Sunrise on the stars and stripes

The flag atop the construction crane at Kalispell Regional Medical Center catches the first rays of sunrise on Tuesday. The flag and crane have been part of the Kalispell skyline since May 2011. The 120-foot-tall crane is scheduled to come down on Sept. 22. The flag as well as the two banners on the crane will be given to Pam Winston, widow of Fred Winston, a crane operator who died July 18.
