Felony Child-Abuse Charges Being Filed Against Staff
Los Angeles Times Magazine published an article on January 15, 1995 entitled AA Death In The Desert. It is regarding the investigation into the death of a 16 year old while participating in an expedition in Utah with North Star Expeditions Inc. which has resulted in felony child-abuse charges being filed against the staff by the state of Utah. The article does distinguish between paramilitary (boot camp) type programs and other respected wilderness programs. 

Northstar Center Update
On January 18, 1995, Dennis Crowell and Jane W. Stewart of NORTHSTAR CENTER in Bend, Oregon sent a letter to all their referring sources reminding them that The NorthStar Center does not now have nor never has had any connection with North Star Expeditions. We are a small independent living program operating out of Bend, Oregon. We serve young adults ages 18-24. While we have a 14-day wilderness expedition as part of our program, it is very different from the program offered in the Utah-based program.... While tragedies do occur that are not the responsibility of the people or programs leading the expeditions, we are grateful to have never experienced a serious injury or death of any student under our care.
