Mother's Grieving Heart

On November 10, 2000 Maria's daughter Crystal was killed in a terrible accident. Maria went through what no mother in the world wants or expects to go through.

To moms who have suffered the loss of a child:

When Maria was faced with the death of her child, all the books she read provided the same answer. This answer was not good enough. She began to write poetry. Her poetry was a way for her to find the answers to the terrible crisis that she could not find in any book. Through writing her poetry, Maria became closer to God and she found during her journey, that God's mercy is a sufficient answer to any crisis or devastating situation.

Those poems are now available in the book, "Crystal, A Mother's Grieving Heart" published by Lorton Valley Star. It is available in Occoquan at the Coffee House of Occoquan and at Attic Treasures. It is also available online from Maria's web site.

Look Inside Our Police Force

The Fairfax County Police Department is now offering residents the opportunity to attend the Spring Citizens Police Academy, held Thursday evenings March 12 through May 16. The Citizens Police Academy offers Fairfax County citizens a better understanding of the Police Department and a greater awareness of the daily challenges faced by its officers. The Citizens Police Academy is a ten-week program designed to provide members of the public a unique “glimpse behind the badge.” Attendees will have an opportunity to learn about departmental resources, programs, and, most importantly, the men and women who comprise the Fairfax County Police Department, an organization nationally recognized as a leader in the law enforcement community. Classes are a combination of lecture and interactive activities. Topics include: SWAT and special operations, gangs, 911 communications center, patrol, crime prevention, crime scene, identity theft and a tour of the Adult Detention Center.

Classes meet from 6:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., with the exception of graduation which will be held on Saturday, May 16 from 8:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Class locations will rotate to various police facilities throughout the county. The program is offered free of charge. Applicants are required to live or work in Fairfax County, must be 18 years of age, and provide their own transportation to and from training. Acceptance is subject to review of applicant’s criminal record and police contact history. For more information or an application form, please e-mail CPA@fairfaxcounty.gov or call 703-280-0713.
