Chasing Ghosts 1982 - Original Au Clair Gets a Pass

June 22, 1982, it happened. After more than a year of combat between the state and the facility, the Au Clair School received a one year license. 


Oz received it reprieve.

July 16, 1982, the appeals court finds on behalf of former program manager Dean Alexander and his wife. 

What really happened between December 6, 1980 and July 16, 1982 was a series of legal maneuvers in which Mazik tried at every chance to get himself off the hook for the loan it appears was cajoled from the Alexanders after a long night of negotiating, culminating with a Superior Court Appeal that held the judgement of the lower courts. With that loan document, Mazik had literally written himself into a corner. It was a simple error. Mazik had a form book. He'd selected the form to use for the contract.  He completed it and signed as did the Alexanders. Then Mazik defaulted on the loan.  Dean Alexander ups and leaves Au Clair after just six month and sues Mazik for repayment. Mazik begs the court for relief; however, it turns out that he waived that right when he chose and signed the contract. Lesson? Form books are tricky little things.
