The Whitmore mansion is more than the Inn, a bed-and-breakfast, it is also the Whitmore Academy a place for troubled youth to find strong foundation, much like the home which was built in 1898.
Mark Sudweeks and his wife are the owners of the Whitmore and still use the second floor for a bed-and-breakfast however, the home has also become a place of learning.
"In order to meet the state requirements, we need a business license that is more appropriate than as a bed and breakfast," said Sudweeks.
Currently there are 12 students living at the home and under the care of the Sudweeks.
The couple have been providing opportunities for youth who have trouble at home and in school for the past 25 years and have four such locations known as "Who Am I Discovery" residential treatment center.
The other locations are in Kleena Kleene, British Columbia, Canada; Baja California, SUR, Mexico; the Whitmore and the Ridge Equine Center in Levan.
Sudweeks told the council that they do not need to be concerned about the young people who stay at the home being trouble-makers in the community because they are youth who also recognize that they need to make a change in their lives.
In addition, they are not adjudicated, or required by a court to attend a court-approved facility.
Nevertheless, said Sudweeks, in order for the center to meet the requirements of the state, a different type of license is needed. That is where the city can assist.
"I had a conversation with the state and we will be prepared to offer the different license upon our hearing, officially, from the state," said Chad Brough, mayor.
Students who live at the center earn the schooling from the Nebo School District.
"We tried to work through the Juab School District but they did not have the program we needed," said Sudweeks. "Therefore we are working with the Nebo School District because they have the Landmark School which is just what we needed."
A typical city business license allows the pursuit of a business, such as the bed and breakfast, on the premises of the establishment and that will do fine for that part of the business.
However, said Sudweeks, it is important for the residential treatment center, in order to be approved by the state, to have a different sort of license that will allow young people to be housed for the purpose of therapy.
"Our curriculum is fully accredited and accepted by most schools and university's" he said. "Independent learning, at an individual pace, promotes confidence within, as we achieve educational goals as they relate to specific graduation requirements."
The teens in the Utah program, at the Whitmore Academy, have the benefit of the home, with 12 beautiful rooms, a swimming pool and Jacuzzi. In addition, they can enjoy the majestic mountains and the nearby beauty of Little Sahara Sand Dunes, Lake Powell, Canyon Lands National Parks, Zions Park and many other natural wonders.
"It is not our goal to take the kids out of the slum, rather we want to take the 'slum' out of the kids," he said,

No longer in operation? Is that official? I heard they may be trying to open up another one, true?

Caitlyn Corpse?

Down at the bottom, there's this:
Whitmore Academy
Nephi, UT US
network administrator & webmaster
technology
10/2003 - 08/2005
-
Whitmore Academy is still operating....the Suds have the very few remaining kids down in Mexico.
Yes, Cheryl Sudweeks will be tried in criminal court for child abuse in September 2006. She has been charged with 7 counts against 7 different children.
Guess they want people to think they are out of business....since the Utah Office of Licensing is watching them so closely.
Maybe the Suds are too busy with attorneys taking care of their criminal defense, and the civil case filed against them to speak for themselves.
-
Caitlyn advertises on MY SPACE that she was a resident in a treatment facility? How sad is that?
-
She was - for 4 days - didn't need to be there and went to Whitmore.... so, not sad at all.
-
Whitmore Academy was a licensed treament facility for the dates listed on MY SPACE. And yes, that is sad to list attendance there--the owner has been charged with criminal child abuse; and the Whitmore license has been revoked by the State of Utah. Why associate oneself with such a place?
-
She is a cute girl...kinda looks like Jodie Foster.
-
Looks to me more like she worked for the school as a webmaster - rather than attended as a student. At least that is what the job description sounds like to me.
-
I know her: she was a student all that time, and worked on the weblog, computer stuff for Cheryl Sudweeks the owner. Just glorified her duties a bit to make it sound better.
-
Sure, the kids did lots of "computer work" for Cheryl Sudweeks:
Like forging school transcripts.
Forging passes to "BYU Student Week" at the University.
One student even did "intakes" for Dr. Bernie--the so-called-PhD-Therapist at Whitmore.
One student even was the "acting registrar"
Some of these kids at Whitmore were a regular little "computer whiz."
This Caitlyn who is so proud of her time at Whitmore posts here on FORNITS as "Whitmore Alumni"---she's a regular-little-Cheryl-supporter.
Don't make her mad, or she will cuss you like a SAILOR-GIRL.

FYI - Apparently that link for CAICA is an old one because it can not be found on their current website. Also, Whitmore is NOT listed on their facility watch list either.

Yea, that's strange, isn't it that CAICA took down all the pages that made reference to Whitmore Academy?

hey i went to whitmore, and i was just wondering if half of you people posting on this forum do it because you care, or because you think its cool that you have a say on something online, or because you think it's pissing the people off or whatever im not shooting you down i just wan interested in what you wanna do here because it just makes me sad to see people shooting someone down that i care for deeply almost two years after i left the whitmore. My name is Mark Ponte i went to the whitmore on november 17th of 2003 and i came back on november 18th of 2005. it might have been the 19th i dont remember quite so clearly. it doesnt matter either way. i don't think there was any "brain washing" or any of that stuff that you guys say is going on, but to me the only people i respect hearing from are the people that attended the whitmore because those are the only people that really know what went on there, and they will support me in saying that the sudweeks don't deserve to go through this.
-
yea it was november of 2004 when i got out my bad im sure all of you will rip on me for that cuz i made a mistake
-
Avid Folkes, I don't think anyone on this forum would "rip on you because you made a mistake" no matter what the mistake might be.
And most people do not post here because it is "cool" or just to "piss people off."
I find this statement by you interesting:
That the only people you respect are those who "...attended Whitmore because they are the only people that know what went on there."
Does that mean you "respect" the 4 victims that have accused Cheryl Sudweeks of abusing them. The 4 kids that Cheryl Sudweeks will go to trial for abusing/hazing? These four certainly KNOW what went on at Whitmore, and they have told what went on.
-
What do you think Cheryl Sudweeks "deserves to go through" for what she did to the 4 victims in the criminal case?
What do you think should happen, Mark?
-
What do you mean you came back Nov 18, 2005?
Are you enrolled at Whitmore Academy again?
Or did you just come back to visit?
