Caledonia florist Mary Ann Schmitz is ready to retire after 65 years

I have to thank the people from places like Caledonia, Brownsville, Hokah, Houston, Spring Grove, Etizen, Freeburg and New Albin,” said Schmitz, who has three part-time employees. “They’ve all been very good to us. Without their help, we’d have never made it.” Schmitz said she always has loved flowers, and their smell. Pink roses are her favorites. “I like everything but sunflowers,” Schmitz said. “I’ll put them in (if asked), but I don’t like them because they tip their heads and look shabby.” Roses, carnations and lilies have been the shop’s biggest-selling flowers, Schmitz said. Mother’s Day is the shop’s busiest season, and Valentine’s Day is second. Besides cut flowers, Mary Ann’s Floral & Gift sells cemetery urns, plants, seeds, insecticides, fertilizer, other gardening supplies and party balloons. Schmitz still has the first item that her shop ever sold – a small ceramic planter in the shape of a woman. Her aunt, Tillie Ernster, bought the planter. “She always kept it on display in her house,” Schmitz said. “When she died (in 1968), her kids gave it to me.” Get news headlines sent daily to your inbox ...

Flowers does it again; O'Fallon wins team title

Saturday at Wilson Park in 15 minutes, 00.51 seconds. He was well ahead of second place finisher senior Chris Durr of Chatham Glenwood (15:24). Freeburg junior Charlie Parrish, who won the Metro East Invitational last weekend, was the next best area finisher coming in fourth (15:27). O'Fallon, which placed two in the top 10, was the overall team champion. Back to Flowers. The lanky senior led for about 95-percent of the race. "I got a really good start and tried to take the race at the beginning," Flowers said. "I wanted to control the race the whole time. I took control of it and cruised the rest of the way." Flowers had an inkling he would have a good day when he awoke and in preparations just before the race. "I felt really good all morning," Flowers said. "When I was warming up - I felt pretty good, and I told myself 'maybe I can take this race.' This one of the biggest races I've ever won. It's a pretty big accomplishment." While Flowers took off with a fury, he didn't have the fastest start of the 234 runners. "I'm not sure who was in front of me, but I didn't have the lead for the first 400 meters," Flowers said. "I was able to take it there." Senior Christopher Conrad was seventh overall for the Panthers with a time of 15:40.72, while sophomore Kyle Dismukes took 10th (15:45.91) to help them earn the team title. O'Fallon finished with 91 points, followed by Chatham Gl... (STLtoday.com)

Montrose falls in 4A quarterfinals

Indians battled back to even it at 13-13 and 15-15. The Cougars would go up two again, but a run that saw kills from Allie Freeburg, Micaiah Nichols and Lauren Peterson put Montrose back on top at 19-17. The Indians, unfortunately, would only manage one more point, and Evergreen finished on an 8-1 run to take the 25-20 win to force a tie-breaking set. And with the tie-breaker only going to 15, and momentum on their side, the Cougars early charge to a 6-1 lead proved too much for the Indians to overcome. They would make a valiant push, getting to within two at 12-10 and 14-12, but it was too little, too late as Evergreen finished off the 15-12 win to qualify for the Final Four. “They had five players who could really put the ball away and they were huge defensively with their blocking,” Forrest said. “We tried to get our middles involved, with Bryce (Gatt) and Micaiah (Nichols), but they kept getting blocked. They started hitting smarter and getting some points, but then their defense adjusted.” Evergreen’s run wouldn’t last must longer, as the Cougars would fall in three sets to top-seed Cheyenne Mountain by 25-14, 25-10 and 25-11 scores. In the other semifinal, defending champion Lewis-Palmer swept Ponderosa by scores of 25-21, 25-16 and 25-18 to set up an all Pikes Peak League championship match. For Montrose, Hill and Freeburg paced the offense with 16 and 15 kills, respectively, with Casebier handing out 36 assists. Hill, Adriana Flowers and Casebier went for 24, 21 and 19 digs, and Casebier, Hill, Peterson and Flowers all had a pair of service aces. Gatt and Peterson had four blocks each, with Nichols adding three. “There’s nothing to feel bad about, with the way we played,” Forrest said. “For example, in that fourth set when they came back and beat us, they earned 18 out of the 25 points, which is a huge percentage, and shows how good they are and how well we were playing. “It’s been a great year and I’m proud of what the girls were able to accomplish,” she continued. “We got everything we could out of them and they gave it everything they had.” Which was certainly good enough to rank them among the state’s elite.
