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.
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.
Falsely accused
February 2, 2010
This past Friday night I was at home with my family minding my own business. My sons and I were sleeping by 9:45 p.m. My fiance was visiting our neighbors in the next building over. On Saturday afternoon about 4 p.m. there is someone beating on my front door. My fiance opens the door to see a Payson Police Department officer standing there.
Support only fiscally responsible candidates
February 2, 2010
The parallels of the Great Depression and today’s economy are remarkable. While there are some differences and the causes vary, the government’s approach to recovery is quite similar. I wonder then, what can we expect for results?
Town should be proud
February 2, 2010
One new industry in 10 years. Our town should be so proud.
