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.

CHAMPLAIN — Alcohol and high speed are believed to have been factors when a man rolled his Jeep Cherokee three times Sunday afternoon.

Chazy-based State Police reported Jeffrey A. Landry Jr., 22, of West Chazy was driving north on Rapids Road at what is believed to have been a high rate of speed. He reportedly lost control of the vehicle at about 2:20 p.m. as he neared the intersection of Route 11 in the Town of Champlain.

The car exited the road and rolled over three times. Police said Landry was not wearing a seat belt and was ejected.

He was transported to CVPH Medical Center and later airlifted to Fletcher Allen Health Care for treatment of head trauma, possible spinal trauma and multiple other injuries.

Police said alcohol is believed to have been a factor in the accident. It remains under investigation, with tickets and charges pending.

Route 11 was closed between its intersections with Route 9 and Elm Street after the accident. The road was reopened later Sunday afternoon.
