Extreme Energy Solutions Green Cleaner Product, Extreme Kleaner Launches in Shakelton NAPA Auto & Truck Centers

Extreme Kleaner, the non-toxic biodegradable multi-purpose cleaner degreaser, by its parent company, Extreme Energy Solutions, will be available at all Shakelton NAPA Auto & Truck Centers starting in January 2019. Both companies, Shakelton NAPA Auto & Truck Centers and Extreme Energy Solutions are strong supporters of the local-regional racing community and have in the past supported Bethel Motor Speedway (NY) as division marketing partners.

Each Shakelton NAPA Auto & Truck Center retailer store location will offer both formulas of Extreme Kleaner, and selected store locations will offer Extreme Energy Solutions Extreme Xtra Fuel Treatment product line.

"I think the Extreme Kleaner program is robust for independently owned retailer business, as they (Extreme) focus much attention to marketing the product," commented George Shakelton, Proprietor and Founder of Shakelton NAPA Auto & Truck Centers.

"We are glad to have Shakelton on board with Extreme Kleaner and Extreme Xtra," contributed Nick Stefeno, with Extreme Energy Solutions, "Shakelton NAPA Auto & Truck Centers have most certainly proven themselves as a leader and trend setter in the auto parts business, and we are proud to Partner with Shakelton. There obviously is a similar culture between the two companies and that connection is racing."

Shakelton is the Proud Sponsor of DIRT Car Driver Danny "Doc" Johnson, who drives the Shakelton NAPA Auto & Truck Centers Modified in various Super Dirt Series Events throughout the Northeast. Be alert to the latest news.

Extreme Kleaner by Extreme Energy Solutions is the Proud Marketing Partner of ARCA/DIRT Car Driver Tommy Vigh Jr., who has competed in the Street Stock, Pro Stock, Sportsman, and Small Block Division during his career on Dirt; and made his ARCA debut June 15, 2018. Vigh calls Orange County Fair Speedway (Middletown, NY) his home track. Read this here.

Another major cultural similarity between the two companies: they both began their entrepreneurial journey out of a garage.

George Shakelton began his Shakelton NAPA Auto & Truck Center business in 1983 out of a garage in his home town of Hancock, New York.

Fast forward to 2018, and Shakelton NAPA Auto & Truck Centers have ten brick and mortar locations which span over five counties in New York and Pennsylvania. Shakelton's latest store expansion includes his Middletown, New York location, at 68 Dolson Avenue, whereas Shakelton took over a former Advance Auto Parts location.

Other Shakelton NAPA Auto & Truck Center locations include:

Extreme Kleaner also got its start as a local brand, where in 2012 it was packaged and made available for consumers throughout the local area in selected retailer locations. Fast forward to 2018, and Extreme Kleaner is available in over 500+ retailer locations nationwide, including Shakelton NAPA Auto & Truck Centers.

Extreme Kleaner, the Main Street Premium Brand since 2012, is available in two formulas: a multi-purpose cleaner-degreaser; and glass, tile and more formula. Extreme Kleaner has been vetted by National Sanitation Federation and by the US Bowling Congress.

Extreme Xtra Fuel Treatments are available in selected hardware, auto parts, and general stores. Extreme Xtra, available for both gasoline and diesel powered engines/vehicles, first made market entry in 2009, and since has experienced a re-branding practice that has rolled out over the course of the last two years.

"With the Shakelton-Extreme Partnership in place, Bethel Motor Speedway and Accord Speedway race fans and track attendees that find value in Extreme Kleaner and Extreme Xtra Fuel Treatments can be redirected to obtain their supply of each product at a Shakelton NAPA Auto & Truck Center location nearest to them," concluded Stefano.

A portion of every sale of Extreme Kleaner is dedicated toward assisting local and/or regional causes. Former causes which received the benefit of this initiative include Project Help, a cause aimed at helping to eradicate Veteran Homelessness; STEM Education, the performing arts, and non-profit educational forums for environmental and economic sustainability. The product's parent company, Extreme Energy Solutions has also helped sponsor local 5k runs for many good causes.

Extreme Energy Solutions, Extreme Kleaner, and the SMART Emissions Reducer are proud partners of Daytona International Speedway and Daytona 500. For more information visit http://www.ExtremeEnergySolutions.net or http://www.ShaksAuto.com

We will continue with our commitment to superior and innovative products and fantastic customer service. It is an honor to be named to this prestigious list and we will continue to operate under the premises of thoughtful growth and innovation."

"The Original Granite Bracket® began when it became apparent that the industry regarding hidden granite countertop installation was lacking an affordable and viable way to get hidden countertop support brackets for the stone countertop support and bar top overhangs, which have become so popular with fabricators, installers, designers, and homeowners. After years of owning a granite fabrication and kitchen design center we decided to address this need and started designing hidden countertop support brackets made of American Steel right here in the USA to support overhangs on granite and stone countertops," Rick Hersey stated.

"Our annual evaluation of vetted data offers a 360-degree analysis of top privately-held companies across a multitude of industries," explains Jason Feifer, editor in chief of Entrepreneur. "They are deemed successful not only by revenue numbers, but by how well-rounded they are. The companies that make the list have pushed boundaries with their innovative ideas, fostered strong company cultures, impacted their communities for the better, and increased their brand awareness."

The Entrepreneur360™ List includes 360 small businesses that have mastered the art and science of growing a business. Honorees were identified based on the results from a comprehensive study of independently owned companies, using a proprietary algorithm and other advanced analytics. The algorithm was built on a balanced scorecard designed to measure five metrics reflecting major pillars of entrepreneurship—innovation, growth, leadership, impact and business valuation.

In just a few weeks, the National FFA Organization will celebrate National FFA Week – a time to celebrate FFA members and share with others the exciting story of the organization that provides the next generation of leaders who will change the world. More info here.

National FFA Week is a time for FFA members to host a variety of activities to raise awareness about the role the National FFA Organization plays in the development of agriculture's future leaders and the importance of agricultural education.
As part of the weeklong celebration, the organization will encourage members, supporters and others to share reasons to give to the organization on Tuesday, Feb. 19 – Give FFA Day!

Give FFA Day is an annual 24-hour campaign encouraging the public to support various needs impacting FFA members. Last year, the National FFA Foundation raised more than $161,000 in one day! This year's goal is to raise $200,000. Members and supporters are being urged to share why they support FFA on social media, by using #GiveFFADAy and set up their own fundraisers.

So, just how does FFA influence FFA members? Bella Culotta is just one story of how the organization has a global impact.
As a senior in high school from Ithaca, N.Y., Bella joined the TST BOCES New Visions FFA Chapter and quickly developed a passion for international agriculture. Bella then received an all-expenses-paid trip to the three-day Global Youth Institute hosted by the World Food Prize Foundation. Furthermore, she was selected for an eight-week internship in Nepal where she worked on a solar-powered irrigation pump to improve the quality of life for those who lived in the region. Bella is now attending Cornell University and is considering a double major in applied economics and management with a career ambition of being an agriculture development consultant. Her goal is to educate others on the global food system.

"There are seemingly endless opportunities in FFA. You can do and see so much with the blue jacket, and that is not something to take for granted," says Bella.

Bella's story is just one example of how a year in FFA can change a young person's life. National FFA is committed to offering programs to promote career preparation and leadership development, agricultural literacy, and teacher recruitment and retention.

The National FFA Organization provides leadership, personal growth and career success training through agricultural education to 669,989 student members who belong to one of 8,630 local FFA chapters throughout the U.S., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

New Commode from Weaver Furniture Sales Mirrors Pre-Running-Water Era

In the genre of furniture that conjures memories of different places and/or time periods comes the Granny Mission Amish Three Drawer Commode. The unit from Weaver Furniture Sales in Shipshewana, Indiana, is reminiscent of commodes that existed in France, England and the US before the era of running water. Read here.

The Amish designers and builders of the commode included the key elements of commodes of an era passed. These features include a towel bar and a large, flat countertop – on which a washbasin and water jug were placed. Like the commodes of the 18th century, the Granny Mission commode has drawers and a door. However, this 21st century commode is not equipped with a chamber pot behind the door! A commode with a mirror and small towel rack is optional.

The Granny Mission Amish Three Drawer Commode will add a touch of nostalgia to any home. It also will make a great conversation piece. The commode will work superbly as an extra vanity in a master bedroom or guest room. Also, the harp-shaped towel bar is an ideal spot for placing a nice towel or displaying craft work.

As with most pieces offered by Weaver, the Granny Mission Amish Three Drawer Commode has some noteworthy convenience and reliability features. For example, all three drawers open full extension. So users can enjoy easy access to every corner of each drawer. Also, the Amish cabinetmakers constructed the upright joints of each drawer with dovetail joints. These joints are renown for strength and durability.

The commode's Amish cabinetmakers are among the best in the Midwest. Also, they use quality regional hardwoods, such as oak, maple, cherry and hickory. Their Amish furniture builders also integrate tried-and-proven skills handed down from their ancestors. As a result, the commode is incredibly sturdy and durable. In fact, with proper care, it will easily become a family heirloom.

Customers can order the commode as shown. Or, they can request custom features like the wood specie, wood stain and type of hardware. Also, the Granny Mission Amish Three Drawer Commode can be ordered using the Weaver website at http://www.weaverfurnituresales.com. Or, shoppers can visit Weaver's 'brick and mortar' store in Shipshewana, Indiana. The large Weaver Furniture showroom is located 1/4 mile south and 1/4 mile east of the junction of State Road 5 and US 20 in Shipshewana, Indiana.

Weaver Furniture Sales is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday. The store is closed Sunday. For more information, visit Weaver Furniture Sales website. Or call 260-768-7730.
