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.

Plattsburgh man wins Enduro

SOUTH PLATTSBURGH -- Rob Senecal, an airport maintenance worker from Plattsburgh, drove a '95 Ford Taurus to a $10,000 payday by winning the Adirondack Water Systems Enduro 200 Saturday at Airborne Speedway.

Senecal started 46th in the 92-car field.

"On one red flag, a friend told me I was in third," the winner said. "At the last red flag, with about 20-30 laps to go, I was in the lead and the second-place car (Pat Leary of Peru) was just a little ways up ahead of me, so I knew I had a good lead.

"I want to thank my crew Bob Kennedy, Bob Criss, Evan Boyd, my scorer Bill Stansbury and my sponsors, Lyman's Auto and Criss Construction."

Senecal and his wife Kim were at Airborne often this year for the karting season. The Senecals' eight year-old triplets, Robbie, Ryan and Richie, raced in the purple plate division.

Pat Leary of Peru was the Enduro runner-up.
