Sons of guns
suspected the race to be Toledo’s mayor would get ugly, and my expectations were confirmed with a recent tasteless bit of grandstanding. On April 3, mayoral candidate Joe McNamara and former mayor Carty Finkbeiner exploited the violent and tragic murder of Kaitlin Gerber to call for background checks for potential gun owners. Barely a week after Gerber was slain by Jashua Perz, who later used his gun to commit suicide, McNamara and Finkbeiner stood for a photo opportunity at the Southland Shopping Center memorial site where grieving visitors have left greeting cards, flowers and other items in Gerber’s memory. I do not question McNamara and Finkbeiner’s sincerity in seeking gun control, but their choice of venue and the timing of their exploitation is Thomas F. Pounds boorish and insensitive. Did McNamara and Finkbeiner ever make such a stand after one of Toledo’s myriad central city shooting deaths? Where was their outrage when 1-year-old Ke’Ondra Hooks was struck in the head by a stray bullet, killed by street violence while sleeping on the floor of her family’s Moody Manor apartment? McNamara and Finkbeiner could have called for action without manipulating the death of a young woman to fit their agenda. There is no question that episodes of gun violence seem more harrowing under the media spotlight. I am open to having the conversation about how to ensure gun owners are responsible, though it is clear no law or restriction would have mattered to Perz. And I have yet to hear how lawmakers can impose restrictions on guns without violating the Second Amendment. Of course McNamara and Finkbeiner have the right to express their opinions, but choosing to stand in the freshly spilled blood of a tragic victim shows extremely poor taste and a lack of sense and judgment. Those traits are Finkbeiner’s calling card; seeing them emerge in McNamara is troubling and a bad omen for his mayoral aspirations. O

A Toledo tradition since 2005 ToledoFreePress.com n MILLER CONTINUED FROM 3 Evan is far more familiar with the “The Super Hero Squad Show,” a Marvel Comics show in which The Avengers are depicted in friendly little kid versions. I have always been a DC guy, devouring Batman and Joker stories, but Evan seems far more interested in the Marvel worlds of Spider-Man, Hulk and Iron Man. I thought a few “Super Friends” episodes might draw him into the DC stories. As we watched an episode in which the Legion of Doom used manufactured global warming to make the Earth open for a Venusian invasion, Evan asked a string of impatient questions, something he does not do when watching “The Super Hero Squad. Show” We are spending a lot of time with Evan working on teamwork, teaching him the importance of doing his individual best while contributing to a larger cause. As we watched the Legion of Doom plot and scheme to take down the Super Friends, Evan made a few astute observations. “Daddy, the bad guys are working together and being a team while the good guys are doing everything on their own and not together. Does that mean the bad guys deserve to win?” “No,” I said. “The good guys are working together for the same cause, just in different parts of the world. The bad guys are weak and mean, so they need to team up to be evil. They’re like the New York Yankees.” Evan watched a few more scenes, then said, “How come Wonder Woman is wearing a swimsuit to fight the bad guys?” “That’s not a bathing suit,” I said, then hesitated, “That’s a, um, that’s a … well, it looks like a swimsuit, but it’s her uniform.” “The girls in X-Men wear real uniforms, not swimsuits,” Evan said. “Well, Wonder Woman is an Amazon from an island, so maybe it’s hot there all the time. Let’s just watch,” I said. In the story, a scene showed Superman, Batman and Robin running for what seemed like miles in that slightly jerky, ’70s animation. Evan watched, but said, “Why is Superman running forever when he can fly?” “I don’t know,” I said. “Maybe he doesn’t want Batman and Robin to fall behind.” “Can’t he carry them and fly?” Evan asked. “He could, but isn’t it cooler to see the good guys rushing to action?” I said. “Daddy, why does Superman need Batman?” Evan asked. “Superman is Superman and Batman doesn’t have any powers.”
April 14, 2013
“Batman is a detective and very smart,” I said. “He always helps, even without superpowers, which is what makes him cool.” On screen, Flash’s enemy Captain Cold froze the Brooklyn Bridge with his freeze ray. “Daddy,” Evan asked, “Is Captain Cold the same guy as Batman’s bad guy Mr. Freeze?” “No,” I said. “They’re completely different bad guys.” “How?” Evan asked. “They both use ice and freeze rays.” I thought about it. “I’m not that familiar with Captain Cold, but he’s not Mr. Freeze,” I said. In the show, Mr. Freeze — I mean, Captain Cold — froze a New York building, intending to topple it and watch it smash into pieces. Flash used his super speed to run around the Brooklyn Bridge, taking its suspension cables to lasso the building so it would not fall over. “See, that was cool,” I said. “But if the bridge cables are wrapped around the building, what’s holding up the bridge?” Evan asked. “He must have left some cables on it,” I said. So, Evan will probably go back to watching The Avengers in “The Super Hero Squad Show,” as he chooses which myths and entertainments he favors. But “Super Friends” stuck with him, for later in the day, we had another conversation. “Daddy, why are there no black Super Friends?” Evan asked. “Well, that’s a good question,” I said. “When I was growing up, people who made TV shows and movies did not always include everybody in their shows. Today, we try to do a better job of remembering to be sensitive to include all people.” Evan was quiet, then asked, “Is that why there were no gay Super Friends? Was Robin gay?” “Why would you ask if Robin is gay?” I said. “I don’t know,” Evan said. “Evan,” I said, “It’s not intelligent to think that about someone just because of the clothes they wear or how they talk or act. It can be hurtful to someone to label them. You don’t want people to think things about you before they get to know you. And if someone is gay, you know that doesn’t ever mean we think less of them just for that.” “I know, Daddy. Daddy, was Aquaman gay?” “Yes.” O Michael S.

EDUCATION
By John P. McCartney
Toledo Free Press Staff Writer jpmccartney@toledofreepress.com
After a second round of April 8 interviews that lasted three hours, the Toledo Public Schools (TPS) Board of Education (BOE) voted unanimously to name Romules Durant as its interim superintendent. Durant, 37, TPS assistant superintendent of the Bowsher, Scott and Waite learning communities, said he was overjoyed to receive the news. “I’m very excited,” Durant said. “We have a road ahead of us, and [I’m looking forward] to being able to be in charge as well as developing a lot of energy that I have with myself along with [what’s] already here with the board. I’m just very excited to begin to look at the vision of TPS, to begin to work with our partnerships and to continue on with the Transformation Plan that we put forth two, three years ago.” Durant said he was looking forward to facing the challenges of his new job. “In regards to any superintendent, your sole duty is working in close relationship to the board members. [I intend to] begin to be much more inclusive in the discussions as opposed to in my previous position, [where I] kind of took a back seat to Dr. [Jerome] Pecko (outgoing superintendent).” Durant said his regular interactions with TPS students “in walking through the hallways, as well as [working with] many of them [as] part of my student youth group,” makes him a firm believer that student input is essential for the district’s success. “I expect to [tell students to] look for more leadership positions,” Durant said. “We want you to begin to own the mission individually in TPS.
When you’re capable of saying it, then we know we’ve done our job in due diligence in regards to setting a tone of what we expect from our youth.” Durant, a 1994 Waite High School graduate, said he is looking forward to “reinvest within the district and provide the things” he was afforded as a TPS student. Durant said he was never really nervous about whether he would be offered the interim superintendent position. He said he used the training and preparation from his student football-playing days to be prepared for whatever decision the BOE reached. “Coming from my athletic background, you’re used to performing on certain days,” Durant said. “I think what I’ve taken away from the game of football, when we’re talking about data and statistics, [is the] results in regards to how to go about 48-hour preparation — how to prepare yourself [in the preceding] 48 hours [of any event] which will allow you to perform in a means that you visualize on a day-to-day basis.” Durant deferred any comments about goals he may have for the district, saying “I leave that in the hands of my board. “My main thing is, one, start with youth in regard to what their philosophy is, as well as their goals. I’m looking forward to make sure that I step forward and carry through with those.”
‘The needs of the district’
Brenda Hill, board president and spokesperson, said the BOE selected the candidate based on who, “will best meet the needs of the district.” In their second interviews, Hill said the BOE asked Durant and candidate Douglas Heuer, superintendent of Cleveland Heights-University Heights
schools, “general questions about the school system and how would you see us moving forward. And then we had a discussion. We talked about what’s coming up. We just decided, with academics, and all other kinds of issues, and the levy, we needed someone who would be organized and someone who would have accountability. “It’s not that the other superintendent candidate didn’t [have those qualities]. We just had to decide between the two of them who we thought would do the best as far as organizing, having accountability, moving us forward, making our report card improve and also be able to get the confidence of the community. We decided Dr. Durant would probably be the best one.” Hill said the BOE was not concerned with Durant’s youth. “You find most people who do things and are famous, like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., started in their 30s and 40s,” Hill said. “So leadership comes at an early age. I think sometimes people are kind of born with leadership and leadership abilities. Dr. Durant has leadership abilities. He’s worked. He’s shown it. And we believe he would be a good leader for our system.” Hill said the BOE discussed offering Durant a one-year contract, “but those things have to be worked out” in contract negotiations with Durant, TPS legal counsel Keith Wilkowski and Hill. Once an agreement is reached, Hill said the board will publicly vote to approve Durant’s contract. Hill left open the possibility that Durant could be named superintendent at the end of his interim contract. “If we want him, and he wants us, he can apply to us and we could decide to make him permanent, or not,” Hill said.

PUBLIC SAFETY
Retired police captain talks drug legalization at UT By Brigitta Burks
Toledo Free Press News Editor bburks@toledofreepress.com
Former Cincinnati Police Captain Howard Rahtz, who spoke in Toledo on April 10 about legalizing drugs, has seen two sides of the war on drugs — what he called the country’s largest failed policy. “I do have an unusual background. I mean I’ve basically had two careers: one career in the addictions field and then at age 42, I became a Cincinnati cop,” Rahtz said in an interview with Toledo Free Press. Rahtz, also a member of Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP) spoke at the University of Toledo’s Law Center’s McQuade Audito-
rium as part of the school’s first annual Prison Awareness Week. Prison Awareness Week, April 8-13, is part of an effort by Toledoans for Prison Awareness, a coalition of groups like the Lucas County Libertarian Party, Move to Amend, American Civil Liberties Union RAHTZ of Ohio Northwest Chapter and the UT Community for Prison Awareness. Kenneth Sharp of the Lucas County Libertarian Party said he spoke to one of the co-founders of LEAP at a function and decided to try

to bring a speaker to the area. Sharp, also a UT student and columnist for Toledo Free Press, said he believes it’s good for people to see law enforcement officials asserting that the war on drugs has failed. “We are probably the most credible voice on drug policy reform that exists,” Rahtz said of LEAP. Rahtz, who worked as a supervisor for a city-run methadone program, said that many violent crimes nationally and internationally are fueled by the drug trade. “In every city in this country, Toledo, Cincinnati, everywhere, most of the violence that occurs is related to drugs,” Rahtz said. “If you’re in the drug-dealing business, you’re in there because violence maintains it. If you’re not a violent person if you’re not willing to use violence, you’re not a survivor in that business because you’ll be ripped off.” Rahtz called for reform of the United States’ drug policy. “We spend more money, we incarcerate more people and we have less to show for it than any other country in the world. If you look at addiction rates, if you look at use rates, they’re among the top of the world so the current war on drugs by all indications
seems to be a complete failure. And the frustrating thing is there seems to be so little recognition of that and so little interest in doing something different,” he said. It costs about $25,000 per year to incarcerate a federal prisoner and the United States houses about 25 percent of the world’s prisoners, according to LEAP’s website. The retired captain said he’s 100 percent for marijuana legalization. Marijuana accounts for 60 percent of drug cartels’ business, he added. “So if we were to legalize marijuana, move those billions of dollars from the illegal market and into the legal economy in one fell swoop, we’d take 60 percent of the revenue away from [cartels]. How many operations, business or otherwise, could withstand the loss of 60 percent of their revenue?” Rahtz said. Many of the remaining customers would be addicts of hard drugs, Rahtz said, adding that he advocates getting addicts into treatment. He pointed to Portugal’s reform of its drug policy a little more than 10 years ago when the country moved many addicts into treatment and also decriminalized drugs. Rahtz said that just 10 percent of drug addicts in the United States
receive treatment. “If we could double that, triple that, quadruple that, what would happen to the drug trade?” Rahtz asked, adding that he supports decriminalizing possession for all drugs. Rahtz has authored three books, including “Drugs, Crime and Violence: From Trafficking to Treatment,” which was released by Hamilton Press in August 2012. He also served as a SWAT negotiations team coordinator and captain of the Cincinnati Police Department’s Central Vice Control Section. In addition, he worked in a program that helped get prostitutes off the street. Sharp said UT’s Prison Awareness Week has been a success so far. “All the events have been well-attended I think and the reception has been good,” he said, adding that many students have approached the group’s booth at UT’s Student Union and said they know someone who is incarcerated. Sharp said the goal of Toledoans for Prison Awareness is to bring different groups together. “We’re trying to raise the awareness, pull people in. It’s really the beginning. We don’t expect to solve everything at once,” he said. To learn more, visit howardrahtz.com and toledoprisonawarenessgroup.org. O

HANNOVER, GERMANY — Toledo Mayor Mike Bell missed the first of eight scheduled business meetings April 11 because of heavier than expected traffic and construction. The expected 90-minute bus ride from his hotel in Delmenhorst took more than two hours. Instead, Paul Zito, vice president of international development with the Regional Growth Partnership, attended the meeting with New Jersey-based Radwell International alone. The industrial overstock inventory company is looking to expand in the U.S. and worldwide, Zito said. The mayor arrived at the Hannover Messes — one of the largest industrial trade shows in the world — in time for the second meeting. The meeting, with Korean company KTurbo, was attended by Bell, Zito and Deputy Mayor of External Affairs and Economic Development Paul Syring.
“Our objective this week is to shake hands, to put names and faces in the eyes and minds of companies that are at the Hannover fair that express an interest in expanding operations in the U.S., particularly in the Midwest,” Syring said. “We want to put a name and a face on the city of Toledo in their minds, to make them feel welcome and that we are a phone call or an email away and to further their decision and analysis to expand their company and their market in the Midwest.” Each of the day’s meetings were expected to last about 45 minutes, said City of Toledo Public Information Officer Jen Sorgenfrei. Typically, Bell will share what makes Toledo a great place to live and do business, Sorgenfrei said, while Zito’s presence assures companies understand Toledo has a strong publicprivate partnership and that all entities are in agreement for wanting and supporting new business. “Most don’t know where Toledo is,” Bell said. “I don’t want [a company] to ever say, ‘If only I would have known about Toledo I would

One smile, one plate of food, one good deed at a time — and definitely some dessert. That’s the plan Norm Carlton has in mind when men from St. Michael’s in the Hills Episcopal Church serve dinner April 15 at the Cherry Street Mission. Carlton, 71, a Toledo native and a sales representative in the metal finish and supplies business, has organized about 25 volunteers from the Ottawa Hills church’s men’s group, dubbed “Mondays at Mike’s,” to serve a meal cooked by Ida’s Catering. “We will be serving 200-300 guests — and Cherry Street Mission insists that these people are their guests,” Carlton said. The meal of roasted chicken, green beans, mashed potatoes and gravy, tossed salad and ice cream — adding dessert was an important touch for the men’s group — was funded by the Easter weekend offering at St. Michael’s in the Hills. “The entire parish will be engaged
in the project because St. Michael’s is giving a portion of its Easter weekend offering to Cherry Street,” said the Rev. Greg Sammons, co-rector of St. Michael’s in the Hills. The beige brick church, built in 1957, is situated on a tree-laden lot at 4718 Brittany Road in Ottawa Hills. Roz Goodwin, director of stewardship services for the mission, spoke earlier this year at the church’s three weekend services, which have a combined attendance of about 300. “She really ignited some people,” Carlton said. Goodwin said Cherry Street Mission Ministries serves between 200 and 250 meals at a time, three times a day. The Christian nonprofit served a total of 273,646 meals in 2011. “We do that with no government support, and being a Christ-centered organization, it’s always a blessing when a faith community like St. Michael’s actually ‘walks out’ the Great Commission,” Goodwin said. In addition to serving food, the Monday at Mike’s men’s group will provide music and its members said they are looking forward to getting to
know the shelter’s guests, hear their stories and offer some encouragement. “Every human has a story,” Goodwin said. “I tell volunteers every day that it could be you and your testimony that touches the heart of our guests and gives them hope. And at the end of the day, that’s what it’s all about — it’s about hope and about transforming lives through the power of Jesus Christ.” Carlton said he has a special fondness for Cherry Street because when he was a child, his father would send him down to the mission with a bag of clothes and a check to donate. “He gave to Cherry Street his whole life,” Carlton said. While Monday’s meal will mark the first time St. Michael’s in the Hills is working with Cherry Street, the church has “a passionate commitment … to be a servant to God’s world,” Sammons said. He pointed to St. Michael’s work with FOCUS Ministries, Habitat for Humanity, Food for Thought and the Salvation Army and said the church is helping the Christ the King Church in Chanika, Tanzania, to build a hostel that would provide income and a place for guests to stay. Jeff Glosser, a member of St. Michael’s in the Hills’ vestry, said church members want to provide not only a hearty meal but also to help Cherry Street in its quest to help guests get their lives back on track.

“We’re hoping it gives people a platform to help lift themselves out of their situation,” Glosser said. Carlton and Glosser both said they are hoping that Monday’s meal will be the first step in an ongoing collaboration with the mission. “We don’t want this to be a ‘one and done’ deal,” said Glosser, who works in management at Therma-Tru Doors. “Norm has done a pretty good job of getting people of all age groups excited and signed up.”
“Getting people motivated is part of my job in sales,” Carlton said. “I really hope this is a kickoff for a repeat.

Gun control
By Dave Willinger
Toledo Free Press Staff Writer dwillinger@toledofreepress.com
Toledo City Councilman and mayoral candidate Joe McNamara joined the executive directors of Progress Ohio and the Ohio Coalition Against Gun Violence and former mayor Carty Finkbeiner in asking Toledoans to urge their representatives in Washington, D.C., to support federal legislation mandating universal FINKBEINER background checks for gun purchases. The April 3 rally was set on the edge of the Southland Shopping Center parking lot in proximity to a makeshift memorial to Kaitlin Gerber, the 20-yearold woman killed by her ex-boyfriend Jashua Perz on March 24. McNamara called universal background checks “common sense” and cited statistics showing significantly lower gun suicide rates and gun violence against women
in places where similar statewide legislation is already in place. “It’s perfectly fine to balance Second Amendment rights with making sure we have safety measures in place to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people and ending senseless deaths,” McNamara said in a news release from Progress Ohio, a statewide nonprofit that describes itself as “dedicated to issue advocacy across Ohio,” and whose executive director Brian Rothenberg also spoke at the news conference. McNamara told a small gathering of local media, “We need the federal government to do this,” referring to universal background checks for gun purchases, part of the legislation that many advocates warn is now stalled in Congress. Sen. Rob Portman addressed the issue at event in Columbus on April 3. When asked about background checks by a reporter, Portman said, “There is opportunity to enforce the existing background checks,” according to a transcript provided by the senator’s office. n GUN CONTROL CONTINUES ON 11

that a lot of my colleagues would as well,” he said. Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur’s communications director Steve Fought, said she does “support universal background checks. [Kaptur] also supports a ban on assault weapons; to renew the ban that expired.” A fact sheet distributed by Toby
Hoover, executive director of the Ohio Coalition Against Gun Violence, cited a January 2013 poll by the coalition of Mayors Against Illegal Guns, that found that “83 percent of Ohio residents want every gun buyer to pass a criminal background check.” Toledo is listed as one of 900 cities in America whose mayors

have signed the coalition’s statement of principles, which includes punishing “to the maximum extent of the law” the criminals who use illegal guns and “target[ing] and hold[ing] accountable irresponsible gun dealers who break the law by knowingly selling guns to straw purchasers.” Mayors Against Illegal Guns pledges to support the goal of “protecting the rights of Americans to own guns, while fighting to keep criminals from possessing guns illegally.” Signatories also support “punish[ing] — to the maximum extent of the law — criminals who possess, use, and traffic in illegal guns” and “keep[ing] lethal, military-style weapons and high capacity ammunition magazines off our streets.” Finkbeiner oversaw the passage of a citywide ban on assault
weapons and “Saturday night specials” while in office in the 1990s. He said there were 199 shootings in Toledo last year, a “dramatic increase.” Finkbeiner said Ohio basically preempted the gun restrictions his administration put in place when “the state took away home rule” in such matters about seven years ago. Finkbeiner recalled how members of the Michigan Militia in the 1990s surrounded One Government Center in protest of his local gun bans. He said he was “impressed” with McNamara’s “courage” on the issue of mandating universal background checks, legislation that Hoover emphasized is aimed at gun sellers, not buyers. Regarding Finkbeiner’s record on gun control, Hoover said, “Carty was never afraid of this issue,” noting the former mayor’s support of it “never hurt his re-election.” O

UT’s new ‘portal colleges’ emphasize student retention By Brigitta Burks
Toledo Free Press News Editor bburks@toledofreepress.com
All students starting at the University of Toledo this fall will enter through a “portal college,” a new program linking students to success coaches and emphasizing retention. Portal colleges are part of UT’s strategic improvement plan “Imagine 2017,” designed by Scott L. Scarborough, provost and executive vice president for academic affairs. Kaye Patten Wallace, senior vice president of the student experience, said that portal colleges are part of a university-wide effort to improve retention. “We are focused on retaining students. We want them to know we care about them so we’ve revised the way we provide support. It’s a university-wide initiative; it’s not just one department,” she said. In fall 2010, UT had a rough beginning to the semester where students were waiting in long lines for services, Wallace said. UT began to look at research that showed students often leave college because they feel the college doesn’t care or offers poor service. Wallace said her responsibilities were increased to further examine the student experience, both in and out of the classroom,
after that semester. Retention is important because it’s something that factors into state funding and parents value retention rates, Wallace said, adding that she believes the first year and especially the first semester are key to retention. Jonathan Strunk, director of communications, said UT’s retention rate for first-year students who attended UT in fall 2011 and returned in fall 2012 was 62.4 percent. There will be five portal colleges, Wallace said. Students out of high school go into either the Honors College Portal, for well-prepared students, or the University College Portal for regularly prepared or underprepared students. The other portals are for online students, graduate students and adult students. The portal colleges will “own” students’ first-year experience, Wallace said. UT’s FirstYear Experience program used to be responsible for the first-year transition and Jennifer Rockwood, director of that program for eight years, will be transferred to the College of Visual and Performing Arts, Strunk said. Strunk said while there will likely be other changes to different departments, no personnel terminations are anticipated. “We are going to be looking at utilizing talents. No service is going away,” Strunk said, adding that portal colleges also integrate services better.
Ready. Set. Go!
Owens is the answer.
To start off, each portal college will feature one success coach per 600 students. The success coach will be the point person for questions that arise in areas like billing and student life. They will also be proactive in reaching out to students, Wallace said. Students will still have academic advisers who will work in tandem with success coaches. Wallace said that UT is in the process of developing training for the future success coaches. “We’re looking for people who are sensitive to student needs and understand students are customers and are looking for an overall experience when they approach college,” Wallace said, adding that the success coaches should have master’s degrees. Portal colleges are also a result of student feedback, Wallace said. When asked if programs developed by the First-Year Experience like Crib Notes, which brought guest speakers into dorm settings, or the Iron Chef Competition would be brought back, Wallace said that depends on student feedback. “We’re always open to seeking student input and then we create and develop programs,” she said. The exact number of success coaches and hiring timelines have not been finalized, but jobs will be posted at www.utoledo.edu/ depts/hr/. O

Herzing University Online recently received accreditation for its Associate of Science in Health Information Management degree program. “[It] allows our program graduates to be able to sit for the national certification exam,” said Mary Kay Taylor, program chair of the health information management, health care management and insurance billing and coding program. “The only way graduates are able to do that is by graduating from a programmatic accredited program.” This program helps students prepare for jobs in health information management and sharpens their skills in planning, collecting, analyzing and disseminating patient and clinical data in the health care industry, according to a news release. “[The accreditation] validates that our curriculum meets the industry standard in health information management,” Taylor said. Not every program found at other universities is accredited through the
Commission of Accreditation for Health Informatics and Information Management Education (CAHIIM), Taylor said, adding that this puts Herzing one step above the others without accreditation. According to the news release, it is an important credential to have now that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act mandates the health care industry’s transition to electronic medical records. “Our Health Information Management program is increasingly important in helping the industry to find qualified staff, and providing students with a path to a high growth career in health care,” said Online President Blake Faulkner in the news release. Natasha Taylor, a medical billing and insurance coding graduate of the New Orleans campus, said that her degree helped her get her current job. ““If it weren’t for Herzing, I wouldn’t have the job I have. I love my job so much; I’d go there even if I wasn’t getting paid,” she said. With this degree, students can go on to work in “hospitals, clinics, long-term facilities, consulting firms, n HERZING CONTINUES ON 15

TECHNOLOGY
By Brandi Barhite
Toledo Free Press Community Ombudsman bbarhite@toledofreepress.com
Katie Rofkar has been better at forecasting the weather than her career path. The on-air weather forecaster turned teacher turned school administrator is now the CEO of Nemsys, a technology support firm in the Warehouse District. “I would have never ever predicted that this is where I would be,” the 32-year-old said. But her path toward becoming a female leader in a male-dominated industry is more natural than it would seem. “I went to school for meteorology; that is where it started, but I have a background in technology through that,” she said. In December, her company relocated from 321 Perry St., near Fifth Third Field, to the former home of the Toledo Police Department’s mounted patrol unit at 122 South St. Clair St. “I was one of those people while growing up here who was like, ‘I am going to leave,’” Rofkar said. “I went to Arizona — as far away as I could possibly get — but as an adult, I really realized that there was a lot to offer here in Toledo. That is why I decided to stay and build the business here.” When Nemsys changed its business model, Rofkar knew a new location (with ample parking) would be necessary. With the move, the space went from 1,500 square feet to 7,000. “We have always provided support and we have always sold [customers] technology, but it was their decision on when to get it,” she said. “We decided to bring the three pieces together. So we now have technology, support and training for one flat fee per month. If you become our client, we give you a computer every three years.” This is important because after three years, computers have a 40 percent increase in downtime. This downtime equals 4.7 percent per computer, which adds up to one work day per month, she said. Her other focus is training. Rofkar said employees aren’t trained on the

many functions — and time-saving methods — available in their software. “We know a lot about technology and how people use technology,” Rofkar said. “We can see the downfalls. We know these stats are true — after three years, computers have problems.”
Storm chaser
After Rofkar attended the University of Arizona and then graduated from the Ohio State University in 2002, her problem was finding a job. “When I came back, the only real job I could do was be on air. We don’t have chief meteorologists who leave very frequently. I still had a passion for
it, but I really liked education. I went into education and got my master’s.” She taught science at Washington Local Schools, her alma mater, and then moved to Erie-Mason where she became a curriculum and information technology director. During that time she started sharing weather duties with another meteorologist at FOX Toledo. She was Katie Miller then. “It was kind of interesting because I would go to school and I had seventh graders at the time and they were like, ‘Miss Miller, you did so well on TV. You didn’t screw up.’ Or they were like, ‘Man. you were wrong.’” Since she was teaching science, part of the curriculum was meteo-
rology and her class would help forecast for that evening’s shows. “It became very taxing when it was spring,” Rofkar said. “I would have to go into the station at 2 in the morning because we had a thunderstorm warning or a tornado warning. Then I had to be at school at 7:30. I was like, ‘I can’t do this anymore.’” Rofkar said the on-air job was fun and she loved it, but she didn’t want to leave the Toledo area. To advance she would have had to move to a city that needed a chief meteorologist. When she got married, she quit television and focused on her job at Erie-Mason. However, when she was pregnant, Erie-Mason was facing bud-
getary concerns, and Rofkar would be laid off or have to return to teaching. “I decided, perfect out, I am pregnant.” She was in a Dale Carnegie course when she announced she needed an IT guy to help with the transition at Erie-Mason. Two Nemsys employees responded. “I know what it is like to be on the other side and what their commitment is,” she said. Soon founders Drew McCallum and Matt Nachtrab asked about her plans post-Erie-Mason. She said, “I am pregnant and that is the least of my worries.” n NEMSYS CONTINUES ON 18

18 Business Link They suggested she work in sales. “But I don’t know anything about sales. I am a meteorologist for God’s sakes,” she remembered telling them. She took the job, though, and when McCallum and Nachtrab decided to move to Florida because they had received an investment for Nemsys’ software LabTech, they made her CEO and a partner. “We brought her in to run sales. Over time, she took over marketing,” Nachtrab said. “As she was doing those functions, we saw she had operational strength. She didn’t have a lot of financial experience, but I knew she could learn that over time. She had the ability to look at a company and figure out how to make it operate leaner, more profitably.”

Social responsibility
“I think that it is great that they made a commitment for their business to remain Downtown. As a technology company, there is a great synergy between technology and art,” said Marc Folk, executive director of the Arts Commission of Greater Toledo. “They have done a great job in showing a social re-
Rofkar said keeping Nemsys in Downtown Toledo was a deliberate decision. “When we were looking for buildings, this was not the cheapest space. We could have gone out to the suburbs, but that wasn’t what was important and how we can help contribute back to the community.” Rofkar said the new location was smelly and needed some work because it used to be a horse stable. The hay and water had seeped into the walls and all the studs and drywall had to be replaced. “It had even infiltrated into the ceiling tiles,” she said. Rofkar worked with the building’s owner, Dave Ball, to stay Downtown. The stalls for the horses were turned into an open room of work spaces. Hopefully, the pasture will eventually become a community garden as a way to give back, she said. One way the company is already giving back is by participating in the Art Commission’s Art Walks.
sponsibility and showing an active role in supporting the arts.” One day Rofkar would like Nemsys to be an anchor in the technology corridor that is already starting to develop in the Warehouse District with Seed Coworking, Whisper Labs and NORTH design. “We want to build up those part-
nerships with these other groups so we can provide that complete technology solution,” she said. Rofkar is about to make a move herself. She is relocating from Bedford to the Toledo area in time for her daughter, Mackenzie, to start school. This makes her latest forecast a sure thing: being in Toledo for a long time. O

Our goal is to help raise awareness of Kawasaki Disease (KD) and raise funds for The Kawasaki Disease Foundation. The KD Foundation is supported entirely by volunteers and donations. Raising awareness among the medical community, child care providers and the general public is critical to early diagnosis and treatment. Don’t STOP the BEAT is in honor of Owen Grant of the Bryan area, who was only 3 months old when he was diagnosed. KD is a serious illness that primarily affects young children and infants and is poorly understood. The cause has not been determined and therefore, it’s not known how to prevent it. Your participation/donation will help make a difference!

Rofkar is unique in many ways. She is a female CEO. She is only 32. She is the leader of a technology firm. She credits her dad, Dan Miller, for developing her interest in a maledominated subject. “My dad and I really liked the weather. We would watch the weather. I grew up in Shoreland, and the boaters are the meteorologists. They know what to do; they don’t have to watch the television.” Her dad said he used to work until 4 a.m. and he would wake up Rofkar and her sister to watch the falling meteors. “It was neat to watch her on television,” Miller said. “She wanted to be a storm chaser and she got into television because she went down to audition for The Face of FOX (Toledo) and when they found out she was a meteorologist, they hired her for that.” Even though she isn’t on TV anymore, Rofkar said studying meteorology made her computer savvy because so much of forecasting weather involves technology. One of Nemsys’ advantages is using technology to fix technology, which is actually not as common as it would seem, according to CFO Blake Underwood. “Our guys are tech guys; they don’t like to be on the phone,” Underwood said. “They like to solve problems before they become issues. We do corrective maintenance before our clients even realize there is a problem.” Nemsys’ newest product Connect has three components: the latest technology, local 24/7 support and technical training. “We want to be that insurance for our business,” Rofkar said. “We don’t want our clients calling us to complain about technology. We want them to call us and say, ‘Hey, we are moving; we want to do bigger and better things.’”
Underwood said when Nemsys brings in clients, they become part of the network and whenever a problem is detected, the solution is pushed network-wide. Rofkar said many IT companies offer the break-fix method of “You are broken, you call us.” “You can make a lot of money doing that, but the only problem is it isn’t a long-term solution that helps the business,” she said. “We are all entrepreneurs here within Nemsys and we want to create solutions that help them use their technology in a productive way.” Ken Wood, president of Martin + Wood Appraisal Group, is a local client. “As a small business owner, I like the fact that the Connect program from Nemsys offers one flat monthly fee for all of our hardware and computing needs while allowing us to have new equipment every three years,” Wood said in an email. “On a turnkey basis Nemsys takes care of our computer equipment and IT requirements so that we can focus on the other segments of our business.” Wood said Nemsys is also responsive and offers employee computer education opportunities. A recent session was “Tips and Tricks.” Another session showed clients how to print labels from their computers. “We offer training that is customized for small businesses,” Underwood said. “They are one hour, they get lunch, too, and we make sure clients can master them in that time frame. The retention of the information is pretty strong.”
