    owned, but each store is special.Te store tucked along 5 re-cently received a makeover romoor to ceiling, and even a newsitting area outside.

    Every so oten corporate asks

    each store to update their ap-pearance. Tis request hit FrontRoyal ater 1 years, and the endresult is beautiul. All new oors,paint, decorations, drink sta-tions, counters, you name it, andits been remodeled.Te store welcomes patrons

    with an inviting color palette thatinspires and relaxes. Customerswere excited to see the changesater the store ront had beenclosed or nearly six days or ren-ovations.

    Te outdoor area will be com-

    pleted in the weeks ahead withoutdoor umbrellas and i theweather cooperates, owers.Sta and customers alike were

    abuzz about the changes. Ca-shiers smiled rom ear to ear asthey admired the newly remod-eled work area, talking to cus-tomers about the changes andtaking pride in their workplace.Corporate matches the stores

    monies in order to make the endresult something the whole com-munity can take pride in.

    Te only vote that was not appar-ent rom the start o the discussion

    some eight months ago was Mayorim Darrs. But Darr had madeit perectly clear or at least twomonths that he was not buying intothe logic that the switch to Novem-ber was necessary or an eectivemeans to stimulate increased voterturnout with the goal o breakingthe inuence o small blocks o spe-cial interest groups on town elec-tions with an average 17-percent voter turnout over the past threeelections.

    Over the past eight years the lonetown election that bucked the be-low 0 percent turnout trend wasthe volatile Wal-mart by the river004 election that saw a 3-percentturnout bump our incumbentsrom oce.

    Ironically perhaps, it was onecouncilman rst brought to townoce during the higher voter turn-out 004 Wal-mart massacre now Mayor Darr who cast the

    Darr addressed his belie that thecall or a change to November elec-tions was a direct result o citizendiscontent with some sitting mem-bers o council. And he questionedwhether council had accumulated

    Who am I supposed to vote or?

    Coincidence?

    In the end Darr joined Lauder, Hol-loway and Tarpe to deeat a simpleordinance change that would haveacilitated the switch to Novemberor the 01 town election.

    Perhaps coincidentally the quartet voting to stick with May electionsappears to have been the catalyst orthe citizen initiative or the switchto November in the rst place. Tatinitiative grew out o citizen outrageover the ring o own ManagerMichael Graham on Sept. 7, 010and to some extent general discon-tent over councils handling o theproposed public-private solar pow-er partnership that Graham was amajor player in negotiating toward.

    On Sept. 7, then recently-electedTarpe joined Holloway and Lauderto orm a 3- majority to re Gra-

    ham. Sayre, perhaps councils mostvocal Graham critic, chose to miss

    that meeting despite saying he knewa vote on Grahams uture loomedthat night. Darr, while not having to vote on Grahams termination, ap-peared to support the council sub-majority decision on the town man-ager in subsequent interviews.

    Whose responsibility?

    Te council supporters or main-taining May elections all indicatedthey elt they should not make thedecision to acilitate the electoralchange despite the citizen survey re-sult 556 responses or the changeto November; 60 avoring stickingwith the stand-alone May elections.

    Despite the strong survey resultavoring the change, the quarteto No November ocials indi-cated the number o town surveyresponses did not represent a su-

    cient mandate or council to takepositive legislative action.

    Rather, Darr, Tarpe, Lauder andHolloway threw the perhaps still-ticking electoral time bomb backthe citizens way. All our expresseda preerence that a citizen petitiono the courts lead to a court-ordered voter reerendum on the ElectionDay change.

    However Shae Parker, a strongproponent o the change rom theoutset, questioned that logic. Henoted that the survey result 95returned o about 9000 sent outpretty closely mirrored voter par-ticipation o as low as 15 percent inrecent town elections. And i 500to 800 votes were enough to electthem, why wasnt such a survey

    willing to speak on behal o thepeople in regards to increasing ourwater rates; theyre more than will-ing to speak on behal o the peoplein regard to raising our taxes, whichis ne and good thats why we vot-

    ed or them.But on this issue Ratigan said itwas as i the prevailing majority wasshopping or excuses not to act onwhat appears to be the will o a ma-jority o town citizens.

    Jerry Scholder reected that beliewhen he told council, Its too badsome o your minds are made up you can see it in the smirks. Youknow who you are so I wont name,names but you know what this is-sue is about.

    In a last ditch bid to sway at leastone vote toward November romthe trio o council opponents, Park-er pointed out that i they voted orthe change by ordinance and decid-ed it didnt work, council could sim-ply vote to change back. However,i the change is made by citizen re-erendum that change is binding oncouncil.

    Short memories?

    However it appeared to at leastone observer that those councilmen

    voting to maintain May electionsare banking on two things:

    1/ a citizen petition o the courtsand subsequent reerendum will notoccur in time to impact the 01town election;

    and / should a citizen reerendumaect the change to November, bythe 014 town election when thatchange is likely to be implementedeveryone will have orgotten whatthey were mad at them or in therst place.

    Long-term consequences?

    At least one observer with not toodistant experience in the towns po-litical trenches wondered i Darrwasnt risking his political uture byappearing to abandon the same citi-zen activists who had rst propelledhim into town oce.

    Former Mayor Eugene ewalt ex-pressed disappointment at the ma-jority vote.

    Im very surprised that the resultwasnt o a more positive nature thisevening, ewalt said. I think thepeople spoke by the surveys theysent back in to the town showinga positive result or the change toNovember. I think the town and thecouncil have made a bad decision

    and I think the result will be seenin the uture at the towns next elec-tion.

    ewalt declined to speculate onwhether he might rejoin the politi-cal ray in the 01 town election

    and perhaps challenge Darr, whodeeated him in an 18-percent voterturnout in 010.

    Another ormer town ocial, or-mer EDA board member Steve Sillwas also critical o the vote.

    Im a little disappointed. I lis-tened to his arguments, Sill saido the mayors decisive reasoning.I think he made some reasonable

    points but I really think the ideao increasing turnout is important thats the biggest [issue] Andthey talk about partisanship itsnot so much partisan as it is just alittle group o people who say Okay,

    this guys going to be in; this guysgoing to be in; that guys not goingto be in. But I think the opportunityor the citizens to move orward andask or a reerendum is a reasonablenext step.

    Another citizen questioned themajority rationale Why changenow? Weve always done it thisway.

    o say weve alwaway is incorrect becdone by Te Byrd Mother time prior to1930s obviously we vember, local his

    Too say weve always done it this way is incorrect because i it was done byTe Byrd Machine, at another time prior to the 190s or 1930s obviously wevoted in November. local historian Suzanne Silek

    Engles Angle: To MeBy Kevin S. Engle

    Warren County Report

    It seems Im quite the popularguy. Ive been getting lots of free

    stuff latelyOne restaurant gave me 15

    bucks off my next meal.

    Another gave me a free pizza.And my favorite dining es-

    tablishment, the Dairy Queen,

    wants me to have a free Bliz-zard, although theyd like me tobuy one rst. I can do that.

    Why all the free stuff?Its my birthday.

    Most folks dont like birthdays,especially once they hit 30. Notme. At our house, we celebrate

    the whole month.Well, I do anyway.Ive also been getting a lot of

    extra attention recently.My orthopedic surgeons of-

    ce sent me a birthday greeting.

    How nice. You know what wouldbe even nicer? How about ten

    percent off a future surgical pro-cedure? Like in a few yearswhen I need a joint replacement.

    New hips and shoulders arentcheap.My alma mater wished me a

    day of good cheer. That wasthoughtful, but I was hoping formore, considering all the money

    we paid in tuition. How aboutbasketball season tickets nextyear?

    I got a splashy email from CocaCola. Thats thoughtful, but Id

    prefer some free stuff instead.To paraphrase Tom Cruise in themovie Jerry Maguire, Show me

    the free stuff!I was grocery shopping a few

    days before THE day. The

    thought had already crossed mymind. When I got to the bakery,I decided to do it.

    Since it was just for my wifeand me, I picked out the small-

    est cake I could nd.Would you like something writ-

    ten on it? the cake decoratorasked me.

    Yes I would, I told her. HappyBirthday to me!She laughed.How pathetic, is what she was

    probably thinking. This loserhas to buy his own cake and cel-ebrate with himself.

    That was only partially true.Since my wife was going out

    of town the day after THE day,I would have to celebrate a fewdays by myself.

    A few minutes later, the womanscanning my purchases read thecake and snickered. She prob-

    ably thought I was pathetic aswell.Wouldnt your wife buy you a

    cake? she asked.Probably, but I didnt want to

    take a chance.Ok, maybe I am pathetic.Now I was curious.

    Were you going to get meone? I asked her the othernight.

    I was thinking about it.Works for me. After all, the

    month aint up yet.

    If youd like to wish the authora happy birthday, or send him an

    expensive gift, please do. Hesnapping right now. Too pooped

    from all the celebrating. That,and old age.

    Linda Allen, have pointed to Maymunicipal elections across Virginiaas part o a legacy o past racismand exclusion o working class vot-ers championed by a political ma-chine attempting to consolidate its

    stranglehold on politics across thecommonwealth in the 1930s.While acknowledging that the

    original impetus making it moredicult or both black and whitearm-working poor to get to thepolls during spring planting season is no longer valid, those citizenactivists say the end result o morelimited voter participation stillholds true in May elections.

    Questioned later, Darr reiteratedhis comments the evening o thepublic hearing.

    As stated that night there was noreal research done to determine i itwas in the best interest o the townrom a council/business standpoint.I do eel personally that the voterturnout may be larger but once

    again there was a lack o document-ed or proo presented prior to thevote to make the determination ora change. I do eel that the decisionis where it needs to be which is inthe hands o the voting citizens, themayor concluded.

    Te uture is later

    But supporters o November townelections have asked why councilshouldnt acilitate what appears tobe a popular change among citizens

    in the most timely manner possible and in time or the 01 election?

    But on June 13th a Front Royalown Council contingent buoyedby the mayors tiebreaking vote de-

    cided the towns electoral uture isnot now, but later.

    o knowledge about the historyo the county and local politics. Ienjoyed immensely my trip eachmonth to take him his PlanningCommission packet where Iwould get the opportunity to sit

    down with him on his porch orkitchen table - depending on theweather - at his home in Brown-town.We would review the up-

    coming meeting and what was

    going on in the community. Iwill always appreciate the gra-cious hospitality he and his wieshowed to me. Despite the busi-ness relationship, he never ailedto ask me how my wie and amily

    were doing. I am so grateul thathe was able to make the trip uprom Richmond on March 9thto join us or the Founding Dayevent. He played such a large rolein the history o our community

    o which he cared so deeply. Mr.Baggarly served this communityor an unprecedented 44 years in-cluding 8 years on the Board oSupervisors and 16 on the Plan-ning Commission; a mark that

    I eel comortable in saying willnever be eclipsed.Te county ew its ag at hal
