IT IS A DESTINATION NOT TO BE MISSED!
PAM COOPER’S PATHWAYS: Fellsmere wanted to be known for its airfield “Fellsmere generally gets what it goes after, if it goes after it hard enough.” – Fellsmere Tribune, November 1918
The people of Fellsmere gave credit to George Green for shipping the first Fellsmere grapefruit by “air route.” When the plane left, he made sure it was well laden with “trophies” from Fellsmere. In early 1918, it was the desire of the community Five months later, another plane landed, but to build a landing field for visiting aviators. The this time for just a visit.

LEMMON DROPS: At 46, Davis still has a future in local politics Six bite-size Lemmon Drops to nibble on while waiting for the hype to build before the first presidential debate:
• We’ll probably see his name on the ballot again.
It’ll be at least four years, though. At age 46, Wesley Davis still has a future in local politics. He’s coming off a close loss to David Nolte in the Property Appraiser’s race. Nolte was elected to a 10th fouryear term – which is truly a remarkable feat. Davis passed on what would have been an almost certain re-election bid to the County Commission to challenge Nolte. In the race for Property Appraiser, Davis touted his experience in the private sector – he and Rick Baxter run Indian River Auction & Appraisals. He’ll soon be able to devote full-time hours to the venture. He said he’d probably be more interested in running for an open seat – that was the case in successful runs for the School Board and County Commission, as well MusicWorks, Inc. & Paris Productions Present

as an unsuccessful run for State Representative. If he followed that script, he would have more options. But waiting until Nolte retires seems the most likely scenario. So, will he ever run for office again? “If my wife lets me, I will,” he said. Russ Lemmon Fair enough. Good news: Riverside Theatre will be offering behindthe-scenes tours of its extravagant productions during the season. The backstage tours will take place at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. on eight Fridays from November through April. The cost is $5, but there is no charge to Riverside “members.” “We will be touring the different shops backstage (costume, set construction, scene painting), dressing rooms, stages, and fill people in on the history of this theatre,” said

Oscar Sales, the venue’s marketing director. For the dates of the tours, and to purchase tickets, call the box office at 772-231-6990. So I was checking on prices for airline tickets to Indianapolis, and tried from both Melbourne and Orlando. In playing around, trying to find the cheapest flight combo on Expedia.com, I mistakenly put in the codes for a flight from Orlando to nearby Melbourne. The cost for a one-way flight from MCO to MLB: $317.60! I honestly can’t remember the last time I saw someone pulled over for speeding on U.S. 1. I could easily stop a dozen drivers a day. As regular readers know, I’m not a big fan of the invasion of “dollar” stores in 2016. Betsy Kemp, who lives in Indian River Estates, sees it differently. She wishes there was a Dollar General store on State Road 60 west of 58th Avenue. She even wrote an email to the corporate office with that suggestion for a location.

“Please be advised that we share the same interest in this Trade Area and hope to address our efforts in the near future,” a company official said in response. “If you own or know the owners of property you wish for us to review, please feel free to share that information in response to this message.” Be careful what you wish for, Betsy! A few weeks ago, “Sugar, Sugar” made the Top 500 countdown. Scott Cameron, one of the biggest music lovers I know, took me to task. “With so many good songs over so many years, even average songs, I can’t believe that you have included The Archies with ‘Sugar, Sugar.’ … Oh, well. Everyone has different tastes. Keep on truckin’ with your list.” My response to Scott: “What can I say? I was an impressionable kid! I was 10 years old when the song came out, and I watched the cartoon show every week.”

Top 500 countdown 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. 200. “Life in a Northern Town” (1985) The Dream Academy Memory: Just a beautifully crafted song. 199. “Born to Run” (1975) Bruce Springsteen Memory: Are you old enough to remember him being on the cover of Time and Newsweek the same week in October ’75? It was the first time I’d ever heard of him. 198. “Poor Poor Pitiful Me” (1978) Linda Ronstadt Memory: She took a song originally recorded by the writer (Warren Zevon) and turned it into a hit.
Fun facts The warmest September on record in Vero Beach? It was 1996, with an average temperature of 82.5 degrees, followed by 1998 and 2015 (each with 82.1 degrees). The coolest September on record in Vero Beach? It’s a tie between 1968 and 2001, with an average temperature of 78.4 degrees, followed by 1971 and 1984 (each with 78.6 degrees).
