HISTORIC TRIANGLE COLLABORATIVE
Subject: HISTORIC TRIANGLE COLLABORATIVE
From: York County Citizens Forum (YCCF)
United Nations Agenda 21 (UN A21) is alive and well in our area. Local Regional Planning Meetings are being held as we speak. If passed, these plans will solidify A21’s hold on the Historic Triangle and the liberties we enjoy as Americans will soon disappear. (See below for more info about Agenda 21 and the planning meetings)
In response to this assault, Concerned Citizens of the Historic Triangle will hold its first meeting Thursday, March 15 7-8:45 p.m. Tabb Library Meeting Room,100 Long Green Blvd. The purpose of this meeting is to become informed about these regional plans and learn what we can do to defend our Constitutional liberties.
Mary Leedom, candidate for York County Republican Committee Chairperson, and Sue Sadler of James City County have been on the front lines of this battle locally and will be our presenters.
Do spread the word and come. We need many to voice their concerns or this “regional plan” will quickly become a set of costly, intrusive, oppressive regulations to which we, our children and grandchildren will have to submit.
INFORMATION ABOUT AGENDA 21
Excerpt from "Agenda 21- The UN Blueprint for the 21st Century," (http://windfarms.wordpress.com/2008/01/17/agenda-21---the-un-blueprint-for-the-21st-century/1st-century/):
Like most “green movement initiatives,” Agenda 21 is a “wolf in sheep’s clothing.” It is not an environmental management policy, but an attempt to impose a global centrally-planned quasi-government administered by the United Nations. Under Agenda 21, all central government and local authority signatories are required to conform strictly to a common prescribed standard and hence this is just communism resurrected in a new guise.

News from York County
It is that time of year again, when we "spring" forward from Standard Time to Daylight Savings Time and adjust our clocks forwardone hour at 2 a.m. on Sunday, March 11.
In today's fast-paced world, we often forget to stop and do the small things in life that matter most. The York County Department of Fire and Life Safety would like to remind you that when you change your clocks, you should also change the batteries in your smoke alarms, especially if you have not changed them since September of last year.
York County Fire Chief Stephen Kopczynski states "The 'Change Your Clock, Change Your Battery' program urges everyone to adopt the habit of changing smoke alarm and carbon monoxide alarm batteries when changing clocks, which could make the difference in surviving a fire or succumbing to carbon monoxide poisoning in your home.
"A fire doubles in size every 30 seconds. The sound of the alarm may give you and your family those few extra seconds to get out and stay out of your home. Smoke is usually what kills fire victims, not the fire, because the smoke puts you in a deeper sleep and without the sound of the smoke alarm, you succumb to the smoke as you breathe it in."
Chief Kopczynski also recommends purchasing a carbon monoxide (CO) alarm if you use natural gas, oil or propane in your home, have a fireplace, or have an attached garage. Install carbon monoxide alarms in the hallway near every separate sleeping area of the home. Because CO is about the same weight as air, it evenly distributes itself, so alarms can be placed on the ceiling or wall or even plugged into an outlet. These alarms are lifesavers because carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas that can kill you before you are even aware it is in your house. It causes side effects such as headaches, nausea, dizziness, disorientation and fatigue that are often mistaken for the flu. These effects can vary greatly from person to person depending on age, overall health and length of exposure.
To save lives and to prevent needless injuries, start a life-saving habit this year: when you "Change Your Clock, Change Your Batteries." Checking your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms and changing the batteries is one of the simplest things you can do to protect your family.
Additional information can be found on the Department of Fire and Life Safety website at www.yorkcounty.gov/fire or call the office Monday through Friday, 8:15 a.m. until 5 p.m. at (757) 890-3600.
The free Yorktown Trolley will start its 12th year of service on Saturday, March 17, and operate daily through Nov. 4 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. with extended hours of 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day.
The trolley transports nearly 100,000 passengers throughout Yorktown each season, which runs between the spring and fall.
Though meant to create an old-world feel with their mahogany and brass trimmings, the trolleys are equipped with modern amenities including air conditioning, wheel chair access and portable AED's in case of emergencies. The county operates two trolleys, both purchased mainly with state and federal grant money, and can transport up to 28 seated and 19 standing passengers at a time.
The trolley route begins at the Yorktown Battlefield Visitor Center and makes stops at the Victory Monument, Historic Main Street, Riverwalk Landing and the Watermen's Museum, among others, on its way to the Yorktown Victory Center on the other side of town.
The trolley operates in partnership with the Historic Triangle Shuttle, which connects Yorktown with Jamestown and Williamsburg via the Colonial Parkway. For more information about the Yorktown Trolley, visit www.visityorktown.org.
AARP Virginia and the Hampton Roads Coalition of Agencies will sponsor a free conference, "Healthy Living: Put Your Mind To It!" on Thursday, April 5 from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the King of Glory Lutheran Church and School located at 4897 Longhill Road in Williamsburg.

Chef Fred Rock from Heritage Commons is back with a cooking demonstration and tasting on preparing Meals for One or Two; and Warren Stewart, Ph.D., Virginia State President will provide a legislative update.
In addition, and sponsored by Walgreen's, pharmacist Pat Resto will conduct individual medication check-up consultations about drug interactions and side affects, as well as how to manage risks associated with taking different drugs prescribed by different doctors. Persons interested in consultations should bring a list of medications or actual medications and register for a time slot the morning of the event. There will also be free blood pressure checks.
Attendees can browse the exhibit area and win door prizes. Pre-registration is requested by March 30.
The conference is sponsored by AARP Virginia, Historic Triangle Senior Center, Olde Towne Medical Center, Peninsula Agency on Aging, Peninsula Health District, Sentara Community Health and Prevention, Senior Services Coalition, Virginia Cooperative Extension, and York County Community Services. For registration and information call the Peninsula Agency on Aging at 873-0541.
