Help students learn a lifesaving skill WEST POINT — If a cardiac arrest occurred to your friend or loved one, would you know what to do? Statistics show that nearly 80 percent of cardiac arrests happen at home, witnessed by a family member, but most Americans aren’t able to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) when it’s needed. That leaves a 6.4 percent survival rate for sudden cardiac arrest victims.

Opinions needed KING WILLIAM — Residents have just two more weeks to give their input on the future of their county. The citizen survey for the update to the county Comprehensive Plan will be available until February 15, at which time the results will be turned over to the Planning Commission and incorporated into the new plan. “The county’s Comprehensive Plan sets the stage for all the county does concerning its services, development, growth, and general management. Citizen input provides a voice in the future direction of the County,” said King William Citizen’s Action Team member Mary Beth Hawn. “Do we want to encourage business growth? What kind of businesses? Where should they be located? What is important to preserve in the County while we manage growth? The Comprehensive Plan is being revised this year and will provide the basis for county administration for the next 10 years.” The survey is the second community focused effort the KW CAT, who also developed the “Community Connections” booklet: A listing of family and community resources in the county, has been involved in since its inception over three years ago.
