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.

Hickey wins Chisum Memorial

Press-Republican

MALONE — AuSable Valley's John Hickey was the only golfer to break 80 as he carded a 79 Monday to win low medalist honors in the Annual Craig Chisum Memorial Intersectional Golf Tournament held at the Malone Golf Club.

Over 20 area schools from Section VII and X were represented and a total of 84 players hit the links in a shotgun format at 3 p.m. The weather was sunny, but extremely windy.

Potsdam's Mike Chambers and Saranac Lake's Michael Phalen each recorded an 84, while Franklin Academy's Seth Barney shot an 87.

In the team event, it was decided by only one stroke, with Section VII retaining the title with an average score of 93.29 versus Section X's 94.30.

The coaches from Section VII retained the "Coaches Cup" with a stroke average of 87.13 compared to 88.25 for the Section X coaches. AuSable Valley's Chris Dubay led the way with an 81, followed by Brushton-Moira's Randy Todd with an 82. Northeastern Clinton's Matt Fredette was third with an 84.

The Chisum Memorial is the premier junior golf tournament in the North Country. It is strategically scheduled between the high school sectionals and the state championship being played this weekend at Cornell University.

Students, coaches and athletic directors all compete in the event in different flights.

The tournament is in memory of Craig Chisum, who was an avid golfer from Malone who was tragically killed by a drunk driver while attending Methodist College in North Carolina in the late 1980's. His father, Mel, was the PGA Golf Professional at Bluff Point in Plattsburgh for many years.

A scholarship is given each year at Franklin Academy in Malone for a student who is pursuing a business degree in college and has a strong interest in golf.
