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.

Artists Market seeking vendors

PLATTSBURGH — The first NCCCA Artist Market will take place 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 26, at the North Country Cultural Center for the Arts, 23 Brinkerhoff St., Plattsburgh.

The event is an opportunity for local artists to display and sell their fine-art work.

The NCCCA Artist Market was born out of the former NCCCA gift shop that allowed members to sell and display their artwork. The new Artist Market will allow non-member and member artists alike to participate by selling their products. The hope is that the concept will be embraced by artists and become a community-building experience throughout the year.

The market will not only be filled with artists but also family activities, class demonstrations, silent auction/raffle and food and drink sold by NCCCA.

People who are interested in being a vendor must fill out an application by Jan. 5; only 22 vendor slots are available.

For more information, call 563-1604 or email gallery@plattsburgharts.org.

New music class for tots offered

PLATTSBURGH — The NCCCA Arts Center has a new music offering called “Music for Small Hands.”

This weekly program is designed for children 6 months through 3 years and their parents. Each class combines music and movement for a creative and interactive session.

The class will be taught by Josh Meyer, a musician and local math and science teacher at Chazy Central School who grew up in Plattsburgh. Meyer plays upwards of 25 musical instruments and has worked with young musicians and their families for the past seven years.

Music for Small Hands begins Wednesday, Jan. 9, and will continue through Feb. 13. The first session, for children ages 6 to 18 months, will run from 5 to 5:30 p.m. The second session, for 18 months to 3 years, will run from 5:35 to 6:05 p.m.

The cost for the six-week course is $60 or $55 for members of the Arts Center. A parent must attend with the child.
