Board develops policy By Heather Mir T -A Reporter CLINTON - At its Monday meeting, the Huron County Board of Educa- tion passed a policy developed by an ad hoc committee to address con- cerns the board may be competing with local business in its ongoing ef- forts to raise money for schools. I The committee was formed after a controversy -developed last November when the private sector learned the board had created a "virtual computer store" and was offering computers for sale to parents of students in the Huron public system. "There is no intent to compete in markets currently being served by the private sector where a competitive advantage exists as a result of the util-, ization of public funds, resources. infrastructure or tax related ad- vantages," states the policy. As for computer sales, this activity would require specific approval by the board, although corporations established for funding special projects will remain at arms -length from the board. "We would not want to be involved in that activity (computer sales)," explained Director Paul Carroll. adding. "It would require action of the board." Authority regarding the sale of computers or similar activities is limited to the trustees and the intent is open to their interpretation. • Carroll explained to the board. schools are frequently approached by the private sector for profit-sharing. Students in the schools are a somewhat captive audience and there is a long history of working.with the business for mutual benefit. He added the policy discussion regrettably focused on a narrow sector. "Any venture like that is going to be looked at with the ut- most caution," concluded Carroll. • Capsule Comments with Ernie Miatello There is much talk about bacteria becoming re- sistant to today's antibiotics. One reason for this is that people don't finish all their antibio- tic prescriptions. Stopping when you "feel bet- ter" is not a good idea. Finish all the medication prescribed and help prevent bacterial res•stance. Cigar -smoking is on the increase... especially among women. Cigar smoke contains three' times more Carbon monoxide than cigarette smoke. At also increases the risk of oral cancer by four to ten times. Like'cigarette-smoking, cigars also increase the risk of heart disease and lung cancer. We 'all know we should brush our teeth after every meal but we often don't achieve this noble goal. At the very least, rinse your mouth out with water after eating. This will neutralize the acids remaining in the mouth after eating and also reduce oral bacteria bout 30%. Give yourself lots of time to refill prescriptions. Sometimes, pharma- cists have to have a prescription approved before filling and this can take time. Don't let your medications runout.
