I know they should be more incorporated in my column and after hearing what went on this past weekend, it showed an example of why it is an important part of our county. For those who don't know, Zach Gault who is a young dirt track racer has MS and will face surgery in August because of his muscle disease. It's very likely that he will not be able to race ever again after the surgery. Competitors and the Harris Speedway themselves put together the Young Guns Dash race at the last minute on Saturday evening. In an effort to show their sportsmanship and support, they even raised money throughout the pits and grandstands for Gault. As for the Dash, Gault went onto start in the front row and leave the fi eld behind to grab his fi rst career win. If that's not a classy move and downright a touching story, then I don't what else can be. Congrats to Gault and good luck to him in the future. As for the other winners this week: Steve Penson (Thunderbombers), Dean Burgess (Renegades), John Price (Young Guns), Nathan Pierce (Pure Stock), Greg Dimsdale (Limited Sportsman), Rod Tucker (Stock 4), Jason Jolley (Stock 8), Andy Mattison (Crate Sportsman) and Jeff Paquin (Front Wheel Drive). Also on the local level, our little programs around the county are showing well at state tourneys. Rutherfordton Senior League Softball already won the state title. They will now head to Florida for regionals. Rutherfordton 50/70 baseball, junior baseball and 9/10 softball were still alive to become state champs this week. In the 9/10 softball, Rutherfordton actually had to overcome a 10-run defi cit at one time before winning a game this past Saturday. NASCAR's top nine team organizations formed a business alliance this past week. Some are claiming that this is the start of a union. This could be the third time in NASCAR history a union has started. The fi rst two times failed miserably. Michael Waltrip, who is one of the main elements in getting this together says that it is not a union. The new Race Team Alliance is suppose to help control cost and take action to represent themselves before NASCAR on certain issues to help the sport. For right now, I am going to see how it plays out. Maybe this is a sign from race teams that NASCAR has gotten too big and too political. While safety is better than ever before, the racing product hasn't been as good over the years. And fi nally, I am not surprised that Lebron James went back to Cleveland. For those NBA fans, I think we all knew he would go back to the Cavaliers at some point, if not fi nish off his career as a Cavalier. At 29, Lebron could very well deliver a championship to his hometown this upcoming season. ©Community First Media OUR PRICES INCLUDE TAX, TAG & TITLE!

WANT TO BUY WANT TO BUY Fruits and vegetables are the building blocks of a healthy diet. But many people do not eat the recommended number of servings of produce. That's especially true among growing children, who can benefi t greatly from the vitamins and nutrients fruits and vegetables provide. According to the latest data from the NPD Group, a market research fi rm, Americans eat a little more than half a cup of fruit and a cup of vegetables per day. This is less than half of what the government recommends. The data is similar in Canada, where researchers at Concordia University found that Canadian adults ages 30 to 60, especially those from lower socioeconomic backgrounds, aren't consuming the daily recommended levels of fruits and vegetables. Anyone who eats roughly 2,000 calories per day should strive to consume between two to three cups of vegetables and two cups of fruit per day. Produce helps to fi ght disease because it contains healthy antioxidants, fi ber, minerals and vitamins. Eating four cups per day may seem diffi cult, but there are many ways to incorporate fruits and vegetables into everyday recipes. • Substitute pureed fruit, like fi gs, pears and apples, for oil in recipes for cakes and cookies. This will ensure the baked goods are moist but with a lot less fat. • Add fresh berries or raisins to breakfast ce- reals and oatmeal. • Add caulifl ower or squash to boiled po- tatoes before mashing them to increase the nutritional punch and fl avor of mashed pota- toes. • Blend fruits and vege- tables to create smoothies for breakfast or lunch on the go. • Bake hearty muffi ns or breads with sweet potato or carrots in the batter. • Mix stewed tomatoes in with your broth soup base to make a vegetable or chicken soup even more nutritious. • Opt for vegetables piled high atop a slice of pizza in lieu of meats or extra cheese. • Divide your dinner plate into quadrants, fi lling half of the plate with vegetables, one quarter with meat and the re- mainder with a whole grain. • Replace lettuce on a sand- wich or burger with a fresh leaf of spinach. While you're dressing your sandwich, add a slice of tomato, too. • Substitute fresh vegetables and fruit slices for chips when serving dips and salsas. Kale chips are growing in popular- ity. • Give children a cup of sliced grapes with their lunches as a refreshing and healthy snack. • Shred vegetables into a hearty "slaw" and top it with a vinaigrette or a typical may- onnaise-based dressing. • Blend other vegetables into your pasta sauce. • Use vegetables instead of pasta in traditional dishes. Layer eggplant slices to make a lasagna. Or use a spiral slicer to slice zucchini or car- rots when making homemade noodles. • Fruit salad is often a refresh- ing snack or dessert. Having fruit already diced in a large bowl makes it more con- venient to eat and possibly more enticing to children. • Make a vegetable roll-up, fi lling pizza dough with broc- coli or spinach and shredded cheese. • Mix together an avocado, 1/4 cup of cocoa powder and 1/4 cup honey to create a healthy alternative to choco- late pudding. • Use pureed vegetables to thicken cheese sauce for macaroni and cheese reci- pes. • Shred vegetables and add them to beaten eggs for om- elets or scrambles.
