Discussion

IMPORTANT: Comments that include a personal attack on other commenters will be deleted in their entirety. Your comments are not welcome here if you can't maintain a civil tone.

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.

Doyle wins 2 divisions at E'town fishing tourney

ELIZABETHTOWN — Brian Doyle claimed both the bass and pike divisions when the Elizabethtown Fish and Game Club held its third-annual fishing tournament Sunday on Lincoln Pond.

Doyle reeled in a 4-pound, 8-ounce bass, and second-place finisher Daniel Crean was not far behind with a catch weighing 4-7. Doyle won the pike division with a fish weighing 2-14 while Brian Huntson took second with a weight of 2-10.

George Vanhoesen hauled in a perch that measured 33.5 inches long to take first in that category.

More than 100 people participated, and in addition to local anglers, participants also came from the Plattsburgh and Albany areas. For those 15 and under, as well as in the perch division, their prowess was measured by the total lengths of the fish.

In addition, the 50/50 raffle winner was Savannah Bronson, and Trinity Dingman was the Early Bird winner.
