Norman George Price, a lifelong resident of Southampton, died at his home on January 16. He was 91.

He was born on May 7, 1930.

A founding member, he loved his time at Bullhead Yacht Club, whether he was boating or working around the club. In his later years, you could set your watch by his daily afternoon visits to Bullhead. He was a member of the Southampton Fire Department, specifically Agawam Hose Company, for 50-plus years. He was also a member of Saint John’s Episcopal Church in Southampton, where he was a member of the vestry for a time.

He was employed for many years in the propane fuel business. Upon retirement, he and his wife Una Jean loved to travel, including several cruises and yearly trips to coastal Maine. Their all-time favorite trip was their cruise in Alaska. He was an avid reader of both non-fiction and westerns.

He is survived by his son Edward and daughter-in-law Cheryl; granddaughter Lindsey Price Friel and husband Corey; grandson Travis; nieces and nephews Jane Halsey, Mary Gwen Tyda, Susan Swanson, Robert Price, David Price and Karen Price; his sister-in-law Beverly Price. He was predeceased by his parents Winifred and George; siblings Gwen (Price) Halsey, Robert, Harry; his niece Gail (Halsey) Levine; and his beloved wife of 46 years, Una Jean.

A memorial visitation and prayer service will be held, Friday, January 21, from 4-7 p.m. at the Brockett Funeral Home in Southampton.

The combination of the new Ken Burns documentary on the American Revolution and the rosy image of the first Thanksgiving led me to recall a 1778 event that exemplifies the true relationship between the white settlers and the Indigenous population. And that relationship spread west as the settlers did. During the war, the Stockbridge Mohicans, along with the Oneida, Tuscarora and a handful of other Indigenous nations, allied with the American colonists in their struggle for independence from Britain. Many of these communities hoped that their military support would ensure recognition of their sovereignty and protection of their lands. Instead, ... by Tom Clavin

Will Governor Kathy Hochul sign, or again veto, a bill to protect horseshoe crabs that again passed by large majorities in the State Legislature earlier this year?

She said the DEC has “significant rules and regulations regarding commercial and recreational fishing in the state.” It currently has an annual quota of 150,000 horseshoe crabs that can be taken. Environmentalists have been actively calling on Hochul to sign ... by Karl Grossman
