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.

Boys’ Section VII vs. X Challenge moved back to Friday

PLATTSBURGH — The Larry Cowan Section VII vs. X Challenge for boys’ basketball, originally scheduled for today at the Plattsburgh State Field House, has been pushed back to Friday due to inclement weather.

There will be six games at the Field House Friday, starting at 11:30 a.m. and ending following the 7 p.m. contest. Instead of four quarters, games will consist of 16-minute halves. The admission price is $5 for the day.

All junior varsity games will be held at Seton Catholic Central School, one and a half hours prior to the varsity game. For example, the Tupper Lake vs. Ticonderoga jvs will play at 10 a.m., at Seton Catholic, while the Tupper Lake-Ticonderoga varsity game is scheduled for 11:30 a.m., at the Field House.

The Section VII vs. X Challenge then moves to SUNY Potsdam’s Jerry Welsh Gymnasium Saturday, with six more games. The first contest begins at 11:30 a.m. the final one at 7 p.m.
