Winter has lingered in the valley long enough. High hopes for dry-fly angling dance enticingly in memories formed during the warmth of last summer. Anglers need a little poke to get them going. Here are a few things for anglers at the start of the season: one to remember, one to renew and one to revisit.

You might say that Jim Pavelich and Noah Bender are cooking with gas — at all of their restaurants. Hailing from New Hampshire, Bender, a graduate of Johnson and Wales Culinary school, left a job in Vail to help Pavelich open Northside Kitchen in 2011. Eventually, the two became partners and have, literally, taken their show on the road, opening other eateries from Edwards to West Vail. In Avon, the heart of the operation includes Northside Kitchen Grab n’ Go, Northside Benderz, Southside Benderz and Fattoria.

The practice of share repurchasing, otherwise known as stock buybacks, has generated national headlines in recent months. The idea behind a publicly traded company repurchasing its own stock is fairly straightforward in terms of supply and demand — by buying its own shares, a company attempts to make the remaining stock owned by shareholders more valuable.
