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.

PERU — The Peru Indians captured a 3-0 victory over Saranac in the Section VII Class B semifinals Tuesday.

That win lands the Indians (14-3) in Saturday's championship game against Beekmantown, which is being played at Clinton Community College at 5 p.m.

This will be Peru's first trip to the Class B title game since 2002 when the Indians defeated Plattsburgh, 3-0.

Abby Higgins led the charge for the Indians with 25 points, eight aces, 10 kills and 14 digs.

Peru captured wins of 25-17, 25-19 and 25-18.

Paige Moore added seven points, six aces, seven kills and nine digs while Callie Garcia finished with six kills and 12 digs.

"Paige Moore and Callie Garcia really stepped up for us offensively," Indian coach Kaylen Fessette said. "Abby was a really strong server and Breanna Martineau was excellent on defense."

Danielle Parker played a superb contest for Saranac (10-7) with 10 points and 11 digs.

Stephanie Linder added nine kills and eight digs.
