PLEASE NOTE: There is a 150 word maximum for comments. All comments greater than 150 words in length will be deleted in their entirety.

ALSO NOTE: Derisive name-calling of an individual or group will result in the entire comment being deleted. This includes the terms "stupid" and "idiot" and similar references.

Welcome to our new online comments feature. Before you can join the discussion, you must first register with Disqus and verify your email address.

Once you do, your comments will post after they have been reviewed by a moderator.

We welcome your thoughts and your opinions, including unpopular ones. We ask only that you keep the conversation civil and clean.

Not all comments are deemed printable. Some are disqualified, at the newspaper’s discretion, for a number of reasons. Here are some typical practices to avoid in trying to get your comment printed:

There is a 150 word maximum for comments. All comments greater than 150 words in length will be deleted in their entirety.

Don’t state as a fact something that is unsubstantiated or that our editors wouldn't know to be true.

Don’t presume someone’s guilt in a case when it hasn't been established by a court.

Don’t assail or impugn an identifiable individual or group. If you have that kind of criticism, sign your name and submit it as a Letter to the Editor. (There is some leeway on this in connection with public officials, but it is not unconditional.)

Don’t use profanity. This includes the term “tea bagger.”

Don’t be incendiary or tasteless. Those qualities are subjective, of course, and our editors will be the arbiters.

Do not identify yourself in the main content area of the article content form. Only by enforcing this rule can the moderators prevent unscrupulous commenters from falsely identifying themselves as someone they are not.

Don't type in all caps. It is considered the Internet equivalent of shouting.

In sports articles, do not criticize officiating.

Remember, moderators are not allowed to edit any article comments. If an article comment fails any of the above criteria, the entire comment will be deleted.

We monitor comments Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. Approval of comments outside these times may be delayed.

MINERVA — A Lewis County woman was injured when her motorcycle went off the roadway here Tuesday afternoon and plunged down an embankment.

Schroon Lake-based State Police reported that Juanita Anderson, 42, of Lowville was riding a motorcycle on State Route 28N in the Town of Minerva when she lost control of the bike, which ran onto the shoulder of the road on a curve and struck guardrails.

The motorcycle continued on over the guardrails and down an embankment, throwing Anderson off.

Police said she was in the area attending the Americade motorcycle rally at Lake George. She was apparently riding with several other motorcycles as part of a rally tour when the crash took place.

Minerva Ambulance Squad treated Anderson until the North Country LifeFlight helicopter arrived and transported her to Fletcher Allen Health Care in Burlington.

She was listed in critical but stable condition Wednesday with multiple injuries.

No tickets have been issued in the crash.
