Economic indicators for the Town of Payson

Current economic indicators for the Town of Payson can be reviewed as follows:

The missing perspective

Reading the debate on the issue of creationism vs. evolution, I never cease to be amazed by those who reject evolution, who seem to have a very limited view of the capabilities of our Creator.

Thanks for kindness

The family of Glen Jaco wishes to acknowledge with deep appreciation the many expressions of love, concern and kindness shown to them during their time of bereavement.

Evidence for evolution is lacking

The editor’s note on the letter to the editor titled Creationism and evolution once again raised the question of what is considered adaptation and what is evolution in the microbe to man sense.

I have received word that if even one more item of gun control legislation of any kind comes out of Congress, every gun owner, every gun dealer, every gun distributor, and every gun manufacturer in America is going to hold a “Burn Barrel Day” in the city square.

Council hopes to attract pilotless drones

What a boost to the economy of Payson if we were involved in any way with pilotless drones.

Learning achievement should be priority

Thank you Mrs. Ford! I know you could only scratch the surface of students, but you brought attention and possible solution to a problem.

The morality gang — majoring in minors

Why are we legislating and regulating private morality, while at the same time ignoring the much larger crisis of public morality in America?

Science not questioned or called evil

While I personally think the intelligent design theory has some flaws, it does account for the obvious intelligence in the design of living things.

Fallacies and fooleries

“When the two theories have the same evidence they must both be accepted at equal value.”

What is the world coming to?

One writer correctly points out the mostly unreported illegal gun confiscation in New Orleans during Katrina, when Bush was president.

Hypocrisy or irony?

While State Rep. Brenda Barton was writing her justification for blocking Medicaid for 300,000 poor Arizona citizens, she was secure in the knowledge that her own health care was being paid for by these same citizens.
