The Killingworth Ambulance Association would like to thank Killingworth True Value and Tom Cost, Jr., for replacing a broken rope on the flagpole outside the building. The rope was broken during one of the recent storms, and the KAA needed to install a new one.
That, as it turned out, was not as easy as it might seem because finding someone who could reach the top of the pole was challenging. The fire company doesn’t have a ladder truck, and the local tree companies have been busy cleaning up damage from the storms.
So the KAA approached Killingworth True Value and asked if it would install the rope for a fee. The store declined. Instead, it said it would do it for nothing. The KAA is grateful for the support it received … and has received … from Killingworth True Value and, in this instance, from Tom Cost, Jr., who installed the new rope.
