Jamestown\u00a0 (CSi)\u00a0 In Jamestown Saturday, \u00a0U.S. Senator Heidi Heitkamp\u00a0 helped honor\u00a0<\/strong>the leadership of Michelle Solensky, Joan Morris,\u00a0Elizabeth E. Kapp and Lynne Tally<\/strong>,\u00a0and reinforced the need to promote policies that help empower women in North Dakota and around the country.<\/p>\n Joining members of the Zonta Club of Jamestown and Stutsman County \u2013\u00a0 a local branch of Zonta International which is dedicated to improving the lives of women through legal, economic, and professional empowerment around the world \u2013 Heitkamp helped recognize four Jamestown women for their outstanding leadership. Speaking about the critical role that mutual support from other women has played in her own career and work in public service, Heitkamp discussed the need to support comprehensive efforts\u00a0that build not just a fairer, more practical work environment for women and their families, but that also reject violence and abuse against women.<\/p>\n Heitkamp said,\u201dAcross North Dakota we are blessed with hardworking women who raise families, run businesses, and help lead our state toward policies that will brighten the future of our communities.\u00a0 Jamestown is incredibly fortunate to have so many women, four of whom we\u2019re honoring today, that live and breathe this leadership every day. But they\u2019re also working to pave the path for women just like them so that they, too, can make a difference. Throughout my career in public service, so many women have lent me their guidance and their strength to help me become a better leader, and that\u2019s exactly the type of work the women of the Zonta Club are working to proliferate. In the Senate, I\u2019ve pressed for the same holistic approach to improve the lives of women \u2013 from making sure women aren\u2019t paid less than men for the same work and setting more practical standards for working families, to ending the cycle of violence against women. And I\u2019ll keep working \u2013 arm-in-arm with my fellow women leaders \u2013 to building a stronger country by empowering women and families.\u201d<\/p>\n Heitkamp\u2019s recognition of the leadership of Michelle Solensky, Joan Morris, Since her time as North Dakota\u2019s Attorney General, Heitkamp has worked embolden policies that make North Dakota women and families stronger and safer, by:<\/p>\n Making sure women get equal pay for equal work: Since joining the Senate, Providing a more practical workplace environment for working families: Last\u00a0month, Heitkamp added her support to legislation that would make sure working families have the flexibility they need to care for their loved ones without risking their jobs. The Family and Medical Insurance Leave (FAMILY) Act would help employees earn partial paid leave in the event of a serious health condition or family event without adding to the federal budget. Currently, less than 35 percent\u00a0of North Dakota\u2019s working adults can take or afford unpaid leave, while about 46\u00a0percent\u00a0of the state\u2019s private-sector workforce can\u2019t earn a single paid sick day.<\/p>\n Combating violence against women: Since joining the Senate, Heitkamp has\u00a0built on her work as Attorney General to combat domestic violence and stop those who seek to harm adults and children. The first bill she co-sponsored was the reauthorization of VAWA which she then played a key role in pushing through Congress. Heitkamp authored a key provision in VAWA to address the continuing crisis of violence against women in tribal communities. The provision strengthens the existing programs and provides tribal governments the force they need to prosecute non-Indian perpetrators who commit these crimes on tribal land.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Valley City (CSi) \u00a0Gov.

The University recently selected a new partner to provide dining and catering services and the transformation of those programs is already underway.<\/p>\n The University has partnered with Sodexo, a world leader in on-site service solutions for schools, universities, healthcare facilities and corporate offices, to manage its retail dining, resident dining and catering programs for the next 15 years.<\/p>\n As enrollment at the private liberal arts university has continued to rise, administrators have looked for ways to ensure the campus evolves with the needs of the community, including striving to create one of the top dining programs in the region. The change in dining service providers came in response to the University\u2019s desire to provide the high-quality fare, easy access to nutrition information, wide selection of healthful options and support in addressing special dietary needs that students desire.<\/p>\n Sodexo offers extensive health and wellness resources, including its award-winning Mindful program, which emphasizes healthy cooking techniques that maximize flavor while minimizing calories, fat and sodium. In addition, students will soon be able to scan barcodes on menus with their smartphones to quickly gain access to nutrition information. Information on most menu items can also be located using the popular MyFitnessPal mobile application. The company also provides additional support for those with special dietary needs, with a registered dietician available to answer questions or offer guidance.<\/p>\n University of Jamestown President Robert Badal, says “It is important to us that our students enjoy an excellent on-campus experience. Campus dining is an important part of that experience. We feel Sodexo will provide the quality campus dining program that our students deserve, and we welcome them to campus.<\/p>\n One very important aspect of the dining program at University of Jamestown is catering. The University welcomes students, faculty, staff, as well as, off-campus businesses, organizations, members of our community and surrounding communities, to many catered events throughout the year. The University of Jamestown also hosts numerous camps and conferences on campus when classes are not in session.<\/p>\n One of the primary reasons for choosing Sodexo was the company\u2019s experience in this area and its ability to elevate the University\u2019s catering program by infusing it with culinary talent and expertise. With this new partnership, the University intends to devote far more resources to creating and maintaining an exceptional catering program.<\/p>\n The University of Jamestown\u2019s catering program will be supported by a new executive chef and lead catering manager. Through Sodexo\u2019s industry-leading Flavours Catering Program, their new expanded menus, featuring the most on-trend dishes and seasonal specials, will make it easy for clients to find the perfect items for any event. Sodexo also offers online ordering capabilities to simplify the process of placing and tracking catering orders.<\/p>\n To highlight the new and improved catering program, Sodexo will host an open house at the beginning of each fall and spring semester, inviting campus constituents and members of the local community to come sample the latest menu offerings and learn more about the packages and services available.<\/p>\n
