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.

New art gallery opens in Ticonderoga

-- Press-Republican

TICONDEROGA — Aided by the Ticonderoga Revitalization Alliance, a new arts showroom, The Downtown Art Gallery, has opened in the town.

Thanks to building owners Peter and Lynne Reale and John and Carrie Reale, the alliance has been given rent-free occupancy of the storefront until Columbus Day. 

Caroline Verner, the Revitalization Alliance’s cultural arts intern, cleaned, painted and curated the space, along with coordinating all of the artists and donors.

Alliance CEO Justin Woods said the artists represented work from a wide variety of mediums.

“As part of the Cultural Arts Initiative, sponsored by the Ti Alliance, the Downtown Art Gallery hopes to brighten downtown Ti, and present an attractive atmosphere for both tourism and businesses. The Downtown Gallery will provide a critical link to anchor the Ti Arts Walks we are planning,” Woods said in a news release.

Featured artists include Terry Brannock (photography), Stan Burdick (cartoons), the Carson family (painting, mixed media, abstract), Michelle Danforth (painting), George DeMers (woodwork, replica fort), Kerry Fingland (stained glass, ADK chair), Sarah Gabler (mixed media collage), Dawn House (painted pieces, sculpture), Bette Ladeau (wood painting), Andrea McDonald (photography), Britney McCarthy (painting), Ruth Rumney (painting), Brandon Russell (photography), Richard Timberlake (photography), Caroline Verner (flower vases, photography, piano) and Terry Walsh (photography).

The Downtown Gallery is located at 119 Montcalm St., and will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays.

Artwork will all be available for purchase, with a portion of the proceeds being donated back to the Ti Alliance to support economic development and cultural arts initiatives in Ticonderoga.
