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.

Weyerhaeuser AuSable River Canoe Marathon entries break 2010 ...
, 2010, The Weyerhaeuser AuSable River Canoe Marathon broke last year’s record field with 91 entries to date. “Marathon Mania” hits full steam with the Spikes Challenge Race starting off the week. Most of the marathon paddlers will be entering this race which allows them to go “live” on this section of the river against the competition and to run it in daylight.
The marathon line-up has a variety of teams to offer race fans. Along with the 2009 champions of Andy Triebold and Steve LaJoie, looking to defend their title, there are some great teams setting up in the different divisions. The Senior, Masters, and Mixed Divisions have some of the toughest competitors to be seen in the marathon. Fourteen states and two Canadian provinces are represented in this year’s race. 33 paddlers are making their first trip down the river at night with 6 teams having both first time paddlers. Rick Joy is paddling in his 33 marathon while Lynne Witte is going for number 30!
The marathon is taking shape and organizers and volunteers have worked hard to put this event together. The sponsors from both Grayling and Oscoda and towns in-between have been the link to making this marathon a success.
Marathon Merchandise is available in the downtown Grayling store all week long and also at Penrod’s Canoe Livery during time trials on the Thursday and Friday. Oscoda also has marathon wear available at their end. Keep checking the marathon website for updates!
