Climbing burial


costs in Newberry


By GABRIELA IZARRA
Today Reporter
NEWBERRY A city
ordinance raising. the price
of burial sites in the City of
Newberry Municipal Cemetery
was passed on first reading at the
last Newberry City Commission
meeting. There will be at least
one additional hearing on the
matter before any rate changes
are finalized.
There was also a discussion
about lowering the price of
internment, the actual burial


process.
The price of an individual
burial site for a Newberry
resident was raised from $200
to $300, while the internment
fee, currently at $450, may be
reduced to $400.
"They're willing to go up
on the price of the lot sites but
want to lower the burial fee,"
said Connie Goode, General
Services Administrator for the
City of Newberry. "Just don't
change nothing!" she said.

Familiar face, new store


GABRIELLAIZARRA/Alachua County Today
These days Sheila Srmith is working as a financial advisor out of her
Edward Jones office in Newberry.


By GABRIELA IZARRA
Today Reporter
NEWBERRY Though it's been
quite a few years since she worked at
Smart Mail Services in Alachua, you
might recognize the face of Sheila
Smith, who recently took over the
Edward Jones office in Newberry.
Smith's father, Dick Tudor, was
the owner of Smart Mail, where Smith
used to greet and assist customers.
"It was hard to leave because there
were a lot of lieople that I really got
close to -- regular customers and all,"
Smith said. "I get it every time I go
to Alachua for lunch or something:
'Didn't you used to work at Smart
Mail?"'
About three years ago, Smith
became the branch office administrator


at the Alachua branch of Edward Jones.
Once she decided to get a financial
advising license of her own, she went
directly into training.
Smith was born and raised in
Pennsylvania but has lived in Florida
for the last 17 years. She lives in
Trenton with her husband and four
children.
"I have a wonderful support system.
My father and my husband, they kick
in and help,'" she said. "I don't know
how I'd do it without them."
Edward Jones was ranked second
in Fortune Magazine's list of top 100-
companies for which to work.
As a financial adviser, Smith
works with her clients to plan their
retirements, manage their retirement
funds and prepare college funds. She


helps her clients plan and meet their
goals. She also helps with a variety of
insurance products and annuities.
Smith has clients from Tampa to
Pennsylvania, she said.
The financial adviser in the
Newberry branch left the company in
December, and Smith was asked to
take over the office until somebody else
becomes available. She will then be
opening her own office in Chiefland.
James Harrison, another former
owner of Smart Mail, has known Smith
since, she came to Fl9rida and never
thought she would end up where she is
now, he said.
"I think it's an ideal job for her to

! AsNewberry'sGeneral ServicesAdministrator,
one of Goode's responsibilities is to supervise
cemetery operations. She oversees the digging of
graves, which is done several times a month with
three workers and two pieces of equipment.
The city charges funeral homes a total of $650
for a burial. This 'includes $450 to open and close
the grave, a $100. one-time annual care fee, a $50
granite marker and another $50 to mark off the
gravesite.
The $650 in burial charges is in addition to
other fees associated with the funeral that are
passed on to the families and loved ones of the
deceased.
.The City Commission is waiting on
recommendations from the Cemetery Committee
on whether or not to go through with the price
reduction.
Most funeral homes are more than happy with
the prices, Goode said. "Our prices are already so
low."
Clients know the money from the/burial fees
goes back into thee city funds, she said. This
money is used to maintain the cemetery, keep up
the landscape and provide granite markers for
grave identification.

would like to see the city bury'people for cheaper,
he said.

absorb the cost of burying people."
When .the General Services Department
decided to take over the burial process about two
years ago, it "broke the badks" of funeral homes,
Conrad said. "That's why I support keeping the
cost at the absolute minimum."
"The churches and the Blessed Hope
Foundation always help when families can't
afford, to bury their deceased loved one," Goode
said. "I always make sure they have a wonderful
burial."
CommissionerAlenaLawson,thecommission's
liaison to the cemetery committee, said she was
willing to compromise with Conrad by lowering
Sthe burial fee by $50. Conrad, however, wanted
the burial costs to be lowered by $150.
"The City is not making anything off of these
fees," Lawson said. "We provide a great service
for our residents and the fees collected are used to
maintain and improve the grounds."
For city residents, burial plots are $300 each
but if a resident purchases three burial plots, they
are given a fourth plot at no charge.

ontinedfrompageAl City to ask for stimulus funds


discontinued when its two-year trial run
expired, city officials have compiled three
options to revive the program.
Last summer, City Manager Clovis Watson,
Jr. asked First Transit, a firm specializing in
transit consulting, to conduct a service review
and improvement plan for CATS, and the
firm recently returned its suggestions to city
officials.
Assistant City Manager Danielle Judd
wrote in a summary to city officials that the
options for the program took a while to create,
but they are a good, detailed guide for future
actions.
"While the report has been a long time in
the making, we believe it is a comprehensive
analysis and blueprint to guide us," she wrote.
Under the new options, the program will
focus on transportation within Alachua rather
than transportation between Alachua and
Gainesville, City Manager Watson said.
The plans will create a loop throughout the
city, but not all of the original stops will be
included in the route at least initially.
If the program is successful, city officials
plan to add connector routes to other parts of
the city and possibly to Gainesville.
Officials plan to focus on the core of the city
at first, which may leave Progress Corporate
Park employees out of luck. However, once
the Santa Fe College (SFC) branch opens in
August, officials might reconsider a route to
the area, he said.


Watson said a full system would be too
expensive to fund all at once, so the plans
include the option to operate solely during
peak travel hours such as morning and evening
rush hours. "
The city has $40,000 budgeted for the
operation of CATS in 2009, and city officials
will look for other funding partners in the
future.
Officials are hoping to capitalize on
Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT)
grants as well as funds from President Barack
Obama's controversial $787 billion stimulus
package.
CATS started as a two-year pilot program
on Sept. 12, 2006. The system was created
to match job seekers with prospective
employers in the city of Alachua and to help
elderly citizens get to medical appointments
in Gainesville. The transit system was also
designed to take traffic off ofU.S. Hwy 441.
The bus system was originally funded by
an FDOT grant, but when the grant ended
in September 2008, city officials decided to
continue the service until November 2008.
Watson stressed that although the system
was discontinued while plans were hammered
out, the system has a bright future ahead,
especially as the city continues to gain
employees through planned stores such as
Wal-Mart and the soon-to-open Lowe's.
"CATS is not dead," Watson said.

long as 13 hours each day through thick brush by
determined workers.
"I'm an avid outdoorsman, but this was the
thickest terrain I had been through," Maynard said.
"Some places required a machete and a lot of patience
because it would take 20 minutes to go 10 feet."
The joint efforts of Putnam County and Alachua
County employees reached close to 200 people,
according to Maynard. Although Alachua County
employees were swift to help in Putnam County's
search, there will not be an official investigation for
Cummings in Alachua County unless there is a tip
locally.
As well as the ground searchers offered up by
Alachua County, local dive and aviation teams are
also ready to lend their services but will be on hold


until called upon to prevent draining the resources,
Maynard said. In other emergencies like hurricanes,
surrounding areas often push assistance on those
in need, but exhaust their personal and financial
assistance at the same time, he added.
For now, the ground search for the missing girl
is complete, but officials are prepared and willing to
conduct a long-term investigation.
"Every time we thought 'gosh I'm tired,' our own
kids flashed into our minds, and there was no griping
or complaining in the search," Maynard said. "We
all talked about it and simply didn't have a right to
complain because we are all going home tonight and
know where our kids are sleeping. We can't say that
for this family."

Harrison said. "People won't get a more honest
person to help them with their finances than Sheila."
Working with Edward Jones has not compromised
Smith's faith. She handles her responsibilities both at
work and at home, and she has remained a practicing
Christian.
"I'll never be put in a position where I have
to choose between my morals and my ethics as a
Christian, and company policy," she said. "They just
perfectly dovetail."
As a financial adviser in harsh economic times,


Smith recommends strategies to her clients to help
soften the impact of the weakened economy.
"We're all concerned and even frustrated with
the market right now, and the economy, and people
are seeing their kids' college funds struggle, their
retirement funds struggle," she said. "It's important
that they know there are things they can be doing
right now to minimize these losses."
As she once did at Smart Mail in Alachua and is
now doing at Edward Jones, Smith is just trying to
help.

High Springs sewer project



on track City working to cover everyone


By TRACEY MCMANUS
Today Reporter
HIGH SPRINGS The High Springs
wastewater improvement project is moving
steadily forward with the installation of the
city's first sewer system, but the future of the
"tweenies," or the houses built after the initial
funding contract with the federal government, are
still in question.
The city is in the midst of phases two and
three of the five phase project and plans to begin
the last two phases by December. However,
houses built after the 1998 contract with the
United States Department of Agriculture Rural
Development (USDA) will not be included in the
project unless there are funds left over.
High Springs initially qualified for loans from
the USDA to install the sewer system because
the high levels of nitrogen released into the

The robber fled on foot after
leaving the station, but he may
have gotten into a vehicle soon
later, Barcia said.
Officers were at the gas
station investigating the incident
until almost 4 a.m. Wednesday
morning.
Police have several leads
in the case, but they are. not
disclosing suspects until the


ground water from outdated septic tanks were
dangerously close to the Santa Fe River, creating
a possibility of contamination.
Because funding was approved in 1998,
houses built after that date did not qualify for
the program, said High Springs Mayor James
Gabriel.
"When the USDA gave loans to fix the
existing problem, they said 'ok, we're gonna fix
the ones in the ground now, but were not going to
fix the ones in the future,'" Gabriel said.
If additional funds are left over after the five
phases are completed, those may be applied to
these "tweenies" in limbo, but it will still have to
go through the USDAfor approval.
"Rural Development has not totally signed off'
on that, but it looks good," Gabriel said. "We're
very hopeful."


investigation is further along.
"We do believe with the
evidence available that we have
a good, solid case," Barcia
said. "But if anyone has any
information regarding this,
please give us a call."

Implants
For many people who are
missing teeth, dental implants
are an attractive option. In the
implant procedure, a mental
post is surgically placed in the
bone under your gums; then,
after a period of healing, a
replacement crown is attached
to the post. Implants are
not, however an option for
everyone. Certain conditions
must exist. Healthy gums and
bone are necessary to support
the post that is implanted.
Also, because the placement
of implants is a surgical
procedure, a candidate must
be in sound enough health to
handle the surgery. Smokers
and diabetics also may not


be candidates for implants
since both those conditions
may have caused gums to
deteriorate.
Implants can also be used
to secure a bridge or dentures
when more than on6 tooth is
missing. Generally, a team
of dentists is necessary when
installing implants: One
dentist, for instance, may do
the surgery to put the implant
in the bone and another may
place the crown on the post.
Talk with your dentist about
whether you are a candidate
for dental implants. And check
with your insurance provider
to see if the procedure is fully
or partially covered.

and first and second graders
competed to see who among


them could jump the longest.
In the end, a handful of the
students remained and became
the winners in their grade level.


Jurmp Rope for Heart is an
educational fundraising event.
Held each year in thousands of
elementary schools nationwide
by the American Heart
Association, the program not
only helps those in need, but
also educates youth about the
benefits of physical activity, and
how to keep their hearts in good
shape.
Among special guests
assisting in the event was the
Santa Fe High School Interact
Club and Santa Fe High School
Athletic Director Michele Faulk.
Busily checking the health of
youngsters was Don Holbrook
and his alter ego, Dr. Happ E.

For the uninitiated, jumping
rope is not only fun it's a sport
and an art. With names such
as "Minute Mania," "Jump the

jumping rope is as much fun as
it is healthy. The highlight of all

was the "endurance jump." Not

police and fire departments.
But the police department was,
disbanded last month and the
town's fire department has been
hanging in the balance since.
One solution proposed by the
county commissioners is for the
city to pay into a MS [U to fund


sheriff and fire protection from
the county. MSTUs are typically
used by counties to tax residents
,living in unincorporated areas.
Those taxes are designated for,
services the county provides to
those residents such as sheriff
patrolling and responses to
fires.
Alachua City Manager
Clovis Watson, Jr. has been
helping Hawthorne since
the commission fired its city
manager earlier this month, and


he attended the Tuesday evening
commission meeting.
While at Tuesday's meeting,
Watson introduced Linda Rice-
Chapman and Sue Weller, both
residents of the Alachua and
High Springs area who have
volunteered their services
to Hawthorne. Weller has
over 20 years of experience
in government services,
Watson said. Rice-Chapman,
meanwhile, is an attorney\ and
real estate agent.
Watson, an unpaid
consultant to the commission,
said Hawthorne's leaders were


faced with tough decisions and
ultimately opted for the MSTU
.after a review of the City's
revenues showed a lack of
funding for the fire department.
"I think the commission
made the best decision they-
could given the circumstances
in which they find themselves,"
said Watson. .
Watson also made it clear
that he had nor intention of
questioning the decisions of
the former city manager, ( i.Jd
"I was not in [. 'l ..L's]
shoes and I don't know what


kinds of situations he may have
been facing," Watson said.
The adoption of the MSTU
for fire and sheriff services
means the Hawthorne Fire
Department will effectively bt
disbanded.

This is how we know what love is


This is how we know what
love is: Jesus Christ laid down
his life for us. And we ought
to lay down our lives for our
brothers. If anyone has material
possessions and sees his brother
in need but has no pity on him,
how can the love of God be in
him? Dear children, let us not
love with words or tongue but
with actions and
in truth. This then
is how we know
that we belong to
the truth; and how
we set our hearts at
rest in his presence
whenever our hearts
condemn us. For
God is greater than
our hearts, and he
knows everything. 1
John 3:16-20 NIV REV. LEC
There are few TR
passages that New Life,
bring rejoicing and Chapel, (
conviction together
as well as this portion of. 1 John,
We see the beauty of Christ's
love and His sacrifice for us. At
the same time we see how we
are called to live and respond.
toward one .another. It is easy
to be the benefactor. It is much
harder to turn around and
express that kind of love that
Christ calls us to share, Let's
take a look at Jesus' love and
sacrifice and then look at what
we are called to do in response
to that great love, .
Jesus does not only tell
us that He loves us, He hasL
demonstrated His love by laying
His life down for us. Some
argue that as God He knew that.


O
A


He would take His life up again.
This knowledge does not change
the value of His love or sacrifice
on our behalf. The death He
went through was undeserved
and the pain horrific. He felt
every lash of the whip, every
punch thrown, and the piercing
of His brow by the crown of
thorns. He felt each nail being
driven into his
hands and feet..We
need to remember
that in the flesh He
was not sheltered
from the pain and
I still willfully went,
through it for us.
The example of
love: that Jesus
demonstrates is a
love that sacrifices
>NARD R. self for the benefit
INA of others.
communityy Jesus displayed
ainesville the pattern for
us to' live by. He,
being God in the flesh, is the
one whom we. should desire
to become like. There are
numerous signs 'regarding the
Christ-like life. Many point
to the "Fruit of the Spirit" and
rightly so. John describes
several components of Christ
like love. They are sacrifice,
sharing, and peace. Let's take a
look at these.
First we see that a life
driven by Christ-like love will
be willing to lay their life down
for another. This literally means
that you would take a bullet
for another. This should be
our goal. We would be willing
to step in front of a brother or


sister and take the bullet on
their behalf, sparing their life. I
do not wish to put us on a guijt
trip. This kind of love is the
goal that we are to press toward.
I doubt many of us have arrived
to where we would die for one
we have never met, but might
die for a friend or family (Rom.
5:7). How we act in love toward
others reveals a lot about one's
relationship with Jesus and their
maturity.
Secondly we, see that we
are called to share. You might
say to yourself that sharing is,
easier than dying for someone.
Is it really? We are told that if
we have material possessions
and see a brother in material
need and have no pity on' him,
how can the love of God be iin
us. In other words God's love is
demonstrated, through positive
action on behalf of others. It is
easy to say "I love you," but the
truth is revealed in how we act
toward each other. The qualifier
in our text is not for. us to give
if you only have abundance, but
rather if, you have possessions
and a brothel or sister has needs
we are to share. We could be,
like; the church on the corner
that establishes a list of 50
requirements before one can
receive, help. That is not love.
Sometimes brother and sisters
just need help. We need to be
cheerful givers recognizing
that Christ-like love affects the
world. The love demonstrated
by the church when the church
cares' for ohe another is a
powerful witness to a dark and
dying world.


What happens when we act
like the church we are called
to be? What happens when we
engage in the lives of others
helping them in their time of
ilt-d'i' People are helped, we
receive peace and Christ is
glorified. We receive peace
before God and man. When
we move from a vertical love
to a triangular love we are
completing the command of
Christ to "Love the Lord your
God with all your heart ...
and to love your neighbor as
yourself' (Mat. 22:37-39):


When love operates through
us and we are willing to share
with others and we are truly
blessed. Such a person will
never be left out in the cold. For
the day of their great need others
will come rushing to their side
offering help. 1 remember the
scene from one of my favorite
movies "It's a Wonderful Life."
George has been set up by the
evil man in town and is'accused
of stealing a large sum of money.
The bank auditor is about to call
for his arrest when the word
gets around regarding George's


great need. People come from
all over bringing cash to give
him in his hour of need, because
they love him. Why did they
love him so? He was the one-
who shared love with them over:,.
and over without expectations.
In fact, even in his hour of need
he did not go to them. They.
found out and responded. .:A
church that operates like this *iss.
a church that is sharing the love
of Jesus in this life and shinirig:
His light before others.
