NEIGHBORS / Thursday , August 21, 2014 Sand Springs Leader 7 National gas prices still sliding AAA Oklahoma, August 19 2014 – With approxi- mately one month remain- ing before the start of the shift from more expensive summer blend gasoline (September 15) to the relatively less expensive winter blend, the national average price for regular gasoline continues to drift lower and currently sits at $3.446 per gallon. According to FuelGaug- eReport.AAA.com, today’s national average is two cents cheaper than one week ago, 13 cents less than one month ago, and nine cents below the price one year ago. Today’s av- erage is the lowest daily price since February and the lowest August price since 2010. Oklahoma’s average re- tail price for a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline is $3.294 today, a half-cent below where it was a week ago and 13 cents below the price registered on Aug. 19, 2013. “If not for refinery issues at several plants in the Heartland, Oklahomans would be enjoying lower pump prices like most of the rest of the country,” said Chuck Mai, spokes- man for AAA Oklahoma. “Price volatility is unfor- tunately nothing new for Midwestern drivers. Our state averages have been among the most volatile in the nation over the last several years.” From Leader reports [email protected] Ke y stone Foodser vice now provides Anderson with new meal options Fresh, healthy meal options will be on the menu at Anderson Public School for the 2014-15 school year, thanks to the newly an- nounced partnership between the school district and Keystone Foodservice. Keystone Foodser- vice focuses on provid- ing freshly prepared breakfast and lunch op- tions for the students it serves. The com- pany, which will serve approximately 18,000 students daily during the 2014-2015 school year, was recently se- lected as the cafeteria vendor for Anderson Public School. “This is an exciting announcement for our students, faculty and staff,” said Brett Banker, superinten- dent of Anderson Pub- lic School. “Keystone prepares fresh meals based on the tastes of the students, and their burgers and chicken are seasoned by hand and cooked on a grill. The meals are nutri- tious and delicious. This is something we expect our students are going to really be excited about, and we anticipate this is going to be a great partner- ship for everyone.” Keystone began serv- ing breakfast and lunch to the students at An- derson Public School when classes started on Aug. 6th. Lunch includes a full salad bar, stocked daily with fresh fruits and vegeta- bles. Free and reduced prices are available for students who qualify. “Our goal is to pro- vide healthy meals that kids will actually eat,” said Brett Feeback, president of child nu- trition for Keystone Foodservice. “We do that by listening to the kids and by continu- ally introducing new foods. When it comes to a healthy diet, kids and adults have this in common: variety is key.” Keystone’s menu of- ferings include home- made chicken enchi- ladas, honey-baked ham and chargrilled hamburgers made from lean ground beef. Main courses are ac- companied by offer- ings including freshly steamed vegetables and hand-cut sweet potato fries. “Study after study has shown that kids who eat a balanced diet per- form better in school, so we take the work we do seriously,” Feeback said. “We want the kids to leave the cafeteria full and ready to focus on the day. Our meals don’t just taste good – they’re designed to serve as fuel for kids in the classroom.” Keystone got its start providing meal ser- vice at fraternity and sorority houses on college campuses in Norman and Stillwater. The company began serving its first public school at the request of one of its vendors. To- day, Keystone serves more than 30 schools in Oklahoma, and the company continues to grow. “There are some great school adminis- trators in Oklahoma who truly want to do what’s best for their students, and they are willing to think outside the box when it comes to nutrition,” Feeback said. “We are proud to partner with An- derson Public School, and we are grateful to the school board and the administration for their willingness to try something new to benefit the kids they serve. We are already getting great feedback about the food we are serving here, and we are looking forward to always cooking up something great for these kids.” From Leader reports [email protected] Conner’s Classic SUBMITTED Gavin Corbin runs in the Conner’s Classic, which took place Saturday, Aug. 16 at Charles Page High School.
