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.

PHS first in swimming

CLINTONVILLE — Plattsburgh High won four races and finished first in the team standings at Tuesday's Relay Carnival swimming competition.

The Hornets earned 50 points to beat AuSable Valley by six. Malone's Franklin Academy finished with 40 points.

Josh West was part of Plattsburgh's winning teams in the 300-yard medley, 300 butterfly and 300 breaststroke. Larry Harney joined West on the medley and butterfly teams. Mitch Kilkeary rounded out the medley squad, Hamzah Qudsi helped win the butterfly and Ryan Bracey and Brian Goodell completed the breaststroke team.

Gurav Sheni, Mitch Maggy, Kagen Trombley and Jacob Morrow formed the winning squad in the 200 medley race for first-year competitors.

Nathan Muzzy was part of both of AuSable Valley's winning teams — in the 200 freestyle and the 500 crescendo.

Malone's Tyler Spillane, Sam Moore and Myles Schanck teamed to finish first in the 600 freestyle, and all three swimmers had three wins on the day.
