LEMMON DROPS: More and more owners don’t mind mixing business, politics Six bite-size Lemmon Drops to nibble on while waiting for LeBron James to be given more credit for what his teams have accomplished:
• I’ve always found it strange when businesses allow campaign signs on their property. Not that it offends me – it doesn’t. It’s just that I don’t understand why businesses would want to risk alienating potential customers who are supporting a different candidate. Back in the day, it was taboo for businesses to take a political stand. On U.S. 1 in Vero Beach, perhaps the most prominent campaign sign is in front of Einstein Bagels – it’s for Erin Grall, who is running for State Representative. I would think it gives pause to supporters of her opponents – Lange Sykes, Dale Glading and Greg MacKay – about eating there. Or maybe not. In front of Arby’s are signs for John Kim, who is running

for School Board. In the coming weeks, the number of political signs in the county will increase tenfold, and then some. Businesses will be under more pressure to allow signs on their property. I’ve talked with business owners in the past, and many said they allowed campaign signs from multiple candidates Russ Lemmon in the same race. (Given the giant sign for Grall in front of Einstein Bagels, I’d be surprised if her opponents are allowed to put signs on the property.) If I owned a retail business, there’s no way I’d want a campaign sign in front of my store. I read an article recently that said roughly one-third of businesses are comfortable with sharing their political views with customers – I’d be with the other two-thirds. This is going to be the most exciting year in local politics in

quite some time. Let’s just hope things remain civil in every race. A few years ago, while still at the Press Journal, I wrote a column about Christian Futch having perfect attendance from kindergarten through 12th grade. A truly remarkable achievement. I was happy to hear Casey Futch (the brother of Christian) graduated from Vero Beach High School this year – and he also had perfect attendance since kindergarten. Very cool. Every so often, when driving to Bob Evans for breakfast, we get stuck behind heavy equipment (usually a grader) heading down 58th Avenue. It can be very frustrating. That’s why I could relate to the first sentence of Carla Klein’s email: “Is there a rule or law, other than just common courtesy, that requires a slow moving tractor (or similar vehicle) to pull over to allow traffic to pass?” She wrote about the frustration drivers on 43rd Avenue experienced one morning when the tractor refused to pull over to let traffic pass. “When I was stopped at the light at 26th Street, to his right

side, I did angrily gesture to him that he should have pulled over,” she wrote. “He gestured back angrily. He clearly could not care less that he inconvenienced multiple other drivers and created a dangerous situation when frustrated drivers passed him in a non-passing zone. … Law or not, perhaps his employers should speak to him about being a little considerate.” Agreed. When people are driving 65 mph on the Barber Bridge, as was the case one morning last week, it’s time for the Vero Beach Police Department to have more of a presence there. Another follow-up to a column I wrote in 2012 for the Press Journal: Congratulations to Armand Zarrella for completing a successful skydive June 5 in Sebastian. Did I mention Armand recently turned 94? Armand’s first skydive was at age 90! What are the chances Donald Trump will have one of his huge rallies in Indian River County this fall? It’s not as farfetched as you might think.

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. 239. “Because the Night” (1993) 10,000 Maniacs Memory: The MTV “Unplugged” version, featuring Natalie Merchant, gets the nod over the ones by each of the song’s co-writers, Patti Smith and Bruce Springsteen. 238. “How Bizarre” (1996) OMC Memory: Pretty sure this is the only song in the countdown by a New Zealand group. 237. “Authority Song” (1984) John Mellencamp Memory: Smile-inducing video, and a great concert song. All the songs thus far in the countdown can be found on LemmonLines.com.
