PAM COOPER’S PATHWAYS: Naming of Roseland somewhat of a mystery Roseland originally was a place that had Underwood met with the Cain family on the front multiple plantations.

must have applied for a “rewards card” because the cashier was asking for some information. “Your first name?” the cashier asked. “Debbie,” she said. “Last name?” “Mayfield.” I couldn’t resist … I had to rib the State Representative for not being recognized in public. We got to talking, and I asked if what I had heard is true – that is, she’s moving to Brevard County and will run for the State Senate. (The current officeholder, Thad Altman, can’t run for reelection because of term limits.) She said it’s true. Now before you get to thinking she has turned into a

carpetbagger because she’s desperate to remain an elected official, there’s a simple reason for her pending move. She recently remarried, and her husband, Bob Scaringe, lives in Brevard County. Debbie, 59, was previously married to Stan Mayfield, a State Representative from 2000-08. He Russ Lemmon died of esophageal cancer on Sept. 30, 2008, a month after he was elected Indian River County Tax Collector. She was elected as State Representative in 2008, succeeding her late husband, and is unable to run for the District 54 seat again because of term limits. Winning the State Senate District 16 seat won’t be easy. Melbourne resident Ritch Workman, also a current State Representative, is also expected to run for Altman’s seat. District 16 is definitely weighted toward Brevard County,
where about 70 percent of the voters reside. The rest live in Indian River County. Did you hear the story about the guy who was high on the synthetic drug Flakka and tried to break into the Indian River County Jail to see his buddies? And you thought those type of stories only happened in Port St. Lucie. It’s hard to knock the County Commission’s decision to call off a national search and hire Jason Brown, the county’s budget director, to succeed Joe Baird as county administrator. With the terrorist attacks in Paris and San Bernardino still fresh in our minds, a woman couldn’t believe a semiautomatic rifle was one of the items put up for auction before Jake Owen’s Dec. 11 benefit concert at the Riverside Theatre. “What in the world were they thinking when the first thing they auctioned off was an assault rifle?” the woman wrote. “This is really disturbing!” County Commissioner Wesley Davis, who served as the

auctioneer, made no apologies for the rifle, which has a clip for approximately 15 rounds. “In order for it to be an assault weapon, it must be used in an assault,” he said. “This gun was not used in an assault.” An avid outdoorsman, Davis has been a member of the National Rifle Association since the age of 15. He said the gun fetched about $3,000 in the auction, which raised money for the Jake Owen Foundation. In all, the auction raised more than $25,000 for the foundation, with the money going toward local youth programs and St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital. Of the money raised that night, $10,000 was for putting lessons from PGA star Jordan Spieth. “I hope we didn’t offend anybody who doesn’t golf,” Davis quipped. If you eat at a local restaurant this week, please consider adding an extra dollar or two (or three) to what you would normally tip your server. Make someone’s day, won’t you? Merry Christmas!

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. 314. “Red Red Wine” (1988) UB40 Memory: Nothing against Neil Diamond’s original version, but the reggae beat turned this song into a classic. 313. “The Power of Love” (1993) Celine Dion Memory: She’s one of the top vocalists of our time. 312. “You Wear It Well” (1972) Rod Stewart Memory: An underappreciated song that I haven’t heard on the radio since the ’70s. All the songs thus far in the countdown can be found on LemmonLines.com.
