Floral shops deal with tariff challenges

TANNERSVILLE, MONROE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — Florists are seeing price increases tied to tariffs, and with Mother's Day this weekend, shoppers may get sticker shock. 28/22 News stopped by one flower shop in Monroe County to find out how they are handling the higher price tag. With her newborn daughter strapped to her chest, Ally Gouny works around the clock to fulfill orders inside her shop, Imaginations, Florals & More by Ally. “Prom always tends to fall on Mother’s Day (Weekend), so it gets quite hectic in here,” said Gouny. The busy time of year sends customers to floral shops nationwide, but many like this one in Tannersville are also seeing an uptick in costs.

A new cat color discovered!

Every cat owner will claim their fur-baby has a personality based on the color of their fur. Your cat pushed a vase off the counter? That’s your fault for getting a black cat. Your orange cat bit your leg while playing? That checks out. While research has proven coat color doesn’t actually affect the animals personality, according to Popular Mechanics a new cat color has defied all genetic expectations. The new cat color, salmiak  or salty liquorice, is a stunning black, white, and gray. It’s a black strand that grows whiter and whiter towards the tip. “At first glance it looks like a ghastly skeleton, but after further inspection it is a cute cat that has a unique fur pattern,” expressed English teacher, Ashley Krause. “I would definitely adopt a cat that looked like this.”
