4 JUNE 2023 EDITOR’S NOTE We’re kicking off the June edition with a huge shout-out to all the father figures out there: Happy Father’s Day to you all. Take a load off from building that tree house – you’ve got the latest edition of Arcadia News in your hands! Flyfishers will be happy to know that a new fly fishing business is opening on 40th Street and Thomas in June. Pheasant Tail Fly Fishing is the creation of locals Clint and Amber Woods and will be stocked with rods, reels, flies, packs, boots, wading gear, sunglasses, outdoor apparel and more. I sat down with Kevin Robinson, the new City of Phoenix District 6 Councilman, to learn a little about him and the issues he’s currently working on in our city and beyond. Folks can get a behind-the-scenes look at the former Phoenix Police Chief and his plans for the future. A group of students at Arcadia High took “helping hand” to a new level, raising money for their government teacher Mr. Clayton Guy, whose wife recently underwent heart surgery. In one month, they raised over $5,000 – and that number is still climbing! We’d like to congratulate all the graduates of our local schools and wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.

JULY Summer AUGUST Back to School SEPTEMBER Fall Sports “Good dads forgive your mistakes. Great dads help you hide them from mom.” – Bill Gray 1. Winston, our 6-year-old Pomeranian, has been with us his entire life. Since publishing his children’s books, Winston the Traveling Dog , he prefers to eat any food with flavor and spice for his meals (Thai, Indian, Italian, Mexican, you name it). We aren’t quite sure what to do with his sophisticated palate! -Cynthia F. 2. Riley is a Shih Tzu-poodle mix. He is turning 15 this year. Riley loves to play fetch and cuddle. He also functions as a vacuum cleaner whenever any food falls on the floor! -Kristen Z. 3. My name is Baxter and I am the fur child of the family and may I say one lucky dog. I say lucky because I destroyed many doors and baseboards, and they still loved me anyway! I was won at the Hopi School Auction and have been ruling the house ever since. P.S. I am now perfect and don’t destroy anything. It’s too much effort and I would rather take a nap. -Shelly B. 4. Our names are Reese and Scout. We live with Craig, Michelle, Ava and Eliana. I (Scout) am 5 and my sister (Reese) is 6. Our immediate family thinks we are super awesome. But our grandparents think we jump on them too much! -Craig G.
