Last week, bears and the West Nile Virus held a joint press conference announcing their intentions to take Tompkins County for themselves.
Hold it - it's a little less exciting, though still important. Saturday's Journal had an article on bears coming into the area, The print version includes a picture of a bear on Hungerford Hill Road this past June.
There was also an article on West Nile Virus being detected in a mosquito trap at the corner of Hanshaw and Warren Roads, the first time this year it's been found in upstate New York.
Finally, if you want to register to vote in September's primary elections, Friday is the last day to get your registration in.
