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 man accused of burglarizing the Essex County Government Center is now in the County Jail.

Logan Stephenson, 28, of Farmington, W.Va., was charged over the weekend with entering the county complex and taking food from various offices.

Essex County Sheriff's Department Maj. David Reynolds said Stephenson was taken into custody by deputies after he had fled the building. He was picked up in Lake Placid.

Witnesses saw Stephenson in the Government Center after the Feb. 15 break-in, Reynolds said.

Stephenson was charged with felony third-degree burglary and misdemeanor petit larceny.

He was arraigned in Moriah Town Court and sent to the County Jail when he couldn't pay $5,000 cash bail or $10,000 bond.

Stephenson is due in Elizabethtown Town Court on Thursday.

State Police are investigating Stephenson for other break-ins in the area, but Reynolds said additional charges hadn't been filed as of Tuesday afternoon.
