Florists' long history in city - Lethbridge Herald

Taylor was both a florist and a seed man. He had fresh-cut flowers, wedding bouquets and floral designs available in his shop on the corner of Bartlett and London Streets, or 12 Street and 7 Avenue South today.The Terrill Floral Company, which opened on 11 Street South, specialized in growing roses and carnations, as well as house and garden plants. Eventually they moved their storefront to 604 3 Ave. S. and maintained a greenhouse at 2015 6 Ave. N. The Frache brothers, who owned greenhouses at Henderson Park and on the north side of Lethbridge, bought the Terrill Floral Company in 1928. They eventually closed their operations in 1955. The 1930s saw a boom in flower shops, florists and greenhouses. The Marquis Flower Shop, originally established by the Medicine Hat Greenhouses with manager H. Coventry, was purchased by Fred Edmunson in 1938. The Marquis Flower Shop is still operating today, 79 years after it was established. It has moved storefront locations three times, from the first floor of the Marquis Hotel of 4 Avenue South, to 312 6 St. S., to its current home at 905 3 Ave. S.Lorna Perry was a clerk and assistant manager for the Marquis Flower Shop before opening her own shop, Lorna’s Flowers, in 1953 at 1508 9 Ave. S.

For love and for money, more seniors are staying employed - Midland Reporter-Telegram

Crater High student in the late 1950s."I was working at the Craterian Theater and the Medford Flower Shop on East Main," Williams said. "I was still working there when the flower shop moved to Bartlett in the late 1950s and early 1960s."After taking time off to have four children, Williams returned to the flower shop, earning $1.85 an hour."Then a friend told me about the Red Baron (former restaurant at the Medford airport)," she said. "After six months they told me they would pay $2.50 an hour; with tips, that was a no-brainer."After 11 years, she did management stints at K & D, Shenandoah and Colony Far East restaurants. Admittedly, she was ready for a change, she said. She jumped at the opportunity to return to the floral business at Corrine's Flowers & Gifts 30 years ago."I grew up here and my kids all grew up here," Williams said. "I love the flowers, and I know the people; that's what keeps me going."Longtime customers might be the only thing that hasn't changed for older workers. Just about every workplace has been revolutionized by technological advances and regulatory reforms since those 65 and older earned their first paycheck.Long ago, flowers sold locally were shipped over the Siskiyous on a Greyhound bus out of San Francisco."Now they come in from Ecuador and Colombia by FedEx air," Williams said. "The quality of the flowers is a lot nicer, and they last a lot longer."Clientele desires and demands have changed over the decades, too."Times got busier, people got busier," Williams said. "They do a lot more one-stop shopping, so our business had to come up with other ideas to get customers back."Funerals were a bread-and-butter income stream for florist shops in the 1950s and 1960s, she said. "But a lot of people don't have services now, so we have to come up with other ideas to sell flowers. We have to give them more options."Perhaps nothing has grown more byzantine and voluminous than the U.S. tax code over the past 40 years. Medford CPA Fred Johannsen has plied his trade since 1977."It's always been a challenging profession because of continual changes in tax laws and regulations, and everything that goes with it," said the longtime partner of Johannsen, Dye & Purkeypile CPAs. "You find your niche, and your expertise keeps you going. You try not to delve into areas you're not totally familiar with."Although computer programs and e-filing rule the present, a stash of sharpened pencils and a 10-key adding machine are always within reach.At 68, he could choose other pursuits, but Johannsen is comfortable in his domain. He sees other people his age, or older, continuing their work."It crossed my mind," Johannsen said. "Why are they still doing that? It could be need, enjoyment, health insurance, or a whole slew of things. Maybe they like to get out of the house in the morning."He's thought about slowing down, but retirement has yet to join his lexicon."I never put a time frame on when I went to work here," he said. "I didn't think about retiring or walking out the door when I was 65. I enjoy my profession, and keeping busy."Sometimes, it's not the business or profession, but the employer that keeps workers on the job.Sandy Hight raised two children while working for Safeway and Albertsons before turning her attention to caring for her mother, who was struggling with Alzheimer's disease. Hight returned to the grocery business at Shady Cove Market after moving to the Upper Rogue region. When Hight's supervisor, Tami Meerten, moved on to the Edgewater Inn on the banks of the Rogue River, Hight soon followed, handling the front desk and breakfast counter."I've been working with Tami for alm... http://www.mrt.com/news/article/For-love-and-for-money-more-seniors-are-staying-12242790.php

Ask a Stoner: Why Are Marijuana Buds Called "Flower"? - Westword

Besides, usage rules aren’t eternal, bro.

But the sheriff proceeded to confiscate weed and issue a summons to my friend. Something is not right here.Boris C.Dear Boris: If your friend’s grow wasn’t enclosed and locked, then it was illegal. All Colorado marijuana grows, indoor or outdoor, must be private and enclosed so that no one under the age of 21 can access them. I haven’t seen your friend’s vegetable walls, but I doubt they created a private area (four walls, a ceiling and a locked entry) as defined in, and required by, Amendment 64.

Calif. flower shop with no connection to Capitol riot flooded with threats, negative reviews - SFGate

Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office being broken into during the riot, reports the AP.  She also happens to be the proprietor of a florist called Becky’s Flowers in Midland, Texas — the source of the confusion for Aaron Alberti, who has owned and operated the Roseville Becky’s Flowers since 2004. Now, he’s trying to clear the air in order to save his business. “It’s been nonstop … we’ve just been flooded with messages,” he told SFGATE on Thursday afternoon. “One of our employees recently picked up the phone, and the person on the other line said, ‘Are you the bitch who stormed the Capitol?’ And she just said, ‘No, ma’am, we’re in California.’ And the person hung up on her. There’s no apology, no nothing.” At first, Alberti tried to delete the growing number of comments, which he found downright disturbing. “People have written things like, ‘I hope you get cancer,’ ‘I hope your shop burns down,’ ‘I hope you die,’ ‘I hope you rot in jail,’” he said. “And those are the polite ones.” Contrarily, Alberti added that the shop even received a love letter intended for Cudd from a firefighter living in Florida. “To be honest, they both concern me,” he said. In response to the harassment, Alberti notified the Roseville Police Department, which has been periodically sending out officers to check in on the shop. He also contacted Yelp, which he said acted quickly to remove the misguided comments, as well as Google, though he’s still awaiting a response. of this store since 1973.We are getting hate messages and bad reviews as a result.
