Hi
Looks like we will have perfect "yardening" (a mid-west term that combines yard work [the kind of yard work you have to do] and
gardening [the kind of outdoor work you like to do] weather for the next few weeks. New blooms are on roses and bushes throughout Rossmoor. Take a walk one evening and see for yourself. Summer can't be far away.

LA Fitness Health Club @ The
Shops |
The Shops at Rossmoor and LA Fitness have resubmitted essentially the same proposal that was withdrawn last fall to build a 37,000 square foot facility in the parking lot behind Sprouts.
The developer has completed a
draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and it has been release for public comment until Monday April 24th. Please read and comment to the City of Seal Beach.
The health club is expected to be operating from 5:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, 5:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. on Saturday, and 8:00 a.m.
to 8:00 p.m. on and Sunday.
This EIR is long (920 pages) and was produced fairly quickly (in about 6 weeks) so is well worth a read and please do comment to the City with your concerns if you have any.
Coalition Against LA Fitness Project The
non-profit Coalition Against LA Fitness (CALAF) is raising funds to help represent the Rossmoor and Seal Beach residents and shoppers who frequent the Shops to be heard. To find out how you can help support CALAF, please see their website, Facebook group and Go Fund Me page.

Are You Breeding Mosquitoes in Your
Yard? |
After our rain this winter or even after you run your sprinklers, your yard could have new and potentially hazardous breeding grounds for mosquitoes.
Mosquitoes breed in standing water – as little as a bottle cap full will do. Anything that will hold water can for 5-7 days can become a breeding ground.
In fact, according to the Orange County Vector Control, about half of all mosquitoes in Orange County come from
residential yards. Do you have a tarp that collects water in the folds? That’s a favorite breeding ground. so are buckets, pails, old fountains, ponds, boats, car and boat covers, old tires, cans, boxes and bottle caps. Seriously, anything that can hold water is a potential breeding ground.
Be a good neighbor and check your yard with using this
simple checklist!!

It could save or at least extend your life, plus you'll get to meet some really
great people. And that is a huge win-win. Come join us! The Rossmoor Walk & Talk is open to all ages. The more the merrier - Invite your friends and please spread the word. Rossmoor Walk & Talk meets are held every Tuesday at 10:30 AM at Rush Park. If you have questions, please email Bernie

Coyote sightings in Rossmoor have decreased over the past couple of months. This decrease is typical for the time of year. Unfortunately, it does not indicate the coyotes are not in Rossmoor. They are still here.
For those of
you who have made reports, THANK YOU. You are helping us track coyote behavior which is critical to any future removal attempts.
Please continue to be careful with your pets (keep them indoors or within your sight, and NO NOT leave pet food outside after feeding time).
Our Rossmoor Wildlife Watch program is continuing to collect reports and monitoring coyote behavior and movement based on these reports. Please continue to report any coyote activity you see on the
Rossmoor Wildlife Watch website.
If you would like to find out more about our Rossmoor Wildlife Watch program and discover what we are doing, please sign up for more information.
The coyote challenge we face here in Rossmoor and throughout Southern California does not have a
magical "fix it" solution. It will take a community effort (that's you and me, not "them") to keep our pets safe and reduce the risks in our neighborhood. Please learn what you can do at your home and for everyone in Rossmoor.
