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.

Teaching artists sought to workwith seniors

PLATTSBURGH — Lifetime Arts Inc. is seeking experienced teaching artists in all disciplines to conduct a series of classes for older adults in public libraries within Clinton, Essex and Franklin counties.

Workshops may be offered either once or twice a week from April 1 to Oct. 31, 2013. A minimum of eight sessions is required.

Artists will be working in collaboration with library directors in libraries that are members of the Clinton-Essex-Franklin Library System, which is a rural partner in this project. The goal of these programs is to facilitate arts learning and provide older adults with meaningful social interaction. Each series must conclude with a public event, such as an art show of works created, a reading or performance. Selected teaching artists will receive an instructional fee in addition to being paid for preparation time and planning. This is a pilot project with an opportunity to expand.

Interested applicants should submit a resume with teaching experience and an artist statement, which includes your interest and/or experience in working with older adults. Nonprofit arts organizations with arts-education capabilities are also encouraged to submit. Use “CEF Teaching Artist” as the subject line, and send application to efriedman@lifetimearts.org. For questions, call (914) 355-2304.
