Clear Lake High School athletes returned from spring break ready to begin training for their sports.  Monday, Coach Troy Tysdahl (pictured) led the CLHS Boys Track Team in stretching exercises at Lions Field.  Soccer and tennis teams were also practicing, while golfers are waiting to step onto the course.

The Clear Lake Mirror-Reporter will feature a Spring Sports Preview and pictures of all the teams in its April 4 edition.

The Clear Lake School Board was scheduled to discuss its sharing agreements with the Mason City School District at its Tuesday, March 20, meeting in the wake of Mason City pulling out of its shared contract for a food service director.

At its meeting last week the Mason City Board voted 4-1 to hire its own full-time food service director for the 2018-19 school year.  Board member Brent Seaton abstained from the vote and Alan Steckman was absent from the meeting.

One of the surest signs of spring has appeared.  The cities of Clear Lake and Ventura have set their Large Item Pick-Up dates, signaling the start of some serious spring cleaning.
