PREP YEAR IN REVIEW: Boys Cross Country Runner of the Year Ben Flowers of Jersey - Alton Telegraph

The top seven finishers in the race were all from teams that did will not advance.Jersey’s team came within one place of advancing from the MacArthur Sectional meet, but finished sixth overall behind Mattoon. The top five teams in the sectional standings move on to the state meet. And while Flowers was happy with his individual win, he would have love his team to have advanced as well.“The team winning would feel a lot better than just me winning individually,” Flowers said after winning one of his many meet titles at the 50th annual Edwardsville Invitational at the tough SIUE course.At that Edwardsville meet early in the season, Flowers crossed the finish line more than 16 seconds ahead of the second-place finisher. Even though, he wasn’t all that enamored with the course.“Any course ranks better than this,” he said. “I don’t do well on hills.”Evidently he did better than he thought.Jersey coach Harold Landon said his top runner deserved his success after time he put in during the summer preceding cross country season.“He really worked hard in the off season,” Landon said of Flowers. “Ben put in 50 to 60 miles a week in the summer. He put in the work and he deserved everything he’s getting.”Flowers has set goals for next season, including the MVC team cross country championship, as well as getting on the awards platform at the state meet.“I just wanted to get on the medal podium,” Flowers said after fifth-place finish in the 16,000 at the state track meet. “There was a lot of competition there. I’m putting in a lot of work this summer.”That’s incentive enough for him.Ben Flowers of Jersey was a conference, regional and sectional cross country winner last season and is the Telegraph Boys Cross Country Runner of the Year.Report results via email to: [email protected]Please enable JavaScript to view the comments powered by Disqus. comments powered by DisqusRecommended article from FiveFilters.org: Most Labour MPs in the UK Are Revolting. http://thetelegraph.com/sports/85650/prep-year-in-review-boys-cross-country-runner-of-the-year-ben-flowers-of-jersey

Ham Lake couple trust God as they grow family flower farm business - The Catholic Spirit

The Carlstroms were thinking produce and chickens when, in the winter of 2019, Kristen came across a book titled “The Cut Flower Garden” by Erin Benzakein, a florist farmer in Washington.“Basically, I just fell in love with it,” Kristen said. “It was kind of out of the blue for me.”She had always kept a small flower garden with sunflowers and zinnias, but nothing large-scale. But once she began to think about flowers, she became convinced that was the direction she wanted to move.“I knew we were going to take on something really big,” she said. “It was really important for me to be really passionate about it. And so, this was something that just really took a hold of me. And I had so much energy with thinking of doing really hard stuff to make it happen.”She and Jonah took Benzakein’s online course on flower farming, and dove into researching what would grow well in Minnesota’s climate. “Before we knew it, we’re like, we’re really doing it,” she said.Jonah gives Kristen all the credit for the flower focus. “I never thought I would be a flower farmer — I don’t think many men do think of that,” Jonah said, sitting near the field. He agreed to the online course, “and I was just sort of open with the Lord; ‘Wherever you lead us.’”“Ever since leaving school, I wanted to do something in nature. I love working outside. I’ve been praying along the way” for God’s guidance, he said. “Basically, I want to come home and I want to work from home.”The Carlstroms don’t know any other young farmers, but they’re not alone among Catholic millennials. Jim Ennis, executive director of St. Paul-based Catholic Rural Life, said there are like-minded young Catholics across the United States who are exploring and adopting a rural lifestyle, including small-scale farming. Many are drawn to a slower, family-focused pace of life away from the demands of city living and corporate work.Like the Carlstroms, many don’t have farming backgrounds, Ennis said, and it’s hard work without the guarantee of financial sustainability. But it’s rewarding, he said. Farming is creative work, where people can work in nature, with their hands, alongside family members, for the benefit of their own tables and their community. And even young children can see, understand and participate in their parents’ work, he said.“There’s something very innate in many people’s DNA to connect with God’s creation in a closer way,” he said, “and I think that’s very Catholic and very Christian.”Kristen admits that sometimes she’s thought the idea of turning stay-at-home mom to cut-flower florist is “crazy.” But, “there was a lot of discouragement that came whenever I tried to let it (the idea) go, and a lot of joy that was there when we kept pursuing it,” she said, so they forged ahead.The field is easily accessible from the Carlstroms’ house through a path in the woods. Kristen spends patches of time throughout the day tending its 20, 100-foot rows as she learns to orchestrate timing their harvesting with flowers’ longevity onc... https://thecatholicspirit.com/news/local-news/ham-lake-couple-trust-god-as-they-grow-family-flower-farm-business/

Self-serve flower cart in North Vancouver delights neighbours - North Shore News

Vancouver resident has been bringing a little island charm to her quiet Lynn Valley street. With the assistance of an old cooler, some wood strips and ample bunches of beautiful flowers, gardener and florist Rachel Klausen has opened a tiny flower cart along Bermon Place. article continues below Trending Stories The hook: there’s no vendor or florist in sight. Instead, Klausen has opted for an honour-system model. Passersby are encouraged to grab a bouquet and either e-transfer her $10 or pop the cash into a paper bag next to the cart. Klausen says she was inspired to open the self-serve flower cart in front of her house after noticing how common this kind of makeshift commerce was in smaller communities around British Columbia, such as the Gulf Islands or some places on Vancouver Island. “We were driving by and there was this little cart and it just said, ‘Self-serve apricots,’” says Klausen, recalling a recent trip to Duncan. “I just thought it was so interesting. I’d never seen anything like that and then just driving around the island I saw them everywhere.” Klausen has been a florist for six years, but it wasn’t until this year that she was determined to start... https://www.nsnews.com/community/self-serve-flower-cart-in-north-vancouver-delights-neighbours-1.24179798
