CLEARWATER  

Applications from high school students interested in traveling abroad as part of an exchange program with Clearwater's sister city, Nagano, Japan, are being accepted by the city. Four will spend two weeks there next summer and be immersed in the language and culture as they stay with local families. They will also visit and give presentations to junior and senior high schools there and be involved in educational exchanges. To be eligible, students must be either a city resident or attend a high school in Clearwater. Scholarships can cover travel costs. Applications are available at www.myclearwater.com or by 562-4832. The deadline is Nov. 27.
