Irish Mom,

Thanks for the insight into the local dynamic.  It is interesting to learn about the genius of the WWASPS programs and why it is so hard to gain local support against the different facilities.  

I also understand that if you were not completely aware of WWASPS as a whole, you would think that you could bring about change in an individual program of theirs.  It may take about a year to realize that the way it is set up is on purpose, and not for lack of vision or organization.

You know, many former employees would not even bother to come onto this forum, so thank you.  I hope that we can all learn more from your experience at SCL.

"It was the same way in LaVerkin, where Cross Creek Manor is.  It is an extremely small town; one could walk from one side to the other.  Bob Litchfield is related by blood or marriage to many of the staff.  His wife's maiden name was Peart.  His sister in law is Marie Peart, who claims to be a neutral ed con, her son and also husband Blair worked at CCM, his sister Mary Beth worked at CCM and then got married and her husband got a program, brother Narvin worked at Teen Help referral service located in the same building as Brightway when it was open, etc.  Karr Farnsworth's wife and daughter also work for CCM.  Many staff would get jobs and get their spouses, siblings, or other relatives hired, so they stood to lose all income if they had problems at work.  I am very grateful that I live in California and don't have so few options that I have to choose between my income and my morals.  However, I do wonder what the families working for SCL did before the facility opened."


Wow, that is just SCARY. Don't any parents actually VISIT the facility they are sending their kids? Doesn't it BOTHER them that there is one big pylogamous family running the operation? Don't they wonder why they pick the most isolated towns where no one questions what is going on? Sometimes I am susprised at how little parents look into these facilities.

Um, actually I do.........and yes they are smart business men. They are not "bad boys", bad boys to me are hot guys who are commitment phobic, and every chick in town is trying to nail them down.

Sorry, not these guys.......who are old, overweight, and don't know how to dress! Also bad boys don't make money off of kiddie torture prisons........they are the ones out there trying to get these places shut down!!!

Bad boys......please! HA!

Despair or folly?  It is not despair, for despair is only for those who see the end beyond all doubt.  We do not.  It is wisdom to recognize neccessity, when all other courses have been weighed, though as folly it may appear to those who cling to false h

As stated in this article, funeral arrangements are being handled by

Ranfranz & Vine Funeral Homes
5421 Royal Place NW
Rochester, MN 55901


The date has not been set, but may be Saturday.

Family of Niki Thomas
552 21st St. NE
Rochester, MN 55906



The Rochester Post-Bulletin April 4, 2006

A Rochester woman and her son, missing for nearly a week in Montana, were
found dead late Monday afternoon near their rental vehicle. The suspected
cause of death is hypothermia.

It appears the pair tried to walk for help after their rental vehicle became
stuck on a snow-clogged mountain pass.

"We know they left the vehicle and were not far from the vehicle," said
George Zahhos, the father of Niki Thomas, 51, and grandfather of Nicholas,
15. "We're still in shock and trying to get more information, but at least
we know they were not alone. They were together."

An autopsy is expected to be performed to pinpoint the cause of death.
Funeral services are pending; arrangements are being made through Ranfranz
and Vine Funeral Homes.

Niki and Nicholas Thomas were found near Superior, Mont., in Mineral County.


Niki Thomas, a paraprofessional in the library at Mayo High School, had
traveled to Thompson Falls, Mont., last week during spring break to visit
her youngest son, who was attending Spring Creek Lodge Academy, a western
Montana boarding school. It was a surprise visit and one paid for by Niki's
family, as a birthday present.

The last time anyone heard from the two was last Tuesday as they were
returning to the school from a dentist appointment for Nicholas in Missoula,
about a two-hour trip.

At some point, they took a side road and became stuck in deep snow. Zahhos
said he was told the rental vehicle was out of gas, perhaps indicating they
had run it to stay warm. It was uncertain how long the mother and son had
been dead.

I don't know the area, or the weather conditions....but don't you find it odd that when they were conducting the search and rescue they didn't find the vehicle? It took them a whole week? That's a little odd, don't you think?

Not really there is a lot of roads that should be closed this time of the year. With 15 feet of snow there is a lot of roads in the mountains it is easy to take the wrong ones and sliding off the road it could be hard to find them. Plus SCL would be loosing money.

The family and other families that attend the school were there looking also not only SCL employee's.
