Out of flowers? Flour? Businesses contend with supply crises - Colorado Springs Gazette

While shortages are an obstacle for many small businesses, some owners have actually made materials in short supply the heart of their business.Albany Woodworks uses reclaimed wood from demolished houses, barns and other buildings to make flooring and paneling. When Richard Woods started the business more than 40 years ago, reclaimed wood was easy to find and he had no competition. But demand has grown from renovating homeowners and groups restoring historical sites, and so has the number of rival firms."We are constantly having to network to find new suppliers that may have quality wood," says Woods, whose company is located in Tickfaw, Louisiana.

He also gets obsolete equipment from decommissioned call centers and data centers.Widespread Electric sells about half a million breakers a year, with some costing as much as $25,000. The cost is worth it for a business that otherwise would have to retrofit its power systems.Supply shortages are an inherent part of the electrical business, Vaughn says."It's directed by the manufacturers themselves," he says. "They put out a product line and sell it with a planned obsolescence program behind it."_____Follow Joyce Rosenberg at www.twitter.com/JoyceMRosenberg .

MORRIS: Taking time to smell the roses - Evening News and Tribune

NEW ALBANY — Lana Aebersold got a taste of retirement last month, even though it wasn't planned.In bed with the flu, she was unable to work at her usual spot inside Aebersold Florist leading up to Valentine's Day for the first time in more than five decades. The busiest two or three days in a floral designer's year, and she was at home, trying to get back on her feet."I was miserable," she said. "I would have rather been here. I was just too sick to worry about it."But in 11 days, she will be taking a permanent break from the business. At 71, and with more things to accomplish, Lana is retiring. Although she will still help out if needed since she lives within an earshot of the business.Lana has worked at Aebersold Florist for 55 of the 110 years the business has been open. She met David Aebersold when she was 16, the two started dating, and she asked his mother for a job."She said if you break up you can't leave," Lana said.The two married four years later and she has never strayed too fa... http://www.newsandtribune.com/opinion/morris-taking-time-to-smell-the-roses/article_eda3c98e-1fe9-11e8-90bc-bf7ffe7847ca.html

Gardening: Flower shows offer spring in deep winter - The Providence Journal

Rooted in Maine.” There will be 14 display gardens, 115 exhibits of plants, hardscape, arbor and garden supplies, and many workshops and seminars.A show I only recently heard about is near Albany in Troy, New York. In its 31st year, it is called the Capital District Garden and Flower Show and will be held March 23 to 25 at Hudson Valley Community College. I hope to go. From their photos and write-up, I imagine it will be similar in size and scope to the Vermont Flower Show — which is now an every-other year show, and is not occurring this year.Bangor, Maine, has an annual flower show, though I’ve never attended. This year it will be held in the Alfond Arena in Orono, Maine, on April 20 to 22. If you go, please contact me so I’ll learn more about it.Last year I crossed one more item off my “Bucket List”. My partner Cindy Heath and I flew to London and attended the Chelsea Flower Show. It is in a league by itself, both in size and scope. Mostly outdoors, it includes displays with full-sized trees planted for the week. Under a big tent are displays of flowers of every ilk: hellebores, alliums, iris, narcissus, tulips, vegetables, carnivorous plants and much, much more. To see my article about the show and see a dozen photos, go to dailyuv.com/feed/905682.The Chelsea Show is held this year May 22 to 26. If you plan to go, join the Royal Horticulture Society to get reduced prices and access before the rest of the world (the first two days are just for RHS members). One member can bring in three guests. The Brits love their flowers, and know how to celebrate them. Bring a flowered dress or vest and bowtie, and walk around drinking champagne if you wish — many people do.I called my friend Jill Nooney of Bedrock Gardens in Lee, New Hampshire, to talk about the flower shows. Jill has exhibited at the Boston Show seven times, winning many awards for her garden designs. I asked her, why go to the flower shows? “Nobody can resist the smell of humid mulch-filled air in the middle of March,” she said. I agree. We all need that taste of spring before all the snow has gone.— Henry Homeyer’s blog appears twice a week at dailyuv.com/gardeningguy. Write to him at P.O. Box 364, Cornish Flat, NH 03746.

Late with the flowers - The Telegraph (blog)

In 1997, Richard Hyatt, a writer from Columbus, came to the Macon office of Mercer University Press. He was editing his book “Zell: The Governor Who Gave Georgia HOPE.”Richard asked if I could help with some research. To show his appreciation, he later took me to lunch at The Grey Goose Players Club on Forsyth Road.Over a Gooseburger and fries, I picked Richard’s brain about the world of book writing. I told him I aspired to be a published author. I dreamed of having my name on the spine of a book. I wanted a Dewey Decimal number at the library.He leaned across the table.“Well, what are you waiting for?” he asked.Things then began happening so quickly my head was spinning. That afternoon, John Mitchell Sr., who was vice president at Mercer, contacted me to tell me to expect a call from Cecil Staton, the publisher at Mercer Press.By the end of the week, I was in Staton’s office discussing a book contract.Not long after that, Gov. Miller sent me a copy of his book, “Corps Values,” a collection of principles he had learned as a young recruit in the Marine Corps.At the front of the book, he inscribed these words: “To Ed Grisamore – A ‘Real’ Writer. I wish I could weave words like you do. Good luck with your book. Your friend, Zell Miller.”I now have published nine books, and maybe one day I will write another. But I might never have gotten the kick-start I needed had it not been for those kind words of affirmation.Another turning point came when I heard Miller speak at a Georgia Press Association luncheon in Atlanta during the General Assembly.He spoke about the importance of being punctual. He said in all his years as governor he had never been late to a meeting.That made a tremendous impression on me, si... http://www.macon.com/news/local/news-columns-blogs/ed-grisamore/article208186804.html
