Our
Kiwanis Flag Pole crew have installed hundreds of flag poles but this
morning, they had a first. They put up a larger than regular pole by
working from the roof and threading the poll down through 3 snug fitting collars to a
base that had been installed on the side of the building. The Crew today included Dale Rocker, Ken Meyer, Ted Payne and Dave Oates.
It
was all two of the fellows could handle to work with the large pole on
the roof and get it in position to slip down through the collars to the
base. This installation was scheduled for earlier in the week but with
winds of 30mph and gusts much higher, it would have been very
dangerous. Even with very little wind this morning, it appeared to me
that getting it in position to slip through that first collar was the
most critical phase of the whole operation. The Flag installation was
done by ropes which enable it to be raised and lowered from the ground
level. The County Courthouse Dome is the focal point of downtown Seward
and always makes a nice background. It also helps identify location.
