ACHES & PAINS

Right wrist - extensor "injury X frequently occurs in combination with  ... "

I think he found the spot.. but I think that most injuries are not just ONE thing, when we heel what hurts  most (I can bend my wrist more) another place hurts that I didn't know hurt cause I couldn't bend my wrist enough to make it hurt.

I'll continue doing the deep massage he showed me, near my elbow. We'll see how much it helps.

Missing hiker found dead in Lake Arnold area

By SHAUN KITTLE

June 1, 2015

Outdoors Writer , Lake Placid News

An interior caretaker with the state Department of Environmental Conservation found the body of a missing hiker Sunday afternoon in the High Peaks Wilderness Area.

Julie Belanger, 34, of Montreal, Quebec, and a female hiking companion left the Adirondak Loj area at about 10 a.m. Saturday, heading for Grey and Skylight Mountains. The pair were returning from the hike at about 7 p.m. when Belanger fell off of a log while crossing Feldspar Brook and was swept away by the current.

Belanger's friend didn't have cell phone service to call for help, and heavy rain forced her to take refuge at the Feldspar Brook lean-to.

"The weather was too inclement, and it had become dark," trooper Jennifer Fleishman, spokeswoman for Ray Brook-based state police Troop B, told the Enterprise. "She became scared and distraught. She was assisted by some other hikers in attempting to look for her friend the next day."

Fleishman said when the group failed to locate Belanger, the hikers assisted her friend back to the Loj, where they called Ray Brook state police at 11:30 a.m. Sunday. State police notified the DEC, and an interior caretaker located Belanger's body in the early afternoon.

State Police Aviation and DEC forest rangers hoisted Belanger's body from the Lake Arnold area at about 7:10 p.m. Her body was flown to the Lake Placid Airport, where she was officially pronounced dead by Essex County Coroner Francis Whitelaw. Whitelaw ruled the manner of death accidental.

Belanger's body was then taken to the Adirondack Medical Center in Saranac Lake, where an autopsy was performed Monday morning by Dr. C. Francis Varga, who determined the cause of death to be asphyxiation due to fresh water drowning.

Une vie à 100 km/h freinée tragiquement
La jeune professionnelle mordue de plein air est décédée en faisant ce qu’elle aimait le plus



MISE à JOUR

Un mois après son décès accidentel lors d’une randonnée dans l’État de New York, la famille de Julie Bélanger, une adepte de plein air et écrivaine, s’apprête à célébrer la «vie extraordinaire» de leur fille brisée par un accident tragique.

Le 31 mai dernier, la femme de 34 ans originaire de Québec qui travaillait maintenant comme ingénieure-géologue à Montréal, est partie avec une amie dans les Adirondacks, pour une longue randonnée.

Surprises par des pluies torrentielles, les deux femmes se sont butées au retour à un ruisseau devenu rivière en raison de la crue.

Celles-ci ont alors tenté de traverser le torrent sur un arbre couché au-dessus de l’eau. «Son amie a traversé, mais quand ma fille a traversé, le tronc s’est rompu», raconte la mère de victime, Andrée Morissette. «Elle est partie à la dérive, le courant était très fort. Elle a enlevé son sac à dos, c’est une technique, et pourtant c’est une bonne nageuse, mais... le courant était tellement fort.»

Son amie était impuissante en voyant la victime être emportée par le courant. Les recherches ont permis de retrouver la dépouille de Julie Bélanger le lendemain.

«Vie extraordinaire»

Un mois après le décès de Julie, sa mère a maintenant choisi de se rabattre sur la «vie extraordinaire» de sa fille pour se consoler. «Cette fille-là, elle a voyagé, elle a fait le tour du monde. Entre la fin de son université et son décès, elle a fait des choses que bien des gens ne font pas dans une vie. On essaye de se consoler avec ça», raconte-t-elle.

«Elle avait un sentiment d’urgence de vivre. On n’arrivait pas à comprendre pourquoi c’était si urgent de tout faire», ajoute sa mère tout en réalisant que le triste destin de sa fille est peut-être devenu une réponse à cette question. La jeune femme a même écrit deux romans jeunesse alors qu’elle avait 17 ans tout en faisant du sport et en travaillant dans le domaine du plein air.

«Cette fille-là elle a voyagé, elle a fait le tour du monde. [...] Elle a fait des choses que bien des gens ne font pas dans une vie. On essaye de se consoler avec ça»  — sa mère, Andrée Morisette
