Newsletter Published February 15th May 15th October 15th Deadline for Information January 15th April 15th September 15th APPLIED SANITATION COURSE The Applied Sanitation Course is offered annually and is required for all unit managers, key employees and supervisory personnel. Joann Augsburger-Jana, our Consulting Dietitian will present the Sanitation Course. There will be 16 employees attending the class this year, some of which are new to FSC and others requiring re-certification. Re-certification is required every five years to be sure everyone is current on the latest techniques and regulations. Upon completion, certificates are displayed in each food service location. This year will we have a one-day course where the information will be reviewed and the test will be taken at the end of the day. The class will be held at DeSmet Jesuit High School on Saturday, October 16th from 9:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. $50 Recruitment Bonus We are always looking for good employees, and the best source is our present staff. This is even more important as we begin a new school year, as there are always a few that do not return, but there are usually openings throughout the year as well. As an incentive to help recruit new people, we will pay $50.00 to any present employee who recommends an applicant who is hired and completes at least 30 days of employment. DAVE PHILLIPS MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP FUND Food Service Consultants awards ten scholarships annually in the amount of 500.00 each. Any employee with a son or daughter enrolled in one of the 27 area high schools in which we provide food service for is eligible. We have renamed the program the Dave Phillips Memorial Scholarship Fund as he began the program with the following objectives in mind: • To assist our employees with the cost of private education on the secondary level. • To encourage employee parents to transition their children from elementary to private high school. • To assist our company with employee retention and recruitment.

Food Service Consultants was founded in 1985 by Dave and his wife Sue. They started with sixteen units; the company now serves over sixty locations, in both Missouri and Illinois. Dave was an only child of Harold and Maureen Phillips. He started his life living in the small town of Enid Oklahoma. His family moved to Wichita Kansas where he graduated from Wichita High Dave and Sue Phillips School East. He attended Kansas State University and graduated with a degree in Restaurant and Hotel Management. He was loyal to his alma mater and was especially proud when his grandson decided to attend K- State as a student in Architecture. Dave had three loves in his life; his family, his friends and FSC. He was a “gentle man” and always put his wife and children’s needs before his own. Dave and Sue had seven children, twelve grandchildren and three great grandchildren. He especially enjoyed getting the family together whenever possible and celebrating birthdays, holidays, and he especially enjoyed celebrating Christmas. Food Service was a way of life for Dave. He personally believed that the success of the company was due to the wonderful, dedicated and hard working people that he employed. Without them and the company motto “Serving You With Pride” the company would not have been so successful. He also incorporated his contagious high spirits, diligence, commitment to his customers and passion for the business into all those around him. He liked to tell jokes and at times kept things light hearted in the office. Dave truly enjoyed what he did and cherished the friends that he made along the way. Many were proud to be a part of his life and greatly honored to be a part of his celebration of life. We have many great memories to take along in our journeys. CELEBRATING BIRTHDAYS!

The following evening we served their happy hour after the doctors and spouses had a long day of seminars and meetings. Ursuline Academy hosted their Alumni Luncheon. July slows down somewhat and allows us the opportunity to re-group and start to work on new menus and ideas for the 2010 – 2011 school year. We also had the opportunity to serve the Maggie Welby Golf Tournament. August, as always seems to come upon us so quickly. It seems as if the school year has just ended and here we go again. With each new school year, brings our new school accounts. Catholic Education hosted its annual Teachers Orientation at the Catholic Education Campus, followed by Direction Days at St. Louis University High. Missouri Baptist University kicks off their school year with a Back to School weekend of events and the Presidents Reception. Logan College held their graduation celebration in the Purser Center. St. Louis Priory hosted their back to school dinner with an outside BBQ. The next couple of weeks teachers started making their way back to school so we provided lunches for the teachers. With so many to list I don’t want to forget anybody. We also served Incarnate Word Academy’s New Parent Dinner. Visitation Academy hosted their Crescent Dinner which welcomes new students and parents. Nestle Purina held their company’s Family Days at the new Event Center at Purina Farms. They had a beautiful day for this event. Their 4,000 guests enjoyed a BBQ luncheon that we provided. They also had rides, carnival games and other items for the employees and families to enjoy. September started off with a wedding reception in Logan College’s Purser Center. Purina Farms hosted the GSLVMA BBQ which recognizes the Veterinarians in the area.

Villa Duchesne also hosted their annual Grandparents Breakfast and Mass on a Sunday morning. St. Louis University High School started their reunion dinners with the class of 1955 and 1980. As we head into our busy time of the year we always want to thank the individuals at their respected schools for all their support throughout this time of the year. FOOD TALK By Joann Augsburger-Jana The ewest Shakedown on Sodium In an effort to reduce hypertension and the number of strokes, there is a revitalized crusade to cut back on sodium. Americans eat more sodium than they need. We eat an average of 3400 milligrams of sodium per day, which is the equivalent of about one and one half teaspoons of salt. The Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee, which has input into the new Dietary Guidelines for Americans, is calling for slashing the current recommendation from 2300 milligrams of sodium to 1500 milligrams daily. This will be a challenge that we cannot tackle individually. The problem of excessive sodium intake cannot be solved by simply removing the salt shaker from the stovetop or the table. Sodium has become so pervasive in our food supply. It is estimated that 77% of dietary sodium comes from processed foods and restaurant meals. Voluntary efforts to reduce sodium in the food supply have previously failed. Driven by recent research, policy makers are pushing for broad new restrictions on the amount of sodium in restaurant and packaged foods. So, in the meantime, choose foods that are already low in sodium such as fresh, frozen and canned fruits along with fresh vegetables and frozen ones without sauces. Fresh meat, fresh poultry, and fresh fish are also low in sodium along with their freshly frozen counterparts which have not been marinated or injected with preservatives or salty seasonings. Select herbs and spices to enhance taste, but avoid salty seasoning mixes. Read labels to investigate the sodium content of favorite foods and therefore make smarter choices. Do not wait to wage your own war on sodium! Cardinal Ritter Principal Honored Cardinal Ritter College Prep High School Principal Mr. Michael Blackshear was honored at the St. Louis American Foundation’s Salute to Excellence in Education Scholarship and Awards Gala on September 17th at America’s Center downtown. Mr. Blackshear is one of eight educators to be chosen for this year’s award, having served as associate principal for two years at CRCP before being named principal in 2009. AUGUST MANAGER’S MEETING This year’s kick-off manager’s meeting was held at DeSmet High School. Getting an early start to their day, everyone gathered at seven in the morning for a continental breakfast; this wasn’t just any breakfast; it had delicious pastries, homemade sticky buns and even featured a six foot yogurt and fruit bar complete with twenty toppings. From there, the meeting began with updates and information that will be pertinent to the 2010-2011 year. All of the account supervisors as well as Susan Parisi, Maggie Aubuchon and Robynne Backs worked diligently during the summer months to provide a great meeting. Discussion topics included fresh and exciting menu concepts, marketing strategies, as well as introducing our “Going Green” program. We’re looking forward to an exciting year! We would like to extend thanks to Father Wally Sidney and Doctor Greg Densberger for allowing us to hold the event in their cafeteria and to Felicie VandeRiet for being such a wonderful host. • Mike Kumpf welcomed new and returning managers. He mentioned that we were starting our 26th year as a company and we would continue to run our business with the passion and professionalism that Dave Phillips built the company. • Robynne Backs presented purchasing information, bids and pricing for the 2010-2011 year. She expects to see a moderate increase in food cost. During the bid season Robynne and Maggie Aubuchon sampled new menu items that are reasonable in cost, high in quality and foods that we believe our customers will enjoy. They started and will continue to find foods that are less processed and healthier. Many manufacturers are starting to see the need for these items and are spending some time with research and development. • Kathy Hylla and Kathy Robtoy, worked together to collect and provide information on recycling. They presented different ways one could recycle in their accounts, one interesting example is upcycling. Upcycling is when you take something that’s usually thrown away and turn it into something people can use. Please visit www.terracycle.net for a list of products that your school could upcycle and make money doing so. • Kathleen Carapella, Debbie Hill and Carol Marler worked on updating the “Healthy Habits” menu during the summer months. They shared information with the group regarding what menus were modified, as well as some new ideas. Kathleen and Debbie also provided some colorful posters about nutrition for the managers to display on their “Healthy Habits” bulletin board. They also introduced our “Food for Thought” comments binder. This was designed to give our customers an avenue to anonymously express their thoughts and opinions concerning our operation. • The project that we are most proud of was the design of our “Serving Our World with Pride” poster. This is a great way to inform our customers, parents, faculty and staff of the wonderful things our company is proud of implementing. These changes have happened over the last several years and would include but not be limited to the following: ~ We do business with local companies. ~ Our “Healthy Habits” lunch menus are reviewed by a dietitian and feature whole grain bread as well as fresh fruit and low-fat milk. ~ Salad bars with low-fat dressings are offered daily. ~ We listen! Your suggestions and ideas are welcomed. This was truly a group effort with Susan Parisi designing the finished poster. • Carol Marler presented the new pricing information for the 2010-2011 school year. Our goal has always been to adjust the prices only where necessary. • Ann Herides, Maureen O’Donnell, and Patrick Biarkis spent much of their time during the summer focusing on vegetarian menu development. They featured a few of their recipes along with a sampling during break time. A crowd favorite was a vegetarian based flavored chicken nugget, rolled in buffalo sauce, served in a whole wheat wrap. • George Schmidt and Patrick Biarkis demonstrated proper cooking and handling techniques for grilled boneless skinless chicken breast, as well as a vegetarian product, tofu. George gave the managers many ideas of how to menu the chicken breast including using it to prepare some of our new gourmet sandwiches. These sandwiches have been greatly received by the students and the faculty. Our meeting was concluded by sharing a meal to celebrate the beginning of a new year. Our lunch was predominantly comprised of vegetarian selections. Many people were pleasantly surprised to find out how many items they could use in their operations that would meet the needs of people looking for meatless choices.

Eggnog is related to various milk and wine punches that had been concocted long ago. In America a new twist was put on the drink. Rum was used in place of wine. In colonial America rum was commonly called “grog”, so the name eggnog is likely derived from the very descriptive term for this drink, “egg-and-grog”, which corrupted to egg’n’grog and soon to eggnog. “Nog” of eggnog comes from the word “noggin”. A noggin was a small wooden carved mug. It was used to serve drinks at tables in taverns (while drinks beside the fire were served in tankards). It is thought that eggnog started out as a mixture of Spanish “sherry” and milk. The English called this concoction “dry sack posset”. It is very easy to see how an egg drink in a noggin could become eggnog. George Washington was a fan of the drink. His own recipe is said to contain rye whiskey, rum and sherry. It was reputed to be a stiff drink that only the most courageous were willing to try. Eggnog is a popular drink during the holidays, and its social character remains. It is hard for me to imagine a Christmas without a cup of grog, I mean nog. Who knows, in 200 years or so if eggnog will still have the same name. One thing for sure is that it will put a smile on your face, whatever you call this tasty concoction. Eggnog Recipe 12 eggs, separated 6 cups milk 2 cups heavy/thickened cream 2 cups spiced rum 1 ½ cups sugar 1 tsp vanilla ¾ cup Brandy 2 tsp ground nutmeg In a bowl using a mixer, beat egg yolks together with the sugar for approximately 10 minutes (you want the mixture to be firm and the color of butter). Very slowly, add in the rum and brandy just a little at a time. When rum and brandy have been added, allow the mixture to cool in the fridge. Stir the milk into the chilled yoke mixture. Stir in 1 ½ tsp nutmeg. In a separate bowl, beat the cream and vanilla with a mixer on high until the cream forms stiff peaks. In yet another bowl beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg white mixture into the egg yolk mixture. Gently fold the cream into the egg mixture. Refrigerate and garnish with remaining nutmeg.

ALBERICI WINS $18M DEAL FOR SSM DEPAUL REHAB HOSPITAL St. Louis Business Journal Alberici Constructors Inc. has broken ground on a new $23 million rehabilitation hospital at SSM DePaul Health Center in Bridgeton. In July, Bridgeton Healthcare Investors LLC awarded Alberici, an $18 million contract to build the hospital. Bridgeton Healthcare Investors is a joint venture between SSM Health Care-St. Louis, Select Medical Corp. and Frauenshuh Healthcare LLC. The 66,914-square-foot, three-story Select/SSM Rehabilitation Hospital will have 60 beds when it’s completed in October 2011. The hospital, which will employ about 150 people, will provide medical rehabilitation care to patients with stroke, brain injury, spinal cord injury, amputation and neurological and orthopedic conditions. The 60 beds in the new hospital would include beds moved from current rehab units at SSM St. Mary’s Health Center in Richmond Heights and SSM St. Joseph Health Center in St. Charles. Alberici Corp., which is led by President and Chief Executive Greg Kozicz, reported $1.05 billion in 2009 revenue and is one of the largest privately held companies in the St. Louis region. Previous Alberici projects at DePaul include a catherization lab, emergency department additions and renovations 7th floor north renovation and a surgery center. Food Service Consultants manages the cafeteria at Alberici’s headquarters in St. Louis. COPING WITH CHANGE Change happens regularly in our work, home and social settings. Coping with the changes can be difficult. Here are some hints to help yourself and those around you. Relax: When change hits you unexpectedly be prepared to practice relaxation techniques. Deep breathing exercises will help you feel more in control of what is happening with you physically and allow you to think more clearly. Refocus: Develop the habit of looking at change as an opportunity to make things better. Restrain: Practice restraint by turning from the negative. It is well worth the effort to talk of the positive aspects of the change. Rejoin: Turn to your support group/ work team. If you have moved away from their source of support rejoin the group in order to increase support for all as you go through the change process. Remember: Recall the good things from before the change. Work toward incorporating those positive aspects into the new situation.

Mrs. Sinnett says, “I am a product of sixteen years of Catholic education. I look on the position of principal not as a job, but as a ministry and vocation to teach the Gospel message of Jesus to the children. My parents instilled in me from a very young age a love for God and a responsibility to be of service to the Church. They were wonderful role models. I hope that I can do the same for the children at St. Clare.” Congratulations to the following candidates selected by their regional principal colleagues: Ann Davis—St. Gabriel the Archangel, Region 1 Ken Morr—St. Rose Philippine Duchesne, Region 2 Pam Brown—St. Paul, Fenton, Region 4 Peggy Visconti—St. Catherine Laboure, Region 5 Sister Agnes Keena—Sacred Heart, Ozora, Region 6 Debbie Pecher—Sts. Joachim and Anne, Region 7 Sister Joann Kuchler—St. Anthony, Sullivan, Region 8 Elementary administrators will celebrate Ms. Sinnett’s nomination at Our Lady of the Snows during the annual elementary principals retreat on October 14, 2010. Going Green Students at St. Elizabeth Academy in South St. Louis washed their dishes after lunch, part of a long-term plan to make the school more environmentally friendly. Washing the dishes eliminates the non-biodegradable foam and plastic used in throwaway plates and utensils. A number of all-girls Catholic high schools in the archdiocese are participating in the Interschool Ecological Council to promote a more “green” lifestyle on their campuses. Many other Catholic schools are also involved in efforts to help the environment. Secret to Happiness The secret to happiness and well being is no mystery. All it takes is the ability to do the following: Forget. Apologize. Admit errors. Avoid mistakes. Listen to advice. Keep your temper. Shoulder the blame. Make the best of things. Maintain high standards. Think first and act accordingly. Put the needs of others before your own. Forgive. Seem like a tall order? Then try slipping as many of these “secrets to happiness” into your day as possible. You’ll soon be rewarded with a more positive outlook on life. Food Service Consultants is proud to announce that we are putting a special emphasis on “Going Green” for the 2010 – 2011 school year. There are two areas in particular that we will be focusing on. The first is that as a company, we are moving to eliminate Styrofoam products from all of our foodservice programs. We will be purchasing recyclable paper products instead, and will be encouraging all of our clients to move in that direction where possible. Paper cups, plates and napkins will be purchased and used in the cafeteria, with a special attention to using as many biodegradable products as possible. The second area is in regard to single stream recycling and other special recycling programs that are available and could benefit your school or business. Food Service Consultants had been considering “Going Green” for some time now and felt that this would be an appropriate time to do so. We realize that this is a very important and sensitive issue with many people in today’s society and would like to do our part as a responsible company. We have spent the summer meeting with various paper companies in order to find the very best product line, at the most reasonable cost. We hope that these new items will be well received by everyone and that we will all become more aware of the environment and how best to reduce, reuse and recycle. We appreciate everyone’s help and understanding as we introduce these new items in our foodservice programs in the future. We would like to give a special thank you to the Inter-School Ecological Council, which is comprised of a number of local private all-girl schools, most of which we currently serve. They include Villa Duchesne, St. Joseph Academy, Nerinx Hall, Ursuline Academy, St. Elizabeth Academy, Notre Dame and Visitation Academy. There are also a number of religious sisters to thank that have committed their time to help organize and encourage the efforts of these young women. By meeting with this committee over the past year, we were able to receive a lot of helpful ideas in regard to the needs of the students we so proudly serve. On behalf of all of us at Food Service Consultants, we look forward to a great 2010 – 2011 school year and the opportunity to work with you on “Going Green”.
