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.

RAY BROOK — State Police made an arrest they say is connected to a string of burglaries in the region.

In a press release, State Police reported the arrest of Zachary M. Dahl, 24, of AuSable Forks Saturday.

Dahl was charged with second-degree burglary for the alleged burglary of a residence on Springfield Road in Wilmington. He was charged with third-degree burglary for an alleged burglary at A&W Family Restaurant on State Route 86 in Wilmington.

Dahl was charged with third-degree burglary for the alleged burglary of a pole barn in Wilmington. He was charged with third-degree burglary for an alleged burglary at AuSable Forks Elementary School.

Dahl was charged with third-degree burglary for the alleged burglary of a seasonal residence in Keene. He was charged with fourth-degree grand larceny for the alleged theft of a truck in AuSable Forks.

Dahl was arraigned before North Elba Town Justice Dean Deitrich and remanded to Essex County Jail in lieu of $100,000 bail or $200,000 bond at the recommendation of the Essex County District Attorney's Office.

The arrest stems from an intensive investigation by State Police based in Ray Brook, Plattsburgh and Keeseville. Police reported they have recovered a large amount of stolen property associated with the crimes.

The investigation continues and more charges are anticipated. Anyone with more information is asked to call State Police in Ray Brook at 897-2000.
