Two young Perrysburg entrepreneurs are hoping they might have “the next big idea.” Krysten Jablonowski and Hunter Bihn are among nine Bowling Green State University students competing in “The Hatch” on Wednesday, April 10. Similar to the “Shark Tank” TV show, BGSU student entrepreneurs will present their ideas to a panel of investors, including several BGSU alumni, who will decide if they want to help fund the business. Krysten, a junior in the College of Arts and Sciences, is proposing the idea of a dorm furniture retail store, which she calls “Campus Cribs.” The idea came to her as she and a friend were discussing the hassle of moving furniture into their residence hall. Krysten said her dorm room furniture company would sell the furniture and move it into a student’s dorm room. Hunter, who is a senior at Perrysburg High School and a post-secondary enrollment options student at BGSU, developed the idea of a special needle for diabetics. His business idea came from his life as a diabetic and the daily issues he faces with safe, on-the-go Penta students show energy efficient products at Green Day 2013 The latest innovations in renewable energy and emerging careers were highlighted by students at Penta Career Center’s fourth annual Green Day.

His product, known as “DiBi,” is a personal “sharps” container for insulin pen needles. Hunter anticipates this product will improve the lives of diabetics and the safety of those around them by providing an affordable, portable alternative to current pen needle containment methods. The “angel investors” for the program include Jeff Goldshine, Larry Davenport, Rodney Heiligmann and Brian Sokol.

Students enrolled in green energy management, construction, geospatial information systems (GIS), heating, ventilation and air ence will listen to the pitches and find out who receives the funds to make their business idea a reality. The event is part of Entrepreneurship Week at BGSU from April 8 to 12, presented by the Dallas- Hamilton Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership and the College of Business. Of the 80 proposals submitted, only nine were selected. The other participating students and their ideas are: •Alex Boroudi, a Parritt to be recognized at Court of Honor ceremony Michael Parritt, son of Valerie and Michael Parritt, of Perrysburg, will be recognized in an Eagle Court of Honor ceremony on April 14, at the W.W. Knight Nature Preserve. He earned his Eagle rank on October 29, 2012. Since becoming a member of Troop 167, Mike has served twice as patrol leader, as assistant patrol leader and as troop instructor. In 2011, he was inducted into the Order of the Arrow. He has been a member of St. Rose Troop 167 for four years. His Scoutmaster is Bryan Barshel. Michael’s Eagle Scout project involved planning, developing, organizing and leading 19 volunteers in the building and installation of 10 single chamber bat houses at the W.W. Knight Nature Preserve, in Perrysburg. The houses were mounted on 21foot long steel posts. They can be seen on the trail surrounding the pond. The project took 147 hours to complete. Wood County Parks donated 75 percent of the funding, with the remainder of the funding coming from donations by The Home Depot and Fort Meigs Barber Shop. A freshman at Perrysburg High School, Michael is an honor student, a member of the marching band, Symphonic Band, Indoor Drumline and track team. He also plays CYO basketball for St. Rose. After high school, Mike plans to pursue a career in medicine, concentrating in anesthesiology.

The Hatch mentors include Jack Horney, Ed White, Nicole Harris, Nathan Pulver, Art Curtis, Sandy Harsanyi-Murphy, John F. Meier, Paul Hooker, Bob Venzel, Albert Caperna and Craig Dixon. These volunteers have been working closely with the students in a nine-week program to plan and polish their business presentations. “By connecting our students with alumni we are incubating business ideas that will grow into studentrun enterprises in the future,” said Kirk Kern, director of the Dallas- Hamilton Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership at BGSU. The Hatch will be streamed live on the College of Business’ Web site www.business.bgsu.edu. History lecture series continues at Fort Meigs Thurs., April 18 Bill Pickard, archaeologist, will present “A Tale of Two Horses: The Horse Burials at Fort Meigs” on Thursday, April 18, at 7:30 p.m., at the Fort Meigs visitor center in Perrysburg. The presentation is free and open to the public. Doors open at 7 p.m. The lecture is part of the Fort’s Sixty Years War for the Great Lakes Series. In the early 2000s, Fort Meigs was shut down to undergo a rebuilding of the reconstructed fort and the building of a new visitor center. An archaeological study was conducted as part of the project. During the study the burial site of two horses was discovered, the first of its kind on a War of 1812 Battlefield. Mr. Pickard, the lead archaeologist on the study, will explain how the horses came to be discovered, what that tells about the battle, and quite possibly to whom the horses may have belonged. Mr. Pickard has been involved in archaeology for nearly 30 years and has done extensive fieldwork on a wide variety of prehistoric and historic archaeological sites. Although he has worked primarily in Ohio he has also excavated on sites in New York, West Virginia, Illinois and Washington State. In Ohio, he has been involved in still ongoing archaeological investigations at several major Hopewell geometric earthwork sites in the Ross County area, at Serpent Mound in Adams County and at the Newark Earthworks in Licking County. He also was involved in excavations at the site of Ft. Laurens, Ohio’s only Revolutionary War fort near Canton, at Fort Meigs (actually a year and a day during reconstruction) a War of 1812 fort near Toledo and the 1750s era English trading post of Pickawillany near Piqua in Miami County. His special interests are flint reduction techniques and 18th century firearms and edged weapons. He especially enjoys working with the public and has given numerous presentations on projects he has been involved with as well as conducting artifact identification workshops. He has worked in the Collections/Curatorial division on the Ohio Historical Society in several capacities since 1999. The program is sponsored by the Anderton Bentley Fund in memory of Christopher Perky, who served at Fort Meigs during the War of 1812.

Nearby Kyle Bowlby and MacConnell Hall of Springfield Schools talked about the different types of insulation for homes and the meaning of the “R” rating applied to each. Corbin Knappins, a junior from Perrysburg High School, displayed an energy efficient framing design for a home. In auto technology, Tori Bonn, a senior from Springfield Schools, displayed a poster, illustrating the process involved in recycling oil. “Recycled oil is 50 percent recycled oil and 50 percent crude with additives,” she said, adding, that after the mixture is blended, “it comes out the same quality at 100 percent oil.” She noted that using recycled oil helps the United States become less dependent on foreign oil by nearly 1.6 billion gallons. –Jane Maiolo American Legion Post 28 will host a chicken barbecue fund-raiser on Saturday, May 4, to benefit Buckeye Boys and Girls State.
