Millennium Memo “OC Mother Charged After Teen Son Critically Injures 81-year old in emotorcycle crash.” Channel 7 Eyewitness News, April 22, 2026 Last month I discussed children riding e-bikes recklessly, and in one case, a parent being charged by the DA for allowing this to happen. Sadly, it happened again. This time, the District Attorney is pushing for the longest possible prison sentence.

Did You Know?

In June 1846, the Bear Flag Revolt took place in Sonoma, where settlers declared California an independent republic. The “Bear Flag” they raised inspired the state flag we know today. Not bad for a rebellion that lasted less than a month.

This 14-year-old had been “doing wheelies” before hitting a Vietnam War veteran and substitute teacher—and the mother had been warned

by Sheriffs before about this. This won’t end well for anyone involved.

Sorry if this sounds like I’m beating a dead horse, but we’re still getting complaints in Castle about kids riding recklessly, riding without helmets and not following posted street signs. Remember: you are responsible for the actions of your kids.

OK, I’ll get off my soapbox now.

In Happier News •

SPARC, our resident services partner, had scheduled the Master Gardeners on May 7 for a “Succulent & Home Garden” seminar, followed by a FREE dinner, but there weren’t many signups, so that event was cancelled. Oh, well…

On June 10, SPARC is planning a Summer Social, with an educational presentation followed by dinner provided by the Pana Venezuelan 2

Food Truck. You have to be a bit curious about Venezuelan food, don’t you?

Castle’s bonds were once again rated A+ by Standard & Poors. Ok, I’m more excited about that than you are, but that’s great endorsement of Castle’s finances.

•

Castle had its annual Gas Leak Survey, and our gas passed! That’s always a great feeling. We only had 3 minor leaks that were easily fixed. We can breathe easier now.

Fun Father’s Day Memory Many years ago, my two daughters were in a school play together, so of course I wanted to attend.

When I got to the reception table, I was asked: “Do you have any reservations?” “Sure,” I replied.

“But I want to see the play anyway.”

Have a fun Father’s Day! George Turk

Manager’s Corner I am writing to follow up on the recent article regarding the start of a possible seagull issue in Castle. While seagulls are iconic to the beach life we live, they pose significant structural, health, and safety risks to our mobile home community.

The Importance of Vigilance Seagulls are repetitive nesters and often return to the same locations annually as do their generations of offspring. Recently, I observed 2 nest attempts on adjacent homes. One was removed, then the Seagulls quickly started to favor the next door neighbor's roof. Just last year on the roof of an adjacent home, a nest was removed. They came back to the same spot!

It is vital that we monitor both our own roofs and our neighbors’ roofs, as a neighbor often has a better vantage point of your property than you do. If you have a ladder that can reach the rooftop, maybe you can share it with your neighbor. Or when up top, have a good look at other roof tops. Either way, if you notice 2 seagulls in your immediate area or favoring 1 or 2 roofs, this a red flag and you should let your neighbor(s) know encase they are unaware.

Without immediate action, we risk a long-term infestation similar to what occurred across the street at Shangri-La, which lasted nearly a decade. It was out of control insane!

It is imperative to prevent Castle from becoming an annual nesting ground. During nesting season, seagulls become highly territorial and protective of their young. They are known to dive bomb, often targeting those who unknowingly walk near their nests. These attacks can cause injuries, particularly if people fall or panic in response. I've been dive bombed by 2 crows and believe me, not a pleasant experience!

Additional Risks to Our Community - Property Damage: Acidic droppings can erode roofing materials, while nesting debris clogs gutters, leading to leaks and mold.

- Health and Hygiene: Seagulls carry pathogens like E. coli and Salmonella, and their nests can introduce mites and fleas into living spaces.

- Safety and Noise: The constant screeching also disrupts the peace of our neighborhood.

Thank you for being proactive in keeping our community safe and monitoring this increased presence of seagulls.

Truly, Rebecca Mendez, Onsite Manager
