Despite cold temperatures,Sycamore Township is seeingmore activity by door-to-doorsolicitors, according to Hamil-ton County Sheriff’s Depart-ment Lt. Chris M. Ketteman.

Most recently, the Sheriff’soffice cited a couple of individ-uals from Indiana who wereselling lawn items, he said. Theydid not have proper permits.

The township continues toreceive calls regarding beggarsat exit ramps in the township.

“Just like Kenwood TowneCenter is a popular place forshopping, the exit ramps arepopular for panhandlers,” Ket-teman said. Residents and visi-tors are advised not to interactwith the panhandlers.

Trustee Vice President CliffBishop noted that it’s not safe togive these individuals money atthe intersections. It creates a

traffic risk. Additionally, Kette-man advised, rolling down awindow to give a panhandlermoney can lead to a crime op-portunity. They can easily reachinto a car and grab a purse, forexample.

Trustee Tom Weidman notedthat The Cincinnati Enquirer re-cently published a letter to theeditor advising people not togive money directly to panhan-dlers, but instead donate to acharity. The author of this letter

was David Ginsburg, presidentand CEO, Downtown CincinnatiInc. You can read his letter byvisiting Cincinnati.com andsearching for his name or “pan-handlers.”

With heroin being a signifi-cant problem, many of thesepeople are panhandling to buydrugs, Ketteman said. “We doencourage them to go to drop incenter. We will give them ride.Most a take bus here or have acar in parking lot,” he said.

The Madeira Law and SafetyCommittee ironed out the de-tails of the historic district ordi-nance to prepare it for its returnto city council.

The committee first decidedwhat the historic district, whichis being created by an amend-ment to the town charter, whichwas approved by voters in No-vember, will be called. Issue 13made the Hosbrook House, 7014Miami Ave., Muchmore House,7010 Miami Ave., and train de-pot, 7701Railroad Ave., part of ahistoric district.

The ordinance creating thedistrict and the commissionthat will oversee it was tabledby council Jan. 26 so it could bediscussed by committees first.The ordinance must make itthrough three readings of coun-cil before it is adopted.

The committee agreed tochange the name on the ordi-nance to the Madeira HistoricDistrict. The district was origi-nally called the Miami HistoricDistrict, which City ManagerTom Moeller said Mayor MikeSteur suggested. Resident DougOppenheimer, one of the resi-dents behind Issue 13, suggest-ed The Cleo J. Hosbrook Histor-ic District.

“(Madeira Historic District)is what the voters approved,”Councilman and committeemember Rob Steier said.

The committee also discuss-ed the name and makeup of thecommission that will overseethe district. The committee de-cided to make the name the Ma-deira Historical PreservationCommission.

Previously, it had been calledthe landmark commission, Ma-deira historical commission andthe preservation commission.

The committee agreed thecommission would include fivemembers. The committee keptthe positions that were outlinedin the ordinance. The commis-sion will have a historian, a reg-istered architect, someone withexperience in building con-struction, a member of Plan-ning Commission and a memberof city council.

The historian has been themost talked about position so

er and that a book read bya character should beread back to front since itis a Hebrew text.

It is this attention to de-tail that Leak says is im-portant to an audience.

A fan of the movie ver-sion, Leak said her ownproduction of “Fiddler onthe Roof” will be more col-orful than the typical pro-ductions of it which aresaturated in muted tones.

“I want to make surethis play has life to it,” shesaid.

Mark Toler, who is asenior at Indian Hill HighSchool, said he feels a re-sponsibility to the Jewishpopulation represented inthe production.

“This is a play that car-ries a lot of weight,” hesaid. “We have an oppor-

tunity to honor those peo-ple,” Toler said, referringto Holocaust victims.

Toler said the produc-tion also addresses topicssuch as tradition and com-munity.

Tickets are $12 adults,$10 students under 18, and$10 for the Saturday mati-nee.

far, Theis said, adding Op-penheimer wrote a letterwanting the Madeira His-torical Society to have theauthority to appoint some-one for the position. Shesaid Rayan Coutinho, whois filling in for Bob Malloyas the city law director,looked over the sugges-tion.

“As council we cannotgive up our duties and itgoes against the charterto allow another body toappoint people to our com-missions. We cannottransfer powers or dutiesto any non-charter officesor organizations,” Theissaid.

Moeller added the waythe ordinance is writtennow, it does not state thatthe commission membersmust be Madeira resi-dents. The committeeagreed to bring that up be-fore full council at theFeb. 9 meeting.

Moeller said the ap-pointment will be donethrough the regular pro-cedure of being vetted bythe Administration and

Personnel Committee andapproved by council.

“The Madeira Histori-cal Society will be invitedto submit nominations tofill openings of the histori-an; however, city councilwill be under no duty toappoint said nominee tothe commission,” the ordi-nance reads.

The ordinance willhave to make it past threereadings of council andMoeller said what exactlythe commission’s dutieswill be will not be definedfor a while.

“Once the commissionhas been created andmembers have been ap-pointed, they will be

charged with the task ofcreating the standardsand procedures for them-selves,” Moeller said.

Members of the com-mittee expressed concernabout the scope of thecommission’s abilitiesstill being open-ended.

“We need to narrowwhat they should do, so alot of these questionsdon’t pop up in the fu-ture,” Steier said.

The ordinance will goback before council onFeb. 9 at 7:30 p.m.

Every cloud has a silverlining. I was reminded of thatwhen I hung towels on the linein almost zero weather.

My husband, Frank, told methey’d freeze. My answer was,“It’s sunny outside so it will be

warm enough forthem to dry.”After a couple ofhours, I wentoutside to see ifthey were dry.Not only werethey not dry, theline had brokenand the laundrywas frozen sohard that gettingthe woodenclothespins out

was almost impossible.The silver lining? The

ground was also frozen stiff andnot muddy so the laundrystayed clean. I wound up hang-ing them on my Amish dryingrack near the wood stove.

With Lent right around thecorner, you should find somegood deals on seafood. Here’s anice recipe that really sparksup the flavor of salmon.

Oven roasted salmonwith herbs

If your salmon has a thinlayer of dark fat on it, leave itthere - it contains lots of Omega3s.

Some folks like to scrape itoff for looks, but not me.

1 (2- to 2 1/2-pound) skin-less, boneless salmon fillet

Salt and freshly groundblack pepper

1/4 cup olive oil2 tablespoons freshly

squeezed lemon juice1/3 cup minced green on-

ions, white and green parts 1/3 cup minced fresh dill1/4 cup minced fresh basil 1/3 cup minced fresh pars-

ley1/2 cup dry white wine

Lemon wedges, for servingPreheat the oven to 425 de-

grees.Place the salmon fillet in

dish and season it generouslywith salt and pepper. Whisktogether the olive oil and lemonjuice and drizzle the mixtureevenly over the salmon. Let itstand at room temperature for15 minutes.

Stir together the green on-ions and herbs. Scatter the herbmixture over the salmon filletand pat down with your hand.Pour the wine around bottom ofsalmon.

Roast the salmon for 10 to 12minutes, until almost cooked inthe center at the thickest part.

The center will be firm withjust a line of uncooked salmonin the very center. Check byinserting a small knife into thecenter - it will look pearly pinkand very moist. Cover withaluminum foil and allow to restfor 10 minutes. Cut the salmoncrosswise into serving piecesand serve hot with lemon wedg-es. Serves 6.

Healing bath saltsRemember when you were a

kid and Mom had you soak sorefeet in Epsom salts? AddingEpsom salt/magnesium sulfate(not edible) to bath salts helpsyou feel better because yourskin can absorb the magnesium,

relaxing muscles and nerves.Baking soda helps soothe skin.Especially nice with some dropsof essential oil, like lavender,added to it.

Mix together:2 cups Epsom salts1 cup sea salt1 cup baking sodaEssential oil - about 20

drops - optPour a cup under hot run-

ning water in tub.

Readers want to knowSteaming rice for fluffy

texture:“Sometimes after my rice is

cooked, it sticks together and ishard to separate.”

Once the rice is cooked,remove pan from heat andplace a folded kitchen towel orsturdy paper towel over thepan, replace the lid and let situp to 10 minutes.

What happens here is theresidual heat continues tosteam the rice while the toweltakes up excess moisture. Ialways fluff my rice with a forkbefore removing from pan.

A publication of

Feb. 4 questionThe governors of Ohio and

Kentucky announced a new planto help pay for a new Brent-Spence Bridge, which includes a50 percent toll discount for dailyusers of the bridge. Is this agood idea? Why or why not?

“Charging tolls in order topay for the bridge is a goodway to go because there areprobably more people who usethe bridge ‘just passingthrough’ than live in the area.Giving a discount to locals is agreat way to take some of thesting out of it. Make the truck-ers pay the most since theirbehemoth loads take life out of

the bridge the fastest. Howev-er, the only viable way to col-lect tolls is the high speed

EZ-Pass way. Anything elsewill cause a huge increase intraffic congestion and delays.”

M.J.F.

“The current plan is good,i.e. refurbish the currentBrent Spence Bridge for I-71traffic and build a new bridgefor I-75. The federal govern-ment needs to handle its ‘re-quired’ 80 percent share viathe federal gas excise tax.Ohio and Kentucky can sharethe remaining 20 percentevenly. Tolls will help pay forthe states share. Drivers reg-istered in two Northern Ken-tucky Counties (Campbell andKenton) and Hamilton County

in Ohio should be exempt fromthe tolls or as was suggestedpay half the normal toll. Withgas prices around $2 thismight be a good time to raisethe gas tax temporarily toassist on this effort. Also sellthe naming rights for theBridge. But please no morestudies, committees or politi-cal grandstanding. Go Fig-ure!”

T.D.T.

Jan. 28 questionWhat do you think about

President Obama’s proposal topay for two years of communitycollege, effectively expanding

school to K-14 by taxing 529college savings plans?

“The president has nowwalked back his proposal totax 529 college savings plans;however, he will still be want-ing the funding from some-where else, meaning still moretaxes. I think it is just anotherfreebie offering to promotehis nanny state concept. Fur-ther, the graduation rate forcommunity colleges is not allthat great, but paid tuitionwould not necessarily improvethat. What our kids actuallyneed is school choice and im-proved instruction for K-12.”

CH@TROOM

THIS WEEK’SQUESTIONShould parents have the right todecide whether to their school-age children vaccinated, and ifthey decide not to, should thechildren be permitted to attendschool? Why or why not?

Every week we ask readers a questionthey can reply to via email. Send youranswers to [email protected] with Ch@troom in thesubject line.

If you have a child over theage of 8, chances are, you haveheard of the upcoming PARCCassessments.

We know that our childrenhave spent countless hours inthe classroom and on home-work in preparation for theassessments scheduled to be-gin Feb. 16.

We, as parents, have decid-ed our children will not betaking the PARCC assessmentand have chosen to “opt-out” ofall state achievement assess-ments, including all practiceassessments, used to assessstudent academic growth de-signed by the Partnership forAssessment of Readiness forCollege and Careers, or anynational assessment equivalentin nature and/or alignment tothe Common Core State Stan-dards for the remainder of the

2014-2015 school year. Before making this decision

we had a meeting with theprincipal of our school andasked the following questions:

1. How many standardizedtests do our children takingthis year?

2. How much time does theadministration of each testtake including practicing,homework and testing?

3. What is the specific aca-

demic purpose for each one?4. How will these tests af-

fect our children’s grades orpass/fail into the next grade?

5. For each test, will thechildren’s teachers see hisresults and have a chance toadjust individual instruction tohelp as needed?

We, as parents, encourageyou to go to your child’s teach-er, principal, superintendent orschool board and ask thesequestions or some of your own.We feel that these assessmentsare not in the best interest ofour children.

Assessments should not bestudied or practiced. Theamount of time being spent onthe prep, practice and studyingfor these upcoming assess-ments is a waste of valuableclassroom and homework time.Do not support the “teaching to

the test” mentality. The Ohio Revised Code

3302.036 provides “safe har-bor” to school districts in re-gards to the PARCC assess-ments. In part, it states:

» Prohibits the report cardratings issued for the 2014-2015school year from being consid-ered in determining whether aschool district or school issubject to sanctions or penal-ties.

» Prohibits the departmentfrom (1) assigning an overallletter grade for school districtsand schools for the 2014-2015school year, and (2) rankingdistricts and schools based onoperating expenditures, per-formance achievements, andother specified items for the2014-2015 school year.

On Jan. 29, State Rep. JimBuchy filed emergency HB7 to

provide “safe harbor” for stu-dents whose parents choose torefuse PARCC assessments.Again, in part, it states:

» prohibits 2014-2015PARCC scores from beingutilized for promotion or reten-tion now, or at any point in achild’s education career.

As parents, we all agree thatwe want what is best for ourchildren.

Losing a third of the schoolyear to test related activities,for a test that is not for thebenefit of the student is not intheir best interest. There arefiscally and educationally bet-ter ways to evaluate studentsand teachers and school dis-tricts.

John and Regina Williams are resi-dents of Madeira.

Cincinnati has seen gasolineprices fall below $2 per gallon.Thankfully, prices at the pumpshave followed the collapse ofcrude prices on the world mar-ket. This coupled with a drop inunemployment form the basison which President Obama maydeclare: “The shadow of crisishas passed, and the State of theUnion is strong.”

During a simpler age, thechieftain is regaled as a godduring times of plenty, but issacrificed to the gods duringtimes of famine. How muchcontrol does the president haveover the cost of oil? Or on adeeper level, why have oilprices fallen so dramatically?

The pundits have offered asmorgasbord of reasons. One isthe increase in domestic oil andgas production through frack-ing. Another reason is the reluc-tance of Saudi Arabia and othergulf oil states to reduce theirproduction of oil. Yet anothershakier explanation is thedumping of black market oil.

Is it mere coincidence thatoil prices are falling since thedramatic increase of civil strifein the Middle East, a war inwhich the Islamic State in Iraqand Syria (ISIS) is but the tip ofthe iceberg (simply imagineicebergs on the burning sands)?It takes less imagination to seethis conflict as a proxy contestbetween Saudi Arabia and Iran.The battleground is Iraq and

Syria. Thepopular pre-text is the sec-tarian differ-ence betweenSunnis andShiites. Theprize is controlof the oilfieldsof Iraq.

Oil con-tinues to be theeconomic life-

line of Iran. Although the Unit-ed States has an embargo onIranian oil, it is purchased bymost countries in Asia andEurope. Oil accounts for 60percent of total governmentrevenues and 80 percent of thetotal annual value of both ex-ports and foreign currencyearnings of Iran.

We are self-mistaken to be-lieve the United States candrive down the price of oil withour domestic production topunish Putin. The more plausi-ble reason for cheap energy isthe resoluteness of Saudi Ara-bia and her allies to bankruptIran.

A collateral benefit is gaso-line retailing in Cincinnati forunder $2 per gallon. The collat-eral cost is the death of civiliansand refugees in the hundred ofthousands in the Middle East.

Where does all your mon-ey go?

The difficult question is,where does it come from?

Reality demands us tounderstand the flow simplybecause much is gone beforeit gets to us. As a businessmajor in college and havingspent over 45 years in busi-ness, I have some answers.There are many who will notlike these realities becausethey follow what can only becalled sentimental fallacies.

One of the first things welearn in Economics 101 isthat money is transferredwhen value is created. Thisis true from the hourly work-er all the way up to the topexecutive. The proceeds aredistributed according to theamount of value created. Theproportion of the distributiondepends on a number of fac-tors including productionand payment for risks taken.It is the lower income peoplewho lose the most.

There is a major factor inwhere your money goes. It iswhat is taken from employ-ers by the government. Thisis the very high cost of taxesand the costs of regulations.These must be paid beforemoney is distributed to all ofthe employees. Included inthese costs are the fees tolawyers and accountants whoare required to manage theadded risks and costs of reg-

ulations. None of

this createsvalue. Whenall of thesecosts are cov-ered the re-duced pro-ceeds aredistributed tothe employeesaccordingly totheir value

added. That is the purpose ofthis essay.

Recent figures show thatthe working class of peopleare being hurt most by thiscontinuing recession. Wagesincrease minimally if at all.Many are keeping jobs sim-ply because there is no al-ternative. Retirements arebeing put on hold due to theeconomy. This reduces op-portunities for youngerworkers.

And, there is always thefact that jobs will be movedto low tax states or overseas.There is an uncomfortablesafety in keeping whateverjob you are lucky enough tohave.

Prices increase with theadded costs of governmentbeing shifted to business.The wealthy have an ad-vantage in that they makepurchases mostly for conve-nience while the workingfolks stretch their purchasesby priority. A reduction in

the costs of doing businesswould cause a large increasein hiring. With that would behigher pay due to competi-tion to hire the best appli-cants.

I remember in my earlyworking days as plant man-ager keeping salaries a bithigher than local competi-tion.

The reason? Simple! Weretained workers. Trainingcosts stayed low and ourquality was the best in theindustry. Our employeeseven recruited their childrenas it was a good place towork.

Those days are gone asworkers have become a li-ability due to governmentintervention. It is becomingbetter to import goods or tocontract in right to workstates.

As more workers are dis-placed, their reliance on thegovernment becomes habit-ual. Then money will have tobe printed with little or novalue and we will becomelike a “banana republic.”

History repeats itself. Youneed not look further thansome of the previously pros-perous countries in SouthAmerica to see the dictatorsfinancially enslaving theirpeople.

MADEIRA — Not everyonegets to say they lived theirdream. Jim Reynolds has noproblem saying that.

Reynolds, who’s been theboys basketball coach at Ma-deira High School for the last25 years, is retiring after thisseason bringing an end to oneof the more successful runs inthe city. This season, the Mus-tangs clinched their 22nd con-secutive winning season.

“I always dreamed of build-ing a successful program,”Reynolds said. “Wow, just lookat it.”

With the final chapter of agreat book drawing to a close,Reynolds is doing his best tokeep it together and “take it allin.”

“I’m working on trying tocontrol my emotions,” Rey-

nolds said before his finalhome game Feb. 10. “I’ve beenin that gym many, many days— it’s been like my home awayfrom home.”

In many ways, Reynoldshas always been a teacher andcoach. He’s lived here locallysince he was 9. He graduatedfrom Forest Park in 1973,played one season of collegebasketball at Mount Union be-fore transferring to MiamiUniversity, where he reallystarted to focus on coaching.

“When I played, other thanbeing ambidextrous, I don’tthink I was too gifted so I thinkI had to play like a coach to besuccessful — I had to be a stepahead of everyone else,” Rey-nolds recalled.

As a kid, Reynolds assumedthe neighborhood role of play-er-coach, and realized he had a

Ready in Columbus. His chal-lenge is to take a young, junior-heavy squad and make thempodium-ready.

“It’s big shoes to fill,” Yo-nushonis said. “We’re a littlebit down, but it won’t be long.”

Competing in the GCL-South, there are no patsies onthe schedule. Every match is adogfight, including the non-conference tilts where itmakes the season for someschools to defeat Moeller.

While replenishing in someof the weights, the cupboardwas not bare at the lighter lev-els. Back at 138 pounds is ju-nior Jacoby Ward who fin-ished fourth last season at 132pounds. He is the brother offormer Moeller state champi-on, Joey Ward.

knack for something else:Organization.

“I always liked orga-nizing, leading and coach-ing the neighborhood(games),” said Reynolds.“Nothing was organized;you had to organize ityourself.”

During Reynolds’ finalthree years in college hesaid he began his coach-ing career as an unpaidvolunteer for Forest Parkdoing whatever theyneeded. After college hestarted teaching andcoaching at MountHealthy. His first headcoaching job was at Wyo-ming in 1985 and he wasthere four seasons whilehe taught at MountHealthy.

After four years atWyoming, Reynolds felt a

disconnect. He wanted toteach and coach at thesame school. In 1989, theMadeira job opened upbut it didn’t come with ateaching job so he tookthe athletic director job atMount Healthy. Luckily,for Reynolds and Madei-ra, the job opened upagain a year later — thistime accompanied by ateaching position.

“I knew it would be achallenge,” Reynoldssaid. “But, I also knew itwas a great district tosend my kids to schoolin.”

Reynolds led the Mus-tangs to the program’sonly state final four ap-pearance in the 1998-99season. Under Reynolds,Madeira won 11 Cincin-nati Hills League titles, 10sectional titles and sixdistrict titles.

This season, the com-petition has shown its ap-preciation with a parade

of sendoffs and well-wishes especially in theCHL where Reynolds hascoached in 29 of the con-ference’s 30 seasons.

But, the people whomade it truly possible andworthwhile are his wife,Linda, and two children,Ryan and Erica.

“She’s just been in-credible,” Reynolds saidof his wife. “She’s a re-markable person — Icould have never done itwithout her.”

Reynolds got to coachhis son, who’s the directorof basketball operationsat Arizona, in 2002-03 andwatched his daughterplay high school basket-ball. “I’ve been so con-sumed with coaching andteaching that I’ve neverthought of being some-thing else,” Reynoldssaid. “Madeira’s a specialplace. I couldn’t haveasked for a better situa-tion.”

seen in average matches.“Conner’s a great lead-

er and some of our juniorshave been stepping up aswell,” Yonushonis said.“The kid (Ziegler) workshis butt off. He’s beenworking hard like thatsince he was young.That’s a product of doingthe right thing over andover.”

Repetition is some-thing a dedicated wres-tler from central Pennsyl-vania like Yonushonis un-derstands well. It’s some-thing they try to instill inthe Moeller Kid’s Club or-ganization that tutorsyoung wrestlers withprep aspirations.

Ward and Ziegler areproducts of repetition andthe most likely of theMoeller mat men to ad-vance through the vari-ous stages of the “monthof champions.”

If you’re in the marketfor a used car, and preferto buy from a privateowner, you need to watchout for a new scam.

Although everythinglooks great when you seethe car offered for sale -and the owner signs theback of the title over toyou - you never get own-ership of the vehicle.

That’s what happenedto Adam Bradford, ofLoveland after he foundan SUV advertised onCraigslist. His girlfriend,Carla Hamill, said, “Webought a couple of cars,sold a couple of cars on

Craigslistso we hadcalled on anumber ofthem.”

The2002 SUVthey likedwas beingsold by awoman inDayton,Ohio. They

went to Dayton, Bradfordtest drove it, and agreedto pay $5,000. The sellerwent with them to a bankwhere the seller’s signa-ture was notarized on thetitle and then Bradford

paid her the money.Unfortunately, the

Bureau of Motor Vehicleswas closed at that point sothe seller said she wouldkeep her license plates onthe car so Bradford coulddrive it. They planned tomeet at the BMV the nextday to get the new titlefor Bradford and take offthe old plates.

The seller failed tomeet them to pick up thenew title so Bradfordwent to the BMV by him-self. Hamill says, “Hewent in, handed them thetitle, had the money outand everything. She said,

‘I’m sorry, there’s a lienon the car.” And he said,‘No.’”

In the Craigslist ad theseller specifically statesthe SUV has a clean title.There’s no mention of anauto title loan which hadbeen taken out just daysbefore the sale. Now thetitle loan company wantsthe car because that wom-an never paid off the loan.It wants to repossess thevehicle and sell it to getback the $2,000 it loanedthat woman. Police toldBradford he has somerights because he got asigned title.

Hamill says, “He hasan actual title, but theonly thing that’s good fornow is a bill of sale. Oncethey get a duplicate, thattitle is considered in-active.”

Now Bradford sayshe’s unable to find thewoman who sold him theSUV. A spokeswoman forthe Ohio Bureau of MotorVehicles says they’reseeing a lot of this newscam since the auto titleloan industry has sprungup offering cash loans forcars. Now Bradford isjoining with the others infiling a complaint with the

BMV.So, if you want to buy a

vehicle from a privateseller make sure you gowith them to a bureau ofmotor vehicles title officeand make sure the titlecan get transferred intoyour name before you payany money to the seller. Ifthe BMV is closed, don’tdo the deal until you canbe sure you can get thetitle transferred into yourname.

Duke Energy is provid-ing the UC Blue Ash Col-lege Nursing Departmentwith a $7,600 grant thatwill help transform theway students learn.

The grant is part of theUNITE (Utilizing Nurs-ing and Technology inEducation) Project devel-oped by the college. Fac-ulty in the nursing depart-ment will collaborate withthe University of Cincin-nati College of Nursingfor training on the use ofiOS apps that allow pro-fessors to build coursesand provide instructionon the Apple platform.

Carla Henderson,chair of the UC Blue AshNursing Department,says iOS apps like Nurs-ing Central are making areal impact.

“They are changing theway we teach students inthe classroom, our simu-lation labs, and clinical ro-tations by providing addi-tional tools that help sup-port student success.”

Henderson says thatall nursing students at UCBlue Ash will eventuallybe required to have aniPad mini. She adds thatthis initiative is part of thepreparation as health carecontinues to be techno-logically advanced.

“When you go into ahospital everything iselectronic, from thehealth records to medica-tion administration.Bringing new technologi-cal tools like iPad and newlearning applications intothe classroom will reallyhelp our students as theyprepare to enter the nurs-ing profession.”

For Duke Energy, thegrant is an opportunity tosupport education, a val-ued community partner,and future growth.

Incorporating newtechnology into the nurs-ing program will also helpUC Blue Ash better alignwith the UC College ofNursing in Clifton, whichis using iPads and iOSapps in its undergraduateand Doctor of Nursingcourses. Late last year theCollege of Nursing wasnamed an Apple Distin-guished Program for itsinnovative uses of tech-nology in nurse education.

Nursing students at UCBlue Ash are prepared fora career as a registerednurse (RN). Some gradu-ates go into the work-force, while others transi-tion to the UC campus inClifton to pursue theirbachelor of science innursing (BSN).
