HEROES helps change the tragic statistics

Using “real life” victims and peer presenters

Most of us have pushed the
limit and “stepped over the line”
‘at one time or another.

Some were lucky, they escaped
relatively unscathed, But other’s
weren't so lucky—they paid for
their independence with their
lives. The loss of their life was
categorized as an “accident”,
when in reality there was no
“accident”. People shook their
heads and talked about the “terri-
ble accident” that claimed their
life. But was it truly an accitent?

The word accident is defined
as: an unavoidable happening;
unpredictable; an act of fate; or
SOMETHING WE HAVE NO
CONTROL OF.

But the CHOICE to cross the

line was theirs, and the “accident”
could have been avoided. There-
fore, in the true context of the
word “accident”, the loss of their
life wasn't an “accident” at all. It
could have been avoided.

The sad reality is that each
year, 3.8 million Canadians are
injured and 13,000 die as a result
of their injuries. Besides the

An injury is a preventable and
predictable event, and not an
accident at all.

But how do you get the message
out to teens, who, sure of their
immortality that injuries and acci-
dents can be

The answer is simple—the
HEROES Program. Using high-
tech d projec-

incalculable human toll, injuries
account for approximately $13.2
billion dollars per year in medi-
cal costs.

But the worst cost of all is the
forfeiture of life of those most
prone to death by accident—per-
sons between one and 44 years of
age. The ones at highest risk of
accidental death are teens. Seven
out of every ten teenagers who
died in Canada last year, died as
the result of a preventable injury.

had to face.

“They drudged it through and
worked hard at it. Even when
their kids were sick they hung in
there. It’s a real accomplish-
ment. They've had a lot to deal
with—a lot of attitudes.”

It was pointed out by
McPherson that the women will
be receiving their Dogwood
Diplomas, the same diploma
that is given to traditional gradu-
ates, not a G.E.D. diploma.

“Correspondence isn’t an
easy way to go. It’s a dry and
difficult road.”

Not only did they complete
the correspondence courses, an

alternate way of learning which
has a low success rate, said
McPherson, but they excelled
academically.

“Most of them were getting

“Kristie Allen shines a lot, I
think it is her personal gutsiness,
