Dock Repairs Taking Place
|
 Last year, Lakeside suffered the misfortune of being directly in the path of four major sustained windstorms that resulted in record surf and significant damage.
This past fall, scuba divers were dispatched to analyze damage to the dock. On the east side of the dock, they found two damaged areas on the external sections of the metal plates fortifying the dock.
Once damaged, powerful wave action washed away fill rock used in the interior section of the dock structure. In turn, this created major voids where the concrete surface of the dock began to collapse.

Celebrate the Lakeside Daisy on May 18
|
 In early May, an ordinary looking patch of gravel along Ohio's Most Beautiful Mile bursts into full bloom.
The bright Lakeside daisy (Tetraneuris herbacea) is one of Ohio's most spectacular wildflowers. This long-lived perennial grows where few others can, on nearly barren limestone bedrock in full sunlight.
In early to mid-May, the bright, yellow flowers adorn the otherwise bleak and sunbaked landscape of the Marblehead Quarry; the only natural population of the Lakeside daisy in the U.S. It is a federally threatened species and has been listed as endangered in Ohio since 1980.

The construction crew has also been busy creating a gaming space for teens by creating new walls in the massive space.
