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.

CANTON — Hannah Saiz, a Kenyon College junior and Plattsburgh High graduate, won both the 100 and 200-yard butterfly events at the North Coast Athletic Conference Swimming Championship held in Canton, Ohio.

She is the first Kenyon swimmer in 20 years to sweep the NCAC butterfly events.

On Saturday, Saiz, also an alumnus of the Lake Champlain Waves Swim Club, swam the preliminary heat of the 200 fly in 2:01.80, tying the NCAC record that she set in 2011.

She won the final that evening with a time of 2:02.45. The previous day Saiz won the 100fly in a season's best 55.80. Both swims qualify her for the NCAA Division III Championship held this March in Indianapolis. Saiz also swam the butterfly leg on the first place 400 yard medley relay team.

Kenyon College women's team, which took second place in the North Coast Athletic Conference, have been Division III national champs for 23 of the last 28 years.
