For anyone heading out to a Halloween party this evening where alcohol will be served, remember Booze It and Lose It is going on through November 2, so please don’t drink and drive.

Here’s some Halloween safety tips from Buncombe County for trick or treaters, parents, and homeowners.

Hope everyone has a safe and Happy Halloween!

Road construction at Monticello Road for Northridge Commons. According to the DOT website there will be construction on both Monticello Road and 25/70 for “an entrance to the new business at the corner of US 25/70 and Monticello Road (SR 1727). The construction will involve constructing an access for the business on Monticello Road (SR 1727) and Turn Lanes on US 25/70 and Monticello. Motorists can expect delays intermittently during the turn lane and entrance construction.” End date for the construction is listed as October 1, 2008.

I’m told the Weaverville Tribune has an article coming up in the next issue about the construction, so look for that on Thursday for more details.

The Friends of the Weaverville Library will screen the film “The Future of Food” at the Weaverville Library on Tuesday, August 12 at 7 p.m. Learn how genetically modified foods have found their way onto grocery shelves without being tested or regulated; how large corporations are cornering the market on food staples and patenting them so small farmers have to use their seeds. If you’re interested in local or organic food, or if you just like to eat good food, you need to see this film! A seed exchange will take place before and after the film, so bring your favorite seeds or pick up some new ones. For more information, call 250-6482.
