Motorists should watch as deer season begins PEOPLE AROUND WALTON By Jo -Ann McDonald Call 887-6570 The weather is so great one day and then the next just the opposite. Lots of corn is coming off and the farmers are busy. The rain puts a stop to many, providing a chance to take a rest. Congratulations to Barmy Tech on 25 years in business. Dorothy Cummings began her business in her home before moving to the Walton school in 2000. She has employed up to three ladies at a time and her business has expanded from reusable cloth bags to much, much more. Dorothy held an open house to celebrate and a constant stream of folks dropped in for coffee and cake. Congratulations to Dorothy. Watch out for running deer come Monday as the first full week of November is always deer hunting season. Deer are already running rampant; ask the many folks who have had close encounters, near misses and yes, have hit deer. The name McDonald seems to go with deer encounters. LeeAnn narrowly missed a deer last week but Jim McDonald was not so lucky and suffered damage to his truck because of a collision. Eyes open everyone!
