I'd say (but shorter or snappier) something to the effect of "Your
neighborhood (or house or property values) could be next!"
It's like why you yell "Fire" if you're being attacked (instead of "Rape" or
"Help me!") ... people will RARELY ever ignore something that can affect
THEM. If you make them see that their property values or their
sanctuary/quality of life could be NEXT, they'll be more likely to react.
As to the how of sending it up, I don't think I'd use a bow (though I'm a
past bowhunter and know that bowhunters tend to be "safer" than
gunhunters -- the "ammo's" more expensive for us bowhunters!! No "wild
shots" with us!!) ... chances are, if some official wanted to be a total
jerk and justify himself, he could always accuse you of being dangerous.
(Did that make sense??)
You could always get some strapping buck to use a grappling hook of sorts
.... all you need is rope approximately twice the height of the pole (though
I'd use longer for fudge-y room) and something to weight the other end.

i'm seriously thinking that i could somehow shoot a line up
to the top of the 50ft tall ugly floodlight poles with a
sign of some sort attached to the end, then pull the sign up
to fly in all its glory for the world to see.
oh how to do it and what to write on the signs.....
i hate the poles, the one directly behind my house has to
go.
a neighbour sent a letter to the City Council about it but
that all takes forever to get anything done about it.
i'm of the opinion that they are there illegally but as the
park is owned by the council and they put the resource
consent thru to a hearing with their own employees (i think
they are paid by the council) who make the decisions on the
resource consent it all seems totally ridiculous why they
bothered with the consent in the first place.
the council decided that the consent could go thru on a
non-notification basis.
seems stupid as the consent had to go to a hearing i'm
guessing because the max height in the district plan is 10
metres, these are 16.5 metres tall but no one thot we might
need to know about it in advance so we could object.
the hearing excluded the public, from what i read mainly
becuz there were no objections.
now how can there be objections when no one was told about
it?
i think the poles should come done immediately until the
proper process is fully gone thru with submissions from the
public, ie the neighbouring residential property owners.
i asked a park supervisor why they were not telescopic poles
that could be retracted when not in use...
'too expensive!' they said.
well these poles werent cheap for sure.
now...
the sports club wants 3 more poles, this time for night
games, consent was only for training.
they also want a 10 metre higher fence (they already added
an extra bit on top of normal 3 metre tall wire type
see-thru fence) added on top. how high all that would be
i've no idea, it is out of hand and mind boggling.
they also want 3 metre high X 10 metre long seats at the
west end of the field.
i'm at the west end of the field.
the seats would be on the same level as back of our
propertys and our fences are the max allowed 2 metres high.
so anyone sitting on them can see into our backyards,
standing gives them an even better view of our homes and
what we do in them.
ok, so there is no way they will get the seats. we dont need
a higher ugly fence and we dont want any more poles for
night games. night games will 'draw in' the unsavoury
useless bored cretians who walk the streets at night with
nothing better to do than get into trouble. when the
'training/games' finish and the lights go out those cretians
will hang around in the park, essentially in our backyards
leaving us unsafe in our own homes, doing who knows what til
it is too late and the damage is done.
i want those poles down now and then figure out what if
anything can be done for those rugby players.
i hate rugby even more now as a result of these poles.
so how do i get a banner/flag/sign up the pole and what
should it say???
if they can play dirty so can i.
fuming in the south pacific,
j.
