DAVENPORT—The dawn of the New Year means many hunting seasons, such as deer and elk, are long gone. As winter persists, some hunts remain, while fishing begins to gain steam…both of the ice and standard varieties. Local Fish and Wildlife officer Curt Wood said fishermen are seeing success on Lake Roosevelt for trout and kokanee, both in bank and boat fishing. “I’ve heard of guys finding a lot of kokanee on the west end of the river toward Spring Canyon,” Wood said. Ice fishermen would do well to head to Fourth of July Lake...
MAY Odessa’s Town Council debated whether or not to continue providing recycling service to the town, with the cardboard recycling bin being of particular concern. With the Covid pandemic keeping many folks at home, online ordering of goods skyrocketed, and the cardboard bin began filling up within days of the arrival of an empty bin. The town found it too costly to have the bin emptied more than once a month, leading some folks to leave cardboard on the ground beside the bin once it was full. When the council terminated t...

Cooking for a crowd can lead to leftovers. Hosts want to make sure there is plenty for everyone, and if the number attending is in flux, estimating amounts is difficult. At family gatherings, the host usually wants plenty to send home with the kids. “Planned-overs” is the term I prefer to use. Over the years I have collected a few recipes for make-ahead dishes using turkey and ham dinner planned-overs. If you happened to have planned-over prime rib, the solution is easy, pri...
