Let a hundred flowers bloom in honor of Zeke the Sheik - The Pasadena Star-News
Tuesday, September 10, 2019I mean, you can only fertilize so many zucchini. If the pile weren’t there, or were smaller, he could have grown a bushel and a peck more veg.But, as our Janette Williams noted in these pages nine years ago, Zeke saw the compost itself as his life’s work. When after much legal wrangling it was bulldozed on April 20, 2005 when the property was put on the market by the cemetery — the owner of the lot on which Zeke squatted — it was a traumatic experience Dundon told Janette he never gotten over.Janette, our beloved late longtime reporter and then city desk editor, was one of many journalists who made a tremendous amount of hay out of the compost pile and its master.Since at least as far back as 1985 — first reference I can find to him, in a letter to the editor we printed, “Zeke’s not funny,” apparently regarding his pot smoking — journos had a ball reporting on eccentric Altadena’s chief eccentric.His antics were a gift from the gods to headline writers.“Cemetery has heap of trouble,” 1990. “It’s Zeke the Sheik, live from his heap,” same year. “Mountains to climb” was the hed on a photo essay we ran in 2000. The legal problems, er, mounted. The big old thing caught on fire a few times, burning for months.The headlines got more serious: “A heap of worries.” “Eviction from Eden?” “Stink continues over compost.” Lots of people wrote letters in, supporting the gardener: “Compost no crime.” Stig Erlander, that steely-eyed Lake Avenue health-food merchant and proselytizer for the virtues of raw milk, wrote in to call it “a pile of value.” We even ran an editorial, which I wrote, “How to save Dundon’s hill,” published April Fool’s Day of 2005, and not joking.At the very end, three weeks later, they became more serious. Instead of “Altadena man once again jousts with county over mammoth mound,” our last hed, over a story by Kimm Groshong, was “Removal of huge pile b... https://www.pasadenastarnews.com/2019/08/14/let-a-hundred-flowers-bloom-in-honor-of-zeke-the-sheik/
How a Calvin Klein designer started his own floral design business - Los Angeles Times - Los Angeles Times
Tuesday, July 23, 2019Nam Vo, who is best known for doing Kylie Jenner’s makeup. His regular gig, though, is a workshop he leads at Urban Outfitters’ Space Ninety8 in Williamsburg — where he teaches interested parties how to make arrangements and about the philosophies of ikebana.Kabigting says he has a short attention span, which might explain his tendency to jump from one line of work to the next. But he says this mind frame allows him to get creative with his arrangements, tell stories with colors and textures and make something that can be appreciated from multiple angles.“I don’t watch commercials, I can’t read a book from front page to back — I go to the back,” he says. “With movies, I’m the same way. I start from the end. Whether it’s this idea of control, or whatever it is, I like to be interested immediately. I like this idea of a beautiful, well-styled thing that is a full-on celebration, which you’re excited by. While at Calvin Klein, Fernando Kabigting practiced his love for arranging by giving flowers to his co-workers on their birthdays and leaving stems on their desks.(Jillian S... https://www.latimes.com/fashion/la-ig-wwd-calvin-klein-designer-flowers-20181218-story.html

Tuesday, July 09, 2019We want to make their experiences and their life matter down to every little day,” said Pam Rowe with Bluegrass Care Navigators.Cary Williams of Friends With Flowers got the idea 13 years ago from a group in North Carolina. She thought her community could benefit as well.“When you are bedridden, you know you are isolated and so are the caretakers,” said Cary Williams.She said that the weekly visits are a highlight, not only for the patients, but also their families adding a little humanity to what otherwise can be a difficult time.“They’re ready to talk about their life, all their experiences, their children, their grandchildren,” said Williams.Williams said that they’re not just spreading joy, they are getting it in return.“I feel like I get more out of it than even the patients,” said Williams.The group meets to arrange flowers every Saturday at Johnson’s Funeral Home in Scott County.
