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.

Tupper girls lose opener



BRASHER FALLS — Molly McCuin scored on a putback with seven seconds left to lift St. Lawrence Central to a 35-33 victory over the Tupper Lake Lumberjacks in Northern Athletic Conference girls' basketball Monday night.

The visitors held a five-point lead at one point in the fourth quarter, but Jenna Evans nailed a 3-pointer and McCoin, a 2-pointer, to tie it at 31 with three minutes to play. The game was still deadlocked at 33 when St. Lawrence called a timeout with 17 seconds to play. McCuin then put in the game-winner.

Tupper Lake outscored host St. Lawrence from the field, but made only three of nine free-throw attempts while the Larries were 7-for-10.

McCuin finished with 19 points to lead all scorers.

Taylor Keniston scored 10 points and had eight rebounds for Tupper Lake. Amber Lawyer had five assists.

Tupper Lake will host the Women's Hoop Booster Tournament this weekend. Saranac Lake and Hermon-Dekalb will meet in the 6 p.m. opener Friday with Tupper Lake taking on Salmon River at 7:45 p.m. The consolation and championship games will be played Saturday.
