JUST WONDERING: What are the most popular books by the 2016 GOP presidential candidates? The list below, provided by the Vero Beach Book Center, is in order of sales. However, some books are at a disadvantage because they are so new and haven’t had time to sell, and others are so old that peak time has faded. Ben Carson: “One Nation” Marco Rubio: “American Dreams” Mike Huckabee: “God, Guns, Grits, and Gravy” Jeb Bush: “Immigration Wars” Ted Cruz: “A Time For Truth” Carly Fiorina: “Rising to the Challenge” Rick Santorum: “Bella’s Gift” Donald Trump: “Time to Get Tough” Rand Paul: “Taking a Stand” Scott Walker: “Un-intimidated” John Kasich: “Courage is Contagious” Rick Perry: “Fed Up!” Bobby Jindal: “Leadership & Crisis” – Source: Vero Beach Book Center

LEMMON DROPS: More than 25 years ago, barber took a leap of faith and landed in Vero Beach Six bite-size Lemmon Drops to nibble on while tracking Danny’s path:
• The late Fred Finkelday changed the course of Frank
Sosta’s life. Back in the 1980s, Finkelday – then the superintendent of schools in Hyde Park, N.Y. – owned a condo in Vista Gardens. While getting his hair cut at Frank’s barber shop in Hyde Park, Finkelday used to rave about Vero Beach. Finkelday gave Frank a tip about a possible business opportunity in Vero Beach – he might be able to buy the Royal Cut Barber Shop – and suggested Frank consider making the move to fast-growing Florida. Frank took a leap of faith and relocated here with his three kids. “I didn’t know a soul,” he said. After working at Royal Cut for a year, he was able to buy the business. “Just like Fred said I would,” he said.
Now look at him. His barber shop – located in the plaza just to the south of the entrance to McKee Botanical Garden on U.S. 1 – have come a long way. “Anybody who is anybody gets their hair cut here,” he said. You might say Frank is “politically connected.” He is vice chairman of Russ Lemmon the Indian River County Republican Party’s executive committee. What I love about Frank’s business is that his son, Michael, joined him a little more than a year ago. Frank, 67, is a second-generation barber, and Michael, 31, is carrying on the family tradition. (A photo of Frank and Michael can be found on LemmonLines.com.) Frank’s father was a barber for 63 years. Michael works full-time as a senior aircraft assembler at Piper and is at Royal Cut from about 4 to 7 p.m.

“I wanted something that no one could take away from me,” Michael said. “So, here I am. Third generation.” Michael says he loves his job at Piper, so he doesn’t see cutting hair as anything other than a part-time gig. The Republican Club of Indian River County is hosting an “All-American Rally” Sept. 26 at the fairgrounds. The popular band Landsharks will be performing from 3 to 6 p.m. Organizers have reached out to all of the GOP presidential candidates and invited them to the event. So far, no one has accepted the invitation. Tom Lockwood, the longtime leader of the local Republican Party, said: “We would like to be optimistic. The reality is, the chances are slim – just because of our size.” Obviously, Donald Trump tops the wish list. Lockwood says it’s a long shot, but he hasn’t given up hope. “You never know,” Lockwood said. “He’s amazed me so far.” I’m happy to report the sign at U.S. 1 and 12th Street now

includes ALL of the state championships (2006-15) won by Vero Beach High School’s girls lacrosse team. Those who watched ABC’s “World News Tonight” last week (Aug. 19) had to be smiling with the way anchor David Muir closed out the newscast. After a report of the $4.5 million in gold coins found off our shores, Muir had these parting words: “I’m going to Vero Beach.” In making a quick stop at the Indian River Mall last week, I crossed paths with longtime acquaintances Jane Young and Joseph Guay. I had no idea they meet every day at the mall and walk more than 2 miles. Since May 2013, Joseph has walked more than 1,630 miles inside the mall and Jane has logged more than 1,360 miles! We hear it all the time – Vero is becoming more of a yearround community. Well, the aforementioned barber, Frank Sosta, definitely believes that is the case. “This is the busiest summer I’ve ever had,” he said.
