Recognizing a Stroke
This is good information sent along by Stoneybrooke resident Vic Perez:
 
Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.  Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:

S *Ask the individual to SMILE.
T *Ask the person to TALK . to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (i.e. . . It is sunny out today)
R *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.

{NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out their tongue... if the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke}

If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call 9-1-1 immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

Fairfax County Police Department - Law Enforcement Explorer Post 1742
Annual Recruitment and Informational Meeting
Interested in a Career in Law Enforcement? Are you 14-20 years old?
 
The Fairfax County Law Enforcement Explorer Post 1742 is open to Fairfax County young adults ages 14-20.  The program is sponsored by the Police Department as a service to the residents of Fairfax County.  Members receive law enforcement training and citizenship and character education while gaining experience in leadership roles.  Exploring is a youth led program with Police Officers serving as advisors and facilitators for the program.  The Post routinely provides community service by assisting police officers with crime prevention activities, fingerprinting and photographing of children, police open houses and community events, as well as distributing public information and wanted fliers.  
Exploring is a great way for youth to prepare for their chosen career field or help them decide if their interest is strong enough to lead them into a law enforcement career.  Many active Fairfax County Police Officers were once Explorer Scouts, and just as many former Explorers have gone on to varied career fields building upon the skills gained through the Explorer program.  Every two years, the Post participates in the national Explorer conference, regularly bringing home top honors in various law enforcement competitions.  The Fairfax County Law Enforcement Explorer Post will host its annual recruitment and informational meeting on October 16, 2006, beginning promptly at 7 p.m. and ending by 9 p.m. at Police Headquarters, 4100 Chain Bridge Road, Fairfax Virginia.  Interested young adults and parents are invited to attend.  No R.S.V.P is required.  For more information please call 703-246-4311.
