& TBAISD Health Wellness Spice Up Your Life Healthy eating doesn't have to be boring or bland. Are you avoiding a change in your eating habits because you think healthy food isn't exciting for your taste buds? Adding herbs and spices while cooking will add flavor to your meals and make healthy eating enjoyable. Fast food or processed food may seem tastier than freshly made nutritious food, but usually that is due to high sodium content. Sodium affects our heart health, cholesterol levels, and will dehydrate the body. Instead of relying on salt to add flavor to meals consider other alternatives that help create tasty meals. There are a number of spices that could be considered staples in your kitchen and can be used in many dishes. These include: Bay leaves - used in soups, sauces or stews Cinnamon - works well in a variety of dishes and shouldn't be limited to baking or desserts. Cloves - use sparingly as they can be overpowering. Garlic - all-purpose and can be used in just about any savory dish. Oregano - great in tomato-based dishes like pizza or pasta. Chili Powder - used to add a little spice and can stimulate digestion. Try adding something new to tonight's meal and you'll be pleasantly surprised at how great healthy can taste.

Hey Lori Westman, who’s YOUR Tiger? • Not Miggy. That’s too easy. • No Justin V. Too obvious. • Torii Hunter. Too new to know. • No way Jose. Papa Grande’s so gone… scratch that, he’s back. To a diehard Detroit Tigers fan like Lori Westman, picking just one Tiger is a super tough decision and requires serious consideration. On the other hand, as a devoted Traverse City Little League supporter, she can ramble off her favorite little leaguers in a heartbeat: her sons Matt and Mitch, and husband Donn Westman, coach extraordinaire. Traverse City Little League (TCLL) is a family affair for the Westmans, with their boys “drafted” into baseball at the tender age of four years. Early on, Lori became involved with the sport just being a “mom,” playing catch in the backyard. As the boys became more invested in the game, her role evolved to “team mom,” and then a well-earned promotion to “team manager.” Whether on the job as TBAISD 16-year veteran speech pathologist or on the ball field, anyone who knows Lori knows she’s the ace of organization and structure. So her rapid rise in the TCLL ranks came as no surprise. She originally joined the Board of Directors as Information Officer and was soon thereafter elected as Board President. As skipper, she loves supporting the Little League principle that helps all kids, no matter their abilities, learn discipline, teamwork and physical fitness. “If they happen to become good athletes along the way, then that is a bonus!” Lori’s positive philosophy towards baseball impacts 642 young players on 54 teams and 162 coaches in TCLL each year. Impressive stats, for sure. It’s a year round commitment, which includes fundraising, coach training, scheduling, and more. Not to mention ensuring umps have pads, sprinkling systems are set to run before or after games, and fields are chalked and ready at all times. The Westman family As a high school softball player Lori had appreciation for the sport, and then along came her baseball-loving husband and sons. Thanks to them, she now has borderline encyclopedic knowledge of baseball rules, strategy and history. Vacations often lead the Westmans to MLB ball parks where they add to their impressive pennant collection from around the country. One of her favorites is Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox; and she claims the highlight of her family’s recent trip to Chicago was their tour of Wrigley Field. What? She opted for a ball park tour rather than meandering through the Magnificent Mile’s retail nirvana?! For a gal who loves to shop, that’s proof that Lori Westman is a major league baseball buff!
