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.

Arcarese: 50 years

Press-Republican

Lawrence (Larry) and Stasia (Ostrowski) Arcarese of Fort Myers, FL, formerly of Plattsburgh, celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on Friday, December 28, 2012, with a dinner organized by their three daughters and attended by friends and former colleagues.

They were married on December 29, 1962 at St. Lawrence Roman Catholic church in the bride's hometown of Sayville, Long Island, New York. The wedding was officiated by parish priest, Father Joseph O'Brien.

Mr. Arcarese earned his Bachelors degree at SUNY Brockport, and his Masters at SUNY Plattsburgh. He joined the faculty at SUNY Plattsburgh in September of 1958 and retired in May 1995 as Associate Professor Emeritus in the Department of Communication.

Mr. Arcarese was a member and Past-President of the Plattsburgh Lions Club and, from 1988, a member of the Plattsburgh Rotary Club. He is now a member of the Fort Myers South Rotary Club. He is also a charter member and Past-President of the Clinton County Chapter of the National Professional Education Organization, Phi Delta Kappa, and a life member of the Plattsburgh Elks lodge.

Mrs. Arcarese earned her Bachelors degree from SUNY Plattsburgh, and her Masters from Russell Sage College in Troy, New York. She was a Professor in the Department of Nursing at Clinton Community College for 20 years, where she was awarded the Chancellors Award for Excellence in Teaching. She retired in 2000. She has been active in civic affairs for many years, having served as President of the League of Women Voters in both Clinton County, New York, and Lee County, Florida.

The couple has three children, Josephine of Vermont, Stasia and her husband Jim of North Carolina, and Tina of Florida. They have six grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

After spending many winters in Florida as part-time snowbirds, the Arcareses moved to Florida permanently in October of 2011. They left Plattsburgh with many cherished memories of their years in the North Country community they called home for over 50 years.
