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. Airplanes used to be called aeroplanes, but that term isn’t making a comeback anytime soon.A dispensary's garden of "flower."Lindsey BartlettDear Stoner: A friend got busted for growing pot in his back yard, which was surrounded by a very high vegetable wall and was not visible from the outside. 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. If it did indeed fit those requirements, then tell your friend to lawyer up and fight!Send questions to marijuana@westword.com or call our potline at 303-293-2222. http://www.westword.com/marijuana/ask-a-stoner-why-are-marijuana-buds-called-flower-8392054

Vernon Downs: Flowers N Songs uses stretch rally to take Zweig Filly Trot - Daily Racing Form

Royalty (Tim Tetrick) left out from the outside post nine and got to the opening quarter in 27 3/5.  Swinging Royalty was challenged on the outside in the second quarter by Earn Your Wings (Jason Bartlett), and Earn Your Wings became the new leader before the 56 1/5 half.Earn Your Wings remained the boss at the 1:25 three-quarters, but favored Womans Will (Andy Miller) was first-over and just a length behind at that point.  Fad Finance (Jim Morrill Jr.) tracked her from second-over, and Flowers N Songs was positioned third-over.Womans Will forged her way past Earn Your Wings in the stretch, and looked to set sail for the wire, but Flowers N Songs came wide for the drive, and she would use a 28 second final panel to get up for the victory by a length and three-quarters over Womans Will.  Fad Finance would finish third."She's come along real well," said winning trainer Paul Reid.  "Rich Gillock brought her back for (owner Bob Key) in the wintertime at The Meadows, and he did a great job.  We've been fortunate enough to be able to race her this summer and been real happy with almost every start so far."I'll have to talk it over with Mr. Key.  We were looking to go to the Hambletonian Oaks, but we'll see.  After tonight's performance, I think she's earned her way there."Key also bred Flowers N Songs, a daughter of Deweycheatumnhowe.  Unraced as a 2-year-old, Flowers N Songs is now seven-for-16 this season with $206,553 in earnings.  She returned $18.40 for the upset win.There were also a pair of Zweig consolations... http://www.drf.com/news/vernon-downs-flowers-n-songs-uses-stretch-rally-take-zweig-filly-trot

Texas Florist Who Admitted to Being in Pelosi’s Office Wants Case Moved from D.C. Because of ‘Cancel Culture’ - Law & Crime

Washington, D.C. because of “cancel culture.” The defense for Texas florist Jenny Louise Cudd, who was on video happily admitting to being in the office of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, asserted authorities were creating the “illusion” of a conspiracy between her and Eliel Rosa by linking their cases.“According to the Government’s Statement of Facts, the two were seen on security footage walking into the building, walking around, and walking out,” attorney Marina Medvin said in a filing Wednesday. “There is no evidence of communications or a plan between the two to enter the Capitol. Instead, the evidence is purported to be that they were at the same place, at the same time, followed a crowd into the open doors of the Capitol building, then walked out. They didn’t take anything, they didn’t break anything.”Cudd was among rioters raiding the U.S. Capitol Building on Jan. 6, after then-President Donald Trump continued to lie that he actually won the 2020 presidential election. The invaders postponed but did not prevent Congress for counting electoral college votes weighing in favor of the real winner, Preside... https://lawandcrime.com/u-s-capitol-siege/texas-florist-who-admitted-to-being-in-pelosis-office-wants-case-moved-from-d-c-because-of-cancel-culture/
