Discussion

IMPORTANT: Comments that include a personal attack on other commenters will be deleted in their entirety. Your comments are not welcome here if you can't maintain a civil tone.

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

ALSO NOTE: Derisive name-calling of an individual or group will result in the entire comment being deleted. This includes the terms "stupid" and "idiot" and similar references.

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.

Your Village: Dannemora

By ROBIN CAUDELL Press-Republican

DANNEMORA — Dannemora firefighters will soon have a better communication system.

The Dannemora Village Board of Trustees has unanimously approved a radio upgrade for the Dannemora Volunteer Fire Department.

Since the Village Board had not budgeted for the expenditure, $3,932 was allocated from the Fire Department’s equipment reserve, according to minutes from a recent meeting.

OTHER ACTION

At the same Village Board meeting:

Lease agreements: A resolution was passed to charge the Northern New York American-Canadian Genealogical Society $100 per month for a 12-month lease.

Another resolution set the Saranac Cooperative Nursery School’s rent as $250 for a 10-month lease.

Appointments: Hailea Cross and Byron W. Wing were appointed as probationary firefighters.

Election Day: Polls will be open noon to 9 p.m. on Tuesday, March 19, for village elections. Two trustee positions and the town-justice seat will be up for election. 

Next meeting: The next meeting of the Dannemora Village Board will be held at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 6, at village offices.

All board meetings are open to the public.

  • taylortornadofamily Mom delivered baby as tornado struck

    Shayla Taylor was so far along in labor that her nurses at Moore Medical Center decided not to move her when Monday's tornado hit. They waited out the storm in an operating room, where the wall disappeared as the tornado hit the building.
