Jamestown (CSi) – The Daily Bread – Jamestown program announces that the University of Jamestown’s cafeteria operations will provide food for the Daily Bread program. Aramark, the University’s provider of cafeteria services will rescue prepared food and freeze this food for pick up and distribution by the Daily Bread representatives.

The Daily Bread – Jamestown program has been offering free frozen surplus meals at its first location, the Ave Maria Village for about two years. At the Village, these surplus meals have been frozen and placed in a freezer for use by Ave Maria employees. At times, this food has also been delivered to the Salvation Army and Community Action. Jamestown Regional Medical Center is also contributing frozen surplus food on a small scale.

Daily Bread – Jamestown Steering Committee member, Tyler Lamp says, “We know that there is a hunger problem in the Jamestown area. In order to meet this need, we are seeking more food suppliers in the area that will rescue food for freezing. We arrange for distribution of this frozen food by using RSVP volunteers. The RSVP volunteers are very eager to help us on this endeavor.”

“The federal ‘Good Samaritan’ law protects the supplier of this food. The kitchens that prepare this food must be ND Department of Health certified kitchens. The Daily Bread – Jamestown program is patterned on the Daily Bread programs that have been operating successfully for years in Fargo and Bismarck.”

Aramark, Food Service Director, Mark Kneeskern says, “We are excited to begin to supply Jamestown’s Daily Bread Program. I have participated in similar programs in other cities where I have worked. It is a good partnership that allows us to help solve the local hunger problem. We feel good knowing that this food will be used to feed hungry people, instead of being thrown away. The Daily Bread-Jamestown program is very simple for us. We prepare the food for freezing and then place it in the Daily Bread –Jamestown freezer. They take care of the rest of the distribution logistics.”

“We see a large need in the community for this program,” said Lamp. “Our mission is to have all available food rescued and used to feed hungry individuals in the area. We are extremely grateful to Aramark and the University of Jamestown community for contributing to this program.”

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – A Bismarck woman accused of helping hold another woman against her will has pleaded not guilty.

Thirty-five-year-old Shanna Stenehjem (STEHN’-juhm) is one of three people accused of holding the woman at a Mandan home for more than a day in early February and threatening to kill her and her children if she wouldn’t take the blame for drug charges against 43-year-old Timothy Beiers.

Stenehjem is charged with felony restraint and terrorizing and misdemeanor simple assault. Her trial is scheduled June 26.

Beiers earlier pleaded not guilty to felonious restraint and terrorizing and is scheduled for trial May 6.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – State wildlife officials are seeking the public’s help in locating bald eagle nests in North Dakota.
 
     State Game and Fish Department officials say they are looking for the locations of eagle’s nests, not individual eagle sightings. Officials say eagles are actively incubating eggs in March and April.
 
     Sandra Johnson is a conservation biologist with the department. She says the nests are easy to distinguish because of their large size.
 
     Johnson estimates that there are about 120 active bald eagle nests in North Dakota, possibly more.
 
     Observations can be reported by phone at 701-328-6382 or by email at ndgf(at)nd.gov.

He is off to the worst start of his 18 years on tour, and last week he withdrew from the Arnold Palmer Invitational because of persistent back pain.

 

NFL…

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) – An American Indian activist says Dan Snyder’s attempt to assist Native Americans is “somewhere between a PR assault and bribery.”
 
     Suzan Shown Harjo told The Associated Press on Monday night that Snyder is showing the “same arrogance” that he’s shown previously when defending a team nickname that many consider racist.
 
     Snyder is creating the Washington Redskins Original Americans Foundation, which he says will “provide meaningful and measurable resources that provide genuine opportunities” for Native Americans.
 
     He announced it in a letter to the team’s fans and gave no financial details.
 
     Snyder again gave no indication that he plans to change the team’s name. Harjo has been a lead figure in a case that seeks to strip the Redskins of their federal trademark protection.
