Earth Hour - Time well spent - 03/30/08 07:27 PM
We did our part Saturday evening to celebrate "Earth Hour". Obviously, this organized world-wide blackout was a symbolic gesture to raise awareness for limiting energy consumption and green living. The true energy savings was a drop in the bucket, but that wasn't the point, was it? For one hour my 10 year old son and I - the only ones home at the time - turned off the lights, tv's and computers, and went out on the front lawn of our Arcadia home and just bonded. I explained to him the importance of what we were doing and what we could do … (1 comments)

Thoughts worth pondering... - 03/30/08 05:13 PM

Arcadia Little League Results - 03/27/08 11:35 PM
The halos start the season 2-0. The Arcadia Angels cruised to a comfortable 11-3 victory over the Yankees in the late Minors game Thursday at ANLC. Brandon Rosvall played the entire game in left-field and finished the night with a base hit to right, a walk, two stolen bases and two runs scored. As soon as I get permission from the other parents, I'll add full game summaries.
Feel free to post scores and game summaries from the rest of Arcadia Little League action. I just ask that you use kid's names only with their parent's permission.

Help Keep the Government from Stealing Your Home Equity - 03/26/08 07:50 PM
The Arizona Association of Realtors has launched a petition drive to collect enough signatures to place a constitutional amendment on the November 4, 2008 ballot. The No New Tax On Our Homes initiative will prohibit the double taxation of your home, land, or commercial real estate in Arizona by banning a real estate transfer tax through a constitutional amendment, once and for all preventing the government from trying to pass bills to steal your home equity. In other states when Real Estate Transfer Taxes have passed, they have never been repealed and the amount of the tax continues to climb. Help let … (2 comments)

Arcadia Business Stories Wanted - 03/26/08 07:12 PM
If you own a business that serves that Arcadia area, I would love to hear about it.

http://www.azcentral.com/community/scottsdale/articles/0326sr-pvcitrus0327-ON.html
I know Barry & Joan Paceley from our involvement in Cub Scouts and I just want to add myself to the hopefully huge list of Arcadia residents who have thanked them for taking the lead on fighting these little critters. Their efforts, and those of everyone who has helped them over the past few years, have made Arcadia a better place to live. You can check out their official Arcadia Roof Rat website at … (0 comments)

Arcadia Little League Results - 03/25/08 10:51 PM
Arcadia Little League is back in full swing and the evenings couldn't be better. If you are looking for some great, inexpensive entertainment, head out to a ballpark in the area on any evening Monday-Friday, or Saturdays morning-afternoon to catch a baseball or softball game and to cheer on our youth. These kids and volunteer coaches and umpires poor their hearts out to play the game with an innocence long lost in the upper grade levels. It's for the pure fun of it. The parents are mostly on their best behavior at this level, cheering their teams on in success and failure.
