Luther Conway “Skip” Shelton born March 12, 1923, in Cleveland, Ohio, turned 90 this Mar. 12, 2013.
Skip, as he is known, is a decorated WWII veteran and part of what the writer considers the “greatest generation” – those who gave all to save the world from dominance by Germany and Japan. Skip was raised in Greenville and joined the Air Force in 1943, halfway through the war. He trained as a pilot in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Alabama, and Florida. Skip attended bomber school in Washington State and was sent to England later in 1943.
Don't Use E15 Fuel if Your Car is Older Than 2012

The Warning Comes from AAA and Several Car Manufacturers. E15 is Coming to a Station near you Soon. Beware! It can Void Your Warranty and Destroy your Engine.
The EPA has approved adding 15 percent alcohol to what is called “regular gas.” It is supposedly fine for use in 2013 models, but very harmful to vehicles manufactured before 2012.
The Obama Administration is pushing it because it complies with their environmentalist agenda. It destroys the older gasoline burning cars they hate and promotes the sale of new small cars such as the Chevy Volt that government pays people to buy.
Fox Business reported that E15 is currently being sold in Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa. Motorists are warned to be observant when you pull in to the pump and be sure you are not pumping E15 into a car older than 2012. Several car manufacturers have announced that use of E15 will void warranties in their cars, or that they will not pay for repairs caused by the alcohol in E15.

League academy first middle school to implement program
In 1998 on March 24, two boys met up in the woods outside their school in Jonesboro, Arkansas, after one pulled the fire alarm. Armed with thirteen fully loaded firearms, Mitchell Johnson, 13, and Andrew Golden, 11, opened fire on their classmates as they exited the building 100 yards away, killing five. Across the state in Springdale, Arkansas, two men feeling the impact of such a horrific event were compelled to do something to ensure that schools remain the safest place for children to be.
With the help of his friend, Jim Moore, founder of watch D.O.G.S (Dads of Great Students), started making steps in creating a volunteer program for dads to become more involved in day-to-day activities in the school. Watch D.O.G.S., a father-engagement and educational initiative of the National Center for Fathering, was designed to encourage fathers and father figures to be more involved in the educational process. The goals of the program are to enhance school safety and provide positive male role models.
