Washington court rules against florist in gay wedding case - Albuquerque Journal
Sunday, February 28, 2021Freedom of speech and religion aren’t subject to the whim of a majority; they are constitutional guarantees.”It’s one of several lawsuits around the country — including some involving bakers — about whether businesses can refuse to provide services over causes they disagree with, or whether they must serve everyone equally.A Colorado case involving a baker who would not make a wedding cake for a same-sex couple is pending before the U.S. Supreme Court, according to Lambda Legal. In 2014, the court declined to hear an appeal of a case out of New Mexico that went against a photographer who denied a same-sex couple service.Gov. Jay Inslee lauded Thursday’s ruling, saying it was “in favor of equality for all Washingtonians.”“By ruling that intolerance based on sexual orientation is unlawful, the Court affirmed that Washington state will remain a place where no one can be discriminated against because of who they love,” Inslee said in a written statement.Stutzman had previously sold the couple flowers and knew they were gay. However, Stutzman told them that she couldn’t provide flowers for their wedding because same-sex marriage was incompatible with her Christian beliefs.Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson and the couple sued her, saying she broke state anti-discrimination and consumer protection laws, and the lower court agreed. The state’s nine high court justices upheld that verdict.The court rejected several arguments put forth by Stutzman, including the assertion that since other florists were willing to serve the couple, no harm occurred.“As every other court to address the question has concluded, public accommodations laws do not simply guarantee access to goods or services. Instead, they serve a broader societal purpose: eradicating barriers to the equal treatment of all citizens in the commercial marketplace,” the court wrote. “Were we to carve out a patchwork of exceptions for ostensibly justified discrimination, that purpose would be fatally undermined.”The case thrust the great-grandmother into the national spotlight and she testified before state lawmakers in Indiana and Kansas.Michael Scott, a Seattle attorney who worked with the American Civil Liberties Union to represent Robert Ingersoll and Curt Freed — the couple denied the flowers — had previously told justices he didn’t believe Stutzman’s floral creations constituted speech. By providing flowers for a same-sex marriage, he argued, “she’s not endorsing same-se... https://www.abqjournal.com/951260/washington-court-rules-against-florist-in-gay-wedding-case.html
Part & Parcel: Kara Hammett - Canton Repository
Sunday, February 28, 2021Dylan Foster, now 21, Ronald Foster, 17, and Nolan Foster, 14. She returned to West Point Market in 2007 after her then-husband was laid off from his job.“They put me in the bakery,” she recalls. “I was a supervisor there, and my boss said, ‘We need some help decorating cookies. You want to try?’ I said, ‘Yeah, I’ll try.’ She told me years later that, ‘I saw something that I wanted to help you cultivate.’ ”Hammett quickly found her love of the arts, particularly pottery, served as a good foundation for cake decorating.“The turntable for the cake is similar to the turntable for the potter’s wheel,” Hammett said. “The movements and gestures and coordination were already there. So it was an easy transition for me to do cakes.” By 2009, Hammett said she was “sucked in” and committed to making cake decorating her career. “I love to cook and I love food, so being able to do edible art was incredible,” she said.West Point Market also is where Hammett met her best friend, Brittany Bergquist. Bergquist started working at West Point Market’s bakery in 2011.“She’s the most talented baker I’ve ever met,” Hammett said.When West Point Market’s West Market Street location closed in 2015, Hammett and Bergquist went to work at different bakeries but still remained close friends.It was Hammett who approached Bergquist about opening their own bakery. “There’s no way I could open a bakery without you,” Hammett recalls telling Bergquist.Bergquist was reluctant but eventually warmed to the idea th... https://www.cantonrep.com/story/lifestyle/food/2021/02/09/studio-bakery-co-owner-kara-hammett-shares-her-local-favorites/4074529001/
Especially Yours Florist to Celebrate 20 Years in Kenilworth - TAPinto.net
Sunday, February 28, 2021Since that day this local florist shop has been a staple in the Kenilworth community creating flower arrangements and floral gifts for numerous occasions and celebrations. Owner Cindy Baker Southern spoke to TAPinto Kenilworth to tell her story how it all began.Starting a business 20 years ago was the scariest thing I have ever done. Not sure of what would be ahead of me, I was positive I would give it my all. My first year open brought challenges I did not expect. My sister Jaye Shear found out she had breast cancer and would leave working with me. I hired a driver, Sharon Iscaro to help out, and nineteen years later we are still together. She became shop help, a designer, and my friend. We went through the tragedy of 9-11, and helped raise money for the first responders, and then we had a fire in the front of the shop! Having gone through a tough first year, I realize none of it mattered if we didn’t give back. We support school and town fundraising, we collect toiletries for the veterans, we have helped the people directly impacted by Hurricane Sandy, and we help support the Giving Box at Overlook Hospital Cancer Center. We have sent roses to the Cancer center to hand out to th... https://www.tapinto.net/articles/especially-yours-florist-to-celebrate-20-years-in-kenilworth

Flowers and Home Décor on Nucleus Avenue - Flathead Beacon
Wednesday, December 02, 2020Within two weeks of her move to the East Coast, her mother was diagnosed with stage four stomach cancer. Kavanagh and her husband returned home to Montana following her mother’s death in 2019, and she lost her father shortly after. In the wake of her parents’ deaths, she switched gears and opened Rose Petal Floral and Supplies in Cut Bank, her husband’s hometown. “I lost both of my parents within a year of each other and just felt like I always wanted to start my own business,” she said. “I helped other people bring their businesses to communities with marketing and I felt like if I was going to do it, now is the time.” In September, Kavanagh purchased the former Glacier Wallflowers business in Columbia Falls and opened the second Rose Petal location in the former Yoga Hive on Nucleus Avenue. Now with locations on the east and west sides of Glacier National Park, she’s featuring local retailers and florists as well as exotic plants that wouldn’t normally be found in rural areas. “Our goal is always to bring things to communities like Columbia Falls and Cut Bank that have more of an urban feel to them — brands you wouldn’t normally see in Montana — and then we try to do the same thing with our flowers,” K... https://flatheadbeacon.com/2020/12/02/flowers-home-decor-nucleus-avenue/

Wednesday, December 02, 2020STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- The president of a Bulls Head business says she is frightened after a worker had a face-to-face encounter with an intruder in the second burglary at the shop this summer.Dana Montana of Grapevine and Florist on Richmond Avenue said she had just left the store at around 7 p.m. on Monday when an unidentified man entered the shop.Montana’s manger was still in the store, however, and saw the man on the security cameras.A video shared with the Advance/SILive.com shows a man wearing a gray hoodie, gloves and a face covering with an American flag on it taking money from the cash register.The video shows the man rummaging through the register and putting what looks like cash in his pocket.Not knowing if the intruder was armed, the manager “walks slowly and closes the door” that separated him from the suspect, Montana said.This closed off the intruder’s exit, trapping him in the shop.Shortly after, a brief interaction between the manager, who was holding the door and could not call 911, and the masked man begins, Montana said.“I’ll give it back.
