Toano Farmer’s Market now open
 |
|
The farmers are coming, the
farmers are coming…to downtown Toano that is. That’s right, local
farmers and merchants are now bringing their fresh veggies and
treasures to the Toano Farmer’s Market at the corner of Forge Road
and Rt. 60. Hear ye, hear ye…this is NOT a flea market, but rather a
genuine farmer’s market and the locals can’t seem to get enough of
it. Read about the grand opening in the July 18 issue of the
TNT. Photo by Rosemary Van Houten |

Celebrating the 4th of July
The Fourth of July, or Independence Day, is not
about dates and numbers, however; it is about ideas and ideals.
Samuel Adams, of Massachusetts, and Thomas Paine and Patrick Henry,
of Virginia, were the leading radical advocates of revolution. In
his pamphlet, The Crisis, Paine argued that revolution was the only
recourse for the colonies, which had tried all other means to win
respect from England. “Those who expect to reap the blessings of
freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigues of supporting it.”
Sentara Williamsburg campus
is going tobacco free Marking the Great American Smokeout with
promotion of health
Call it advance warning. Signs were installed
throughout the Sentara Williamsburg Regional Medical Center campus
last week to effectively announce plans to make the entire campus
tobacco free on November 20, 2008. As the country marks the Great
American Smokeout in November of this year, Sentara will mark the
occasion locally by encouraging its staff, patients and visitors to
“Live the Mission: Be Tobacco Free.”
In support of Sentara’s mission to improve health every day and a
growing trend toward limiting the use of tobacco products, numerous
Sentara locations are gearing up to become tobacco free environments
during 2008. This movement began about one year ago as several
Sentara Virginia Beach campuses made the pledge and subsequently
implemented tobacco free policies on January 1, 2008. Several other
campuses on the south side will become tobacco free this summer and
many others have decided to celebrate the Great American Smokeout by
becoming tobacco free.
