Kearny physician’s medical license suspended over

By James J. Hodl Copper Basin News A Kearny doctor has had his medical license suspended by the Arizona Medical Board (AMB) following interim findings that he continued to write prescriptions for controlled substances including opioid pain medications in violation of an earlier AMB order. Dr. Jeff Crawford M.D., who practices at offices at 351 Airport Rd., Kearny, has since stopped seeing patients but indicated on a telephone office recording that he will challenge the order at a subsequent AMB administrative hearing. Such a hearing will take place within 60 days after the suspension order issued by AMB on January 4. Dr. Crawford is only one of four physicians to have their licenses to practice allopathic medicine (essentially Western medicine) in Arizona suspended by AMB over allegations of overprescribing controlled substances in the past year. Opioids such as oxycodone and hydrocodone are highly addictive to patients if not properly rationed and could result in patient death by overdose. In scores of cases, patients addicted to opioids have switched to less expensive heroin.

AMB opened the case against Dr. Crawford on May 12, 2017 after receiving a complaint concerning his care of a 58-year-old male patient (identified only as CE) alleging excessive prescribing of opioids. Between June 2010 and May 2017, it was alleged that Dr. Crawford prescribed multiple opioid medication for CE including oxycodone, hydromorphone, fentanyl patches and morphine sulfate ER; concurrent with prescriptions for benzodiazepines and carisoprodol. On May 12, 2017 alone, CE was reported to have received prescriptions for 120 oxycodone (20 mg) pills, 300 oxycodone (15 mg), 300 oxycodone (30 mg) and 60 hydromorphone (4 mg) pills. This resulted in a daily morphine equivalent of 827 mg. This was in addition to other earlier prescription pain meds. A medical consultant who reviewed Dr. Crawford’s care of CE testified to AMB of “multiple deviations from the standard of care including failure to establish a legitimate purpose requiring controlled substance medications, prescribing inappropriate dosages requiring controlled substances, failure to appropriately monitor CE for

aberrant medication usage, and failure to document any improvement in pain and function. Patient CE was at risk of potential harm including addiction, adverse medication reactions, overdosing and death versus diversion to others creating similar problems.” During the initial investigation, Dr. Crawford was slow to respond to AMB requests for information on CE’s treatment and supplied those records only after 10 requests in writing and by telephone. Dr. Crawford subsequently didn’t attend an AMB hearing on the complaint on December 6, 2017. As a result, AMB sided with the testimony against Dr. Crawford and voted unanimously to limit his medical license by prohibiting him from prescribing controlled substances pending the outcome of a formal hearing. But then AMB received information that Dr. Crawford continued to write prescriptions for controlled substances. Subpoenas to local pharmacies found that as of December 22 Dr. Crawford has issued at least 41 prescriptions for controlled substances since December 7 when AMB’s

alleged overprescribing of opioid pain medications summary restriction order went into effect. This evidence resulted in AMB citing Dr. Crawford for unprofessional conduct and summarily suspending his medical license pending an administrative hearing. Dr. Crawford has held a license to practice allopathic medicine in Arizona since 1989. His practice in Kearny is reported to serve many satisfied patients. On the WebMD website, Dr. Crawford is rated at the maximum Five Stars based on three responses. During the past year, less than half the 99 complaints made against medical professionals AMB investigated and issued reprimands involved improper prescribing of controlled opioid medications. In such cases, the doctor might get a letter of reprimand and an order for additional medical education. In the worst cases short of license suspension, a doctor would have his ability to write prescriptions for controlled substances suspended for a period of time. Rules governing the prescribing of controlled opioid medications were tightened last year by the Arizona legislature and Gov. Doug Ducey to combat what has been called the opioid epidemic. A Ducey spokesman last fall said opioid addiction was killing about 100 Arizona residents a month. Under a new law that went into effect last October 1, a

Prescription Monitoring Program (PMP) was created. Prior to prescribing opioid analgesics or benzodiazepine, a physician must obtain a patient utilization report for the preceding 12 months from the PMP controlled substances PMP central database tracking system to verify past usage of these substances to make a substance abuse risk assessment. These potential risks, adverse outcomes and complications associated with the use of opioids must then be explained to the patient, along with alternatives to use of prescribed opioids. Physicians who prescribe opioid pain medications outside of a hospital are required to prescribe no more than five days’ worth (20 pills). This requirement also applies to dentists whose patients have undergone oral surgery. Medical personnel including physicians, physician assistants and nurse practitioners will be required take a three-hour seminar on the new regulations and the proper prescribing of controlled pain medications. Gov. Ducey has proposed legislation that would permit bystanders to call 911 if they come upon a person who seems to be suffering a drug overdose without fear of subsequent prosecution. To combat the opioid epidemic in Pinal County, the Sheriff’s Office is working with the U.S. Drug Enforcement

PCSO warns of a jury duty scam Pinal County, AZ – The Pinal County Sheriff’s Office wants to let the community know of a scam impacting people in the county. The department has received reports about people receiving calls from various law enforcement agencies claiming the individual has a warrant out for their arrest because they have missed jury duty. The individual was instructed to pay money to avoid arrest.

Kearny Police Report According to state law, there are two methods by which police may arrest suspected offenders. The suspect may be physically taken into the department and booked into jail, or the arresting officer may write a citation and release the suspect to appear in court later. All suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Only criminal citations are listed. All damages are estimates. Activity listed from Jan. 14-20. Jan. 14 Kathryn Johnson, 33, was arrested in the 300 block of Alden Rd. on a warrant. She was released after seeing Judge Orzell. Jan. 16 An unattended death was reported in the 300 block of Danbury Rd. Jan. 17 Melanie Stacy, 41, was arrested in the 300 block of Alden Continued on page 10

Agency (DEA) through its Heroin Enforcement Action Team (HEAT). According to Sheriff’s spokesperson Navideh Forghani, when a call results in the discovery of a drug overdose, HEAT personnel secure the scene so that DEA agents can conduct an investigation. Also, through HEAT, the Sheriff’s Office is setting up a program to eliminate some threats of illicit drug use by encouraging people who have unused opioid pain medications to get them out of their home by taking them to designated Medication Drop-Off Sites, Forghani said. In Eastern Pinal County these sites are at the Superior Police Department, 734 W. Main St., Superior; the Sheriff’s Substation at 63701 E. SaddleBrooke Blvd., Suite C, SaddleBrooke; and the Sheriff’s Substation at 28380 S. Veterans Memorial Blvd. near San Manuel. Eventually such drop-off locations will be in all Sheriff’s Office Substations and Walgreen’s drug stores throughout the county, she added. Medication drop-off containers are also available at the Kearny Police Department and the Mammoth Police Department.

Shop Local, Buy Local and Support Local

bout a year ago I began writing this column. I had written a column before, when I was serving as Mayor of Kearny, in which I endeavored to keep people apprised of town happenings and give everyone a “heads up” when something important was taking place. Along the Gila has a broader focus which is to write about events in this area stretching from San Manuel and Oracle to Kelvin and Superior. Even though I have not met my own hopes for the column, I am gratified with the reception it has received and I am thankful to everyone who has helped keep me current on happenings in the area. A year ago I renewed a pledge I had made to myself to shop locally and support our local business community. The renewed pledge has been met successfully. Except for four instances during long trips around Arizona, all my gasoline has been purchased in Kearny, Winkelman, or Mammoth. Norm’s IGA in Kearny has met 95% of my culinary needs, and the flower shop and delicatessen meet my desires. I switched all my prescriptions (save one) to the Kearny Health Mart with no appreciable increase in expense, and enjoy having wise and caring pharmacists to talk with. The NAPA store has saved me hundreds of dollars. ACE Hardware almost always meets my hardware needs. I don’t eat out as much as some people, but I prefer local options to fast food of

any kind, and I like not having to drive miles to eat a meal. I did very well until Christmas shopping popped up, and I was fearful that Phoenix or Tucson would be my only options. But, just as we had Sears and Roebuck and Montgomery Wards catalogues in my small town childhood, so today we have online shopping. It’s fast, cheaper than a trip to smog-infested Phoenix, and it supports our local post office too. My shopping locally hurt the big box stores and the malls in urban Arizona, I am sure. But my local shopping meant that my dollar accomplished more good in the community, for the taxes I paid were local, the local stores made more money, local people gained employment and they, too, paid taxes locally and bought items locally. If a dollar is spent locally, it benefits many people. Take the local shopping pledge. No, not everything is here. But as Garrison Keillor wrote about the fictitious Ralph’s Pretty Good Grocery in Lake Woebegon, “If we don’t have what you need, you probably didn’t need it anyway.” And, I may add, if you shop locally you will find that more is available than you realized. On to other things. Rabid coyotes and foxes have shown up in Tucson, Oro Valley, Mammoth, Dudleyville, Kearny and Kelvin recently. Arizona Game and Fish posted a warning to watch for animals in unusual places or acting unusually. Keep your animals under watch, and make sure that they have been inoculated. The coffee pot is on every morning at the Copper Basin Chamber of Commerce. Stop in to see Director Veronica Bracamonte and to share ideas for the area. Personally, I am taking a sabbatical of six months or so

Changing Times

want to first add a few of Annie Forbach’s memories of how it was along Aravaipa Creek as she was growing up where her family, the James Brandenburgs, had settled in 1888. She wrote that great numbers of people came to the Aravaipa for camping and to enjoy the cool climate, as well as the fresh fruit, vegetables, and melons during the summers, and that the creek was a good attraction for everyone to wade, bathe, swim, and fish. She also wrote that before she went away to college, her mother and she kept boarders through the summers in their nine-room house. Annie also wrote that her family’s fruit produce was marketed in Hayden, and the fruit was delivered to the depot in Winkelman and shipped by train to Kelvin and Ray. Also, that Henness,

Giffin, and Leonard had stores in Winkelman, Kelvin, and Ray. The Brandenburgs had previously done business in Mammoth, or Dudleyville which was just a store and post office, after which they went to Winkelman for their shopping and mail. Annie wrote that they always passed the ruins of old Camp Grant, and the walls were not very tall, no roof, only the door and window openings, but evidence was all around the buildings of the past. Sometimes old cartridge shells or soldier uniform buttons were found. Annie wrote that after she was a teacher in Winkelman for the second time, she had a teacher friend, Ruby, who taught at a small mining camp, Chilito, about 15 miles from Winkelman, and Ruby had about 30 pupils in her school, all grades and mostly Mexican

children. Chilito also had a post office and store. Annie also mentioned Mr. Chittendon, the manager of the mine and camp, who kept the men working at the mine and supervised the ore hauling to the mill at Hayden. She wrote that the ore was brought from the mine by numbers of pack burros that carried the ore in pack boxes and transported the ore to a loading platform where it was loaded on the wagons and taken by team to Hayden. How things had changed! They had changed for Annie, too! She wrote that during her last year of teaching in Hayden she had met her future husband, Albert Forbach, who then was working in the Wells Fargo Express Office at the Hayden Depot, and they were married on May 19, 1918. It was from their son, Alvin Forbach, that I was

LAND EXCHANGE Continued from page 5

ASARCO is offering 7,304 acres of private land for 10,976 acres of BLMadministered public lands. These public lands are near or adjacent to existing mining operations at the Ray Mine Complex near Kearny. The 7,304 acres of private lands include lands in Pinal and Mohave counties. If the land exchange is approved the private lands will be added into BLM Managed public lands. The lands in Pinal County include, the Gila River at Cochran Parcel, which is 320 acres and contains a segment of the Gila

River Riparian Management Area. The majority of the lands in the exchange are located in Mohave County. Those parcels include the Knisely Ranch Parcels (160 acres) , Sacramento Valley Park (120 acres), Tomlin Parcel (320 acres) and McCracken Mountain Parcels (6,384 acres). Some elected leaders in Mohave County have expressed concern that the exchange adds more public lands to their county which will not be able to be developed for commercial purposes. Both the

Kearny and Hayden Town councils have approved letters of support along with the Copper Corridor Economic Development Coalition and the Southern Gila County Economic Development Corporation. The 10,976 acres that ASARCO would receive from the exchange will include 8,196 acres that would include a surface and mineral estate, 2,780 acres are listed as mineral estate only. These lands will be referred to as “Selected Public Lands” according the BLM and they are listed as desirable to ASARCO because they are

adjacent to or near ASARCO’s current mining operations and they currently hold valid mining claims on these “Selected Public Lands.” ASARCO is expected to conduct mining operations on these lands. The public hearing in Kearny was the first in a series of meetings. Public hearings were held in Tucson, Gilbert and Kingman, Arizona.

Public Notice

PINAL COUNTY Public Hearing Regarding Use of CDBG Funds The County is expected to receive approximately $139,241 in FY2018 federal CDBG funds from the Arizona Department of Housing Regional Account (RA). The County may also apply for $300,000 in FY2018 CDBG funds from the State Special Projects (SSP) account. CDBG funds must be used to benefit low-income persons and areas, alleviate slum and blight or address urgent need. Based on citizen input as well as local and state planning objectives only one potential project has been selected to be forwarded to the State of Arizona with a request for funding. A public hearing will be held at the regular County Board of Supervisors meeting at 9:30 AM February 28, 2018 at Board of Supervisors Hearing Room, 135 N. Pinal St., Florence, AZ to discuss the potential projects. It is expected that the County Board of Supervisors will select the final project at this hearing and adopt applicable resolutions. The potential CDBG projects are named and described as follows: 1. Owner Occupied Housing Rehabilitation- Pinal County plans to assist approximately four (4) qualified homeowners with rehabilitation services with FY2017 CDBG funds.

CVIT

Continued from page 4 Education Districts (JTED) in Arizona. CVIT District originated with Miami, Superior, and Hayden-Winkelman School Districts in year 2000. In 2006 voters approved San Carlos Unified School District to join CVIT and Globe Unified School District in 2008. CVIT’s most recent member district to join was Ray Unified in 2017. Mrs. Gregovich-Benton is a great supporter of students and families in the Copper Triangle area and enthusiastically welcomes new school districts and lends support to CVIT administration to provide career and technical education opportunities for kids. A few community, state and national activities that reflect Franceen’s commitment to the community and schools include: member and leader of Globe-Miami Chamber of Commerce, Board Member of Cobre Valley Regional Medical Center Foundation, Board Member of the Tri-City Fire Department, Member of Arizona Slavic Association, past member of Miami School Board, past president of local chapter of Arizona Cancer Society, volunteer for March of Dimes, Easter Seals volunteer, and High Desert Humane Society volunteer. “Franceen will be the first one to tell anyone that she works with other strong and dedicated CVIT board members to provide high school students opportunities to succeed and be productive members of society,” said Mr. Pete Guzman, Superintendent of CVIT. “The whole Board’s priority is our students,” said Franceen, “and we are committed to assuring that they have all the materials and tools needed to successfully complete their programs and enter the workforce with confidence.” CVIT is one of 14 voter approved public Joint Technology Education Districts in Arizona. CVIT is serving students in Globe, Miami, San Carlos, Superior, Kearny and HaydenWinkelman communities, supporting Career and Technical Educational (CTE) Programs in those communities’ high schools. CVIT also has two central campuses, partnering with Gila Community College and Central Arizona College to deliver programs for college credit. Some of these programs include Nursing Assistant, Medical Assistant, Welding Technology, Cosmetology, Dental Assistant and Fire Science, all of which have no cost to the students. Enrollment for 2018-2019 school year opens soon. Students must be at least sophomore level to participate in the college programs. Home schooled, charter and online school students are also welcome to apply. For more information please contact Executive Program Director Mike O’Neal at 928-242-1907 or email: mo’neal@cvit81.org.
