Page 4 Winter in Quartzsite It's that time when the Heat Pump switches from AC to heat. Long pants and jackets are seen on locals and even some Snow Birds. Notices of meet- ings, just plain gatherings and musi- cal affairs abound. The smell of wood burning is in the air and the sun sets earlier in the evenings. OPINION The Senior Center is busy, the Food Bank is busy and the dump is open on Wednesday. I know the socially cor- rect name for the dump is supposed to be, Transfer Center, for my gen- eration old habits are hard to break.

Winter has at least one good thing that happens, besides Vendors and Snow Birds. The grapefruit, lemons and oranges start to ripen. Elmer F. London Quartzsite Kid's Korner at QES Today we saw the wonderful work- ings of some of our winter visitors. This week we had Kid's Korner at the Quartzsite Elementary School.

Recently we were talking with some folks who were back in Quartzsite for the winter; they have done this for some time now. We asked what brought them here in the first place, they answered "we had friends that had already spent 4 winters here and asked us to come and visit", and we were hooked immediately. They then said "it was more fun erosity of folks; we look after one an- other, give willingly of our time and resources. back then with all the venders in tents and all. In the next breath they did say "the new streets and the light on 95 and Main Street are nice." What hasn't changed is the gen- ert let someone know where you are going, what time you will be back and take water, food, flash light, cell phone sturdy shoes, and jacket and if you do get lost or break down stay with your vehicle. Remember, if going out on the des- furry friends.
