- Not an act of God, just official stupidity
- February 5, 2010
- Back in 1993, a brush fire rushed out of the California chaparral and consumed 400 homes in posh Laguna Beach. The flames tore through thick brush, leaping 50 feet in the air and generating temperatures of 2,000 degrees.
- Payson is in trouble
- February 5, 2010
- We were burglarized Jan. 20. The policeman told us this is the biggest problem right now with businesses and residential homes.
- The president’s so-called State of the Union address
- February 5, 2010
- There are two kinds of people who still vote and support our fearless leader and his agendas. There are the so-called smart ones and the not so-called smart ones. The so-called smart ones know exactly what his agendas are, socialism.
- Thanks for sponsorship
- February 5, 2010
- The Navajo County Sheriff’s Posse would like to thank the following sponsors in Payson for their support of the 52nd ride of the “Hashknife Pony Express.” The major sponsors for the 2010 ride are the Mazatzal Hotel and Casino, Tonto Apache Tribe, Buffalo Bar & Grill and Bob’s Western Wear.
- 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.
- School board will face tough decisions
- February 5, 2010
- It is not surprising that with the economic downturn, we are experiencing financial woes. It is also surprising that the Payson Unified School District will be short because of a budget deficit in our district. But it is surprising that teachers and support staff are likely to be hit.
- President has come to his senses on energy policy
- February 5, 2010
- I may not always agree with our president, but after hearing his State of the Union last night, I’m glad to see that he has come to his senses on energy policy.
- School bond is needed
- February 5, 2010
- As a recently retired teacher from Payson Unified School District, we would like to encourage the citizens of Payson to support the school bond election by mailing in a yes vote! Our children, the future of Payson, and their deserving, dedicated teachers desperately need your positive support.
- You can’t spend what you don’t have
- February 5, 2010
- The president recently announced he would freeze certain types of federal spending in an effort to save approximately $250 billion over the next 10 years. Over that period, deficits are projected to accumulate to $9 trillion. So, with this “spending freeze” in place, we will only spend $8.75 trillion that we don’t have.
- During the war, we were one people
- February 5, 2010
- I’ve said this before, but it bears repeating. When I was a kid in New York City, you could have looked high and low trying to find someone who thought of himself as Italian-American, German-American, or whatever-American. You’d have had no luck. None at all. We were all just Americans.
- Unsecured load hazard
- February 2, 2010
- We have all driven behind a vehicle with several inches of snow and ice on the roof of their vehicle without thinking of the risk that we take if that ice would come loose and hit the front of our car or windshield.
- Payson Elementary thanks groups for holiday support
- February 2, 2010
- When Payson area schools call for assistance, our community is quick to lend a hand. Even during these difficult economic times, local citizens, businesses and organizations came through again this year in helping to make many children’s Christmas a warm and joyful holiday experience.
- Support Ed Blair
- February 2, 2010
- I’ve got a candidate I can truly support for town council and that’s Ed Blair. What most of us want from our elected officials is integrity, willingness to listen and consider our opinions, and a thorough understanding of the issues at hand. I can tell you from personal experience that Ed Blair exemplifies these traits which is a good reason to re-elect him to town council in March.
- Crews worked countless hours to restore power
- February 2, 2010
- With the past storm, I am sure you have received many letters and phone calls about the great people who have pitched in to help each other. I too would like to thank the crews from APS in Pine/Strawberry that put in the many hours to restore the electricity in our area.
- Spending time at the hospital
- February 2, 2010
- I recently had the opportunity to spend time in Payson Regional Medical Center and Payson Care Center. We should be proud of the care by the staff of our local facilities. Each and every person gave thoughtful, kind and special attention, both during my stay and continues to do so in my outpatient therapy.
