a scary summerfield halloween story AS TOLD BY SUMMERFIELD SCOOP

A very scary group of trolls met around a boiling cauldron last June and asked themselves “What is the nastiest thing we could do to the townspeople of Summerfield this Halloween?” The lead troll said “I know, we could create a Planned Development Ordinance that would change the rural charter of their town FOREVER and destroy that which brought most of the townspeople to Summerfield.

Oooh, said the other trolls as they danced in the firelight, “We love it, tell us more!” The lead troll continued “We can have our town minions write The Ordinance in such a way that we give developers complete control of our zoning and allow them to build WHATEVER they want, WHEREVER they want.” The other trolls said “Oooh, this sounds so diabolical, tell us more!” The Head troll exclaimed “We are cunning and can certainly rush this through the Troll Board and Troll Council quickly without one word from the citizens. The silly townspeople after 18 months of covid misery and hardships they are trying to enjoy summer vacation with their families and friends and they will never even notice.” The trolls yipped and chanted “Yes we can!”

The trolls, mesmerized by their power and the control that they could exert over the townspeople began to howl with delight. They chuckled, “This will be law before the simple townspeople even understand its impact on their rural paradise.” SO WHAT if the townspeople run out of water. SO WHAT if their prized schools are so overwhelmed with students that they can no longer mold exceptional young people. SO WHAT if their roads are so clogged with vehicles that it takes 15 minutes to go a mile? SO WHAT? They are simple and will be happy to get a new grocery store, a SHEETZ, a 3rd rate restaurant and 100’s of commercial storefronts that will never have permanent tenants. The lead troll added “Just think of all the apartments that we can build in these

PD’s, but we must never tell the townspeople for this might make them angry!” So the trolls began to implement their devious Halloween plan, but the townspeople DID notice and were more passionate about their town than the trolls. They organized their friends and neighbors and rose up to challenge the trolls and their PD. In the bright light of public opinion the townspeople of Summerfield remained pure, strong, and determined and exposed the trolls and their minions for what they were, small creatures with little respect for the Town, its citizens, and for the rural heritage of this wonderful place called Summerfield.

With their plan exposed the Trolls were now seen more clearly by the townspeople than ever before. And the people exclaimed “We need real people to look after our wonderful rural community, NOT trolls. We need townspeople that will value and protect our water, and our children’s schools and our infrastructure.” And three townspeople rose to accept the challenge: Gail Dunham for Mayor, Greg Fox for Town Council, and Teresa Winfree (Pegram) Perryman for Town Council.
