Rotary Richard (centre) appears to be ice-fishing on Dutch Lake. In the background are Brendan Chrystall of Barriere and Hunter Loewen of Darfield. The plywood cutout was placed on the lake two weeks ago. People are invited to guess when the ice will go out (as measured by a rock at Richard’s feet falling through, stopping the clock on his chest and dropping his flag). Money raised will be used for Clearwater Rotary Club projects such as scholarships and student exchanges. Last year’s date was March 19 and the year before was March 22.
