HIGH PRESENTATION Kathryn Schoenwetter, Principal of Cooper Jr. High School, presented a background of the Smoke Free Committee at Cooper; she then introduced the students giving the presentation. Several Cooper Jr. High students then made a presentation stating why they would like the Village to pass an ordinance prohibiting smoking in public for under-aged youths. Some of their reasons for this request are: impairing their health, as well as the health of others; setting a bad example for younger students; littering lawns nearby the school; and a poor image of the school as well as the community when students are seen smoking in public. The students presented the Board with a petition with 701 signatures requesting the Village ensure that tobacco products are regulated so that under-aged young adults are prohibited from purchasing tobacco products or using them in public, a copy of a resolution passed by School District 21, and a copy of the student newsletter primarily devoted to the fact that "Smoking Stinks! " . Moved by Rubin, seconded by Braiman, to refer the request of the students to ban under-age youths from purchase or public possession of tobacco products, and also to consider the current smoking ordinance and attempt to protect all residents, by allowing those who chose to smoke to do so without it interfering with the health of others. Trustee Rubin saluted the students for making an excellent presentation. Trustee Reid also thanked the students for their presentation, however, he noted that intelligence cannot be legislated; people have to learn to accept responsibility for their own behavior; although the goal is commendable, he is not sure it fits within the realm of what is expected from Village government; it is a personal choice that people are making in spite of all of the evidence; he will be happy to consider the recommendation that comes from the Board of Health, but one of the first tests to evaluate it will be it's enforceability. Trustee Hendricks echoed Trustee Reid's comments, and asked if a penalty exists if a student is found to be in possession of tobacco products; Ms. Schoenwetter responded to Trustee Hendricks. Trustee Marienthal thanked the Cooper students for their presentation this evening, and stated that he hoped they would stay involved and give input when it is reviewed by the Board of Health. Trustee Braiman stated that he differs with Trustee Reid because he believes it is important to take a stand in this regard; he also urged the students to attend the meetings of the Board of Health; he also suggested they look at the education aspect. Upon roll call, Trustees voted as follows: AYES: 6 - Marienthal, Reid, Rubin, Braiman, hendricks, Glover NAYS: 0 - None Motion declared carried.
