Fabrizio, is that you, my boy-toy?  I told you never to post here, I'm not ready to be "outted". My wife reads this - you know, the one I think is so great?

But oh yeah, "stalking" the public postings of program staff and bashing a guy who's posts I ignore is serious kicks, Fab.  Trolling is Big Gay Fun - look what you're doing.

I get your point, though.  I'm the only poster who thinks theSpew is an abomination, and I feel really, really awful about it.  Tell Whootie to name his 10 favorite programs and I'll send tokens of my esteem to each one.

Damn, Gookin, why are you riding my ass like Mary into Jerusalem?  Finding a counselor admitting to "taking down" a patient in order for a nurse to shoot up the "booty juice" is a pretty damning piece of brimstone.

Check out the YLF-Google bunker/war room - ball's passed to you, beee-yotch!  I told ya to plan...

What exactly is the educational background of PV's new program director, Bob Pegler?  Is he a licensed health service provider in TN?  According to the PV website on July 9, 2006, Pegler was a state licensed psychologist and health service provider and a member of the APA.  I highlighted the questionable degree and licenses.
   

Bob Pegler, CAS

He has a background working with adolescents in treatment settings for over 20 years. He was one of the founding staff at Peninsula Village in 1986. He has a background as an Activity Therapist, and has specialized in Addiction Therapy since 1984, when he helped in creating the Youth Chemical Dependency Unit at Peninsula Hospital. He lives with his family in Knoxville, and has two adolescents of his own.

On Staff at Peninsula Village Since: 2004




Do they have a psychology program where they teach the ropes crap?  Dunno.  But now:


Bob Pegler, CAS

Where did the psychology license go?  Call the fraud patrol PV is laying down a con.  Imagine that.

After spending most of 48 hours reading 600+ pages of PV medical records, making Pegler the program director is in alignment with Village (idiot) logic. 

The rumor is, Pegler is already batshit crazy on a power trip - he shaved his head completely, sits in the dark and mutters stuff about snails crawling down razor blades into a mini-recorder.  PV's patients have been seen running through the woods in groups, heavily armed, camouflaged, and training for an intense military engagement.  Kreflo said Pegler is planning to invade Maryville, Sevierville, every "ville" around PV until he controls the entirety of meth-rich Blount County.  When he achieves his glory, he plans to declare himself King Bob, Lord of All the Beasts and Fishes.

Peninsula Village is the Titanic, and Pegler is the iceberg.

You know PV is getting desperate when they decide it would be a good idea to proclaim a fat uneducated drunk as their Program Director, and then drag an old hag back to prop up and label Clinical Director. I know for a fact that Fornits readers aren't the only people who have taken notice of this.

I have taken it upon myself to let a few communities know what sort of people they are living near. Check out this link:

Hopefully a neighbor or two will see one of these posts and ask them about it.

Sorry if this has already been discussed, but I just now came across this article:

http://www.dailyprogress.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=CDP/MGArticle/CDP_BasicArticle&c=MGArticle&cid=1149190716458&path=

Quote
Hawranke, Newsom and the 13-year-old eighth-graders at Jack Jouett Middle School were convicted in juvenile court of conspiracy to commit murder and conspiracy to use an explosive device to blow up a school.

Quote
After serving seven months in juvenile detention, Hawranke is now being treated just outside of Knoxville, Tenn., at Peninsula Village, a home for troubled youth.

Does anyone have more info on this case?

One more. I found this article from way back in 2003 but thought it was worth sharing. You have to create an account to view it, but I put in bogus info and it worked.

http://www.marketingprofs.com/3/stroll8.asp

It's an article about business marketing and for some reason PV chipped in. Here's the relevant part:

Quote
Don Vardell, Administrator for Peninsula Village, reminds us of the importance of backing up both strategies:

You say you have some existing sales capacity with the 2 managers and 11 reps. Is that enough to manage your current customers and meet your growth objectives? If you conduct new/additional brand awareness activities (advertising, merchandising and promotion) will you be able to meet the potential new business with your current sales capacity? Bottom line: you may need to do both. You wouldn't want to spend your whole wad on a great branding strategy, if you can't back it up with sales execution, and consistent, quality service (with a great value).

There are some posts about him, I think they're on the PV homicidal alumni thread.

Don't forget, Don (jump ship)Vardell is a business man first. He appears to be kind of ashamed of his stint at PV... http://www.excelacademy.com/staff.html
Wait...isn't PV supposed to be a "world class treatment facility" a place to be proud of?
He went to ASR from there and on to United Health Services
http://www.uhsinc.com/hospitals.php?type=behavioral.
He bailed after about six months there (curiously around the time of a couple of deaths at UHS facilites like Chad Youth Enhancement Center) and went back to his Aspen Roots to work magic at Excell Academy

Hawranke should have been in PV while you were there, act.  However, the state of TN might have objected to "hosting" the guy and refused to take responsibility for him, like Andy Klepper. 

There's more on Hawranke on the PV homicidal alumni thread, or alumnus. 

I don't feel sorry for the rich little felons like Hawranke and Klepper, but the Matthew Grant story is tragic.  He did shoot a cop, but...there was a lot of abuse and exposure to drugs from the time he was a toddler.  Grant's grandparents bankrupted themselves to pay for PV, hoping such an "acclaimed" program could help him.  Instead, PV did nothing, Grant felt alienated and tried to escape from the place, and his PV family therapist, Jean Bolding, hung him out to dry with her testimony during the murder trial.  Ironic, considering she was called in by the defense team.  After reading Grant's account of the shooting, I don't see how the prosecution could even consider it a premeditated homicide.  Not to sound too bleeding heart, but Matthew Grant was a poor kid, and he was run over roughshod by the system and swept under the rug.

Thanks for the info Zen. I don't remember Dominic Hawranke being at PV while I was there. The name does sound familiar though, so I may have met him at Peninsula Hospital across the street.
