I want to commend Kelley Crutcher for having the courage to speak out about property taxes.  

I hate property taxes more than any other tax because you do not really own your home/land as long as you have to make a yearly payment to the government just to keep it.

Homecoming Friday night began with smoke and fireworks, but the 5-0 start by the Carroll County Panthers football team is anything but smoke and mirrors.

The Panthers took the field amidst a spray of smoke and fireworks with junior Sarah Beach singing the national anthem. The stands were rocking with a huge crowd to see the Panthers defeat the Walton Verona Bearcats 32-13.

The Carrollton Police Department is investigating a series of break-ins that occurred during the weekend at area businesses.

Most of the break-ins were discovered as business owners arrived to open for business on Monday morning, according to Assistant Chief Steve Abbott, who with Patrolman Tim Gividen, responded to the dispatches.

The first call came in at 6:15 a.m., from NAPA Auto Parts at 618 Highland Avenue, Abbott said. A back door to the business had been forced open. It was discovered that about $300 had been taken from the cash register.
