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.

PLATTSBURGH — Two men are suspected of selling crack and cocaine from a city apartment, where authorities this week allegedly discovered a large amount of the drugs.

Plattsburgh City Police say they recently learned that the drugs were being sold from an apartment at 88A Miller St., and members of the Adirondack Drug Task Force took up surveillance.

After obtaining a search warrant, authorities raided the residence and reportedly found a stash of illegal drugs.

According to City Police, officers discovered 48 baggies of crack cocaine and four containing powdered cocaine.

Officials say the drugs are worth about $6,000 on the street.

They also allegedly found more than $1,000 in U.S. currency.

After the search Tuesday evening, police arrested two suspected drug dealers: Dante Harris, 32, of Virginia and Wiley Goodwin, 36, of Plattsburgh.

Harris is now facing a charge of third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance.

Goodwin was charged with third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance.

Both men were arraigned in City Court Wednesday morning and sent to Clinton County Jail.

Police said additional charges and arrests are expected.
