Tuesday, October 30, 2018Her 88-year-old father has been caring for her mom for eight years.“To see there are others in the same situation is impactful,” said Sadeghi, of the Lab and Camp retail complexes in Costa Mesa. She hopes awareness will prompt Congress to spend more money on research. “I worry for myself because Alzheimer’s is such a burden on others.”Anne Grey, executive director of the Alzheimer’s Association’s Orange County chapter, whose grandpa died in 2001 after a 14-year struggle, said 16 million people are unpaid care providers for Alzheimer’s patients.“As the prevalence of this disease continues to grow, the cost of care is escalating into the hundreds of billions,” Grey said. “Alzheimer’s is destroying our families, our finances and our future. It’s time to end it.”Bolsa Grande High School volunteer Ivy Pham, 16, gets an impromptu hug from 4-year-old Genesis Thomas while cheering her on during the Walk to End Alzheimer’s in Huntington Beach on Saturday, October 6, 2018.

Walker's Floral Design Studio is the latest addition to downtown Lancaster - Lancaster Eagle Gazette
Sunday, February 10, 2019And I really wanted to take a job and do something completely different than what I was doing. And this is completely different." Hedges is a florist and is Walker's only employee. But Walker said he plans to also hire a delivery person. Once Walker decided what he wanted to do, it didn't take long for the business to open. The process only started on Jan. 19. "I don't like to procrastinate," he said. "So I want things done. Once we got the store, then we went right to work on redesigning the interior." That was followed by ordering product and the store opening. While Walker is focussed on getting his new store running, he's also looking to the future. "A year from now I would like to see us have a second location," he said. "Keep this location, and I would like to have a second location out east (eastern part of Lancaster). That's my goal at this point in time. "But I love the downtown, especially with the upcoming things we have downtown, and them putting so much effort into the restoration of downtown. So that's the reason I want to keep this place and then look for a place out there." Walker's Floral Design Studio is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday-Friday and from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday. The store is closed on Sunday but will see customers that day by appointment only. jbarron@gannett.com 740-681-4340 Twitter: @JeffDBarron... https://www.lancastereaglegazette.com/story/news/local/2018/03/16/walkers-floral-design-studio-latest-addition-downtown-lancaster/424634002/
