Our congratulations to Joni Millin and the Kingman Downtown Merchants Association and Matt and Pam Wanner (The Standard Newspaper) for putting on such a wonderful event, which lasted until 9 p.m. and provided several hours for…

Dear Editor, You would think newspaper publishers might fear earthquake, fire, famine, war, pestilence, maybe even divorce. But, to their credit, they flinch at none of that. What they tremble at most, more than death itself, is free speech, at least one huge sector of that public landscape. I write to publishers and their hand-picked editors regularly about every topic under the sun and they willingly entertain it, except religion. Even when the writing is done in a non-denominational, non-partisan, just-the-facts-ma’am kind of way, they turn their backs and go find a rock to hide under. I have a few…

Response to Rick Simpson Dec. 1 Letter

Pam Wanner5 years ago2 mins

Dear Editor, In response to Mr. Simpson’s letter in the 1st of Dec. edition of The Standard: you proved my point. Ask a conservative to explain their (what seem to me) illogical policies and you will not get an answer. My original questions asked why you thought “people like Bezos, Buffett, Musk, Trump, and Soros, etc. get by with paying little to no tax” (including giant corporations as well)?

Dear Editor, We are unfortunately informed once again of another horrific, senseless school shooting. They don’t stop. When will the next one be? Who will be the next shooter and who will be the next unsuspecting victims? Once again, American kids go to school to pursue education and American life but are murdered by a classmate while walking the hallway or sitting in a class. This has to stop. Will it ever? According to news reports, on Nov. 30, 2021, Ethan Crumbley, a fifteen-year-old, took the lives of four schoolmates and injured seven others at Oxford High School, a Detroit,…
