The 60 foot wind turbine was installed on the Bancroft-Rosalie School playground on Friday. Joel Jacobs from the University of Nebraska Wind Application Center did most of the work setting up the turbine. Cuming County Power lifted the turbine into place. Steiny had the tower stored behind his shop and brought to the playground. Mr. Hoffman, Mr. Peters, Bruce and Preston helped slide the two tower pieces into place. Cary Renz brought 80 foot of wire to get the tower ready for wiring.
The turbine is not running yet. The wire still needs to be run to the school, which should be completed before school starts.
We also need to do some repair work on Myron Beineke's driveway. The truck and the loader tore up his grass a little bit and will need to be fixed as soon as it dries.
