Mike http://www.thespectrum.com/article/2...RIES/902250302 Paul David Navar February 25, 2009 Buzz up! ST. GEORGE - Paul David Navar, M.D. was a young 52 when he passed away in St. George, Utah on Saturday, February 21st. Paul passed away enjoying an activity he loved, bicycling. He was found at the top of Chuck-walla Trail, surrounded by beautiful red rocks, with the view of Pine Valley Mountain in the background. Paul did not die in an accident; he rode to the top of the mountain, dismounted his bicycle, grabbed his water bottle, and laid back to take in the view. This was where Paul went peacefully, and if he could have chosen how he would go, this would have been it. Paul was born September 27, 1956 in El Paso, Texas to Macedonio and Julianne Navar. The oldest of seven, his favorite phrase was "Mom and Dad have loved me the longest." As his five younger sisters grew into beautiful women, Paul became the protective, older brother. He was a star athlete at his high school, and it is there where he met his future wife, Marsha Sales. Paul went on to Stanford University where he played football his freshman and sophomore year. He graduated in three years on January 5, 1978, with a Bachelor of Science. Paul was then accepted to Southwestern Medical School. While in medical school, he married his wonderful wife, Marsha, on June 20, 1980. He graduated in the top 10%, and was a member of the Alpha Omega Alpha medical honor society. In 1982, he and his wife moved to Salt Lake City to complete his residency at the University of Utah, where he received the outstanding intern award. It was there that his first son, Jon Paul, was born. When Paul completed his residency, he moved back to El Paso where he became the director of two major emergency rooms. While in El Paso he welcomed his second son, Kirk, and his little angel, Allison. In 1999, Paul moved his family to St. George, Utah where he opened his own practice in Age Management Medicine. Paul had many hobbies. He would strive to become the best at one and then would move on to the next. He was an expert golfer, tennis player, hiker, pilot, heli-skier, rappeller, dirt biker, geocacher, and mountain biker. He was the best husband, father, son and brother. Paul was also a bit of a nerd. He enjoyed coin and rock collecting, chess and reading. Paul was a brilliant, athletic, healthy, handsome, happy man. Just like Clark Kent, my daddy was "Superman!" -- I believe this counts as an example of schadenfreude, taking pleasure in the misfortunes of others. You fabricated that out of thin air. I don't like seeing anyone getting killed, which is why I oppose mountain biking. By supporting it, you are being hypocritical! Mikey is so biased against mountain bikers that any time one is killed, injured, or dies from natural causes on the trail he is pleased. Hey, I don't like mountain biking either, I think looking for low traction situations isn't very bright, but that doesn't mean I would deny it to people as a recreation. Yes, it does, if it harms people and the environment! Or would you support bulldozer racing, because we shouldn't "deny it to people as a recreation"?! Idiot. On the contrary as long as you tread lightly on existing trails, or build trails in approved areas I'm all for it. I view "outlaw" trails in the same manner I would view "outlaw" roads, except that "outlaw" roads are much harder to clean up after. I also view "outlaw" hiking trails in much the same light, if you are where you're not supposed to be then you're wrong. But I also think that if there are hiking trails then ther should be bike trails or the trails should be shared by all non-motorized trail users. I'm just getting tired of Mikey gloating You fabricated that. Where do you see any "gloatiness"? You made it up! That is dishonest. Are you sure you aren't a mountain biker? You like just like one. every time there's an article about MTB'ers dieing or getting killed. Give it a rest Mikey. -- I am working on creating wildlife habitat that is off-limits to humans ("pure habitat"). Want to help?

Your point is the one which is not valid Mike. You are not using science to demonstrate that "mountain biking" (be it the type of bicycle, type of riding, or the industry which makes mountain bikes) killed anyone in any of the examples that I have seen you post here, but instead your personal bias. There is no cause based effect, which resulted in any of the deaths or injuries that you have posted which are attributable to "mountain biking". It's roughly akin to saying that it is the fault of the vehicle type which resulted in someone's injury or death without looking at road/off road conditions, other vehicles, weather conditions, health conditions, maintenance history of the vehicles involved, piloting abilities of the driver(s)/rider(s) involved, or any other mitigating circumstances. Warning: Improbable, but relevant comparison ahead with bad humor, my personal bias against SUVs, and personal adoration of steamrollers. "Grr! An SUV just ran over my dog after hitting some ice, jumping a curb, and crashing through my living room wall where my dog was crated, therefore SUVs kill animals. Cars and steamrollers would have never run over my dog if the driver had seen it, the road was dry, they were driving 5 MPH, and we were 100 feet away! Damn you SUVs!" If there is anyone avoiding any resemblance to scientific analysis, and blatant disregard of the facts at hand, it is you Mike. Chris “I would like to dedicate this post to the amusement of others, and my own ego! I never thought we could make it this far without either of you! Thank to so much!” |
