Earth Day has become such a standard celebration in Clear Lake, it’s hard to believe it has been 20 years since a small group of volunteers first organized an event as a way of addressing our lake water quality.

Brian McIntire simply loves to compete.

He’s been everything from a high school standout athlete to a  First Team college football All-American.  After that it was arena football for six years, helping the Sioux Falls Storm win four championships.  But when a serious knee injury sidelined him in 2011, it was time to retire.

Jim and Ann Kuhlman celebrated a special anniversary with a gift to a place they love.

The Mason City couple met in the spring of 1967 and were married later that year.  They marked their 50th year by purchasing and donating a sculpture to Central Gardens of North Iowa.
