Giancarlo DiTrapano, a defiantly independent publisher whose Tyrant Books, long run out of his cramped apartment in Hell’s Kitchen, issued volumes that big publishing houses wouldn’t touch and took chances on untested young writers, died on March 30 at a hotel in Manhattan. He was 47.
CHARLESTON – A Kanawha County man says he was fired from his job at Bridgeport Equipment and Tool after he was injured on the job and filed a workers’ compensation claim.
James May filed his complaint in Kanawha Circuit Court against B.E.T. Ltd. and Kelly Goodpasture, general manager of Bridgeport’s Charleston location.
According to the complaint, May worked in the parts department on September 21, 2020, when he sustained a serious back injury when a co-worker improperly maneuvered a pallet of ammunition with a pallet jack. Following the incident, May went to his primary care physician the same day. The doctor prescribed physical therapy.
