Mountain biker rescued following leg injury

LEAVENWORTH * Rescue crews carried a Puyallup teenager out of the back
country after he received a serious cut on his leg while mountain
biking on the Chikamin Trail outside of Leavenworth on Wednesday.

Aaron Derrig, 19, was taken to Cascade Medical Center in Leavenworth
with a gash on his lower right leg that may have exposed the shin
bone, according to Jerry Moore, Chelan County Sheriff’s chief of
administration.

A hospital official did not return a call this morning, so an updated
condition is not available.

Moore said the sheriff’s office received a call at about 1:50 p.m.
from friends who were riding with Derrig.

Rescuers hiked between one and two miles to retrieve him, Moore said.

He said Derrig apparently lost a lot of blood, and the rescue took
several hours

Sounds like he was attacked by a saw wielding lunatic with a PhD.

That could be true except that I recieved my Doctorate in Mechanical
Engineering many years ago.

My education does not define me as a person. It's not something I feel
I need to mention all the time the way Michael does.

Carry on with your babbling, old man.

Doctorates in engineering don't amount to much. They are pretty much
required for many jobs.

I agree with you on the above. It is best never to mention any higher
degrees. I believe Mr. Vandeman does not mention his degree except in the
circumstances where his credibility and expertise have been called into
question. You would do the same if the subject matter were engineering and
someone was calling you an idiot all the time.

Carry on with your babbling, old man.

Your vendetta against Mr. Vandeman speaks volumes about your cultural level.
If you want to act like a barbarian, then that is how I will treat you.

Complete and utter bull****. Michael mentions his degree with every
LTE or commentary he writes in a vain attempt to give his extreme
views some credibilty.

That affects me how?

You overestimate your influence.

Nope, I don't see that at all. In fact, he does not even mention his degree
in his news reports to a selected list of recipients unless he is
referencing various scholarly papers he has authored. The latter is entirely
acceptable since academic degrees count in the world of scholarship.

I suspect someone with a higher degree in engineering does not like to be
treated like a common asshole for all the world to see. But I have known
other engineers who have a degree like yours and they have also turned out
to be assholes. It must be an occupational hazard. Apparently, there is no
substitute for a liberal arts degree.

Letters To The Editor, DUH!

What scholary papers has Mike written that have anything to do with
his degree?

This is all troll talk from Ed.

"The world to see"? Several dozen people does not constitute the
"world."

Sorry Ed, but the way you treat me and others reflects on you, not me.
I would have thought that someone who claims to be so educated would
realize that, but I was wrong.

I really have enough things to occupy my time, no need to keep
conversing with a known troll. Try to stay on topic while I ignore
you . Thanks.

Letters To The Editor, DUH!

No reason why anyone should know what those letters stand for. Don't be so
lazy. Write things out!

his degree?

I am way too lazy to ever research anything - period! Mr. Vandeman is an
expert on ethical matters having to do with nature and wilderness. He has
authored several reviews of the literature of the impact of mountain biking
on trails and on wilderness values in general. Too bad you have no idea what
a wilderness value is.

This is all troll talk from Ed.

That is all anyone ever does on Usenet.

You cannot be sure how many are reading our messages nor who they are. Many
folks read but never post.

You keep up your vendetta against Mr. Vandeman and I will keep up my
vendetta against you. Count on it!

I will be hard to ignore if you keep spouting your usual ****. I suggest you
find someone else to stalk other than Mr. Vandeman. You are not worthy to
walk in his footsteps.

It would have been simple to cauterize the wound. Hold the little
****er down
and let the flame from a lighter seal the blood vessels.
