Tiger Talk Podcast by Northeast Mississippi Community College
Northeast Mississippi Community College President Dr. Ricky G. Ford sits down with Marketing and Public Relations Specialist Liz Calvery to discuss the college's Office of Continuing Education and all that it does to add value to not only the college but the community. Under the direction of Phyllis Colson, the Northeast Office of Continuing Education is responsible for a myriad of classes, courses, events and other opportunities for those wanting to better themselves in a short time frame. As Ford points out, someone may not have 2-3-4 years to invest toward a degree but with Continuing Education, that time is cut down to just days, weeks or even months and helps prepare a person with valuable skills. Ford discusses how continuing education is linked to classes like the Part-Time Reserve Law Enforcement Training Academy and the ever-popular commercial truck driving classes, as well as how continuing education provides training to local hospitality workers through ServSafe workshops and the Radiology Workshop for Dental Assistants. Ford also talks about the Region IV science fair that the Office of Continuing Education is responsible for and a variety of other opportunities that Colson and her staff offer to not only Northeast employees, and students but the community and area workforce as well. To wrap up, Ford gives listeners the Northeast News and discusses athletics, academics, workforce, student activities, and human resources, along with many more important things happening at one of the nation's top community colleges.

Navigating the restaurant industry can be tough for workers involved in it. From constantly changing schedules, demanding, and unruly customers, even A.I. and robots beginning to disrupt the space, restaurant workers are contending with a lot these days. The last thing they need is an organization using their own wages to lobby against increases to the minimum wage, which is exactly what's happening through the ServSafe certification. Talmon Smith is an Economic Reporter for The New York Times, a Harvard Institute of Politics National Campaign Ambassador, and a former fellow at the Center for the Study of Race and Democracy. Much of Talmon's work focuses on labor issues regarding wages, corruption, and racial politics. Alongside previous guest David Fahrenthold, Talmon co-authored the article “How Restaurant Workers Pay for Lobbying to Keep Their Wages Low,” that delves into how the National Restaurant Association (NRA), the largest foodservice trade association in the world, utilizes the fifteen dollar fee from required ServSafe courses to fund their own lobbying efforts. We wanted to get Talmon's perspective on what was most surprising about putting together the article, the legal intricacies of how the NRA set up such a system, and the “benefits” of ServSafe, and if it really helps workers. In a time when restaurant workers, once lauded as essential workers, are now increasingly under pressure to do more with less, this is another episode you're not going to want to miss. So, with that…let's bring it in!

For anyone who has ever worked in the food service industry, the word ServSafe will likely bring back painful memories of some of the most mind-numbing, waste of time online courses in the world. But, as New York Times reporter David Fahrenthold has uncovered, there's a much more sinister side to the infamous food safety software. David's been a reporter since 2000, where he started as an intern on the night shift desk at The Washington Post. Eventually he made his way to the political analyst desk, covering much of the Obama and Trump Administrations. He earned his Pulitzer in 2017 for his investigation into Trump's charitable givings, exposing a web of misallocated funds for personal debts. In his recent New York Times article “How Restaurant Workers Pay for Lobbying to Keep Their Wages Low,” David cracks open how The National Restaurant Association, the largest foodservice trade association in the world, utilizes the fifteen dollar fee from required ServSafe courses to fund their own lobbying efforts. That means the money from millions of frontline restaurant workers goes into the pockets of the lobbyists that are often the key blockers of reform regarding hourly wages, healthcare, and benefits. We wanted to sit down with David today to learn why he wanted to pursue the subject of ServSafe and The National Restaurant Association, the effectiveness of ServSafe, and what this means for the greater restaurant industry. This is a really special episode, one that's important for everyone regardless of position in the food industry to listen to, so without further ado…let's bring it in!

Episode 275: What the New York Times missed in its story on ServSafe by Align Public Strategies
There's a new most-ordered entree at Chick-fil-A. The battle over ServSafe is headed to court. And Red Lobster closes some restaurants.
Today we're talking about adding egg whites to sourdough, the rising cost of eggs, health inspections and the bombshell that ServSafe is funding the NRA's lobbying to keep restaurant wages down. For shame, ServSafe!As always, find us here:https://www.facebook.com/groups/774902433251568https://www.instagram.com/chefbenrandall/ (instagram)https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/in-the-weeds-with-ben-randall/id869521547intheweedswbr.com@wurstharold (twitter)https://www.redbubble.com/people/enzwell/shop
This week on the Extra Serving podcast, a product of Nation’s Restaurant News, NRN editors Holly Petre, Sam Oches, and Bret Thorn spoke about the new report from the New York Times detailing the National Restaurant Association’s alleged lobbying efforts using ServSafe money. Earlier this week, there was a report from the New York Times that accused the NRA of using the $15 ServSafe fee required to take the food-safety training – which the publication alleged all servers were paying for themselves — for lobbying efforts against minimum wage increases. The next day, One Fair Wage released its own version of ServSafe after being a key piece of the New York Times report. The team discussed what this means for the industry and why the report was bad journalism. Next, the team discussed loyalty programs. It seems like with the new year comes new loyalty programs (along with salads), with six chains announcing new or revamped loyalty programs and some even joining the metaverse. The editors discussed what this means in the podcast. And finally, the team discussed the financial situations of Subway and Wendy’s. The former disclosed it would be open to a sale, and with a $10 billion valuation, the NRN editors discussed who would possibly buy the brand and what they would have to do to turn it around
Breaking…..The New York Times uncovered something gigantic!As Walk- In Talk Media is to understand, the restaurant industry is facing a bombshell report that has uncovered a scheme to keep wages low and workers' rights suppressed. According to a New York Times investigation, the National Restaurant Association has been using mandatory food safety classes to force workers to unwittingly fund lobbying against wage increases. The report found that the National Restaurant Association has been using a “mandatory” food safety class to force workers to pay for their own training. The fees for the classes are then used to fund the Association's lobbying efforts against wage increases. The Association has also been using the fees to fund its own political activities, including campaign donations to politicians who oppose wage increases.The report has been met with outrage from workers and labor advocates. They argue that the Association is exploiting workers in order to protect its own interests.#NYTIMEShttps://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/17/us/politics/restaurant-workers-wages-lobbying.html?smid=url-share&fbclid=IwAR3anBB71TgIf15geqLg2aUrLxqX6P0oE4GjxL11hABUp_icUQzXY1j8PL4More to be added soon… Peninsula Foodservice: The Best Beef!

Recently, the New York Times brought to attention the fact that the National Restaurant Association owns ServSafe, the often mandatory food safety course across the country that employees usually have to pay for. This money then goes toward lobbying against raising the tipped minimum wage. Learn more about the current state of the tipped wage as hosted by Rachel Teichman, LMSW and Victor Varnado, KSN!

Live Life to be Happy This is an exciting episode where we get to introduce you to Becca Stackhouse Morson. Becca serves as the scheduler for Stacked Keys Podcast and she does a spectacular job building the relationships with our guests. Becca says she is blunt, honest and upfront—which means that you know what you are getting —every time with her. In her professional world she is an educator and introduces us to the world of Extension services. She works as a Family and Consumer Science Agent in Georgia. Her skills and talents plug into the community partners to serve her community in a friendly environment. We talk about the projects that are close to her heart and those include relationship programming where she gets to begin with middle school kids and talk about ways to handle themselves and be successful in relationships. She works in chronic disease with a program to work toward preventing diabetes and she's thrilled to watch how people can change their lives through more healthy eating and exercise. Another program Becca works with is financial education and she zeros in on learning and understanding your paycheck stub and knowing how it impacts. She works with teens to learn to budget and create solid financial skills. You can catch her teaching lifeguarding, CPR, ServSafe programing, processing tax returns through VITA and so much more. Her education and childhood played a key role in how she prepared for her life in general. We talk about chronic diseases and in particular Crohns — Becca was diagnosed with this invisible disease after a couple of years searching for answers when she was 18 years old. She gives great insight and over the years and she has learned a thing or two. She speaks up for herself and prepares for herself — a skill she says one has to grow and develop. Having a close friend helped her forge the changes she had to make while in college, away from home. Our conversation goes into discipline and where Becca started her own path to self discipline. From being a young athlete to handling her equipment, to managing her education plan through home schooling, Becca learned how to put the life together how she wanted it. An interesting path of conversation is that of being handed the short end of the stick and figuring out how to handle the rough days. Becca talks about her Jiu Jitsu journey and when she decided this was a sport she wanted to embark on—her brother Isaac was a major influence. She also talks about some of the life smacks that put her on this journey. People from all kinds of places were on the mats in Vegas and she saw women involved in ground work and that sold her. She began her journey. She has found this outlet to be exactly what she needs and is found in the 10th Planet system. She's heading for certification in self defense Jiu Jitsu and will incorporate that into her regime. The conversation includes talk of relationships and how she knew she found “the one” and connected and leaned into how to become a couple. There are turning points and she talks from her perspective of deciding how she lives. Becca has always been an entrepreneur and started her own business with Pampered Chef at age 14. From that moment, she forged ahead to earn her way. She talks about challenges and successes. Becca has passions that include travel, photography and lighthouses. You'll hear her talk about those stories and be inspired. She likes looking through a camera lens and catch what is happening because she can see it. She says that her Jiu Jitsu was easier to learn because she photographs tournaments and sees where the hand is going and where the next move is coming. Tune In!

Episode Notes• I'm beyond thankful. I was recognized as the 2021 Teacher of the Year for New Bern High School. I came in second in the district, which is still an honor, I lost a... I don't wanna say loss. A young lady who was absolutely amazing also of district, so I don't take it lightly, I don't take these things like me, I am extremely humbled at every twist on turn of his teaching career that I have all of a sudden. (1:56)• New Bern High School is the home of the bears, and we just went with the Bear Den bistro, we will cook two or three times a week. My students have created the mission statement, our vision state and our purpose. We try to make sure that it's what I know. That every student that I have is not going to call in the arts. I completely understand that, but I also know that they will be productive to society, and the way we do that is making sure they have the job skills and the soft skills that they need in order to be productive to be able to go out and get a job, and the students literally do everything in class, I manage the money, but they oversee it, they do the panel, they create the menu, they send him in us out, they plan everything. I guide them, and I've been so, so, so blessed to have students that wanna do it, I've had students who graduated from Johnson Wales Culinary School and other Culinary Arts schools, and students go on to just do amazing things in college. (6:59)• How many students are in your class? For the Bear den bistro, I have a state cap. I'm allowed 20 kids per class because I have a level one, which is like the beginning, my level two, which is an intermediate class, and I have a level 3, which is like an honors class that I've been very fortunate and I've had kids that once they take their level three courses. After they have passed their ServSafe, I promote to them to sous chef and I get them their own chef jacket with the Bear Den Bistro and their name on their coat. (9:20)• My long-term goal is for us to have a food truck, it are able to do stuff on the weekends and get that work experience and make a little money. These classes, they come up with some of the most creative stuff. This is crazy, but we have our own seasoning line, where we've created our own seasonings. One of our lessons is Century and taste and smell. So we had a seasoning and taste competition where every student creates their own season, so the basalt is the one that I created, and oh my God, I can't keep it. It sells out, so is... And hopefully this year, we'll be able to introduce the two seasonings that our students have added, and it's been amazing. (11:45)• Where I live here in New Bern. We're actually the birthplace of Pepsi which is what we're known for. It's a great place to raise a family. My wife's a principal, my kids at in public schools, all my friends and family kids go to public school, so it's just... It's a great state to be in play, this area is absolutely phenomenal as far as being close-knit and be a community and loving and supporting each other, it's just huge.

We both grew up watching our mothers wash their meats. No, not with soap and water, but with lemon juice, vinegar, sour orange, and other acidic substances. Recently, the USDA came out with an article stating people are putting themselves at risk when they wash or rinse raw poultry, or any meat for that matter. What do you think? Do you wash your meats? For us it’s very much a part of our cultures and to be honest with both us being ServSafe certified we are torn. It is our belief washing your meat is an integral component to the Afro-Carribean, Afro-American, and Latin cultures as well.

Welcome to Blind Abilities, I'm Jeff Thompson, and I am at the Sagebrush convention in Las Vegas and I ran into a fairly new vendor here amongst the senior vendors. I'm talking to Ivan Delgado. How are you dong? Ivan: Alright man, how about yourself? Jeff: Good, good, just enjoying the convention and all of the busy lights and stuff, and noises I should say out there. Ivan: Nice city huh? Jeff: Yeah, and you're from Vegas? Ivan: Yeah man, welcome to Las Vegas, if anybody is listening, come and enjoy Vegas, we love your guy's money. [laughter] Jeff: I noticed that! [laughter] So what got you interested the business enterprise program? Ivan: So about 3 or 4 years ago man, finishing up, not finishing, taking a break from college for certain reasons, whether it was lack of assistive technology or books not being ready for me, I decided to take a break and my lady actually told me about this program. She had a few friends that have done it in California and other states, and she told me, you like to boss me around so you might as well boss people around and try to make money. Yep, a couple years later man, I have been fortunate enough to finally get my own site and I started, originally I started the program. I got my BEP license about 2 years ago. My first site opened February 1st of last year, we just had our one year anniversary, before that we had vending machines at the location I am in. We just, it took a while for the location, the actual location to open up. Jeff: Is there training involved when you first join? Ivan: Yeah, when I first joined, now it's a lot different man, but when I first joined it was pretty intense, what I think is intense man. It was, I want to say 9 months man, and don't quote me on that. Classes started in March and the first three months were strictly just books and learning bi-laws, and how to do PNL's, and marketing, it was pretty awesome man, for someone like me that, you know never had a business, don't have an idea, i was just used to working 9 to 5s. It was very helpful. We did a couple of course through Hadley, Hadley School for the Blind online. We did that and then we did a couple of ServSafe tests here, customer service exams that we had to get. I am fortunate and I could brag about it man, because again, I am blessed man, and I think I am one of the only vendors here in Nevada that does his own profit and loss statement. You have vendors that are paying 200 to 300 dollars to, for people to input simple numbers and again, thanks to those classes, thanks to those three months of actually putting in work man, and understanding PNL's, and little Bi-laws, and stuff like that is definitely helpful man. Jeff: You are your own accountant. Ivan: Yes sir, thank God man! Jeff: You gotta keep the profits up right? Ivan: Right right, that is one way of doing it man, saving money man, all you gotta know is how to work. We know how to work man, it doesn't matter if you are disabled or not man, it's ambition, as humans we hunger for that ambition man. We have it, it is just a matter of if we want it or not man, and a lot of the times we don't want it man, and that sucks, but we are our own worst enemies and our own best friends man, and only we can get what we want man. Jeff: So what suggestions would you have for someone who is interested in getting into the business enterprise program? Ivan: A lot of patience. A lot of patience, hard work. Here in Nevada the process is a little longer due to the lack of operators we have, you know we kind of have to prove ourselves and that is fair I think. But a lot of patience and , just because you're disabled doesn't mean that stuff is going to be handed to us, especially here in the business world man, we have just as much of a responsibility as anybody else. Just keep your head up and be strong. That's it, just stay positive and stuff could be worse and if we are here and you are listening to this podcast, obviously we have gotten this far and the sky is the limit after here. Jeff: So what does Sagebrush bring to you? Ivan: A lot of a lot of information. A lot of people like Mr. Jeff, sorry if, I am bad at names, I think that's your name [laughter] Jeff, but yeah, this man, that working, as a blind community we have to become close man and I'm, the best example man, I don't go out a lot and I don't network but it hasn't changed man, I don't believe in NFB's, and NCB's, and ACB's, I wish there was only one. I don't see for this separation between organizations when really we're all just one, and that's blind. We're all blind so I would love for us to stick together and become one. I think if we become one a lot of people would be aware of both our disabilities, of our business and the Randolph Sheppard Act, again if we advocate be strong, stay positive and network, go out to these kinds of meetings, kind of conferences, I think this could very well be accomplished. There is a lot of older gentleman and ladies that are in the program and it's time for younger generations to step up and I think this is the time. Jeff: There is a lot of wealth of information, they have been in it, they have seen it change, and that is the bigger thing that things have changed and now here you are paving your way, you know, you're two years in, pretty soon you'll probably be leading the show here. Ivan: Absolutely, and those are the plans man, and absolutely, we always have to be grateful to the people that have, that started this man you know, and we've gotten a long ways man, I mean from selling newspapers at Post Offices to you know, having places at Hoover Dam's or at airports, you know that's a huge accomplishment, and that couldn't have been done without the people that you know, are moving on or retiring now. And that is a huge gratitude to you guys, we thank you. Jeff: Well, Ivan Delgado thank you very much for taking your time away from the karaoke. You gonna sing out there? Ivan: No we already did man, I need two more shots, I think these last two shots were on you. [laughter] Jeff: Do you have an email? Ivan: Yeah man, that's ivan.delvilla@gmail.com. Jeff: Alright, well thank you very much for taking the time and just speaking on Blind Abilities. Ivan: Yes sir, have a good day! [Music] Jeff: So if you are interested in the business enterprise program, becoming your own business owner, entrepreneur, check it out with your division of vocational rehab, your State Services for the Blind and see what they can do for you. If you want to find out first hand from Ivan what it is like to be 2 years in, in the business enterprise program, shoot him an email, check it out. Links are in the show notes. So we hope you enjoyed this Job Insights extra, thanks for listening, and until next time, bye bye.

In this episode of Food Safety Matters, we speak to Jorge about: The art of balancing food safety science with common sense and making decisions based on both Food safety culture and how it allows employees to speak up when food safety is at risk Challenges of temperature control, contamination, and traceability while distributing food The importance of working with supply chain partners who are knowledgeable about food safety and take it seriously Why having the most sophisticated, up-to-date technology is not always enough to ensure the safety of food Challenges faced by large food transporters that are not always problematic for smaller, local, or regional operators The importance of using technology properly to ensure the best data and integrity possible Best practices for transporting mixed loads Why documentation and record-keeping are so important for times when technology may fail His thoughts on why food distribution is not a huge target for intentional contamination How the introduction of FSMA has helped make it safer to transport both raw product and ready-to-eat product on the same truck without cross-contamination issues Common transportation issues and the use of trucks that are not fit to safely transport food Working with GFSI to create international standards for transportation and warehousing How GFSI standards compare to the FSMA Sanitary Transportation rule Positive trends he sees with technology, big data, analytics, epidemiology, DNA, traceability, blockchain, and more.
