Only 21 cruise ships can make it into port
August 28, 1986, Charles A. Jaffe, St. Petersburg Times
http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/sptimes/access/51702357.html?dids=51702357:51702357&FMT=FT
The port can accommodate ships with a draft of 22 feet or less. In
other words, no more than 22 feet of a ship can be below the water
line, or the vessel risks running aground. The pickings, Travis
acknowledges, will be slim.
The Boheme is one of those vessels (it's listed first on the chart at
right) and it was sold last week. Commodore Cruise Lines, the ship's
former owner, has not said who purchased the ship, but has said the
Boheme will leave Tampa Bay after completing a week of repairs on Sept.

Cartwright, jazz pianist Chick Corea and other celebrities are helping
sell Dianetics in the infomercial. They're part of a show hawking a $69.
95 package that includes the book, audio and video tapes and other
instructional material to help you begin counseling yourself and others.
Scientology is never mentioned in the infomercial, called Dianetics:
The Bridge To Clear. To many people, the word "Scientology" is linked
to its critics' contentions that it is a money-making scheme or, at
worst, a cult. Scientology officials point to more than 60 court
decisions validating their status as a religion.
Even without the word Scientology, the importance of the infomercial to
the organization is clear.

Court Oks Anti-Cult Jury Award
August 28, 1998, Bob Egelko, Seattle Times
http://community.seattletimes.nwsource.com/archive/?date=19980828&slug=2768907
SAN FRANCISCO - A federal appeals court has reaffirmed $1.09 million in
damages against an anti-cult organization for its role in trying to
"deprogram" a Washington state teenager, despite a warning from seven
judges that free speech was under attack.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals denied reconsideration Wednesday
of a panel's 2-1 decision in April upholding damages against the Cult
Awareness Network (CAN). Without announcing the exact vote, the court
said a request for a rehearing had failed to gain a majority among its
21 active judges.

Narconon set to open detox center
August 28, 2006, Doug Russell, McAlester News-Capital
http://www.mcalesternews.com/news/local_news/article_fe2e0826-25eb-5559-b973-9cbeb9bba44f.html
Narconon has bought the old Ramada Inn (which was once a Holiday Inn)
at 1500 S. George Nigh Expwy. and is refurbishing it to open a
detoxification center and training center.
Interior work has been going on for months, but since no true
remodeling was being done, no city permit was needed at the time,
according to Dennis Lalli, city building inspector.
Cleo McLaughlin, senior vice president of Narconon Arrowhead, said
workers initially had to remove asbestos from some of the rooms.
Now it appears the organization has gone a step farther, since it
applied for - and received - a $152,000 remodeling permit on Aug. 4.

Paramount-Cruise plot thickens: Spielberg left in dark
August 28, 2006, Phyllis Furman, Seattle Times

This summer's biggest Hollywood breakup has left Steven Spielberg
caught in the middle.
The director was blindsided by Paramount Pictures' decision to dump Tom
Cruise, Spielberg's spokesman said Thursday. Sumner Redstone, chairman
of Paramount parent Viacom, dropped the bombshell in an interview in
Wednesday's Wall Street Journal.

Anyone who has even a rudimentary knowledge of Green on White can
divine quite a lot from simply studying the promo that is put out in
Miscavige's vulture culture.
The following two pieces speak volumes as to the health and direction
of C of M in Los Angeles.
The first piece indicates that apparently the Valley Org has for some
time now out-sourced the subject of Ethics. Instead of putting an
Introduction to Scientology Ethics book in folks hands, or even having
them do Ethics light with, say, a div 6 course in Ethics, Valley is
promoting public to instead pay for some outside consultant to tell
them what Ethics is about.

Narconon Arrowhead is being sued by the parents of a patient who died
during treatment.
Filed Aug. 23, the lawsuit claims Narconon Arrowhead did not provide
adequate medical care for Hillary Holten. Her parents say the facility
was informed Holten had a medical condition that required her to take a
steroid every day. The facility said they could manage the medication.

Scientology Legal Roundup: Per Wickstrom's Fine Whine, And More!
August 28, 2013, Tony Ortega, Underground Bunker
http://tonyortega.org/2013/08/28/scientology-legal-roundup-per-wickstroms-fine-whine-and-more/
As our readers can probably imagine, we're pretty excited here in the
Underground Bunker after getting yesterday's news about Monique
Rathbun's hearing date for a temporary injunction on September 12.
Scientology legal matters are definitely heating up, and so we thought
it was time for a general roundup of the major cases being litigated
around the country.
We're starting in Michigan, where we revealed recently that Per
Wickstrom, who runs a number of Scientology-style drug rehab centers,
has filed suit against the Pennfield Township (near Battle Creek)
because it has repeatedly turned down his requests to expand one of his
facilities, called "A Forever Recovery."
The Township removed the case to federal court and filed a motion to
dismiss it. And now, Wickstrom is battling back: by whining.

This thing, well, it's - it's beautiful.
Before we show it to you, we want to help you put it in context. The
few remaining Scientologists in Atlanta, like other cities in the U.S.,
are under intense pressure to donate huge amounts of money in order to
pay for a new building they don't need. These new facilities are called
"Ideal Orgs," and just yesterday former Scientology spokesman Mike
Rinder posted a great backgrounder on this maniacal decade-long push by
church leader David Miscavige.

WOW: California judge orders trial to determine if Scientology drugged

http://tonyortega.org/2015/08/28/wow-california-judge-orders-trial-to-determine-if-scientology-drugged-incoming-rehab-patients/
[Judge Edward Chen | Photo: Hillary Jones-Mixon]
On April 1, we told you about a class-action lawsuit that had been
filed against several of Scientology's drug rehab companies in
California. A judge has now ruled against Scientology in the lawsuit's
preliminary matters and has called for a trial that should put
explosive evidence in a courtroom - that Scientology's Narconon centers
get new patients high on whatever they're addicted to before they can
be admitted.
Two plaintiffs were named in the lawsuit; their attorneys planned for
there to be many more former Narconon patients suing the Scientology
rehab system. The plaintiffs, Nathan Burgoon of California and Caleb
Landers of Pennsylvania, each alleged what we've seen in so many other
lawsuits against the Scientology rehab centers: That they promise
individualized drug counseling delivered by medical professionals with
astounding success rates, and don't mention their connection to the
Church of Scientology. But after patients have paid around $30,000 up
front, they then learn that the Narconon program contains no drug
counseling at all, but instead delivers the same kind of introductory
exercises that a new member gets at a Scientology church.
