We had more to do with Guy Green’s removal from
3WI than the alderman in question. As a long time listener of
“Speakeasy” we felt the show recently stooped to its lowest levels.
We
sent a letter to 3WI explaining our frustrations with Guy Green’s
personal and business attacks and outrageous bashing on Alderman
Scheeler. Guy was on some witch hunt with Mr. Scheeler. I called the
radio show and spoke to Mr. Green about some of the mistruths he was
broadcasting. I was cut off short of finishing and did not get my say.
The personal and business attacks are what got Guy removed from 3WI.
We feel we should be credited in his removal. Right after our letter to 3WI was sent by us, Guy was removed.
We
also feel that Guy himself should be credited for his removal. He
continued doing personal and business attacks on the air when asked not
to.
Give credit where credit is due! I am surprised there are not more people that want to take credit for Guy Green’s removal.
To
the city council of Brainerd this should of never been brought to you
as a issue. Guy Green should be credited with his own demise.

Add commentoh violet
you, my dear, are a problem of society also...why brag about getting someone "removed?"
Is it because you need your 30 seconds of fame in the BLA? Go do something good for humanity and get noticed for a good deed by others rather than sitting on your soap box and spouting off
When and where Violet?
Mrs. Lefebvre what days and times did you call the show? Please let everyone know so we be able decide for ourselves if what you allege is true. You make lots of accusations but are short on details.
Just asking
It's amazing to me that you actually are proud and bragging about getting someone fired. You spoke about mistruths he was speaking about Gary Scheeler, just curious what they were. Are you sure they were mistruths? What if you were wrong and they weren't mistruths?
Would you like it if someone went to your job and did a number like that on you?
I'm not sticking up for Guy here but I will say that what you did and brag about is no better than what you accuse Guy of doing.
No, Violet...
...as hard as it is to believe, I'm pretty sure Gary Scheeler pulling his advertising dollars from 3Wi had more to do with Guy Green being silenced than your letter--after all, money talks. What you seem to be missing is that Scheeler is a public official and not above criticism. What was/is happening in the Garfield neighborhood is a classic case of elected officials ignoring the will of the people affected by an action. Highlighting Scheeler's unwillingness to listen to the concerns of the people that live in that neighborhood was not a witch hunt, it was advocacy for those people who were being politically bullied. It's amazing more environmentalists are not protesting the sidewalk project, because it's going to entail the removal of many irreplaceable trees.
Who is
"We" ?
.
.
you got who removed
you forgot to mention you other half works for mr scheeler an although there is nothing wrong with loyalty its a shame that you feel you deserve all the credit perhabs yall will get a nice bonus,an perhaps one day mr scheeler will not hide behind an attourney an stand on his own two feet an explain his actions.
Well
I learned long ago. Dont believe/trust the french!!
bohica that is pretty funny if he does. WOW
Violet,
you've just lost all credibility - and you precious "credit".
Answers to comments
Where to start, First off, I am the other half of the we and yes I do work for Gary and no there isnt any bonus in sight. Because I do work for Gary does not mean you need to bring my job in to it, I have my own opinion. I have seen some of the e-mails , taken some of the calls and heard from the people that stopped in so I do know both sides.To the first comment, "no", Guy is the problem with society,I have listened to his show since the start and I used to be like you and think that what he said was fact but since this came up I was able to see that what he was saying was wrong,I am currently going back on past shows where he tore apart other people to see how many untruths were involved with them. Guy did not lose a job, by his own admission he wasnt being paid by the station for his show and per the station hadnt had a contract for the past nine months. Garys $50.00 ad a week was not the major ad money that Guy claims was lost.The show I did get on was the last friday show if I remember or the friday before that. And last but not least I was born in Princeton my last name is French but I AM AMERICAN. As for the mistruths, he never asked Gary to be on his show, amount of sidewalks being installed, I could write a book on the rest but it would be as big as War and PEACE.
no wars just facts
perhaps you would like the link to the podcast of the shows of the speak easy mr scheeler was invited to come to the studio an was also invited to call in an voice his side,an just for the record i have no ill will toward either party I just feel an open face to face forum would have cleared alot of the he said stuff between both parties an yet it hasnt happened I dont always agree with either party on thier view points but then thats the wonderful thing about the 1st ammendment which by the way is ever shrinking fast it seems to me free speach isnt so free after all now is it .
bohica
You are right but Gary never listened to the show so he didnt know about the invites a phone call asking him to be on would have worked alot better.I agree that if both would have been on a show together this may have been cleared up alot sooner.
Nice.... It's getting deeper by the minute.
That didn't work out well did it bl? Way to stick it out there for someone like him.
So Brad controls Gary?
"No no don't look at Gary, its about Guy!!! Look at Guy!!! Look at Me!! Look the other way!! Pay no attention to the man behind the green curtain" LOL. Wow, I don't understand how this is going to help you let alone Gary. What does he have on you that would make you so zealous as to throw yourself under his bus? Unfortunately for you I am more curious now than two weeks ago, good move keeping this hot! Does anyone else smell something foul here? I don't think this has anything to do with Guy at all. What are you two doing behind closed doors? hmmmm.
That's o.k Violet. As you
That's o.k Violet. As you find it o.k. for a business to remove their support from another, I also find it o.k. to move my business elsewhere.
I will no longer support Brainerd Country Power & Equipment, nor will I ever spend another dime there. I will ensure I pass my decision to a number of others who will more than likely remove their support from this business.

Nothing foul here,just wanted to get some of the facts out.A real radio host would get the facts straight before airing them.
bohica, update
Link to the podcast as some pertinent dates are missing. Jan 20, 22, 23 and 24, eg. Are not listed.
The most egregious program was after the city council committee met the first time to discuss the sidewalk issue.
Can you find a link to that one, or perhaps it was never placed online.

Shouldn't you be working right now, what kind of service manager are you, playing on Internet during working hours. How can you service peoples equipment efficiently and correctly, when you are messing around here. I'll bet you are sitting on Scheeler's lap right now, in his office, playing on his computer.
What's Up With the Employees, Scheeler.
Hey Scheeler, Last week you called me on the phone and questioned me about some comments I made on this web-site about your employees not liking you either. 15 minutes into the conversation, you told me you had the speaker phone on and Cindy, one of your employees, was also listening. A few minutes later, she came on and denied saying you were a bad person to work for. Now Brad, another employee, has his wife, write a letter sticking up for you. Why are you intimidating your employees into saying and writing these things. Is this an attempt to find out which of your employees is bad mouthing you. It won't work because I am not going to rat out any of them. In order to get my cell phone number, you had to look into my file when I mistakenly made my purchase from you. Apparently you are using any employees names that show up in my file in an attempt to find out who's talking. Well, keep it up because you haven't found the right employees yet. (plural) I also advise you to read up on employment law before you continue down this path of intimidation. You better get in touch with your "let's- sue-em" attorney before you get yourself further in trouble. And don't ever call me again. I don't know you other than the one shenanigan you pulled on me 3 years ago and that was enough. When Guy Green gets done with you, there won't be anything left for me so back off. To quote a famous lib on this website, (Snowda) "you're not stalking me, are you".
What's up with the moderator
allowing southie to print a poster's name? I'm sure that's one of the Dispatch death penalty offenses on here.
Hey Moderator
DITTO FNB above.
charlie and missionary
No one is being intimidated,We just have enough common sense to no right from wrong.and no missionary Gary is out of the office and I can do more then one thing at a time,Why are you on and not working.
Let's stop the degrading of the employees.
I ask you all, please understand that the employees of Mr. Scheeler are being intimidated into covering for themselves. The articles printed and phone calls made on behalf of his employees are only being made to protect their jobs. These are great employees so please understand their position and cut them some slack. I make this statement on my own behalf. Thank You.
Too late southie, to edit.
Between 11:37 and 11:58 you said wildman (AKA ****) and you know it. You edited your post after I said you outed him and now your post is showing 12:26. You should be expelled for identifying a poster. You also outed him a few weeks ago and got away with it.
You want facts?
Fact: Gary Scheeler got caught in a lie at the Garfield school
Fact: The people in NE Brainerd were given promises he cannot deliver on during his campaign.
Fact: Many from NE complained about Gary giving gifts to people in NE during campaign.
Fact: Gary used his position to stifle advocacy for residents in his own Ward.
Seems like the facts are pouring in...still...
Where's the cyber police when a lib messes up.
C'mon Denny. What's wrong is wrong. Put the boots where they belong. DITTO FNB once again.
Oh Violet....
As a person "in the know" about with who Mr. Scheeler went running to leading up to this, it is very, very amusing that you and Brad are attempting to run cover for the individual that signs your household paycheck. I know what businesses Mr. Scheeler bullied, and I know who he talked to at each one. Now, all that being said, you can continue this charade and bring many of us hours of enjoyment if you wish... the fact remains Brad did very little in having the Speakeasy contract terminated. It was the "actions" of a sitting (vacationing) city council member threatening other businesses that did it, lets just call it for what it is, stomping on the first amendment. Mr. Scheeler now has much more on the line than what he did a month ago, he will have to answer for the things he has said and done. The city council is bound by their own charter to have a hearing on this matter, it's now out of my hands for the most part.

It is with great sorrow that I agree with part of what you are saying,our letter probably didnt have as much pull with the station as we would hope for,really most of the credit for the show being pulled goes belong to Guy himself,as for Gary talking to the other people (again)dosnt free speach apply to him,if not why?
Well, well, well
I understanz speelin ain't sum peebles bagg, butt sumdis stuph kin duh portaint.
From the top my friends, Bullying is not tolerated in schools, city business or society in general. Mr. Scheeler involved himself in tactics and means that constitute bullying... and well... that's just the tip of the iceberg for what lies ahead.
OMG
OMG....Lets put a end to all of this. I have worked in the office with Gary for 6 years. For those of you who think you
know Gary - YOU DONT. He is a tough boss at times, but that
is why his business is #1 in the nation for a single store. Yes,
I did just say he can be tough but he is also very sweet and he is extremely funny. He pays his employees well and we are like a family here. Sometimes, like with a family, we have
our differences...but that doesnt mean we dont care. Gary would do anything for any one of us.
Also Gary does his homework and is a man that knows what he is talking about. The residents of Brainerd made a fantastic decision when they voted for him. Let me tell you, Gary is now and will in the future do a great job. The people
that are downgrading Gary, DO NOT KNOW HIM....dont believe until you know the truth!!!!!
I know that every person reading this would protect there family and there business, if someone wrongfully threatened them. Garys family and his business have been threatened. PLEASE get to know Gary Scheeler and learn the truth.
Again, I work for Gary but he is unaware that I am writting this. I would not be worried about my position even if I was
against him....Find out the facts and then you will understand that Gary is a GOOD guy!
