Back to school night
Back-to-school night at Jeremy Ranch Elementary School is Aug. 20, four days before the first day of school.
The event is scheduled from 5:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m.
Back-to-school nights in previous years happened at the elementary school after the school year had started. The event is earlier this year to give students and parents opportunities to meet teachers and find classrooms before school starts.
Mill Hollow opens for fishing
One of northern Utah’s most popular mountain reservoirs has reopened to fishing, according to Utah Division of Wildlife Resources spokesman Mark Hadley.
Repairs on the dam at Mill Hollow reservoir southeast of Woodland have been completed.
The Division of Wildlife Resources has stocked the lake with fish.
“We recently stocked more than 3,000 rainbow and albino rainbow trout into the reservoir,” Scott Root, a state wildlife official, said in a prepared statement. “The water level isn’t real high yet, but the reservoir is refilling, and there’s no difficulty accessing it. Anglers are doing well using traditional baits, lures and small flies.”
Root reminds anglers that the trout limit at the reservoir is four fish. Most of the trout will be between 10 and 12 inches long.
“The Kamas hatchery may stock more catchable-sized rainbow trout into the reservoir in the near future,” Root said. “They may also stock some smaller brook and tiger trout.”
Mill Hollow reservoir is about 14 miles southeast of Woodland. Contact DWR officials at (801) 491-5678 for more information.
Medical gear will be sent to Peru
Outdated medical equipment taken from a former Summit County Health Department clinic in Coalville is slated to be sent to a humanitarian group in Peru.
While cleaning the clinic this month, an inmate work crew located about 36 boxes of medical equipment, Summit County Sheriff’s Office Detective Ron Bridge said.
“Several months prior to the cleanup, the deputy in charge of the work crew visited Peru with the ASCEND humanitarian group,” Bridge said in a prepared statement. “The equipment was to be removed and taken to the landfill, but the deputy knew it could be donated and put to good use.”
Officials at ASCEND: A humanitarian alliance, intend to ship the supplies to Peru, according to Bridge.
“It was still in perfect working order,” Bridge said. “State of the art for an environment such as Peru.”
