Of Service To The Eastern Panhandle 32 nd 1982 2013 Volume 36, No. 27 Phone: 304-267-9983 • Web: www.yourbg.com • E-mail: ads@yourbg.com July 2, 2014 The Fourth of July has been a federal holiday since 1941. Though that may seem like a long time for the country to wait to celebrate the independence it declared in 1776, the tradition of the Fourth of July, often referred to as Independence Day, dates back to the dawn of the American Revolution and the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. Since then, July 4th has been recognized as the dawn of American independence, and celebrations that included fireworks and parades can be traced back to the 18th century. On July 4, 1777, the city of Philadelphia, which would become the first capital of the United States of America, held the first annual commemoration of American independence, and exactly one year later George Washington ordered that all of his soldiers be offered double rations of rum to commemorate the anniversary. In 1781, Massachusetts was the first state to make July 4th an official state holiday, and the day was actually declared a federal holiday by the U.S. Congress in 1870. However, that declaration did not grant a paid holiday to federal employees. That benefit came in 1941, which is why that year is now recognized as the first year when the Fourth of July officially became a federal holiday. Did you know?

By order of the Berkeley County Health Department, no tobacco use of any kind including e-cigarettes will be permitted — inside or outside — on hospital property af er this date. T is new policy also applies to Univer- sity Healthcare satellite campuses on Tennessee Avenue in Martinsburg and the Inwood Medical Building cam- pus. T e 2014 Clean Air Regulation prohibits smoking on the property of all health and medical facilities in Berkeley County as of July 1. T is in- cludes sidewalks, parking lots and in- side vehicles parked on the campuses. “ As a healthcare organization, we are committed to the health and safety of our employees, patients and visi- tors,” stated Teresa McCabe, vice pres- ident of marketing and development. “We fully support the Health Depart- ment’s tobacco-free campus initiative.” “University Healthcare has a respon- sibility to take a leadership role on this major health issue as the Eastern Panhandle’s regional health system. So, later this summer, our Jef erson Medical Center will also become a to- bacco-free campus,” McCabe added. More details will be announced once the ef ective date has been determined. T e US Surgeon General has conf rmed that exposure to secondhand tobac- co smoke is a serious health hazard and that there is no risk-free level of exposure. Tobacco use in and around hospitals poses health and safety risks for patients, employees and visitors.
