Dave Callison, of Ventura, proved that hard work and determination pay off at any age.  Callison recently competed in the Prairie Spirit 100-mile ultra-marathon in Ottawa, Kan.  Callison finished first in his age group, 50-59, and was seventh overall with a time of 21 hours and 12 minutes.

Four Clear Lake firefighters tested their skills in a fun and rewarding way.

Aaron Forsythe, Aaron Ruggles, Chris Wessels and Justin Becthold raced up the stairs of four downtown buildings in Des Moines as participants in the American Lung Association’s “Fight For Air Climbs.”  The group was fully outfitted in their CLFD turnout gear, as well as carrying self-contained breathing apparatus.
