Study: Falcon Field a soaring economic engine

esa has big plans for Falcon Field, already a powerful economic force as the fifth-busiest general aviation airport in the nation with 300,000 take offs and landings per year.

When combined with its international mega-corporation neighbor, The Boeing Co., the

northeast Mesa aviation hot spot generates an estimated $6.8 billion a year, according to an economic impact report included in an updated Falcon Field master plan.

“That is an alternative way, a completely legitimate way, to look at the economic impact of the area,’’ said Lee McPheters, dean of Arizona State University’s W. P. Carey School of Business, who authored the study.

efore sliding into summer break, kindergartners at Jacobson Elementary successfully conducted their own campaign for some much-needed improvements to the school.

After starting their own campaign during the school year, the Chandler Unified School District granted $40,000 to make their wish for a new jungle gym — or three — come true.

Their campaign was the product of project-based learning, in which students and teachers collaborate to find solutions to realworld problems that affect their daily life.

“It’s a big undertaking because these kids are only 5, but they’re experts on play so there was really no one better to go to,” said Ja-

EV psychiatrist runs afoul of 2 medical boards

BY JORDAN HOUSTON Tribune Staff Writer

T

he way the medical boards of California and Arizona saw it before suspending him this month, East Valley psychiatrist Dr. James Matthew Crowley Ryan had other things in mind when three different women

came to him for psychiatric care.

Investigators for the California Attorney General’s office said: When one woman told the Gilbert resident, then practicing in the San Diego area, that she had had an extramarital affair, he “told her that she should have more affairs” – then had one himself with her.

MEDICATION ASSISTED DRUG & ALCOHOL DEPENDENCY TREATMENT

Suboxone • Vivitrol • Counseling

When a second woman told him of her history of sexual assault and panic attacks, he replied “Honey, I’ll prescribe whatever you want” – and made repeated efforts to seduce her while writing her prescriptions for powerful anti-anxiety medications.

The 2018-19 kindergarten classes of Jacobson Elementary School posed with the old playset their hard work will replace. Although they’re moving on to first grade and won’t get to enjoy the fruits of their labors, they’ve left a lasting legacy for the youngsters who will follow for years to come. (Special to the Tribune)

PLAYGROUND from page 1

cobson Principal Liz Wolf.

The current playground, Wolf said, is about 30 years old. Its age shows through some sun bleached and rusted parts, she added.

The once robust playground, filled to the brim with spring riders and other exciting features, has been dwindled down to one play set over time.

“When a part broke or we couldn’t use it anymore it was taken out and just never replaced. So now there isn’t a lot [on the playground] to accommodate all 125 kindergartners,” Wolf said.

Over the years there has also been an extensive amount of wood chips added, which students complained had been hindering their play.

“The kids were very opinionated which we definitely expected, but their opinions were more narrow and specific than we thought they’d be,” said Wolf.

Working out a vision for the new play area began with class discussions about the need for a new playground, and what could be improved moving forward.

After getting students on board, the kindergarteners collaborated and made “thinking maps,” which gave them the chance to solidify their ideas on paper and think critically about each of their suggestion’s level of importance and relevance.

The kids highlighted their concerns for long wait times to use the equipment, and in turn suggested that the new playground offer three smaller, separate areas of play to reduce congestion.

“It was so insightful for us,” Wolf said.

“The adults don’t have to deal with lines for the slides so we had no idea what an inconvenience it was for our kinders.”

Once the children were able to visualize their aspirations for the new playground, they wrote letters to district administrators about the need for an upgrade — with a little help from their teachers.

The districts’ response was of total support and the new playground is set to be installed this summer.

The students will not use the play sets next year as they will move on to the playground designated for first-graders, but their legacy will live on through a ceremony and a plaque commemorating their efforts.

“It was a wonderful lesson that you can make a difference if you work together,” said Wolf.

“They were very proud, like ‘wow we have the ability to make change,’ which is a pretty powerful message. They will be heard, and what they think counts,” she added.

While Wolf is excited to see the kindergartner’s vision come to fruition, she said it is not the first time using project-based learning has lead to great achievements at

the school.

In April, a big rig on I-10 slammed into a vehicle operated by Stacy Sullivan with her three children — all Jacobson Elementary students — and her niece.

Sullivan died from her injuries, and all four children were injured.

After hearing of the accident, fifth-graders at Jacobson voiced their desire to help the family financially and support the recovery of their peers.

The classes used project-based learning to set up a lemonade “buck a cup” fundraiser to raise $380 for the family.

“The project taught them a lot about how to process troubling information, and transform it into positive change for our community,” said Wolf.

The principal said all 150 fifth-graders were involved in generating a plan of action for the fundraiser, marketing the event, tracking progress throughout the day and ensuring supplies remained stocked.

Much like the kindergarten class at the school, the fifth-graders, “felt empowered to make improvements. They learned they can make huge differences when they collaborate and put words to action,” said Wolf.

The principal said next year teachers and staff are going to make an active effort to incorporate project-based learning more often, and encourage kids to make positive change in the community.

Lawmakers fume over veto of bigger allowance

BY HOWARD FISCHER Capitol Media Services

S

ome lawmakers already are exploring how — and when — they can finally get an increase in their living allowances after the governor vetoed a bill that had split the East Valley delegation Gov. Doug Ducey, June 7, vetoed legislation which would have increased from $35 to $92.50 the daily allowance Maricopa County lawmakers get seven days a week when the Legislature is in session.

The bill would have tripled the per diem pay legislators in the other 14 counties receive from $60 to #180.

The legislation was opposed by all Democratic legislators representing the East Valley, but split Republicans in the region.

Supporting the pay grab were Gilbert Sen. Eddie Farnsworth. Mesa Sen. Dave Farnsworth and Reps. Kelly Townsend, Tyler Pace and Michelle Udall.

During the debate over the bill last month, Udall likened the appropriateness of raise to the pay increase teachers received.

Last week, several legislators complained that they weren’t being given the respect they deserve.

Scottsdale Republican Rep. Jay Lawrence said Arizona constituents don’t appreciate their legislators like California’s constituents appreciate theirs.

Noting that lawmakers haven’t had a salary increase since voters approved the current $24,000 a year in 1998, Lawrence said California lawmakers get a per diem of $192 and added: “In California, they get over $100,000 a year, plus automobiles, plus, plus, plus….

So, yeah, I believe we deserve more money because it’s an all-year job.’’

Rep. Noel Campbell, R-Prescott, said the lack of what he believes is proper compensation rankles some of his colleagues.

“It just shows us they don’t think much about us, they don’t consider the needs that we have,’’ he said. “And, the truth of it is, nobody’s looking out for us except ourselves.’’

Campbell, who sponsored the vetoed bill, said lawmakers aren’t trying to line their pockets.

“We have members that are living in motor homes in not-very-nice locations,’’ he said. “And it’s all because of inflation.’’

One question is whether rural legislators, who the governor said are clearly entitled to more, should throw their more numerous Phoenix area counterparts over the side.

“There’s some of our members that

Legislators last month held hearings on a last-minute effort to significantly boost the daily allowance they charge taxpayers during the session, but the bill was vetoed June 7 by the governor. East Valley legislators were split in voting on the bill, with all of Chandler’s six lawmakers voting against it. (azleg.gov)

were really counting on that to help them get through the cost of serving,’’ said Senate President Karen Fann.

“Expenses have just gotten so ridiculously high just trying to find a place to live temporarily,’’ the Prescott Republican told Capitol Media Services.

Ducey, in his veto message, said he agreed with supporters that out-county lawmakers need more, given that they have to find lodging during the legislative session.

“Arizona is the sixth largest state in terms of land area,’’ the governor wrote.

“So, for rural legislators and those representing areas outside of Maricopa County, there is a strong case to be made for ensuring we are appropriately recognizing what is required for them to be here at the state Capitol in Phoenix during session.’’

But the governor clearly was turned off by the fact that the bill that reached his desk also boosted the daily allowance collected by lawmakers who live in Maricopa County. These are lawmakers who can go home every night and have no need for local lodging.

Ducey had another objection to the bill: It would have taken effect later this year, meaning that the lawmakers who voted for it would be the ones who benefit.

“Any change in the per diem rate should also be prospective, and apply to the next Legislature, which will be sworn in on Jan. 11, 2021, following the 2020 election,’’ the governor wrote to legislative leaders.

“I am open to working with legislators on such a change next session.’’

The veto and the governor’s conclusion that Maricopa County lawmakers don’t deserve an allowance increase annoyed Sen. David Livingston, R-Peoria.

Livingston also suggested that the Republican governor may have done himself harm with the Legislature.

“He could have done something like this that would have benefited the 90 members, that would have made working relationships better,’’ the Peoria lawmaker said. “This makes it more strained.’’

Fann said, “Next year, we’ll try something different.”

But she isn’t ready to say the new version should be narrowed to only those who have to don’t live in Maricopa County.

The idea of jettisoning an allowance hike for urban lawmakers to get Ducey’s signature on a bill definitely annoyed Campbell.

“I don’t like the divide-and-conquer thing,’’ he said. “That’s not good politics.’’

It also may not be a winning strategy.

There are 53 lawmakers that live in Maricopa County versus 27 from the other 14 counties. That means it will take at least some of their votes for rural lawmakers to get the allowance boost they say they need.

But Rep. Charlene Fernandez, D-Yuma, said she doubts voters will approve a higher salary “as long as we continue to act the way we do.”

She said there were days in the justcompleted session where the Republican majority, missing one or two key members whose votes they needed, would let the whole day go by without voting on matters.

That still leaves the question of whether proponents of a higher allowance should try again next year with a measure to aid just the out-county lawmakers.

“I would be perfectly okay with that,’’ said Sen. Eddie Farnsworth, R-Gilbert,

who supported the now-vetoed plan.

Farnsworth said he actually would have preferred that be the proposal “but that’s not what the bill was.’’

Rep. Travis Grantham, R-Gilbert, opposed the allowance increase, calling the action at the end of the session “poor timing.’’

But Grantham said lawmakers should not be in any rush to ignore the needs of in-county legislators like himself. He said even they have expenses that can exceed $35 a day, though he said that perhaps the $92.50 was not the right number.

And Rep. Randy Friese, D-Tucson, who would benefit from an increase to outcounty lawmakers, said he sees no reason not to provide some financial relief to his Maricopa County counterparts.

During the debate on the bill last month, some lawmakers were hesitant about increasing the $35-a-day allowance to in-county lawmakers, who do not need a Phoenix apartment.

That allowance is paid for every day the Legislature is “in session.’’ That includes Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays when lawmakers generally do not meet.

Among the foes of the change was Rep. Anthony Kern, R-Glendale, who questioned the “optics’’ of lawmakers approving a sharp increase in their allowance during the last days of the session.

The political risk of voting for a sharp increase in allowance did not escape Rep. Bob Thorpe, R-Flagstaff. But he urged colleagues to ignore that possibility.

“Let’s rip off the Band-Aid,’’ he said.

“Let’s ignore the folks that will beat us up over it, ‘cause it will go away,’’ Thorpe argued. “This will be forgotten.”

Swanky development rockin’ ranch site

BY JIM WALSH Tribune Staff Writer

A

nother nostalgic property that harkened back to Mesa’s frontier past is fading into memory.

The Rockin’ R Ranch, and Old West themed dinner theater, has been torn down and will be replaced by Zen on Baseline, a trendy gated townhouse community.

Rockin’ R Ranch, which closed in December after a 35-year-run, has been leveled so that Pacific Rim Properties can complete a cultural and aesthetic transformation at the 6.9-acre site on Baseline Road, east of Recker Road.

But first the developers must obtain a zoning change from commercial to multifamily residential, with the Mesa City Council scheduled to vote on whether to introduce an ordinance at Monday’s meeting.

The actual decision on the zoning approval would likely occur about two weeks later.

Zen on Baseline would be similar to a new apartment complex in East Phoenix, Zen on 50, and would feature 90 twostory, upscale townhouses with a deck on top of the garage for enjoying views of the Superstition Mountains, or at least Superstition Springs Golf Course.

“It provides the outdoor living concept,’’ said East Valley zoning attorney Ralph Pew. “It really makes it a meaningful spot.’’

He said city planners are often critical of neighborhoods dominated by curbside views of hundreds of garages. The Zen on Baseline plan gives the garage rooftop a

When a third woman came to see a fellow psychiatrist, Ryan intervened and soon started dating her – writing prescriptions for controlled anti-anxiety medications but keeping no records to justify their use.

And after the second patient complained to Chula Vista, California, police in May 2016, Ryan moved to set up his practice in east Mesa.

He told his wife in a handwritten birthday card that he was treating CIA secret agents, that one of the three women is “the highest rated assassin of the government,” that he is “the best psych that the U.S. government has and the only one to fix their agents,” and that he had to move and change his name, investigators said.

new purpose, creating a perfect location for a patio with a view.

Pew said the commercial zoning is likely something created for Rockin’ R Ranch.

“I don’t think anyone would say that’s a good spot for retail,’’ he said A zoning change from general commercial to residential multiple dwellings has been recommended by the Mesa Planning and Zoning Board.

The Zen on Baseline project falls within the flight path of Phoenix Mesa Gateway Airport, with a staff report saying that it is within five miles of the airport.

Pew said the market will determine if Zen on Baseline becomes an owneroccupied development or a rental development. He said residential makes more

ing an extensive investigation by the California Attorney General’s office.

In March, the Arizona Medical Board summarily suspended his license to practice here. The California Medical Board followed suit on June 10, even though it had the results of the AG investigation since December.

In its suspension, the Arizona Medical Board noted that Ryan “denied all allegations documented in the accusation.

Respondent reported to board staff that during the time period covered by the accusation, he was experiencing delirium that affected his ability to recall specific events.”

It also said that last February, he “refused to enter into the practice restriction and that he did not intend to comply with the interim order” requiring that he be examined by a doctor.

sense in the area because there are many nearby job opportunities, including A.T Still University School of Osteopathic Medicine, Banner Gateway Medical Center and businesses locating near the airport.

The Phoenix complex, at 2015 N. 50th St., bills itself as “hip urban townhouse living within minutes of the best Metro Phoenix has to offer.’’ Two-bedroom apartments rent for $1,650 per month and three bedrooms from $1,950 a month, according to the complex’s website.

The developer would be required to tell future owners about the proximity to the airport and to post a 4x4 foot sign in front of the sales office telling potential buyers that the property falls within the flight

That the California board waited until Arizona took action was not a surprise to private investigator Kenneth Kramer, who works for psychsearch.net, an arm of a Florida private investigation company and the world’s largest repository of disciplinary records on psychiatrists who go astray.

“Medical boards can be slow – years sometimes,” Kramer said. “It’s not common for one state to wait for another to act, so, this is astounding! No suspension in California with all the allegations but when Arizona decides to protect its citizens and suspend him, California follows suit. That’s California for you – anything goes - permissive as hell!”

The Arizona board took action quickly because of the seriousness of the allegations, stating “the public health, safety or welfare imperatively requires emergency action.”

overlay district. Developers also would be required to record an aviation easement before a building permit is issued.

The developer would further need to use sound reduction measures, recommended by an acoustic engineer.

Rockin’ R Ranch, operated by Joe Robson, a descendant of a Mesa pioneer family, was a popular entertainment venue in East Mesa for decades.

Robson estimated in a December East Valley Tribune story that his family had performed for three-or-four million theater goers over the years.

But he also conceded that crowds had dwindled toward the end of Rockin’ R’s lifespan and said he was planning to enter the cryptocurrency business.

Zen on Baseline appears to represent a major cultural shift from Rockin’ R Ranch.

It features 17 townhouse buildings, with each ranging from four to eight units, according to a city council report prepared by the Planning and Zoning officials.

The triangular shaped property is bordered by the Roosevelt Water Conservation District on the north, the golf course on the east and a small industrial park to the west. A. T. Still is located a short distance to the west.

The site is valued at more than $3 million, according to the Maricopa County Assessor’s Office website. Future amenities include a large pool, spa, a pit lounge and a “zen garden.’’

Although it will take months to submit drawings and obtain building permits, it made sense to demolish Rockin’ R Ranch as soon as possible to save money on rising construction costs, Pew said.

Arizona Medical Board Executive Director Patricia McSorley explained, “Before the board summarily suspends a physician’s license, it must have evidence to conclude ‘that the public health, safety and welfare imperatively requires emergency action.”

“Once a license is suspended,” McSorley continued. “The board has 60-days to present the case for a full evidentiary hearing …. The physician will remain suspended until such time as the matter is concluded.”

Ryan’s string of malpractice began in 2016 while working as a psychiatrist at Achieve Medical Center in California.

On March 2, a woman scheduled her first appointment with Ryan to talk about her diagnosis, medication and marital issues. A week later, she confessed about

ing by employees, McPheters said.

“For a general aviation airport, that’s really quite significant,’’ he said.

McPheters report said Falcon Field’s impact, at the airport alone, includes 1,486 jobs with an economic output of $434.3 million.

Scottsdale Airpark finished second, with 1,406 jobs and an economic output of $284.2 million; followed by Deer Valley, $196.2 million; Goodyear, $67.4 million and Chandler, $32.5 million.

The number of aviation and non-aviation employees on Falcon Field also tops the other airports with 1,486 workers, comparted with 1,406 at Scottsdale Airpark — the second highest — and 163 at Chandler Airport — the lowest of the five.

In a typical day, Falcon Field sees 767 takeoffs and landings and generates $2.2 million in economic impact. During 2017, there were 719 aircraft based at Falcon Field, mostly single-engine planes; that number is expected to eventually rise to 1,040.

The updated master plan is intended as a document that will guide the airport’s development for the next 20 years.

The plan is required by the Federal Aviation Administration and is used as a launching point for grant requests to the FAA and the Arizona Department of Transportation. The last plan dates back to 2010.

Airport Director Corrine Nystrom said she plans to submit a report that includes

having an extramarital affair.

Board documents state that Ryan told her about his own marriage problems, and said that she was beautiful and “stated he will give her whatever he wanted.

He then continued kissing hers,” the California AG report says.

The two quickly began a sexual relationship and Ryan convinced her to leave her husband, the AG reported.

At some point during the beginning of their relationship, the woman asked Ryan if he could still be her doctor and help with her medication.

In a text message recovered by investigators, Ryan wrote, “Sorry…just saw this…

I’ll prescribe a bottle of happiness…what flavor would you like?”

the master plan and it could come before the council for approval in July.

“You are going to see a lot of improvements going on at Falcon Field in the next two years,’’ she said.

She said that includes a $1.2 million grant from the FAA to improve the connections between taxiways and runways, allowing for better and more efficient circulation of airport traffic on the ground.

The woman’s husband called Ryan’s office around March 22 to complain about his behavior, and two days later she was transferred to another psychiatrist.

Around this time Ryan met with another the second patient, the sexual assault survivor.

She later told investigators that Ryan made her feel uncomfortable from the get-go – hugging her for “too long” at the beginning of their appointment.

Despite the woman’s efforts to set boundaries, including telling Ryan that she didn’t like to be touched, the psychiatrist attempted to hold her hand and rub her legs during their second appointment.

Investigators found that Ryan told the woman he wanted to make her feel better and would prescribe her anything she wanted – much like he did with the first

It’s easy to see why from a chart included in the master plan.

Matt Quick, an associate with Coffman Associates, which authored the plan, said the overall cost of the 10-year capital improvement plan is $27.3 million and that 90 percent of it is eligible for grants from the FAA and ADOT. If those grants eventually are secured, Mesa’s share would be $1.6 million, ac-

He also showed shirtless pictures of himself and talked about his gym routine.

“He told her she did not need to work out because she had a perfect body,” investigators said.

A few days later she reported him to Chula Vista Police.

Wasting no time, Ryan left a handwritten note for his wife on May 8.

He told his wife that she would not be allowed to know his new name or discuss any of the information electronically.

Between February 2016 and January 2017, the psychiatrist wrote nine prescriptions for the third woman for controlled substances, California investigators found.

He had no progress notes to justify any of the medication, according to investiga-

cording to the master plan.

Among the big projects are 5,600 square feet of corporate hangar space currently under construction. Plans for another 8,300 square feet are under review by city planning officials.

The largest of these projects is a 23-acre development by Davcon Aviation LLC and Mesa Hangar LLC that will include 340,000 square feet of hangar space, scheduled for completion in late 2021. The project has been billed as a major lure to attract new companies to the airport by adding new hangars that can be built to meet a customer’s requirements.

The one-square mile airport was founded in 1941 as a training ground primarily for the Royal Air Force during WWII. The British lost 23 cadets during the training, and they are buried together at Mesa City Cemetery.

After the war ended, Falcon Field was turned over to the city in 1948 and started its new mission as a municipal airport.

The airport is located between McKellips and McDowell roads, between Greenfield and Higley roads.

The airport averages about four noise complaints per month, spokeswoman Dee Anne Thomas said.

“We do a lot of outreach to the community to help people understand what goes on at the airport,’’ she said.

Parents slam Chandler transfers of special-needs kids

BY KAYLA RUTLEDGE Tribune Staff Writer

P

arents of children with specialneeds have again assailed the Chandler Unified School District administrators at a board meeting about the way they are transferring their kids to different schools.

At a March 22 meeting, dozens of parents advocated for their children after 55 received letters with little detail telling them their children were being assigned to a new school next year. For some parents, this was the second reassignment of the year.

The letters came just five days before the end of the school year, leaving many parents with questions and few staff still in their offices to address their concerns.

Within 48 hours of the first meeting, Superintendent Camille Casteel sent the parents an email highlighting changes to the district’s current reassignment practices.

Due to the parent’s complaints, at least 25 parents of children with special-needs received calls about a reversal of the reassignment policy.

District spokesman Terry Locke said official letters were mailed to some parents June 10.

The new practice has three key components; • Parents, staff and administrators

PAY from page 4

Livingston, for his part, said he was not concerned about the political fallout of being a Maricopa County lawmaker seeking to boost his allowance.

“I’m very strong in my district,’’ he said.

“I go to a lot of things in my district,’’ Livingston continued. “So I figured I can take the arrows easier than anybody else.’’

Campbell had urged unanimous support, saying it would “give (political) cover to anybody who has questions about it... and threaten us with retaliation because we voted to raise our per diem rate.’’

He didn’t get his wish.

The Senate vote was 22-7. There was even more doubt in the House where 23 of the 60 members voted against it.

Livingston also said there’s another reason that lawmakers, both in- and outcounty, need a bump in their allowance: the Tax Cut and Jobs Act signed in late 2017 by President Donald Trump.

It repealed a section of the tax code that gave employees a deduction for the amount of out-of-pocket expenses they

will meet each spring to review their child’s performance and other data, share ideas and provide input on any upcoming reassignment decisions.

• Children with special needs will not be reassigned more than twice between kindergarten and sixth grade.

However, exceptions can include changes in the child’s educational program or home address or if there are “extenuating circumstances.”

• When reassignment does happen, there will be bridge meetings in which the child’s old and new teacher will meet to share useful information about the student.

Kevin Morriss — whose son is a secondgrader with spastic quadriplegia cerebral palsy and has been notified of a reassignment four times since his son entered kindergarten — called the change a step in the right direction if it is truly implemented.

“I think the language in that email is awfully easy to get around so it sounds like there’s [some] really big outs,” said Morriss, “What they gave us is next to meaningless.”

Under the new practice, the district can move children with a change in the student’s learning program. Updates to programs are made annually — meaning the children could potentially be moved once per year, he said.

Changes to programs can also be made throughout the year, as they were for

Kristen Plamondon and her 8-year-old son Carter who has Down syndrome.

In April, Plamondon agreed to reduce Carter’s time spent in his general education classroom by 11 minutes. Four days later, the family was told the shift in Carter’s learning program meant a switch in schools from Basha Elementary to Navarrete Elementary.

“That was the moment our eyes were opened to the reality of having an extra chromosome. We always knew we’d have to forever advocate for Carter — fighting giants for him — but we never considered that a mere 11 minutes could rob him of the community we fought so hard to create,” said Plamondon.

The family already carefully rearranged their lives when Carter entered Basha so that he had a sense of community to support him. The shift included Carter’s two siblings changing schools and a change in churches.

“But our eyes have been opened to the bigger picture. What was once our district became our giant,” Plamondon said.

“Our fight for inclusion became a bit silly when the real fight was to keep him in his school where his entire future (community) rides their bikes with him each morning to school,” she added.

Because the parents spoke during the public comment section of the meeting, the board and superintendent were not allowed, by law, to respond.

Christine Marsh, the 2016 Teacher of the Year, berated lawmakers during a hearing last month on a bill that would have significantly boosted their daily allowance, but Mesa Rep. Michelle Udall said she approved of the measure because teachers got raises. (azleg.gov)

incurred that were not reimbursed by their employer.

During the debate on the bill last month, Rep. Aaron Lieberman, D-Phoenix, questioned the idea of lawmakers approving more money for themselves even when they refused just last week to restore all of the funds that have been cut during the recession in state aid to public schools.

The whole idea of the vote also raised eyebrows from teachers who have been at the Capitol monitoring the votes on spending bills.

“I can’t get beyond the irony of your plight and how it is so incredibly parallel to what is going on with teachers,’’ testified Christine Marsh, the 2016 teacher of the year and one of the prime proponents

However, Locke’s response on behalf of the district regarding parent’s concerns with the future of reassignment was: “It’s an IEP decision for placement, district discretion for location assignment based on a number of factors including space availability. Districts are held liable for the provision of a student’s free and appropriate public education.”

An IEP, or individualized education plan, is required by law for every student with special-needs and lays out a specific agenda for teachers to follow that addresses the child’s particular challenges.

Parents at the meeting pleaded for a study session in which parents, board members and administrators could collaborate about the future of reassignments in the district.

Locke said administrators have not yet had a chance to meet and discuss what will come of the comments made at the meeting.

However, 128 community members have already collaborated about potential solutions to reassignments that affect children across the Valley on a special Facebook page called East Valley Special Programs Realignment.

Posts vary from ideas, updates on their children’s struggles with reassignment and their wins, as well as events for parents to meet in person.

Those interested in joining the page must submit a request on Facebook. of higher pay for educators.

Marsh pointed out that proponents of the allowance hike, like Rep. Charlene Fernandez, D-Yuma, have said the legislators’ pay make few people interested in running for the Legislature.

“And yet that, of course, is what teachers are facing,’’ Marsh said.

She said lawmakers voting to hike their expenses should be ready for other parallels, like people telling them they knew what the job paid when they took it and they shouldn’t complain about the pay.

“That’s what we hear,’’ Marsh said. “And it’s offensive and not very cool.’’

Udall said that, under different circumstances, she might have opposed the hike in allowance.

But she pointed out that lawmakers last year approved a 9 percent increase in the average pay for teachers, with another 5 percent in the budget for this coming school year and 5 percent more earmarked for the following year.

“Having done that in the past year and the past days, I think this is appropriate,’’ Udall said.

Chandler senator helps undo part of predecessor’s program

BY HOWARD FISCHER Capitol Media Services

A

rizona is finally ready to curtail — but not stop — the ability of corporations to divert what they owe in state income tax to instead help send children to private and parochial schools, a system of credits that threatened to reduce corporate tax collections to zero.

Legislation signed last week by Gov. Doug Ducey will rein in a decade-old law that allows corporations to get a dollarfor-dollar credit against their income taxes for money they donate to “scholarship tuition organizations.’’

The legislation, sponsored by Chandler Republican Sen. J.D. Mesnard, partially undoes legislation that was pushed by a retired Chandler senator, Steve Yarbrough.

The STOs provide funds parents can use to pay the tuition and fees of their children at private schools.

The credit remains. But what is changing with the new law is the amount of dollars that can be diverted.

It originally started out with a $10 million cap. But it was engineered so that could increase by 20 percent a year.

For the current year, the amount of diverted dollars has ballooned to $89.2 million. Left unabated, it would reach nearly $222 million by the 2023-2024 school year.

More to the point, there is no limit.

And given that corporate tax collections are not increasing at 20 percent a year — revenue estimates for this year are at $427 million — they could owe the state nothing before the end of the decade.

“It’s reaching a growing number of our corporate dollars,’’ noted Mesnard.

The new law curbs the annual increase to 15 percent beginning in the 2020-2021 school year, dropping to 10 percent the year after that, 5 percent the following year and then settling at 2 percent or the rate of inflation, whichever is greater, in the 2023-2024 school year.

The financial difference is significant: By that year, the $222 million that corporations would otherwise have been allowed to divert will be reduced to just $145 million. And with the new cap, annual increases in foregone corporate revenues after that will be in the $3 million range.

David Lujan, executive director of the Arizona Center for Economic Progress, asked lawmakers to impose that 2 percent cap immediately, arguing that would generate $67 million for the state in the next three years. That plea proved a non-starter.

The scholarship program predates — and is different from — the vouchers that provide state funds directly to parents to pay for tuition and other expenses at private and parochial schools.

With scholarships, donor organizations, many of them linked to specific schools or religious groups, determine the dollars given to any student. By contrast, the amount of the voucher is limited by state law.

It originally started out as a program to allow individuals to divert some income tax dollars to these STOs. Under current law, individual taxpayers can get a credit of up to $555 — double that for couples — for amounts donated.

Former Senate President Yarbrough the executive director and general counsel of the Arizona Christian School Tuition Organization led the fight to open the door for corporate donations to generate more scholarship dollars.

Yarbrough, while selling the change as having just a $10 million price tag, also inserted that 20 percent annual inflation increase that has boosted the cost to that $89.2 million. And it was Yarbrough who, until his retirement last year, blocked efforts to reduce that inflation factor.

He told Capitol Media Services several years ago that his sponsorship of that legislation — and his defense against having the annual increases scaled back — was based on his personal belief that more dollars meant more educational opportunity for students who otherwise could not afford to attend a private or parochial school.

But Yarbrough, until he stepped down from ACSTO in late 2017, also had a personal and financial interest in scholarships.

ACSTO collected more than $200 million in donations between 1998 and 2017, giving out $173 million in scholarships as Arizona law allows sponsor organizations to keep up to 10 percent for costs.

Yarbrough said he had nothing to gain from his sponsorship of the corporate tax credits, saying all the money he gave out came from private donations.

During 2017, the most recent year for which records are available, Internal Revenue Service filings by ACSTO show that out of the $21.3 million the organization collected, Yarbrough was paid $98,241 in annual salary plus another $27,840 in what was listed as the cost of fringe benefits and life insurance.

On top of that, the organization paid another $659,300 to a firm owned by Yarbrough and his wife, Linda, to handle the accounting and paperwork.

Has your home increased in value over the years? A new option may help you enjoy a better retirement.

Keep reading if you own a home in the U.S and were born before 1957.

It’s a well-known fact that for many senior citizens in the U.S. their home is their single biggest asset, often accounting for more than 50% of their total net worth. For many, this investment has substantially improved due to years of appreciation.

Yet, according to new statistics from the mortgage industry, senior homeowners in the U.S. are now sitting on more than 6.9 trillion dollars of unused home equity.1 With people now living longer than ever before and home prices back up again, ignoring this “hidden wealth” may prove to be short sighted.

American Advisors Group (AAG) has recently introduced a new Jumbo Reverse Mortgage loan that allows homeowners with high-value homes to

borrow as much as $4 million of their home equity.

Unlike a standard reverse mortgage, AAG’s Jumbo Reverse Mortgage loan has much higher loan limits, which gives those homeowners who qualify access to even more cash—for many, that means a better retirement.

However, today, there are still millions of eligible homeowners who may simply not be aware of this “retirement secret.” Some homeowners think these loans sound “too good to be true.” while others don’t know how a reverse mortgage works or understand the process of extracting equity from their home.

You get the cash you need out of your home but you have no more monthly mortgage payments.

It’s a fact: “no monthly mortgage payments” are required with a reverse jumbo mortgage; however, homeowners are still responsible for paying for the maintenance of their home, property taxes, homeowner’s insurance and, if required, their HOA fees.

Our new Reverse Mortgage infomation guides & DVD are now available featuring award-winnng actor and paid AAG spokesman, Tom Selleck

waiting for you if you need it.

AAG is honored to be the No. 1 Reverse Mortgage lender in the nation. We have been named a 2017 finalist in the 500+ Employee Category for the Better Business Bureau’s (BBB) Torch Awards for Ethics.

We take pride in our ability to make the reverse mortgage experience informative and efficient for our customers. In fact, recent customers have given us a 97% satisfaction rating! We are also one of only a few lenders to offer these jumbo reverse mortgage loans.

The cash from a jumbo reverse loan can be used for almost any purpose. Many people use the money to save on interest charges by paying off credit cards or other high-interest loans. Other common uses include making home improvements, paying off medical bills or helping other family members.

Some people simply need the extra cash for everyday expenses while others are now using it as a “safety net” for financial emergencies If you’re a homeowner age 62 or older, you owe it to yourself to learn more so that you can make an informed decision.

Today, jumbo reverse mortgage loans have proven to be an effective way for homeowners 62 and older to get the extra cash they need to enjoy retirement.

Homeowners who are interested in learning more can request a free 2019 Jumbo Reverse Mortgage Information Kit and free Educational DVD by calling American Advisors Group tollfree at 1-866-221-8915.

While some wait until they need cash, a jumbo reverse mortgage loan with AAG is best applied as a vital planning tool that can help you live out your golden years in comfort and security. By planning ahead, you can also know that a safety net is there

To process your request for a mortgage, AAG may forward your contact information to such lenders for your consideration of mortgage programs that they offer. A reverse mortgage increases the principal mortgage loan amount and decreases home equity (it is a negative amortization loan). Reverse mortgage loan terms include occupying the home as your primary residence, maintaining the home, paying property taxes and homeowners insurance. Although these costs may be substantial, AAG does not establish an escrow account for these payments. However, a set-aside account can be set up for taxes and insurance, and in some cases may be required. Not all interest on a reverse mortgage is tax-deductible and to the extent that it is, such deduction is not available until the loan is partially or fully repaid. AAG charges an origination fee, mortgage insurance premium (where required by HUD), closing costs and servicing fees, rolled into the balance of the loan. AAG charges interest on the balance, which grows over time. When the last borrower or eligible non-borrowing spouse dies, sells the home, permanently moves out, or fails to comply with the loan terms, the loan becomes due and payable (and the property may become subject to foreclosure). When this happens, some or all of the equity in the property no longer belongs to the borrowers, who may need to sell the home or otherwise repay the loan balance.

Chandler’s Miss Arizona to lead Lions Club

BY COLLEEN SPARKS Tribune Staff Writer

I

sabel Ticlo’s reign as Miss Arizona 2018 may soon be over but the dedicated volunteer who is passionate about helping the visually impaired is getting warmed up for her next crowning achievement — serving as president of the Chandler Lions Club.

Ticlo, 25, of Chandler, will begin her one-year term as president on July 1, taking over from Ruth Jon Wick, who served in the position for three years.

Wick said everyone in the club encouraged Ticlo to step up as president and she was unanimously elected. She added she hopes Ticlo will want to be president for at least another year after that.

Ticlo had served as one of the organization’s vice-presidents last year and first got her feet wet with the Chandler Lions Club 10 years ago while a student at Hamilton High School.

She had been a member of the Leo Club for high school students who work with the Lions and learn about community

support people with vision impairment, which also is a big focus of the Lions Clubs International and its local chapters.

Ticlo, who graduated summa cum laude with a bachelor’s degree in marketing with minors in communications and dance from Arizona State University, works in marketing at Insight, a high technology solutions company in Tempe. She is working on her master’s degree in business Isabel Ticlo, 25, will start her term as the Chandler Lions Club president on July 1. administration at Her platform as Miss Arizona, and a big focus of the Chandler Lions Club, is helping ASU. people who have visual impairments. (Harvey Ticlo) Empowering the service. visually impaired is her passion.

Her platform as Miss Arizona was to “It’s something that we don’t think

about every day because most of us are born with our sight,” she said. “There are 200,000 people in Arizona who are visually impaired. I can’t imagine what that would be like one day to lose that…to one day wake up and not be able to see your kids’ faces.

“I’ve met so many people who lost their vision later in life. Adapting to that is terrifying, it’s frustrating. The solutions we can provide; whether they’re prevention solutions or adaptive ones it helps to lessen that pain.”

Ticlo enjoys helping her fellow Lions provide vision tests and glasses for students in need in Chandler Unified.

Vision became a big part of the international Lions clubs’ philanthropy after Helen Keller, an author and activist who became deaf and blind at a young age urged them to champion vision as a cause in 1925.

Ticlo also loves the Chandler Lions Club’s “Blinded by De-Light” events which enable people to feel what it’s be

“I was really, really excited. It was mindblowing because the process is already very selective,” he said. “Although I was confident in my application and in what I had done through these last four years of high school, the competition was very tough.”

Growing up in Mesa, Adrian said he always had a passion for school.

He was able to see the value in schoolwork and education from a very young age, he added.

“I think, naturally, I was very attentive to my schoolwork and I valued everything that teachers gave me,” the teen explained.

“Whereas I think other people saw it as work or something you had to get rid of so you could have more free time.”

“I saw academics as something that would give me opportunities and build those skill sets,” he added.

“I was involved with HOSA — Future Health Professionals my sophomore year.

They hold statewide and international conferences and it’s catered toward students that want to get involved in the healthcare field,” said Adrian, adding: “I competed in biomedical lab science at the state level and ended up qualifying for the international level — that was sort of when I got a grasp of the community that hosts it and how great it is.”

The Chandler Lions also sponsor vision forums, free events focusing on macular degeneration and diabetes on vision.

“We want to make sure everyone has the resources they need and be unafraid,” Ticlo said.

During her reign as Miss Arizona, Ticlo volunteered with the Arizona Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired, the Foundation for Blind Children, the Brain Injury Alliance of Arizona and Phoenix Children’s Hospital.

She joined people making beaded bracelets at the Arizona Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired and handing out medals to those who took part in a 5K run.

In that run, children who are blind would hold onto a pole and a runner with vision would guide them as they ran.

“I was there to hang out with kids and let them have fun,” Ticlo said. “I like to talk to the children.”

She received the coveted Melvin Jones Award from the Chandler Lions for outstanding contributions to the community.

“It was pretty amazing,” Ticlo said. “You do the work with the intention of just doing good in the world. You don’t expect to win any awards. It’s surreal.”

Wick said Ticlo is well-deserving of honors and is proud of her work in the club and as Miss Arizona.

“She’s been like a walking billboard for not only our Chandler Lions but all the Lions,” Wick said. “It’s been amazing what she has added to our organization… it’s been just a joy to watch her step up and take a leadership role with the high school Leo Club and then join our Lions Club while still attending college and working and still having time to volunteer. I think she’s done an amazing job.

“For the people that meet her, the thing with Isabel that stands out is she is so genuine. Her heart is as good as her beauty. People just find she’s so warm and welcoming and enthusiastic about anything she tackles. I know that all of the members in my club are so excited that she has decided to take on leadership.”

The only thing he would happily fly is a kite

BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ Tribune Columnist

R

ecently, some business and personal trips prompted me to fly back and forth across the continent several times. Nothing makes a better case for staying home — forever — than traveling in the 21st century.

On the positive side, I finally understand what famous French smart guy Jean-Paul Sartre meant by the immortal line, “Hell is other people.”

Curiously, Sarte wrote this in 1943, long before the 2001 founding of the Transportation Security Administration and the advent of “secure” modern air travel. More on the TSA — aka “Thousands Standing Around” — momentarily. First, however, we need to discuss how awful some of you are at basic geometry.

Current travel restrictions dictate that the maximum size for a carry-on suitcase is 9 inches by 14 inches by 22 inches.

Imagine a rectangle of such proportions.

Because a jetliner’s overhead bin is made to accommodate bags up to that size, one cannot fit a larger bag into this space.

Among the things that won’t fit into an overhead bin: A Louis Vuitton steamer trunk, a German Shepherd, Louis Vuitton himself or a child over the age of, say, 4.

Trust me, this last point is galling, because I have contemplated stuffing many a wailing child into an airplane’s storage compartment.

As modern airlines have discovered they can screw travelers by charging extra for “luxuries” like seats and baggage, many of you seem determined to get your money’s worth by bringing all your worldly possessions on your trip.

Don’t do this. You may notice other passengers laughing at you or giving you dirty looks. You’re not wrong. We do hate you.

Other objects worthy of scorn include: Travelers who fly in their pajamas, people who tote fake “emotional support ani-

mals” and the appalling lack of signage at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport. Anyone who has ever tried to figure out which side of Terminal Four they’ve parked on knows exactly what I’m talking about.

Then there’s the TSA. I get that there are evil people in the world who want nothing more than to bring down another airliner. Thus, security is paramount.

Even so, federal security personnel would do well to remember a valuable insight: No one remembers what you say. They remember how you made them feel. Between the arbitrary nature of many TSA rules — that Dixie cup of water must be confiscated — and the sneering tone of some of these blue-clad Napoleon complex victims, I’m often left feeling like I would gladly trade a little bit of safety for common sense and common courtesy.

Still, I can’t imagine doing that job. Not after witnessing a grown man, told to completely empty his pockets, wonder aloud

why a few dimes and nickels “counted.”

His explanation: “Oh, I didn’t know coins were metal.”

Common airport scenes like this remind me that many of our fellow travelers suck at life. Told to remove from their baggage every electronic device larger than a cellphone, they ask if that includes their cellphone.

Seated in seat 29D, they stow their carry-on 24 rows away, then sprint up the aisle like Usain Bolt even before the plane comes to a full stop upon landing. They ooze over the armrest between seats, leave the airplane restroom like a Superfund site and — yes, I recently saw this — clip their fingernails mid-flight.

In 1903, a scant 116 years ago, Wilbur and Orville Wright risked their lives to fly the first heavier-than-air, controlled airplane. That day, Wilbur reportedly flew 852 feet in 59 seconds.

Today, that same flight would involve a full-body pat-down, a $12 cheese plate and a $50 upcharge for Wilbur’s second suitcase. Such is progress.

Cardinals’ camps aim to enlighten Arizona youth

BY ZACH ALVIRA AFN Sports Editor

T

he Arizona Cardinals have long made it a priority to make a difference in the youth across Arizona through camps.

Several times throughout the year, the Cardinals’ community relations department — along with several volunteers — come together to provide an outlet for kids to learn the game of football as well as important life lessons revolving around education and staying on the right path.

The latest installment of these camps took place on Saturday, June 1 at Gilbert Christian High School, as several former players came together for the Football Skills and Education Camp presented by Gatorade and Dignity Health.

“It’s an event that has been going on for a while now and it’s something we want to continue to offer for the kids,” said Horace Raymond, the director of community relations for the Cardinals. “It’s a tremendous

Several kids from all across the Valley and state ranging from 7th to 12th grade took part in the camp at Gilbert Christian.

Some had experience playing football for a youth team or high school. Others had never played before.

The camp began with an hour-long classroom session centered around hydration and the importance of maintaining good grades in school.

Once finished, the campers made their way out to the field, where Mo Streety, the Cardinals manager of youth football, led them in stretching and plyometrics before breaking off into each drill led by several former Cardinals players.

From throwing drills for the quarterbacks, to route running and pass deflections for the wide receivers and defensive backs, each position group learned from former pros how to properly play their respective position.

Among the coaches was former running back Marcel Shipp (2001-07), former offensive linemen Rick Cunningham (1994), Jerome Daniels (1998) and Anthony Clem-

Donated rods, reels get kids fishing this summer

BY ZACH ALVIRA Tribune Sports Editor

A

s the weather heats up, East Valley kids begin spending their free time in front of a television rather than experiencing the outdoors.

Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s are trying to reverse that trend.

“We are trying to get as many kids as possible outdoors,” said Levi Slocum, the assistant general manager of the Bass Pro Shops in Mesa. “We know we can’t completely ignore technology, it is what it is.

But the more we can promote the outdoors, the better.”

A large part of the two store’s initiative to promote the outdoors started on June 6, when over 200 fishing rods and reels were donated to two East Valley Boy Scout troops. The donation at the Mesa store was just one of many across the country to kick off National Fishing and Boating Week.

This is the first year competitors Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s have joined forces for the event. More than 55,000 rods and reels were donated this year alone, the largest donation ever.

Pack 451 (left) from Mesa and Pack 330 (right) from Gilbert received a donation from Bass Pro Shops in Mesa that included 200 fishing rods and reels. (Zach Alvira/Tribune Sports Editor)

Since this initiative began in 2005, Bass Pro Shops has donated over 400,000 rods and reels nationwide to groups such as the Boy Scouts, Man-Up Surprise, branches of the YMCA and Difference Makers Dads Club, among others.

“We target mainly youth groups,” Slocum said. “The Boy Scouts, for example,

are really involved in the outdoors already where as others might not be. But just because they do go outdoors, doesn’t mean they have the right equipment to enjoy something like fishing.

“We want them to enjoy it, and we are giving them an avenue and the product to do so.”

Pack 451, based out of Trinity Church near Gilbert Road and University Drive in Mesa, was among the two troops present at Bass Pro Shops for the donation. Pack 330, which is based out of Val Vista Academy on Val Vista Drive and Germann Road in Gilbert, was also present.

The scouts, along with other family members, had the chance to fish in Bass Pro Shops’ indoor catch-and-release pond with their new rods. For some, it was their first time catching a fish.

“We are amazed at the rods they are giving us,” said Laura Higgins, whose son, Zach, is in Pack 330. “I know our cubmaster, Danielle (Alfandre), will have something set up in the future to get these guys out there. It will be great.”

Higgins’ daughter, Sara, caught her first fish during the event, sparking cheers from the rest of the kids. Growing up fishing herself in Minnesota, Higgins said her kids also share the same passion she has for the sport.

But having moved to the East Valley just two years ago, she understands

Ray Perkins, former linebacker for the Dallas Cowboys and current athletic director at Tolleson Union High School, was also present along with Qualen Cunningham, Rick’s son and Hamilton High alum who recently graduated from Texas A&M where he played defensive end for four seasons.

“It’s really important for guys like us who have played at a high level to be here for them,” Cunningham said. “A lot of these guys that are younger than us look up to us as icons.

“Some of the stuff we need to be doing is laying the brick for them to go on and become good people and do great things.”

During a Q & A session after the field work completed, Cunningham explained how he was still just a 17-year-old kid when he arrived to Texas A&M. He played against grown men, but had trust in his ability and became successful for the Aggies.

“That’s the biggest thing,” Cunningham said. “Stay true to who you are. At the end of the day, I think we all know what we should or shouldn’t be doing and we know

there is limited time during the summer to go out before temperatures become unbearable.

“It’s really hard in the summer,” Higgins said. “We try to put a limit on how much time they spend on electronics, but it’s hard in the summer if I have something going on or it gets too hot. But anything that isn’t electronic and can get them outdoors is a good thing.”

Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s held family-friendly Events on June 8-9 and 15-16 as part of the initiative to get kids interested in the outdoors and fishing. The events led up to National Gone Fishing Day on June 18.

Anywhere from 600 to 1,000 kids usually take part in these annual weekend events, with many sticking around for Bass Pro Shops’ summer camp where they can earn pins for attending seminars related to the outdoors.

“One of the questions we get all the time is if we have WiFi in the store,” Slocum said. “We promote the outdoors, so there is no WiFi. We are trying to get as many kids as possible outdoors.

“We know we can’t completely ignore technology, it is what it is. But the more we can promote the outdoors the better.”

Hootie & the Blowfish reunite this summer

BY ALAN SCULLEY

H

ootie & the Blowfish could easily have made their return after a decade-long hiatus with a tour on which they simply played their hits and fan-favorite album cuts.

Instead, the group will have a new studio album to go with this summer’s reunion tour. Singer Darius Rucker said the need for new music to go with the return of Hootie & the Blowfish was obvious.

“The new album is for those people who are really, really die-hard fans who just loved the music and just want something new,” Rucker said.

The Hootie & the Blowfish reunion has been anticipated for some time. Even as

Rucker’s country career took off, he said in multiple interviews that the band would someday tour again and make another album.

It was after the touring cycle for Rucker’s most recent country Hootie & the Blowfish are enjoying the renewed interest in their early-1990s music album, 2017’s after fans seemed to drift away for a few years. (Special to the Tribune) “When Was The Last Time,” that things went into motion mentioned “Cracked Rear View,” became for the return of Hootie & the Blowfish. as ubiquitous as any album in rock history, Timing played a key role in the choice of selling an astonishing 16 million copies.

As a recent “Esquire” article — and the sell-out business the reunion tour has been doing — suggests, even some of the more vocal Hootie haters now seem to realize Hootie & the Blowfish weren’t that bad after all.

That’s not news to Rucker, who chalks up the popularity to him including Hootie’s biggest hits in his country shows. It introduced a new generation to the group, and that may be contributing to this summer’s sell-out numbers.

He also thinks it certainly hasn’t hurt to have the Barenaked Ladies — another band with a string of hits from the 1990s and into the 2000s — also on the bill.

The new Hootie & the Blowfish album, which is being produced by Jeff Trott (Sheryl Crow, Stevie Nicks, Joe Cocker) came together quite seamlessly from the sound of things, with the band choosing from 80 songs that were in play for the album.

Rucker said that even though the group had gone a decade and a half since making new music, the four band members settled right back into their collaborative writing routine.“I

the symptoms, few knew how to treat it.

Even fewer were willing to take the risk and administer care. Was it contagious? Could it be airborne? No one quite knew. Patients were being shunned, isolated and even refused care.

The path to acceptance was quickly fading away, as the fearmongers started to distance themselves from the gay community.

But, with every cloud Caregiver Rita Rockett visits an AIDS patient in San Francisco General Hospital’s comes a silver lining. In Ward 5B (RYOT Films) this case, it was a group of nurses at San Francisco General Hospithe lives of its victims even faster.

Ward 5B opened at the end of July, 1983. thing that was for certain: the gay male With much uncertainty, they risked their community was most at risk.

While many were coming down with lives to care for fellow humans in need.

Even as more came to be known about transmission, it wasn’t only the patients being shunned, but the doctors and nurses as well.

Through interviews, we learn about the struggles the care staff endured, from receiving hate mail, having to move, losing friends and family and other unimaginable consequences.

Co-Director Dan Krauss was just 10 years old and living outside San Francisco during this time.

“The opportunity to share this littleknown episode of history now 35 years later is an extraordinary honor,” Kraus said.

Haggis and Krauss do a great job of introducing us to those that risked not only their health, but their own personal social lives to step in and offer help at one of the most trying medical times in recent history.

While new ground may not be broken in the filmmaking style, it is always good to pay homage to those that deserve it, and remind everyone that fear and hostility isn’t the right answer to a problem.

‘Ward 5B’ tackles the fear of AIDS as it took hold

he fear of the unknown often causes panic, hostility and anger. The uncertainty of an outcome is an uneasy feeling.

This “fear of the unknown” was on full display when the AIDS crisis came onto the scene in the early 1980s. The just-released documentary from Paul Haggis and Dan Krauss takes a look at the first ward in the country to deal with the disease, located at San Francisco General Hospital.

At the start of the film, we are introduced to the Castro District in the coastal California city.

While nowhere near the acceptance, or level of rights the gay community has today, great strides were being made in San Francisco, and elsewhere across the country.

One interviewee states, “It’s not 1954 anymore, its 1973.” Just as a “place in society was being carved,” it hit… an unknown disease that came on rapidly and claimed
