With environmental concerns at the core of the 2016 presidential elections, the Clayton County Democrats have organized a Green Ways Rally on Saturday, April 16, in Guttenberg.

“It’s a watershed moment in history where we’re all realizing this movement better come from the ground up, because it’s not coming from the top down,” said event chair Gina Dahlstrom-Osburn. “This is a bipartisan effort for people concerned about environmental health, our health, and the future we leave.”

Hatchery stands empty; staff travels to Spirit Lake

Submitted by agreve on Wed, 04/06/2016 - 09:08

The Guttenberg aquarium usually opens each year in May, but its opening may be delayed this year because staff who normally fill the tanks with fish caught while netting northern pike will be helping with walleye netting in Spirit Lake. (Press photo by Molly Moser)

By Molly Moser

After over 40 years of hatching northern pike, the Guttenberg hatchery is empty this spring. The clear tubes and tanks that have held thousands of tiny fry are dry, and as a consequence, the aquarium in Guttenberg is too. 

“Typically we’d probably have babies on board right now,” said Kevin Hanson, DNR Fisheries Technician in Guttenberg. “We had that warm spell and the water came up, and that’s the perfect combination.”
