Richland florist case gets friends-of-the-court support | Tri-City Herald - Tri-City Herald

Briefs also were filed with the Supreme Court by 14 states or their governors. They include Arkansas, Alabama, Arizona, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Nebraska, Nevada, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, West Virginia and Wisconsin.Among the groups that filed friend-of-the court briefs were the Cato Institute, Becket Fund for Religious Freedom, the Restoring Religious Freedom Project and the Thomas More Society.Stutzman and her corporation were sued by Washington state’s attorney general, Bob Ferguson, and the American Civil Liberties Union, on behalf of Robert Ingersoll and Curt Freed, who were refused flower arrangements for their wedding.Stutzman, a Southern Baptist, said she declined her services not because of Robert Ingersoll and Curt Freed’s sexual orientation, but because of her religious views on marriage. She argued that arranging flowers is artistic expression protected under the First Amendment.“As a Christian, weddings have a particular significance,” she wrote in an op-ed for The Seattle Times. “I just couldn’t see a way clear in my heart to honor God with the talents He has given me by going against the word He has given us.”But the state Supreme Court justices affirmed the 2015 ruling in Benton County Superior Court. They unanimously agreed that the owner of Arlene’s Flowers violated Washington’s anti-discrimination law and the Consumer Protection Act by declining to provide services based on sexual orientation.If the U.S. Supreme Court agrees to hear the florist’s case, friends-of-the-court briefs also are likely to be filed in support of the couple denied service. Many briefs were filed supporting the couple and the state of Washington when the case went to the state Supreme Court.“Religious freedom is a fundamental part of America,” said Kathleen Taylor, executive director of ACLU of Washington. “But religious beliefs do not give any of us a right to ignore the law or to harm others because of who they are.”When people experience discrimination, they feel they are not full and equal members of our society, she said. http://www.tri-cityherald.com/news/local/article169702567.html

Former local florist dies after heart attack | Local News ... - Fremont Tribune

Lord together—that’s everything.”Longtime area residents, the Storks retired in August 2016 and closed their flower shop in Fremont after 39 years in the floral business.They moved to Nevada to be closer to family.During their time in Nebraska, the Storks had become internationally known for their knowledge of African violets which they grew. They gave lectures at violet societies in Hong Kong and Russia and published a book, “You CAN grow African Violets,” which later was translated into Russian.Yet Kent Stork’s interest in acting began to take root even before he started in the floral business.Originally from Arlington, Kent Stork met his future wife, Joyce, who’s from Gering, at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. They married in 1970 and were teachers. He taught high school English and speech and directed plays in Lexington for a year before they moved to Lincoln, where he worked in a flower shop.In 1974, he began working at Miles Fremont Greenhouse and Storks opened their own shop in Arlington in 1977. They opened a second shop in Fremont in 1990 and ran both until she had back surgery. The Storks then closed the Arlington shop and moved the entire operation to Fremont.As florists, the Storks created arrangements for weddings, funerals and other occasions. Teens came to the shop to buy corsages for their dates. Joyce Stork said her husband was motivated to make the best — better.“He didn’t just want to make a beautiful arrangement; he wanted it to be a work of art. It was never just an order for him,” she said.Visitors to the store also came to know the Storks’ dogs, like Charlie the dachshund, and more recently, Apollo, the Boston terrier, who playfully greeted joyous customers or comforted those grieving the loss of loved ones.In 2014, Stork had an opportunity to pursue his interest in acting when he played the part of the superintendent in the lively musical, “The Drowsy Chaperone,” at the Omaha Community Playhouse. He would get more roles.And as time passed, the Storks prepared for retirement.“Once we hit 65, Kent finally knew we needed to be thinking seriously about the retirement and closing the store,” she said.Their new vocation would be as grandparents in Henderson, where their oldest son Zach and his family live.“That was really my dream, because he had such a wonderful theater community at the Omaha Community Play... http://fremonttribune.com/news/local/former-local-florist-dies-after-heart-attack/article_e8839306-6bfd-5087-b0aa-3945cccc2a44.html

Family Chuckle: Bright flowers, brighter memories on Memorial Day - Yakima Herald-Republic

Day is the time I physically remember my Mom and Dad. Of course, I emotionally remember them all year long, but Memorial Day is the time to put flowers on graves.So I call the florist shop in Nevada, Mo., the little town where I was born and where they are buried. If I’m lucky I get an old-timer, sometimes even the one whose grandparents were friends of my parents. She knows which cemetery the flowers are to be delivered to, and what I want: lots of bright flowers in a bouquet for Mom and Dad’s double gravestone. As I picture how it will look, I remember the parents of my childhood.Mom was feisty and hot-tempered. Although she had been dominated all her life, first by a selfish father and then by Dad, who was of the opinion that a woman’s place was in the home — and she’d better have dinner ready when he got home from work — she still could be pushed only so far. We kids sat at the breakfast table in horrified suspense the time she hurled a cast-iron frying pan full of scrambled eggs at Dad’s head. He ducked, and the pan made a hole in the wall behind him. Our fears were relieved when he burst into laughter.Dad handled anger differently. He became icy and remote, and excelled... http://www.yakimaherald.com/lifestyle/family-chuckle-bright-flowers-brighter-memories-on-memorial-day/article_d684a062-432f-11e7-955c-b3e2780c72da.html

Mark says he plans to stay involved as an advisor.Pacific Empire Chorus takes second place in Sparks, Nevada: Petaluma’s own barbershop-style all-female Pacific Empire Chorus attended the 42nd annual Sweet Adelines regional competition in Nevada earlier this month. They returned home with the second place prize, having competed against nineteen other choruses from within the Pacific Shores Region, which encompasses Central and Northern California, Hawaii and Southern Oregon.

According to a report distributed by Lily’s Legacy, older dogs and cats, or animals considered to have special needs,” are often put down without there having been much effort made to find appropriate homes for them.
