The city has recently had a flag contest, the winner of which was announced at the city council meeting on December 8. The new flag is white with two wavy red stripes along the bottom and a red anchor in the upper hoist. It was designed by resident Ben Lucas.

�The defining feature of Port Clinton has always been the lake,� said Lucas, who also studies philosophy at Bowling Greens Fireland. �The city would be completely unrecognizable if it were in Central Ohio, instead of on Lake Erie. �The waves and the anchor reflect this, the waves referencing the city�s economy, culture, and identity. The anchor reflects our identity as a port city, and the importance of fishing and boating to the culture.

What�s important with a flag is being able to represent the city with as simple a design as possible, a reason why I stuck to only a few design elements.�
