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.

LAKE PLACID -- Bob Farmer, Andy Donatello, Mike Ritchie and Tim Thayer posted a low gross score of 58 to take top honors in the Adirondack Medical Center Benefit Golf Tournament held Friday over the Crowne Plaza Lake Placid Club's Mountain Course. The sun broke through for the first time in a week providing a picture perfect day of golf for the 188 players.

A low gross of 59 earned first-place honors in Flight Two for the Burgess Enterprise team of Katelyn Mannix, Marty Mannix, Dr. Soham Patel and Gil Zahn, while Flight Three top honors went to Dr. John Broderick, Chuck Dobson, Jared Marshall and Bill Marinis with a low gross of 67.

The team with the "most honest" low gross score of 86 was also recognized with Shirley Aikens, Jennifer Furnia, Beth Hanley and Chelley Martineau of Mountain Medical Ladies each taking home a prize for their efforts.

Both a longest drive and closest to the pin contests were held with AMC's Colleen Farmer and Jen Patnode claiming the respective ladies' titles while Richard Herbert of the Benefit Group of New England drove 295 yards to earn the men's longest drive honors and Bill Smith claimed the men's closest to the pin honors on the 4th hole.

Lightning struck twice for Gail Mercurio of Plattsburgh who won both a one-week stay in Myrtle Beach and the 50/50 raffle worth $610.

Two lucky random draw winners took home a Callaway X460 and a Nike Sumo driver. The Flight One winning team claimed the lone skin of the event worth $600. Bob Breen of Saranac Lake and Chris Wilkes of HANYS Solutions were the two semifinalist in the $10,000 putting contest, and made a valiant effort on trying to sink the 50-foot final putt.

The 47 teams helped raise more than $45,000 for Adirondack Medical Center programs and services.
