Paul Bastiaanse and Dan Hern of Valley Restoration in Torrington were above it all, Tuesday morn-ing, April 16, as they repaired the stem and set a new gilded ball in place on the flagpole. The gilded ball that formerly topped the flagpole was lost last August when a truck hit the pole, knocking the ball off its post. Despite a search in the area at that time, the 16-inch-diameter ornament was never recov-ered. Renovations to the flagpole are usually funded by efforts of retired Newtown Police lieutenant David Lydem. (Crevier photo)
