As Scott pulled the child to safety, he was knocked to the ground and suffered a severe concussion and other injuries. His courage averted a potential tragedy. *Jennifer Walsh, 17, of New Liskeard, for her leadership and commitment of time in setting up a Student Hotline in her com- munity.

These 10 young people have organized and run a crisis line for teens in need of peer counselling. Their hard work and devotion to the cause has paid off for the en- tire community.
