With Bryan Clauson in mind, Zeb Wise wins the second BC 39 - Indianapolis Star

Tyler Kraft Indianapolis Star Published 9:49 AM EDT Sep 6, 2019 In between photos, Zeb Wise bent his head and took a deep breath.  The 16-year-old gripped the Driven2SaveLives BC 39 trophy as another wave of family, friends and team members swarmed the stage in the middle of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway dirt track. Then he was back again, smiling with a wreath of red flowers around his neck and a check for $15,000 in hand. This race means more to Wise than most. It's as easy to see as the No. 39BC stamped to th... https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/motor/2019/09/06/bryan-clauson-mind-zeb-wise-wins-second-bc-39/2064565001/

Pumas duo score 22 points in victory over Flowers in Summer Madness play - The Prince George's Sentinel

Flowers HS and Wise HS in Largo, Maryland. Photos by Chris Thompkins/Prince Georges SentinelAccording to the transfer, he already has two scholarship offers from Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) and Rhode Island University with other schools expressing interest. However, Thomas said he does not allow it to get to his head and is focused on finding ways to get to bond his new teammates.“I just like to play,” said Thomas. “But I try to find a way to bond with the team off the court, like we got group chats, FaceTime each other, and we play video games together. Just the little things like that help. I like my teammates and my coaching staff, they let me hoop and that’s all I really have to do.”The second half featured much of the same rhythm with Wise taking charge. Frager continued to orchestrate the offense, pushing the ball in transition for easy buckets and made big defensive plays of his end.Meanwhile, Flowers attempted a comeback but Brooks could not convert many of his shots during the second half. Jase Mosley, a rising sophomore for the Jaguars, tried to carry the load with two 3-pointers late in the contest, finishing with 10 points.Unfortunately, the Pumas’ lead was too much for their 4A rivals to handle during their summer league encounter.After finishing their first season with Head Coach Lou Wilson with 17 wins, the Pumas will be looking to surpass their third round exit in the state playoffs and become a contender in the 4A division.“I think we have the potential to be a real solid ball club,” said DeBerry. “I think a lot is going to depend on how we progress from this point going forward. The season is a long way ahead, a lot of things can happen, good or bad but I like where we are right now as a team.” Post Views: 264 ... https://pgs.thesentinel.com/2019/06/19/pumas-duo-score-22-points-in-victory-over-flowers-in-summer-madness-play/

Richard Rico | Flora, & a perfect fit - Vacaville Reporter

THE 63-year flower cottage next to McCune Garden Chapel on Main St. is in full bloom again. Stems made it happen. After 9 years on Merchant Street, owner Caryn Mikich uprooted Stems Florist to go downtown, taking her flora and her 8 creative makers of bouquets, nosegays and rose sprays with her. The new Stems opened Jan. 21. “I always wanted to be downtown,” Caryn said in her budding shop, “but didn’t want to overcrowd the floral field.” But it’s clear now that this is where she should be. It’s in her DNA. “My family was always into gardening; we didn’t own a shop, but flowers were in our lives.” As fate would have it, Caryn worked six years for former Rose Florist owner, Janet Lopez Balcom, who retired a year ago after 62 years of Lopez ownership. Caryn has a history of decorating lives, events and nonprofits all over the city and county. Floral touches on the Merriment on Main stage were her gift.The cottage was built in 1938 by Del and Elizabeth McCune as their home the same year they bought the funeral home. They moved out in 1956, converting it to a flower shop operated by John and Rose Lopez. Barbara McCune owns the cottage and the funeral home. “I have really good vibes about the move,” Caryn said, a feeling shared by her daughter, Amanda. Does she like the florist world? “I love it!” she said. She’s a mom to Sadie, 11 and Cason, 7. Caryn’s dad, Mike, is in the pipeline industry. A grand opening is in the works, perfect time to meet Caryn, visit Stems, and chat with shop greeter, Gracie, a yellow-headed Amazon parrot. I’d like to check her DNA against Gracie, our golden pup. They might be related.The author is former publisher of The Reporter. https://www.thereporter.com/richard-rico-flora-a-perfect-fit

Flowers of Point Loma at 2170 Chatsworth Blvd. is celebrating 35 years. The full-service florist shop now owned by Penn Bryan has lasted 35 years in Point Loma by customizing its business to meet its customers’ needs.“We were looking to find a flower stand to start out, and saw that the flower shop on the corner was up for sale,” said Bryan of how she and her husband acquired the business, Flowers of Point Loma, now at 2170 Chatsworth Blvd., from a retiring brother-sister team who’d had it since 1985.“I found my niche doing things that people wanted,” noted Bryan. “No other flower shops do what we do here.”The previous owners stayed with the Bryans for a year to help transition them into the floral business. That was good, added Penn, pointing out she had no previous experience with flowers.“I wanted to have kids and take them where I work,” Bryan said. “My daughter grew up in this flower shop.”Bryan fulfills her customer’s expectations, whatever they are. “They can make up their own bouquets or we can make it for them,” she said. “We’ve been here so long and people k... http://www.sdnews.com/view/full_story/27692651/article-Flowers-of-Point-Loma-still-blooms-after-35-years--?instance=business

Barronelle Stutzman, Christian florist, again appeals to Supreme Court over same-sex wedding refusal - Washington Times

A Christian florist who refused to participate in a same-sex wedding has again requested that the Supreme Court take her case, filing a new petition Wednesday. Washington state’s Supreme Court ruled against Barronelle Stutzman in June after the high court previously remanded her case for further review following its decision in a 2018 case, ruling for a Christian baker that had also refused to create a cake for a same-sex wedding. In the baker’s case, the justices said the state’s civil rights commission showed religious hostility towards the cake maker, but the high court punted on squarely settling the First Amendment conflict. https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/sep/11/barronelle-stutzman-christian-florist-again-appeal/

Muncie Origins: Normandy Flower Shop continues family florist tradition - Ball State Daily News

Judy Benken, owner of Normandy Flower Shop, can be found in this room taking orders, making flower arrangements and calling suppliers. As a third-generation florist, Benken isn’t new to the flower business. She said she grew up in her father’s flower shop because it was attached to their house, and “there wasn’t any getting away from it.”  “I probably started working when I was around 12 [doing simple little things],” Benken said. “When I started [delivering flowers] after school, I was 16.”After Benken moved from Muncie to Ohio with her husband, she said, she thought she had left the flower business behind her. However, once the holidays rolled around, Benken said, she found herself working for a flower shop in Ohio because she missed the “chaos and crazy” of the season.  Although Benken and her husband started their family in Ohio, they wanted their children to grow up in Muncie. In 1982, the Normandy Flower Shop, which was established in downtown Muncie in the 1940s, came up for sale. The Benkens decided to make the shop their own.“It was the [floral] business that I knew,” Benken said. “I wasn’t making much of a living working for other people. It was [my husband’s] idea to buy the flower shop. I just wanted to come home.”At the time she opened N... https://www.ballstatedaily.com/article/2020/02/daily-lifestyles-normandy-flower-shop
