Discussion

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.

Malone woman Camping Photo Contest finalist

MALONE — A Malone woman was a finalist in the 2011 Camping Photo Contest, which showcased top images of New York's scenic outdoors.

In a news release, the New York state Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation and Department of Environmental Conservation announced that one grand prize winner and four finalists were selected from more than 1,200 photos submitted among six categories.

The grand-prize winner, Rolf Warncke of New Jersey, won a free weeklong stay at any state campground for his photo of a canoe at Rollins Pond. Weekend stays were also awarded to four runners-up: Amy Trudeau of Malone for her photo of Meacham Lake at sunrise; Laura Sullivan of Fort Drum for her photo of her son with his catch in the Adirondacks; Chris Podosek of Buffalo for his nighttime image of a tent at Treman State Park; and Melissa Benham of East Rochester for her photo of stone steps at Letchworth State Park.

The winning photos are posted in State Parks' online photo gallery.
