SUN BURN: SOLAR ENERGY IN Northwest OHIO, Part I

By John P. McCartney

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer news@toledofreepress.com

Like most relationships, it started slowly. The two began to get acquainted. There was the usual small talk and some occasional flirting.

In what seemed like record time, they decided they were made for one another. They shared so much in common — mutual interests, a willingness to make the necessary time commitment and hopes and dreams of a longtime future together.

Familiarity led to mutual respect and an intoxicating affection for success. Before they knew it, and without much planning, they were involved in a serious relationship.

They couldn’t see anything beyond the here and now. They had nothing but good things to say to and about each another.

It was the best of times.

But then they hit the inevitable rough patch. They were unprepared for the jealousy that infiltrated the relationship as they began to listen to what others were saying about them. With that doubt came the beginning of bigger problems. They began to see, even focus on, each other’s flaws — a few slight exaggerations, unintentional broken promises and the aggravation of not quite living up to expectations.

Money became an issue. They had spent what they had without enough planning, and it became almost impossible to make minimum payments.

The bill collectors started calling. And calling. And calling.

Rather than tackle the issues head on, they took the easy route.

They never really talked about what was happening. Each would admit feeling a little let down, but there were no real hard feelings. They just accepted the inevitable. They just stopped seeing and calling one another. They split up.

It was the worst of times.

They both knew they would eventually have to deal with everything that had happened. They just weren’t quite ready.

This is the story of Greater Toledo and its courtship of, and investment in, the solar industry.

The Toledo region was committed to upholding its reputation of being a great place to live — well-paying manufacturing jobs, a safe, familyoriented community and comfortable city amenities.

And then the recession hit.

Economic uncertainty

Beginning in 2000, and peaking with the 2007 recession, an estimated 50,000 jobs, or 14 percent of all employment opportunities, were lost in the Greater Toledo area, according to the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS).

The automotive industry was hit hardest. General Motors Co.’s Toledo

Powertrain plant saw extensive job losses from 2000 to 2010 as 4,000 jobs became 1,600. Perrysburg’s Chrysler plant also lost about 2,500 jobs, from 5,000 workers in 2001 to half that many in 2010.

In the retail sector, ODJFS figures show that Toledo lost 9,500 jobs between 2000 and 2010. The state agency also estimates 3,100 Toledo jobs were

lost in “general merchandise stores” in that same 10-year span.

No one industry was to blame; generally speaking, jobs were the victim of increased automation and greater productivity, which allowed employers to produce the same, or often more, product with fewer workers.

Political support

Buoyed by groundbreaking research at the University of Toledo and funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Toledo saw a chance to rebound from its economic woes and become what Dan Johnson, UT president emeritus and a solar industry advocate, called “the solar capital of the nation.”

Everyone and anyone jumped on board: then-Mayor Carty Finkbeiner, mayoral candidate Keith Wilkowski, then-Lucas County Commissioner Ben Konop and councilman Joe McNamara; UT’s Johnson, Lloyd Jacobs, Frank Calzonetti, and Vern Snyder; Regional KAPTUR Growth Partnership’s Steve Weathers and Paul Zito; Lucas County Improvement Corporation’s Shawn Ferguson; Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority’s Kevin Moyer; even Sen. Sherrod Brown and U.S. Rep. Marcy Kaptur.

With financial and civic support — what cynics might call a romantic wooing of the solar industry — Toledo saw the emergence of no fewer than nine solar energy business ventures.

In 1984, inventor and entrepreneur Harold McMaster founded Glasstech Solar to manufacture low-cost, thin film cells on a large scale. At the urging of a colleague, McMaster founded Solar Cells, Inc. in 1990. In February 1999, he sold Solar Cells, Inc. to True North Partners LLC., who renamed it First Solar.

Three years later, in 2002, First Solar launched production of commercial products. On June 3, 2003, First Solar broke ground on its Perrysburg facility and began production one year later.

The company went public in 2006, trading on the NASDAQ market.

On Nov. 17, 2006, the first day of its public offering of shares, First Solar reports its stock opened at $20 a share.

By the end of that same day, a single share of stock had climbed to $28.30, a one-day increase of 41 percent on the initial investment.

Eleven months later, on Nov. 1, 2007, First Solar stock reached its peak: the initial $20 investment per share had become $237.15 a share. A stockholder’s modest investment of $1,000, the cost of 50 shares of stock, had become $11,857.50.

On Nov. 17, 2007, its first anniversary of going public, First Solar reported a market value of $15 billion.

Those kind of short-term returns are unparalleled, and some

stockholders who had gotten in on the ground floor suddenly found themselves rich beyond their wildest dreams. Excitement in the company rose to a fever pitch.

No American business venture has been able to maintain an almost 1,200 percent annual growth rate for any length of time.

First Solar was no exception.

Stock prices began to fall, but shareholders, spurred by McMASTER dreams of even greater wealth, continued to invest.

Excitement in First Solar continued to grow.

In 2009, First Solar became the first solar panel manufacturing company globally to lower its manufacturing cost to $1 per watt. It has since been reduced to 73 cents per watt, and company officials predict the price will continue to fall.

Lower production prices took center stage because the less money First Solar had to spend producing solar panels, the less the firm would have to charge customers.

Its lower prices eventually resulted in increased sales, higher company profit margins and healthy shareholder profit.

Additionally, by crossing the $1-per-watt threshold, First Solar made its energy competitive with power produced by conventional means. Consumers no longer had to spend any more for solar power than they spent for electricity.

At the end of 2009, First Solar also surpassed an annual production rate of one gigawatt. In doing so, it became the largest photovoltaic (PV) module manufacturer in the world before dropping in subsequent years.

It was ranked sixth in Fast Company’s 2010 list of the world’s 50 most innovative companies, behind only Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Google and Huawei (the world’s No. 2 telecommunication-equipment provider), and ahead of corporate powerhouses like Wal-Mart (9th), Nike (13th), IBM (18th), General Electric (19th), Disney (20th) and Twitter (50th).

Fast Company editors praised First Solar for focusing on “one overriding goal: driving down the cost of solar-power modules until they could compete with traditional power. It has used every strategy at its disposal, from newly patented technologies to overseas mass production to vertical integration at all levels of a project — all while managing to sidestep economic landmines and navigate the shifting

policy landscape.”

First Solar also became the first renewable energy company in the past decade to be listed on the Standard & Poor’s 500, widely regarded as the best single gauge of the U.S. stock market. The S&P index includes the 500 leading companies in leading industries of the U.S. economy, capturing 75 percent coverage of all U.S. stocks.

In 2011, First Solar was ranked No. 1 on Forbes Magazine’s list of America’s 25 fastest-growing technology companies, ahead of betterknown, better-financed companies like Apple (16th) and Google (17th).

First Solar’s financial success, notoriety and professional recognition prompted other solar energy academics and entrepreneurs to enter the solar energy industry, and Toledo saw the birth of five other solar industry companies: Soalr Fields, Calyxo USA Inc., Q-Cells AG, Willard & Kelsey Solar Group LLC, Xunlight Corporation and Xunlight 26 Solar.

n SOLAR CONTINUED FROM A7 Solar Fields began its life in October 2002 when Integrated Thin Films, the solar-energy project of McMaster and colleagues Frank Larimer and Norman Nitschke at UT’s Clean and Alternative Energy Business Incubator, underwent a name change. In 2002, UT was arguably the nation’s leading center for research on solar-energy technology.

Solar Fields faced its biggest challenge when its founder, McMaster, died Aug. 25, 2003, 10 months after the firm’s establishment.

In McMaster’s obituary, Michael Cicak, former president and COO of McMaster’s Glasstech Solar and current CEO of Willard & Kelsey Solar Group, acknowledged his mentor’s brilliance.

“There is no equal to Harold McMaster,” Cicak said. “When he speaks, you listen — then you analyze and learn from what he’s said.”

Solar Field ownership transferred to the firm’s investors and it was led

by McMaster’s widow with guidance from Larimer and Nitschke. Helen McMaster ran the firm until it was sold to Q-Cells AG, a Germany company, in 2007.

At the time of the sale, Toledo media reported that Solar Fields’ patents, property and employees transferred to Calyxo USA Inc., a subsidiary of Q-Cells AG. Solar Fields’ investors received $5 million and 7 percent of stock in Calyxo USA Inc. During its five years in Perrysburg, Solar Fields had nine employees whose primary focus was research.

In November 2007, Robert Collins, director of UT’s Wright Center for Photovoltaics Innovation and Commercialization (established in 2006), told Toledo media outlets that Solar Fields’ chief accomplishment was the development of machinery for the mass production of what was at that time a highly innovative style of solar panels that held promise of making energy from sunlight as cheap as that produced from fossil fuels.

Norm Johnston, Solar Fields’ CEO and inventor of the panel-coating technology used at Solar Fields, praised the sale, calling it “an excellent opportunity to be associated with one of the world’s most successful solar companies.”

Q-Cells AG, the parent company of Solar Fields’ new home, was First Solar’s chief competitor for leadership in the global market. Q-Cells AG had grown almost as rapidly as First Solar, increasing production by 42 percent in the first half of 2007. Its annual revenues were expected to reach $1.2 billion by year’s end.

Q-Cells AG was the world’s second-largest manufacturer of solar panels, although its primary exper-

tise was in traditional technology. To gain the competitive advantage over rival First Solar, Q-Cells AG invested in a number of promising new “thinfilm” manufacturing methods, specifically those used by First Solar’s fellow tenant in the UT business incubator.

Xunlight

2002 was a very productive year.

At the same time First Solar was launching production of commercial products and Solar Fields was morphing from Integrated Thin Films into Calyxo USA Inc., a pair of UT professors started looking for ways to commercialize their research in solar panels using thinfilm photovoltaics.

Along with Harold McMaster and his Solar Fields’ team, UT physics professor Xunming Deng and UT visiting assistant professor Liwei Xu, conducted research at UT’s Clean and Alternative Energy Business Incubator. In the fall of 2002, Deng and Xu followed McMaster’s lead and co-founded their own company, Midwest Optoelectronics, LLC. Four years later, in 2006, the firm was reorganized, becoming Xunlight Corporation.

The commercial solar industry was attracting national attention at that time, and after First Solar’s first public offering of stock, Xunlight found itself in the lucrative position of riding First Solar’s coattails.

In its first eight months as Xunlight, the solar energy start-up raised $7 million in venture capital investment. By Sept. 29, 2007, Xunlight had collected another $3 million more in government funding, including a $1.9 million grant from the prestigious National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

Toledo’s emergence in the industry of clean technology was becoming national news. The May 26, 2007, issue of The Economist highlighted Toledo as one of four regions in the U.S. that could emerge “as the Silicon Valley of clean technology,” citing Xunlight Corp. as an example of excellence.

Xunlight’s success was also documented in 2007 in articles appearing in Newsweek and The Wall Street Journal. Deng and Xu’s Xunlight had emerged from UT’s Clean and Alternative Energy Business Incubator as a model of how intellectual capital of university researchers could be turned into successful businesses and regional economic development.

Two months after Xunlight received the NIST grant, the Lucas County Board of Commissioners and County Treasurer Wade Kapszukiewicz announced that Lucas County was making a $2 million investment in Xunlight. Lucas County Commis-

The Other Side of the (Gold) Coin It is odd; 99% of the people I have met who bought gold are not in possession of any. They do have papers which say that their broker works for someone who knows someone else who is theoretically holding gold in their behalf — for a fee.

If I am buying gold as a hedge against a doomsday scenario (as many are), I can’t believe my paper is going to be worth more than “hygienic tissue” in that case.

Call me skeptical, but these are the same people that sold us REITs and derivatives as “profitable and safe investments”.

Personally, I won’t pay $1500 per ounce for a metal which never broke $500 until 2005. OK, in 1980, gold was over $600 per ounce, by 2001 it was down to $270 per ounce — OUCH! If I did buy, I would own the actual metal, so no “adviser” can charge me fees on it. Come on, how much advising can a piece of metal possibly need? n

Solar Fields CEO Norm Johnston invented a panel-coating technology.

sioner Ben Konop said the county took the gamble because “we have a chance to become the Silicon Valley of alternative energy, and Xunlight will be at the front of that charge.”

In a guest column in Toledo Free Press three days later, Karl Rundgren, managing editor and coanchor of FOX Toledo News, sang Xunlight’s praises, saying “it’s hard not to get excited about Xunlight’s prospects,” he wrote, noting the promise of the firm “bringing in $200 million annually” and ”possibly employing 700 people.”

The money continued to flow.

On April 25, 2008, Xunlight announced that private investors would contribute $22.3 million to give Toledo its second alternative energy product manufacturer in the past year. Trident Capital became Xunlight’s third major investor, making a $22.3 million investment.

In doing so, Trident Capital joined Emerald Technology Ventures and NGP Energy Technology Partners, which had invested $7 million of their own money.

On the same day Xunlight got the $22.3 million infusion of capital, cofounder Deng excited the Toledo business community with the announcement that he was partnering with Al Compaan, a retired UT physics professor and longtime Deng associate, to establish Xunlight 26 Solar.

Three months later, on July 18, Xunlight received a $4.9 million grant from the Ohio’s Third Frontier Commission because, with Xunlight Corp. and Xunlight 26, Deng, Xu and associates were promoting high-tech jobs and business ventures. According to a Third Frontier spokesman, the money was earmarked to aid Xunlight in manufacturing.

Not to be outdone, one month later, on Aug. 29, the Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority guaranteed $1 million of a $7 million loan to assist Xunlight in the purchase and installation of a solar-panel production line at its Nebraska Avenue facility. The Port Authority also discussed possibly buying stake in the solar-panel firm. n SOLAR CONTINUES ON A10

A10 n Toledo Free Press n SOLAR CONTINUED FROM A8 The Port Authority board had enough confidence in Xunlight’s potential to vote unanimously to lend Xunlight the money from its Northwest Ohio Bond Fund. In doing so, Paul Toth, the Port Authority’s interim president, said the Port Authority was willing to take on part of the financial risk TOTH and accept stock warrants that would allow the organization to buy up to $100,000 of Xunlight stock at a fixed per-share price.

Should Xunlight default on the $7 million loan, the Port Authority, along with Lucas County and a number of private banks, would have first claim to solar-cell production equipment, software and other intellectual property required to operate the solar panel plant.

Willard & Kelsey Solar Group

Another group of investors, four of who had worked with Harold McMaster in the 1980s to establish the pioneering firms of Glasstech and Solar Cells, joined forces in 2008 to create Willard & Kelsey Solar Group LLC. They intended the company to

build upon McMaster’s solar energy developments while moving current technology to a higher level.

Led by solar industry veterans James Appold, Michael Cicak, James Heider and Gary Faykosh, the Willard & Kelsey executive team raised $105 million in investment capital to get the company up and running. Planned expenditures included $7 million to buy the factory, $7.3 million for renovations and $89 million for machinery.

On July 30, 2008, Toledo media reported that Ohio officials approved tax credits for Willard & Kelsey, whose founders had filed documents with the state detailing plans to develop a Perrysburg plant with 400 employees making low-cost solar energy panels.

At that time, Willard & Kelsey indicated it intended to redevelop Delafoil Ohio Inc., an out-of-business electronics component manufacturing plant on Progress Drive, off state route 25 in Perrysburg.

The Ohio Tax Credit Authority agreed to provide Willard & Kelsey credit against state income taxes worth 60 percent of the Ohio payroll taxes withheld from its employees.

The job creation tax credit was approved to last 10 years.

Mohammad Smidi, a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) official in Bowling Green, said a company executive told him earlier that month that Willard &

Kelsey planned to begin operations as early as August 2008.

An EPA permit issued April 24 indicated the firm planned to make solar panels using a low-cost thin-film technology similar to that used at First Solar. That same EPA permit gave the firm permission to run a 24-hour-aday operation producing 240 panels an hour at the Perrysburg factory.

Company executives also told Perrysburg officials they intended to seek a 10-year, $177,000 job-creation grant as well as assistance with road and traffic improvements.

The tax credits, approved July 28, 2008, were scheduled to begin in January 2009 and stretch through December 2018. A company executive told Ohio that Willard & Kelsey intended to create 400 full-time jobs by August 2011, with employees earning an average wage of $21.25 an hour.

Hopes ran high among Toledo political and business leaders. If Willard & Kelsey successfully executed its plan — and every indication was that its executive team’s extensive experience and presumed expertise almost guaranteed success — Perrysburg was destined to become the global center of the quickly expanding solar energy industry.

Isofoton North America

The most recent addition to the Greater Toledo solar energy industry

JULY 22, 2012 is Isofoton North America, a Spanish solar energy company that chose Napoleon as the location for its North American manufacturing facility, initially scheduled to open in December 2011. Toledo-area political and business leaders responded with enthusiasm because Isofoton’s initial estimates were that the plant could generate as many as 330 jobs.

Toledo Free Press reported a year ago this month that the Ohio Department of Development (DOD) announced that it would provide $15.8 million of assistance to match the European manufacturer’s pledge to invest $16.4 million in Northwest Ohio.

The $15,893,057 in state funds included $7.08 million from the Ohio Enterprise Bond Fund, $5 million from the Ohio Air Quality Development Authority, $3 million in a 166 Direct Loan, $488,057 in an Ohio Job Creation Tax Credit, $250,000 from an Economic Development Grant and $75,000 from the Ohio Workforce Investment Program, according to James Leftwich, director of the Ohio DOD. The Napoleon factory was initially slated to begin operation with 121 clean-energy manufacturing jobs and build up to 330 direct jobs by 2012, according to Angel Luis Serrano, CEO of Isofoton’s headquarters in Spain.

The DOD also projected another 1,000 indirect jobs being created by the Isofoton project in 2012.

Lloyd Jacobs, University of Toledo president, welcomed Isofoton to Northwest Ohio.

“We are pleased that Isofoton looks forward to working JACOBS closely with regional economic development partners and with the University’s multiple research and worker training fronts,” Jacobs stated in a news release.

Paul Zito, vice president of international development at the Regional Growth Partnership, echoed Jacobs.

He used Isofoton’s decision to locate in Napoleon to make his point. He reported that Isofoton’s executives praised Northwest Ohio’s skilled labor force, work ethic, research and development programs at UT, supplier base and spirit of collaboration as their reasons for choosing this region.

DECISION 2012

By Caitlin McGlade

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer cmcglade@toledofreepress.com

Basketball courts gave way to political paraphernalia July 18 as 1,000 Mitt Romney supporters packed into the Bowling Green Training and Community Center for the presidential candidate’s Northwest Ohio appearance.

Several hundred others parked at the Wood County Fairgrounds and attempted to squeeze into shuttle buses at the last minute to catch the former Massachusetts governor’s speech. To attend, guests did need tickets, but they were free and given on a firstcome-first-serve basis.

Following an introduction with country music, speeches by local Republicans and a fervent “Mitt, Mitt, Mitt, Mitt” chant, Romney took the stage and told his audience that he is fighting for the “soul of America.”

“I want you to know that despite all the challenges around the country and all the people that are suffering and all the people having a hard time making ends meet, I’m optimistic about the future,” Romney said. “Things are about to get a lot better in this country; we’re going to get Washington in a new direction in November.”

Gov. John Kasich joined Romney on his Bowling Green trip. At the sight of the two politicians, the crowd erupted in applause and cheers previously matched only by the reaction to Bowling Green Mayor Richard Edwards’ reference to the city’s national tractor-pulling championship while welcoming the crowds.

Kasich told the audience that Romney is the candidate who has “tools to create jobs,” and stressed his own philosophy of reducing taxes, balancing the budget and building a rainy day fund. He drew cheers when he said the state no longer has a deficit and that the rainy day fund has gone from 89 cents — what it was when he took office — to half a billion dollars.

Among other measures, Kasich’s

budget eliminated the estate tax and cut funding for local governments to close the $8 million deficit the governor inherited.

Romney also took on the tax subject, railing against the present business tax policy and regulations he said keep the small business owner down.

Romney criticized President Barack Obama’s record for the first 10 minutes of his speech.

He rejected a recent comment Obama made about personal success.

“I just want to say exactly what he said about it. Speaking of small businesses and businesses of all kinds, [Obama] said ‘If you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that, somebody else made that happen,’” Romney said.

Romney called this an attempt to “denigrate and diminish the achievement of the individual.”

Obama’s full statement about that was: “If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life, somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges … if you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.”

Romney then laid out five initiatives he would take to move the economy along. He said he would take advantage of energy resources, open new markets in Latin America, balance America’s budget and “restore economic freedom” by lowering small business taxes and cutting back regulations. He also said he would give kids and young adults the tools they need to succeed by giving power to parents and students instead of teachers unions.

He then took questions from some of his supporters, prefacing his Qand-A session with a disclaimer that if members of the media asked questions he’d “try and dodge them.” He followed up with a quick laugh. n ROMNEY CONTINUES ON A13

Romney fielded questions about how he would boost the oil industry and how he might help older people receive training for new jobs.

In response, he said he would initiate the Keystone Pipeline to increase domestic oil production. As for job skills, Romney pointed to a program in Massachusetts that offers fiscal incentives to businesses to hire people who have been unemployed for more than a year. The money the business owner receives goes to training the new hires, he said.

Romney touched on a couple of the social issues as well, announcing that he “felt like we’re all Catholic today” in the fight for religious freedoms.

He left his crowd, a mostly middleaged to older white group, electrified and gleaming. As Sandy Barber, the chair of the Fulton County Republican Party, filed out of the community center she told her friends that Romney had a “Reaganistic” quality about him. Barber said she saw Romney speak four years ago but that he is much more enthusiastic and energizing today.

His points, coupled with his business background, resonated with her.

“Seeing him just confirmed how I

felt about him,” she said. “I have confidence in him.”

Business owners Lynnette Bartnikowski and Carol Haas also admired his business background, saying that Obama’s administration has made it tough to operate. Bartnikowski said present Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations would make it impossible to start her heating, ventilation and air conditioning company now. She started it decades ago.

Haas said she wants to pay fewer taxes: “Do you ever write quarterly checks?” She rolled her eyes. “Try it for a while.”

She said she sees no evidence that life is getting better for individuals because more and more customers have to pay for doughnuts at her bakery with checks and credit cards instead of cash.

Democrats rally

But unemployment has decreased statewide and in Lucas County within the past few months. Democrats also point to the rallying auto industry as evidence that the economy is picking up. Lucas County Treasurer Wade Kapszukiewicz and regional United

Visit www.toledofreepress.com Auto Workers Director Ken Lortz hosted a news conference in Toledo on July 18, hours before Romney took the stage 20 miles down the road.

Kapszukiewicz and Lortz voiced concerns regarding Romney’s involvement with Bain Capital while the firm was closing offices and laying off people in Ohio.

“Romney’s values as I see them are putting profits before people,” Lortz said. “There’s nothing wrong with profits; you’ve got to have profits, that’s what makes healthy companies, that’s what creates job security. But it’s the way you go about doing those things and it’s not by offshoring work.”

Lortz said during the news conference that local automakers are setting records now as a result of government loans years ago. He said the companies have since reformed much about the interior of their businesses: employees have taken between $7,000 and $35,000 in cuts, had benefits reduced and agreed to not strike for six years.

Republican Rep. Bob Latta was unable to make it to his hometown for Romney’s visit because of House voting that lasted into the evening. He said Romney’s campaign is, first and foremost, about jobs.

n A13

“The American people have to ask themselves this question: Are you better off today than you were four years ago?” Bob Latta said.

Kelly Wicks, who has owned Grounds For Thought in Bowling Green for 23 years, said his answer is “yes.”

Wicks is running as a Democrat for an Ohio House seat. He rejects the claim that Obama has made times more strenuous for the small business owner. Contrary to arguments that the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare, will place more burden on businesses, he said he’s looking forward to having more health insurance options. The financial burden for him has always been rooted in increasing premiums from private insurers. Plus, he added, many of his employees are younger than 27 so he sees them sticking to their parents’ health care for a few more years.

He has not seen any tax increases since Obama took office.

“There are many small businesses that try to blame [problems] on the Obama administration and it’s nonsense,” Wicks said. “It’s not any one overburdensome rule that is holding our businesses back.” O

HEALTH CARE

Local hospitals improving areas of hygiene, communication

By Caitlin McGlade

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer cmcglade@toledofreepress.com

Officials at Toledo hospitals say they were already seeking to improve areas criticized by a recent hospital safety ranking prior to the survey’s release.

Whether ranked worst in the state or mediocre in comparison, all local hospitals have room for improvement according to the report.

Consumer Reports, a nonprofit marketplace watchdog organization, released the rankings this month, which compared 1,100 hospitals across the country in six areas: infections, readmissions, communication, CT scanning, complications and mortality.

The ratings were based on a 100 point scale, with the highest scoring hospital earning 72 points and the lowest receiving 25 points.

ProMedica’s Flower Hospital took the lead in Lucas County with 65 points and University of Toledo Medical Center ranked the lowest with 28 points.

Mercy hospitals placed in between, with Mercy St. Vincent Medical System garnering 58 points and Mercy St. Anne Hospital collecting 56. In Maumee, St. Luke’s Hospital earned a 54.

ProMedica’s corporate director of quality, Linda Yielding, said the problem comes down to consistency.

“We can identify best practices but then everyone has to know about it and consistently apply it,” Yielding said. “There are certain things like a 15 second scrub of the hub before you inject the medication and yet sometimes people will not do that. It’s the consistent application of it that we’re trying to make sure happens every time — so that every patient gets the same practice. Every hospital struggles with that.”

ProMedica Toledo Hospital ranked on par or above average in most categories, such as avoiding surgical site infections. The hospital saw 10 such infections out of 2,453 surgeries performed between 2009 and 2010. Toledo Hospital also ranked well in appropriate use of CT scans, with only 5 percent of patients receiving double

abdominal scans and 3 percent receiving double chest scans. Frequent CT scans are undesirable because of radiation’s link to cancer.

However, ProMedica ranked worse than the average hospital in communicating information about prescription drugs to patients. Confusion about prescriptions, which often leads to taking too little or too much, is the most common reason for unplanned re-admission, Yielding said.

But she pointed to one of the caveats of the Consumer Reports data: Much of the information reported covers numbers from 2010 or earlier.

Check out ProMedica’s most recent policy about drug communication, she said, and you might find it merits a better ranking.

Patients at Toledo Hospital, for example, now go home with a comprehensive list of medications and dose changes. ProMedica is also working toward implementing a systemwide policy of “teaching back,” meaning that medical staff quiz patients before they leave not only on what they are taking but why, Yielding said.

‘Most recent data’

Dr. John Santa, director of the Consumer Reports Health Ratings Center, said he and his team worked with the most recent data available. He accumulated his information by combing state data, some of which is reported by health officials and some of which is taken in survey form by patients. His study could only include a small percentage of America’s hospitals because 22 states have no laws requiring health institutions to report complications, errors and infections.

The Affordable Care Act changes this in a way by requiring hospitals being paid by Medicare to report central line infections to the government.

But a full year’s worth of data won’t be available until 2013.

“One of the frustrating things here are that the hospitals are saying, ‘Well this isn’t current’ but it’s the most current information that they have agreed to release and if they would be quicker we would love to print more current data,” Santa said.

Drug information

Source: Consumerreports.org

Better <<<< >>>> Worse “We’re used to other industries commonly trying to do as little as possible to provide any information about safety problems with their products. This is how industries deal with these issues. They don’t volunteer information about problems — but it’s disappointing that it turns out to be that way in the hospital.”

Ohio’s hospitals report infections acquired while in the hospital, surgical site infections during knee replacements, cesarean sections and open heart operations. Among other data, they also have to report figures on mortality during heart surgery and information about how their employees prevent infection, according to the Ohio Department of Health.

The Consumer Reports team has been collecting hospital safety data for four years now but this is the first pub-

lication that has ranked the hospitals.

Santa said the Health Ratings Center will continue to add new information as hospitals report the latest figures to the government.

Scott Scarborough, senior vice president and executive director at the University of Toledo Medical Center (UTMC), said he is skeptical of the report’s fledgling nature. The medical center was ranked 18th in the state by US News & World Report Best Hospitals from 2012-13, with 53 percent of surveyed patients indicating they would definitely recommend the medical center to a friend.

Scarborough said the US News & World Report was “more time tested” and covered a larger sample size of hospitals. The magazine surveyed nearly 10,000 specialists and collected data on about 5,000 hospitals.

The Consumer Reports low ranking of UTMC surprised Scarborough because the system typically receives high marks, he said. Scarborough questioned the validity of the report’s data collection process, pointing out that some of the areas were not adjusted for risk.

Yielding had similar concerns about risk adjustment, but said ProMedica puts some “rather high stock” on Consumer Reports, particularly because it does not require hospitals to buy information or submit information directly.

“How can Cleveland Clinic be rated No. 1 in the state on US News & World Report and Consumer Reports ranks it seventh from the bottom?”

Scarborough asked. “It causes us to suspect they didn’t get it quite right on this first attempt.” n HOSPITALS CONTINUES ON A17

Take risk into account

Scarborough would have preferred if the Consumer Reports numbers took risk into account, noting that UTMC takes in the sickest patients in the area. University medical centers take referrals from other institutions to treat more complicated conditions because of their teaching status and the spe-

cialists that are available, he said.

On average, UTMC patients are already taking 12 different medications before they even check in, Scarborough said.

The Consumer Reports survey put UTMC at worse than average in communication about drug information, room cleanliness, appropriate use of abdominal CT scans, avoiding surgical site infections, complications and re-admissions.

Avoiding infection can be as simple as creating a culture more observant of hand-washing. The medical center is still installing new machines that automatically wash your hands with soap and water when you place them before a sensor. Also, the hospital employs one and a half staff members whose job is solely to address the prevention of infection, Scarborough said.

The medical center has focused on effectively communicating drug information since 2010, improving the system by decentralizing the pharmacy department and moving pharmacists to the patient floors.

As for re-admissions, many are planned or are because the patient is elderly and his or her body is breaking down, Scarborough said.

And how about double CT scans?

He said his doctors tell him that taking two scans, one with contrast and one without, often yields more comprehensive results because they can notice different issues with both methods.

The Consumer Reports overview lists excessive CT scans as a major problem in hospitals across the country. While some of the categories in the report are, in fact, adjusted for risk, CT scans are not. And because of the radiation, Santa said he doesn’t think they should be.

Some health officials argue that surveys should not adjust for risk at all because doing so makes it easier for hospitals not to take accountability for hospital-acquired infections and complications, he said.

Santa said he understands that university medical centers see the

Visit www.toledofreepress.com sickest patients.

“It’s not about arguing where the data came from and who’s got the sickest patients,” Santa said. “UT should call Baylor if they have concerns about the score.”

Baylor University Medical Center scored 67 out of 100. Texas does not require hospitals to report surgical site infections, but it does require bloodstream infection reports.

Baylor logged four during 2010. Ohio does not require hospitals to report bloodstream infections. UTMC reported nine surgical-site infections out of 299 from 2009 to 2010 — 130 percent worse than national rates.

The Consumer Reports data took into account discrepancies in available types of data and differing numbers of types of treatments, Santa said.

Santa started with the Health Rankings Center four years ago, after 30 years as a doctor in the state of Oregon.

“I’m afraid I would have to admit, when I was practicing I was like many other physicians in that era and I didn’t know how preventable hospital infections were,” he said. “I’m sad to say that I told many patients that, ‘you know, these things just happen.’ But they don’t just happen.”

He said a patient, regardless of risk, should never get a punctured lung during a procedure or fall while in the hospital. But, he said, the areas in which hospitals tended to perform the worst were related to communication about drugs and hospital discharge.

Address root causes

Mercy hospitals scored both

above average and worse than average on infections. Nine bloodstream infections were logged in and three surgical-site infections out of 171 surgical procedures between 2009 and 2010 at St. Anne Hospital.

Mercy St. Vincent Hospital earned higher scores in those departments.

Charla Ulrich, director of quality at Mercy St. Vincent Hospital, said it is important not to make health care choices based on one survey.

She pointed out The Leapfrog Group as another type of health institution scoring system that Mercy inspects.

The survey’s most recent reports indicate that Mercy St. Anne Hospital has made “some progress” at reducing ICU infections. The hospital fully meets standards in reducing hospital injuries, its steps to avoid harm and preventing medication errors. But the hospital ranked low on “managing serious errors.”

Ulrich said the hospital system looks at all surveys and rankings that are relevant to Mercy.

“Does it drive changes? Somewhat ... sometimes. But overall I can’t say that it is the strongest indicator of the quality of care hospitals provide,” Ulrich said.

Santa said the health community as a whole needs to become better at addressing the root cause of errors and complications and eliminating infections and falls.

“We would acknowledge that we have set the bar high,” he said. “But even the best hospitals are re-admitting 16 to 20 percent with heart attack or failure or pneumonia, and we don’t think that’s a winning score.” O

Friday at The Farr: Klinger’s Club to debut on 14th hole

By Morgan Delp

Toledo Free Press Staff Writer mdelp@toledofreepress.com

What do you get when you mix the fun, festive atmosphere of Mud Hens’ Opening Day with a professional golf tournament?

You get “Friday at The Farr,” the 14th hole at the 2012 Jamie Farr Toledo Classic presented by Kroger, Owens Corning and O-I at Highland Meadows Golf Club in Sylvania.

On Aug. 10, the local Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) tournament will introduce a new “party atmosphere” to its 14th hole in imitation of the famed par-3 16th hole at the Professional Golfers’ Association of America (PGA) Waste Management Phoenix Open at Tournament Players Club Scottsdale. That tournament takes place in Arizona in February each year.

The hole will be called “Klinger’s Club,” after Toledo native Jamie Farr’s character on the television show “M*A*S*H,” and will be part of the Friday at the Farr festivities, which begin at 1 p.m. Aug. 10.

“We want it to be kind of like …

(Mud Hens) Opening Day, where if the game is at three or even if it’s at five, people are Downtown partying in the streets at 12 o’clock,” said Stephen Vasquez, membership development manager at the Toledo Chamber of Commerce and one of the two event organizers. “It’s kind of turned into a Downtown Toledo holiday.”

The par-3 hole will feature bleacher seating for approximately 400 people, an electronic scoreboard and a large concession stand nearby with food and beverages. T-shirts will be distributed to create a “whiteout,” like those at basketball and football games.

Fans are encouraged to cheer, chant and sing at the golfers, like fans at the Waste Management (WM) Phoenix Open do, Vasquez said. According to the Klinger’s Club’s Facebook page, the goal is to make the 14th hole the “loudest and most exciting hole on the LPGA tour.”

Vasquez said “cheerleaders” and “cheat sheets” of player information are in the works to help make this happen.

“If you watch the Phoenix Open, [the fans] are really quiet, but as soon as the ball is hit, they scream like crazy,” Vasquez said. “We’re going to encourage cheering.”

Admission to Klinger’s Club is included in admission price. Daily tickets start at $15 and are available at the gate or Shawn’s Irish Tavern, which is also providing shuttle service. Weekly tickets are $50 and are available at local Kroger stores. Kids 17 and younger get in free with an adult. More ticket information is available online at the web site www. jamiefarrtoledoclassic.com.

Once the last golfer finishes her round at approximately 7 p.m. Aug. 10, the local band Nine Lives will play at the public pavilion as a grand finale to Friday at the Farr. Nine Lives is a cover band that plays everything from Journey to Eminem to The Temptations, said Franz Gilis, the other coorganizer of Klinger’s Club.

Vasquez said Klinger’s Club is an event that many people, not just traditional golf fans, can enjoy.

“If you don’t even like golf, who cares? Just come to party,” Vasquez said.

Toledo exposure

There were many motives behind the Klinger’s Club initiative, including simply offering a good time for fans and golfers alike, Vasquez said.

“It’s one of those things where [the tournament] is not quite at the level of (Mud Hens) Opening Day yet,” Vasquez said. “For most people, the Jamie Farr is … like ‘If I get tickets, I’ll go,’ but we want it to be ‘I’m going to the Jamie Farr this year!’”

The tournament’s net proceeds go to 10 area children’s charities, said Judd Silverman, tournament chairman for 27 years.

“It’s for a good cause,” Silverman said. “Since 1984, the Jamie Farr has donated $7.4 million to more than 100 Northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan children’s charities.”

Silverman said tournament organizers wanted to create a gathering and networking spot for young business professionals and Vasquez and Gilis had the idea to model a hole after the WM Phoenix Open’s. n FARR CONTINUES ON A20

A20. n Toledo Free Press n FARR CONTINUED FROM A18 “What we’re trying to create is a special event for the business community to gather and have a great afternoon of watching golf, while also interacting with fellow business professionals from the area,” Silverman said. “The goal is to get the business community to take the afternoon off and come out and be a part of the hole’s festivities.”

Vasquez said a successful Friday at the Farr will mean more exposure for Toledo, which will help the area attract future events and sponsorships.

“It would be cool if we got a lot of people to come out to this,” Vasquez said. “Even if we increase Jamie Farr’s attendance by one or two thousand, all that stuff builds up and puts Toledo on the map … and shows we can really rally around an event and support it.”

Vasquez said this will show Toledo can support major sporting events and may even help give the area the opportunity to host higher-level events, like the PGA U.S. Open.

“Those events don’t just decide in October to come here in August.

They’re planned a few years out,” Vasquez said. “There’s a lot of factors that go into that decision.”

Among the factors are city infrastructure, potential company sponsorships and a supportive fan base, Vasquez said.

Vasquez said Klinger’s Club will also promote the tournament, the LPGA and the sport of golf in the Toledo area, complementing an LPGA initiative to build its brand.

“Over the course of the last five or six years [the LPGA has been] trying to get its golfers out there more to build

more of a brand, like a Tiger Woods or a Phil Mickelson,” Vasquez said. “Fans will then come out to LPGA events to follow their favorite golfer and not just to follow golf.”

Player participation

The WM Phoenix Open’s 16th hole has often been referred to as “a party where a golf tournament breaks out.”

However, the party began with humble beginnings.

Tom Altieri, 2013 WM Phoenix Open tournament chairman, said the Phoenix Open moved to Scottsdale in 1986, and the lively atmosphere developed naturally when fans, especially college students, started congregating by the hole and nearby beer stand.

In 1997, Tiger Woods hit a holein-one on the 16th, which Altieri said created an electric atmosphere that has grown into a vacation destination that attracts 16,000 people and the world’s top-tier performing artists. One hundred and fifty corporate skyboxes sell for $40,000 each, Altieri said.

What has made the WM Phoenix Open’s par-3 “party hole” so successful is the players’ willingness to embrace it, Altieri said.

“The players themselves have really embraced the energy and atmosphere of the hole and that has really helped it grow,” Altieri said. “In order for it to succeed the players have had to embrace it, and they have, … and they tend to do better on that hole.”

Altieri said players pass out merchandise to the crowd while it sings the fight songs of the golfers’ alma maters, for example. One golfer even encouraged noise from the crowd.

“We had one player who didn’t

want quiet. He was egging the crowd on to make noise,” Altieri said. “The crowd obliged and it was pretty cool.”

Chris Erblich, an attorney from Phoenix who attended the WM Phoenix Open in 2005, said even though he is not a golf fan it was exciting for him to witness the events on the 16th hole.

“As soon as the ball is in the air, the crowd screams, or boos in the case of a bad shot. It’s a loud, party-time atmosphere,” Erblich said. “Some golfers think it’s great, while some have complained the expectation is unnerving, but it’s cool and fun and different.”

Altieri said other tournaments have asked about creating a similar experience he tells them that a controlled environment with communication to players is vital for a successful “party hole.” Altieri said he suggests talking to the LPGA and its players about the idea ahead of time.

“I wish there was a magic formula, but there’s not,” Altieri said. “We’ve worked hard to keep an energy … and make sure the fans understand that these are professional golfers out there trying to earn a living. Fans have to be respectful of the players.”

Vasquez said Klinger’s Club organizers plan on reaching out to golfers through Facebook, Twitter and other connections to let them know what’s coming and ask them to get involved.

Sponsors for the event include Nemsys, The Image Group, Wholehan Marketing and Shawn’s Irish Tavern.

Media sponsors are Toledo Free Press, NBC24, 101.5 FM The River and 92.5 KISS FM. For more information on Klinger’s Club, visit www.facebook. com/KlingersClub. O

Film Review

Nolan delivers with ‘Dark Knight Rises’

By James A. Molnar The Gold Knight jmolnar@toledofreepress.com

Avengers and Spider-Man, move over. It’s time to let the big boys play.

The latest superhero blockbuster of the summer aims to be different and succeeds in every way. “The Dark Knight Rises,” out nationwide July 20, is the darkest superhero film of the summer — maybe ever. Director and co-writer Christopher Nolan has a vision for Batman, and it’s not pretty.

His creative freedom — a seeming carte blanche from Warner Bros. — pays off. He takes the movie and character to places about which audiences only have nightmares.

“The Dark Knight Rises,” the final installment of Nolan’s trilogy, picks up

JULY 22, 2012 n DARK KNIGHT CONTINUED FROM A22 Alfred the butler, played again by Michael Caine, warns Bruce Wayne (aka Batman) that there is “nothing here but pain and tragedy.” Alfred urges Wayne to stay in retirement and move on. He’s afraid his boss is going to get killed. But Wayne needs Batman and so does Gotham.

Not only does Nolan achieve a lus-

cious storyline, his creative team crafts a movie decadent in visual and auditory prowess. Cinematographer Wally Pfister, an Oscar winner for Nolan’s most recent film “Inception,” captures a story for “Rises” that’s beautifully dark.

Composer Hans Zimmer again strikes the perfect note for every scene. Nolan also knows when to cut out the music and let the action play, to chilling effect. The art direc-

tion also stands out.

“Rises” may also be the movie that gives audiences the most bang for their buck this summer. With a run time of 2 hours and 44 minutes and no 3-D, the moviegoing experience is well worth the $10. It may even be worth the drive to an IMAX screen. (It was well worth the drive for this reviewer to a screening in Cleveland.)

Marvel’s “Avengers” and “The

Amazing Spider-Man” are fortunate they were released before “The Dark Knight Rises.” Each have unique qualities and are wonderful movies.

The first surprised many and has become a box office juggernaut, setting the bar impossibly high and earning nearly 25 percent of the entire summer domestic box office.

The second was a surprising reboot that kicked up the emotions and had stellar animation.

But what is surprising about “Rises” is that the bar had been set extremely high for Nolan after his previous film. Did anyone expect a film on par and equal to “The Dark

Knight”? That’s the difference, it seems, from the other summer superhero movies. For this one, audiences expected a lot. And Nolan delivers. /5

Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and action, some sensuality and language.

Toledo Free Press Lead Designer and Film Editor James A. Molnar blogs about all things Oscar at TheGoldKnight.com. Watch him discuss movies on “WNWO Today” on Fridays around 5:50 a.m.

Other movies in theaters

“Ice Age: Continental Drift”: As the fourth movie of the “Ice Age” franchise, it’s formulaic and exactly what you’ve come to expect from the series. And that’s not necessarily a bad thing. It’s entertaining and kids will enjoy. PG. /5 “The Amazing Spider-Man”: Comparing this “amazing” film to the 2002 adaptation, it is inevitable and ultimately refreshing. The 2012 iteration is surprisingly good. Ten years later, audiences are treated to an even better film.

Tobey Maguire who? PG-13. /5
