Thank you for reading The Standard newspaper online!

Yearning for the good ol’ days

Every now and then, I drift in my mind back to when I was a kid. I remember when we had penny candies, hamburgers for a quarter and sodas for a dime. Boy have times changed. No longer do the prices we had growing up reflect how the American lifestyle existed. It’s a shame that the kids today won’t remember their good ol’ days. Their memories will not show how America once had the guts to stand against the bad guy. Remember superman? Babe Ruth and baseball? Remember how families were united and had pride in the workforce, military and…

Dear Residents of Hospital District #1 of Mohave County,

A little over two and a half years ago I read a small article in the paper about an upcoming election for our hospital district with two seats up for reelection. Come to find out the election wasn’t going to take place until November. The article stated that the hospital district only owns the original 26 acres and Kingman Hospital Inc. owned 38 properties. I wasn’t happy with the direction the hospital was going so I started attending their meetings. In the year-and-a-half that I have served on the board, I have learned a lot and it’s not at all…

Kingman Parks open for COVID-19

I heard that the City of Kingman has opened Centennial Park as of July 11 for baseball tournaments. The tournament bookings are more than quadruple what they were in January 2018. The City Council is bragging how much this will fill our hotels and restaurants. Already we have restaurants that are not having their staff wear masks and even have one with an open buffet and salad bar. Talk about inviting problems. Has the City Council discussed this with Kingman Regional Medical Center to see if they are ready to handle this disaster in the making? The COVID-19 virus cases…

Make Sex a Priority

COVID-19, national tensions, unemployment and a strained lifestyle change have been tough.       One of the best things couples around the world can do right now is turn off your phones and televisions and have sex.  Couples more than ever need to refocus on sexual intimacy. The news makes us feel bad. Politics makes us feel bad. Religious issues drain us. National tensions are draining us. Unemployment, money problems, family worries and more beat us down. You’ll feel better if you have sex. Your relationship will be better if you have sex.  Before you were married, you could hardly wait to…

Thunder-Rode response to Mayor Jen Miles interview with Travis Rains

Dear Mayor Miles: Thank you for your kind words in the article that was written and in which Mr. Travis Rains apparently quoted you. I sent him a nice email congratulating him on a nice job with his piece. I was sorry to note that you found some of my comments to be inflammatory and that you were disturbed. Certainly not my intention – far from it. I don’t know how else one could describe these people that want to destroy our country, tear down our monuments and relics, change our history and to incite and invite hatred within our…
