LEMMON DROPS: You never know who you’ll run into at C.J. Cannon’s Six bite-size Lemmon Drops to nibble on while waiting for the final tribute to be paid to Prince:
• Lois Cappelen was sincere in asking the question.
“Have you ever heard of anyone named Vanilla Ice?” My internal reaction: “Duh!” However, out of respect for Lois, I just nodded my head in the affirmative. “He’s sitting right over there,” she said, pointing to the dining area at C.J. Cannon’s. Lois had never heard of him, but servers Julie Arata and Ruth Goodger were all giddy. They already had pictures taken with him. Vanilla Ice, 48, is a one-hit wonder, but what a hit it was – any music fan under the age of 60 has heard of “Ice Ice Baby” (which hit No. 1 in 1990). Now, he is Kardashian-esque in his appeal. Why was he in C.J. Cannon’s last Wednesday? He’s in Never miss an issue of

the area to work on Season 7 of “The Vanilla Ice Project” on the DIY Network. He is remodeling a house in Brevard County. Another server, Heather Hammer, bought a poster of him just two days before for her son. She was determined to get an autograph. “I’m going to be the coolest mom ever!” she said. Russ Lemmon Vanilla Ice, whose real name is Rob Van Winkle, turned on the charm while at the restaurant. “Thank you for your hospitality,” he said after signing an autograph for what’s called “The Wall” at Cannon’s. He even sat down at the piano in the lobby and played the Bill Withers classic “Lean on Me.” (That was really cool. I’ll be keeping that video on my iPhone for a long time!) Lois Cappelen said it best: “I met someone who I didn’t

know, and I didn’t really think I was going to like, and now I think he’s great – he’s a nice young man.” Vero Beach Book Store owner Chad Leonard kept telling me the April 19 appearance by Buzz Aldrin was going to be huge, but I’m thinking the overflow crowd of nearly 500 people probably exceeded his expectations. Back in 2014, while still at the Press Journal, I wrote a column about Christian Futch having perfect attendance from kindergarten through his senior year at Vero Beach High School. I mentioned Christian wanted to become a firefighter. Last week, completely out of the blue, I received a graduation-type announcement. On the left-hand side was my column from 2014. On the right-hand side was a photo of Christian with his parents, Cameron and Terry Ann Futch – Christian was holding a certificate of completion from the Fire Academy at Indian River State College. The handwritten note, presumably from Terry Ann, said: “He made it! (Also with perfect attendance.)”

That was the coolest surprise I’ve received in a long, long time. Congratulations, Christian. It’s still early, but local candidates are going to have a hard time coming up with a catchier slogan than the one Buck Vocelle is using in his first-ever run for political office (Mosquito Control District): “Mosquitoes suck!! Vote for Buck.” Update: After spending the past several months in Poland, unable to return to the United States, Eva Liwanowska is back at Eva’s Polish Kitchen on 43rd Avenue. On the same day Vanilla Ice was at C.J. Cannon’s, I happened to cross paths with Ann Grou. She was there picking up various publications while her husband waited outside with the car running. When I asked her why she had two copies of Lemmon Lines, she said: “My neighbor loves it, too. She says, ‘Get me that yellow paper.’ ” Hmmm. Sounds like a pretty good marketing slogan!

Meet me at Table 51 Some trivia: Whether at Bob Evans or C.J. Cannon’s, Russ and his wife usually eat breakfast at Table 51. In what is a regular feature, Russ breaks bread with someone you may or may not know.
“I’m not so young on the inside,” he said. “I take things personally, and I worry about others. On the inside, I might be 75.” Andy, who has been involved in local banking for more than 30 years, is now with the National Bank I’ve always thought of Andy Beindorf as the of Commerce.

Top 500 countdown
Fun facts
Russ Lemmon, who loves music (and lists), spent a lot of time putting together his Top 500 favorite songs of all-time. For the next few years, Lemmon Lines will be counting ‘em down.
The five-member Board of County Commissioners had 44 meetings (regular and special-call meetings) during 2014-15 fiscal year. It met for a total of 140 hours.
260. “Oh, Babe, What Would You Say?” (1972) Hurricane Smith Memory: This one’s for you, Dave Vivona! (The clerk at the downtown post office in Vero Beach has been waiting for this song in the countdown.)
Compare that to two years earlier, when the board had fewer meetings (40) but met for more total hours (147).
259. “We’ve Got Tonight” (1978) Bob Seger Memory: This song could be a hit in any decade. 258. “Give Me Love (Give Me Peace on Earth)” (1973) George Harrison Memory: Liked him better as solo act than with Beatles. All the songs thus far in the countdown can be found on LemmonLines.com.
