Harvest offers help
for healing
That old saying that “time heals
all wounds” sounds good, but it isn’t
true. Unfortunately, time sometimes
makes matters worse. Wounds that are
left untended fester and grow and time
will only extend the pain if the problem are invited to gather with one another
isn’t dealt with.
Harvest Bible Chapel Clear Lake
is offering a unique, effective Christ
centered program to help overcome
hurts, hangups and habits. While some
programs focus on alcohol and drugs,
“Celebrate Recovery” is a “large um-
brella” program under which a limitless
number of issues can be dealt with.
“Celebrate Recovery” is forward
looking. Rather than wallowing in
the past or dredging up and going over
painful memories over and over, it fo-
cuses on the future. There is hope in
the future!
Meetings are at Harvest Bible
Chapel, 2200 N. 24th St., in Clear
Lake, on Thursday evenings beginning
at 6:30 p.m. with food and fellowship

Lego League Team to advance
There was a cause for celebration for First Lego League Team FIRE (Future
Intelligent Robotic Engineers) when they learned they have been selected to
advance to National Competition for the Global Innovation Award. A surprise
party to reveal the news to the team was held on Wednesday, Feb. 10, at the
Garner Education Center.
First Lego League Team FIRE is made up of students from Clear Lake,
Ventura and Garner. They are coached by Aaron and Emily Forsyth, of Clear
Lake. Members include: Bronson Buitenwerf, Ethan Forsyth, Nathan Kam-
berger, Caleb Nicholson, Elisabeth Nicholson, Austin Richardson, Liz Richard-
son, Mattea Skinner, Tyler Skinner, and Aden Williams.
The team’s journey began with Regional Competition held on Nov. 21,
in Denver, Iowa. Out of 18 teams, the team received the Overall Champions
Award and the Global Innovation Award (GIA), which was given for the project
with the most real-world innovative solution. Receiving this award advanced
the team to the next level. The teams were judged in three areas, Robot, Project,
and Core Values.
State competition was held at Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa, on Jan.
17. Out of 58 teams, Team FIRE received the Honorable Mention Award for
Core Values. After the judge’s deliberation, they were awarded the Global In-
novation Award nomination to advance to National competition.
At this point the team will complete an extensive application in hopes of
being one of 20 teams invited to present in Washington D.C. The group will
receive word if they have advanced to the Semi-Finals around April 15. Teams
that advance to the Semi-Finals will participate in the Global Innovation events,
Washington D.C.
