 Three of the big winners at this year's Brainard J.C.'s ice fishing extravaganza have been cleared of accusations that they cheated in order to win their prizes. Event organizers say winners Ivan, Stefan and Rostek Lyoski, a father and two sons from Hartfield, Ohio, all passed lie detector tests administered this week. The official rules of the contest provide that the contest judge may require any prize winner to take a polygraph examination. After anonymous concerns were brought to the attention of the organizers regarding the three men, they agreed to take the lie detector test. The lie test examiner certified that no deception had taken place with regard to the fishing contest and all three men will receive their prizes, which include a pickup truck, $1,000 and an ice hogger. 2018 event chairperson Shane Myers says organizers want everyone to know that they always take matters like this very seriously. He says they are pleased with the results of the inquiry and appreciate the cooperation of the Lyoski family.
