Busines roundup
John Hemmelgarn has been named the new director of the Jay/Portland Building and Planning Department.
A 1989 graduate of Jay County High School and a self-employed general contractor since 2010, Hemmelgarn assumes his new duties on March 2.
He will be responsible for zoning administration along with performing building and zoning inspections for the county and the city of Portland.
Patricia McLaughlin, who has been acting director since January, will become assistant director. She had been the administrative assistant under the previous director, Bill Milligan, who retired shortly before his death due to cancer.
OSHA course
Ivy Tech Community College and John Jay Center for Learning will be offering a 10-hour OSHA general industry course in March.
The course covers the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 and issues such as fire and electrical safety, machine guarding, hazard communication, and safety and health programs.
The class will meet Thursday, March 26, and Friday, March 29, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at John Jay Center, 101 S. Meridian St., Portland.
The cost of the class is $255. For registration information, contact Carolyn Carducci at John Jay Center for Learning at (260) 729-5525, extension 223, or email her at [email protected].
Deadline for registration is March 19.
Rate highly
Two Jay County nursing homes received high ratings from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services this week.
Miller’s Merry Manor, Dunkirk, received a 5-star rating for the second year in a row.
Persimmon Ridge Rehabilitation Center, Portland, received a 4-star raing for the second year in a row.
Might testify
Jay County native Mary Meeker may be among the witnesses called in a gender-bias case brought against the firm of Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers by one of its former partners.
Ellen Pao is suing the venture capital firm alleging that the firm discriminated against her in pay and promotions.
Meeker, one of the nation’s most highly respected analysts of Internet companies and trends, joined Kleiner Perkins in 2010. A graduate of Jay County High School and DePauw University, she is the daughter of the late J. Gordon and Catherine Meeker of Portland.
Earnings up
Third quarter profits for Motherson Sumi Systems, parent company of MSSL Wiring Systems of Portland, increased 1.8 percent.
“The strong revenue growth, improved operational performance coupled with prudent financial management has resulted in the company consistently outperforming the market,” said VC Sehgal, chairman of MSSL, in a prepared statement.
