Rotary Richard stands near the edge of the ice on Dutch Lake late Sunday morning, March 22. A few hours later (left), he had fallen through.

According to Clearwater Rotary Club, the official time was March 22 at 4:01 a.m. and six seconds.

The time is based on when a rock at his feet drops through the ice, stopping the clock on his chest and dropping a flag.

Money raised through the sale of guesses is used to support Rotary projects such as scholarships and student exchanges.
