COYOTES ARE BACK!
Since the start of this year, there have been numerous sightings of coyotes in our community. (Credit to Jane Jensen of Sp 29 for the pictures).
We would like to remind everyone, please do not feed coyotes and do not leave food and/or water outside of your home. It is ILLEGAL to feed coyotes. If you see someone feeding a coyote, report it to 714.754.5252.
If you see a coyote, after waving your arms, jumping and yelling (hazing), please report sighting to the Coyote Cacher online to help keep track of sightings.
Please be careful when you’re outside especially with your pet(s). You may want to use coyote repellent, airhorn, pepper spray etc. to prevent coyotes from getting near you or your pet(s) and from coming to your yard.
Thank you for your cooperation in addressing this issue.

PROTECTING YOUR HOME & PROPERTY TO KEEP OUR PARK SAFE TAKES ALL OF OUR HELP!
KEEP YOUR YARD CLEAN AROUND YOUR HOME.
Do not leave paper and mail in the mail box or other items lying around your home. You never want to leave the impression you are not at home. Lock bikes up.
OBSERVANT NEIGHBORS may be your best defense against burglary. Ask neighbors to keep an eye out for your property and offer to do the same. If you don’t know your neighbors on both sides, behind and across the street introduce yourself and exchange phone numbers.
If you are leaving sight of your home, even for a short time, lock your door. It only takes a criminal a moment to see you walk away and enter. You don’t want a surprise when you return.
IF YOU SEE A CRIME BEING COMMITTED YOU SHOULD IMMEDIATELY PHONE 911.
While crime prevention is everyone’s responsibility, you should never try to resolve the issue yourself. Try to get a description of the person and/or vehicle for the police. Try to get license number and/or description of car. If a crime has taken place in your residence, do not enter the dwelling.
***DON’T HESITATE TO CALL THE POLICE. IT IS BETTER TO BE WRONG THAN SORRY. THE POLICE WANTS YOU TO CALL.

The very essence of leadership is that you have to have a vision. You can't blow an uncertain trumpet.

Learning is about more than acquiring new knowledge. It is also crucial to unlearn old knowledge that has outlived its relevance. Forgetting can be as important as learning.

It is difficult to know what counts in the world. Most of us count credits, honors, dollars. But at the bulging center of mid-life, I am beginning to see that the things that really matter take place not in the boardrooms, but in the kitchens of the world.
Allen Sledge
A great attitude does more than turn on the lights in our worlds. It seems to magically connect us to all sorts of serendipitous opportunities that were somehow absent before the change.

Communication Problem
A farmer went to the attorney's office and said he wanted to get a divorce. The attorney asked if he had any grounds.
"Yeah, I got about 240 acres," the farmer said. The attorney replied, "But, I mean do you have a case?"
"No, I have a John Deere."
"Well, do you have a grudge?"
The farmer said, "Yea, I got a grudge. That's where I park my John Deere."
"No, I mean do you have a suit?"
"Yes, sir, I got a suit. I wear it to church on Sundays."
Next, the exasperated lawyer asked, "Well, sir, does your wife beat you up or anything?"
"No, we both get up about 4:30."
The attorney finally asked, "OK, so why do you want a divorce?"
"Well," said the farmer, "I can't have a meaningful conversation with her!"
