UPDATED: Casper woman awarded $28.2M in carbon monoxide poisoning case | Casper

A jury awarded $28.2 million to a woman who was poisoned by carbon monoxide at the Sunridge Apartments in Casper in what could be one of the largest civil judgments in state history. “What I have been told is it’s the largest personal injury verdict in the state of Wyoming,” said Tyson Logan, an attorney from the Jackson law firm that represented the woman, the Spence Law Firm . Amber Lompe, now 23, was poisoned by her furnace in 2011. She has a permanent brain injury that affects her memory, concentration, processing speed, attention and ability to multi-task, Lompe said Friday afternoon. “When I moved in there, I assumed everything was checked out and it was safe for me to live in,” she said.

Image
KUALA LUMPUR: The owner of the Vitti Lodge and Family Apartment has urged the three Malaysians who caused trouble at his hostel to apologise to all Malaysians. Ema Vitti, who runs the hostel in Japan’s third largest city, Osaka, said the actions of the trio — vandalising a common area at the lodge, defecating in the shower and threatening the caretaker — had reflected badly on Malaysians. “Their unruly actions had brought much embarrassment to Malaysians, especially those who study and work in Japan. After the incident went viral, we received a lot of apologies from Malaysians, especially Netizens who expressed regret at what happened even though it was not their fault,” he told the New Straits Times in a telephone interview today .

Newark apartment tenants continue 30-year battle with management

NEWARK — The Pavilion and Colonnade apartments are made up of three towering Newark high -rises known for their stately glass windows with New York City views . The buildings are still striking on the outside even though their glory days are clearly gone. They are close to most things a tenant could want in downtown Newark. You can walk to church or to the park. The train station is a hop, skip and a jump away, and the bus stops out front. The convenience is grand. Residents say it’s not so grand living here when the heat doesn’t work, when the elevators break down, when management doesn’t appear to be fond of tenant organizations speaking up for themselves. And some residents say it seems like its always been this way. You know, mama said there would be days like this, but she didn’t say they’d last 30 years. Over the years, one management company after another has tried to run Pavilion and Colonnade apartments. The latest, Kettler Management of McLean, Va., is the third in eight ye...

“Kids” Director On Casting Teenagers: “It’s Just A Talent I Have”

“I can just kind of tell — I don’t know, it’s just a talent that I have,” Larry Clark says, via video chat from his Tribeca apartment. In the background, the screen saver on a large Apple monitor is cycling through photos of lithe young teens . “I can tell when the camera is going to like somebody and I can tell when people have a charisma that translates to film or photographs because I’ve been doing it so long.” Clark, now 70, is famous — and famously controversial — for identifying future stars among unknown teens, like the time he commissioned a 19-year-old skater he met in Washington Square Park named Harmony Korine to write the screenplay for Kids . That film also marked the debuts of Chloë Sevigny, 20 years old at the time, and 15-year-old Rosario Dawson. (While he says he’s kept in touch with Sevigny, Dawson, and Leo Fitzpatrick, he says of Korine, “I haven’t spoken to him in a while.” He hasn’t seen Spring Breakers either, he says, “but I want to see it.”) When Kids came ...

No one left at Westchester Plaza after forced eviction.

Image
Westchester Plaza has shut down and its 100-plus residents, most of them low-income and disabled, have moved, authorities said. Westchester, at northeast corner of Summit and Pennsylvania avenues, was one of the largest assisted-living centers in Texas that supported Medicaid recipients . The facility has weathered financial hardships and complaints from residents over the years concerning inadequate staffing and other issues. Its owners said they shuttered the facility because it was too hard to operate in the current regulatory environment and with changes to Medicaid. The residents were told in July that they had until Thursday to move out. One resident, a 61-year-old resident dead outside the building on July 17, slumped over in his wheelchair. The Tarrant County Medical Examiner has not yet posted a cause of death as of Friday. The state is also investigating. Barbara Reed, one of the 117 residents forced to move, said she found temporary housing with a friend at the end of ...

Houston's Trailer Parks Offer Cheap Housing, But Leave Residents Vulnerable

Duval Mobile Home Park in southeast Houston has 182 lots." />EXPAND The Duval Mobile Home Park in southeast Houston has 182 lots. Stephen Paulsen Elizabeth Perez loves her trailer park . But if she's ever forced to move, at least she has a back-up plan. A chatty 45-year-old with a wide smile, Perez has lived at and managed the Trinity Duval Mobile Home Park in southeast Houston since 2008. Used mobile homes here typically sell for $12,000 to $38,000, depending on their size and condition, she says. She remembers one woman buying a home for just $2,000, using her IRS refund. The Duval Mobile Home Park first opened in the 1950s. It was purchased last year by Trinity Community Group , a trailer park management company — and Perez worried about the future of the park. “I kept thinking, ‘Shoot, they're going to want to tear it down,’” Perez said. “I was kind of scared.” The company promised it would keep the park operational , according to Perez. Still, Perez accepts...
