- Essential that school staff to pull together after override defeat
- November 7, 2008
- The citizens, albeit by a very small margin, have chosen not to support the override. These are tough economic times for many, that is a given and well understood by all of us in the school district; however, for Payson Unified, the challenge to provide both a quality and comprehensive education just became more challenging. I’m not saying this to complain or grumble about the electorate.

- Two good officers should not be called names
- July 18, 2008
- Mr. Gnader, a tired 83-year-old man who we all knew was just a little off his rocker, committed one of the most heinous crimes in the history of our nice little town. It seems that Mr. Gnader was a full-blown schizophrenic who suffered from severe bouts of paranoia and depression.
