Wassup with Wackenhut
SUMMARY:
Bankruptcy, front companies, gov. contacts &
the Elite : Anthrax and public fear for profit.
I don't know much about Wackenhut industries, but I
know they
aren't up to good. Mostly if this school and its
president were invited
to speak in front of the committee seated by Ohio
senator
Voinivich. The Voinivich family has been the primary
contractor for
Ohio prisons, and been involved in many scandals
resulting from it.
(we make the laws than build more prisons)
Being an Ohioan and one convinced of government
involvement in
911 I thought this may help the inquiry.
The school was started only 4 months before attack
and I find that
relevant. They didn't waste time,they did
A FULL ON ANTHRAX bioterrorism drill on MAY 9.2001.

University of Findlay President Kenneth Zirkle spoke
in front of a hearing this week, he was introduced by
Sen. Voinivich(R) in which he boasted of being
the only College of its type. He also stated that
they
have trained 50,000 people,(the good old first
responders)," we have boxcars" he said two
or three
times, "have everything you need for terrorism
training."
Zirkle became the President in 1989,and in August
1999 the TOLEDO BLADE said "the college had
begun
nothing short of a rebirth" ...and that they
just
added a major in "hazardous waste
management" was
added. As well as that the "staff multiplied,
and full
and part-time student enrollment doubled from about
2,075 in 1989 to more than 4,100. Z quotes the
success
to" ...updating brochures, and looking for new
ways to
recruit students."
Other things turn up of interest.

From the University newsletter.
The thing is that people have driven by here
hundreds
of times and have no idea what happens
here,said
Harold Huffman.
The University of Findlay is offering a program in
which local teachers can learn about
the fields and, in turn, present that information to
their students... teachers taking part
in an in-service program at the Universitys
(ERTC)
Emergency Response Training Center on Ohio 12. The
five-acre facility is located just inside the city
limits and is positioned between Bright Road and
Hancock County Road 236. From the road, drivers can
see a few rail cars and some tanker cars and trucks,
but the facility is filled with many other
simulations
that help those in the environmental management
field stay abreast of the latest in training.
Dan Hehr, assistant director of the ERTC and an
associate professor at the University, said the ERTC
has been in existence for about 12 years.Our
focus
here is emergency response for chemical spills,
he
explained. We train about 4,000 people a year.
There
is nothing else like this east of the
Mississippi.
Hehr said having the teachers come through is an
important step in informing the youth about the
numbers of career opportunities that are out there.

IT Group (Francis J. Harvey,acting president and
chief executive officer ) IS BANKRUPT !
January 17th, 2002A new owner of the IT Group looms
on
the horizon, once a bankruptcy court approves.A new
owner of the IT Group looms on the horizon, once a
bankruptcy court approves. The Shaw Group, based in
Baton Rouge, La., has agreed to purchase
"substantially all" of IT, the two
companies announced
Wednesday. The transaction is expected to be done
before the end of the first quarter. Included in the
proposed sale would be IT's facility in Findlay at
16406 U.S. 224 East, which has about 306 workers. For
local IT personnel, the proposed sale would mark the
second time in less than four years that they would
have a new owner. IT Group acquired the former OHM
Corp. in 1998.
http://www.thecourier.com/issues/2002/Jan/011702.htm
OHM's roots began in August 1969, when Robert Kirk
and
his sons, William, Richard, James and Joseph, formed
Kirk Brothers Inc., a general contracting company
which specialized in water-sewage treatment work
throughout Ohio.
The company remained in this field until 1972 when
Congress empowered the U.S. Coast Guard to clean up
oil spills. The Kirk family saw promise in that work
and formed Ohio Hygienic as a supplement to its
original company.
In 1976, the transition to the oil and hazardous
material containment and cleanup field was completed
when Ohio Hygienic became O.H. Materials.
In 1986, O.H. Materials and New Jersey-based
Environmental Testing and Certification Corp. merged,
operating independently as subsidiaries of
Environmental Treatment and Technologies Corp.
(ETTC).
The merger was significant because the once
privately-held O.H. Materials became part of a
publicly-traded company. Three years later, ETTC
changed its name to OHM Corp.
In early 1995, H. Wayne Huizenga gave a boost to the
company when he and the Huizenga
Family Foundation purchased 1 million shares.
The Shaw Group, founded in 1987, provides piping
systems and engineering, procurement and construction
services to the power generation industry.

Fostoria is laboratory for anthrax education, drill
A firefighter in haz-mat gear simulates the
decontamination of Roppe Rubber
employee Pete Duque, who found the box
that may contain anthrax.
(THE BLADE/DIANE HIRES)
BY LUKE SHOCKMAN
BLADE STAFF WRITER
FOSTORIA - James Fenn sat in the basement of Fostoria
Community Hospital,
a cup of coffee to his right and a box of anthrax to
his left.
The coffee was real; the anthrax was not.
Mr. Fenn, a nurse and researcher at Toledo Hospital,
was one of dozens
of people taking part in a bioterrorism drill
yesterday. Authorities simulated
the release of anthrax into the offices of the Roppe
Rubber plant in Fostoria.
Anthrax is a deadly bacteria that can kill 90 percent
or more of the people it
infects.
Its one of dozens of lethal viruses or bacteria
that terrorists could someday
use against the United States.
It was up to Mr. Fenn to construct a fake
"dispersal device" and put it in the
plant for employees there to "discover."
Authorities are accustomed to preparing for natural
disasters and the release
of chemicals, either by terrorists or accidentally,
but they are only just beginning
to learn how to prepare for bioterrorist attacks.
Thats why officials in Fostoria, including the
Fostoria fire department, Fostoria
Community Hospital, and ProMedica Health System,
which owns the hospital,
held their first bioterrorism drill - one of the
first of its kind in northwest Ohio.
The drill started in the hospital emergency room,
where people pretended to
report flu-like symptoms to hospital personnel.
Dr. Martin Pontasch, director of the hospital
emergency room, consulted a
newly written bioterrorism manual prepared by Dr.
Paul Rega, a Toledo Hospital
emergency room physician.
In the drill, Dr. Pontasch and his staff discovered
that all of the patients were
coming from the Roppe Rubber plant and began
suspecting an anthrax attack
after reviewing Dr. Regas manual.
"We have a situation down here," said Amy
Preble, director of patient care
services for the hospital. "We could be looking
at mass casualties here."
Dr. Pontasch decided to announce a "Code
Yellow," and repeated announcements
of the code were made over the intercom. The code
signifies a situation in which
mass casualties are expected.
At the plant, Fostoria firefighters donned protective
clothing, searched the building,
found Mr. Fenns device, and began
decontaminating workers.
Patients then began showing up at the hospital, where
Dr. Pontasch began placing
them into priorities ranging from the
"worried-well" - those probably not
infected - to
the truly sick.
Maumee fire Chief Donald McConnaughy was observing
the drill and decided to volunteer
as a patient.
Mr. McConnaughy, coughing and wheezing like a heavy
smoker, stumbled toward Dr.
Pontasch and his staff.
He was quickly taken back to the emergency room for
"treatment," which in cases of
anthrax exposure involves receiving vaccine.
The problem Fostoria Community Hospital faced, like
most hospitals, is that it had little or
no anthrax vaccine available. So the hospital called
Toledo Hospital, which had its medical
helicopter, ProMedica Air, fly in more supplies.
In the case of this drill, the vaccine happened to be
peanut and plain M & Ms.
Dr. Pontasch said he thought yesterdays drill
went well because "we picked up little things
that need to happen" in the event of a real
bioterrorist attack.
