Page 10 The INDEPENDENT, May 3, 2000 Nutrition Magician captivates students with presentation on food JU D Y HILL/THE IN D E P E N D E N T Two third graders follow precise instructions to create a bird from an orange, part of Nutrition Magic at Washington Grade School. JUDY HILL/THE IN D EPEN DENT Chef Tom Ohling, the Nutrition Magician, enchanted classes at Washington Grade School in Vernonia on Monday. His interactive presentations about eating right for healthy bodies, bright minds and family fun »re a big hit with students. The cafeteria at Washington Grade School in Vernonia was fragrant with the scent of citrus all day Monday. Students wielding plastic knives created parrots from oranges under the direction of Nutrition Magician Chef Tom Ohling. In a 20-minute presentation repeated throughout the day for all classes, Ohling taught nutrition basics, including the food pyramid dramatically rep resented in a cantaloupe carved into a bird on the spot. He emphasized the three Rs for Healthy Magic: the Right Food, the Right Time (the im portance of breakfast) and the Right People (eat with family and friends). The seminars were popular and fun for stu dents at WGS, said head cook Barb Rainbolt. Ohling has been giving what he calls “magically motivating seminars” to students for nine years. Begun as a philanthrop ic venture of the American Culi nary Federation, and called lo cally, The Chef and the Child Committee, the Oregon De partment of Education has funded the seminars in schools for the past three years. Pre sentations have occurred in one grade school per school district throughout Oregon.
