The Criminal Injuries Compensation Board has awarded more than $30,000 to a 16-year-old youth who suffered partial loss of vision and scarring to his left eye after he was struck with a bottle.

Cecil Sylvanus Burgess was awarded $32,025.95 for injuries suffered when he was assaulted outside the Pembroke Youth Centre three years ago.

He spent six days in hospital after the attack and a medical report shows that his eye will never be normal again. Some vision was completely lost.

He does have some peripheral vision, although this is not expected to improve any further.

In other rulings, the Board awarded $20,635.45 to Dawn O'Donoghue after she was knocked unconscious for at least five minutes when she was attacked with a metal pipe.

She received a fractured jaw and cut left ear as a result of the attack that occurred on December 25, 1992.

Don Stanley Wilson was awarded $16,480.00 after he was stabbed in the abdomen during a fight at the Clayhouse Inn on August 29, 1993. He also received a cut on his right hand.

He required an operation to repair the cut to his liver and had to have a second operation two weeks later because he developed an abscess involving his small intestine and appendix.

Puisne Judge the Hon. Mrs. Justice Wade heads the Criminal Injuries Compensation Board which made awards worth $124,401.91 in 1994.

This money went to individuals for lost earnings, pain and suffering, legal fees and medical expenses that were caused by violent attacks.

In 1993 the Board awarded $102,335.44 to crime victims.

Other crime victims included: Pauline Green, who was doused with boiling water, household chemicals and beaten over the head with a bucket on September 16, 1991.

She received $14,498.00 for her injuries that included second and third degree burns to her ears, neck and upper back that caused some moderate scarring and disfiguration.

Ronald Marshall Trott, a member of the Reserve Constabulary, was awarded $7,660.00 after he was attacked and severely beaten by eight men on December 4, 1989.

Charles Llewellyn Wade was awarded $6,011.91 for injuries received during a fight outside the Swinging Doors Bar on March 8, 1992. His initial award was reduced by $744.56 for his part in provoking the fight.

Cleveland Murray Simons was attacked by two former employees to whom he owed money.

He received one broken tooth while losing several others and a bruised cheek among his injuries. The Board awarded him $4,800 for his pain and suffering.

Det. Con. Terence Martin Maxwell was awarded $2,500 after he was assaulted while conducting an arrest in 1993.

Kevin Bernard Bailey was awarded $7,500 for pain and suffering after he was chopped across his face with a machete during a fight. His initial award of $15,000 was halved because he provoked the attack.

Renee Kelly 17, was given an interim award of $222.65 for medical bills after she lost part of her ear lobe in a fight with another girl.

Wesley Leroy Tucker was awarded $12,067.95 for loss of earnings, legal fees and pain and suffering after suffering injuries in an attack two years ago.

The Board denied Kimberley Joi Spenser's application for compensation because her injuries, which were caused after a pit bull attacked her, were not sustained as a result of a violent crime.
