Just the pressure of a blan-ket could be unbearable as Molly Burton described the state of her lower leg: the cratered ankle, the fibula in pieces and the tibia that exploded from her leg.

A full gallery at the Courte-nay courthouse heard how four surgeries were required to clean the dirt and brambles from her wounds following a hit-and-run that has confined the 25-year-old Comox Valley resident to a wheelchair.

The physical impact of this

has been devastating, Burton said in a victim impact statement Friday at a sentencing hearing at BC Supreme Court. It was the worst kind of pain.

Burton suffered critical inju-ries to her lower right leg and right arm when she was struck by a vehicle on Comox (Dyke) Road around 11:30 p.m. Sept. 11, 2013. The 16-year-old driver, now 17, cannot be named because of the Youth Criminal Justice Act. The teen has entered a guilty plea for

leaving the scene of an accident causing bodily harm.

After being struck, Burton lay in brush for about four hours, 40 minutes screaming for help until I broke my vocal chords. I was terrified and I was trapped, she said.

Police were dispatched but unable to locate Burton. Shortly before 4 a.m., Brody Fullerton, who was on his boat across the water near the Courtenay Air-park, came to her rescue when

he heard her screams. He crossed the 17th Street bridge by bike and used a flashlight to locate her. Burton was transported by ambulance to St. Josephs Hos-pital, then airlifted to a Victoria hospital.

The suspect vehicle, a Chrysler, was found abandoned at Comox Logging and Bevan roads. Its lights were on and it was ema-nating smoke.

Crown lawyer Richard Ellsay said the driver has admitted shot-gunning two beers with friends on the night of the accident.

The accused was driving in the lane farthest from the water when

the car struck a concrete barrier, crossed the centre line and struck Burton, who was walking on the water side of Dyke Road towards Comox.

My life is in limbo, Burton said. Everything is frustrating and exhausting.

Members of her family also delivered statements. Her young-er sister, Kelly, said her stud-ies have suffered while traveling back and forth from Vancouver to Victoria. Burtons mother, Leslie Wells, recalls a jolt of awareness when doctors listed her daugh-ters injuries.

Courtenay writer Paula Wilds most recent book won a gold in the 2013 IndieFab Book of the Year Awards.

The Cougar: Beautiful, Wild and Dangerous received top honours in the Adult Nonfiction Nature category of Forward Reviews annual awards, after months of deliberation by a panel of librar-ians and booksell-ers from across the U.S. The awards were announced June 27 at the American Library Association Annual Conference in Las Vegas. Wild found out via e-mail.

I was totally surprised, she said Friday. It was in the subject line and, before I even read the

e-mail, I let out a little shriek and started laughing and almost cry-ing at the same time.

Im exceedingly honoured. The amount of books that they had to look at to narrow it down, even to a shortlist I was amazed I

made the shortlist so to have actu-ally gotten the gold was astounding.

Wild, who has freelanced for the arts section of the Comox Valley Record for more than 25 years, released The Cou-gar in September, and it was very well

received by the public. It made the BC Bestseller List, received strong reviews and was short-listed for the BC Book Prizes Bill Duthie Booksellers Choice Award.

What began as an afternoon paddle boarding down the Courtenay River turned into a dramatic rescue for Lee Murray last July, and has now resulted in an interna-tional award.

Murray came to the aid of Betty-Lou H. Nadelko tubing near Lewis Park as the tube she was in flipped over and she began to drift backwards.

Nadelko went under-water and couldnt swim, so Murray dove in and swam to reach her.

Nadelko had a bag with a piece of rope attached to her hip which had anchored itself onto a rock under the water.

Murray saw she was quickly being asphyxiated as the rope became wrapped

around her neck. He grabbed the

Nadelkos ankle, dis-lodged the bag and pulled her on her back and floated about 200 yards down the river to the beach area where emergency personnel were called.

Nadelko required hospitalization due to the seriousness of her condition, but recov-ered.

As a result, the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission presented Murray, along with 21 other people, with the Carnegie Medal

only one of two Canadi-ans in 2014 to receive the award.

The medal is given throughout the U.S. and Canada to those who risk their lives to an extraordinary degree while saving or attempting to save the lives of others.

Each of the award-ees or their survivors will receive a financial grant, established by industrialist-philan-thropist Andrew Carn-egie.

Since its inception in 1904, the Commis-sion has awarded 9,697 people with more than $36.2 million given in one-time grants, schol-arship aid, death ben-efits and continuing [email protected]

Jane Austin has been mountain biking for more than 15 years, and knew it was time to give back to the trails she loved and used for so many years.

Inspired by a photo taken for Coast Mountain Culture of Al Munday and Terry Lewis two members of the River Rats, the major creators of the Cumber-land trail network Austin said she wanted to commemorate their work with a painting.

Ive been painting for four years and taking lessons with (Valley artist) Robert Lundquist, she explained. I came across the (magazine) story of the River Rats by Andrew Findlay, and wanted to highlight all of the volunteer work the guys have done (for the trails) theyre pretty much a fixture in the Valley.

Biking prior to the established Cumberland trails, Austin said since the River Rats created the network, (the village) has come alive people are always talking about the Thirsty Beaver, Bear Buns and all of their trails.

Working with Lundquist, she said she worked on the 24 x 36 painting for about 15 hours a week, for the past 25 weeks.

Rob is an amazing mentor. He possesses the mentorship and guidance I needed and he helped me bring to the life the colours (from the photograph).

Austin will share the fruit of her labour with the larger moun-tain bike community, as a print, created by Lundquist from the original painting, will be hung at

the Waverley Hotel. Phil Whyte of Whytes Fram-

ing & Gallery in Comox created a custom frame for the print, which was given to the nearly manda-

tory post-ride pit stop Thursday. Its very personal for me,

added Austin, who said shes got-ten to know Munday and Lewis quite well.

Ive gone on a lot of road trips with them I really wanted to show what these guys have done for the community.

A story that appeared in Thursdays paper con-tained incorrect informa-tion about remuneration for regional district employees.

The statement Total remuneration and expens-es for 28 managers and senior employees was near-

ly $9.2 million for 2013 is incorrect. It should read: remuneration and expenses of 28 employees (three of whom are union, not management) is $2.7 million. Total remunera-tion and expenses for all employees is $9.2 million.

The statement that says: The figure jumps to $11.25 million when including wages and benefits owing to staff, is also incorrect. The $11.25 million includes benefits for all staff, direc-tor remuneration and year-end accruals.

Correction to renumeration articleWith the start of summer and more

people enjoying the water and beaches, 19 Wing Comox is reminding those who live and work near the waters surrounding Texada Island that the area is an active pyrotechnics range.

The range is used primarily by search and rescue crews training in the safe and effective use of both high intensity para-

chute flares and marine smoke markers.While both of these devices are designed

to sink after use, occasionally, these devic-es may wash ashore before this happens.

These devices are hazardous if they are mishandled.

To report findings to 19 Wing, please call 1-866-488-0889 and arrangements will be made for safe disposal.

A Comox Valley teacher is one of just three Canadian teach-ers heading to Haiti in an effort to improve education.

Gail Martindale, an aboriginal education support teacher, signed up to volunteer for Project Teach/Konbit Pwof, and will travel to Haiti Friday to help lead seminars in Jac-mel and Port-au-Prince for two weeks.

The seminars are designed to help Hai-tian teachers and administrators become more effective in their teaching, classroom management and school administration.

Im really passion-ate about education, and helping communi-ties and people to move forward in a better way, Martindale says. I think that education is the key for that, the key for having a bet-ter life.

I like the idea of working with the teachers too, because I think if youre going to have any kind of an impact thats a great place to have it. In any society where children are being taught, if you can have an impact on the teachers them-selves, that actually can have some positive change.

Martindale got the idea to volunteer for the non-profit organi-zation from her friend Carol Barton, who is a teacher in Sum-merland, B.C. and has volunteered for Project Teach for the past cou-ple of years.

Barton is going to Haiti again this sum-mer and when Martin-dale saw a Facebook post from Barton requesting more volun-teers, she decided to apply.

About 15 teachers have signed up as vol-unteers, though only three are from the Can-ada, including Martin-dale and Barton; the rest are American.

The program focus-es on positive ways of interacting with children and how to develop individual rela-tionships with them. According to Project Teachs website, corpo-ral punishment is com-mon in many schools in developing countries, and teaching respect for childrens human rights and dignity is an important part of the program.

Volunteer teachers pay for their own flight

to Haiti, plus a $500 fee for food, transporta-tion and accommoda-tion while in Haiti. The fee also helps cover the cost of Haitian transla-tors, as Haitian Cre-ole and French are the countrys languages.

Martindale has rounded up a selection of school supplies, like

pencils, paper, scissors and glue, to give to the Haitian teachers she meets.

Though shes looking

forward to helping the teachers, Martindale expects to learn and grow from the experi-ence, too.

Thats what I think the big thing will be for me, is the learning that I get from the experi-ence, she says, add-

ing shes very excited about the trip.

Ive heard lots about the people and lots about how eager they are to learn, and how loving and out-

going, and just what great people, they are.

Valley teacher heads to Haiti on volunteer mission


A flare-up of kennel cough, or canine cough, is going around the Comox Valley.

I would say its sig-nificant, says Comox Valley Animal Hospi-tal co-owner Dr. David MacDonald, who has seen a spike of cases lately. A couple of Sat-urdays ago, I think I had five appointments that were kennel cough so theres definitely something going on.

Itll last for a few weeks and then it will peter away thats what happens.

Kennel cough is not a deadly disease, according to MacDon-ald, though he notes puppies are more sus-ceptible to becoming quite sick.

Puppies might get secondary pneumo-nia and get really ill, and possibly die but I wouldnt call it a dead-ly disease.

Kennel cough is con-tagious and airborne, so even dogs that dont see other dogs but are taken out for walks in public areas can con-tract it.

In effect, a dog coughs out thousands of bacteria when it coughs and they can land on the grass or theyre in the air, he says. That dog may move on and another dog comes along and breathes in that air or sniffs the grass in that area, and then they get infected.

The most common symptom is a persis-tent, forceful cough, sometimes to the point of vomiting. MacDon-ald notes most dogs with kennel cough do not lose their appe-tites or experience decreased energy levels, but some can. Sneezing, a runny

nose, or eye discharge are other possible symptoms.

Kennel cough will usually go away on its own, but MacDonald recommends dogs be kept home and away from other dogs for two weeks from the resolu-tion of coughing, due to its contagious nature.

MacDonald warns coughing can be a sign of other illness in dogs, such as bronchitis or heart failure, so own-ers should not assume their dog has kennel cough if their dog is coughing.

The best measure to protect your dog against kennel cough, says MacDonald, is a yearly vaccine, which he notes is not 100 per cent effective, but works quite well to protect the animal from contracting the bacteria.

As well, he wouldnt necessarily avoid ken-nels due to a flare-up of kennel cough, point-ing out many kennels require dogs be vacci-nated against kennel cough before boarding.

Kennel cough cases show up sporadically around the year, usu-ally with more around the summer holidays and Christmas, as people travel and visit more around these times of year, includ-ing their canine family members.

Whenever you start to get lots of dogs mix-ing, you know people are moving around and travelling, dogs are coming and visiting with people, or going into kennels because people are going on vacation, then you get little outbreaks, he says.

Kennel cough concern

Continued from Page 1The book uses his-

tory, research and first-person accounts to explore humans rela-tionship with cougars. It also includes cougar awareness information and defence tactics, and a large selection of photos of the wild cats.

Since the books release in September, Wild has been busy touring and giving pre-sentations, something she says has lasted much longer than aver-age.

A normal book tour for B.C. would

last through the fall and pretty well end at Christmas, but Ive been busy giving talks at different places, even up until last month, and in June I did a little tour in Washing-ton state, says Wild, who is blown away by the public interest. Theres a lot of inter-est in cougars, and about their natural history and their ecol-ogy, and how people should behave around them.

Wild has written other books, such as One River, Two Cul-

tures; The Comox Val-ley; and Sointula: Island Utopia, which won B.C. Historical Federation Certificate of Merit.

Although her sched-ule is just now slowing down since the release of The Cougar: Beauti-ful, Wild and Danger-

ous, Wild is already starting research for her next book this one about wolves.

Continued from Page 1

I was overcome with anguish and anger in the ensuing weeks watching Molly suffer, she said, not-ing horrible dreams since the accident and a loss of interest in hobbies such as run-ning and playing piano. Her work has also suf-fered. My life has been impacted by a driver who chose to drink and speed.

Burtons father, Ralph, said he and Wells had planned to vacation with friends in Palm Springs on the morning of the acci-dent.

The happy holi-day suddenly turned into a nightmare, Ralph said. It quickly became evident how drastic Mollys injuries were.

Burtons parents basically moved to Victoria to be at their daughters side.

Her pain was con-stant and intense, Ralph said, noting the horrendous and cow-ardly crime that has

ruined the last year of his daughters life. Her leg is horribly dis-figured.

He glared at the teen when he spoke of the psychological impact resulting from evil deeds.

Will this young criminal mend his ways? Will his parents guide him to become a law-abiding adult? Is it safe for him to be free?

Ralph also criticized the Crown and defence for striking a deal to drop two of three charges impair-ment and dangerous driving of which he was informed after the decision was made.

The teen an L licensee who had a number of driv-ing infractions before the accident has acknowledged he was driving without the presence of a passen-ger of at least 25 years of age. Ellsay said the accused knew he had hit a person but told his parents he had struck a deer. The next morning, accompanied by his father, he turned

himself in to police. A doctors report

notes the teen had a poor attitude in school. A low score on an IQ test suggests limited intelligence. Ellsay suggests the teen gave up on school and lived an insular

life on the family farm where he pushed the limits on vehicles. He also suggests a bla-tant disregard of rules and laws.

I suggest this is a violent offence because an element of the offence is causing bodi-

ly harm, said Ellsay, who is requesting a period of custody.

Defence lawyer Dale Marshall says it would be wrong to imprison the teen, considering his background and youth. He suggests instead a non-custodial sentence.

While he realizes nothing will heal or minimize Burtons wounds, Marshall said the teen has a sincere desire to make amends, knowing he should not have driven and drank alcohol.

Marshall asked Judge Ronald Lam-person to consider the teen is a first-time offender who turned himself in to police the day after the crime. He entered a guilty plea at the first opportu-nity, has not breached bail conditions, and is polite when reporting to officials. He has also abided by a 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily curfew.

He has done every-thing right since doing everything wrong, Marshall said, noting the teen wants to apol-

ogize to Burton and is willing to participate in restorative justice.

Marshall notes police have checked on the teen 30 to 40 times since the accident.

As for the dropped charges, Marshall said the Crown has conced-ed there is no evidence showing the teen was impaired. Also, alle-gations of dangerous driving after leaving the scene are not relat-ed to driving that led to the accident.

The hearing resumes Thursday, at which time Lamperson expects to set a date for sentencing.

By Pippa Ingram Special to The Record

Now in its 47th year of opera-tion, Comox Valley Youth Music Centre has once again scooped the talent pool when it comes to the directorial team for this years Musical Theatre Program.

Lori Mazey, Lindsay Sterk and Shannon Tyrell comprise the trio of highly talented and cre-ative instructors who have come together for this summers inten-sive program, to create the full-length comic pastiche musical Thoroughly Modern Millie.

Small-town girl meets NYIt tells of a small-town girl,

Millie Dillmount, who comes to New York City to marry for money instead of love a thor-oughly modern aim in 1922, when women were just entering the workforce. Millie soon takes delight in theflapperlifestyle, but problems arise when she checks into a hotelowned by the leader of awhite slavery ring inChina. Audiences can enjoy the 20s era via a show filled with hilarity, terrific dancing and infectious music.

Vibrant youthCYMCs Musical Theatre stu-

dents are a vibrant group of young people who will come together and work nonstop to prepare the full-length musical. Their camp experience starts with a set of rigorous auditions, similar to

those experienced in the profes-sional world. Their days will be spent from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. every day, getting the show on the way under the expert leadership of their directorial team and sup-ported by a great production crew the adults who show they too have the stamina to spend the long hours working alongside the students. The schedule is not one for the faint of heart.

Behind the scenesDirector Lori Mazey and co-

director/choreographer Lindsay Sterk have worked together now for several years. The success they had with Les Miserables (student edition) in 2012 and Shrek, The Musical in 2013 attest to their teamwork.

The newcomer to the trio is Shannon Tyrrell, who hails from

Shawnigan Lake. Her position as director of music at Shawnigan Lake School is a simple title for her enormous array of skills that include performing, competing, touring, song-writing, recording, conducting, directing, teaching, and accompanying as well as teaching three choirs, music direct-ing a major musical each year, and offer-ing private piano and voice lessons.

Tyrrell is delighted to join the team as musical director for Thoroughly Modern Millie.

This is my first time music directing at CYMC, although I have directed many shows at Shawnigan, said Tyrrell. Thor-

oughly Modern Millie is one of my favouriteshows. I directed it some years ago at Shawnigan, and am thrilled to be music directing it again. It is very cleverly written with many lead roles. All are featured almost equally which is rare in a musical. The show has catchy music with a real 20s feel and the storyline is interesting, funny, and unpredictable.

Tyrrell knows CYMCTyrrell is not a complete

newbie to CYMC however. She attended sessions as a student of classical piano, but never as a musical theatre student, although the genre is very much an inter-est for her.

My favourite aspect of any musical theatre program is the energy and enthusiasm that comes with it, she said.There is

never a dull moment, and I never ever feel its a slog. There is a constant change-up in the process because the cast has to work on three distinct areas of skill develop-ment acting, sing-ing, and dancing.

Once they have those three nailed down separately, they have to put them all together. Then you throw them in cos-tumes, make-up, and wigs, and put a set

behind them. The energy level rises with each new challenge,

and its so exciting to see a show go from zero to 100 in such a short amount of time. One of the strengths I feel I bring to the program is that I approach the musical theatre style with great excitement and passion, but I am grounded in the rigour and tradi-tion of classical training.

Time the biggest challengeCan the talented trio put it all

together in such a short time? Tyrrell has every confidence

it can be done! She reflects the team spirit when she says they are willing to do whatever it takes to make sure these stu-dents feel prepared to go on stage and that they are proud of what they have accomplished. They do it year after year, so we know it can be done!

With Mazey, Sterk and Tyrrell at the helm, local and visiting audiences can safely expect great performances from all onstage in Thoroughly Modern Millie.

Sponsorship from local radio station GOAT 98.9 FM also sup-ports CYMC Musical Theatre pro-gram as it once again delights audiences with the energy and high spirits of its youthful per-formers.

Show dates for the CYMC pro-duction are July 16, 17, 18, and 19 at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday Mati-nee on July 19 at 2 p.m.

Tickets are on sale at Sid Wil-liams Theatre Box Office ($23 for matinee and $25 for evening performances). You wont want to miss it!

Mexico City has been skanking to the cool mestizo-reggae rhythms of Los Ras-trillos since 1988, grooving to their joys and pains, following their musical quest for basic human values friendship, respect, love, communication, teamwork as well as individual effort and for the groups growth.

Los Rastrillos songs talk about all they have experi-enced during this long voyage guided by the four winds. They have shared the stage with internationally renowned groups, and with the best the Mex-ican musical scene has to offer.

Los Rastrillos is more than just a band: it is a vessel for the fusion of multiple artistic disciplines in a kind of open workshop that functions thanks to the participation of many talented cre-ators.

These contributions have enriched the col-lective project, which has allowed Los Ras-trillos to create a gen-uine and constantly evolving sound.

Los Rastrillos is

coming to The Waver-ley Hotel July 18 at 9:30 p.m. Tickets are

$20 in advance; FMI visit cumberlandvil-lageworks.com.

From July 17 to 20, Denman Island will once again host its annu-al Readers and Writers Festival.

But this festival is not like the others. Come for the authors, come for the music, come for the food and dont forget the ambience of this idyllic isle.

At most book festivals, the authors give their reading and then leave. On Denman, they stay around, mingling with the audiences, eat-ing with them, and interacting like normal human beings, except they are talented nationally recognized writers.

Solo sessions designed by the writers or performers themselves focus in some depth on aspects of their work usually their current work, work that they are immersed in and excited about. In the case of Zaccheus Jackson, spoken word artist extraordinaire, audiences will marvel at this young artists ability to take language into new and soar-ing flights of imagery.

As well, main stage events chal-lenge a mix of authors to share their perspectives with each other, and to respond to audience questions. One eagerly awaited main stage event will feature Maude Barlow, the nationally-known activist and environmentalist as well as Chris Turner, the journalist who has writ-ten about the federal governments so-called war on science.

On Sunday they will sit in con-

versation with well-known writer and activist Des Kennedy.

If honing your writing skill is a goal then this festival has lots of opportunity for you. Workshops at the Denman festival allow small groups of 10 to learn important les-sons about writing, in three-hour sessions. This year, six workshops are planned: Douglas Gibson on Working with an Editor and a Pub-lisher; Richard Wagamese on Speed Work: Driving your Creative Pro-cess; Caroline Adderson on How to Get that Novel Done; Angie Abdou on Creating Authentic Characters; Pauline Holdstock on Taking the Writer out of the Writing; and Zac-cheus Jackson on REAL Life (w/a little bit of Rhythm).

Lets not forget the five-day inten-sive Writer in Residence program which is a unique feature of the Denman festival, allowing aspiring writers to take part in a workshop with a successful published writer, this time featuring Steven Price, novelist and poet from Victoria.

Music is also a part of the Den-man festival, with open air per-formances by local musicians, and Denman chefs will provide tasty meals based on local products.

Registration is ongoing, and fur-ther details about the program and the invited authors cane be found at www.denmanwritersfestival.com

To register or by tickets by phone, call 250-335-2113.

Happys glad to finally win Yew Bat tournamentThe 11th annual Inves-

tors Group Yew Bat Base-ball Tournament was another successful adven-ture at Bill Moore Memo-rial Park in Courtenay, wrapping up in the glori-ous sunshine of a Sunday afternoon.

After several years of the trophies heading to Victoria and Burnaby, the trophies will stay here at home where they belong! a tourney spokesperson said.

Eight teams, in two divi-sions, played a round robin series of games on Friday evening and all day Sat-urday. By sunset on Sat-urday, the B side playoffs were determined to be the Toneff Funeral Services Blue Jays, Brian McLean Yankees, Edwards Avenue Athletics and Fisher Realty Twins.

The Sunday morning elimination games had the Jays and the Yankees moving to the afternoon final, and the Athletics and Twins moving to the refreshment area. Under a warm sun, the Yankees slowing took control of the game and beat the Jays 5-4.

The A side playoff picture was set with Victoria (4-0), Happys Source for Sports Islanders (4-0), Daryl Rob-bins CGA Nationals (3-1), and Burnaby Buzzards (1-1-1).

On Sunday morning Vic-toria knocked off Burnaby and Happys moved past the Nationals. The A final at 2 p.m. was a very enjoy-

able game between two good ball teams. Happys jumped to a 1-0 and then a 5-1 lead, and held on for a 5-2 victory.

The pitching in this game was impressive. Always a critical element, the Island-ers had the better elements on this day. Andy Marinus set the stage, as he went three innings and left with a 4-1 lead. Newcomer Bob Cripps then threw heat for two innings, and veteran

Dave Bennett shut the door for the last two innings.

At the plate, Ron Carter, a spectacular tournament player, went 9-for-16 (.563). Tim McDonald and Kevin Dobbelsteyn both hit .533, with one home run between the two of them. Scott Mur-ray chipped in with .500, and Ray VanderMark at almost .400 (and six RBI).

The Islanders had 10 players over 50 years of age. With the addition of

Kelly McGiffin (formerly of the Valley) and a couple of other players from Ontario, this is the team that will be heading to the Canadian National Oldtimers Cham-pionship in Brampton, Ont. for the long weekend in August. Having won the B side in Edmonton last year, the Islanders are hoping that the Yew Bat win will be the springboard to the A title this year.

Kudos to the organiz-

ers who work very hard to make this work each year. Bill Moore Park benefits greatly from the tourna-ment, as the fields are raked and dragged and lined all weekend long. By Sunday evening, the fields are in soooo much better shape than when the guys arrive Friday at noon to get the fields ready for the event, the spokesperson said.

These are the same guys

who each year in May put up the fences, with their own trucks and trailers and labour, so baseball can be played properly at the two fields. These are the same guys who take the fence down each year in August so that football can use the baseball fields. Great work guys, you are an important asset to the community sports scene!
