ADVERTISING: Advertorial — Fragrance Hazards: More than skin deep — Part I

We all want to smell clean and look nice, especially when dressed for a special occasion. However, the fragrances we choose could be hazardous to our health! What?! On a regular basis, we don fragrances in many ways: perfumes, lotions, shampoos, body washes, etc. These are just a few. But, these add up. Accumulative toxins from fragrances could be a key, or at least a puzzle piece, to some of your health issues. Chemical sensitivities in general, are a growing concern, but sometimes what we put on our bodies are the first, most direct source of allergies or sensitivities that we become aware of (think how you feel going through the perfume section of a department store, or walking down the cleaning aisle or pest control isle of a grocery store or hardware store).

NIC: Put needs of community first

Our beloved NIC is rapidly approaching a critical deadline this week. The NWCCU needs the NIC board’s decision on which option they will chose, should accreditation be lost. It’s an enormously important decision. Option No. 1 seems to be the most dangerous…the “teach out” plan. No. 2 seems the obvious choice as regard to what’s best for students, and least disruptive, and allows NIC to “right the ship” so to speak. No. 3 ignores NWCCU’S request, and sounds like a one way ticket to disaster.
