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

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.

ELIZABETHTOWN — A former AuSable Valley Central School Board member has admitted to having sex with an underage female.

Anthony D. Deyoe, 28, of AuSable Forks, pleaded guilty in Essex County Court to felony third-degree criminal sexual act.

Deyoe was a member of the School Board when he was charged by State Police in October 2007, but soon resigned. He is also a former teacher.

Police arrested Deyoe for having oral sex with a then-14-year-old girl on Oct. 13, 2007, at his home in Jay’s AuSable Forks hamlet.

The County District Attorney’s Office reported it will ask for a state prison sentence for Deyoe.

Deyoe had served on the School Board since 2001. AuSable Valley Central School District officials said that, as far as they know, the incident did not involve any AuSable Valley students.

Deyoe remains free on bail pending sentencing Sept. 16.
