But as such it requires constant attention, or in Jefferson’s words, “eternal vigilance.” That means year-round care and then some.

The theme was, “Bloom where you are Planted.” Entertainment was provided by White Springs School board member Johnny Bullard, Southside Idol’s 2018 winner Brittany Powell, and models showcasing a variety of clothing from Haven Hospice of Lake City. The keynote presentation was delivered by Brenda Gipson. Gipson used four plant types, a rose, a hibis- cus, sago palm and lantana to encourage women to make genuine connections with others, be supportive, and bloom where you are planted.

GREEN BAY, Wis. — The Green Bay Packers have signed tight end Marcedes Lewis, adding another veteran to back up Jimmy Graham.

Lance Kendricks was the only other tight end with extensive experience on the roster. The tight end position can be productive on a Packers offense that figures to bounce back in 2018 with a healthy Aaron Rodgers returning at quarterback. “Well the tight end position in this offense is difficult. I think that goes understated, frankly,” coach Mike McCarthy said this week. “The vol- ume of responsibility is significant.” General manager Brian Gutenkunst also announced several front office promotions and assignments on Friday.

For the past three decades, Frank Armijo has risked life and limb on a daily basis as a firefighter. In less than two months all that will come to an end. After working more than 33 years as a Lake City firefighter, Armijo plans to retire July 1. Armijo, 53, started his career as a firefighter in Columbia County as a volunteer in 1982 with the Pinemount Volunteer Fire Department when he was a teenager. He began working for the Lake City Fire Department in 1985. Armijo served as the Lake City Fire Department assistant fire chief from 2006-2013 and he’s been the fire chief since 2013. “You know when it’s time to retire and it’s just time to enjoy my life while I’m still TONY BRITT/Lake City Reporter young,” he said. “I’m blessed that I can retire at my age from the fire service while ‘I’m going to I’m still young.” Eligible to retire as a miss working firefighter last year, Armijo with decided to continue to work for another year. members of “I’m going to miss helping the citizens of the city the re and county when I retire,” department.’ he said. “I’m going to miss working with members of the fire department.” During his tenure as a Armijo moved to Lake City local firefighter, Armijo has in 1971 from Los Angeles, seen improvements in the Calif., as a youngster.
