Sisters business at a glance

• Several Sisters businesses are contributing to a unique effort to stem the tide of leaked oil that is clogging the Gulf of Mexico.

Lynn Berg of The Barber Shop has been collecting hair from local businesses in Sisters to send to the gulf. The hair is made into mats to be rolled or hand-stuffed into nylons which are then covered with orange plastic netting and lashed together to form booms to prevent movement of the oil

onshore.

The Sisters collection will continue for another week as part of an international effort.

Hair was collected from The Barber Shop; The Hair Caché; Deri's Salon; Metamorphosis; High Desert Hair Co.; Groomingdales; Bend Pet Resort; Chad Hurtley; and Teresa Smith.
