Some medical tips about a
favoritefood TOMATOES.
Tomatoes are a good source of
nutrition. The argument as always
/ been what kind of tomato is better for
you. store bought or fresh off the vine
Boy I love to run out to a field with
some salt and eat a fresh berry fruit
Yes. they are not vegetables at all
Well, as you might guess someone did
some research on this matter of fresh
off the vine or not The data was
collected and the fresh off the vine
still taste a lot better, but the store
bought tomato has almost tlie same
nutrition value as the ffesli tomato
The in store tomatoes do not look as
pretty as the fresh ones do on the vine
Most of the in store tomatoes are
picked before they ripen 011 the \ ine
They are picked green and are usual I >
the tvpe with thicker skin to with
stand shipping The store tomatoes
are also gassed with ethylene, this
chemical is a hormone that is in the
natural ripening process
The data was collected by the U S
Department of Agriculture Their
study showed that the in store tomatoes
had only a small difference m the
amount of nutrition in them when
compared to the fresh vine picked to
die mouth type
The tomato gives about 1/3 of the
daily RDA for vitamin C. v itamin B.
iron, fiber and about I 7 of the amount
ofBeta carotene needed for your body
Researchers feel from present
e\ idence that Beta carotene helps aid
in the prevention of different fonnsof
cancer.
I still prefer fresh off the vine
because they taste and look better
than the store brought tomato. Now
it's time to go. because its going to be
in the mid 70s this weekend and I feel
the ftshtn hole a callin Feletus and I
are going to check my secret spot on
horseshoe lake this weekend I can
only get to it this time ofthe vear as the

Wheelchair Basketball
Comes to PSU Saturday
The community will have on
opportunity on Saturday to watch a
Pro Wheelchair Basketball game when
the Fayetteville Wheel Trotters will
take on the Charlotte Tarheels. Randy
Ward, star player and captain of the
Trotters hopes that the game on
Saturday. Feb 12 will draw a good
audience in order that people will
become more aware of Wheelchaii
Basketball The game begins at 2 p m
at Pembroke Slate University
Admission is free. The game is being
sponsored in cot\)unction with the
Mayors Committee for the Disabled
Robeson County
Ward is also hoping that this will
be an opportunity to recruit players
for the team. He believes that if people
will attend the game, it will help
change attitudes about the disabled
"Just because someone is in a
wheelchair does not mean that person
is helpless." he said Wheelchair
basketball issanctionedasan Olympic
sport and requires a lot of skill mid
concentration, according to Ward
He is very interested in recruiting
plavers because he has experienced
the frustration associated with a
disabilitv He was involved in an
automobile accident in IVO which
lefr hint paralyzed from the waist
(kfrSKonoeJnniie't^
Ward said. "I turned lb drugs and
alcohol. .it seemed to be my only way
of coping. Then I realized thai if I
plaiuted to keep living. I had to make
a turn in my life. I had always loved
sports, so I started looking tor ways to
stav involved even though I was
confined to a wheelchair. The
basketball was a perfect outlet."
Ward is working hard to si tare his
experience with others who are
ontined to a wheelchair, thai they
.vill avoid tlie had experience*ofdrugs
and alcohol
W Iteelchair basketball varie> very
little from regular basketball The
difference in rules ts that in the
wheelchair game, offensive players
are allowed in the lane four seconds at
a time Wheelchair players also are
dribble or pass the bail every two
pushes of the wheels oames consul
of two 10-mmuie halves
"I take the game seriously." Want
said." but I also have a lot of fun "
Ward would k>\e to have Native
Americans who are confined to a
wheel chair to join the team He is
excited about the possibiiMy of playing
sports although in a wheelchair
He is competitive and is trying to
encourage people to find out for
themselves that it is not a side show,
but a real competitive spoil In addition
to enjoying the sport. Ward wants
other people to know that people in
wheelchairs can live productive lives
and are in tact, nodifierent than anyone
else
In the spirit ol competition. Ward
challenges anv team who thinks they
can whip tlie Trotters to come on.
"Anv team who whips us will receive

There's good reason for many in Robeson
County to consider Dr. Frank Woriax as an old
friend. After all, he is a native sort Bom and
raised here and educated at Pembroke State
University. His medical education took him to
Duke University for a period of time, but after
completing his internship and residency there,
Dr. Woriax came back home.
Since 1979, he has been in private practice.
And since March, he has focused his skills
here at Doctor's Urgent Care Centre.
Here, he is able to care for friends, family
and neighbors when they need him most.,
whether if s day or night.
