AN AIR FORCE contract that has meant hundreds
of jobs in Licking County is expiring next year. Officials
are starting early to make the case for renewal.
BY JEFF BELL | BUSINESS FIRST
There is a sense of deja vu at the Central
Ohio Aerospace & Technology Center in
Heath as a key military contract comes
up for renewal for Boeing Co., the main
tenant at the former Newark Air Force
Base site.
It was 20 years ago when the Air Force

hopes it could find private contractors
interested in continuing its workloads there. The facility maintained and repaired missile guidance systems
and aircraft navigation equipment, and was also the Air
Force’s metrology center, making precise measurements
for military equipment.
It was the first time the Air Force had proposed “privatization in place” for one of its installations.

Closing the skills gap is job No. 1

Americans’ unwillingness to
enter blue-collar careers in
numbers sufficient to make up
for the departures. Decades of
emphasis on college degrees
over skilled apprenticeships can
be blamed for that.

If it comes, who will build it?
With many predicting a renaissance in U.S. manufacturing
as companies move production back to domestic shores
and the government pushes to
double American exports, there
remains a significant catch in
the plan – the nation’s production work force is shrinking.
Why the shortfall? The
reasons are mainly the retirement of the current generation
of factory workers and young

Jordan Miller Jr. knows students of Columbus City
Schools can succeed. The graduate of the long-closed
Milo-Grogan Elementary and Central High schools is
CEO of Fifth Third Bank in Central Ohio.
After its 1960s bisection by Interstate 71, Milo-Grogan
just north of downtown spiraled into one of the city’s
most distressed neighborhoods. Even so, Jordan

members of Mayor Michael Coleman’s Columbus
Education Commission –

his successor could live in
Milo-Grogan or any lowincome neighborhood.

THE BASEBALL CLUB has pumped $2
million into Great American Ball Park, hoping
to get fans to spend more on food, beer and
T-shirts in a season with high expectations.
BY STEVE WATKINS | FOR BUSINESS FIRST
Fans’ eyes will be on the field at Great
American Ball Park as the Cincinnati
Reds enter 2013 with higher hopes than at
any time in decades.
But from a glance around the stadium,
it is clear the team has been working
hard off the field. While the owners
can’t control the team’s play on the field,
they’re taking no chances off it. The Reds
have spent $2 million on Great American
Ball Park this offseason to boost revenue
and appeal to a broader segment of fans,
including those who travel south along
Interstate 71 to take in games.
The team has given its Machine Room
restaurant in the stadium a face lift, upgraded half of its suites, renovated its gift
shop and built a plaza for concerts and
events.

Verizon Wireless is abandoning its office campus in Dublin.
Hilliard offices returning to peak
Verizon Wireless’ move of its Dublin call center
and administrative operations to 5000 Britton
Parkway in Hillliard, a building operated by
another Verizon division, will boost the campus’
employment above its peak from 13 years ago.
The former CompuServe Network Division
opened the building in 1997 with 1,049 workers.
Employment there topped out at 1,600 in 2000
after the operations’ sale two years earlier to
WorldCom, said David Meeks, Hilliard’s economic development director. That total may not
include technology contract workers, he said.
Verizon has employed roughly 400 workers in
Hilliard.
The wireless affiliate plans to bring 1,500 jobs
from twin office buildings on Emerald Parkway,
beginning in 2014, and perhaps 500 more jobs
over the next few years. Verizon Wireless in 2008
pledged to relocate 300 jobs from outside Ohio
to Hilliard and move 200 jobs from Dublin to the
Britton campus, which would have spelled construction of an 80,000-square-foot building.
Those plans fell through amid the global financial crisis.
“If we can’t get a new office building,” Meeks
said, “we’ll just fill what we have and get more
employees and payroll per square foot.”

Cutler cutting in
NEWS TICKER
Canton firm hires many from Metrix
A
winding down of the Prudential Metrix
residential brokerage over the last six
weeks has opened the door for Cantonbased Cutler Real Estate to jump into
Central Ohio.
Cutler has grown to 45 agents in five Franklin
County offices. All but a handful were among the
51 agents who scrambled for a place to work after
Prudential Metrix disclosed it would shutter its
operations within months.
The family-owned Cutler brokerage had been
looking at Columbus but hesitated to leap in.
“The timing wasn’t right because we didn’t
have the right local leadership,” said Andy Camp,
Cutler general manager.
“When we learned (Prudential Metrix) decided to wind
down, we were able to take
advantage of that.”
Central Ohio housing brokerage veterans Patrick Grabill and George Smith
formed Prudential Metrix in 2010, building it to
sales of $110 million in 2012.
Grabill said he encouraged Cutler executives to
recruit Metrix agents.
“I wanted to make sure my agents had a chance
to get hired,” he said.
Cutler has taken over Metrix offices in Upper
Arlington, Dublin, New Albany and Grove City.
Short North specialists James
Meyer and Stephen Dial were the
most recent agents to join Cutler.
They will continue to operate from
their Short North office.
Meyer said the duo considered
the Keller Williams, Re/Max and
Howard Hanna networks as well
as HER Realtors, where they
James Meyer
started their careers before joining Metrix in 2011. And they had
doubts about Cutler Real Estate,
which isn’t part of a national marketing platform.
But Meyer said Cutler offers
a strong technology platform,
marketing program and corporate
culture. It also has an affiliation
Stephen Dial
with Leading Real Estate Companies of the World, a relocation network.
“They have the tools we need to sell homes,” he
said.
Cutler recruited Doug Green from Metrix as
branch manager in Upper Arlington, New Albany,
Dublin and the Short North. Art Travis and Linda
Altomare will manage the Grove City office.
Jean Ann Conley and her Conley & Partners
will share the Dublin office with John Francis and
Associates’ marketing team.

Supplier to suppliers grows
FIRST LOOK
Hokuto moves into new, expanded plant in Grove City
H
okuto USA Inc. is in the
business of making the
things that make things,
and it’s making itself
more comfortable in
Central Ohio.
The Japanese manufacturer
and auto industry supplier has a
new U.S. home at 2200 Southwest
Blvd. in Grove City and has grown
to more than 30 employees since
arriving in 2010.
Vice President Masanao Yamauchi said the company expects to
employ more than 50 workers in
the next three years and double its
revenue in that time. He declined
to disclose annual sales, but said
profit has grown 30 percent to 40
percent in each of the last four
years.
Hokuto makes machinery and
fixtures for auto manufacturers
– jigs, clamps, robots, assembly
lines, automated systems. It’s in
a Great Lakes region loaded with
car makers and for good reason.
The company made a gradual
move into Central Ohio. It opened
a sales office in Canada in 2001.
An engineering outpost opened
in Michigan six years later, and
manufacturing began in 2010
after all North American operations were unified in Central Ohio.
Hokuto relocated from a facility
off Roberts Road in Columbus to
Grove City late last year.
“We’re trying to do 100 percent
here,” Yamauchi said of production work.
Despite the Japanese roots, it
was a relationship with U.S. automaker General Motors Co. that
brought the company to North
America.
“It was just a support operation
initially,” Manufacturing Manager
Shawn Hess said. “(Founder and

and Yamauchi saw the need to
work faster.”
Honda of America Manufacturing Inc., based in Marysville,
became a customer and was
the reason Hokuto relocated to
Central Ohio. Toyota Motor Corp.,
Nissan Motor Co., Tesla Motors
Inc. and Honda supplier KTH
Parts Industries Inc. are other key
customers.
Finding a place in the Columbus area put the company in a
spot central to customers in Ohio,
Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky and
Tennessee.
The operation relocated from
20,000 square feet to almost 60,000
square feet – a space the business
expects to grow into, Hess said.
“One of the biggest benefits is
with material handling,” he said.
“We don’t have to move things
around as much. We don’t have to
handle products multiple times to
create work space.”
There also is growth potential
with existing customers and
new business. Yamauchi said
few competitors are in the niche
Hokuto fills and the industry has
shrunk in the past five years, a
consequence of the economic
downturn.

that in the current building.” The 2,300-square-foot

now for a late March opening. Perez said the menu

all with a South American

Whole Foods Market Inc. opened its new
Upper Arlington store
at the Shops on Lane

and required the grocer
to spend that period in a

center. The store brings the
full Whole Foods experience back to customers
including in-store butchering and an expansive
prepared food operation.
Both of those functions
were handled in Dublin
during construction. Every
department has more
space than in the previous
22,000-square-foot space
that was a Wild Oats Market until 2007. The store
also has a separate coffee
bar and pub, dubbed the
Social, which seats 42 inside and 40 outside. There’s
another 92-seat cafe area
for in-store dining.
OHIO STATE’S WEXNER MEDICAL CENTER
CENTRAL OHIO’S BEST ADULT HOSPITAL
UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL
ized
Stephen Thung, MD, MSCI, is a nationally recognized maternal fetal medicine specialist whose
research at Ohio State has provided leading-edge care to women with high-risk pregnancies.
Like Dr. Thung, THE WORLD’S BEST AND BRIGHTEST PHYSICIANS AND RESEARCHERS
ARE COMING TO OHIO STATE to create the future of medicine.
What attracted me to Ohio State? Ohio State is the birthplace of some of the latest advancements in
obstetrical care, and Ohio State is one of the country’s most influential thought leaders in the care of both
the healthy and the sick. When it comes to high-risk pregnancy, my colleagues at The Ohio State University
Wexner Medical Center are revolutionizing the quality of care in this field.
How am I advancing personalized health care at Ohio State? Every single pregnancy is
different. Our maternal fetal medicine team applies a tailored approach that focuses on the
health of each mother and her baby. We offer individualized counseling to women on nutrition
or breastfeeding, and handle some of the most medically and obstetrically
complicated pregnancies in the state of Ohio.
But for Ohio State...I would not have the opportunity to lead central
Ohio’s premier obstetrical service to even greater eminence. This
is a place where we bring the safest family-centered obstetrical
care to healthy mothers. In my mind, there is no better place to
practice obstetrics, or to have a baby.
Over the next decade, OHIO STATE PLANS TO ATTRACT 500 WORLDCLASS FACULTY LEADERS WHO WILL PROPEL DISCOVERY in
the fields of health and wellness, energy and environment and food
production and security. Through this effort, Ohio State will truly
lead the way in finding solutions to the technological, social and
environmental stresses faced by our community and our world.

BATTELLE is part of a new joint venture aimed
at easing a potential fracking water shortage for
oil and natural gas companies developing the Utica and Marcellus shale plays in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Winner Water Services Inc. is seeking
bids to build its first facility to purify acid-mine
wastewater for use in oil and gas drilling operations through a joint venture formed in January
by Battelle and
Winner Global
LLC, a company
in Sharon, Pa.
The system removes iron and sulfate from water in coal mines,
and the purified water can be trucked or transported via pipelines to drilling sites. A company
official said the first unit will be located at a site
still to be selected based on oil and gas drilling
activity in eastern Ohio or southwestern and
northeastern Pennsylvania. It could be operating
by this fall. Winner Water hopes to build seven
units over the next three years at an estimated
cost of $750,000 to $1.5 million a piece.

COURTESY AMP
AMP is making progress on its Cannelton hydroelectric power station on the Ohio River.
Hydro power spigot turning
AMP has six plants in development as it diversifies its portfolio
T
he unloading of a
10-foot-tall, 150ton electric generating component
at a construction
site along the Ohio River
served as a sizable symbol
of American Municipal
Power Inc.’s commitment
to hydroelectric power.
The stator is a key cog
in the $416 million Cannelton Hydroelectic Plant
near Hawesville, Ky., that’s
scheduled for completion
in fall 2014.
The power station is
one of four “run-of-theriver” plants being built by
Columbus-based AMP at
dams along the Ohio River
at combined cost of about
$1.6 billion. When the final
one goes online in summer 2015, hydro power will
account for 16 percent of
AMP’s electricity mix and
provide a clean energy
source for the municipal
electric systems it serves,
said CEO Marc Gerken.
“These generation facilities will have a life expectancy of 80 to 100 years,”
he said, “and will be producing clean, renewable
and sustainable power for
generations to come.”
Gerken said hydro power, plus renewables such
as wind, solar and landfill
gas, will add up to 20 percent of AMP’s electricity
mix by 2015. Natural gas

AMP CEO Marc Gerken wants

will be the largest source
at 35 percent, followed by
coal at 23 percent. The rest
will come from what the
nonprofit wholesale power
supplier buys on the open
market for its members,
which total 130 municipal
systems in seven states,
including Ohio.
Though solid, long-term
investments, hydroelectric plants are costly and
time-consuming to build,
Gerken said. Ground was
broken on the Cannelton
station in August 2009 and
construction on the ones
next to dams near Willow Grove, Ky., Smithland,
Ky., and St. Mary’s, W.Va.,
began in 2010 and 2011.
Even the cost of power
generated by the hydro
plants will be higher
initially than market rates,
Gerken said, because of
the cost of debt service
to finance their construction and because natural
gas prices have been near
record lows.
“In 10 years, gas may be
higher and hydro may be
lower,” he said, which is
why AMP wants to have
an energy blend in its
portfolio.
The projects are boosting the economy along
the Ohio River, creating manufacturing and
construction jobs tied to
their development. Voith
Hydro Inc. of York, Pa.,
opened a 56-employee
plant in Hannibal to make
more than $420 million of
turbines and generators
for the AMP projects, including the stators for the
Cannelton station. About
400 construction workers
will be on site at the peak
of Cannelton’s building
activity.
AMP has two other runof-the-river plants on the
drawing board. A license
to build the R.C. Byrd
Plant near Gallipolis is
awaiting federal approval.
But AMP has yet to decide
if it wants to proceed with
a plant project on Pike Island near Wheeling, W.Va.,
or find another company
to build it.
“We can only take on so
much construction risk,”
Gerken said.

“For longer-term programs like research and
development there was
a sense of cautiousness,”
Delaney said.
By Sept. 30, Battelle had cut some 300
positions, about 100 of
those in Columbus. Most
were due to not filling
jobs after retirement or
departure. Today about
2,350 of 4,400 current
direct employees are in
Columbus, and Battelle
oversees about 20,000
more workers at the labs.
However, corporations
have not cut research
spending significantly,
Delaney said, and there
are business lines where
federal spending still is
rising, especially security.
Battelle in January won a
$22 million cyber-security contract for 10 months
from the Army and is
competing for other
defense contracts.
“We’re adding key jobs
in strategic areas and
we’re not filling them in
others,” Delaney said.
“You try to move people
around, put them on different contracts.”
One major contract,
a joint venture with
MRIGlobal to run the National Renewable Energy
Laboratory in Colorado,
expires this year. Its revenue, not counted in Battelle’s consolidated total,
is $550 million. Delaney
said the organization has
not heard terms of how
or if the contract will be
rebid.
“We don’t ever look at
one year in isolation,” she
said. “We’re here for the
long term and we have a
unique mission.”

Safe Harbor Medical Plans (after reform!)
With Healthcare Reform here to stay, it is time to build a Safe Harbor Plan.
A Safe Harbor Plan can accomplish the following:
QTake advantage of the newly created variable hour employee classification
QInsure you maintain a private insurance plan (if needed)
QInsure that your costs remain under control
QInsure that you incur no penalties under health care reform
QGive employees maximum choice and cost savings opportunities
The clock is ticking. October 15th, 2012, was the first available date to initiate
a Safe Harbor Plan with a variable hour employee classification and every day that
goes by limits your options.
Sincerely,
ADVISORY BOARD
Tom Wagoner
Call Ohio’s Health Care Reform experts,
Accelerated Benefits and arrange for a
Five Star audit so we can identify what
a Safe Harbor Plan can save you.

Promoting women
LeeAnn Lucas-Helber
Accolades have been rolling in to Central Ohio for
the business and employment environment for women
– in just the past month Forbes named Columbus the
seventh-best city for women entrepreneurs and Working Mother named Cardinal Health Inc. one of the top
50 companies for women executives. Yet the numbers
still haven’t budged the past two years on the shortage
of women in corporate and elective leadership roles,
so I checked in on the progress of the Widen the Circle
initiative to address that shortage, led by the Columbus
Partnership, 42 men and five women who are CEOs and
community representatives.
Personnel officers of the organizations
are preparing their own benchmarking
report and plan to run a session on the
findings at the Partnership’s CEO retreat
in April, said Carole Watkins, Cardinal
Health’s chief human resources officer.
The Dublin-based health-care products
Carole
distributor, whose work force is 46 perWatkins:
cent female, also will share best practices.
Cardinal Health
Among those are a program to train
women in leadership, including requiring
teams to solve a business challenge. A Cardinal initiative to encourage women pharmacists to own their own
stores arose from one of those exercises, Watkins said.
When Widen the Circle began, Cardinal CEO George
Barrett said the company actively identifies and encourages promising employees to seek promotion, because
women tend to undervalue their contributions. The
company is advancing the concept of talent sponsorship,
Watkins said. Where a coach gives you advice, and a
mentor talks through challenges, she said, “A sponsor is
somebody who talks about you and advocates for you.”
OhioHealth Corp. has
hired the CEO of one of its
affiliated hospitals to help
it build deeper collaborations with community
hospitals in southern and
southeast Ohio. LeeAnn
Lucas-Helber, CEO of
Hocking Valley Community Hospital, starts in May
as executive
director
of system
regional development.
“She was at
the top of a
very short
list,” said Larry Thornhill,
OhioHealth vice president
of regional system development. “I elected to make
a change because I wanted
to continue to develop,”
she said. “I want to be part
of the great things we’re
going to see health care
develop into.” As more independent hospitals seek
help, the job required CEO
experience, Thornhill said.
“(CEO Dave Blom) didn’t
want to bring in a salesman,” he said.

The Out of the Closet Thrift Store is expected to open this summer in the Short North.
Out of the Closet store, pharmacy closer to debut
The Out of the Closet Thrift Store to be operated by AIDS Healthcare Foundation, the country’s largest AIDS research and treatment nonprofit, could open
by late summer on High Street at Fifth Avenue, closing one of the last development gaps between the Short North and Ohio State University campus area.
The foundation started construction in January on the $3.1 million store and
last month opened its first STD clinic in the Midwest in an office near Mount
Carmel West hospital in the Hilltop neighborhood.
Final plans call for a 45-foot-tall single-story building, 6 feet taller than original plans. City officials tried to persuade the foundation to partner with office
or residential developers to make it multiple stories, said Daniel Ferdelman,
urban designer in the Planning Division.
But that would have delayed the opening as well as requiring more parking
spots than the site supports, said Adam Ouderkirk, the foundation’s interim
senior director of business development.
In Franklin County, nearly 3,800 people have HIV, a number steadily growing
by about 200 diagnoses a year, according to the Ohio Department of Health.

ServiceNow plays in crowded niche; Dendreon suited for speculative buy
Dear Mr. Berko: Last July
my broker had me buy 700
shares of Dendreon at $7. It
has done nothing. Should
I sell it? Now he wants me
to buy 100 shares of ServiceNow, which he says is an
excellent long-term investment. Could I also have your
opinion on this one? – T.P.,
Wilmington, N.C.
Dear T.P.: ServiceNow Inc. is an IT
management provider with nearly $244
million in annual revenue coming from
a proprietary platform that automates
work flow and integrates business processes. Well, ain’t that sweet. ServiceNow’s
proprietary platform is an enormous
library of cloud apps, providing a process
on nearly everything – incident management, problem management, dress code
management, change management, release management, hygiene management,
configuration management, bad-breath
management, knowledge management,
project management, lumbago management, service management, cost management, portfolio management and turningoff-the-lights-at-night management.
The company has 998 workers, has
a market capitalization of $3.7 billion,
hasn’t made a profit since the Great Flood
and may not earn a dime until the Resurrection.
ServiceNow (Nasdaq:NOW) is an example of Wall Street’s dumpster diving for
nonpublic companies that turn garbage
into nearly edible products for initial
public offerings that can be peddled to
investors. ServiceNow is nothing to write
home about. There’s a swarm of nearly
identical companies with nearly identical
apps, producing nearly identical outcomes, soliciting nearly identical clients.
I don’t see anything unique or compelling
about this company.
ServiceNow’s management, like the
management teams of its brethren, thinks
its platforms of super-apps are unrivaled
and absolute. It may be right. But I’ve
news for this throng of app-loving lads:
Without the ability to produce earnings,
their companies are two pieces of white
bread with a slice of baloney in between.
Calling ServiceNow an “excellent longterm investment” is dishonest, but that’s
how Wall Street generates revenue.
I am a value investor and respect the
time-honored Graham and Dodd principles. ServiceNow is a rank speculation
burning cash like a prairie fire, and there’s
no app in the galaxy that could protect
On stocks
MALCOLM BERKO
you if the stock were to fall to $20.
Meanwhile, Dendreon Corp.
(Nasdaq:DNDN) is one of the many stocks
I watch from afar. Frankly, I don’t know
why, because there is an exponential
increase of new companies with the same
bio-business model competing in the
cellular immunotherapy business for an
arithmetic decline in research dollars.
But every once in awhile, a light will
flicker a little brighter on the horizon
and sometimes, when I look closely,
it’s Dendreon. A little less than every
once in a while, Dendreon makes news
with a carcinoembryonic antigen, a
carbonic anhydrase, or a new small
molecule, and its stock price will spike.
A promising cancer drug that won
U.S. Food and Drug Administration
approval in 2009 triggered a spike to $56 a
share. And smaller spikes have made this
stock an interesting speculation.
Dendreon licenses its novel therapeutics, which last year took in $325 million,
but its profit potential always is affected
by huge research-and-development
expenses plus selling and administra-
tion costs. Dendreon has 1,500-workers,
has been a public company for 12 years,
burns cash like trash, hasn’t made a dime
since before the turn of the century and
has accumulated more than $1.6 billion
of losses.
But if you like to play craps, Dendreon
could be a fun stock on which to roll the
dice. An occasional rumor of a new drug
discovery, a merger or an acquisition by a
pharmaceutical company keeps Dendreon interesting. If you sell your 700 shares,
I can almost guarantee within a month, it
will trade 10 points higher. Keep them.

$10 million.
Founder and CEO James
Staeck got the business going after buying an existing
bag manufacturer in 1986.
Growth has averaged 8.5
percent annually during the
past decade aided in part by
$3 million in capital improvements since 2007.
“Most people come in
here and are shocked by
the number of products we
put out the door,” said Paul
Unrue, Atlapac’s marketing
and sales vice president.
He relayed the story about
a local retailer expressing
surprise at the company’s
capabilities and switching
some of its contracts to
Atlapac.
Before the switch, the retailer was having bags made
in China, shipped to Long
Beach, Calif., and trucked to
Columbus.
“And here we are four
miles away from them,”
Unrue said.
President Stuart Staeck,
who runs the daily operations, said his father started
the business with three bagging machines and a few employees, including the man
from whom the business
was bought and who stayed
on to show the elder Staeck
how to run the machinery.
Atlapac is based in a
warehouse complex on East
Fourth Avenue. The monstrosity of the main structure holds several industrial
businesses and previously
was part of the Ralston Steel
Car Co. complex, which
invented steel gondola rail
cars that made unloading
coal and other minerals
easier. The cars were manufactured from the turn of the
20th century through the
early-1950.
Touring Atlapac’s manufacturing area illustrates advancing technology. In one
section, 400,000 cellophane
bags are churned out by the
machines Staeck’s father acquired plus plenty more the
company has found since.
Beyond that room are newer
machines to make resealable bags and reclosable and
stand-up pouches.
Staeck said the company
has considered moving into
a new location but hasn’t
found suitable space for the
100,000 square feet it needs.

Sick Days Got Business Down? Bring Good Health to Work
Managing healthcare costs remains a major challenge
for employers of all sizes in the United States. As companies look for ways to rein in premiums, they are taking
charge by adopting policy changes and incentive programs to help employees improve health.

embraced these programs, growing more accountable

had waited until the symptoms manifested themselves,
the cancer would have been much further along and I
may not be here to tell my story,” Murphy said.
Why? Poor health costs employers a bundle. It escalates
healthcare premiums. It reduces productivity. It increases
absenteeism.
Associates also have reaped financial rewards: Their
healthcare premiums remained unchanged for five
consecutive years, from 2008 through 2012.
“I just thank my lucky stars that I work for a company
that is concerned about the health and well-being of its
associates and makes preventive care such a priority.”
In 2013, the cost for the average health plan premium per
employee is expected to jump to $11,188—with $2,385 of
that the average employee contribution. The average
healthcare premium rate increase this year for large
employers could rise as much as 6.3 percent.

There is growing recognition among employers

Ridership
rebounding
for COTA
The ups and downs of ridership on Central Ohio’s bus
system have been a function of
external economic influences
as much as developments
inside the transit operation.
Ridership returned to the 18
million range in 2011 and 2012
for the Central Ohio Transit
Authority, putting trip totals
on a level last seen in 2000
for the bus system. That was
before economic downturns
and troubles inside the agency
knocked ridership down 22
percent from 2000 to its 2004
low point of the decade. The
steady climb in ridership since
then reflects changed management that arrived after an
ethics scandal and work to
rebuild credibility with riders
as well as taxpayers – the
later helping COTA expand
its bus fleet and network after
agreeing to a county sales
tax increase seven years ago.
That levy hike made capital
available to the organization
and was seen as validation for
the cleanup made since the
management shift.
Indeed, the transit system’s capacity expansion was
reflected most clearly in 2008
and ’09, when COTA snapped
a four-year streak of annual
ridership, sinking into the 14
million range. At the same
time, the crush of the recession on household budgets
and gasoline prices rising for
commuters conspired to send
more travelers to use COTA
buses, ridership data from the
agency indicates. For example,
annual gas pump prices in
Ohio rose from $1.42 a gallon
in 2003 to $3.67 in the last
week of February 2013, says
the U.S. Energy Information
Administration.
Since the Great Recession
struck, annual ridership on
COTA’s expanding system
has soared nearly 25 percent
between 2007 and last year.
According to a national
look at metro transit systems,
COTA was the nation’s 43rdmost busiest bus system in
2010, the most recent data
available for the city comparisons. That made it smaller
than Cleveland’s system at
25th with 43.2 million riders
and Cincinnati’s with 22.7 million riders, good for 37th in the
nation, says data from the Federal Transit Administration.

Locker is having a blast
with a class of 2-year-olds
and their parents.
With kiddie music playing in the background, the children run around on the indoor
field, scamper after soccer balls
and generally enjoy themselves.
It is the kind of fun-filled experience Locker believes is key to
instilling a love of athletics in
children and keeping them engaged in soccer and other sports
for the long haul.
“It’s a feel-good environment,”
he said. “I like that part of it.”

academy in 2004, also said about
75 percent of children give up

“That is an alarming number,”
Locker said, “but nobody believes it will be their child. When
it happens, they come up with all
kinds of excuses instead of saying, ‘Did I really help create the
best environment for my child?’ ”
He said it is his mission to
change that through the work of
his soccer academy as well as a
book and video series he hopes
to release in June.
The book will help parents
navigate the youth sports scene
in what Locker calls a “rational
and appropriate manner.” The
video series will be for parentcoaches in recreation soccer
leagues, providing them with
training sessions designed to
make the experience enjoyable
for parents and players.

laugh, have fun and come back,”
he said. “I get it. I’ve done it, and
I have evolved so much curriculum on this. I understand what
needs to happen and feel I have
a responsibility to help fix this
problem.”
The book and video series,
plus a plan to license his curriculum to soccer facility owners, are part of Locker’s strategy
to extend the academy’s brand
regionally and nationally over
the next few years. It is another
step in the evolution of a small
business launched at a time
when Locker was looking to
make a fresh start career-wise.
A native of Philadelphia,
Locker, 54, played college soccer
at Penn State University and
professionally in Germany. He
coached 19 years at the collegiate level in the U.S., leading
the men’s programs at Otterbein
University in Westerville, University of Rochester and Harvard
University, where his team won
two Ivy League championships.
But Locker’s growing unhappiness with the college game,
including what he described as
the advent of “helicopter parents,” led him to leave Harvard
and take a job as manager at
a soccer club in Dallas. That
wasn’t a good fit, so Locker and
his family returned to Central
Ohio where he worked with the
Ohio Wesleyan University soccer
program in 2003.
“I oftentimes come to work smiling,” Steve Locker said of life at Locker Soccer.
During that time, he got the
idea for a youth soccer academy while taking his daughter
to gymnastics classes in Upper
Arlington. After consulting
with Ohio State University early
childhood development experts
Dave Fernie and Jackie Goodway, Locker opened his academy
in rented space in Dublin in
September 2004.
Working by himself, Locker
had 120 children enrolled in
the academy’s first eight-week
session. About 200 signed up for
the second session, and 260 for
a third.
“I was laughing,” he said, “and
thought this business is awesome – it’s great!”
Today, Locker operates the
academy in Powell and one
in Gahanna, employing 15 to
20 part-time staff members
and one full-time coach. The
academies serve 3,000 to 4,000
kids a year, concentrating on
preschoolers but also offering
programs for 6- to 12-year-olds
and sponsoring elite teams for
8- to 12-year-olds who have
been through the academy.
Locker said the business
is built around the motto of
“happy, smiling, sweaty kids.”
Besides designing facilities that
are fun and functional for players and coaches, he is a stickler
for making parents comfortable
by keeping the buildings clean,
well-lighted, warm and furnished with padded chairs and
coffee tables.
“We’re catering to a certain
clientele,” Locker said. “You have
to recognize that.”
One parent, Michael Rahrig of
Delaware, appreciates that the
coach of his 2-year-old daughter
always remembers her name.
“That’s important to me,”
Rahrig said. “As much as the
child has to be comfortable,
the parent does as well... They
work with the parents as much
as they work with the kids. It’s
helpful.”
He said the academy staff is
good at coaching a wide range
of children and has helped his
daughter develop her social
skills while having fun.
“I tell our coaches they must
connect with every kid in the
class,” Locker said. “The bottom
line for me is communicating
with the parent and the child.
Then they leave happy and feeling good. That is worth more to
me than anything.”
He also said he still considers
himself somewhat of a novice
about running the business side
of things, saying he is learning
how to be a better manager and
supervisor of employees. But he
has no regrets about his decision to walk away from college
coaching for a life of teaching
children the game he loves.
“This is such a fun place,”
Locker said. “I oftentimes come
to work smiling. It’s high fives
and hugs all day long.”

Tools to compete successfully for job offers in the age of social media
W
hether you’re an executive
or a new grad, there comes
a time when you can no
longer deny that job search is more
than convincing an employer to
offer you a position. Normally an
unexpected rejection with a silly
rationale (or none at all) enlightens
those who thought they had sealed
the deal. That opportunity they
believed they owned went to another.
With seasoned professionals, ego and
arrogance may be the blinding factor.
Those just beginning to climb the ladder
have their parents and society to blame.
Everyone innocently over-promised; from
families and teachers with rose-colored
glasses to college admissions counselors, students from kindergarten through
graduate school were seduced by promises of career, status and success if they
did their homework and graduated with
degrees, certifications and licenses. They
were taught that if they qualified, they
received. Most of us were raised with this
sense of entitlement, and we all have had
to face the harsh reality that today, those
well-qualified far outnumber the available, attractive opportunities.
How can a candidate win a job offer in
the midst of so many others? The following are a sampling of tactics that have
transformed a candidate into the chosen:
INSIDE REFERRAL. More than once I have
heard a hiring manager say that, as a
courtesy, he will always consider a résumé
hand-delivered by a colleague. No promises here, but guaranteed consideration
as opposed to the black hole. The referral
source must present a strong candidate
or his credibility will be lost. And the
candidate should never be a long shot,
counting on his internal connection to
make up for his deficiencies.
BRING THE “FAMILY.” In the midst of the
recession, many organizations were
forced to change pay structures, disappointing those incentivized for sales. One
disillusioned sales director gained the
commitment of his top producers that
they would follow him to better circumstances as he began his search. During
the final interview with a Fortune 200 consumer products player, this sales director
presented two impressive résumés with a
commitment that they would join him in
changing employers. It worked, and three
offers were extended.
SELLING TOO HARD. Too many job applicants approach the interview as if their
only goal is to win a job offer, losing sight
of the fact that this can land them in a job
that’s wrong for them. Interviewers want
to see that you’re thinking critically about
whether you’d do well in the job and be
happy with the work and culture, or if
you’ll be itching to leave a few months
in. This means being honest about your
strengths and weaknesses and giving the
hiring manager a glimpse of the real you,
so he or she can make an informed decision about how well you’d do in the job.
PURPOSEFUL INTERVIEWING. Candidates
who empower themselves with premeditation regarding their futures hold
far stronger interviews. A candidate
who pursues a company and ultimately
receives an invitation needs to reveal his
intentions regarding why he applied and
his plans for contributions should he
receive an offer. The premise that the candidate responded because the company
is hiring and the candidate is job hunting is not nearly enough. The employer
needs to believe that he has been singled
out, and with good reason, as the desired
place to work. Even if the candidate didn’t
Careers
JANICE WORTHINGTON
initiate the contact, he chose to respond
and appear. This needs to be emphasized.
Purposeful action will convince the hiring
manager that the candidate seeks a longterm commitment.
TOOLS THAT IMPRESS. Ever consider going
beyond résumés and cover letters to outcompete? What about bios, promos, profiles, portfolios, audio and video? These
are all tools that provide additional
information and can impress by
virtue of the fact that a candidate
has the creativity to provide more
than a point-and-click application
on a website. Ironically, the very
candidates who use the tired cliché
of thinking out of the box continue
to point, click, upload and paste.
The tricky part of using nontraditional tools is knowing when to use them
and with who. It takes very little miscalculation to appear inappropriate and end a
relationship. Delivered properly, they tend
to cause a candidate to lead the pack.
THE POWER OF SOCIAL MEDIA. The very
mention of LinkedIn and blogging turns
off the misinformed who believe their
privacy will be invaded. Some wear their
refusal to develop a LinkedIn profile as a
badge of pride. These are the same folks
who claim age discrimination because
boomers are the last to engage in the very
tools that could advance their goals. Even
responding to blogs with a short comment will place you in a Google search of
your name. Writing a blog doesn’t require
Hemingway – it only needs to be 250 to
300 words per entry. Blogs with quality content give a prospective employer
another reason to be impressed.

WITH THE ECONOMY improving and their clients spending more

they say. A lack of skilled candidates is dampening their plans.
BY ANDREA TORTORA | FOR BUSINESS FIRST
A
talent shortage is the
biggest challenge family businesses say they
face as they prepare to
increase hiring in 2013.
That’s according to the
2013 Economic Outlook Survey
from the Conway Center for Family Business. The survey had 112
Central Ohio family firms participate.
Forty percent of respondents
said finding qualified workers
is the most significant issue for
their business this year, followed
by the cost of health-care reform
and prices in commodities and
materials.
And 71 percent cited the lack of
skilled candidates as the biggest
impediment to hiring.
“There’s all kinds of opportunity
and not enough great people,” said
Steve Harmon, managing director
at Spartan Logistics, a transportation and warehouse provider.
It could pose a problem – and
potentially slow down an uptick in
the economy – if skilled workers
don’t materialize.
POSITIVE SIGNS
The Conway Center survey
found that 61.6 percent of family
businesses expect to increase
hiring this year. Most plan to add
between 1 and 10 employees.
“With family-owned businesses
comprising 80 (percent) to 90 percent of all businesses nationwide,
this is a strong positive indicator for Central Ohio’s economic
growth,” said Deana Gordon,
associate director at the Conway Center, which is a nonprofit
affiliated with Ohio Dominican
University.
The regional trend mirrors
national sentiment. The January
PwC USA Family Business Survey
found that 93 percent of business
owners are confident about their
growth prospects.
And more than half say it’s
tough to find the skilled employees they need, both within the

Harmon recently interviewed more
than 500 people to staff a new warehouse
for an existing customer. He runs the
company started by his father Ed and
partner Jim Ranney in 1988.
Of those interviewed, Harmon considered 100 to be qualified. In the end, 40
were hired.
And he needs to hire another 20 people
this year.
“There is obviously a skills gap,” Harmon said. “But we don’t compromise on

hire the wrong person.”

A relationship of a different stripe.
Family business owners say clients
are more comfortable spending money,
which means growth.
Hina Environmental Solutions LLC offers testing and abatement and remediation for asbestos, lead and mold. Founded
five years ago by Brian Hina and his wife
Susan Snyder-Hina, the firm now posts
$4.5 million in sales.
Brian Hina expects quickly to hit the $8
million sales mark. He has seven supervisors in the field and needs at least 10 to
meet client demand.
“We are hiring and growing,” he said.
How does he find good employees?
Mostly by word of mouth. The Hinas hire
construction supervisors as their abatement supervisors. They use temporary
workers to staff projects. There was no
turnover during their first three years of
business. But then they had to let some
people go.
“They couldn’t meet our expectations,”
Brian Hina said. “It’s hard to find people
to fit in and do what we need them to do.”
Atlas Butler Heating and Cooling also
is in hiring mode, said Bill Esch, chief
operating officer. The third-generation
family business is owned by President
Mark Swepston.
Atlas Butler hired five people so far in
2013 and will hire a total of 20 this year.
Each year the firm hires about six people
it trains through Columbus State Community College. Others are experienced.
“Our main challenge is hiring qualified
technicians,” Esch said. “This is our main
concern.”
RECRUITING PRACTICES
A relationship of a different stripe.
porterwright.com
How do companies find the workers
they need?
Newspaper advertisements and Internet sites such as Monster.com are popular
avenues. Some companies maintain a
proactive role with technical schools.
Others, such as Roberts Electrical, benefit from being union shops.
“We do truly consider it an advantage,”
said Beth Butler, president of the electrical contractor.
Her parents, Dick and Beverly Roberts,
started the company in 1975. Butler and
her sister-in-law Michele Roberts, secretary, share ownership. Her brother Rich is
an estimator and project manager.
When she needs to hire, Butler puts in a
call to the union office and receives referrals for qualified candidates. Interviews
determine if potential employees will be a
good fit. The union labor force possesses
a minimum four to five years of experience from on-the-job training and apprenticeships. That means there is a high
probability those workers can smoothly
transition into the job, Butler said.
“We are highly involved in cultivating a
trained work force,” she said.
RETENTION RESOURCES
To retain top workers, family businesses offer continuing education and solid
benefits. Atlas Butler stays active with
technical schools and “ongoing training
helps manage our people,” Esch said.
Hina Environmental offers a 401(k),
medical, dental and vision insurance and
a bonus structure.
“We do not micromanage our employees,” Brian Hina said.
At Spartan Logistics, a fair wage and an
incentive plan means “the harder employees work, the more they make,” Harmon
said.
“We treat people honestly and with
respect,” he said.
Concerns about finding qualified help
are not new. The issue also was a top concern in last year’s Conway Center survey,
Gordon said.
The state of the economy certainly
plays a role. Business owners said they often are surprised at the lack of work ethic
among potential employees.
“Companies have shared that they try
to hire people, but candidates want to
wait until their unemployment runs out,”
Gordon said.
Harmon said he thinks government assistance for the unemployed discourages
people from seeking work.
But he stays optimistic.
“We have always kept the attitude that
if someone is the right person for this
firm,” he said, “there is a spot for them.”

Saving Grove City bowling alley from closure becomes true family affair
“We took all that we
could fit in the Ford Windstar,” he said.
The bowling alley’s
longtime mechanic stayed
on when it changed
ownership, which has
been vital in keeping balls
rolling and pins resetting.
Still, some aspects of the
bowling alley cross the line
between retro and dated,
and as finances allow
Mills and Rucker plan to
update components such
as the unattractive panels
that hide the pin-setting
machines.
the partners has been
seeing children enjoy the
bowling alley.
“We get a big kick when
neighborhood kids come
in,” Mills said. “We take
them in the back and let
them see how the old the
machines work.”
The family-oriented
approach has extended to
his and Rucker’s families.
Wives Cherise Mills and
Rose Rucker pitch in at the
alley and with behind-thescenes work such as the
bookkeeping. Archie Mills
has three adult daughters, Amanda, Amber and
Christina, who help out
in addition to 16-year-old
Maggie.
The youngest helper
is the Ruckers’ daughter
Maryann, 10, who assists
with shoe rentals and sets
up bowlers’ names on the
scoring machines.
“It’s fun because you get
to hang out with friends
and family on the weekends,” Rose Rucker said,
noting that many customers are people they know.
Older daughter Tabitha,
16, works weekend afternoons, helping make the
food for birthday parties
among other things. She
enjoys it, Tabitha said, especially when her friends
come in. If it’s not too
busy, she sometimes bowls
a game or two with them.
But she also takes her
work seriously.
“It’s giving me a work
ethic that will help me get
a job later,” Tabitha said.
A year after buying an
antiquated bowling alley
in downtown Grove City,
neither Archie Mills nor
J.R. Rucker regrets it.
Combining business and
bowling, friends and family has worked out well for
them.
“It hasn’t been easy,”
Mills said. “But we’ve had a
great time.”
PITCHING IN
The greatest payoff for
CINDI ANDREWS is a
freelance writer.
BY CINDI ANDREWS | FOR BUSINESS FIRST
A
man walks into a
bar and the bartender says, “Do
you want to buy a
bowling alley?”
The punch line: Two
families now are spending
all of their free time running a ’50s-era, eight-lane
bowling alley in downtown
Grove City.
It started when Archie
Mills’ teen daughter, Maggie, had a birthday party at
Grove City Bowling Lanes,
a block from their home,
in late 2009. Mills struck
up a conversation with the
owner, who was tending
the bar. The owner said
he was retiring and would
close the bowling alley if
he couldn’t find a buyer.
“It had been there so
long I just could not let
it go,” Mills said. “There’s
nothing for kids to do in
the downtown area. It
would be a loss.”
Mills talked to buddy
J.R. Rucker, and the men
talked to their families,
and on March 1, 2010, they
became the proud owners
of a bowling alley. The sum
total of their prior bowling experience, according
to Rucker: “I used to bowl
when I was kid, and Archie
bowled in a couple of
leagues.”
It’s not your typical
bowling alley. Forget slick
laminate lanes, computerized scoring and black
lights. Grove City Bowling Lanes first opened in
1948 and stepping inside
it today is like rolling back
in time, from the original hardwood lanes and
over-the-floor ball returns
to the ’70s-era scoring
system.
Mills and Rucker didn’t
start with a business plan
and they still don’t have
one. What they do have is
a vision. They entered the
venture with two goals: To
return the bowling alley
to its retro glory and make

Rose and daughter Maryann. Archie Mills, right, is pictured

such as ball returns that haven’t been modernized.
it a place that kids and
families would enjoy.
“People say, ‘You should
have had a business plan,’
” Rucker said. “Well, we’re
both family-oriented, and
that’s the approach that
we’re taking – to have a
place where families can
come.”
The previous operators
had placed greater emphasis on the bar part of the
operation.
“We bought a business
that didn’t have a business,” Rucker said. “We’re
rebuilding it and getting it
back in the community’s
eyes.”
They have started
several leagues – a hairdressers’ league, a church
league – and rented the
space to schools for gym
class during the day. They
also plan to sponsor youth
sports teams.
In addition to bowling,
the business offers a limited menu, bar and pool
table. They’ve added music
and a 60-inch TV.
RETRO VS. DATED
Making money wasn’t a
priority for the partners.
They have kept their day
jobs – Mills at Abbott
Nutrition and Rucker at
St. Charles Preparatory
School – and plowed any
money they make at the
bowling alley back into
the business. They split
the alley’s hours between
themselves and also enlisted their wives and kids
to help with staffing.
They charge $5 per game
and $4.38 for shoe rental,
which is priced to be competitive with what other
venues charge.
“We want it to be used.
Most of the mom-and-pop
bowling alleys are gone,”
Mills said.
Rucker said business
has picked up, especially
on Monday and Tuesday
nights.
“When we first started,
we could go a Monday
night and never have a
customer come in at all,”
he said.
Money that comes in
helps pay for parts needed
to keep the tempermental
old equipment working. The owners found a
bowling center in Iowa
that was getting rid of its
scoring system, so Rucker
and daughter Tabitha
drove 1,700 miles roundtrip to pick up the obsolete
monitors.

As family business owners eye exit plans, complex dealings await
BY ROBERT CELASCHI | FOR BUSINESS FIRST
I
f buying or selling a business doesn’t
create enough anxiety for everyone
involved, try buying or selling a family
business. Such deals carry all the risks
and emotions of a regular deal, multiplied by all the relatives and the ghosts of
previous generations.
Any time a business goes on the market, buyers and sellers have to agree on a
value.
With a family, values can extend far beyond money. With a founder, for instance,
it’s more than just a company.
“This is their baby,” said Bea Wolper, cofounder of the Conway Center for Family
Business and president of the Emens &
Wolper Law Firm. “They will think that
now that they have put their heart and
soul into it, to hear somebody else spout a
dollar value makes them feel uncomfortable.”
For the children and grandchildren of
the founders, the business may be mixed
intimately and integrally with the family
identity.
The sale might be due to an illness in
the family, or family members having different desires for the future.
And now someone else is going to run
the show.
“In the hundreds of buy-sells that I
have done with family businesses, I have
never talked to a family-business owner
who has underestimated the value of the
company,” Wolper said. “That’s because
they put a premium on blood and sweat.
In the marketplace, they don’t really pay
for blood and sweat.”
Buyers need to be aware that all this is
happening on the other side of the table,
she added.
“When you recognize that going in,
your negotiations will be easier,” she said.
“You tailor your offer to make it easier.”
That means saying right up front there
will be no compensation for sweat equity,
for example.
“One way people deal with it is to set
up a family council to talk about those
kinds of things,” she said. That goes not
only for selling the business, but for how
to handle the proceeds.
| “BEING DOGGEDLY
determined is the way I
dealt with it. When I look
back on it, I could probably
write books about it.”
Bob Althoff | Owner of AD Farrow Co. Harley
Davidson, talking about how long it took for him
to complete the purchase of the company about a
decade ago. He said he used the extra time to hone
a business plan. The time also allowed him to do
his due diligence and build a team of advisers.
COURTESY BOB ALTHOFF
MORE EXITS COMING
Things can get especially sticky when
buyers and sellers are basically the same
family, said Emmet Apolinario, president
of business brokerage Sunbelt International in Columbus and president of the
Ohio Business Brokers Association. One
family member might want to keep the
business going, while another might want
to cash out.
More and more family businesses will
go on the block in coming years, said
Apolinario. As Baby Boomers retire, their
children are not always willing or able to
pick up the reins.
“We are seeing more and more families
that say they need to look at an exit plan.
I would say the trend is growing,” he said.
“We’re running into this situation where
the owners are more interested in the
money than the legacy.”
Understanding the process before put-
ting up the for-sale sign helps both sides
of the transaction.
For the family selling, it’s important to
understand what family members will do
in the future if they have been involved in
the company, Wolper said. A third-party
valuation is crucial.
The dividing line between family and
business can get blurry when it comes to
expenses.
A potential buyer may question why
the company car had to be a Corvette, or
why the travel budget included conferences in Las Vegas or Hawaii each year.
“Those were deductions that are valid;
they would pass the smell test with the
IRS, but a buying company is going to say,
‘We’re going to cut that out,’” she said.
Also be prepared for sellers’ remorse,
she said. Once a family has handed over
the keys, they have plenty of time to
ponder whether they could have gotten a
better deal.
ALWAYS COMPLEX
Above all else, keep everything confidential, Wolper said. Make prospects sign
a confidentiality agreement and don’t talk
about the sale to anyone inside the business either.
Neither the seller nor the potential buyers want to scare off customers, vendors
or, especially, employees.
“If your employees think you are selling,
a lot of them will bail before you even
have a chance to see if they were interested in staying around. You want to be able
to keep them if you can,” she said.
Apolinario claims that family-business
deals are more complex, especially if
family members have participated in the
business to varying degrees.
“It’s not just the business workings,
the operations. You are talking about the
emotional connection of the family members of the business. Emotions create a
whole lot more complexity. You have egos
that come into play.”

SALES: Emotion, egos are in play
FROM PAGE 24
Bob Althoff notes that buying a business already is complex even without
family involvement.
“There are lots of advisers, there are
accountants, there are bankers, there are
regulatory people,” he said.
About 10 years ago, he bought AD
Farrow Co. Harley Davidson, becoming
only the third owner since the company
was founded in 1912. It has three shops in
Central Ohio.
“Being doggedly determined is the way
I dealt with it. When I look back on it, I
could probably write books about it,” he
said.
The negotiations dragged on far too
long, he said, but he used that time to
hone his business plan.
“The work expands to fit the time
frame, so as it turns out we had a phenomenal business plan when we were
done because we had months to work on
it.”
Althoff also spent a lot of money on due
diligence and on assembling his team of
advisers.
“When you have a team, it takes a little
of the sting out of the slings and arrows,”
he said. “If you were literally sitting at a
kitchen table buying a family business –
which never happens anymore – those
slings and arrows can get personal.”
With a team, however, different people
can step in to take their hits at various
times. Now that he’s run the show for a
decade, Althoff has a better appreciation
of what his predecessors had invested in
the Harley shops.
“I now understand better as an owner,
working seven days a week, how emotionally caught up you get in your business,”
he said. “Not every buyer is totally attuned to that.”

Firing family member should be all business
BY SHANNON CLINTON | FOR BUSINESS FIRST
The family-owned business could be
considered one of the most idyllic examples of the American dream, with longtime mom-and-pop enterprises handed
down to grown children or generations of
family members proudly working together
and building a successful enterprise.
But as with any family relationship – or
business relationship – conflicts can arise,
and with a family-run business, addressing them can be tricky.
Maybe your uncle resists any hint of
new technology and it’s costing your company big money, or perhaps your sister has
a habit of mouthing off and offending new
and long-term clients.
You’re at your wits’ end after talking
with them and working toward specific
areas of improvement, but now the time
has come: Your relative needs to be fired.
How should you handle the situation to
do what’s best for the company and the
family? It’s a tough situation, but experts
offer several tips for dismissing a family
member.
James Olan Hutcheson has the dual perspective of having worked with his family’s
well-known portrait photography company – Olan Mills Inc. – for 19 years, and,
since the mid 1990s, counseling clients
with his global family business consulting
firm, ReGeneration Partners.
The best approach, Hutcheson said, is
to be proactive by ensuring family members have the talents, skills and desire to
do the job before they are hired. It’s also
important that the job has clearly communicated responsibilities, fair pay and
benefits and, ideally, a nonfamily member
as supervisor.
But if the time still comes to terminate
a family member, there are several tips to
keep in mind. Review the planned termination with board members, or if there’s
no board, consult an independent adviser,
like an accountant or attorney, and other
family members who will be impacted,
to ensure your decision is considered fair
and reasonable, Hutcheson said.
The person set to be terminated should
also be given a chance to correct performance. By the time of termination, it
should have been made clear that their
performance hasn’t been up to par in specific areas.
The relative also should be assured that
the decision is entirely business-related,
Is Your
Family Business

at Night?
not personal. It also helps to be as generous as possible with severance pay.
“As long as you do that, you take out the
‘he doesn’t like me, he’s angry at me’ versus a work performance reason,” he said.
Sher Graham, chief knowledge and energy officer for Synergy Solutions Group, a
business consulting firm, said her advice
when counseling business owners who’ve
reached this critical point with a relative
is straightforward.
“No. 1 is business comes first,” said Graham, who is also an email counselor with
the Service Corps of Retired Executives’
Mississippi chapter.
Graham said having a written employment agreement and “family code of
conduct” in place from the start can circumvent later problems by outlining performance standards and processes for hiring, training, promotion, compensation,
evaluation and firing procedures.
She also suggests hiring an objective,
nonfamily member to help manage operations and keep family ties from fraying.
To avoid problems down the road, she
said performance reviews should be conducted on a regular schedule and that
work policies should be applied evenly to
both family and nonfamily employees.
But if those proactive measures don’t
prevent the need for dismissing a family
member, Graham said there are several
tips to avoid problems.
She advises being honest about reasons
for the firing, using documentation to
show why action was necessary and having an impartial third party present.
The family member should be given the
option to resign, and there should be a
stated desire to preserve relationships to
convey that “you haven’t fired them from
the family, you’ve fired them from the
business,” she said.
After a family member is terminated,
there’s no set time frame for making follow
up contact – the person may need time to
cool down or may be the sort to appreciate a note or call soon afterward, she said.
When making follow-up contact after
firing a family member, Hutcheson suggests gently reiterating that the dismissal
was strictly a business decision.
“If people understand it’s not personal,
then people understand it’s just a regular
termination,” he said.

Shaky economic climates should
push reinvention to front burner
W
ith the economy
rebounding from
recession, reinvention should be a part
of every business plan.
This is especially true for
family-owned businesses –
studies show more than 80
percent of American businesses are family-owned
or led.
Successfully adjusting business strategy in a changing climate could be the
difference between staying in business or
shutting the doors. Or between staying
competitive or falling behind.
Dublin Cleaners, run by second- and
third-generation members of the Butler
family, has been in business for 78 years.
However, diverse challenges such as
swelling energy costs, changes in corporate and social dress codes and increased
regulation were big obstacles for the
company.
Dublin Cleaners’ leaders realized that
reinventing their business strategies
would be the only way to survive when
many other dry cleaning companies did
not.
The Butlers have been recognized
by their industry for new technologies
they’ve introduced during this difficult
time. They have succeeded by emphasizing convenience, superior customer
service and high product quality.
Because of their willingness to reinvent
the way they do things, their family business has gained market share and built a
stronger brand.
CHANGING THINGS UP
Another Central Ohio company whose
reinvention strategies have proven successful is Ricart Automotive Group.
Ricart was founded in 1953 when the
late Paul Ricart bought a small Ford dealership serving area residents and airmen
stationed at a nearby base. Paul’s sons,
Fred and Rhett, eventually took over the
dealership from their father.
They grew it into a mega dealership by

recognizing the needs of their customers
and changing loyalties by adding other
brands and used cars, and developing an
aggressive and highly efficient advertising
and marketing campaign largely produced using their own, unique, in-house
video production capability.
By being aware of the need to change
their offering to stay competitive and
developing unique ways to set them
apart from rivals, three generations of
the Ricart family have built a dealership
that has grown to one of the largest in the
Midwest.
These two companies found that the
only way to survive a downturn or stiff
competition is to constantly innovate and
to find new opportunities to grow.
Reinvention means knowing when you
need to change your business plan and
deciding what to do to make your business sustainable. Then, follow your plan
to make the switch and – possibly most
important – manage the changes.
Even companies that are most committed to reinvention can stray from the
best-laid plans. Bringing in outside help
and views can be vital.
Other family-business owners and
advisers can be great resources for each
step along the way to reinvention.
In fact, a recent Conway Center for
Family Business study found that the
most trusted adviser for family-owned
businesses is a business peer, followed by
attorneys and accountants.
DICK EMENS is a co-founder of the Conway Center for
Family Business and serves as executive director and an
advisory board member. He is also a partner in the law
firm of Emens & Wolper LPA in Columbus.
DUBLIN CLEANERS, RUN by second and third generation

President’s wage hike proposal doesn’t cut it
Debate over the merits of raising
the nation’s minimum wage continues to reverberate following President Barack Obama’s call to boost
the hourly rate to $9 by the end of
2015.
Proponents frame the debate as
a matter of economic fairness, but
it isn’t. For either side of the argument. Just as minimum-wage backers can criticize that $7.25 an hour
is the math for poverty, opponents
can point to others punished by an
increase – every consumer, from
corporations to mothers, including those that would be helped
by a hike in the wage. Indeed, the
president’s proposal might create
a tiny set of winners – a single-digit
percentage of the hourly work force
– but it could make losers of a far
larger group.
The federal government, by jacking up the bottom wage level 24
percent, would throw a shock into
the system for some companies and
consumers. A better route would be
the Ohio system. By establishing a
wage starting point (and face it, the
minimum wage isn’t going away),
it addresses the issue of fairness in
pay for the unskilled. It goes a step
further by pegging future increases
in the minimum wage to changes in
inflation.
And it is respectful of those who
pay the wages. By indexing increases, it tempers the inevitable rise in
the cost of doing business for companies, especially small ones susceptible to unexpected, abrupt payroll changes. It also gives business
operators a measure of predictability – the importance of which eludes
this president and Congress.
Ohio’s minimum wage is $7.85
an hour. It was increased 15 cents
this year under a state constitutional amendment voters approved
in 2006, calling for a change in the
wage to reflect a rise in the cost of
living. There are lower wage levels
for workers who collect tips, some
groups of teenagers and those employed at companies with gross receipts below $288,000 a year.
With that vote, Ohioans dismissed the fringe who offer no belief
in the minimum wage. Their vote
demonstrated dignity toward those
who choose to work but struggle to
make ends meet through low-wage
employment. At the same time,
they acknowledged how important
it is that employers not be surprised
when it comes to regulatory influences shaping their expenses.
It is unlikely the president’s proposal will go anywhere with the
Republican-controlled House.
More important, upping the
minimum wage shouldn’t be a substitute for the important work the
government must do to help Americans trying to cope with a shifting
economy. Indeed, the focus should
be on improving business conditions that can enhance job creation,
promoting entrepreneurship and
encouraging the young and old that
education is the way toward gaining skills that can demand far more
than rock-bottom wages in the job
marketplace.
Immigration reform needs to consider labor economics
I
mmigration reform is the
topic of strenuous debate,
particularly about undocumented immigrants. While
some emphasize the value of
a readily available work force,
others focus on costs, including health care, education
and social services. Given the
emotional nature of the debate,
the statistics emphasized and the
conclusions drawn vary widely.
It is clear immigrants – legal and
undocumented – influence business and certain industries depend
on the immigrant work force.
While the influence of documented
immigrants can be measured in a
relatively straightforward manner,
that of undocumented immigrants
is more difficult to determine.
In 2008 my firm studied immigration, considering the likely numbers of undocumented workers by
state and industry, dynamics that
would be set in motion by a major
change in immigration policy, the
effect on various supply chains and
payrolls, and differentials in skill
levels and compensation associated with undocumented workers.
At the time of the study, we
estimated there were 8.1 million
undocumented workers in the U.S.
economy. If these individuals were
removed from the work force, the
effects would ripple through many
industries and the ultimate job
losses would be higher.
Undocumented immigrants
comprise a large component of the
work force in some industries and
viewpoint
RAY PERRYMAN
geographic areas. We found that in
10 states the percentage of undocumented workers as a share of the
work force topped 5 percent, with
Arizona the highest at 12 percent.
For the nation, eliminating the
undocumented work force would
spell more than $650 billion in
annual lost output. Even after the
economy had time to adjust, the
forgone economic activity would
include almost $245 billion in output each year and 2.8 million jobs.
Of course, a complete removal of
the undocumented work force is
neither possible nor under serious
consideration, but quantifying the
harmful effect of taking these workers out of the economy illustrates
their value. Overly restrictive immigration policy has the potential
to devastate certain industries that
would be faced with near-crisis
conditions over affordable labor.
To fill the gaps, Americans would
have to be induced into the labor
pool or provided incentives to take
jobs far below their education and
skill levels. Higher wages likely
would be necessary, thereby eroding global competitiveness.
Even during the worst of the recent downturn, there were stories
of labor needs unmet – in the
agriculture industry, for example – despite concerted efforts
to entice workers. Some parts
of the nation still are experiencing overly high jobless rates, but
there is a poor match between
many of the unemployed and
the low-skill jobs often filled by
undocumented immigrants.
As America’s work force becomes
older, more stable in number and
better educated, the U.S. production complex increasingly requires
low-skilled foreign workers. In
1960, about 50 percent of men in
the U.S. joined the low-skilled labor
force without completing high
school; the participation now is
less than 10 percent. Shortages in
the low-skilled labor force are likely
to escalate.
There is a legitimate policy
debate regarding the path to legal
status that should be available to
immigrants. There also are questions over how to pay for necessary services such as education
or health care. But it is crucial to
recognize the basic and inescapable reality that overly restricting
immigration will restrict the supply
of workers who fill a role in the
economy.
We would be well-served if we
were to make this necessary part
of the labor market function in a
more efficient and effective manner
through meaningful reforms.
RAY PERRYMAN is CEO of Perryman
Group in San Antonio.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK: Should the minimum wage
be indexed to inflation so that when the cost
of living rises, the pay rate increases, too?
Not sure
4%
No
51%
Yes
45%
Survey response: 472 Results come from an unscientific poll Business First
conducts. This poll was taken Feb. 28 to March 6. Results may not equal
100 percent due to rounding. Computer-programmed bulk voting
results removed, so percentages may differ from results seen online.
WHAT THEY THINK: How readers weighed in with
comments on this week’s online question:
How about leaving that up to the people who
have to pay the wage ... the employer? Raises
should be based on merit, not cost of living. We might
get a better work force if wages were truly merit-based.”
“
“
“
“
Maybe they should be based on merit, but
too many employers don’t see merit, i.e. hard
work on the part of the worker to advance the goals
of the organization, as relevant to pay increases.”
If the people paying the minimum wage
had ever worked for minimum wage, this
would be a non-issue. It’s so little even if raised that
it’s nearly impossible to make a go of it either way.”
I believe, as many experts do, that raising the
minimum wage will eliminate jobs, not create
them. It is up to the individual to get the education,
training and skills development to earn a ‘living wage.’ ”

GAP: ‘The need is acute, there is no question’
Capital Resin has an in-house program to train workers
such as T.J. Justice to keep their skills up to date.
Selected severity
Employers often increase wages to attract and keep employees in
times of worker shortages. Based on the relatively small growth
of wages in high-skill jobs in the past five years, Boston Consulting
Group disagrees there is a shortage of skilled workers. But there
are pockets of pronounced need both in the U.S. and Ohio.

There are well-paying, fulfilling
careers to be had without a fouryear degree. Welders, machinists,
and certain types of mechanics
and engineers are groups that
employers strain to find. Some see
the shortfall now, others not yet.
But all agree the gap is only going
to widen unless the tide is turned
soon.
“There’s a lot of really smart,
high-IQ people who love fixing
things,” said Ohio Transmission
Corp. CEO Philip Derrow.
Boston Consulting Group said
U.S. manufacturers could be short
by 875,000 high-skilled workers
in just seven years. It leaves some
wondering why.
“People can come out of school
and make pretty darn good money
and have marketable skills,” said
Terry Dyer, Worthington Industries Inc. vice president of human
resources.
American manufacturers are
expected to add 2.5 million to 5
million jobs and increase exports
$130 billion annually by 2020,
driven by the “reshoring” trend,
says the Boston Consulting study.
The Institute for Supply Management, in its latest monthly
manufacturing report, said factory
activity is up and exports are at a
nine-month high, with new orders
and backlogs on the rise – all indicators of continuing growth.
Some of the biggest growth
sectors – autos, machinery, metal
products, chemicals, and all big in
Ohio – are where the employment
needs are strongest.
“The need is acute, there is no
question about that,” said Bill
Forquer, CEO of RealWeld Systems
Inc., a Columbus spinoff of the
Edison Welding Institute that creates tools to train welders. “It’s not
uncommon for the people we talk
to to have a high failure rate for
welders. You have to look at 10 to
find one. That’s a big problem.”
ManpowerGroup Inc. reports
skilled trades not only are on the
most-wanted list, they often top it,
including in 2012. Jeanne Farmer,
regional director of Manpower
Ohio, said the recession taught
employers how to do more with
less. That raised the skills bar.
“You want employees to hit
the ground running,” Dyer said.
“Unfortunately, that’s not always
the case.”
Worthington Industries’ biggest
needs are for more workers with
automation, robotics and programing skills. Tests, like those for
mechanical aptitude, weed out
many candidates. The company is
addressing what it sees by paying
more for certain jobs to ensure
it holds onto qualified employees, and it’s taking a bigger hand
in training. The company has
a relationship with Columbus
State Community College, runs a
Welders such as Worthington Cylinders’ Tim Wilson will be in demand as the
current generation retires and not enough new workers step up to fill their jobs.
Looking ahead
Boston Consulting doesn’t see a skills gap now but anticipates one in the
future if the supply of trained employees is not addressed soon:

work-study scholarship program
and maintains its own training
program.
“We can bring in people with
some of the skills we’re looking
for,” Dyer said. “We can show them
what else they need.”
DOING OK, FOR NOW
Ohio Transmission isn’t experiencing a qualified candidate
shortage. The Columbus-based
distributor of industrial machinery employs 465 workers, including 75 field service technicians
and maintenance staff. The company had an employment pipeline
to Hocking College, which once
offered an industrial air compressor program.
“We hired someone from every
class,” Derrow said. “When it
stopped, we continued to find
techs.”
But most new hires these days
are referrals, which Derrow said
tells him he’s doing a good job at
keeping pay and benefits competitive.
Dan Yinger, president Capital
Resin Corp. in Columbus, said
when there is a need, often it is on
the systems side because many
production processes are automated. There are mechanical and
technical skills sought, he said,
but finding talent hasn’t been an
issue because the company has
a relationship with Ashland (Ky.)
Community & Technical College
to keep it tapped into a pool of job
prospects. Candidates are vetted
by the production team for math
and other technical skills. Employees are assigned mentors. From
that point on, Yinger said, it’s a
matter of keeping pay and benefits
competitive.
ONUS ON EMPLOYERS

Farmer thinks parents,
students, even employers
must change.
“They need to look for a
teachable fit, applicants they
can up-skill, people they can
promote from within,” she
said.
Zinser thinks any employment shortage won’t halt
manufacturing growth but
would slow it. If manufacturers can’t find employees and
can’t train them, it raises the
chances that growth could go
to other countries. But that,
he said, is unlikely.
“A lot of other countries –
Germany, China – are seeing
some of the same issues,”
Zinser said.

Talent Shortage Survey
Columbus State runs automotive tech programs that are turning out students in demand by the industry.
Auto mechanics growing area of need
Shortages of skilled employees in the automobile
industry extend beyond the
factory floor.
While the U.S. manufacturing operations of automakers
such as Honda Motor Co.,
Chrysler Group LLC and
Ford Motor Co. have voiced
concerns over the skills pipeline into their plants, there
are big needs among those
businesses that sell and
repair cars and trucks.
“As soon as the economy
started to turn, I started
getting calls,” said Andrew
Rezin, chairman of Columbus State Community College’s automotive and applied
technologies program. “I got
more calls than there were
people to fill our classes.”
The school’s auto tech
programs prep entry-level
technicians and service
managers and help students
and workers get ready for Automotive Service Excellence
examinations and other
advanced levels of work.
“We’re adding techs all the
time and it isn’t because of
attrition,” said Rhett Ricart,
co-owner of Ricart Automotive Group, one of the largest
car companies in Columbus.
Not only are sales on an
upswing, which is creating
more demand for service, but
vehicles are growing more
complex by the year, increas-

“A company that’s headquartered in
Columbus is tied in part to the reputation
of our community, (which is) on the rise
in a number of ways,” said Eric Fingerhut,
vice president of the Education and STEM
Learning business line at Columbus
research nonprofit Battelle.
“Even if you don’t send your own kids
to the city schools, the fact is the overall
reputation of the schools matters,” he
said. “We have to be honest, and say the
reputation of our schools is not what it
should be, and that reflects on all of us.”
IT TAKES A VILLAGE
Coleman and City Council President
Andrew Ginther formed the commission
to find ways to improve educational opportunities from preschool through employment for children living in the school
district, including those attending charter
and private schools. The effort includes
preschool, after-school programs, youthoriented nonprofits, food programs and
just about anything that touches a child’s
life. The group’s report is due in April.
Employers want not only students who
come through the system with problemsolving and technical skills, but who at
their core possess a work ethic, resiliency and ability to work in multicultural
groups, said David Harrison, president of
Columbus State Community College and
a commission member.
Beyond future work-force development,
employers need schools to be attractive
when they’re hiring parents.
“The ability to live in a city and go to
schools in a city is part of the attraction to
the creative class,” Fingerhut said.
The district has some schools with
excellent performance, so the recommendations will include best practices to help
elevate all of them, Miller said.
“Why can one school in the system succeed when another can’t?” he said. “That
gets to the root of what we’re trying to do.”
Other members of the 25-person commission come from government, nonprofits, academia, teachers unions and parent
groups. Business members bring a fresh,
analytic eye, Crane said.
“We’re looking from the outside in,” she
said. “The school systems have the same
functions – human resources, leadership
– that we have in our own business environment. We offer some tools. We offer a
different perspective ... more impartial.”
Crane was among a group of business executives who in 2010 formed the
Learn4Life nonprofit to promote lifetime
learning. There is significant overlap in
membership between its governing board
and the commission, and the nonprofit
will help with data gathering and accountability when the commission’s work
is done, Crane said.
Starting in December, CEOs and other
members have cleared schedules for sixhour meetings “plus homework,” Crane
said.
“This is worth our investment to be
here,” she said.
Now at issue is whether those on the
receiving end of the report appreciate the
investment. Despite having a member
on the commission, the Columbus Board
of Education passed a resolution March
5 saying it would oppose any federal or
state regulatory attempts to diminish local control of schools by elected officials.

great as some complain, but
the pool of candidates will
only get shallower if not addressed. While there are efforts to fill the talent pipeline
through relationships with
schools, most agree businesses will need to step up.
“The burden is going to
shift to the organizations,”
Zinser said. “If the skills don’t
materialize, companies will
have to invest in training.”
Derrow is in favor of businesses taking on training.
“I don’t think it’s the state’s
job to train my employees,”
he said. “If I need something,
I’d put in a training program.
Skills are teachable.”

REDS: Many of park’s
suites up for renewal
FROM PAGE 3
Budweiser Bow Tie Bar, above the visitors’ bullpen in
right field. Complete with a 30-foot-long sign, the bar is
named for the shape of Bud’s iconic logo and is part of a
new multiyear sponsorship with the brewer. It will seat
up to 90 patrons, with space for more fans to stand. Bud
also gets a 45-foot-long, 7-foot-high sign in right field.
Phil Castellini, the Reds’ chief operating officer and
son of owner Bob Castellini, said the bar should create
new revenue in that section of the 42,300-seat stadium.
“And it gives Budweiser another place to connect with
fans,” he said.
REACTING TO FANS
There are other reasons the Reds spent big on amenities: Great American is 10 years old and many suite
holders’ leases are up for renewal. Then there’s the 2015
All-Star Game, which will put the Reds and their $290
million stadium in the national spotlight.
Indeed, teams throughout Major League Baseball are
doing more to appeal to the most casual of fans.
“The Reds are trying to create more ways to entertain,”
said Joe Cobb, a sports business professor at Northern
Kentucky University. “And broaden the experience.”
“The Reds are very entrepreneurial. They really understand their fan base,” said Jackie Reau, CEO of Game Day
Communications, a marketing firm. “They know they’re
competing for fans’ time, dollars and hearts.”
Seattle opened a plaza at its stadium in 2011 that allows up to 3,000 people to drink and mingle. The Mariverage
ners boosted food and beverage
rea.
sales 67 percent in that area.
The San Diego Padres
last year opened a Budweiser Patio at their
downtown Petco Park
that has drawn up to
1,000 patrons at a time.
Stadiums in Baltimore,
phia
Kansas City and Philadelphia
have opened similar areas.
In Cincinnati, the Reds have added a tier above the
bullpen that will include an outdoor patio. It’ll sell that
space to groups for games.
The team also is converting half of the patio seating for
the Machine Room to make it available for group rentals.
Also, it is converting the tavern’s wall facing the field
into one that can be opened on nice days. The added
patios give the Reds more spaces to sell. They boost the
stadium’s standing room capacity, too.
The team’s street-level gift shop includes a new entrance that will face the bars and restaurants that have
set up at the Banks riverfront development, improving
visibility, particularly on non-game days.
The Reds also are realigning and expanding beyond
the gift shop, on the first base side of the stadium’s
Crosley Terrace, to make it usable for events before and
after games. Fans will be able to enter the area without
a ticket, opening up possibilities to appeal to a broader
audience.
“You’ll see us activate that with bands,” Castellini said.
“We want to make that Crosley Terrace experience more
happening.”
SWEETENING SUITES
Half of the Reds suites – 27 of the 54 – will be renovated this year. Those changes are mostly cosmetic, Castellini said, involving updated decor and painting. The team
will make over the rest next year.
Many Major League ballparks that are 10 to 15 years
old are making similar updates, said Pat Tangen, a
principal at Kansas City, Mo.-based sports architecture
firm Populous, which has designed renovations at the
Texas Rangers, Seattle Mariners and Los Angeles Angels
stadiums. Populous, once named HOK, was the architect
of Great American Ball Park.
Additions such as the Budweiser Bow Tie Bar create
an outdoor party atmosphere that caters to twentysomethings, Tangen said.
“It becomes new and lively,” he said. “Kind of like getting a new car.”

COURTESY BOEING
Boeing’s Craig Mills helps test radio frequency antennas in an echo-free chamber at the company’s Heath campus.

ers scrambling to save the base,
which opened in 1962, and the
2,000 civilian and military jobs
tied to it at the time. They argued
successfully that the facility’s
skilled work force and unique
technical capabilities, including
its underground labs and seismic
stability needed for precision
measurement work, could not be
replicated elsewhere.
Boeing eventually won the
missile guidance and aircraft
navigation contract and has been
doing the work since the base was
privatized in October 1996. It has
taken on other Air Force and Navy
contracts in Heath, but company
officials said the missile and aircraft repair contract still accounts
for about 60 percent of Boeing’s
business mix there.
The current 15-year contract
expires Oct. 1, 2014, so a group of
Licking County business leaders
and elected officials will go to
Washington, D.C., on March 20
to begin lobbying for renewal of
the contract. They plan to make
many of the same arguments that
helped save the facility 20 years
ago, said Rick Platt, CEO of the
Heath-Newark-Licking County
Port Authority.
“It’s the community’s job to tell
that story,” he said, “and make sure
the Defense Department doesn’t
forget. ... Some of their programmers were in grade school when
this happened (in the 1990s). They
need to hear our story.”
Boeing is the anchor at the
350-acre Central Ohio Aerospace
& Technology Center, which is
owned by the port authority. The
center includes the former Air
Force buildings that now house
Boeing’s operations and Bionetics
Corp., which manages the metrology center for the Air Force, as
well as two new buildings constructed in the past six years. One
houses UTC Aerospace Systems,
which provides engineering
services for inertial guidance systems. The other is home to Samuel
Strapping Systems, a manufacturer and supplier of steel and plastic
strapping products.
About 775 people work at the

Companies and the work they perform
at the Central Ohio Aerospace &
Technology Center in Heath:
Boeing Co.: Prime contractor for maintenance and repair of guidance systems on

aircraft; Airborne Warning and Control
Systems equipment; and navigation
systems for Navy’s Trident nuclear
submarine fleet.
UTC Aerospace Systems: Provides engineering services for inertial guidance
systems and research and development
of navigation systems for aerospace
navigation systems.
Bionetics Corp.: Manages the Air Force
Primary Standards Laboratory for
metrology and calibration, providing
precision measurements for Air Force
equipment.
Samuel Strapping Systems: Manufacturer and supplier of steel and plastic
strapping products; operates a facility on
the center’s south campus.
Source: Heath-Newark-Licking County Port
Authority
Aerospace & Technology Center,
including nearly 500 employed
by Boeing. The port authority estimates the center has an annual
payroll of more than $60 million
and economic impact of $200 million a year.
Those jobs and capital investments at the former Air Force
site prove the community made
the right decision to fight for the
base’s workloads 20 years ago,
Platt said.
“A lot of people said, ‘Let it go,
take our lumps and not get stuck
with a white elephant,’ ” he said.
“But privatization has worked,
and this community has proven
its ability to retain this work.”
Renewal of Boeing’s guidance
repair system contract is important to national defense and critical to Licking County’s economy,
said County Commissioner Tim
Bubb.
“It would be a huge loss for Ohio
and this community if this work is
not done here,” he said. “Our community relies a great deal on Boe-
ing and the other contractors. ...
There is nothing more important
for us from an economic development standpoint than Boeing
staying here.”
The expiring contract for the
guidance and navigation repair
work includes the same Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic
missiles and aircraft such as the
B-1 and B-52 bombers that the
base worked on prior to privatization. The aircraft mix also includes
F-15 and F-16 fighters and C-130
transports.
Such so-called legacy equipment remains part of the Air
Force’s fleet, so the need for maintenance and repairs continues,
said Ellen Power, Boeing’s director
at the Heath center.
“These systems still have to run,”
she said.
Boeing is also trying to get
answers about the impact on its
business from the mandatory
defense spending cuts that went
into effect March 1 because of the
federal sequester.
“We’re waiting for the government to come back and say where
it will make cuts,” Power said.
“Our customers are not telling
us anything. Everybody is pretty
much waiting.”
Boeing has taken on new
workloads in Heath over the years,
including radio frequency antenna
processors for the Airborne Warning and Control System in 2007
and a new repair line in 2012 for
the navigation system used in U.S.
Navy Trident submarines.
The company is also pursuing
other military contracts such as
more radio frequency antenna
repairs and upgrades, Navy navigation system maintenance and
repairs, upgrades to aerospace
support equipment and missile
electronics and components.
“We can perform any similar
work for other agencies and
the private sector,” said Boeing
spokeswoman Elizabeth Merida
in an email. “We have not experienced any issues in the past when
bringing in new workloads (to
Heath).”

ADVISORY BOARD
CULTIVATING INTELLIGENCE TO HELP YOUR BUSINESS GROW
EXCHANGE
AdvisoryBoardExchange.com
What is the Business First Advisory Board Exchange?
History of the Advisory Board Exchange
In 1996, at Business First’s inaugural Fast 50 event, Jeff Wilkins, who at the
time was chairman of Metatec International Inc., gave the keynote address.
Wilkins spoke about the important role advisory boards play in the success
of growing businesses. Business First developed the Advisory Board
Exchange program to provide a no-cost, effective way to link companies
with advisers. Since then, Prism Marketing, Nationwide Retirement Plans
and Thompson Hine have joined the program as sponsors and generously
underwrite the expenses of the Advisory Board Exchange.
Since January 1999, the Advisory Board Exchange has been contacted by
many businesses seeking information about the advisory board concept and
assistance with forming advisory boards. In addition, nearly 200 individuals
have asked to have their names and credentials included on our database of
advisers.
Creating or Adding to Existing Advisory Boards
The process of matching advisers with companies is very simple. When a
company contacts the Advisory Board Exchange for assistance in forming
an advisory board or adding to an existing advisory board, they are asked
for basic information about their company. Shortly thereafter, an executive
committee member follows up with an on-site visit. During the visit our
representative will gather more information about the business, answer any
questions and explain in detail what the company should expect from its
advisory board.
The results of this meeting will help the company identify the types of
individuals who would best serve on their advisory board. It is up to the
company to make contact with potential advisers, set up interviews and
make final selections. Of course, the Advisory Board Exchange executive
committee member will always be available for assistance as a company
works through the final stages of creating their advisory board. And that
help continues on even after the advisory board is in place and meeting on a
regular basis.
How to Become an Adviser
When a businessperson agrees to become an adviser for the Advisory Board
Exchange, they are asked to complete the Adviser Application and forward
their resume or a description of their skills and experience to the Advisory
Board Exchange. This information is housed on our Adviser Database,
which is located on the exchange’s web site. The database is only accessible to
individuals who have received a special access code granted by the Advisory
Board Exchange. Advisers are contacted directly by companies who will
request up-to-date bios or resumes, schedule interviews and make final
selections.
For more information about forming an advisory board for your
company, or becoming an adviser for a company, visit our web site at
http://www.advisoryboardexchange.com. Or contact Melissa Price at
614-220-5436 or via email at [email protected].
