![When I went to my supervisor to report the abuse, I was told that Elan was a "sacred cow" and that officials in my department (Mental Health and Corrections) as well as Human Services and Education were "in tight" with Jay cirri and the Elan School and that if I reported a problem with Elan I would become the problem. I was told by one official in my department that anyone causing problems to Elan could "disappear like Jimmy Hoffa." After "mandated reporting" of child abuse became law in Maine, there were several incidents of abuse at Elan reported to Child Protective (Department of Human Services) but they were "buried" and never given the proper investigation and follow up due to Mr. Ricci's political connections in Augusta. Frankly, I am relieved that Elan has finally closed its doors and that more and more former Elan residents are having the courage to come forward...., that I recently found., let me share something with you, undeniable psychopath., elan’s founder “jay cirri” was an, According to a former [scarborough downs] employee [Jay] had thrown a wild party in the Seahorse Restaurant one night after racing.

About 4 am, after most everyone had left, he got this Uzi out and went to the parking lot where he aimed and fired at the mammoth parking lights, shattering glass everywhere, and sending red hot bullets through the corner of the grandstand.

![The investigations into the fire at Scarborough Downs lasted for many months. Not only did the state fire marshall's office investigate the fire, but so did the Mission Insurance Company whose investigators even placed a call to [Jay's] ex wife to ask if she thought he was capable of setting fire to his own track. (She declined to speculate about anything her ex husband would do) Through his own investigators [Jay] learned that he was a suspect, and began telling everyone that he thought that something as preposterous as that might occur... That's why he said he had rewritten his track's insurance policy for 'replacement value only' just weeks before the fire. He thought this would eliminate the appearance that he could have benefited financially from it. Interestingly enough the clubhouse, valued by the town of Scarborough at $93,000 in 1979, was 'replaced' five years later for a cost of $2.2 million. Ten years earlier on January 8, 1974, a fire had destroyed an Elan building in Sebago that was rented from a local doctor. The contents belonging to Elan were also 'adequately insured.' The fire at Scarborough Downs allowed [Jay] to significantly upgrade his facility just as the fire at Elan in Sebago caused him to establish Elan's expanded location in Poland Spring. duck in a raincoat, Menuki Press Author: Maura Curley, ”, ”, when I finally left elan for good, finding the book “duck in a raincoat” was like a god-send. at the time, it was the only book in existence about the horror-show I had witnessed and the psycho who created it., even though your book wasn’t a commercial-success, this comic and a substantial chunk of my post-elan sanity would not exist if not for your bravery, hard work, and research., THANK YOU Maura curley!, Duck, In A, Raincoat, An, Unauthorized, By, Maura Curley, The Story the Media Missed., Portrait, Of, Jay, Cirri,](https://elan.school/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/The-Elan-School-Comic-46m.jpg)
