  • __n_&__i_ The Voice of the Catamounts Volume 60 Issue 2 Leggo My Liquor: Sylva has "mixed feelings" as they vote on referendum August 2 Amy Seeley StaffReporter Next month, students at Western Carolina University may actually be able to use the words "bar" and "Sylva" in the same sentence without being laughed off campus. Tuesday, August 2, there will be a special election held in the town of Sylva that will determine whether mixed drinks can be sold within town limits. The special election is the result of a meeting of the town board on April 7. During the meeting, the board passed a resolution asking for the referendum and the special election. The mixed drink referendum will be the first of its kind since Sylva passed a beer and wine act that allowed a lower alcohol content than the mixed drink vote would allow, according to Lisa Lovedale, supervisor of the Board of Elections. The actual referendum would "permit the sale of mixed beverages in hotels, restaurants, private clubs, and convention centers." However, only businesses with at least 40 percent of income coming from the sale of food would be eligible for a license. "I have mixed feelings," said Richard Fulton, manager of Meriweathers restaurant, "I think it can help the town of Sylva and surrounding areas. But, if it brings additional business for the area, it may hurt those already here." Rob Miller, manager of Bailey's, said that his company would definitely participate if the referendum is passed. "I don't think that it will hurt any of the other small businesses," Miller said, "it would be beneficial." There is no doubt that an increase in business would be probable if the referendum is passed. However, Fulton feels that no matter what the outcome o; the vote is, the result will be close. He also noted that a lot of the restaurants in the area would probably not be able to afford a full bar. Instead, a limited selection of drinks would be sold. To Western students who enjoy relaxing in bars, the possibilities could be vast. Cullowhee is undoubtably one of the few college towns that carries out an active social scene without the use of bars. The August 2 vote could change the way a lot of students spend their time. Sports Restaurants/Bars and a wider selection of eating establishments can save many students a trip to Asheville. One major stipulation of the election is that only residents of Sylva are permitted to vote. This means that anyone that has a residence outside of Sylva is not eligible to vote. As of now, approximately 10 thousand voters are registered in the town of Sylva. Things can further change for Sylva on August 2, when neighboring Macon County holds an election that could allow the town of Franklin to be wet. If this law passes, some revenue could be lost for Sylva that could further increase by adding the mixed drink referendum. At the present time, there is no organized opposition to the referendum. On the other hand, no group has publicly proclaimed to support the mixed drink vote. "I just don't think that they've come out yet," said Lovedale. The vote will take place from 6:30 am until 7:30 pm on Tuesday, August 2. All residents of Sylva who are registered to vote with the Jackson County Board of Elections are eligible to vote in the election. This includes the Dillsboro precincL Voters who are already registered do not have to re-register. Residents who are not registered must do so by Tuesday, July 12. Absentee ballots will be accepted by the Board of Elections from now until July 26. Any questions about voting in the special election may be answered by the Board of Elections office,(704) 586-4055.
