PAR Electric, which provided the tools and equipment, and IBEW Local 53, which provided the manpower, teamed up with Judy Knowles to trim the branches overhanging some of the utility poles along Austin Boulevard in Nevada on Friday. Work went quickly thanks to fair weather that day. The heavy growth of branches made it hard or impossible for Knowles, known as the Flag Lady, to get the United States and POW/MIA flags installed on the poles. Larry Steuben and Ronnie McGlade worked Friday to get the poles ready for Knowles and her crew to install the flags. "I couldn't do this without all of the people who help, Knowles said.
