KG Girl Scout Service Unit Court of Awards The King George Girl Scout Service Unit held their Court of Awards in November. The Service Unit honored Scouts receiving their 5-year and 10-year membership pins, as well as Scouts receiving the Bronze and Silver Awards.
The Girl Scout Bronze Award is the highest award a Junior can earn. Working toward obtaining this award demonstrates a Scout’s commitment to helping others, improving her community and the world, and becoming the best she can be. 21 Scouts received this award.
The Girl Scout Silver Award is the highest award a Cadette can earn. The Girl Scout Silver Award represents a Scout’s accomplishments in Girl Scouting and in her community as she grows and works to improve her life and the lives of others. The first four requirements of the
Girl Scout Silver Award help girls build skills, explore careers, gain leadership skills, and make a commitment to self-improvement. Nine Scouts received this award. —Submitted by Katherine Lenzi
Lions offer vision screening
For King George Pre-Schools and Day Care Centers The Dahlgren Lions Club is pleased to offer free vision screening to the children of King George. Our PediaVision VS100 Spot camera measures the degree of near sightedness, far sightedness, astigmatism, eye misalignment, and amblyopia plus several other useful factors. It is about the size of a large digital camera and can perform its refractive functions in just a few seconds. We are set up to print out the results for each child tested. It is particularly effective for children ages 6 months to 6 years, and for nonverbal older children who are unable to accurately report what they see. The SPOT camera is a state-of-the-art optical device, and its data and results correlate precisely with measurements made by professional optometrists. Use of Above: The SPOT Pedia-Vision Camera. Right: this device makes it Vision screening at Peace Preschool. possible to obtain early indication of vision difficulties, and corrective treatment can be initiated before significant problems develop. Plus the computer printout provides a permanent record of the child’s visual parameters, a baseline which will be useful in monitoring any change or deterioration.

“Form follows function” is a principle associated with modern architecture that orthodontists may turn on its head by saying “function follows form.” If teeth and jaws do not mesh properly due to malocclusion (“bad bite”), teeth may be subjected to excessive wear, and worse. If left uncorrected, malocclusions can lead to the need for crowns, bonding, veneers, or implants. In addition, a bad bite can place excessive stress and strain on the muscles that work the jaws. If so, pain may develop in the chewing muscles. Even worse, the bone and tissues that support the teeth may become stressed to the point where their ability to support the teeth is compromised. As a result, tooth loss may occur. Orthodontic problems require specialized care. Patients who have tooth and jaw alignment problems should see an orthodontist. Our specific qualifications in the design, application and control of corrective appliances will bring teeth, lips, and jaws into proper alignment for optimal facial balance. To schedule an orthodontic consultation, please call FREDERICKSBURG ORTHODONTICS at 540/898-7211. We are located at 10618 Spotsylvania Ave. (Lee’s Hill Center on Rt. 1 South). We are open Monday through Friday. Evening appointments are also available P.S. Not all malocclusions lead to dire consequences, and some malocclusions do not require treatment at all.
