Serious about gun control
Planter Monday, July 30, 2012: 11:25 am	Would you mind if I put a sign in my front yard with an arrow pointing to your house advising everyone that you have no means of protecting your family and property. Remember, when seconds count, police are only minutes away.

Judge denies modification for convicted molester
Planter Wednesday, April 6, 2011: 5:07 pm	A Hoosier: I wonder how that little girl feels about that crime. I doubt 14 years have wiped away her pain. From what I have read, child molesters never recover. That is my understanding of why these restrictions are in place for convicted child molesters.

Weekly recalls: Candle sets, resistance tubes and double strollers
Planter Monday, March 7, 2011: 11:06 am	Looks like almost all recalled products were produced in China. We need to remember, China produces cheap products without quality control. Your safety is of no concern to China.

Former Brooklyn marshal Carlyle arrested
Planter Monday, December 20, 2010: 8:07 pm	Milton Frank Sams and Chie-Chie Boles have endangered Brooklyn by their past support of Carlyle demonstrates their complete lack of concern for the citizens. I hope everyone remembers this next year when they try again to get back into office. Three (3) seats will be open. Keep reminding your friends and family at every opportunity. Please keep this message in circulation.

Carlyle out, Hester in at Brooklyn
Planter Sunday, December 19, 2010: 10:30 am	Carlyle is everything a law enforcement officer should NOT be. A bully, intimadates the people less able to resist and uncooperative in the town business. Also from the public record he is known to be most unfamiliar with telling the truth.

Brooklyn rehires Carlysle
Planter Thursday, December 16, 2010: 10:40 pm	I sincerely hope the residents of Brooklyn will make every effort to tell Sams, Newman and Boles exactly what they think of their performace. I can't believe the Nazarene church still employes Sams. Sure underminds their creditability.

Dell to preach at Trinity Church of the Nazarene
Planter Saturday, October 23, 2010: 8:54 pm	Hope Brother Dell takes the measure of Frank Sams at the so called Brooklyn Nazarene Church. Bet it is not his idea of what a church should be.

Planter Wednesday, October 20, 2010: 10:55 am	Bob Downey is an excellent choice for sheriff. I believe him to be an honest and up-standing citizen. A necessary component to be a good public offical.

75 white shirts show up at Brooklyn Park

Planter Friday, October 15, 2010: 6:36 pm

Thanks to all who attended. Sams is a disgrace to the church he claims to represent. If any members of the Nazarene faith observe this unfit minister, I hope they will complain to their leaders. Sams wants Carlyle back in power so he (Sams) can get a reserve badge, uniform and a car so he can drive to Mooresville and get a discounted meal. Sams owns no property, has no job, other than the church, and is a most disagreable person. He has attended less than half the Council meetings since January, 2009, but still collects a check. What a guy (not).

Brooklyn reserve plans rally for marshal
Planter Saturday, October 9, 2010: 2:38 pm	Brooklyn residents! Your vote has never been more important. Please voice your opinion.

Brooklyn marshal files complaints
Planter Friday, October 8, 2010: 3:12 pm	With enough publicity perhaps the Nazarene Church management will do what it should have done long before now, remove Milton Frank Sams. By the way, Sams made the Christian Hall of Shame for his ungodly antics.

Brooklyn marshal files complaints
Planter Friday, October 8, 2010: 11:35 am	Sams,Boles and Newman seem to be dedicated to making Brooklyn the armpit of Morgan County. The three have done nothing positive for Brooklyn. Marshal Hester has done many things to improve law enforcement and community relations in his short time of service. Far more than Carlyle has done in his entire career.

‘Impacting’ their fellow man at Mt. Gilead
Planter Wednesday, September 1, 2010: 9:02 pm	What a wonderful contribution to the community. Thank you Mt. Gilead

Brooklyn’s new marshal wants honest, open department
Planter Monday, August 23, 2010: 4:41 pm	Marshal Hester is 180 degrees from Terry Carlyle. Brooklyn now has a chance to move forward if we can replace two worthless board members, Frank Sams and Chie Chie Boles. They have consistently ingored factual inmformation. Wonder what their motive has been. Best of luck Marshal Hester.

State trooper saves kitten at busy intersection

Officer Johnson gets increased punishment

Planter Tuesday, July 6, 2010: 8:41 pm

Martinsville management????? If you have done any reasearch at all, you must know you are as wrong as wrong can be. You are only jumping on the emotional response of those who are Monday morning quaterbacks. Real reasearch is a great tool for decision making. Nothing the police could have done would have been right and you are subjecting public servants to the moods of unknowing people. Please use your heads for something besides a hat rack. Thank you for your time. Respectfully, Planter

City should stand by its men

Planter Thursday, June 24, 2010: 8:37 pm

Thankfully a cooler head did prevail. Folks all too often react with the heat of emotion rather than thoughtful study. People who have first-hand experience with children with these issues clearly understand the impossible problems associated with this illness. Perhaps the state's educational systems needs to be revamped to better deal and place these children. They need to be in homes better equipped and educated to handle these situations rather than rely on the police on duty at the time. Nothing the police could have done would have been the right answer to this. Thank you for reading.

Police should be fired

Planter Thursday, May 13, 2010: 5:38 pm

I sincerly hope cooler heads speak out about children with this type of disability. I have talked at length with a family that has such a child. If you don't have first-hand experience, I don't think you should make such judgements. I agree such punishment sounds horrible at first blush, but I would urge you to seek information from people who deal with these issues on a daily basis. You may be amazed at the level of difficulty. Thank you.

Town cancels former marshal’s hearing
Planter Wednesday, May 12, 2010: 4:04 pm	I suspect Caryle was afraid of the exposure the hearing would bring. I sincerly hope the exposure will come and he will never be put in a position that requires honest and responsible conduct.

History repeats itself
Planter Saturday, May 1, 2010: 10:26 am	Great opinion piece. The members of the board who support Carlyle are not fit to serve and should step down.

Brooklyn town marshal sues for back wages
Planter Wednesday, April 14, 2010: 5:22 pm	This stems from a second set of time cards signed, in secret, without the boards knowledge, by Frank Sams and Chi Chi Boles. Ms Boles admitted this in a public meeting. Wonder what their cut will be should the claim prevail.
