EYOTA, Minn. – First-responders from Eyota and Dover rescued two boys who were trapped out on Silver Creek Reservoir when the ice cracked around them. Both were brought safely to shore. The boys had hauled a shed with fishing gear 150 yards out on the 106-acre reservoir north of the Rochester suburb of Chester. The reservoir is backed up behind a dam built in the 1930s for flood control. The reservoir adjoins the Haverhill Wildlife Management Area.
