I heard one current member of the City Council (Pilar Turner) this morning complaining that Crestlawn Cemetery is being included in a “package” to be added to our City charter……but since she is a new-comer, I suppose it doesn’t make any difference to her that many of the founding families are laid to rest there. I’m not sure what she had in mind for it, but I doubt it would benefit us residents in the future. It is interesting to read, once more, about the birth of our city – how it has evolved. I, too, thank Milt Thomas. Isn’t it ironic the current library is next to the first Vero library–Women’s Club? – Cathy Katrovitz

I heard Commissioner Turner on WTTB todsy and she said that the cemetary is a part of the “Enterprise Zone.” This makes no sense. When, where and how did a cemetary come to be considered as a part of an “Enterprise Zone.”
Councilwoman Turner either said or meant to say, “enterprise fund.” Like the airport, marina, water & sewer utility, electric utility and solid waste service, the municipal cemetery is operated as an enterprise fund. Somehow, Turner thinks it is nefarious to include the cemetery in a list of parks, all public lands to be protected from sale or lease without voter approval.
