Hunting and gathering M

Party for a good cause

he first weekend in August is here, and it’s time for one of the summer’s great parties and charity events — Smoke on the Water – Ribs for the Red Cross. Last year’s event raised more than $60,000 for the local Red Cross efforts and there are high hopes for this year with an expanded lineup of events and music. For the tremendously low price of $5, you can visit the Promenade Park riverfront event to see rising stars Green River Ordinance on Aug. 5, ’90s superstars Tonic on Aug. 6 and country legend John Michael Montgomery (with opening act Rachel Timberlake) on Aug. 7. Don’t worry if you haven’t heard of Green River Ordinance. They play great pop rock and sprinkle in cover versions of songs you’ll know by a wide range of classic artists. Tonic will rock its greatest hits, including “If You Could Only See.” John Michael Montgomery has several all-time favorites, including “I Swear.” In addition to a dozen outstanding rib vendors who offer every flavor and variety of barbecue, there will be contests for eating pulled pork and spicy coleslaw, a cornhole tournament and a great Kids Day Thomas F. Pounds on Aug. 7. You will have an opportunity to vote which vendor will receive the coveted “People’s Choice” award and watch as a panel of celebrity judges chooses its favorite barbecue. Toledo Free Press is proud to be in its fourth year as a media sponsor for the event, which draws together such big-league community partners as Columbia Gas of Ohio, KeyBank, FOX Toledo, Meijer, Cumulus Broadcasting, Healthcare REIT, SunChemical, Heidelberg Distributing, the UAW and the AFL-CIO. This is Downtown Toledo’s only rib and music event and NW Ohio’s greatest and freshest charity rib event. For full coverage of this weekend’s event, see the Aug. 3 issue of Toledo Free Press Star, which contains interviews with Tonic, Green River Ordinance, Timberlake and Montgomery. We’ll see you there!

ENVIRONMENT

By Patrick Timmis

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer ptimmis@toledofreepress.com

Local environmental advocate Susan Searles and her team have distributed about 11,000 pamphlets around Toledo as part of their “Say Nay to Spray” campaign. The main thrust of Searles’ argument is that the pesticides sprayed by Toledo Area Sanitary District (TASD) — the city mosquito-control agency — are dangerous to wildlife, pets, children and adults. The agency responds that its chemicals carry minimum risk and do not harm residents or the environment. Searles wrote in an online article that pesticides are linked to childhood epidemics like cancer and asthma. She maintains the chemicals are deadly to bees, which are vital to pollination of fruits and vegetables. Pesticides also indirectly poison insect predators, such as birds, bats and amphibians, when they eat infected mosquitoes, she wrote. Searles challenged the effectiveness of pesticide spraying, writing that it does not work for more than a day or two. Studies from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention seem to conclude that mosquitoes develop immunity to the chemicals after a time, she wrote. “Then with fewer predators, the mosquitoes multiply faster than they did originally. The logical conclusion is that mosquito sprays are counterproductive, actually increasing the number of mosquitoes, because of the kill-off of their predators,” she wrote. Addressing the common concern that mosquitoes carry West Nile virus

(WNV), she said on average only one in 150 people infected with WNV becomes seriously ill, and that person typically is either very old or already very sick. “So it’s a very small population that WNV is affecting,” she said in an interview, “and the hazards of the spray

are such that it’s not fair … to fumigate and pesticide the majority of the population because a very small percentage have that risk.” The chemical chlorpyrifos — used in spraying mosquitoes — is found in the vast majority of Americans; such pesticides damage the immune

system, rendering people more susceptible to WNV, she said. Her concerns extend beyond the ordinary application of pesticides. “It’s a security issue,” she said. If a TASD truck crashed and the chemical tank was punctured, she said, this spray — which she said was origi-

nally developed by the Nazis in concentrated form as a chemical weapon — could infiltrate the population. “It would be a disaster, a complete disaster,” she said. “Not to mention terrorists breaking into TASD and wreaking havoc.” n SPRAY CONTINUES ON A6

n SPRAY CONTINUED FROM A5 Searles has repeatedly brought the issue before the city councils of Toledo, Sylvania and Maumee, and plans on meeting with the county’s Health Department next week. So far, she has not been able to convince lawmakers to enact a ban because of a lack of community pressure on lawmakers. This is why she said she has distributed more than 10,000 flyers advising residents how they can opt out of being sprayed. Her blog site is http:// sites.google.com/site/saynaytospray/ Searles stressed that she has no malice toward TASD itself and has found the agency’s employees to be as courteous and accommodating as possible. “I don’t want to shut them down,” she said. “I want them to turn to a nontoxic approach — which is advocated by the Centers for Disease Control — which is not spraying, but helping communities eliminate the standing water which breeds mosquitoes. It’s that simple.”

TASD responds

“It’s not our goal to come to work and spray a lot of pesticide,” said Lee Mitchell, TASD’s biologist. “I’d be perfectly happy not to have to spray anything to kill mosquitoes, but that simply is the tool

that we have at the present time. I would love to see a different technique than we’re using.” Mitchell said sumithrin and chlorpyrifos, the pesticides TASD uses, are not perfect. Ideally, each droplet would be a heat-seeking missile that never missed the insects. In a perfect world, there would be no pesticide residue on fruits or vegetables, but in today’s mass-produced agricultural system, that’s not realistic, he said. But Mitchell maintains that the actual risks are minimal and the cases of real harm in Lucas County basically nonexistent. When TASD sprays, it was only two-thirds of an ounce of pesticide per acre. That translates to two tablespoons, Mitchell said, and most homeowners only live on about half an acre. According to the Virginia Department of Health, “Sumithrin has very low toxicity to humans. Shortterm or accidental exposure to very high levels of sumithrin can affect the nervous system, causing effects such as incoordination, tremors or tingling and numbness in the area of skin contact. Since sumithrin is applied at very low concentrations, most people would not be expected to experience any adverse health effects.” n SPRAY CONTINUES ON A7

Profile of Excellence: Andrea Ohrt Owens Community College Alumna

Andrea Ohrt grew up in the Toledo area. She knew she wanted to be an accountant from an early age. She attended the Vocational School at Whitmer High School and loved the small school feeling she got from being part of the 15-student accounting program. After graduation, she had a choice to make. Her father said that if she went to a two-year college, he would pay for it, but if she went to a four-year university, she would have to pay herself. “I really wanted to go to four-year school, I didn’t want to go to a community college,” said Ohrt. “I decided to get a job and pay for school myself.” She held several jobs and attended a local university in the area. “As it turned out, I hated the big school,” said Ohrt. Her father suggested Owens Community College, but Ohrt was reluctant. She still wanted to go to a four-year school. She finally decided to give Owens a try and began taking classes in 1987. “I loved it. Owens was perfect for me,” said Ohrt. She was able to work a full-time accounting job at a law firm, two part-time jobs and attend classes. She graduated in 1992 with an associates in accounting technology.

In 1995, she began as the Controller at Metzgers Printing + Mailing. In 2000, she graduated with a bachelor’s degree in accounting. In 2001, she passed her Certified Public Accounting tests. Today, she still works at Metzgers. She has seen the company grow from 25 employees to nearly 100 and add services and product lines. She is in charge of the accounting department, bookkeeping, banking, financing and audit process and oversees two staff members and accounts receivable and accounts payable. “Owens laid the foundation for what I have now. It gave me the drive I needed to continue my education,” said Ohrt.

AUGUST 7, 2011 n SPRAY CONTINUED FROM A6 Chlorpyrifos, which TASD applies at night, is more dangerous. According to the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, short-term oral exposure to low levels of chlorpyrifos can cause dizziness, fatigue, runny nose or eyes, salivation, nausea, intestinal discomfort, sweating, and changes in heart rate. Short-term oral exposure to much higher levels of chlorpyrifos can cause paralysis, seizures, loss of consciousness and death.

The chemical was banned for use by homeowners by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Mitchell said the main reason for the ban was misuse by people who sprayed their own homes with the chemical. “Most people don’t have a degree in entomology, so when it comes to killing a bug, anything beyond using a flyswatter or something pretty basic has the potential to be a problem.” Mitchell said the most likely way for someone to be orally exposed to the pesticide is to eat fruits or veg-

etables that have been sprayed. But he said the residue would likely be minimal and recommended that people wash their food before eating it, citing USDA guidelines. Mitchell said employees would be the first to experience illness because of contact with the gas, but that hasn’t happened. “All we do is one thing, so we have to be pretty focused on that one thing and not screw it up,” he said. “So because we have trained employees we’re able to keep people safe, and we’ve

Visit www.toledofreepress.com never had a lawsuit in Lucas County because of ill health or disease or employees filing suit that we’ve somehow adversely affected their health.” TASD has also never seen a bird or bee tested positive for death by pesticide. Bees have been dying because of parasites and a new disease affecting the whole bee industry that is not pesticide related, Mitchell said. “We’ve worked with beekeepers in Lucas County for years and years and years, and we’ve never had anyone accuse us of killing bees.” The reason TASD uses multiple kinds of pesticide — sumithrin and chlorpyrifos for adults and BTI, Abate and Tire Abate to kill larvae in the water — is to fight the mosquitoes’ ability to build resistance, Mitchell said. TASD’s efforts are aided by the out-of-county mosquitoes, without any genetic fortifications against the chemicals, that fly into the area attracted by city lights. They breed with Lucas County mosquitoes and impede the resistance process, he said. Mitchell said the mosquito popu-

lation is dropping as the summer goes on, but mid-July to mid-September is the hotspot for West Nile Virus. Five pools of mosquitoes Mitchell has captured have tested positive for WNV this summer — a typical rate, he said. TASD also has some natural recommendations, including eliminating standing water and stocking ponds with Gambusia, a small mosquitoeating fish TASD will deliver for free. Anyone who wishes to opt out of spraying can contact TASD and request the removal form. Mitchell said the “Say Nay to Spray” campaign — which he said would be intimidating to someone without the context of a scientific background — has resulted in about 30 people opting out so far this year. “I’m surprised we haven’t gotten more calls because of those pamphlets,” he said. “A lot of that I would attribute to just the trust factor, since we’ve been here a long time. We’ve been here 65 years. Our employees live in the community. My kids grew up in this community.” O

ProMedica will open the region’s first freestanding hospital to offer exclusively orthopaedic and spine services this fall. The hospital’s first surgery is scheduled for Sept. 29. It will have its first full day Oct. 3. ProMedica Wildwood Orthopaedic and Spine Hospital, which cost nearly $33 million to build, includes six operating rooms, 36 private patient rooms, inpatient physical therapy and comprehensive inpatient and outpatient diagnostic services. The new hospital will need more than 200 new employees. Those employees will be transferred from inside ProMedica and hired from outside, said Darrin Arquette, the hospital’s vice president of operations. Paul Fenton, an orthopaedic surgeon at Toledo Hospital, said the exclusive focus of the new hospital would increase its efficiency and effectiveness.

“Right now the whole medical system is inefficient,” Fenton said. The hospital will focus on postoperative care of patients, and that is what the hospital’s team says will set it apart. “Hospitals are kind of jacks of all trades and masters of none,” Fenton said. “And this is one of those things where you can say, ‘This is all we do.’” Wildwood will employ at least 17 surgeons. The exclusive focus on elective — as opposed to trauma or pediatric — orthopaedics will remove those patients from other area hospitals. “The same type of surgery is going to be done here that’s done in all the other hospitals currently,” said orthopaedic surgeon Dr. Karl Beer. “We’re going to have better outcomes. We’re going to have less complications.” That shift will have the dual effect of opening more space and resources in hospitals and creating a more comfortable environment for Wildwood’s patients, Arquette said. n PROMEDICA CONTINUES ON A9

AUGUST 7, 2011 n PROMEDICA CONTINUED FROM A8 These patients are typically healthy people with specific orthopaedic issues, he said, and it is difficult in most hospitals to promote an atmosphere of health for them when they are surrounded by people with much more serious illnesses. The hospital is the eighth in the country and the first in the area to have a Hemosafe blood bank refrigerator installed, said Holly Bristoll, the new hospital’s president. The device stores blood coded to patients’ blood types so surgeons

have a readily available supply should a transfusion be necessary during an operation. But Beer said the goal is to only use the machine about 5 percent of the time — moving instead toward bloodless surgery, a technique he and other surgeons are utilizing more often. “We actually found that people who required a blood transfusion after a hip or knee replacement had a 10 times higher rate of infection,” Beer said. The bloodless process, he said, allows

surgeons to operate without infection, with less pain, without blood clots and without using blood. This is also ProMedica’s first all-digital hospital. Information systems in the operating rooms allow doctors to immediately access a patient’s records in case of surprises during surgery. Fenton said the hospital would become particularly valuable to patients as baby boomers begin to have specifically orthopaedic needs. “The patient experience I think will be phenomenal,” Bristoll said.

FOOD

Toledoans serve up victory in food product contest By Zach Davis

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer zdavis@toledofreepress.com

The Center for Innovative Food Technology (CIFT) announced that two Toledoans were among the three winners of its fourth annual Food Product Development Contest. The applicants submitted their products in June to a panel of industry judges who assessed the product’s’ viability, commercialization potential, business strategy, marketability and overall appeal. “It’s really an opportunity for us to work with the startups,” Vice President and Director of Agricultural Programs Rebecca Singer said. “We do a lot of technical assistance and product development work for every company in the state. There’s a special place in our heart for the entrepreneurs and this is an opportunity to reach out to them and give them the assistance they need to get to the next step.” Toledo natives Moussa Salloukh and Jules Wilkins joined Darlene White from Grand Rapids as winners

of the contest. “The stories behind each one of these people is very unique,” Singer said. “Each one has a different reason for doing it and a different perspective. The food industry is difficult. You have to have the passion and dedication for it and I sense that from their past experiences they will be able to.” Salloukh is a managing partner for La Scola Italian Grill and his “white balsamic dressing” earned the honors. The dressing is described as “a sweet, light, yet crisp white balsamic dressing with a unique taste that covers and holds to lettuce without overbearing the salad.” It can also be used as a marinade on poultry and pork. “We have had customers come up to me wanting to buy this dressing,” Salloukh said. “They want to buy a container or bring in their own container. It just dawned on me that maybe we have something good here.” Wilkins submitted her “sweet and spicy thai marinade” which she developed 17 years ago and used in her career as a chef. She worked as the head chef at Chez Bin (1998-2002)

SENIOR LIFESTYLE CHOICES www.otterbein.org

and a corporate chef at Navy Bistro and Tango’s Mexican Cantina. The product is said to be “a rich, robust, and versatile marinade based on the Asian/Thai flavors of ginger, cilantro, toasted sesame oil and sweet and spicy chili peppers” and can also be used as a salad dressing. “I love bold, robust things and I love when they come out in the flavors of what I do,” Wilkins said. Wilkins works as a backstage caterer for bands and has served the likes of Pat Benatar, Bob Dylan, Kid Rock, Paul McCartney, Keith Urban, and Charlie Sheen for his “Torpedo of Truth” tour. White, the only winner from outside Toledo, created “Barista Bites,” a scone and biscotti crossover. She works for a loan and nonprofit organization and brought her product in routinely to feed to her coworkers. All three winners will receive benefits like nutritional testing and labeling, shelf life testing and help with increasing batch sizes. They will also receive vital help with logos and packaging assistance. “Packaging is a huge thing,” Singer

said. “Especially if you have things like the dressings that we have this year that is highly competitive, you need something that stands out to make the customer want to try it.” CIFT is a nonprofit organization that

offers assistance for food and agricultural companies. Although it works with large companies such as Kraft and Smuckers, it also focuses on small companies. For more information on CIFT, visit www.CIFTInnovation.org. O

TOLEDO FREE PRESS SPECIAL SECTIONS EDITOR sottney@toledofreepress.com

Local technology company TechTol Imaging has been busy expanding its online collection of 3-D educational images in preparation for the upcoming school year. The free database, available at 3DTOAD.com, features images in 16 categories, including dissections, skeletons, geology, molecules and more. About half the images are also viewable with anaglyph (red and blue) 3-D glasses. The name 3DTOAD.com is an anagram for TechTol’s Online Academic Database. The collection is unique, said Zak Ward, vice president of visual applications at TechTol. “You can scour the Internet and you won’t find an education website like this anywhere in the world,” Ward said. “You’ll get a couple college libraries, but you have to enter a password and you can’t get on it. We’ve really started to develop a centralized location for these images.” The site has been accessed by users in the United States, India, Japan, Great

Britain and Germany, Ward said. “It’s exciting,” Ward said. “I believe if we get a lot of people using this and keep getting the appropriate feedback to make it better, this could literally help a lot of schools across the globe.” Items have been donated from Owens Community College, the University of Toledo, Fossil Park in Sylvania and Reverend Guitars in Detroit. The images are captured using a circular studio with 16 cameras shooting simultaneously. TechTol, located at the Toledo campus of Owens Community College, also recently partnered with the Wood County Historical Society. “They’ve got so much stuff, from the Civil War to old farm machinery to old tools to arrowheads and Indian stuff,” Ward said. “Within the next week or so, we’ll be starting to tap into an amazing array of historical items.” Randy Brown, curator of the Wood County Historical Museum, said TechTol’s 3-D images will be useful for community presentations as well as giving people outside of the area access to the museum’s collection. “I think we’ll be able to get a lot of good use out of it,” Brown said.

Ward sees the site as an asset for any school struggling with its budget. “Here’s a free solution a teacher can pull up with a projector and point things out to students. It’s literally putting all these things at a teacher’s fingertips. And that same free tool teachers can use in the classroom, the student can go home and still use,” Ward said. “That’s the best part about this, in my personal opinion, is that students can take this home and can extend that learning to show their family what they’re doing and hopefully that will spark a little bit more learning.” The company is hoping teachers check out the site and let TechTol know what they think. “What are some things you’d like to see on here or what things would be useful?” said Ward, who graduated from Perrysburg High School. “We’re encouraging that feedback so we can make this product better for everybody.” Ward and TechTol CEO Phil Cox recently hired three employees to help with the workload. In the future, the company, which is seeking corporate sponsors, plans to offer a platform for smartphones and

iPads as well as interactive lessons. This fall, TechTol Imaging will be awarded the Entrepreneurial & Business Excellence Hall of Fame’s Startup Innovation Award. “We’ve got so much more stuff to put up,” Ward said. “We didn’t know what direction we were going to take at first. We didn’t know how it would be received. But people

were like, ‘Wow, I wish I had had this is college.’ Reactions like that have given us encouragement to make it the way it is today. We hope we can make it even better as we incorporate a lot of the great ideas we get into the site. We are literally building this for the people.” For more information, visit www.3DTOAD.com. O

Retail trends include healthier snacks, electronics By Brigitta Burks

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer news@toledofreepress.com

Back-to-school shopping symbolizes the end of summer vacation, but it also means kids can count on stores offering the latest trends from healthy snacks to stylish jeans. U.S. consumers are expected to spend $39 billion on back-toschool shopping this year, up from $37.9 billion in 2010, according to the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC). This translates to more foot traffic at local stores. “I noticed we have very early guest traffic,” said Katja Classic, an assistant manager at Target, 817 W. Alexis Road. She added that customers have been shopping for basics like scissors, pens and glue, “very, very hard.” Target spokeswoman Kristy Welker recommended using these basics to show some flair. “Backpacks and stationery are the best ways to show off a little personality this school year,” she said in email, citing backpacks, messenger bags and lunchboxes in bright colors or animal prints. Not so basic items like Smartphones and laptops also are selling well this season, said David Peterson, Meijer spokesperson. “I’ve noticed an uptick in that.” Electronic sales are estimated

to account for $5.5 billion of backto-school sales, up from $5.4 billion from last year, according to the ICSC. From 2009 to 2010, backto-school electronic sales jumped 19.2 percent. Customers are also for searching for clothing essentials at stores like Target and The Andersons. Backto-school clothing projections are at $21.7 billion from $20.9 in 2010, according to the ICSC. Many shoppers are purchasing school uniforms and “durable types of items” from brands like Dickies, said John Hoover, director of marketing for The Andersons. Fashion items also prevail this season. Peterson and Laura Good, a sales manager at the Westfield Franklin Park Mall Dillard’s, both said they noticed lots of jeans with heavy embellishments or stitching on the pockets. Flared jeans also made a comeback, although Good noted, “You’ll still have skinnies.” Allover denim is trendy at Kohl’s this season. “Denim is breaking out of its ‘bottoms-only’ role, with headto-toe denim as the must-try trend for back-to-school,” said David Hacker, vice president of trend and color for Kohl’s, in a press release. Hacker also recommended playing with proportions this fall by pairing long skirts with “skimmer tees” or shorter tops. “Back-toschool fashion plays with layers,

length and volume to create a new silhouette,” he said in the release. Good said looser tops that create a boxy silhouette are in this season. Dillard’s also presents teenage girls with a selection of shirts and blouses with ethnic prints, ruffles and lace, Good said, while colored denim is popular for teenage boys. Fashion boots that girls can tuck skinny jeans into will be another fall staple for Meijer and Dillard’s. The Council expects back-to-school shoes to make $7.1 billion, compared to $6.9 billion last year, according to its projections. Popular shoes include UGG Sparkles and “Sperry Topsiders are just booming,” Good said. Local team sports apparel is also fashionable, Peterson said. Trends for the younger siblings of teens include items featuring superheroes like Green Lantern or Captain America. Shirts with “Angry Birds,” the popular game for iPhones, are also very popular among boys, Peterson said. Another character, “Hello Kitty,” is in style this season. Target has a large selection of items such as lunchboxes, purses and pencils with the Japanese cat on them this year, Classic said. “It’s very exciting to our clientele,” she added. “Hello Kitty” also makes appearances on graphic tees and notebooks

at Walmart, according to a July 19 press release. In addition, Walmart stocks “Super Mario Brothers” notebooks and folders, along with items featuring characters from the Nickelodeon show, “Victorious.” Snacks for lunch and after school also line the shelves of local stores. Stores like Meijer offer programs such as NuVal, a nutritional scoring system on food items, to make buying healthy foods easier, Peterson said. “We look at ourselves [as parents] and say, ‘What would help us?’” he said. “We’re really pushing easy meals for healthy kids.” This includes handing out recipe cards at stores and demonstrating recipes for snacks like vanilla-berry smoothies.

Meijer will also have a “healthy living adviser” on its Facebook page every Thursday from 10-11 a.m. in August and September. “I don’t see how it (healthy snacking) can’t be a trend,” said Elizabeth M. Ward, author and nutrition consultant for Sargento. “We need to teach them (children) that snacking is healthy,” she said. One of Sargento’s newer products is the Fridge Pack, a cheese snack designed to stand up in the refrigerator because kids are more inclined to eat better “if something healthy is visible,” Ward said. Snacks with protein like the Fridge Pack, which comes in light string cheese, mild cheddar and Colby jack, keep children fuller longer, Ward said, adding, “My kids really like them for that.” O

Sylvania native made mark at Amherst Sylvania native Saumitra Thakur wants to lead college graduates using the College-100, a group of student leaders dedicated to networking and fostering new ideas and initiatives. Thakur had plenty of experience leading his peers at Amherst College in Massachusetts. He served as student government vice president his sophomore and junior years and was elected president his senior year. As president, Thakur joined a delegation of student government presidents from schools such as Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Stanford University on a trip to the Kremlin, visiting some of Russia’s top state officials. Thakur was also heavily involved in debate, both at Sylvania Southview High School and at Amherst. “I loved Southview,” Thakur said. “I found amazing friends, lifelong friends. The speech and debate coaches and the science research coach really went above and beyond for working with me and giving me just a great experience. When I went to Amherst … I held my own and I was able to do it, and I think it’s because I just got such a good education from Southview.” He attended an international debate tournament in Thailand his freshman year and the national debate tournament his sophomore year. A neuroscience major in the top 5 percent of his senior class, Thakur was elected for membership in Phi Beta Kappa, the nation’s oldest academic honorary. “It was great,” he said. “I was very flattered to have it.” O — Patrick Timmis

Home-schooler on pace for bachelor’s at age 19 By Sarah Ottney TOLEDO FREE PRESS SPECIAL SECTIONS EDITOR sottney@toledofreepress.com

Although it’s rare to find a college graduate reporting to a high school class, it happened this spring at Bowling Green High School. A few days after Bodie Bankey walked across the stage at Owens Community College to accept his associate’s degree, the home-schooler was back in the BANKEY halls of Bowling Green High School, where he was taking one class. Since finishing his high school graduation requirements more than a year ago, the 18-year-old replaced lessons at home with postsecondary classes at Owens Community College, while continuing to take a class or two per semester at the high school. After completing the coursework for his associate’s degree in criminal justice technology in December, Bankey continued taking classes at Owens toward a bachelor’s degree. Then, through a partnership between Owens and Ohio University, he was accepted as a junior at OU and began taking online classes there. Now, the teen is on pace to graduate with a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice by next spring. He will be 19. Bankey said he enjoyed homeschooling because he could work at his own pace. “If something is easy, you don’t have to spend 50 minutes on it; I could fly through it. But if I needed more time, I could take it,” he said. Bodie’s father, Michael Bankey, who is vice president of Workforce and Community Services at Owens, said home-schooling allowed the flexibility to bring Bodie along on business trips. “We could pack up the textbooks when I went on the road and go to another city,” Michael said. “He would do homework with my wife while I was at work and at night we could wander the cities. We got to see a lot of things while he was younger. It was just the right timing in our lives. It worked well for us.” Michael said Bodie was always a good student and consistently worked ahead in his curriculum. “From being the only child and spending a lot of time around adults,

we knew he was always mature for his age,” Michael said. “We assumed he would go to college and he wanted to.” Despite his accelerated academic time line, Bodie said he had many of the same experiences as any typical

high school student, including playing football and attending prom. “I wouldn’t say I missed out on anything,” Bodie said. “You’ve got to go through school so you might as well get it done when you’re younger.

It’s been a good experience.” Michael said he and his wife, Tammy, are proud of their son. “He’s really done a great job,” Michael said. “He’s just a great kid. He’s made us proud.” O

UT parking goes electronic The University of Toledo is adapting its parking system to the electronic age, implementing an electronic scanning system for recognizing parking permits. The new system, which launched in July, will recognize license plates, eliminating the need for printed permits. The technology can scan up to 90 license plates per minute and replaces the paper permits hung from the rearview mirrors of students’ cars. Registered cars must be parked with their rear license plates facing outward so the plates can be scanned. The scan will check for registration and authorization to be parked in that lot or garage. Faculty, staff and students can register their cars online under their myUT accounts and choose whether they want to pay by credit card or a charge to their bursar bill. All students and employees can have one registered vehicle on campus at any time. The cost for students remains $125 per semester. Guest passes are $3 a day. The new technology should be running smoothly by the start of classes this fall, according to a news release from the university. “This new technology will simplify the parking permit system for everyone on campus,” said Joy Gramling, director of auxiliary services, in the release. “Those who park on campus can simply register their car online, and the technology, which can read more than 90 license plates per minute and validate parking compliance, makes the parking enforcement system much more efficient.” University of Toledo student Jake Valerio said he will appreciate not having to worry about a permit. “I forgot my parking permit a few times and had to worry about getting a ticket, but if it’s electronic I won’t have to worry about having something physical,” Valerio said. UT student Diane Woodring agreed the electronic system will be convenient, but said she would have liked to see UT increase the number of parking spaces instead. “It’s great that they are implementing a new system to make everything quicker with scanning cars, but I think that the money should be put more toward expanding parking lots and increasing parking spaces instead,” Woodring said. “The cost doesn’t really bother me. I just wish they would increase spaces. I’m a little hesitant about the new technology but I think it’s great that they’re trying to improve things.” For more information, visit www. utoledo.edu/parkingservices. O — Blair Bohland

Local IT exec named to list of top 250 industry leaders By Duane Ramsey TOLEDO FREE PRESS SENIOR BUSINESS WRITER dramsey@toledofreepress.com

Matthew Adkins, president of Vanguard Technologies in Toledo, was named to the MSPmentor 250 list of Top IT Managed Services Executives in 2011. “I was shocked. To see my name up there with the biggest names in the industry is indescribable. These folks are the giants, the greats ADKINS and the best of the best. I truly thank my peers who have honored my small part in helping the IT provider community,” Adkins said about being included on the MSPmentor 250 list, released Aug. 1. “The names on this list show that cooperation and sharing among providers and executives really benefits IT managed service providers and our clients,” he said. “It also helps to show that Toledo, Ohio, is still a city on the map.” Adkins said a colleague in Washington, D.C., called to tell him that he was included in the first group from the list announced. He was nominated for the honor by Legal Platforms of Canada, a vendor of Vanguard Technologies. The MSPmentor 250 list is compiled annually by the editorial staff of MSPmentor, a publication for IT service providers produced by Nine Lives Media. The 250 list was released alphabetically in five groups of 50 members from Aug. 1-5. “The list is designed to help you build a Rolodex of managed services experts, entrepreneurs and executives. We asked our readers to identify the top managed services experts across sales, marketing, technology, community building, coaching, ex-

ecutive leadership and more,” Joe Panettieri, editorial director of Nine Lives Media, stated in the announcement of the list. “Matt Adkins is well-known within the Level Platforms community as an executive who shares scripts and best practices. He is a key member of the Level Platforms Partner Council,” reads the description of Adkins for the MSPmentor 250 list on the publication’s website. Adkins was born in Flint, grew up in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and lived in many places. He arrived in Toledo in 1999 and considers it his home. He worked in IT at HCR Manorcare until he lost that job when he said the company outsourced its IT department. Adkins said he started collecting unemployed IT people from Toledo and did contract work for Bank One (now J.P. Morgan Chase) and other clients in Ohio, Michigan and several other states. That work became the foundation for the company, Vanguard Technologies, which he founded in 2003 with several partners. The partners left the business under various circumstances that included the recession, Adkins said. Paul Weirich is a support engineer who provides on-site and remote help desk service to Vanguard’s desktop and mobile users. He repairs hardware from laptops to computer boards in large-screen televisions. The company’s typical client is a small-to-medium-size business with five to 50 workstations. They may have some IT staff or be too small to hire those resources full-time, according to Adkins. Their business extends in a 45mile radius from Toledo, north to Adrian and Monroe, east to Sandusky and south to Bowling Green and Findlay. At presstime, Toledo Free Press was unable to determine if any other Northwest Ohioans were listed on the MSPmentor 250 list. O

COLLEGE BASKETBALL

Rockets soar into new season with flight to Israel By Mike Bauman

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer mbauman@toledofreepress.com

Three years ago, guards Courtney Ingersoll and Naama Shafir helped usher in a new era of Toledo women’s basketball when they arrived as part of Rockets’ head coach Tricia Cullop’s first recruiting class. Three years later, Ingersoll will begin her senior season at Toledo with a trip to her former roommate’s homeland. On Aug. 7, the Rockets will depart for 10 days in Shafir’s native Israel, participating in two exhibition games and sightseeing in areas such as Tel Aviv, Bethlehem and Jerusalem before returning to the states on Aug. 18. “I roomed with [Naama] my freshman year in the dorms,” Ingersoll said. “[Since then] she’s lived in her house and I live in an apartment, but we’ve spent so much time together it’s pretty much like we’re rooming together.” The pair has spent a lot of time together on the court, as well. Since coming to Toledo in 2008, Ingersoll

and Shafir have helped the Rockets go a combined 72-30, including a 29-8 record in 2010-11 as Toledo captured the WNIT Championship. “It feels good to have that behind us and the WNIT leading into this,” Ingersoll said. “I guess the only other way it would have been better is if [we’d] gone to the NCAA TourCULLOP nament and then go to this trip, but it’s good.” This trip will not be the first Cullop has made overseas with her team because of an international player. “I had a chance at the University of Evansville to go to Japan for 10 days with a player that was from Japan as well, and it was such a special experience that it really rang true today that we wanted to bring Naama back home and have our players have a chance to have that same learning experience that

my team at Evansville had,” Cullop said. “I couldn’t be more proud of the community and more humbled by the response that we got to help us with this trip financially.” No university money is being utilized for the trip to Israel. The Rockets paid for it in full through fundraising efSHAFIR forts by the team in the past two years, raising more than $120,000. Including the women’s basketball team, 27 UT staff members will make the trip to Israel, while others interested in going had to pay $4,000. “It’s amazing,” junior center and Toledo native Yolanda Richardson said. “Especially going into school saying that we had just came back from Israel, it’s going to be like one of the highlights of my summer … actually, of my year … actually, of

my life!” One of nine children, Shafir is from Hoshaya, a small town of approximately 350 families in the Northern District of Israel. The 21-year-old senior was back overseas this summer competing for the Israeli national women’s basketball team. “She goes home and plays for her national team every summer,” Cullop said. “This summer, she played for the highest level team. She was three years younger than anybody else on the team, so it was a great experience for her. She didn’t get as much playing time, but she will as she gets older.” Welcoming five newcomers to the 2011-12 Rockets — junior center Kyle Baumgartner (Akron), sophomore forward and Central Catholic graduate Brianna Jones (Illinois), freshman guard/forward Ana Capotosto, freshman forward Taylor Carver and freshman guard Stephanie Recker — Cullop said she hopes the trip to Israel will serve as a bonding experience for

this season’s squad. “I’m so proud of what we did last season, but that was last year, and it’s a great chance for us to start the new chapter and really kind of identify what this team’s identity is,” Cullop said. “We’ve got five new players — two that sat out from transferring and three freshmen — and I’m very excited about them, but I’m also thrilled that we have a great mentoring opportunity with our two seniors going to get a chance to really help me kind of help them along the path, not make some of the same mistakes that they made and really kind of help us gel as a team.” Neither Ingersoll nor Richardson has been out of the country before, and both are looking forward to seeing Shafir and religious sites like Bethlehem and Jerusalem. “I think actually there’s only like two people that have been out of the country, Naama being one of them,” Ingersoll said. “So it’s going to be a good experience for everyone.” O

FIRST REPORTED AT TOLEDOFREEPRESS.com

Browns sign former UT linebacker Archie Donald By Jason Mack

Toledo Free Press Web Editor jmack@toledofreepress.com

Former UT linebacker Archie Donald signed with the Cleveland Browns on Aug. 2 as an undrafted free agent. “I’m really excited,” Donald said. “They are a great team and a great program. They aren’t too far from home DONALD and not too far from the University of Toledo. I’m blessed to be here.” Growing up in Penn Hills, Penn., Donald has plenty of Pittsburgh Steelers fans in the family. However,

they are willing to look past their hatred of the Browns for his sake. “They are excited and looking forward to watch me play,” Donald said. “They are happy for me.” Donald is the second former UT player to join the Browns after offensive lineman John Greco was traded from the St. Louis Rams on July 30 for a conditional seventh-round draft pick. Greco was one of the first people to call and congratulate Donald. “Greco is a great player,” Donald said. “When he was here, he was a great friend of mine. I’ve been talking to him throughout the years. He’s always been a great friend. Reuniting with him is big. I’m grateful to have him by my side once again.” UT head coach Tim Beckman helped Donald get signed. He put in a good word with Cleveland line-

backers coach Bill Davis and general manager Tom Heckert, both childhood friends of Beckman from the days when their fathers coached together at Adrian College. “It’s a great opportunity for him to be on the Browns now,” Beckman said. “He will be coached by a great linebackers coach.” “This signing wouldn’t be happening if it wasn’t for Tim’s recommendation,” Davis said. “We have five undrafted rookie linebackers and we have spots for two. We looked at as many guys as we can. Tim Beckman has highly recommended Archie to me and Tom Heckert. We’ll see if he’s got what it takes. We have a history with Tim. He knows what he’s talking about. We checked Archie out and agreed with Tim that he has a shot to make a roster spot.”

“Coach Beckman did all he could to try to help me out,” Donald said. “He contacted those guys and got feedback, and we got it done.” Like all undrafted rookies in this offseason shortened by the NFL lockout, Donald faces an uphill battle to make the active roster for the regular season. Donald has good examples in former UT players Barry Church and Stephen Williams who made the active rosters last season for the Dallas Cowboys and Arizona Cardinals, respectively. “I’m just going to go in there and give it 150 percent,” Donald said. “I’m going to do all I can to help the team get a Super Bowl.” The Browns are transitioning from a 3-4 defense to a 4-3 defense, and Donald isn’t sure yet where he fits into that new scheme.

By Duane Ramsey

TOLEDO FREE PRESS SENIOR BUSINESS WRITER dramsey@toledofreepress.com

Ricky Stenhouse Jr., 2010 NASCAR Nationwide Series Rookie of the Year, helped the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) to launch the dDistracted driver simulator at the 2011 Ohio State Fair in Columbus. ODOT, in sponsorship with Nationwide Insurance, introduced its distracted driver simulator at the state fair to combat cellphone use, texting and other distractions while driving. Stenhouse Jr., who drives the No. 6 Blackwell Angus Beef/Cargill Ford for Roush-Fenway Racing, is demonstrating the simulator through the length of the fair. “Distracted driving is dangerous and has grave consequences,” ODOT Director Jerry Wray stated in a news release. Cellphone use and sending text messages while driving is very risky and the new simulator demonstrates the real dangers and consequences of distracted driving, Wray said. In 2010, law enforcement agen-

cies reported 39 fatalities, 454 serious injuries and 12,410 accidents that were attributed specifically to distracted driving situations, according to ODOT. The distracted driver simulator experience challenges the participant to navigate city streets and highways while talking on the phone, sending a text message and listening to passenger conversations. The simulator is located at the ODOT booth in the Marketplace Building at the state fair. It is available for demonstrations during fair hours from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. ODOT officials expect about 1,500 people to try the distracted driver simulator through Aug. 7. There was a constant line of people waiting to use the simulatlor every day, according to Melissa Ayers, deputy director of communications at ODOT. Ayers said ODOT plans to take the distracted driver simulator on tour to schools and other events. There are no scheduled stops for the simulator in Northwest Ohio but any interested parties should contact ODOT at www. everymove.ohio.gov.

ODOT is having Stenhouse Jr. share his driving expertise as the voice of roadway safety public service radio announcements as part of its 2011 safety campaign. “Every time you take your eyes off the road, even for just a few seconds, you put your life in danger and you put others in danger too,” Stenhouse said in the radio spot. The distracted driver simulator tour is part of ODOT’s comprehensive roadway safety campaign, “Every Move You Make, Keep It Safe.” The campaign aims to educate Ohioans on how to use the roads safely, whether behind the wheel, handlebars or on foot. The new safety campaign is linked to Ohio’s overall goal of reducing roadway fatalities by 5 percent by 2015. With nearly 300,000 crashes and more than 1,000 deaths across Ohio in 2010, meeting that goal would help save 150 lives. Auto accidents cost nearly $13 billion a year in Ohio. About 40 percent of all fatalities involve motorists who hit fixed objects, such as trees or poles, and 38 percent of all serious injuries occur at intersections.

“Each year, distracted driving accidents account for millions of dollars in damages and countless number of lives,” Melissa Lovely, associate vice president of Nationwide in Ohio, stated in the news release.

“Nationwide wants drivers to understand that every time they talk or text behind the wheel, they are making a choice that could have devastating and irreversible consequences,” she said. O

Celebrated singersongwriter to play in Ann Arbor By Vicki L. Kroll

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer vkroll@toledofreepress.com

If you’re lucky enough to have a ticket to Nanci Griffith’s sold-out Aug. 13 show at The Ark in Ann Arbor, don’t be shy. “I really enjoy the people at my concerts. They’re always engaged. They talk back to me; I love that,” she said and laughed. “Sometimes they scream at me, and I love that.” No doubt fans are shouting requests, hoping to hear favorites from Griffith’s storied career: “Spin on a Red Brick Floor,” “This Heart,” “Love Conquers All,” “Clock Without Hands,” “Beautiful.” The singer said she’s working on a disc and may play a new song or two. “‘Hell No, I’m Not Alright’ is one of them,” Griffith said and laughed again. “People ask you if you’re all right and they know you’re not, that’s what it’s about. And the audience has their participation, clapping in there, making it work. It’s fun.” She has been singing — and writing — since she was 6 years old. “I write about things that I read and try to interpret, and I think they’re important things, like ‘The Loving’ from ‘The Loving Kind.’ I think that’s important to American history,” the guitarist said. Inspired by an obituary in the newspaper, Griffith wrote about Mildred and Richard Loving, a mixedrace couple who were put in jail when they married in 1958. Their case reached the U.S. Supreme Court, which struck down state laws against interracial marriage. “I write about things that are important to me,” Griffith said during a call from her Nashville home. Listen to “Not Innocent Enough,” another track from “The Loving Kind,” the songwriter’s 19th disc released in 2009. The song tells the story of Philip Workman, who was convicted of murdering a policeman and executed despite questionable evidence. “I’m an opponent of the death penalty, and I think America has grown enough that we need to be grown-ups about it and stop trying to take peo-

I don’t think folk music will ever change. I think it’s writing about the social climate that you live in.” — Nanci Griffith

ple’s lives,” she said. “But at the same time, I write about things that I think were wrong in my country, and that’s about all I can do.” While the folk legend has a reputation for addressing political and social issues, she’s also known for her introspective music. “Everything’s about me as a writer, so within any context of any song, there’s something of me,” she said. “Sing,” another song from “The Loving Kind,” seems autobiographical: “Music is the life in me, it’s the melody I breathe/ It gives me strength in harder times and reason to believe…/ And in the end I wouldn’t change a thing, I’d sing.” The breast and thyroid cancer survivor has penned country hits for other artists: “Love at the Five and Dime” for Kathy Mattea, “Outbound Plane” for Suzy Boggus, “Gulf Coast Highway” for Willie Nelson and Emmylou Harris. And she won a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Album for her 1993 disc, “Other Voices, Other Rooms.” Last year the Texas native received a Lifetime Achievement Award at BBC Radio 2’s Folk Awards. “I don’t think folk music will ever change. I think it’s writing about the social climate that you live in, and if you live within it, then it’s important,” Griffith said. “And whether it’s important 10 years from now or 20 years from now, I don’t know. But Pete Seeger still remains relevant within our lifetime, and he’s 92.” O C
