Officials: Lift black bass ban
Fish farmers from northern New York are rounding up support for a new law that would lift a ban on the sale of farm-raised black bass in New York.
The proposed bill would lift the state Department of Environmental Conservation ban on the sale of farm-raised black bass to fish markets, retailers and restaurants.
Dean Norton is president of the New York Farm Bureau. He contends that passing the legislation will result in job creation for rural areas throughout the North Country.

The New York Yankees! In spectacular 3-D!
I'm a fan of the New York Mets, but this is still pretty cool.
According to a report by the Associated Press, the nation's largest satellite television company, DirecTV, and the YES Network are planning to televise what they're calling the first ever Major League Baseball game in 3-D.
How do ya like them apples, James Cameron?
"The New York Yankees vs. Seattle Mariners games on July 10 and 11 will be aired in New York, Connecticut, Washington, Oregon, Alaska and parts of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Montana and Idaho," reads the AP report.
The games air at 10 p.m. July 10 and 4 p.m. July 11. The games will be played in Seattle at Safeco Field.
Before you get too excited, you may want to check out the deals at Best Buy, because you're going to need a 3-D television set.
I for one am excited about this. I'm very interested to see what sports will look like in 3-D. I already can't go back to regular definition after watching the 2009-10 National Football League season on a high-def set (not my own, unfortunately).

Hoffman: Conservative endorsement not a given
Congressional hopeful Doug Hoffman says he does not view the Conservative Party endorsement as a given or something he is owed.
The Lake Placid public accountant who recently purchased a home in Saranac Lake is traveling the North Country, meeting with Republican, Conservative and Independent party leaders.
Hoffman is in a two-way race for the GOP nomination with Watertown banker Matt Doheny. He narrowly lost to Democratic Representative Bill Owens last fall in a special election to fill the 23rd Congressional District seat.

Owens seeking input from business community
In his continuing push to spur job creation in upstate New York, Congressman Bill Owens has launched an effort to get feedback from businesses across the North Country.
Owens, who represents New York’s 23rd Congressional District, sent questionnaires to business leaders in hopes of receiving feedback on what Congress can do to – quote – “more effectively create jobs for thousands of area New Yorkers looking for work.”
In a release issued Monday, Owens said job creation is the key to long-term economic recovery.
