Amit Keswani, MD Thomas Cabell, MD Temujin Dinaram, MD I n a world fi lled with dietary trends and fads, the Mediterranean eating pattern stands out as less of a diet and more of a lifestyle. Rooted in the traditional cuisine of countries bordering theMediterranean Sea, this approach to eating has gained attention from health experts and food enthusiasts alike over the last decade. At its core, the Mediterranean principles emphasize whole, minimally processed foods that are rich in nutrients and fl avor. Fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, whole grains, sea- food, and olive oil take center stage, while red meat and sweets are enjoyed in moderation. Research has shown that following this style of eating is associated with a reduced risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabe- tes, and certain cancers. Join the UT Extension O ffi ce in Lewisburg on Thursdays, May 30-June 16 at 5:30 p.m. for a three-week journey into the foods and principles of theMediterranean eating pattern. Through this series of classes, learn to incorpo- rate interesting foods and fl avors to make your diet healthier without sacri fi cing fl avor. Classes will include demonstrations, tastings (enough for a light dinner), and hands-on learning. The series cost is $30 and advanced registration is required.

They shared their backgrounds and talked about careers in the automotive indus- try, while emphasizing the traits need- ed to succeed. “Showing up on time, work ethic, personality, and drive to learn will make your life so much easier and give you a leg up,” stated Tim. “Skill can be taught.” Tim is an acclaimed hot rod build- er, National Rod & Custom and KKOA Hall of Fame inductee, race and event announcer, BMX race team owner, podcaster, and former host of Search & Restore on Spike TV. Carrie, is the Sponsorship and Event Operations Manager for FM3 Performance Mar- keting and organizes and high-perfor- mance motorsport events across the country. She also serves as the Mem- bership Director for Ultimate Street Car Association (USCA). “Pick something you want to do, that’s going to make you happy and be fun,” Carrie said. “What you like to do will motivate you, that’s what’s going to fuel you.” The couple moved to the area 13 years ago from Illinois and custom builds are done in their shop. The builds are usually a minimum of 18 months and there is a wait list for their custom services. The couple travel ex- tensively to trade shows, competitions, and other events. They explained other areas in the automotive industry besides being a builder or a technician, such as up- holsterer, marketing, social media, IT specialist, and rendering artist. They reminded the students to try di ff erent things and not to be afraid to fail. “Work out of your comfort zone,” stat- ed Tim. Tim praised the facilities at Spot Lowe Technology Center, saying they were better than some of the trade schools he has seen across the country and that technicians in a skilled trade will be able to “name their price” in the future workforce. He recommended the students take as many technical classes as possible. “Experience means more on paper for people in trades,” he noted.
