Arsenio Hall sues Sinead O’Connor over Prince drug accusations
NEW YORK - Comedian Arsenio Hall has filed a defamation lawsuit against the singer Sinead O’Connor, who accused him of supplying drugs to music legend Prince, whose death on April 21 has prompted speculation about an overdose. The $5 million lawsuit, filed on Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court, refers to O’Connor as a “desperate attention-seeker” and claims Hall and O’Connor have not spoken in 25 years. Prince died on April 21 at Paisley Park, his home-studio complex in a Minneapolis suburb. A law enforcement source with knowledge of the investigation told Reuters prescription opioid drugs were found at the scene, and Minnesota media said the painkiller Percocet was found in his system. Results from an autopsy could take weeks to be released publicly, authorities have said. On Monday, the Irish singer,
whose biggest hit was her 1990 version of the Prince song “Nothing Compares 2 U,” posted a note on her Facebook page claiming Hall supplied drugs to Prince for years. “Two words for the DEA investigating where prince got his drugs over the decades... Arsenio Hall,” the post said. O’Connor also claimed Hall, a former late-night talk show host, “spiked” her with an unknown drug years ago at a party. Hall’s lawsuit said O’Connor’s statements had quickly gone viral, causing “substantial harm” to his reputation. “O’Connor’s heinous accusations
that Hall engaged in this criminal conduct are despicable, fabricated lies,” the complaint said. In a Facebook post on Friday titled “Regarding Arse-inio Hall’s laughable threats,” O’Connor said she was “amused” by his accusations and added that authorities were taking her allegations seriously. “I do not like drugs killing musicians. And I do not like Arsenio Hall,” O’Connor wrote, before adding an expletive-laden insult. Prince had been scheduled to meet with a doctor specializing in addiction treatment the day after his death, a lawyer for the doctor said on Thursday. Federal authorities, including the Drug Enforcement Administration, also said on Thursday they had joined the investigation of the singer’s death. (rtr)

A wildfire burns south of Fort McMurray, Alberta, near Highway 63 on Saturday, May 7, 2016. Canadian officials hoped to complete the mass evacuation of work camps north of Alberta’s main oil sands city of Fort McMurray on Saturday, fearing the growing wildfire could double in size and reach a major oil sands mine and even the neighboring province of Saskatchewan.
DENPASAR-The multitude of potential work related accidents, injuries and illnesses that can occur in the work place, such as electrical accidents, falling construction materials, emery wheel accidents, garment industry allergies and other such perils require specialized attention. Every company is supposed to have a Health and Safety Unit (K3) onsite in order to prevent work related accidents from occurring -whether those caused by negligence workers or problematic work environments. Their function is to identify potential dangers in the workplace especial for those doing shift work. “It is especially important for those who work at night or who are doing overtime”, said Head of the Education Studies Program at Udayana University, Dr.dr. Dewa Gede Purwa Samatra, Sp.S (K). Work... Continued on page 2
Canada’s ‘Out Of Control’ Fire Doubles In Size
ALBERTA - A wildfire that is raging across the province of Alberta is due to become Canada’s costliest natural disaster later today, after becoming bigger than Greater London. The blaze, which has forced the evacuation of 88,000 people from the city of Fort McMurray, doubled in size on Saturday to around 494,000 acres, according to firefighters. It is now threatening neighbouring the province of Saskatchewan. Safety Minister Ralph Goodale warned that the situation in the parched Alberta oil sands region was “unpredictable and dangerous”. “This remains a big, out of control, dangerous fire,” he added. Officials said the inferno is being propelled by high winds northeast,
pushing towards Saskatchewan. The tinder-dry forests that are fuelling the fire also surround an oil sands facility, which some officials fear could be under threat. About half the country’s oil output - half a million barrels-aday - have been taken offline as a result. But some experts said they
were confident the Suncor Energy facility would not be at risk as it was designed to cope with forest fires. Chad Morrison, the province’s manager of wildfire prevention, said: “They are clear of vegetation and trees... they also have highly trained industrial fire departments that know how to respond to these incidents.” But he added that unless there is substantial rainfall, the fire might easily last for months. More than 500 firefighters are battling the blaze in and around Fort McMurray, along with 15
helicopters and 14 air tankers, the Alberta government said. Entire neighbourhoods have been reduced to ash and many of the families living in the city are understood to have lost everything other than the few items they were able to take with them. Many were forced to leave pets behind. Thousands have been seeking shelter at receptions centres in Lac La Biche and other towns south of Fort McMurray. One analyst has estimated insurance losses could exceed $9bn (£4.8bn). In comparison, the 2013 floods
that devastated southern Alberta caused $5bn of damage, according to Alberta Construction Magazine. Elsewhere in Alberta, more than 1,400 firefighters, about 133 helicopters and more than 27 air tankers have been fighting other fires across the province.(rtr) News can also be heard in “Bali Image” at Global Radio FM 96.5 from 9.30 until 10.00 am.
