Top ranking
Financial-services firm Edward Jones, which has locations in Portland, ranked highest in investor satisfaction with full service brokerage firms.
Satisfaction with investment advisors, investment performance, account information, account offerings, commissions and fees, website and problem resolution were measured in the study based on responses from 4,378 investors who primarily invest with one of 14 Edward Jones firms.
It’s the sixth year our of the past eight that the firm ranked the highest in the study, according to the J.D. Power and Associates 2012 Full Service Investor Satisfaction StudySM.
The firm ranked highest in 2010, 2009, from 2005 to 2007 and tied for the highest rank in 2002.
Little Growers Program
Dues Nursery & Landscaping Ltd. announced its plan to expand the Certified Little Growers Program.
Dues Nursery employees went to schools in Mercer and Auglaize counties and assisted 1,500 preschool through third grade students to plant vegetable seeds as a Mother’s Day gift last month.
The company visited St. Marys, Celina East and West, Coldwater, St. Henry, Parkway and Creative Discovery Preschool, but is looking to expand the program for 2013.
Schools interested in participating can contact Mike Dues at (419) 586-1290 or visit www.duesnursery.com.
Tyson Foods Inc.
Tyson Foods Inc. and Cargill Inc. issued statements recently saying the companies do not use “meat glue,” which is used by some companies to enhance, restructure or mold meat into a form that can be cut and cooked evenly.
Critics of the substance say it’s widely used but not disclosed on product content labels.
Tyson and Cargill said their products do not contain certain protein enzymes — Activia and Fibrimex — that critics are worried about.
Gas donations
The Winchester Lady Falcons basketball team will pump gas at the Winchester and Ridgeville Village Pantry locations from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, May 25, as part of a fundraiser.
Firms’ air violations
The Indiana Department of Environmental Management sent notice to Randolph Farms landfill near Modoc, alleging it violated air permits.
Randolph Farms allegedly routed landfill gas emissions from its leachate evaporator through the main flare for more than one hour after the automatic shutdown of the flare on four occasions.
The landfill’s permit requires it to shut down all valves contributing to venting of gas to the atmosphere within an hour of system becoming inoperable.
The firm is being offered a chance to enter an agreed order — including corrective actions and the payment of a civil penalty to IDEM.
ASG meeting
A luncheon meeting for the full board of directors of the Alliance for Strategic Growth will take place from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Wednesday.
The agenda includes the consideration of the WIB plan and the election of officers.
It will be held at the Henry County WorkOne office, 3011 S. 14th St., New Castle.

Natalie Lennartz and Christen Wendel were among 13 students to receive awards.
