Chartwells School Dining Services Sponsors Cooking up Change Healthy Cooking Contest
WASHINGTON, DC--(Marketwire - May 24, 2012) - This week in our nations capital, Chartwells School Dining Services, participated as a platinum sponsor and a judge in the annual National Cooking up Change® healthy cooking contest. Cooking up Change® is a cooking competition created by the Healthy Schools Campaign that challenges teams of high school students to create healthy, great-tasting school meals that exceed current USDA standards as well as the gold standard of the HealthierUS School Challenge, using ingredients commonly available to food service that can be easily prepared in a school kitchen.
Student chefs from Chicago, Denver, Jacksonville, Santa Ana, St. Louis, and Winston-Salem presented their healthy school lunches before a prestigious panel of judges for consideration as the best healthy school lunch in the nation. Karen Duncan, wife of Secretary of Education Arne Duncan and Christie Vilsack, wife of Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack, served as Cooking up Change® Honorary National co-chairs. Duncan also served as a judge for the contest.
The team from Valley High School, Santa Ana, CA won with their menu of lemon and spinach chicken with Tuscan bean salad and cinnamon poached pears. Winning honorable mention was the team from Chicago Public Schools (CPS) with their oven-fried chicken, Cousins collard greens & cabbage, and sweet potato salad. The team from Chicago Vocational Career Academy (CVCA), a CPS school managed by Chartwells Thompson Hospitality, also had the recent honor of serving this menu on Capitol Hill last week to lawmakers and staff. Last year, Chicago Public Schools made news with their unprecedented purchase of 1.2 million pounds of chicken raised without antibiotics which was served as part of school lunch menus.
The Cooking up Change contest engages students in the national dialogue about school food, policy and resources that would make it possible for all children to have access to lunches as nutritious and appealing as those created in the contest. It challenges students to create a healthy school lunch with affordable ingredients, comparable to those found in dining centers across the country.
We are extremely proud of the students who competed in Cooking up Change and are lending their voices to the national discussion on school food, said Rochelle Davis, President and CEO of Healthy Schools Campaign. These students are speaking up to make healthy and appealing school meals like the ones they have created the norm in our nations schools.
The Cooking up Change student contestants found their participation to be very rewarding in these times of school lunch reform, with many of them commenting that it helped change their outlook on their own eating behavior. They were very proud that this experience influenced their families as well and made positive changes to family cooking and eating habits. Chartwells mission is to change the way students and their families view food and Cooking up Change is an excellent example of a program that supports this initiative.
CVCA student, Diamonte B., said, I learned teamwork. I learned to work together, work hard, stay focused. Fellow student chef Sheanice D., said, We learned a lot during this competition -- a lot about the ingredients and where they came from. The competition gave the students aspirations for the future. Well keep cooking from our hearts and believing we can make it anywhere, said Sheanice.
Cooking up Change provides a unique hands-on educational experience for students to engage their peers about eating healthy, said Margie Saidel RD, Vice President of Nutrition and Sustainability for Chartwells School Dining Services, Platinum Sponsor. We are so proud that these amazing kids have the courage to compete and to plant the seeds of change for a healthier life for themselves as well as their peers and families.

Minister Tony Clement Announces Funding to Honour Veterans in Three Northern Ontario Communities
PARRY SOUND, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - May 24, 2012) - On behalf of the Honourable Steven Blaney, Minister of Veterans Affairs, the Honourable Tony Clement, President of the Treasury Board, Minister for the Federal Economic Development Initiative for Northern Ontario, and Member of Parliament for Parry Sound-Muskoka, today announced support of up to $114,863 for three memorials in Northern Ontario to honour Veterans and those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.
It is our sacred duty to remember and honour our Veterans and the brave men and women in uniform who serve Canada so selflessly, said Minister Blaney. The memorials we build today will forever reflect our nations gratitude to the generations of Canadians who allow us to live in peace and freedom. Our Government is proud to support projects that help honour the sacrifices of our Veterans and our service men and women.
Our community war memorials serve as lasting reminders of the courage and achievements of our Veterans and the men and women who serve Canada today, said Minister Clement. Our Government applauds Belvedere Heights, the Sheshegwaning First Nation and the Town of Hearst for taking the initiative to build these memorials to preserve the memory of our Veterans and Canadian Forces members.
Through the Community War Memorial Program, Belvedere Heights will receive up to $50,000, the Sheshegwaning First Nation will receive up to $31,963 and the Corporation of the Town of Hearst will receive up to $32,900.
Belvedere Heights, a long-term care facility that is home to Veterans, will build the Belvedere Heights Veterans Memorial in a park overlooking Georgian Bay. This new memorial will commemorate the past and present residents of Belvedere Heights who served our country in times of war and peace. The cenotaph will be located in a well-landscaped garden area as part of a large park development project, which will include a Veterans memorial walkway around the perimeter of the park.
The Sheshegwaning First Nation will construct the Sheshegwaning First Nation War Memorial in honour of those who lost their lives in the First World War, the Second World War or in Vietnam. This project will involve the construction of a new memorial inscribed with the names of 14 local citizens who served, some of whom lost their lives. It will be located in a park area that includes a walkway and seven benches to represent the Teachings of the Seven Grandfathers-a set of teachings about human conduct toward others: Love, Respect, Humility, Honesty, Wisdom, Bravery and Truth.
The Corporation of the Town of Hearst is making major additions to a monument located in the Soldiers Memorial Monument Park commemorating local fallen soldiers. The current Fallen Soldiers Memorial Monument features a soldier in full modern warfare gear, reaching a hand out to a young Afghan child. Additions to the memorial include a new bilingual plaque, two new sculptures created by the same artist, and two large concrete slabs to receive Canadian Forces military vehicles.
Through the Community War Memorial Program, our Government is fulfilling its commitment to further commemorate the courage and sacrifices of our Veterans and members of our armed forces by partnering with community groups and local organizations to build new cenotaphs and monuments.
Applications to the Community War Memorial Program can be submitted at any time during the year and are reviewed on a quarterly basis. Interested non-profit groups and other organizations may be eligible for funding to build new memorials or to make major additions to existing ones.
