Recycling group meets March 13

KINGMAN – A recently organized Kingman environmental group, Bring Your Own (BYO), has been established. BYO’s goal is to try to “de-trash” the city with particular emphasis on our relationship to plastics.

The expression of true love

A young man wrote a letter to sweetheart in which he stated how very much he loved her. He wrote: “I love you so much that I would walk across the burning sands of the hottest desert, just to be near you. I would scale the highest mountain; swim the deepest ocean if you commanded it. Love always and forever, John. P.S. I am coming to see you tonight, if it doesn’t rain.” Words used to describe one’s love for another are easily spoken and are often empty and void of meaning. How does one know if another’s declaration of…
