According to our founder problems with the software and their provider gives Cafety some trouble right now.
Not the best timing considering that the industry is on the run and shoud be kept running.

i was a student there. it wasnt what you all are making of it. although one student there almost dies from an allergic reaction to peanuts. he had a different diet than all of us because of his allergies. but they spilled granola on an oven and he breathed the fumes. he was my friend and almost died. but the staff saved him because they were all prepared to do what they do.

--- Quote from: "toolate" ---Attn: The Who. You should be called the Was because you have no idea what in the world you are talking about when you speak of Matthew Meyer and how he died at LSE. The autopsy report took almost 6 weeks to be completed, and trust me when I say, his heart was just fine. The night before he died, he complained of numb legs, stumbling, mumbling, the field instructors called the psychologist and said what Matt was doing, he determined it was an anxiety attack and not to worry about. The next morning Matt wouldn't eat, at lunch, he said he couldn't go any further, the other kids even offered to carry him, but I guess some sort of peer pressure was used (that I can't guarantee) and Matt was helped up. A 1 mile hike turned into over 3 miles because the navigator got lost. The heat index was 115 to 130 that day. Matt had to keep stopping, but made to go on. The last 200 yards were strictly unexplainable, but when he did make it to the camp he collapsed. Yeah the field instructors kept telling him to get up and set up camp, he could lay down later. This happened several times. He was told if he didn't get up he (field instructor) would pour water on him. So water was thrown on him several times. After about 20 minutes, Matt started making a sound like snoring, he was aspirating, and he was told to get up and quit faking, several times. Matt was already dying by the time 1 of the 3 field inspectors finally actually looked at Matt. It took almost 45 minutes before anyone called an ambulance, and Life Flight was on stand by, but they told them to wait. I can go on and on and on. But what I have said to you, you can take to the bank.
