So Spring Creek Lodge is to be re-opened as River-view?

I don't recognize these people's names - do you? Anyone?

Seems Mickey used to work for SCL.

I'm a slow slow bear. I rarely even think in words. I have to "practice conversation" to keep myself tuned up for potential communications with others.  :D

Perhaps some quoted material from Mickey herself would serve best ... to illustrate why this announcement set off warning bells for me.

This is from the 2005 Missoula Independent article "Spring Creek's Short Leash" (by John S. Adams)* which described 16-year old Karlye Anne Newman's suicide by hanging, amongst myriad other indignities:

Mickey Manning, Spring Creek's principal, says the school's detractors should not be believed.

"The population you are speaking to is definitely a biased group that really fervently believes what they are saying," Manning says.

Manning maintains that parents and students who left Spring Creek and today denounce its practices are in denial about the problems in their own families.

"Part of it is to protect themselves from the pain of the reality of what they've gone through," says Manning. "As far as the kids are concerned, they are going to manipulate to the hills, because that's what these kids do."[/color][/list]
