2014 Year in Review: January - June
An election, a flood, a teachers’ strike and the miraculous story of Jamie Sproule were just a few of the news items that made headlines in 2014. The Comox Valley Record will look back on the year that was with the two editions this week. Today, we review some of the top local stories of the first six months. We will follow up with the final six months of 2014 in our next edition.
Pictured, clockwise from left Jamie Sproule was found alive by searchers five days after going missing from his Cumberland home (inset, celebrations at the Sproule residence, the evening Jamie was found - inset photo courtesy CTV Vancouver Island); Despite school closures, Sharks were in full swim following a snow dump in February — until coach Kris loosened the training reins. The senior squads hopped out of the pool and went for a quick break in the snow (photo courtesy Tara Ryan); a Record year in review publication would not be complete without a fantastic photo courtesy Tanja Kerr. This sunrise photo was taken in March; Hit-and-run victim Molly Burton leaves the provincial courthouse in Courtenay following the guilty plea from the 17-year-old who struck her on Dyke Road.
