Roger F. Coleman, publisher of Hudson-Catskill Newspapers, died suddenly of an apparent heart attack on Monday, New Year's Eve in Kentucky. He was 61.

The Hudson-Catskill Newspapers company publishes the Daily Mail in Catskill and the Register-Star in Hudson, as well as a handful of local weekly papers on both sides of the Hudson River: The Mountain Eagle, Windham Journal, Chatham Courier, Ravena News-Herald and Greene County News.

Local blogger Sam Pratt, who writes from Hudson and has often been a sharp critic of the Register-Star's local coverage there, was the first to break the news on December 31. Pratt wrote:

While this site has tangled with Coleman over various issues over the years, this news comes as a very sad shock. Sincere condolences go out to the Coleman family and Reg-Star staff. Read more

Tonight in Cooperstown: Anti-fracking attorney to host workshop on DEC's new gas regulations

New York State is currently accepting public comments on its latest draft of gas drilling regulations. Helen Slottje, a lawyer who has been prominent in the movement to pass town bans on gas drilling, is hosting a series of public forums this week on the revised regulations in an effort to gather more public comments from fracking opponents. The third and last of these forums will be held in Cooperstown tonight.

On November 30, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation released a revised draft of regulations that, if passed into law, will govern hydraulic fracturing for natural gas. The public comment period on the regulations runs from December 12, 2012 through January 11, 2013. Read more
