AFTER FREER PROGRAMS
Rob Cooley, Ex. Dir of Catherine Freer Wilderness Therapy Expeditions, 541-926-7252,
info@cfreer.com, headquartered in Albany Oregon, announced several opportunities they have developed
for students and their families to take advantage of the gains made on their therapy trek, and to provide quality recreation for families.
“These include two and four-week whitewater and horse camps, three-day family river trips, volunteer trail work in the national forests,
and the Oregon Transition Homes program.” The potential exists to lengthen a child’s experience to two months or longer within Catherine
Freer.
WILDERNESS PERILS: MOSTLY MUNDANE
University of California at San Diego researchers, in a report “Morbidity and Mortality in the Wilderness,” found in the Western Journal
of Medicine, analyzed Northwestern State park data for visitors from 1993- 95. They found most injuries in the wild are caused by
common activities such as hiking, walking, skiing and driving, and most deaths are attributable to cardiac disease. For example, they
found substance abuse and fighting accounted for three times as many injuries as rock climbing. And heart problems as a cause of death
led the list by a wide margin, far ahead of drowning, falling, plane crashes, gunshots, asthma, avalanches, shark attacks, volcanic
fumes, swimming over waterfalls and hypothermia.
EATING DISORDER INFORMATION
Lisa Von Colln, Public Relations Director for Center for Change Inc., in Orem,
Utah, 801-224- 8255, mail@cfchange.com, announced a packet of information is available about
the philosophy and treatment practices for eating disorders utilized at the Center for Change. The packet will be sent free of charge
for the asking, and includes: How to determine the severity of an eating disorder. The proper treatment for differing severity levels
of eating disorders. And, Insights about the development and perpetuation of eating disorders.
ANASAZI COORDINATES GOLF TOURNAMENT
Sterling Tanner and Sheron Fitch, 602-892-7403, are contacts for the new plans for Anasazi’s golf tournaments. Their on-going successful
annual February Steve Young Classic will be renamed the Steve Young Desert Classic, named after San Francisco 49er quarterback Steve
Young. Young has asked Anasazi to also coordinate his annual Utah charity golf tournament, which will be renamed the Steve Young Mountain
Classic held on June 19th at Thanksgiving Point, in Lehi, Utah. Ezekiel C. Sanchez, co-founder of Anasazi, anticipates this will be
very helpful in Anasazi’s goal of doubling their scholarship fund to $600,000 in 1998.
ANASAZI FIRESIDES
Anasazi is initiating a series of monthly youth and parent fireside discussions/presentations. There is no charge, and all interested
are welcome. Lasting 1-½ hours, they will be held in Mesa, Arizona on the 2nd Thursday of each month at the Anasazi office, and the
1st Friday of each month at Lehi, Utah, at Thanksgiving Point, beginning July 3, 1998. For more information, call 602-892-7403. SHAMROCK
