Lakes Middle School eighth graders explore Civil War through demonstrations

Reel dancing was a fine way to spend time in 1800s America. It was popular again Monday during an American Civil War reenactment at Lakes Middle School, where students lined up, faced each other and galloped two-by-two along the rows, dipping and diving through arm arches and clapping along as they gave the Boston Tea Party dance a whirl. “I love the hands-on," eighth grader Jonathan Mohr said. "It’s a lot more educational in my opinion."

An angler's guide to kokanee management

Kokanee are stocked throughout the state and success depends on stocking and conditions

Most of a kokanee’s diet consists of plankton, which are small, aquatic organisms barely visible to the human eye. Plankton abundance (or scarcity) is driven by water conditions, and when plankton thrive, kokanee thrive, and vice versa. It takes at least 2 to 3 years for a stocked fingerling to grow to catchable size, but biologists can’t accurately forecast how much food will be available from year to year.
