Dear Editor, Maybe it is the water, or the lack of critical thinking on behalf of readers of The Standard, but I certainly have to wonder about Mr. Nelson’s claim of being a White Nationalist Christian, who says he has had an afterlife experience (see his letter in the Sept. 25 edition of The Standard). Perhaps someone can explain how a Christian can believe an entire race of dark skinned individuals are inferior, as White Nationalists do, and still claim to be Christian. This is not the first time I have seen this ideology reported in your newspaper. I believe…

Dear Editor, Snip and Tuck, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation that raises the much-needed funds for spaying and neutering the pets of low-income veterans, low income seniors and anyone who otherwise can’t afford it. Why? After working with a local non-profit, I came to realize just how many dumped, abandoned, unwanted and abused dogs and cats there are that are filling our rescues and shelters.

If not for the…

This is for those of you who don’t believe that God exists, that religion isn’t relevant in our enlightened society. For many years my friends have urged me to write this. There is an afterlife, I’ve been there! I was a millennial once. When I was 22 I lived in Tigerd, Ore., my hometown. I’ve also lived in Eugene, Ore. I worked for a window washing company…

Dear Editor, Where are all the young adults? I cannot help but notice the deteriorating number of young adults, age 18- to , in our community. Over the last two years, I have decided to spend some time finding out why they are leaving. Their responses have painted a grim image of hopelessness, as they have been unable to find their place in a town that seems set on growing old instead of growing young. Kingman is being robbed of the influence of these dynamic world-changers as they continue to vanish because they are simply being ignored. For nearly two…
