SHOPPING AT COSTA MESA BUSINESSES MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER!

SHOPPING AT COSTA MESA BUSINESSES MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER!

By Larry Weichman, Chairman of the Board Costa Mesa Chamber of Commerce

When the “Costa Mesa: A Great Place To Shop!” promotion was first created in October 1994, sales tax revenue collected by Costa Mesa businesses funded nearly 36% of the City’s budget. The size of this contribution by business that pays for city services was significant enough for the Chamber to encourage all residents to frequent Costa Mesa businesses whenever possible rather than make their purchases in other cities. The reasons: shopping Costa Mesa helps to fund police and fire services; street maintenance and upgrades; parks and recreational programs; and, for that matter, all services provided by the City. It is even more important today to realize the contribution of the retail sales tax to Costa Mesa’s budget. Recent year’s data indicates that the sales tax contribution to the City’s budget has grown to nearly 44%. Additionally, local businesses provide much needed jobs and give back to the community by supporting local organizations.

Shopping at home in Costa Mesa is not a burden. The quality and variety of retailers, restaurants, hotels and services are everything that one could desire. With this in mind the continuation of “Costa Mesa: A Great Place To Shop!” makes a lot of sense – both to encourage patronage of all city businesses and to highlight the contribution of all our businesses to the well being of Costa Mesa. Please shop those business's that are members of the Costa Mesa Chamber, your purchases here in town provide important revenue to the City of Costa Mesa!

Sixth graders from Costa Mesa commit random acts of kindness!

We are so proud of this Weichman Realtor's client!  He is one of the fine teachers at our Costa Mesa schools!  Please read this article courtesy of the Orange Count Register!

A good deed could involve opening the door for a senior, making a card for a child coping with an illness or treating a struggling neighbor to dinner.

For 34 Adams Elementary School sixth-graders, it meant committing random acts of kindness at the Target store on Harbor Boulevard in Costa Mesa this morning.

"We're surprised to see all of the kids," said Target shopper Veronica Rabago, who along with her husband Ecequiel seemed stunned to receive the $25 giftcard from the Adams Elementary School students. ELLYN PAK, THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER

Divvied into groups of four, the students - who collected recyclables and got $100 for the bottles - went up to random strangers and gave them $25 gift cards to continue passing on the love.

One group of kids marched to the back of the store in search of their stranger. They whipped around and followed a couple that eventually stopped to hear the kids' message of paying it forward.

"We're surprised to see all of the kids," said shopper Veronica Rabago, who along with her husband Ecequiel seemed stunned to receive the gift from the gaggle of children.

They had raised enough money to purchase $25 for random strangers, the students read from a letter. In turn, the recipients were encouraged to do something nice for three other people that day.

Their teacher Matt Broesamle wanted to teach them the concept of paying it forward, especially during the holidays, and to remind them that despite their socio-economic backgrounds, they should be grateful for what they have in their lives.

"I just love giving things away," he said. "It feels so much better to give than get things."

The children decorated boxes and collected $95 worth of plastic bottles. Broesamle added in some money, rounding the collection to $100 - enough to buy four gift cards for their project. Adams students also recently sold 600 candy grams and raised $300 for patients at Children's Hospital of Orange County.

"(Broesamle) is phenomenal at creating a culture of responsible students and citizens," said Principal Candace Cloud.

The act of kindness was swift. The children gave out the cards and regrouped at the front of the store, twittering about the events. Many of them said they would go home and continue to do nice things for their family members.

Eleven-year-old Anthony Banos of Costa Mesa said he felt great after giving the card to a random woman who was shopping for her children. The stranger was on the verge of tears, Banos said.

"I feel a hug coming on," Banos told the lady, who promptly gave the boy a hug and thank you.

Coyote Activity Bullet

 

City of Costa Mesa Police Department Animal Control

COYOTE ACTIVITY BULLETIN

 

 

This bulletin is to advise and warn residents about coyote activity in the Costa Mesa area. Several residents have lost their pets to these skilled predators because they were not aware of coyote activity in the area. Others are concerned about recent sightings and the potential consequences of predatory animals within the urban environment.

Coyotes are found in ALL areas of Orange County. They are a native animal and a critical component of the ecosystem. Contrary to popular belief, these animals do not require open space or wild areas to survive. In fact, most coyotes within the urban setting are the offspring of generations of coyotes who lived and flourished in the urban areas of Orange County.

 

Though they are far from domesticated, coyotes are very comfortable living alongside human beings. They have little fear of man and are frequently seen in close proximity to joggers, bikers, and inside residential areas. While not normally a danger to human beings, coyotes will display defensive behaviors if threatened or cornered, therefore, it is important to leave a comfortable distance between you and a coyote. Small pets can easily become coyote prey. Cats and small animals should not be allowed outside alone, even in a fenced yard. It is highly recommended that their owner always accompany small pets. Though coyotes generally hunt between sunset and sunrise, they can be observed at all hours of the day and will not pass up the opportunity for an easy meal. A dog or cat can be taken from a backyard enclosed by a six-foot high fence or wall in a matter of moments.

 

The following steps can be taken to protect you and your pets from nuisance animals like coyotes and other wildlife:

• Fence off animal enclosures (fully enclose if possible).

• Keep cats and small dogs indoors or in the close presence of an adult.

• Feed pets indoors. 

• Store trash in covered heavy-duty containers.

• Keep yards free from potential shelter such as thick brush and weeds.

• Enclose the bottoms of porches and decks.

• Eliminate potential food and water sources, such as fallen fruit and standing water.

 

If you do encounter a coyote that behaves aggressively, you have probably gotten too close to its prey or its family. Increase the comfort zone between you and the coyote. Coyotes behave in a manner similar to domestic dogs that are defending their territory and family. All children should be taught from a very early age that they should avoid strange animals, whether domestic or not. They should never attempt to feed a wild animal and they should be instructed on coyote safety, such as discussed here.

 

If coyotes begin frequenting your neighborhood, let them know they're not welcome. Make loud noises, throw rocks or spray them with garden hoses. For everyone's safety, it is essential that coyotes retain their natural wariness of humans.

Eradication and/or relocation of the urban coyote is not effective. These types of programs actually provide a vacuum in nature that causes these animals to have even larger litters and ultimately increase the coyote population. Coyotes are beneficial in keeping balance within the ecosystem by controlling the population of other small animals and rodents.
