Weekend doctor: Eating right

Posted by LizGH on March 14, 2020 - 6:00am

March is National Nutrition Month and this year’s theme is “Eat Right, Bite by Bite.” Sometimes it can be overwhelming with what to do first when you want to change your eating habits.

Simply start by trying to eat more variety. You can focus on one food group at a time. For example, think about some different vegetables or fruits you’ve never tried before.

BFR continues regular season indoor soccer, flag football

Limitations to spectators; flag football, indoor soccer tourney cancelled for March 15
Posted by Fred Steiner on March 13, 2020 - 11:52am

In response to COVID-19 and the current order on mass gatherings we have made the following decisions at this time:

1) Regular season games for indoor soccer and flag football scheduled for Saturday will still be played. We ask that spectators are limited to 1 per athlete. We know this isn't ideal but it's the only way to stay under the mass gatherings guidelines while still allowing the athletes to play.
