Eventually, around 50 people had to be taken to area hospitals for treatment of eye irritation.  Several were still in the emergency room yesterday.

Investigators arrived at the high school early on Monday morning to determine the cause of the eye irritation among competition attendees.  Officials found that a sodium light fixture had broken in the school’s auditorium.

The man, a 37-year old business owner, went with the church to Mexico to volunteer to help build a roof for a church in Puerto Penasco.  While constructing the roof, the volunteer fell 10 feet onto the concrete floor below.  The fall was caused by a weak rafter board.

The man suffered back, head, and brain injuries in the fall.  His injuries caused him to experience a loss in his senses of hearing, taste, and smell.  In addition, the volunteer says his ability to operate his business suffered as a result of the injuries.

The lawsuit accuses Central Christian Church and Arbor Ministries of not providing a safe volunteer site, failing to provide safe materials, and failing to adequately train and supervise volunteer workers.

“A lot of people think dog bites are from some [stray] running around, and no one knows where it lives.  That happens to some extent, but to a greater extent it’s the owned dog,” said Nancy Hill, a member of the National Animal Control Association’s board of directors.

In addition, veterinary behaviorists say that dog bites most frequently occur when people, especially children, are attempting to show a dog that they are familiar with affection.  For example, dogs can be startled by a person trying to hug them, and kissing, or other close face-to-face interactions, can signal a threat to a dog.
