WE'LL INTRODUCE YOU TO THE CELEBRITY CHEF BRINGING HER GOODS TO THE VALLEY.

ON BREAD IT DOWN, HOW WE CAN PROTECT CHILDREN FROM SOCIAL MEDIA DANGERS.

>>> GOOD EVENING, AND WELCOME TO "ARIZONA HORIZON."

I'M CHRISTINA ESTES.

IN TONIGHT FOR TED SIMONS.

LAKE MEAD REACHED ITS LOWEST LEVEL TODAY SINCE IT WAS FIRST FILLED WITH COLORADO RIVER WATER BACK IN THE 1930S.

THE LAKE IS NOW AT 36% CAPACITY.

THAT MEANS WATER CUTBACKS FOR SOME FARMERS IN ARIZONA STARTING NEXT YEAR.

THE SITUATION IS EXPECTED TO GET WORSE OVER AT LEAST THE NEXT FEW YEARS, WITH CUTBACKS POSSIBLY HITTING CITIES IF CONDITIONS DO NOT IMPROVE.

>>> FIREFIGHTERS CONTINUE TO MAKE PROGRESS ON THE TELEGRAPH FIRE BURNING NEAR SUPERIOR.

THE FIRE IS NOW 40% CONTAINED.

IT HAS BURNED AT LEAST FIVE STRUCTURES.

EVACUATIONS REMAIN IN EFFECT IN SEVERAL AREAS.

RESIDENTS FROM SUPERIOR HAS BEEN DOWNGRADED IN -- THEIR EVACUATION STATUS.

THE MESCAL FIRE IS STILL BURNING NEAR GLOEB.

GOVERNOR DOUG DUCEY VISITED THE AREA TODAY AND THEN ANNOUNCED A SPECIAL SESSION TO ADDRESS FIRE-FIGHTING.

>> WE'RE GOING TO SIT DOWN IN A BIPARTISAN WAY WITH THE LEADERS OF THE CHAMBERS AND FIGURE THIS OUT.

THIS SHOULD BE A WIN FOR ARIZONA.

AND THERE WILL BE MORE WORK TO BE DONE AFTER THAT, BUT WE WANT TO CARVE OUT WHAT ELSE NEEDS TO BE DONE.

>>> ATTORNEY GENERAL MARK BRNOVICH ANNOUNCEDED HE IS RUNNING FOR THE SENATE SEAT OF MARK KELLY.

>>> WITH TEMPERATURES EXPECTED TO SORE ABOVE 110 NEXT WEEK, HEALTH CARE EXPERTS ARE WARNING ABOUT BURNS FROM HOT SERVICES.

DR. KEVIN FOSTER, DIRECTOR OF THE ARIZONA BURN CENTER, KICKED OFF OF STREETS OF FIRE CAMPAIGN.

LAST YEAR, HE SAID 104 PEOPLE WERE TREATED FOR HEAT-RELATED BURNING AT HIS CENTER.

>> THE MAJORITY OF THESE BURNS ARE THIRD DEGREE BURNS, AND ALMOST ALL OF THESE PATIENTS ENDED UP GOING TO THE HOSPITAL AND GETTING SKIN GRAPHED.

IT DOESN'T TAKE MUCH TIME TO GET A THIRD DEGREE BURN WHEN EXPOSED TO HOT PAVEMENT.

>>> IN THIS GLENDALE A GROUND BREAKING TOOK PLACE FOR A METEL-BRANDED THEME PARK.

THE PARK IS PLANNED ALONGSIDE CRYSTAL LAGOON'S WATER RESORT.

>>> THE HIRING PROCESS WILL SOON BEGIN FOR A NEW OFFICE IN PHOENIX TO INVESTIGATE CLAIMS OF POLICE MISCONDUCT AND OFFICER-INVOLVED SHOOTINGS.

THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVED LANGUAGE OUTLINING THE DUTIES.

IT'S A MAJOR VICTORY FOR VICE MAYOR CARLOS GARCIA.

I TALKED WITH VICE MAYOR CARLOS GARCIA EARLIER ABOUT THE OFFICE'S RESPONSIBILITIES.

THE OFFICE OF ACCOUNTABILITY AND TRANSPARENCY IS SOMETIMES REFERRED TO A OAT.

WHAT WOULD OAT DO IN >> IT IS GOING TO HOLD THE POLICE OFFICERS OF THE CITY OF PHOENIX ACCOUNTABLE AND TRANSPARENT.

IT HAS BEEN IN THE WORKS FOR OVER 30 YEARS, AND WE'RE HAPPY THAT THE CITY AND MY COLLEAGUES HAVE DECIDED TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE OFFICE.

>> CRITICS SAY THIS OFFICE IS REDUNDANT; THAT THERE ARE ALREADY CIVILIANS INVOLVED IN DIFFERENT BOARDS IN WAYS TO LOOK INTO COMPLAINTS OF POLICE MISCONDUCT.

WHY DO YOU THINK THIS OFFICE IS NECESSARY?

WHAT IS DIFFERENT?

>> THE MAIN THING THAT IS DIFFERENT IS THE INDEPENDENCE FROM THE POLICE BOARD.

EVERY OTHER BOARD IS INVOLVED WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.

WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THERE WAS AN INDEPENDENT OFFICE AWAY FROM THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, AND THAT THE POLICE OFFICERS WERE NO LONGER JUST INVEST GAITING THEMSELVES.

>> AND WHAT SORT OF RESPONSIBILITIES OR DUTIES OR AUTHORITY WILL THIS OFFICE HAVE?

>> THEY WILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO INVESTIGATE INDIVIDUAL INCIDENTS, AND HAVE COMMUNICATION WITH THE COMMUNITY, SPECIFICALLY WITH VICTIMS OF POLICE BRUTALITY, AND SO IT WOULD, ON ITS OWN BE ABLE TO DO ITS OWN INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION, COME UP WITH THEIR OWN RESULTS, PRESENT THEM TO THE COMMUNITY.

>> AND WHAT SORT OF INFLUENCE DO YOU THINK THIS OFFICE WOULD HAVE IN TERMS OF SUGGESTING POLICY CHANGES OR DISCIPLINE?

>> WE EXPECT THAT THIS OFFICE WILL BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT BY BOTH THE POLICE CHIEF, CITY MANAGER, AND THE CITY COUNCIL, AND WE'RE EXPECTING IT IS GOING TO HAVE GREAT INFLUENCE BOTH IN THE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES SET FORTH BY THE CHIEF, AND ALSO WITH INDIVIDUALED INVOLVED IN INCIDENTS.

>> SO THERE IS ALREADY A SYSTEM IN PLACE WHERE A POLICE OFFICER CAN APPEAL TO A BOARD.

THAT BOARD HAS IN THE PAST GONE AGAINST THE CHIEF'S DECISION TO DISCIPLINE, AND HAS SUGGESTED LESS OR OVERTURNING THAT.

SO HOW WOULD THIS NEW OFFICE FACTOR INTO THAT?

>> THE CURRENT BOARD THAT EXISTS IN THE CITY, ONLY GETS INFORMATION COMING OUT OF THE POLICE OFFICER DEPARTMENT.

AND THIS OFFICE IS DIFFERENT FROM THE CIVILIAN REVIEW BOARD THAT IS GOING TO BE COMING HOPEFULLY IN THE FALL, BUT THIS OFFICE WILL BE ABLE TO NOT ONLY GIVE SUGGESTIONS BUT ALSO CONDUCT THEIR OWN INVESTIGATION, INCLUDING HAVING INTERVIEWS OR CONVERSATIONS WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS OR POLICE IMPACTED BY POLICE BRUTALITY.

>> THE DIRECTOR WILL HIRE A STAFF, AND THEN THERE WILL BE A SEPARATE VOLUNTEER REVIEW BOARD.

WHO IS PICKING ALL OF THESE PEOPLE AND WHAT IS THE PROCESS INVOLVED?

>> THE FIRST PROCESS IS THAT OF THE DIRECTOR.

WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT A SYSTEM SIMILAR TO HOW WE HIRE A POLICE CHIEF.

THERE WILL BE CIVILIANS AND OTHERS INVOLVED IN A CIVILIAN REVIEW BOARD, AND WE'LL MAKE SURE THE CIVILIAN REVIEW BOARD, ONCE THIS OFFICE GETS GOING, THAT BOARD WILL BE ABLE TO ACCOMPANY IT.

>> WHEN DO YOU EXPECT THIS NEW OFFICE TO BE FULLY OPERATING?

>> IN AN IDEAL WORLD, THIS OFFICE STARTS OPERATING IN 2022, AND WE'RE READY TO TAKE INPUT FROM THE COMMUNITY AND START INVESTIGATING SITUATIONS WITH THE POLICE BY EARLY NEXT YEAR.

THE CIVILIAN REVIEW BOARD, SAME, WE'LL LOOK TO FINALIZE THAT IN THE FALL.

>> AND HOW WILL YOU DEFINE SUCCESS?

>> THE ONLY WAY TO DEFINE SUCCESS IS RECREATING TRUST.

MAKING SURE ALL OF THOSE FAMILIES FEEL LIKE THEIR VOICES HAVE BEEN HEARD.

THE CURRENT SYSTEMS WE HAVE ARE STACKED IN ONE WAY, AND CONTINUE TO ALLOW POLICE ONLY TO INVESTIGATE THEMSELVES.

THE ONLY WAY THIS WILL BE SUCCESSFUL IS WE ALL COME TOGETHER AND ASSURE WE HAVE A SAFER CITY IN THE CITY OF PHOENIX.

>> VICE MAYOR CARLOS GARCIA THANKS SO MUCH FOR JOINING US.

>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING HORIZON, A NEW PARTNERSHIP TO BRING BETTER HEALTH CARE TO UNDERSERVED AND UNINSURED PEOPLE.

>>> A COLLABORATION BETWEEN ST. VINCENT DePAUL AND CREIGHTON UNIVERSITY WILL SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE THANKS TO A $10 MILLION GRANT FROM THE VIRGINIA G. PIPER CHARITABLE TRUST.

THE NEW PARTNERSHIP AIMS TO IMPROVE HEALTH ACCESS AND GROW SKILLED MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS.

EARLIER I TALKED WITH DR. JOHN ANN-WAR, CHIEF MEDICAL OFFICER WITH THE VIRGINIA G. PIPER CHARITABLE TRUST.

>>> DOCTOR, HOW WILL THIS GRANT CHANGE THINGS?

>> THIS GRANT IS FOCUSING ON HEALTHCARE DISPARITY.

SO THE STUDENTS, UNFORTUNATELY WHEN THEY ARE IN THEIR FIRST YEAR OF MED SCHOOL, THEY DO NOT REALLY GET EXPOSED TO WHAT IT TAKES TO CARE FOR UNDERINSURED, UNINSURED, THE MINORITIES THAT ACTUALLY LACK ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE SYSTEM.

SO WITH NOW HAVING A -- THE BACKUP, AND THE FINANCIAL SUPPORT FROM VIRGINIA G. PIPER CHARITABLE TRUST, THIS MONEY WILL GO TO THIS SPECIFIC INVESTMENT STUDYING HEALTHCARE DISPARITY.

>> HOW DOES HAVING THIS PRIMARY TEACHING CLINIC, HOW DOES THAT IMPACT STUDENTS IN TERMS OF HOW THEY ARE ABLE TO LEARN?

>> REAL LIFE EXAMPLE, FIRST OF ALL, THE STUDENTS WILL BE EXPOSED TO FIRST OF ALL, WHAT IT TAKES TO TAKE CARE OF THE POPULATION WHO ARE UNINSURED.

FOR EXAMPLE, PEOPLE WHO HAVE NO INSURANCE, THEY -- TECHNICALLY, SOMETIMES THEY HAVE LOW HEALTH, LITERALLY.

THEY REQUIRE EXTRA TIME AND ATTENTION IN ORDER TO CARE FOR THEM, AND HELPING THE STUDENTS TO UNDERSTAND THE BACKGROUND OF THIS PATIENT POPULATION, IT HELPS THE STUDENTS BECOME CULTURALLY COMPETENT IN ORDER TO KNOW WHAT IT TAKES TO BE RAISED IN A BIG FAMILY THAT LIVE ON DAY-TO-DAY WAGES AND LIVE HERE IN MARICOPA COUNTY.

SO UNFORTUNATELY WE DO NOT TEACH THAT IN MED SCHOOL, SO NOW THEY WOULD HAVE A FIRST-HAND EXPOSURE TO THAT POPULATION -- TO THAT SPECIFIC POPULATION HERE IN THE CLINIC.

THE FACULTIES WHO WOULD BE TEACHING THEM ARE FROM ARIZONA, WHO ARE WORKING WITH THE SAME EXACT TYPE OF POPULATION.

THAT WILL HELP TEACH THE STUDENTS AT SUCH AN EARLY STAGE OF THEIR TRAINING HOW TO TAKE CARE OF THIS POPULATION, HOW TO HELP THEM FIND THE ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE THAT THEY CANNOT AFFORD.

SO WHEN THESE STUDENTS GO TO REAL LIFE WHEN THEY ARE -- GO FROM SCHOOL AND TO RESIDENCY.

THEY WOULD WRITE A BRAND NEW PRESCRIPTION FOR $500.

DOES THIS PERSON HAVE INSURANCE?

NO, HE DID.

I SHOULD USE GENERIC.

THIS PATIENT HAS [ INAUDIBLE ] TO GO TO?

I'M GOING TO BE CALLING ONE OF THE CLINICS IN ST. VINCENT DePAUL TO HELP US ESTABLISH A CARE RELATIONSHIP WITH ONE OF THE PROVIDERS HERE, THIS WAY WHEN THE PATIENT LEAVES THE HOSPITAL, THE PATIENT HAS A CLINIC THAT THEY CAN CALL HOME TO GO TO.

WHEN THIS POPULATION GOES TO THE ER, TYPICALLY IT'S A BAND-AID, AND THEY GET A PRESCRIPTION FOR TWO WEEKS, AND FOLLOW UP WITH YOUR PCP, BUT THERE IS NO PCP.

>> WHAT IS THE TIMETABLE FOR THIS TEACHING CLINIC TO ACTUALLY BE UP AND RUNNING WITH YOUR CREIGHTON STUDENTS.

>> IT WILL START IN DECEMBER OF THIS YEAR.

THIS CLASS THAT YOU SEE IN THE BACKGROUND, WILL ACTUALLY START IN AUGUST.

BUT WE DO HAVE CREIGHTON STUDENTS THAT CAN WORK AT THE CLINIC.

SO YOU HAVE STUDENTS WHO ARE IN MED SCHOOL IN THEIR 5TH AND 4TH YEAR.

THOSE ARE STUDENTS WHO CAME FROM THE NEBRASKA CAMPUS TO COME AND ACTUALLY GET TRAINED HERE IN OUR MAIN CAMPUS, SUCH AS A ST. JOSEPH'S HOSPITAL, AND THEY COME HERE AND DO SOMETHING CALLED [ INAUDIBLE ] WHICH MEANS THEY CAN FOLLOW ONE OF US FOR ONE MONTH TO LEARN ABOUT THE CLINIC, LEARN ABOUT THIS POPULATION, UNDERINSURED, HEALTHCARE DISPARITY, WHILE THEY ARE HERE FOR ONE MONTH.

THEN WE HAVE A STUDENT-RUN CLINIC ON SATURDAY THAT IS ACTUALLY RUN BY STUDENTS IN THEIR THIRD AND FOURTH YEAR.

SO THEY HAVE BEEN COMING HERE, BUT NOW WE CAN ACTUALLY BRING THEM IN THE EARLY STAGE, WHICH IS THE FIRST YEAR OF MED SCHOOL.

>> DOCTOR, THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK, AND THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>>> A NEW BOOK BY AARON BETSKI AND GIDEON FINK SHAPIRO FEATURES PHOTOGRAPHS OF FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT'S DESIGNS.

TED SIMONS TALKED WITH THE BOOK'S PHOTOGRAPHER.

>> ANDREW THANKS FOR JOINING US TODAY.

YOU TOOK ALL OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS FOR THIS BOOK, CORRECT?

>> THAT IS CORRECT, YES.

>> OKAY.

SO WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT -- I DON'T WANT TO GET TOO DEEPLY INTO THE LITERATURE, BUT THERE IS A LESS SON THAT CAN BE LEARNED, OR 50 OF THEM.

SOME OF THEM ARE INTERESTING, LIKE LET NATURE INSPIRE YOU, AND SCREEN, DON'T CLOSE.

WHAT DO THESE LESSONS MEAN?

>> YEAH, IT'S SO FUNNY YOU CHOSE THOSE TWO.

THOSE ARE THE TWO I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT.

THAT'S FUNNY.

THIS BOOK IS THE BRAIN CHILD OF AARON AND GIDEON.

I COLLABORATED WITH THEM, AND AS YOU KNOW, EVERYONE KNOWS, THERE IS A LOT OF BOOKS OUT THERE OF FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT, AND THEY COVER HIS ADVENTUROUS LIFE, AND THERE ARE BOOKS ABOUT SPECIFIC SITES.

AND THEN THERE ARE ALSO BOOKS DEDICATED TO A GUN -- GENRES OF FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT.

AND THIS BOOK REALLY BREAKS DOWN ALL OF THOSE ELEMENTS INTO LESSONS THAT YOU AND I AND EVERYONE CAN IMPLEMENTMENT INTO OUR OWN HOMES.

>> LET'S SAY WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE A CHANGE.

SCREEN DON'T CLOSE.

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN IN A TRACT HOME OR CONDO?

>> YEAH, SO, YOU KNOW, WRIGHT WAS REAL BIG ON WHAT HE CALLED BREAKING THE BOX, AND THIS WAS EARLY ON IN HIS CAREER, AND ARCHITECTURE WAS A BOX NEXT TO A BOX NEXT TO A BOX, AND HE WANTED TO BREAK ALL OF THOSE AWAY AND NOW WE HAVE LARGE OPEN KITCHENS, AND ROOMS THAT ARE NOT DIVIDEDED.

BUT SOMETIMES THOSE SPACES ARE A BIT TOO LARGE.

THAT'S WHERE WE CAN IMPLEMENT SCREENS INTO YOUR SPACE, SO IT JUST GIVES YOU THAT FLEXIBILITY OF CREATING A SPACE WITHIN A SPACE, AND YOU CAN DO THAT BY TOTALLY BLOCKING OFF THE SPACE, OR YOU CAN LEAVE A LITTLE PEAK, SO THERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF CURIOSITY WHEN YOU LOOK ACROSS THAT OPEN SPACE WHEN YOU ARE AT A PARTY, SAYING WHAT IS BEHIND THERE?

IT JUST ADDS SOME CURIOSITY TO YOUR OWN HOME.

>> YEAH, DEFINITELY.

DID YOU -- DID YOU LEARN ANY LESSONS -- AND WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT YOUR HISTORY IN A SECOND WITH FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT.

DID YOU LEARN ANY LESSONS OUT OF THIS?

>> THE BIG LESSONS FOR ME IS -- AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT REALLY ATTRACTED ME TO FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT WAS LET NATURE INSPIRE YOU, AND I THINK THAT IS ANOTHER GREAT SIMPLE LESSON IN THIS BOOK.

HE GREW UP IN WISCONSIN, WANDERING THE HILLS AS A KID, AND THEN HE MOVED OUT TO ARIZONA, AND HE CONTINUED THOSE COLORS AND TEXTURES IN HIS DESIGNS.

>> WHAT GOT YOU STARTED IN ALL OF THIS.

YOU PHOTOGRAPHED SO MUCH OF FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT, AND I THINK YOU ARE ON A MISSION NOW.

WHAT GOT YOU STARTED IN ALL OF THIS?

>> YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.

I STARTED ABOUT TEN YEARS AGO.

AND I'M BASED OUT OF PHOENIX, AND SO MY FIRST REAL LIVE EXPERIENCE WITH FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT WAS [ INAUDIBLE ] WEST.

SO I WENT UP THERE FOR A TOUR, AND IT WASN'T NECESSARILY THE ARCHITECTURE, IT WAS THAT BLENDING HE DOES OF THE LANDSCAPE.

>> LET'S SAY YOU ARE AT A PARTY, WITH A NICE SCREENED OFF ROOM, AND SOMEBODY SAYS, I DON'T GET IT.

WHAT IS THE BIG DEAL ABOUT FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT.

HOW DO YOU RESPOND?

>> I WOULD SAY, IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN A FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT, GO INSIDE AND VISIT.

IT'S NOT JUST SOMETHING YOU SEE.

IT'S SOMETHING YOU FEEL.

>> CONGRATULATIONS ON ALL OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS, AND BEST OF LUCK.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANKS FOR HAVING ME.

>>> AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US.

I'M CHRISTINA ESTES IN FOR TED SIMONS.

HAVE A GREAT NIGHT.
