'Mormon' term often misused
It seems like just when the mainstream LDS Church gets some accurate media attention, another "Mormon" story blasts onto the scene, spawning a flurry of sound bites that often confuse those who live outside Utah. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for years has waged a vigorous public relations battle to gets its message across with award-winning TV commercials and well-received interviews of President Gordon B. Hinckley by such television personalities as Mike Wallace, Tom Brokaw and Larry King. Then comes something like this week's arrest of Warren Jeffs, the leader of a secretive polygamist sect that in no way is connected to the LDS Church but considers itself the true standard bearer for the beliefs set forth by LDS Church founder Joseph Smith. Jeffs, who has been on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list, faces criminal charges in Utah and Arizona that center largely around his alleged insistence on presiding over "marriages" between underage girls and older men who practice polygamy.

Perhaps one of them could apply for the job and let Braxton be on his way. Greed on display It would have been nice for Ameren to wait for the ink on the rate relief checks to dry before it asked for another increase. Ameren is greed. Time for a third party What a choice we have for president. You can vote for a Republican and vote for war and a bad economy, or you can vote for a Democrat and vote for amnesty for illegal immigrants. Now is the time for a third party. Too many chiefs Collinsville Police hired four additional officers. However, they promoted two officers to new lieutenant positions. This means only two officers will be added to patrol the streets. This is not even one officer per shift. They now have a chief, two assistant chiefs, two lieutenants and five or six sergeants to supervise about four or five patrol officers per shift.
Scottsdale nightlife will be in spotlight
But Scottsdale has bought its way to the top of the Super Bowl party list with $1.4 billion in downtown redevelopment that is hitting its stride just as a revolving array of celebrities make their way into town. The Hotel Valley Ho, Scottsdale Mondrian, Hotel Indigo and nearly completed W Scottsdale Hotel have added a new element of stylish urban lodging to the city. New restaurants with award-winning chefs and nightclubs have moved into the gallery and entertainment district. Shops, offices and luxury condominiums now line the once-barren canal banks that cut across the area. The Scottsdale club scene seems to be ahead of efforts to boost nightlife in Glendale and downtown Phoenix, which largely revolve around the major sporting venues. And Scottsdale's nightlife, which appeals to a broader demographic, has surpassed that on Tempe's Mill Avenue with its narrow college-student focus.
