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.

Saranac reaches semifinals

SARANAC — Kelli Jock, Kim Plumadore and Kayla Nason led the way Thursday night as Saranac recorded a 3-0 win over Saranac Lake in the Section VII Class B volleyball quarterfinals.

The Chiefs, who improved to 12-5 overall, won by game scores of 25-20, 25-12, 25-18.

Jock finished with eight kills, one dig and two blocks, while Plumadore added 18 points, one kill, five assists, four aces and nine digs, and Nason, four points, nine kills, one ace and seven digs.

"Jock had a strong match at the net for us," said Saranac head coach Joanne Johnson. "She also had two timely blocks that helped us in the first game.

"Plumadore had some strong serving and the rest of the team did a good job putting the ball away. And, Nason was steady as usual."

The Red Storm were led by Heleni Kuma with three points, 10 kills, two blocks and four digs, while Erin Miner added 10 points, two kills, two assists and two digs.

The winner of the Peru vs. Plattsburgh High School match will be the Chiefs' opponent in the semifinals.
