Discussion

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.

Malone streaking into championships

CANTON — The Franklin Academy Huskies might be tough to catch after winning their fourth consecutive meet in Northern Athletic Conference boys' indoor track & field Saturday at St. Lawrence University.

In the girls' meet, South Jefferson picked up 39 points in the field events to turn the tables on Franklin Academy of Malone, 112-107. The outcome sets the stage for a showdown between the two schools in the Section X championships Friday. Each has two wins and a tie in head-to-head competition this winter.

The Malone boys continued to show significant improvement in their latest triumph. Ed Watkins won the shot put for the first time this winter with a throw of 44 feet, 8 inches, the best in the section this season. David Aguon surprised with a fourth-place finish in the long jump.

The 800-meter relay team of Justin Marlow, Nick Hyde, Derek Hanna and Zach Leffler finished first in 1:37.8, narrowly missing the school record while winning by more than six seconds. The 3,200- and 1,600-meter relay teams turned in fine efforts with a number of personal-bests.

Justin Marlow stumbled at the start of the 55-meter hurdles, but recovered to finish second with teammate Mike Perry, third. Leffler took second in the 55-meter dash and third in the 600.

The Malone girls also had some personal-bests — Kaylie Lamica (1,500 and 1,600 relay), Justina Cositore (3,200 relay and 1,000) and Danielle Dumas (600 and 1,600 relay). The 1,600-meter relay team, which included Christine Hanna and Ellen Studlack,

finished second in 4:25.8, taking five seconds off its previous best.

Tupper Lake's Charlie Beaudette won the boys' 1,600-meter run in 4:46.6.
