GILBERT (3TV/CBS 5) - Ira Latham, a father of four Higley Unified School District students, took off his clothes during a board meeting in late September to reveal short shorts and a crop top. Latham said he wanted to make a clear argument about an updated dress policy he said is vague.

“As a dad, that’s very concerned about my children as well as everyone else’s kids in the district, I wanted to make a clear argument,” said Latham.

The former policy, which hadn’t been updated for more than two decades, wouldn’t allow for a student to expose their chest, abdomen or midriff. The updated version only restricts students from exposing their underwear.

“Before they had some guidance, but now they have no guidance. It’s just ‘kids cover your underwear’,” he said.

The board later voted 3 to 2 for the updated policy.

Anna Van Hoek, a Board Member who voted against the new rules, believes not all parents’ concerns are being heard.

“The fact that we have adults advocating for children to have less clothing on is absurd to me,” said Van Hoek.

She said this change will interfere with a student’s learning experience.

“That’s what we need to concentrate on, and I think it’s doing these kids a disservice by allowing them to be able to wear whatever they want to school,” said Van Hoek.

Another board member that voted for the updated policy, sent Arizona’s Family this statement.

GILBERT, Ariz. — There's something strange in Gilbert... A bone-chilling sight haunts the streets, but don't jump out of your skin! This 12-foot-tall skeleton and his owner are all about having a happy Halloween!

Gilbert resident Jennifer Papp set up her bone-headed passenger for the spooky season, and they've been turning heads all month.

"I am a fanatic, I love Halloween," Jennifer told us. "My house is transformed! Anytime I can sneak some Halloween into my life, I do so."

Fortunately, the skeleton hasn't scared people off.

Skeletons stalk the streets of Gilbert

1 / 4

Jennifer Papp

There's something spooky on the streets of Gilbert...

"It's joyful! People are smiling and thumbs up and waving and honking. And I have a playlist that I play and I just like to laugh to myself."

Hits like "Staying Alive," "Thriller," and "Tha Crossroads" are some of Jennifer's recommendations for the bone-rattling drive.

Now, we can't tell you the skeleton's name but some of our keen readers can probably hazard a guess. We'll give you a hint: It's a Growing Pains reference!

So if you see him out on the streets, give him a wave!

"If you see him around, say hi, smile and you know, have a good day," Jennifer said.

Gilbert has a place to view the solar eclipse safely

The Gilbert Rotary Centennial Observatory is ready for one of the bigger celestial events of 2023 – a total solar eclipse.Located at the Riparian Preserve at 2757 E Guadalupe Road and managed by the East Valley Astronomy Club, the observatory will be open 8 a.m.-noon Saturday, Oct. 14.This year the solar eclipse will be especially visible in the Valley.“The centerline of the eclipse is in the Four Corners region of northern Arizona.

The Gilbert Rotary Centennial Observatory is ready for one of the bigger celestial events of 2023 – a total solar eclipse.

Located at the Riparian Preserve at 2757 E Guadalupe Road and managed by the East Valley Astronomy Club, the observatory will be open 8 a.m.-noon Saturday, Oct. 14.

This year the solar eclipse will be especially visible in the Valley.

“The centerline of the eclipse is in the Four Corners region of northern Arizona. Phoenix will have about 85% of the sun obscured,” said Observatory Manager Claude Haynes.

He added that the moon will start obscuring the sun at 8:10 a.m. and pretty much obscure it by 9:31 a.m. before the eclipse finally ends at 11:01 a.m.

While the event is called in astronomy circles “The Annular Eclipse,” Haynes said, “Despite the name, it happens rarely – not every year.

“The name is from Latin and refers to ‘ring shaped’ because this is a ‘Ring of Fire eclipse’ caused by the moon being closer to earth and not fully blocking out the sun, as happens in a total solar eclipse.”

If you miss this one, he added, you’ll have to wait until next April 8.

The Gilbert observatory is a far better place to witness the event than just about anywhere else, according to Haynes.

That’s because people should not look at the eclipse directly because that can cause blindness or at least severe eye damage.

The observatory “is a safe way to view a fun astronomical event,” Haynes said.

“Filtered telescopes will enable visitors to view the eclipse, and special glasses will be available as well.”

Next Saturday morning’s viewing is special for the observatory. Normally, it is open to the public for regular viewing from sunset to 9:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, weather permitting.

The observatory also is popular with visitors to Gilbert.

In 2018 – the last time it conducted such a survey – short-term rental platform Airbnb listed the Gilbert observatory as one of the top five “astro-tourism” spots in the country.

Established by the Gilbert Rotary Club in 2006, the observatory has a 16-inch telescope and attracts people from around the Valley.

On an average night, scores of people visit to peer through the telescope. Annual visits total over 10,000 and the observatory is well past a total 100,000 guests.

“We have lots of kids who come, and they are fascinated,” Haynes said in a previous interview. “Grandmothers come along and say ‘I’ve never looked through a telescope before’ and they are 80.”

GILBERT, AZ — Some residents in Gilbert are pushing back at the plans to bring a Bottled Blonde location to the Heritage District.

“This establishment does not reflect our community,” said Erin Rohr.

She and others voiced strong opinions Tuesday at a neighborhood meeting in the town.

“I think people are going to realize this is a great business for the town,” insisted CEO and Founder of WAGS Capital Aaron Wagner.

His development firm bought the property about a year ago, which was formerly a coffee shop called Bergies.

“The town of Gilbert has really termed the Heritage District the entertainment district,” said Wagner.

He's been working with the founder of Bottled Blonde in Scottsdale to bring a new location to Gilbert.

The Phoenix Business Journal originally reported the new Bottled Blonde location in June.

But the plans have faced pushback, as thousands have signed an online petition against the concept.

“The concern to me is it’s not necessarily a popular use for the community,” said long-time Gilbert resident Mary Ellen Fresquez.

Many people at the neighborhood meeting Tuesday told ABC15 they were against it.

“The biggest issue for us is the restaurant concept,” said Brad Smith.

He owns the building next door which holds several businesses including a breakfast restaurant, a women’s co-working space, and a rooftop bar.

“What concerns me having the density of one bar next to another and not having a diversity of businesses,” said Fresquez.

The Scottsdale Bottled Blonde location is a bar and restaurant by day and a club by night.

Some people are concerned the attire and concept won't be family-friendly.

“Our families hang out there,” said Rohr. “Our children hang out there.”

The owners of Bottled Blonde weren't at the meeting to answer questions, but Wagner told ABC15 they had heard the feedback.

“My partner, Les with Bottled Blonde, he's done a really great job with hearing that feedback and input and taking that and changing a lot of ways that he operates the business,” said Wagner.

He says that includes listening to concerns about seeing into the business, noise, and making sure the sidewalk is accessible.

“There are people that are signing petitions, as you guys know, that are opposed,” said Wagner. But we get flooded with hundreds if not thousands of people in support and excitement for the venue as well.

City planners told ABC15 before the meeting that this is allowed within zoning guidelines, but those we talked to Tuesday left still not convinced.

“It is not who Gilbert is,” said Rohr. “This is not our family-friendly downtown Gilbert.”

Wagner's team still has to formally submit their design proposal, but if everything moves forward, their plan is to start construction in 2024.

Gilbert community learns more about proposed Bottled Blonde location in downtown

GILBERT, AZ (3TV/CBS 5) - A meeting was held Tuesday for the developers of a downtown Gilbert space to interact with locals about a new proposed Bottled Blonde location. The original one is in the Old Town Scottsdale neighborhood.

Some in Gilbert have concerns about this bar/restaurant, which turns into more of a nightclub where servers wear revealing outfits on Friday and Saturday nights, and its potential impact on the overall Gilbert nightlife scene.

It’s important to note that the developers, Wags Capital, have not submitted an application yet to begin building on the space where Bergie’s Coffee Roast House used to be. Wags Capital CEO Aaron Wagner hopes the new Bottled Blonde will be up and running in 2025. The renderings at Tuesday’s meeting show this is clearly going to be a much taller building than Bergie’s was. It’ll be two stories but 42 feet high, with 16-foot-high ceilings.

Some, like Wagner, think it’ll bring a big-time boost to the Gilbert nightlife scene. But others, like Brad Smith, who owns the building next door, which includes a coworking space just for women, wonders if a nightclub with servers wearing revealing outfits is what’s best for Gilbert’s downtown. “That style of restaurant like Bottled Blonde creates an atmosphere where women are objectified,” Smith said. “Are they objectifying them? No. But you’re creating that atmosphere where women are being objectified.”

“I don’t know anyone who operates their coworking space or offices past 10 p.m.,” Wagner responded. “I just don’t think it’s going to be a real concern. People like to bring that stuff up because people like to be in opposition, right?” The plan is for the Bottled Blonde to transition from a sports bar atmosphere to a nightclub atmosphere on Fridays and Saturdays only, starting at 10 p.m.
