<p>It's a new world with The Post-Standard only being delivered three days a week. However, I've been doing my best (along with others on staff) to give you more -- more online and more on the days when the paper is being published. Here's what's on tap for this week:</p>

<p><strong>THURSDAY:</strong><br />Main story: Intern Sarah Taddeo interviews Elaine Supp, nationally ranked boardercross competitor. Boardercross, which has become popular in such events as the Winter X Games, pits five snowboarders against each other as they go down a challenging source at the same time.. kind of like roller derby on a ski slope. </p>

<p>Column : Local bass angler Michael Kelly does well at last weekend's Bassmaster Southern Open in Florida, winning the co-angler division.</p>

<p><strong>SUNDAY:</strong><br />Main story: I travel to Otisco Lake for a lesson in fishing for tiger muskies through the ice. This will be a sort of tiger muskie fishing 101 type of story.</p>

<p>Column: I write about my first ice fishing excursion this year with my new Frabill ice shanty and borrowed heater. Life is good.</p>

<p><strong>Other things I'm working on:</strong><br />- I've put in written requests to do stories on two DEC studies currently underway -- one involving trapping and tagging wild turkeys,, the other concerns the local population of fishers. Stay tuned.</p>

<p>- A story about the elongated snow goose hunting season. Anybody seen any lately? Please get in touch with me as soon as any appear.</p>

<p>- Rabbit hunting. Anybody having any luck out there? It's awfully quiet out there.</p>

<p>- The new competitive ice fishing circuit, which has an upcoming tournament on Oneida Lake this month,</p>

<p>- The upcoming Tourathon cross country ski races at Winona Forest. Interested in doing a feature on say the best, oldest competitor, youngest.. something like that.</p>

<p><strong>ANYTHING ELSE READERS OF THIS REPORT WOULD LIKE TO SEE ME WRITE ABOUT? </strong><br />The effectiveness of this report is two-fold. First, it lets readers know what's coming up story-wise. It also allows readers a chance to affect coverage and provide sources for upcoming stories. Bottom line: Keep in touch and give input.
