AURORA | The Cherry Creek School District Board of Education is set to consider a wide-ranging review of the district’s nutrition policy during its regular meeting Monday.

Cherry Creek Assistant Superintendent Scott Siegfried is scheduled to deliver the special report on food and nutrition during the Jan. 10 meeting. The presentation comes less than a month after President Barack Obama signed the “Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010” into law. The federal legislation is designed to increase access to healthy food for low-income children, authorizing $4.5 billion in new funding for nutrition programs.
According to Cherry Creek’s Executive Director of Facility Support Rick Collier, Siegfried’s report will highlight the district’s current nutrition guidelines and compare them to requirements spelled out in the federal legislation.

KARACHI: Pakistan is expected to launch mango exports to the United States in 2011 season after first shipments of the fruit were made to Europe last year.
People associated with the mango industry gathered at a conference on Tuesday to celebrate a successful 2010 mango season, which was labeled the best year in the history of the country’s mango exports.
With annual production exceeding 1.5 million tons and demand growing around the world, the mango industry has a big potential for growth, says a press release.
Over the past year, the US Agency for International Development (USAID) helped local producers ship mangoes by sea to major fruit and vegetable importers and supermarkets in Europe. USAID also supported introduction of an internationally recognised quality certification, trained mango farmers in modern techniques, helped upgrade infrastructure and assisted in creating links with international buyers.

BUFFALO, N.Y. Casey Cizikas scored a tiebreaking goal at 17:28 of the second period as Canada overcame outstanding goaltending from Benjamin Conz to post a 4-1 victory over Switzerland in the quarter-finals of the world junior hockey championship on Sunday.
The victory put Canada into a semifinal showdown on Monday night with the host United States, the team that ended Canada's five-year winning run with an overtime victory in the final last year in Saskatoon.
"It's the U.S.," said Canadian coach Dave Cameron. "There will be a lot of emotion but at this stage of the tournament it comes down to how we play, regardless of the opponent."
Louis Leblanc scored 4:17 into the third to secure a win that gave Canada a 19-0 all-time record against Switzerland. Zack Kassian, back from a two-game suspension for a hit to the head, scored into an empty net with 1:59 to play.
Canada outshot the Swiss 50-22, including 23-7 in the first period, but saw Conz make several spectacular saves to keep his mostly overmatched team in the game.
