Boys Try Out Cracking Ice. Police Called
Police Chief Jack Ruddy warned parents to keep children off Five Island lake ice until safer winter weather. A resident reported two boys aged about 10 and 13 wandering on a 1 inch thick ice ledge over water up to ten feet deep, near Country Club Bay. The youths were rescued by authorities, narrowly avoiding drowning as dredging left pockets of deep water. Ruddy urged caution and keeping kids off the ice until thaw and, later, ice safety at the city rink.
