Naked Marines arrested under London Bridge

LAKE HAVASU CITY – Young male Marines were arrested last weekend after fully undressing to leap from the London Bridge into the water at Lake Havasu. Police responded about 3:30 a.m. Saturday after a reporting party advised two naked men had been outside Kokomos at the Bridgewater channel before they ran toward the bridge. A security officer corroborated the civilian report when officers arrived.

Communists are to blame for everything

Dear Editor, I was at Walgreens with a buddy and something happened. I was wearing my Trump hat and a campaign button about veterans. I’d gotten my prescription and was walking back. There was a line waiting. A young politically correct ‘clone girl’, 20- something was offended by my hat. All the rest, older people, smiled at me. I guess I’m a minority, after all America. Sixty-seven percent of you think it would be all right to have a Socialist president! I guess you want all of your freedoms taken away, another communist country. Secret police, political officers, telling you…

K-9 Foundation needs assistance, plans events

Most residents believe the Mohave County Sheriff’s K-9 Program is funded by the state and the county, and that can no further from the truth. The K-9 Program receives no funding from the State of Arizona, the county, or the Sheriff’s Office. It operates solely on donations from businesses and concerned citizens. Because of this, the Mohave County Sheriff’s K-9 Foundation has a continuing need for donations for their ongoing effort to help support the MCSO K-9 Program. “Every month, we pay for their food, their vet bills, and equipment needed such as vests and booties for their feet in…

Hommel’s letter full of hate; reader demands apology

EDITOR’S NOTE: While we at The Standard do not agree with Mr. Hommel’s opinion, we do believe that all citizens have the right to express themselves in print. To censure Mr. Hommel’s letter to the editor would be in direct opposition to America’s values of freedom of expression. Dear Editor, Please allow me to respond to you and my friend Jack Hommel on his column, “Who killed the Democratic Party”. It was hard to read this rant about Jack’s feelings regarding his victimhood that made him demean and degrade good Americans, especially women of accomplishment, who simply have a different…

Can you survive financially?

Dear Editor, Americans are no strangers to hard economic times. Poverty still exists. Millions struggle with financial despair.  The answers are not always easy but here are possibilities. Look into your local community college and see what training is offered. One and two year programs are typically taught in our public community colleges. You might learn a new trade in as little as a year. Community colleges are affordable. Often there is enough federal grant money to cover the entire cost of your study. In as little as a year or maybe two at the most you could be in…
