtful way.

Phylis Griesmar I have such a bad cold. I just got over being sick. I’m going to Florida at the end of February. I’ll be headed to Fort Lauderdale. But with this cold weather February can’t be over soon enough for me.

Robin Lejovites I’m not going anywhere this year but my daughter is. She’s going to visit my other daughter, her sister, in Tampa, who was smart enough to go to school there.

Letters & Obit Policy

The Independent publishes all letters to the editor we receive provided they are not libelous and emailed to news@indyeastend. com. We strive to print all obituaries as well but in the event we can’t, they will be published online at www.indyeastend.com. Please try to keep copy under 400 words.

A Supernatural Scenario Dear Rick, We were critical and certainly justifiably so, of the Islamic outrage due to having their prophet Mohammed satirically cartooned by France’s weekly newspaper Charlie Hebdo and their despicable effort in having that voice stifled.

We are the civilized enlightened intelligentsia aren’t we, proudly proclaiming,”Je Suis Charlie?” Free speech should not be smothered. We Americans are supposedly the flag bearers of that dogma. So much greater the irony, or rather hypocrisy, at our reaction when our own chosen religious icons are disparaged.

Newsmax reported the “Christian” outrage when someone on a Facebook page dared to state that “The Virgin Mary should have aborted.” Then it seems it’s an entirely different story because that

is “Blasphemy” and should indeed be suppressed.

Newsmax is to “News” is as FOX NEWS is to “News, which is to say selectively and creatively. Both are merely biased political “Views” masquerading as “News” therefore the article itself might have likewise been typically distorted to fit their message, but thought provoking nonetheless.

It is pitiful that in this day age, we are still fighting the war of the Gods. It sounds like a video game. We invent a supernatural scenario and place ourselves within it.

If we are bad at it we go downstairs and if we are good we go upstairs and if we are still undetermined we float in limbo until points pop up sending us up or down . . . with or without 72 virgins. Why can’t we just judge each other on our individual merit and not living life as mystics?

Role-modeling. Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone gives blood at the New York Blood Center in Bohemia. Last week’s blizzard resulted in the single largest loss of scheduled blood donations since Superstorm Sandy – over 3000 pints lost due to closures. Bellone urged every capable donor to make plans to “give the gift of life.”

Male Call!

The Mr. Amagansett Pageant is scheduled for next week and organizers are looking for a few good, or not so good, men to participate. You don’t have to be an Amagansett resident and you don’t necessarily have to be talented to participate. (Think: Former councilman and perennial runner-up Dominick Stanzione.)

Friday the 13th will be a lucky night for spectators at the Stephen Talkhouse in Amagansett and a few fellas. Doors open at 6 PM for cocktails and a Chinese auction with over 40 fabulous prizes to choose from. There’s a 50/50 raffle and the pageant begins at 7:30 PM. $20 admission.

The event benefits the Donald T. Sharkey Memorial Community Fund. Don was the original Mr. Amagansett, friends say.

Got nerve? Got game? Got a talent or chutzpah? Contact Kristine Gaudy at 516-449-6330 to learn how you can join the pageant.

★ Just because the snow stopped, didn’t mean the streets were safe. A car rolled over on Montauk Highway near Daniels Hole Road in East Hampton early Friday morning. No one’s immune to ice, let’s be careful out there.

Wilkinson Wins Round In Court

By Rick Murphy

A Montauk property owner who sued East Hampton Town and former town supervisor Bill Wilkinson -- an old nemesis – was

rebuffed by a federal judge.

Harry J. Ellis charged in court papers that a number of town officials and employees past and present conspired to punish him for

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

being a whistle blower. Specifically, Ellis, a board member of the Concerned Citizens of Montauk between 2010-12, clashed with the Grimes excavation company and reported them to the DEC for alleged dredging illegally. Keith and Susan Grimes were issued a stop order and later agreed to pay a hefty fine. They are friends of Wilkinson, the former supervisor acknowledged at the time.

Ellis maintained in court papers t h a t Wi l k i n s o n i m m e d i a t e l y instigated “a campaign of unlawful, malicious retaliation” against him.

Specifically, Wilkinson, the then Natural Resources Director Larry Penny and others constructed a

storm runoff retention pond and a parking lot near Ellis’s property.

On January 28 United States District Judge Joseph F. Bianco agreed to grant much of Wilkinson’s motion to dismiss on the grounds that Ellis waited too long to file suit.

“Plaintiff’s claims are time barred to the extent that they relate to events that occurred prior to June 5, 2011,” Judge Bianco wrote.

However, he refused to grant a request from Wilkinson that the plaintiff pays his legal fees.

Bianco said Ellis could proceed with a limited complaint that his constitutional rights were violated.

According to court filings by James S. Henry of Sag Harbor, Ellis’s attorney, “Town officials entered [Ellis’s’] property and took down political signs on his lawn” in 2011.

“A l t h o u g h t h e s t a t u t e o f limitations may present a bar to such a claim, the statute of limitations is an affirmative defense, and not a pleading requirement, and therefore the Court grants plaintiff leave to file an . . . amended complaint that asserts claims arising from that incident.” “ We ’ r e c o n s i d e r i n g t h e judge’s suggestion we re-file as recommended,” Henry said. “All of this relates to Harry’s constitutional rights.”

Mariners Streak Is Over: Bonac Wins Again

By Rick Murphy

The Southampton’s bid for a perfect season is over.

The Mariners survived an upset bid at Center Moriches to earn their 15th straight victory Friday but could not get by Babylon the next day, falling 63-60 on the winner’s home court.

The win gave The Panthers an 11-1 League VII mark, identical to Southampton’s, and muddied the waters in the coming Suffolk County Class B tournament, where both teams are angling for the top seed.

Babylon did an excellent job of keeping Southampton off the boards and held high scorers Zack Cummings (seven points) and Nasies Fulford (six) in check.

The Mariners used a strong surge to wrestle control of a tight game

in the third stanza but could not sustain the lead in the face of a determined fourth quarter effort by the winners.

Israel and Isaiah Johnson each scored 20 for the locals; Babylon’s balanced scoring attack was led by Nick Antoneli with 14.

The previous night coach Nick Thomas, the former Killer Bees’ great, had his team primed for an upset.

The Red Devils opened up a 15 point second quarter lead and were in cruise control before Southampton turned the jets on.

Southampton, which played Port Jefferson last night, finishes its regular season at home against Wyandanch Friday. If the Mariners win out they will finish 17-1 on the season. Babylon played Wyandanch last night and will

travel to Mattituck Friday. If the Panthers win out they will also finish 17-1, the only loss to Southampton on January 6.

Mattituck, 6-5 in League VII, will qualify for the playoffs with a victory last night against Mercy or on Friday.

Hampton Bays, 7-4, had already qualified for a playoff berth.

The County Class A title is up for grabs and East Hampton has emerged as a key player.

Bayport/Blue Point is on top in League V with a 9-1 mark but plays East Hampton. Shoreham-Wading River, 9-2, lost to East Hampton last week. Bonac is 7-2 and has reeled

off seven consecutive wins.

Friday Mount Sinai, playing at home, became the latest victim.

The locals, who have been bombing from outside and are perhaps the top three-point shooting team in the county, did it from all over this time around. Brenden Kennedy-Gay led all scorers with 25 including three treys; Kyle McKee had 14 (2) and Kevin Fee 12.

The weather has wreaked havoc with East Hampton’s schedule, but as it stands now the Bonackers play at Bayport at 4:30 PM tomorrow.

As of this writing Bayport/ Blue Point was to have played at Shoreham-Wading River yesterday.

Bees Split Two Games Upstate

The Bridgehampton Killer Bees are hoping to add a State Championship banner to the wall at the gym.

Independent / Rick Murphy

By Rick Murphy

Bridgehampton Coach Carl Johnson planned a trip upstate to toughen up his team for the upcoming playoffs, but he never dreamed the Killer Bees would be undefeated when last weekend arrived.

They were, but they aren’t anymore. The Bees, playing in Syracuse, split a pair of games against Class B schools.

The good news for the Bees is that when Shelter Island knocked off Smithtown Christian Friday it undoubtedly gave Bridgehampton the Long Island Class D Championship and a berth in the New York State Class D Regionals. The Bees are the Number One ranked Class D team in the state.

Smithtown Christian’s loss was its eighth in League VII and the Knights were the only other Class D school with a chance to qualify for the tournament.

Syracuse Academy of Science, a tough Class B team, knocked the Bees from the ranks of the undefeated 6355 Saturday afternoon. The home team took away the Bees’ perimeter game and used a balanced attack

to end the Bees’ streak. What they couldn’t do was stop John Lamison and Charles Manning Jr., the Bees’ Twin Towers. Lamison exploded for 31 points and 18 rebounds, and Manning had 21 and added 12 rebounds.

“They are a very athletic team, and one of the top Class B schools in the state,” said Bees Assistant Coach Joe Zucker. “They had size and were very athletic. They took away our perimeter game.” The trouble for the locals was the team’s lack of depth; Tylik Furman, with three points, was the only other player to score.

Sunday the Bees, a good sleep under their belts, took out Bishop Grimes, 73-63. Manning exploded for 32 points and the Bee’s perimeter shooters were back on target – Matt Hostetler had 14 and Elijah Jackson nine. Lamison added 12. “It was a fantastic experience. It will take one hell of a ‘D’ team to beat us,” Zucker said.

The Bees, now 15-1, end their season Friday at Southold.

The Suffolk County Class C tournament could come down to Stony Brook and Pierson. Stony

Brook blasted Southold Friday, 5532. The Bears are second behind Bridgehampton in League VIII with a 10-1 mark.

Pierson beat Ross School Friday 59-44 as Robbie Evjen (15) and Ben Kushner combined for 28 points.

Pierson is 7-4 in League VIII.

East Hampton Hosts Wrestling Tourney The East Hampton High School Wrestling Team will conclude its regular season by hosting the Section XI 2015 League VI Championship Wrestling Tournament Saturday. The eight high school teams that will take to the mats include Amityville, Bayport, John Glenn, Miller Place, Mt. Sinai, Shoreham-Wading River, Westhampton, and East Hampton.

The young men will be competing in 15 weight classes: 99, 106, 113, 120, 126, 132, 138, 145, 152, 160, 170, 182, 195, 220, and 285 pounds.

“This is the first time in 14 years that East Hampton has hosted the Leagues,” stated Coach Steve Tseperkas. “Even though we may have a small squad, we will be competitive in a number of weight classes. It’s important to note that the top four wrestlers from each weight class will move on to the County Tournament held at Hofstra University on February 14 and 15. We are confident that the boys will have a good day on Saturday and that we will have a couple of wrestlers representing us next weekend at the County Tournament.”

The preliminaries begin at 9:30 AM. Admission, which is set by Section XI, is $6. Short sleeve T-shirts commemorating the League Tournament will be on sale for $15.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be served by parents and student volunteers in the school’s cafeteria. All proceeds from the sale of T -shirts and food will benefit the EHHS wrestling program.
