CADILLAC â It was only by chance this past December Wexford County Commissioner Michael Bengelink saw an ad on social media for a wooden flag.
He wasn t looking for it. He wasn t even thinking about it, but the algorithms used to cater to his social media experience brought the wooden art piece made in Bitely to his attention. It caught his eye, and from there, it started the process of getting these flags into the hands of Wexford County first responders. This includes firefighters, police, EMS, corrections and central dispatch. Something came over Facebook and it had a wooden flag with a yellow line which was for central dispatch. I sent it to (Wexford County 911 Director) Duane Alworden and he liked it. I said I would buy it for dispatch and drove to Bitely and bought it, Bengelink said.
