Dale spent four years in the U. S. Air Force from 1956 to 1960 at Lowrey AFB, Colorado; Niagara Falls, New York; and Big Springs, Texas as a weapons control system technician on F-102 fighter aircraft.

If you're traveling through the night in Dooly County, you'll want to pay attention to the lane closure this weekend.

Contractors have plans to close a lane on each side of I-75 over night from Friday through Sunday, according to a Georgia Department of Transportation news release.

That's between mile markers 104 and 105. 

If you're driving through the area, you'll want to be cautious and slow down.

Star Bright Animal Rescue is not a shelter, it is a foster- based rescue. They utilize volunteers in the Georgia and New England area to foster homeless animals that would otherwise perish in Georgia Animal Control facilities. Their ability to help animals is directly related to the availability of foster space. Please support your local shelters and animal control facilities first and then let them know they can still help in your search for a new pet.

Star Bright has partnered with ShoeBox Recycling to give old shoes a new life. Have your recently gone shoe shopping? Parents, did you go back-to-school shopping? Ladies, you know you have pairs in there you will never touch, you really need to clean that closet out!
