Third of three parts

Eight months had passed since the night Cathy and Steven Petershack hired men

with handcuffs to escort their troubled son to a harsh boarding school in

Costa Rica. In all that time, they had heard his voice on the phone just

once, for five minutes on Christmas Day.

Breaking Joel

Desperate Steps, Dark Journey


PART 1: The knock came at 3:05 a.m. Two men stepped from the darkness and

went straight to the couch where the boy was resting. Joel Snider went for

the back door, but before he could make it, he felt the pinch of a handcuff

closing around his left wrist.
PART 2: At the school in Costa Rica, Joel rebelled more. And the school got

tougher. Hour after hour, he was forced to stand with his nose against the

wall. At other times, he was made to kneel, nose to the wall, hands behind

his back, as if he were under arrest.
PART 3: After months of trusting the academy, his mother suddenly was wary.

Hours later, she heard her son's voice for the first time in five months.

Joel was crying.

His e-mails home to Milwaukee only added to the mystery of how he was doing.

In some, Joel, now 17, seemed contrite, ready to give up the thieving, drug

use and fighting that had driven the Petershacks to send him to Academy at

Dundee Ranch in August 2002.

In other e-mails, he just sounded angry.

By spring 2003, his parents wondered what was going on at the $2,100-a-month

academy. Unbeknown to the Petershacks, Costa Rican authorities were asking

the same question.

The school had tripled in size, from about 65 students in March 2002 to 200

students roughly a year later. With 10 or more children sharing some rooms,

viruses spread rapidly.

"Twice, they had this virus - we did not know if it was the food or the

water. They had vomiting and diarrhea," said Edgar Leguizamon, the academy's

physician. "Half of the students had it."

In 2003, complaints about the academy reached the Costa Rican child welfare

agency, Patronato Nacional de la Infancia, commonly called PANI. Susan

Flowers, an American who reportedly had lost custody of her daughter in a

divorce, told government officials the girl was being held at Dundee Ranch

against her will.

The agency visited the academy in February, and again a month later. In

March, former Dundee Ranch Director Amberly Knight sent the agency a letter

warning that the school was using "untrained, unqualified staff," "providing

the bare minimum of food and living essentials," and putting students at

"physical and emotional risk."

There had been articles, too, in the Costa Rican press raising questions

about the unusual school operating in a former resort outside Orotina, about

a 15 minute drive from the Pacific Ocean.

Joel knew none of this. He saw no newspapers or television. He did not know

the United States had gone to war in Iraq.

The controversy over the school built slowly in Costa Rica until the day in

May 2003 when Flowers sat down with a local prosecutor named Fernando Vargas.

"She told me a very unusual story, like a movie story," said Vargas, a

square-jawed 35-year-old, who was filling in for a colleague in the office

halfway between Orotina and the Costa Rican capital, San Jose.

The story, Vargas recalled, was about a large, wealthy educational

organization that used extreme methods to punish difficult children. From

experience, he knew that people often tell outlandish stories in the

prosecutor's office.

He would see if this was a "movie story," or real.

Catching attention
Costa Rican prosecutor heads to the academy
Vargas spent the weekend scanning the Internet for information on the World

Wide Association of Specialty Programs and Schools, the group of teen centers

that included Dundee Ranch. The prosecutor read accounts of the punishments

used by these schools. News articles described affiliated schools in Mexico,

Samoa and the Czech Republic that closed following allegations of abuse.

The following week, Vargas applied for a warrant to raid Dundee Ranch. He

found out there already was a thick file on the academy compiled by the child

welfare agency. Among other problems, the agency had found overcrowding,

insufficient food for some and a number of children with immigration

problems.

"Some did not know where they were," said Rosalia Gil, Costa Rica's minister

of children's affairs.

The prosecutor was annoyed that child welfare officials had allowed Dundee

Ranch time to correct practices that he considered human rights abuses. He

believed some of the physical punishments - restraining children and forcing

them to exercise or stare at walls - violated the United Nations' Convention

on the Rights of the Child, a document ratified by Costa Rica, but not by the

United States.

Before heading to Dundee Ranch, Vargas said, he told the child welfare

agency, "If they can't comply, you have to close the place and take the

children away."

On the scorching, muggy afternoon of May 20, Vargas arrived at the academy

accompanied by 50 police officers, detectives and officials from the child

welfare agency. As required by Costa Rican law, a judge also accompanied the

raid.

Joel was eating lunch in the cafeteria when he saw the cars drive up and men

with guns jump out. The students kept eating. No one remarked on the men with

guns because they were not allowed to talk.

Outside the cafeteria, students approached the prosecutor.

"When we got there, young people were seeing us as saviors," Vargas said.

"They were saying in English, 'Shut down this place,' 'Help us,' 'I want to

talk with my mom.' "

But that was not what Susan Flowers' daughter said when Vargas spoke with

her. She said she was fine.

Nonetheless, Vargas planned to take statements from other students,

especially those who had fewer points for good behavior and were unlikely to

earn their way out of the academy anytime soon. They would have less to risk

by speaking out.

The young prosecutor led students into the cafeteria. Academy staff were

ordered to remain outside, 50 meters back.

"You cannot be in a place against your will," Vargas told the students,

explaining their rights under Costa Rican law.

He said the students could communicate with their parents and send e-mails

home without anyone editing or censoring them. Even inmates in the country's

jails retain those rights. Vargas then passed out sheets of paper on which

students could make complaints anonymously.

As the prosecutor spoke, an excited chatter rose among the students. Some

cried and hugged. Joel felt something absent in him for a long time, "that

little spirit of hope."

When students left the cafeteria, chaos ensued.

The judge and prosecutor argued, the judge insisting this was a "witch hunt"

because the one girl the prosecutor had come to see - Flowers' daughter - had

reported no abuse.

Vargas insisted he needed more time to gather evidence. But under Costa Rican

law, Vargas could not remain on the property once the judge left.

When the judge drove off, Vargas was forced to follow, leaving behind

computer files and other evidence.

'Just bring me home'
Reports of student riot make mother take action
The judge and prosecutor were not the only ones departing the academy in a

hurry. More than two dozen students - some barefoot - fled, hopping the fence

and following the dirt road toward Orotina. Other students began vandalizing

the school.

"Everybody ran in every direction," Joel said.

After nine months of rebellion and punishment, Joel was surprisingly low-key.

When the other students ran, he walked back to one of the rooms. He picked up

a guitar, lay on the bed and began to play.

He could hear students running and people chasing them. It made no sense, he

thought, to flee into the countryside. How far would he get in a land he

didn't know?

Later, the academy and its supporters would say that Vargas caused the riot

at Dundee Ranch by telling students they were free to leave. Jan

Bezuidenhout, a parent who was visiting the academy, took detailed notes

describing the raid and riot. She said the prosecutor and other officials

left that afternoon because "they saw the chaos they had created and didn't

want to face it."

The prosecutor denied this, offering his own theory.

"I think this riot was because we promised something to the children and then

we left with no explanation," Vargas said. "They always thought that we will

take away the suspects or take the children out. But they never thought we

would go out and leave them with their captors."

On the morning after the riot, Dundee staff gathered students in small groups

and asked them to sign a form saying that they had been treated well and not

abused.

"I thought it was an outrageous request for the staff to make of the kids,"

said Bezuidenhout, who supported Dundee Ranch in other respects.

Joel read the form and handed it back.

"I won't sign it," he said.

Joel and other students who refused to sign the form were placed inside the

"high impact" facility, the walled compound Joel had helped to build. Academy

staff stood guard at the entrance preventing the students from leaving. When

Joel tried to walk out, one of the guards cracked a wooden board across his

legs.

In Milwaukee, Cathy Petershack clicked onto the Web site for Dundee Ranch

parents, and her eyes went straight to a message asking if anyone knew about

the raid. Students had run away.

Cathy grabbed the phone and punched in the academy's number.

The staff member in charge of Joel answered brightly, telling Cathy there was

good news. Joel had finally earned enough points for a phone call later in

the day.

After months of trusting the academy, Cathy was suddenly wary. What about the

report of a raid and students missing?

"Tell me," she said, "is my son even there?"

Joel is here, the man answered. He's cooperating. Yes, the academy is having

a little difficulty, but it will be taken care of in a day or two.

Cathy wanted to hear her son.

Hours later, in the early evening, she heard his voice for the first time in

five months. Joel was crying.

"Just bring me home. Give me a chance to talk to you," he pleaded. "Let me

tell you what's happened."

Cathy asked if he could wait a day for her to fly to Costa Rica and bring him

home. Joel wanted to leave right away. He was willing to fly alone.

When they finished talking, Joel's family representative got on the phone. He

told Cathy: Joel is manipulating you again. He is not ready to come home.

This time Cathy believed her son.

"Joel is coming home," she said.

Leaving it behind
School closes amid praise, condemnation
On May 22, 2003, at 4 in the morning, Joel left Dundee Ranch for the airport

in San Jose. Tired as he was, he could not sleep. He thought how happy he'd

be to eat airline food.

As the small plane rose, Joel took a last look down at the dark Costa Rican

landscape and thought: I'm free.

The place he'd come to view as his prison would close within a few days,

reeling from the riot and a government investigation. The owner, Narvin

Lichfield, would be arrested by Costa Rican police, then released.

Vargas, the young prosecutor, would receive e-mails and letters of support

from more than a dozen parents of Dundee students. But those would be far

outnumbered by messages from academy supporters such as Bezuidenhout, who

said that in her daughter's case, "I honestly do think it kept her alive."

Finally, Costa Rica's human rights ombudsman for children would write a harsh

report criticizing the child welfare agency for knowing about abuses at

Dundee Ranch for more than a year and failing to act.

Joel left all of the controversy behind.

At Mitchell International Airport in Milwaukee, Cathy scanned the crowds in

the arrivals area, looking for the boy she had not seen in nine months. Her

eyes caught a glimpse of a skinny young man in white pants and a white Nike

shirt. His face looked gaunt. Dark circles ringed his eyes. Skin drooped down

from arms that were once bulky and muscular.

Joel had left Milwaukee weighing 280 pounds. He returned weighing 180.

"Oh my God," Cathy said. "What did I do?"

Measured steps
Change is apparent, but price was steep
They took things slowly.

That weekend, the Petershacks drove their son to the family cabin in

Rhinelander, the place where Joel and his stepfather had bonded years ago.

They didn't press Joel for details about what happened in Costa Rica. They

waited for him to raise the subject. He didn't. A year would pass before he

spoke about Dundee Ranch, and then the story would emerge mostly in

fragments.

"Some days I'll push him to talk, and he says, 'Mom, please leave it be,' "

Cathy Petershack said. "He's told me he'll never forgive me for doing it."

Cathy said she never realized how harsh the punishment would be at Dundee

Ranch and never would have authorized the academy to restrain Joel had she

known what that meant.

As for the classes Joel took, they had little value in Milwaukee. None of his

credits in Costa Rica were accepted here.

All told, the decision to send Joel to Dundee Ranch cost the Petershacks

close to $25,000. When Cathy complained, the company sent her a refund check

- for $985.

And yet, it was clear Joel had changed.

Now, when he left the house, he would give his mother and stepfather a hug

and kiss. For the first time in his life, he got a job. He worked at United

Parcel Service, then took a second job at a pizza parlor.

In fall 2003, Joel began attending classes four days a week to gain his high

school equivalency diploma.

His teacher, Pamela Bolden-Etter, had heard about Joel's rebellious past but

saw no hint of it in her classroom. He was quiet and focused on his work.

With two jobs, Joel often came to class tired.

Though friendly, he didn't socialize much.

"I do not allow people to know who I am," he said.

Even so, Bolden-Etter liked him. She described him with a word that would

have shocked the people who knew Joel before he went to Costa Rica: lovable.

Sometimes he hugged her. Always, he thanked her.

The teacher had no doubt Joel would get his degree, and he did.

On a rainy evening in June 2004, Cathy and Steven Petershack relaxed with

their son and daughter in the small teachers lounge at Juneau Business High

School.

It was less than an hour until Joel's graduation, and he looked excited,

though he would not be going to any of the graduation parties. He had to work

the 3 a.m. shift at UPS.

"How are you feeling?" Bolden-Etter asked.

"Tired," he said. "I haven't slept."

"That's how your life goes," the teacher said gently.

The graduation speeches were short; everyone seemed eager to get to the

awarding of degrees. As the names were called, graduates crossed the stage,

pumping their fists, waving, dancing, strutting, high-fiving.

When his name was called, Joel smiled and opened his right arm in an

expansive gesture, as if to say, Of course, I made it.

Cathy cried.

After the ceremony, the graduates left the auditorium. Then the Petershacks

filed into the hallway, wading into the sea of parents looking for their

children.

Steven and Cathy eased down the hallway, standing on tiptoes, straining to

see their son.

"Here he comes," Cathy said finally.

Steven surged forward and caught his stepson in a bear hug.

"Yeah! Yeah!" he shouted. "You did it, my son."

Cathy leaned in and kissed her son's face.

Joel was smiling - for the first time in months.

Postscript
On a warm afternoon in early fall, more than a year after the riot and the

closure of Dundee Ranch, a man named Harold Dabel walked the flowered grounds

of the academy, showing off the new boarding school rising from the ruins of

the old one. It is called Pillars of Hope and will cater to troubled American

youths graduating from other programs. It will be very different from Dundee,

said Dabel, the new administrator.

No longer will students be brought by force, as Joel was. The new school

won't be affiliated with the World Wide Association of Specialty Programs and

Schools, Dabel said, adding, "We don't want to get into the past history of

Dundee Ranch."

The observational placement room, in which Joel and other students were

punished with hours of staring at a wall, has become a storage shed. The high

impact center Joel helped build has been converted into a courtyard with

adjacent rooms containing weights and ping pong tables, and a stable of

horses in the back.

"Instead of a boot camp," Dabel said, "this is our fun camp."

Still, links to the past remain. Dabel said the new school will offer

scholarships to graduates of schools in the World Wide Association. One of

Dabel's partners in the new school, Francisco Bustos, was the finance manager

at Dundee Ranch, and Dabel himself was featured in a photograph of Dundee

Ranch's "management team." The new school will lease the 45-acre Dundee

property from Lichfield, the owner of the former academy.

"A lot of the ideas here are a credit to him and his dreams," Dabel said of

Lichfield. "He's one of our major investors."

The school has received a health permit, Dabel said, adding, "We could have

students very soon."

That news caused grave concern in San Jose at the Costa Rican child welfare

agency.

"They have no permission from us whatsoever," said Rosalia Gil, the nation's

minister of children's affairs. She vowed to send government officials to

visit the school.

"It's important that what happened at Dundee Ranch doesn't happen again," she

said. "We're going to be there to see that it doesn't."

Days after Dabel and Gil spoke, Mexican authorities closed one of the other

schools in the World Wide Association, Casa by the Sea. There had been

complaints of abuse at the school.

Ken Kay, president of the association, said he expects "total vindication" on

the abuse allegations and believes the school soon will receive permission to

reopen. Kay said, too, that schools in the association have discontinued the

use of observational placement, opting instead for something he described as

"more coaching in intent."

As for Pillars of Hope, it has yet to open.

What happened at Dundee Ranch changed the Petershack family in Milwaukee,

turning the brittle bonds between a son and his parents into sinew.

Relationships no longer rupture in the heat of an argument. Cathy and Steven

Petershack don't wake up to the exhausting worry of a son careening from one

crisis to the next.

Still, they regret sending Joel to Dundee Ranch.

"There's absolutely no way I would send him now," Cathy said.

She has asked herself: Could something else have saved Joel? What would have

happened had he stayed in Milwaukee instead of going to Costa Rica? She does

not know.

Joel, now 18, insists he has not changed, all evidence to the contrary. He

has been slow to shed the deep reserve he brought home.

This summer, he began seeing Brittany Sutton, an outgoing young woman whom he

met through friends. They dated for three months before she learned about the

place his parents had sent him. Even then, she said: "He wouldn't let me in.

He wouldn't talk to me about it."

Nonetheless, Joel and Brittany got engaged. She is pregnant with his child,

and Joel has been imagining what parenthood will be like.

"Raising a kid is difficult," he said. "With great responsibility comes great

power."

He paused.

"And great love."

NEWS DIGEST
=========================================
*Rains Pound the Caribbean Zone

As it happens every season at this time of year, the Caribbean zone is in a

state of emergency due to the heavy rains of the past few days, that is

causing floods in many communities.

The Comisión Nacional de Prevención de Riesgos y Atención de Emergencias

(CNE) stepped up the warning for the area from Green to Yellow alert to warn

residents to take action to avoid or lessen the damage their property and

loss of life.

The hardest hit area is Matina, which as of noon yesterday residents were

isolated from the rest of the community.

The rain has been falling for almost two days straight and causing rivers to

overflow their banks as the increased amount of water waits to flow into the

Caribbean sea.

The Instituto Meteorológico Nacional (IMN) - the weatherman - says that the

rain and cold front will continue for a few more days.

In the Central Valley, coats and sweaters replaced short sleeve shirts, as

the day's temperature dropped below 70F/20C.

The mountain areas like the Braulio Carrillo highway (the major route

connecting San José to Límon) are also affected and experiencing mud slides

and sections of the highway had to be closed off to remove the debris.

The Interameicana Sur highway is also affected, as mud slides cause problems

for drivers who heading south to the Panama border.



*A Pivotal Day for Calderón

Former president Rafael Angel Calderón assured judge Didier Mora during a

hearing yesterday, that he never attempted to hinder the Fiscalía's

investigation into the Fischel-CCSS case, in an attempt to be sent home under

house arrest, rather than remain in preventive detention in La Reforma

prison, where he was ordered by judge Carmen María Peraza on October 22.

The judge's decision is expected sometime today (Tuesday). The judge has to

decide whether to accept the prosecutor's request that the former president

remain in preventive detention for the duration of the investigation or

accept Calderón's arguments that he should be home.

According to Gonzalo Castellón, defense lawyer, Calderón refuted the

accusations against him by Eliseo Vargas, former president of the Caja

Costarricense de Seguro Social (CCSS), who is currently in preventive

detention for taking part in the corruption scandal involving the Corporación

Fischel and the CCSS.

Vargas told prosecutors that Calderón was the key figure behind the

distribution of some us$9 million dollars in commissions paid to Fischel on

the us$39 million dollar the government of Finland loan to the CCSS to

purchase medical equipment.

Vargas is said to have traded his testimony against Calderón so that the

Fiscalía would drop all charges against his daughter, who received a car paid

by Fischel and for house arrest instead of preventive detention.

Walter Reiche Fischel, president of the Fischel corporation, is also in

preventive detention, along with Fischel lawyer, Randall Vargas. Both are

accused of corruption and fraud.

Calderón remains in preventive detention, along with former president Miguel

Angel Rodríguez, while the judge makes his decision.

Rodríguez is accused of accepting payment in the ICE-Alcatel case and from

the government of Taiwan, while he was in office, and illegal enrichment.

Both former presidents are now residing on the same cell block in Costa

Rica's largest prison, La Reforma and are secluded from having contact with

each other and other inmates. Prison officials say the seclusion is for the

safety of both men and to avoid any ensuing riots from other inmates


*Immigration Now Requires An Appointment

Need to visit the immigration office? Make sure you have an appointment.

In the past, the immigration office has received everyone who walked in the

door to make an applications for all types of service, including applications

residency. However, now, immigration officials, fearing a rush as the summer

season is around the corner, are ask one and all to call first for an

appointment.

The Dirección General de Migración y Extranjería, located in La Uruca, has

seen an increase of 50% volume of people asking for all types of migratory

transactions, that now range between 1.200 and 1.500 visits daily.

So, to avoid the long waits that could last from hours to all day, Marco

Badilla, director of immigration, explains how the new system works:

- Costa Ricans who are looking to get a new passport or renew one, should

call 299-8172 or 299-8169 or can send an email to

citapasaporte@migracion.go.cr to make an appointment

- Foreigner looking to renew their residency cedula or make an application

for residency have to personally visit window 3 from Monday to Friday between

8am and 3pm to ask for an appointment


The cost of a new Costa Rican passport is now ¢14.550 colones. The cost to

replace a lost, stolen or destroyed residency cedula is ¢3.430 colones, while

the renewal costs only ¢1.250 colones.

Many are upset with the changes, making the day trip from small towns only to

find that they will not receive services without a prior appointment. Several

foreigners were baffled why they had to make a personal visit to make an

appointment and not over the telephone.

Immigration officials say that changes are to better their response time and

better serve the needs of those visiting their offices.
