It appears it will be another long meeting for the Quartzsite Town Council next Tuesday. Mayor Ed Foster has placed Items which were pulled from the Nov. 13th's agenda back on Tuesday's agenda. There are 14 new business items, including a presentation regarding solar grants awarded to the Town awarding of $12,000 Economic Development Funds, and four Planning and Zoning requests. The link to the whole agenda is below:

Quartzsite Senior Center weighs in on "us vs. them"
President, Quartzsite Senior Center:
The Quartzsite Senior Citizens Center (QSC/Senior Center) was organized for educational, recreational and entertainment purposes, for enrichment of the lives of the senior citizens of the community. QSC strives to maintain a congenial and stress-free atmosphere by disallowing offensive behavior and confrontational discussions.
During the short time I've been involved with the Senior Center that all seemed to be working pretty well. Until this past spring. A result of the unrest in Quartzsite is that some QSC members stated in March and April 2011 that they would not come to the Senior Center anymore as long as The Desert Freedom Press remained available there. This concern was discussed at some length at the April 2011 QSC Board Meeting where it was decided that individuals have the choice of reading or not reading any publication available at the Senior Center. (The Desert Messenger has been available for quite awhile, as well as the Quartzsite Crier News.)
The "us vs them" situation in Quartzsite is serious enough without using who-reads-what criteria to add to it. I miss the members no longer coming to the Senior Center and invite them to return to socialize and have fun with all of us again. I don't care what publications they read or ignore. I only care about our members and the pleasure of their presence.
Wayne Wilson
Quartzsite Senior Center President
