Warm welcome
A total of 57 recruits and recruiter enjoyed a recent visit to Put-in-Bay and East Harbor State Park. My son-in-law, Sgt. Derel Carpenter, led the contingent.
Mike Bassett helped with food for a picnic at East Harbor and the PIB Chamber arranged for a lunch donated by the Boathouse, the Boardwalk and Frosty’s. Miller Boat Line gave us reduced price ferry tickets and the PIB Chamber donated a golf cart for the photographer, my daughter Jacquie Carpenter, through Island Bikes and Carts. Special thanks for the PIB Perry’s Monument staff for the special black powder musket demonstration and history lesson. Extra special thanks to Don Rhodes for the free parking at the Ottawa City General Store and to my mother, Jane Davenport, for helping feed the troops.
Many thanks to all for helping out.

Street work
I have read your progress reports about the sewer and water lines and how happy the citizens of Port Clinton are. Mayor Tester, I am one of your unhappy citizens.
I do understand that the tearing up and the construction is part of the process. I have lost my sidewalks, my driveway, my front grassy boulevard, water with no warning, had to flush the hot water tank, had boil alerts hung on my door. Now this week, construction has resumed again with no warning, this time they are installing new water taps. I truly thought construction was done with this section of the road. This construction is south of the sidewalks, going further into my property. Yes, so I am going to have new sidewalks, curbs, road, driveway and lawn. I have kept my windows closed trying to keep the dust from filtering through my home.
The two construction engineers are so different. Kwest worked with the Third Street residences and our parking situations. The other construction company is rude. They put their heavy equipment on what is left of our properties, dump stone blocking driveways, leave their cardboard from the copper water lines wherever so when it rains it falls in pieces, when using their forklift letting the forks dig up more sod, cutting down tree branches on private property. Is this how the Washington, Second and Adams street residents are also being treated?
Mayor Tester, when was the last time you tried to travel down Third Street? You need to see this first hand. Let’s see you try to get home from work, with alleys and streets closed and no left turn from Fulton onto Perry.
The city of Port Clinton has done an extremely poor job of keeping us residents abreast of the construction.

PUT-IN-BAY — Join Perry’s Victory and International Peace Memorial staff Aug. 21-23 for a celebration in honor of an American hero — Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry. Perry, the commander of American naval forces in the War of 1812, demonstrated unparalleled strength of character and bravery during the Battle of Lake Erie. In a time of great adversity, Perry’s exceptional leadership allowed American troops to claim triumph over the British in one of the most significant navel victories in U.S. history.
