Ohio’s First Cyber Safety Week
by Richard Cordray, Ohio Attorney General
As both a father and as one of Ohio’s top
law enforcement officials, I understand that
while technology provides us with many
resources for finding and sharing information
and staying in touch with friends, too often it
is used by those with dangerous or unseemly
intentions. Ohio’s young people need support
and guidance from us to help them steer clear
of the bad guys and use the Internet, online
video games and cell phones safely and wisely.
In honor of Ohio’s first Cyber Safety Week
– October 3-9 – my office will be crossing the
state speaking to student assemblies, parents
and law enforcement officers about how they
can promote safe Internet usage. If you or
someone you know would like more information
about the presentations, please visit www.
OhioAttorneyGeneral.gov/ CyberSafetyWeek.
I’d like to encourage you to discuss online
safety issues with the kids you care about. My
office offers many publications and online
resources for adults to help start the conversation
including:
• Kids Safety Passport – Our most popular
publication, the passport is a pocket-sized
workbook for parents and kids that includes
space for fingerprints, dental records and social
media passwords. This is an invaluable resource
for law enforcement in the unfortunate

I hope you can help us observe Cyber
Safety Week by sharing these important
messages within your home and community.
Together, we can help Ohioans understand
that technology can and should be a powerful
force for good.

The Ohio Independent Cosmetologists and Barbers Association (OICBA) was formed
in 1997 to protect independent cosmetologists and barbers from House Bill 490 designed
to abolish booth rental in the state of Ohio. They were successful in defeating that legislation
and, since that time, have been very active in monitoring not only the Ohio legislature,
but also the State Board of Cosmetology and eventually obtained a permanent seat for an
independent cosmetologist on the State Board of Cosmetology.
Dedicated to the slogan “We’re Looking Out for You” the OICBA has worked tirelessly
to support independents by acting as “YOUR Legislative Watchdog”. In May of
2003, OICBA was present when then Governor Bob Taft signed into Ohio law an update
of Ohio’s antiquated cosmetology laws. Furthermore, OICBA was successful in defeating
a potential law that would have mandated “hair services” be subject to the state’s sales
tax. Those are just a few of the main achievements they have been able to accomplish during
the last few years.
OICBA will be conducting their annual education meeting on November 7-8, 2010 at the
Ramada Plaza Hotel and Conference Center in Columbus.
Packed with “must know” information and excellent speakers, the main theme for this
years’ premier statewide event for Ohio’s Independent Cosmetologists and Barbers will be:
“Using Technology to Maximize Your Profits (and Your Independence)”. It will feature
Don Snyder “The Idea Guy”, Joy Hart – “Face book”, Beth Graves with Salon Text.net,
and Mike Lang CEO, Paul Mitchell Ohio. Finally, back by popular demand, Kevin Miller,
Executive Director of the Ohio State Board of Cosmetology will present recent and future
regulations that impact the independent cosmetologists and the industry in general as well
as conduct the ever-popular question and answer session.
Don’t miss the opportunity to earn valuable CEU credits, learn priceless information
about the industry and Ohio’s legislative process and network with your colleagues from
across the state. For tickets, membership and additional information contact David Corey or
Linda Martin at the OICBA Office (614) 784-9772 or log on to www.oicba.com.
3 DAYS, 60 MILES TO END BREAST CANCER
WE ARE WALKING
The Stylist Newspaper is teaming up with Doug Schoon’s Beauty and the
Breast team to take an incredible journey to help end breast cancer forever.
On November 19-21 in San Diego, we will walk 60 miles in the Susan G.
Komen 3-Day for the Cure TM and raise funds for breast cancer research and
community-based breast health and education programs.
One in eight women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with breast
cancer in her lifetime. That’s why we are walking in the 3-Day

Help us raise money to make a cure for breast cancer
a reality rather than a dream for the future!
