Three take a cold spill into Lake Newport


YOUNGSTOWN — Two teenage boys and a man who slipped through the ice at Lake Newport in Mill Creek Park on Sunday did not require medical treatment, said park Police Chief Nathan Pinkard. A boy who had been pushing snow into the lake near the dam slipped into the water around 2:50 p.m., followed by his friend, the chief said. A man who had been with the boys entered the lake to help them and also fell through the ice. A passer-by called park police and then he and the mother of one of the boys used jumper cables to get everyone to safety. Pinkard said those involved in the mishap are from Boardman, having moved here recently from Georgia.
