Sisters flagpole planted in time for holiday

Ted Napier poured setting sand while Gerry Tewalt, Fred Pelkey and Daryl Tewalt straightened Sisters' new flag pole.

Just in time for Independence Day, Old Glory is flapping proudly from a community flag pole at the east end of town.

Volunteers set the flag pole last week.

Gerry Tewalt and his son Daryl led the effort, with engineering help from Ted Napier, landscaping expertise from Fred Pelkey and equipment from Joel Aylor's Sisters Tree.

"It's a Cadillac flag pole," Tewalt observed.
