NoneProsecutor moves to drop federal cases against TrumpA B.C. man has been awarded nearly $800,000 in damages as compensation for injuries he sustained from a defective bear banger, according to a recent court decision. Madam Justice Sandra Wilkinson’s ruling noted that the company that distributed the bear bangers knew as early as 2017 that the devices had a defect that caused “premature detonation,” resulting in as many as 20 injuries – including burns and, in one case, the loss of an eye. The plaintiff, Justin Muss, was working in a remote northern area as a gas and field operator in 2019 when he encountered a black bear that he tried to scare off by using the device – a Star Blazer bear banger, designed and distributed by Earth Management. “The plaintiff tried yelling and honking his truck’s horn to deter the bear but the bear continued to move closer. Based on his experience and training, the plaintiff recognized that the bear would not go away without further intervention and decided to use a bear banger to try and further deter the bear so he could grab his tools and clean up his task,” the decision says. “As soon as the plaintiff released the trigger, he heard a really loud bang and felt pain in his right side. He could not hear and everything looked blurry around him. He was confused and did not know what had happened,” it continues. The injuries A disoriented Muss noticed his hand was bleeding and bandaged it, before also realizing there was a piece of shrapnel lodged in his leg, prompting him to call a supervisor who would arrange transportation to hospital. The painful injuries to his hand and leg, which would leave permanent scars, healed within a month. Temporary blurriness in his vision also resolved in the short-term. But the court heard that some of the effects of the accident would be life-long. Muss experienced “instant hearing loss” when the defective bear banger went off as well as the immediate onset of tinnitus – a persistent buzzing or ringing – in his ears. Although his hearing improved in the six months after the accident, progress plateaued, and Muss was left with permanent hearing loss as well as long-term tinnitus. “The plaintiff experiences a constant low ringing in his ears that gets worse with any loud noise, prolonged exposure to noise or exhaustion. His injuries continue to cause him pain and discomfort, particularly if there are loud noises,” the decision says. “The plaintiff also suffers from diminished hearing capacity and increased sensitivity to environmental sounds. Any background noise will make it difficult for him to hear because he feels that he hears all of the noise at once. He often misses portions of conversations and struggles to speak on the phone.” The company’s negligence The court heard that Earth Management stopped importing and selling the Star Blazer bear bangers in 2017 because there were “too many incidents of people getting hurt.” The company’s president, Peter Mueller, told the court that he made a list of over 80 companies he “believed” bought the bear bangers and signed a letter to be sent to the company’s customers in 2018. “There is no record of who received the letter, if anyone,” the decision says. Muss purchased one of the defective bear bangers from a sporting goods store in 2019. The judge’s decision said there is no evidence that retailer was even informed about the defect by mail, email, or telephone. The steps taken to try to prevent future sale of defective bear bangers were described by the court as “an entirely deficient recall” of an unsafe product the company knew posed a serious safety risk. “Earth Management’s negligence led to the plaintiff’s purchase of a defective bear banger years after Earth Management was aware of the defect. This failure to warn caused the plaintiff’s injuries,” the decision said. “Earth Management is liable to the plaintiff because but for the negligence of Earth Management in failing to adequately recall the defective product, the accident would not have happened.” Damages awarded Muss was awarded a total of $795,176.86 in damages, $622,000 of which were for his loss of future earning capacity. The judge warded $95,000 in non-pecuniary damages, meant to compensate Muss for his pain, suffering and the ongoing impact of his injuries.= “I find that the plaintiff’s life has been significantly negatively altered by the daily pain he experiences as a result of his hearing problems. Every facet of his life has been affected,” Wilkinson wrote. “At this time, it is unlikely that the plaintiff’s pain will improve or that his life will return to how it was before the accident.” The court also awarded $10,000 punitive damages, meant to sanction the company for its failure to warn customers about the defective product.
GRAND FORKS — Robert Morris coach Derek Schooley isn't particularly excited to see Carter Wilkie again this weekend. "I had a couple of goals and good games against them," said Wilkie, a UND senior center. That's an understatement. Wilkie, a junior at RIT last season, played six games against the Colonials. He scored six goals and tallied 12 points. That means 37.5 percent of his goals and 29.3 percent of his points last season came against Robert Morris. Wilkie, who transferred to UND in the offseason for his final year of college eligibility, will get one more shot at the Colonials. UND and Robert Morris will play in a two-game nonconference series at 7:07 p.m. Friday and 6:07 p.m. Saturday in Ralph Engelstad Arena. "They're a hard-working team," Wilkie said. "They definitely know how to play simple and fast. They move the puck north really well. Their team has obviously had a lot of changeover. They had a lot of fifth years (last year). I don't know exactly what they have brought in this year, but they're pretty well-coached and I'm expecting a hard match." Wilkie has been a consistent two-way player for UND but his offense has dried up recently. He enters this weekend on a six-game point drought and a nine-game goal drought. His line with Mac Swanson and Ben Strinden had strong analytics last weekend against the University of Denver. "I just want to see us play a dominant game and a full 60 minutes," Wilkie said. "We've had a lot of consistent stretches, it's just losing it after a couple moments. It's costing us goals. I really want to see 60 minutes out of our group and piece together two solid games, get back on the same page and get our season rolling, especially in the wins column." Wilkie said he expects to get Robert Morris' best. "Playing in Atlantic Hockey and coming to games like this and in an atmosphere like The Ralph, they're obviously going to be excited and tuned in to play their best game," Wilkie said. "We've got to be ready." Wilkie said a key is playing simple against the Colonials and not trying to be too fancy. "Hopefully, I can keep the lasting memory of them not wanting to see me anymore," Wilkie said. UND is slowly progressing on the injury front. Defenseman Tanner Komzak is expected to be available this weekend. Komzak was cleared for practice Thursday last week. He dressed for Saturday's series finale but didn't play any shifts. "That was more about if something went wrong or if someone got hurt, he could be put into play," UND coach Brad Berry said. "It was probably unfair to him to play him, because he only had one practice. He's been out two or three weeks. "(Now), he's had a full week of practice." Berry said freshman defenseman Andrew Strathmann, who was injured Nov. 1 at Cornell, is "way ahead of expected." Strathmann has returned to practice. "When he got diagnosed coming out of Cornell, it looked like it was maybe longterm with a surgery included," Berry said. "The surgery didn't take place. He's really responded from therapy. He's in some heavy contact drills, some we're keeping him out of." Strathmann won't play against Robert Morris, but he could play before Christmas break. UND plays a home-and-home with Bemidji State next week, then travels to Miami before hosting St. Cloud State. Forward Cody Croal practiced for the first time Thursday. He did not take contact. Defenseman Bennett Zmolek still is not practicing. UND expects to know more on his timeline next week. He's currently listed as "out indefinitely." Goalie Kaleb Johnson also is "out indefinitely." Center Cameron Berg also will miss this weekend's series. The Fighting Hawks have yet to win this season without Berg in the lineup (5-2 with him, 0-4 without him). Junior forward Dane Montgomery has been moved to defense to fill in for the injured blue liners. He had points in his first four full games on defense. Once UND starts to regain health on the blue line, will UND leave him there? "It's a great question," Berry said. "As of now, yes. He's done a lot to help out or D-corps back there, not only defensively but offensively. Once we get guys back, we'll make that decision. That depends what our forward group looks like here, too. "As of now, he will be (on defense). At the end of the day, we'll keep looking forward. But I'll tell you what — what a positive, positive impact he's had on our group." When: 7:07 p.m. Friday, 6:07 p.m. Saturday. Where: Ralph Engelstad Arena. TV: Midco Sports (GF Ch. 27/622 HD). Radio: The Fox (96.1 FM). Stream: NCHChockey.com.

ORLANDO — Ramiro Enrique scored a first-half goal and that was all goalkeeper Pedro Gallese would need to lead Orlando City to a 1-0 victory over rival Atlanta United in an Eastern Conference semifinal at Inter&Co Stadium on Sunday. No. 4 seed Orlando City, in its first trip to the conference final, will host the seventh-seeded New York Red Bulls next Saturday with a trip to the MLS Cup final on Dec. 7 on the line. The Red Bulls have made the playoffs in 14 straight seasons but never won the Cup. Orlando City grabbed a 1-0 lead in the 39th minute on an unassisted goal by Enrique , who scored off a corner kick that struck the chest of teammate César Araújo near the goal. It was the first goal contribution for Enrique in seven playoff appearances. He scored eight times in the regular season – his second in the league. Gallese did not have to make a save in his 10th career postseason start — all with Orlando City. Three of his five shutouts in the playoffs have come in the past two seasons. He had eight clean sheets during the regular season. Brad Guzan saved three shots for Atlanta United. He has started 18 times in the postseason for Atlanta United following four starts for Chivas USA in 2006-07. Atlanta United lost Daniel Ríos to concussion protocol four minutes into the second half and Ronald Hernández replaced him. Atlanta United has had the upper hand in the series during the regular season, posting an 11-4-7 record. Atlanta United won both matchups this regular season — 2-1 on the road and 2-0 at home. The two clubs had never met in the postseason.The Federal Capital Territory High Court Maitama in Abuja, on Tuesday, ordered the remand of the immediate-past governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, in the Kuje Correctional Centre. Bello alongside two others, Umar Oricha and Abdulsalami Hudu, are standing trial on 16 counts bordering on criminal breach of trust and money laundering to the tune of N110.4bn. Justice MaryAnne Anenih sent the ex-governor to prison after rejecting his bail application, which she decribed as premature and unprocedural. The judge noted that while Bello was arraigned on November 27, he had filed an application for bail since November 22. “Having not been filed when the first defendant (Bello) was either in custody or before the court, this instant application is incompetent,” Justice Anenih held. “Consequently, the application, having been filed prematurely, is hereby refused.” The judge adjourned further hearings in the case till January 29 and 30, 2025, suggesting that Bello may spend Christmas and New Year in prison. However, when asked by The PUNCH on Tuesday when Bello would be filing a new bail application, a member of his legal team, Abdulwahab Mohammed (SAN), said, “Tomorrow, God willing.” After what can be described as a months-long hike-and-seek game, Bello, who was earlier declared wanted, turned himself into the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on November 26 and was finally arraigned before Justice Anenih on November 27. The judge adjourned till December 10 to rule on his bail application, while she ordered that Bello should be remanded in the EFCC custody. At the resumed hearing on Tuesday, Bello’s counsel, Jacob Daudu (SAN), moved his bail application, pointing out that being a two-term governor of Kogi State, Bello would not jump bail or interfere with witnesses. Related News NSC coy on EFCC probe into NFF finances Court denies Yahaya Bello bail ...mildly reproofing corruption “The first defendant (Yahaya Bello) became aware of the instant charge through the public summons. He is a responsible individual and will abide by the conditions set by the court,” the SAN said. However, EFCC counsel, Kemi Pinheiro (SAN), countered that the application was grossly incompetent, as it was filed before the arraignment, contrary to the provisions of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act. Pinheiro emphasised that the timing rendered the application invalid, urging the court to dismiss it. In her ruling, Justice Anenih upheld the prosecutor’s application and rejected Bello’s bail application. Meanwhile, the judge approved of the bail applications of the second and third defendants, Umar Oricha and Abdulsalami Hudu, respectively, and granted them N300m bail each with two sureties each in like sum. She ruled that the sureties must own properties in Abuja’s Maitama District valued at no less than the bail bond and must submit the original title documents to the court. Justice Anenih further directed that the sureties must depose to affidavits of means and submit copies of their passports to the court. Oricha and Hudu are to deposit his travel documents with the court and remain in custody until all bail conditions are met. She adjourned the matter till January 29 and 30 for hearing.

The two teams battled in a Double Dog Collar match at the December 10th, 2022 PPV, and Harwood posted to Twitter on Tuesday to reflect on how the match exemplified why he got into the business. Harwood wrote: “At some point, it does become about the money. You give your body, your health, your sanity, your relationships, all to the business. Naturally, you want something to show for it. Sacrificing pieces of yourself, so at the end of the day, when it’s all over, the aches, pain, & heartbreak were worth it. But that’s not why we start. Maybe for some, sure, but not all.
