May 2415 years agoFifteen graduates of Indus High School dressed in white caps and gowns with green stoles marched to the front of the gymnasium to the familiar strains of “Pomp and Circumstance” to participate in the end of their career.

The current water level targets have been extended through May 31 by the International Rainy-lake of the Woods Watershed Water Levels Committee.The committee reported May 14 that Rainy Lake water level target will remain between the 75 percent and 100 percent band – the top quarter - of the rule curve, without going below the 100 cms (~3,530 cfs) minimum outflow and with outflow changes no larger than 25 cms (~880 cfs) at a time.Namakan Lake’s target will remain in the top half of the band of the rule curve.Sturgeon spawning is beginning in the Rainy River and the committee is closely monitoring outflow from Rainy Lake and its impacts to river spawning downstream under the “Sturgeon Protocol.”The WLC will coordinate with operators to try to maintain steady outflows during the spawning period.
