She said the change was from people thinking that being older meant all you could do was sit in a rocking chair and wait for death. But now the mindset is about being very healthy for older people. “Seventy is the new 50, and people are healthy, busy and staying stronger a lot longer,” she said. “What we set out to do when we built (the Lifestyle Enrichment Center) was to change the image of aging.” Freeman said now common topics of conversation with clients, who are in the so-called third-third of their lives, concern their travels, staying healthy, exercising and enjoying themselves. Freeman said Columbia County Senior Services and the Lifestyle Enrichment Center have had a huge impact on her life, as well as the lives of the agency’s clientele. “Every day that’s the joy of my job, I get to see the results of what we do,” Freeman said. The Lifestyle Enrichment Center has a Dementia Day Care Unit and Freeman can often be found there sharing laughs with the clients as well as participating in activities with them, as well as the other seniors throughout the building. “I stop in and see my staff and stop in just about all the rooms and visit with people, because that’s really my payback — seeing what they do,” she said.

OAKLAND, Calif. — Just a few weeks ago it looked as if the final regular-season game in Oakland could be an important one in the playoff chase for the Raiders and Jacksonville. Recent slumps by both teams have ended all that talk, leaving the farewell to the Coliseum as the only meaningful story line when the Raiders (6-7) host the Jaguars (4-9) on Sunday in their final home game before moving to Las Vegas next season. “It’s hard right now to really think about what it’s Photos by THOMAS RICKS/Special to the Reporter going to be like stepping in Columbia guard Tray Tolliver pushes the ball up the floor against Fort White on Friday. there for the last time ever,” Raiders coach Jon Gruden said. “The last time of the Columbia routs Fort White season is one thing, the last time ever really hits a tone 71-40 in their county rivalry with me and I’m sure a lot of people.” By ZACH ABOLVERDI sively.

December 14–20, 2019 www.lakecityreporter.com Section C Cutting hair for more than 200 years Family of barbers a mainstay in Jacksonville.

By MATT SOERGEL The Florida Times-Union

JACKSONVILLE — Back in 1958, Don Lowe started it all, this more than 200-year legacy of barbering in Jacksonville. After his time with the Navy at Cecil Field down in Florida, he was back home in Big Rapids, Mich., where he did some factory jobs, then got himself a dump truck to do work on roads. His younger brother Glen picks up the story: The truck was bro- ken down, again, and Don, in frus- tration, said he was going back to Florida, to barbering school, on the GI Bill. That sounded good to Glen, a fresh 1958 grad of Big Rapids High. “Wait until I sell my car and I’ll go with you,” he told his brother. That wasn’t all: A friend, Bob McCracken, joined the brothers. They all went south, and all WILL DICKEY/Florida Times-Union/TNS became Jacksonville barbers. The Lowe brothers, from left, Glen, Don and Cal pose with Cal’s daughter Gennifer Wright at Cal’s Barber Shop last month in Jacksonville.
