772-643-514 Vero Beach/Surrounding A “Whether buying or selling, let me help negotiate for you!”
772-643-5147 Vero Beach/Surrounding Areas Mayfield is planning to move to Brevard County and run for State Senate. (She’s moving because she got married in October, and her husband lives in Brevard County.) The election is less than eight months away, and she won’t even start raising money until March. “It’s going to be a fast and furious campaign,” she said. I’ll say. Congratulations to longtime Vero Beach Book Center employee Debbie Sentance, who was selected by James Patterson to receive a holiday bonus. The bestselling author is giving away $250,000, to be split among 87 employees of independent book stores across the nation. Debbie was the only person from Florida to make the cut. Debbie, who has worked at the Vero Beach Book Center for 23 years, doesn’t know who nominated her for the bonus. And, as of last week, she did not know the amount – if Patterson gives the same amount to the 87 recipients, she’ll receive more than $2,800.

What does she plan to do with the money? “Spread some good cheer,” she said. For posterity’s sake, I note on the first day of winter the high temperature was 82 degrees and the price of gas was $1.85 (if you have a Cumberland Farms “SmartPay” card). Life is good! Before we flip the calendar to 2016, I wanted to note a 2015 milestone – congratulations to Colkitt Air Conditioning for its 45th year in business. As someone who has been in business a mere 15 months, I can tell you 45 years is no small feat. Very impressive. The aforementioned Vero Beach Book Center is celebrating its 40th year. Last summer, Richard Granata was driving through Illinois and came upon a town called Piper City. He took a picture of the sign, which noted a population of 850. As he pointed out, Piper Aircraft has 850 employees. That’s almost “Twilight Zone”-type stuff.

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. 311. “Manic Monday” (1986) The Bangles Memory: Prince wrote the song, but it wouldn’t have reached No. 2 without the vocals of Susanna Hoffs. 310. “Werewolves of London” (1978) Warren Zevon Memory: The lyrics are just plain silly, but it’s hard to resist “howling” along. 309. “Take Me Home, Country Roads” (1971) John Denver Memory: Pretty cool this is West Virginia’s state song. All the songs thus far in the countdown can be found on LemmonLines.com.
