- The president’s so-called State of the Union address
- February 5, 2010

- Green Valley Park is a great place
- February 5, 2010
- We must respond to the letter in Tuesday’s Roundup complaining about Green Valley Park. Often referred to as “The Crown Jewel of Payson” (and rightfully so, I might add), it is hard to comprehend how someone can call the park “unusable.” We use it at least four times weekly for walks and thoroughly enjoy it. We wholeheartedly thank all the town employees who work so hard to keep it so nice.

- The Louisiana alligator as big game
- February 5, 2010

- We were burglarized Jan. 20. The policeman told us this is the biggest problem right now with businesses and residential homes.
- Severe meltdown in Pine, Strawberry
- February 5, 2010
- The snow must have the elk reaching near desperation for good food sources. Last week, several of them managed to “break” into the horse barn and finding a large metal garbage can full of chicken feed, they proceeded to assault it. Apparently they were unable to pop the bungeed lid off, so they shoved the whole thing out of the pen, and proceeded to thoroughly smash it before eating every last bit of grain! We found the can battered and flattened underneath the trampoline — the lid and bungee cord nearby.
