Veggie Tales at Farmer’s Mkt Local growers bring their gardens & stories to town CONNIE ESH Special to the Courier Cannon County Farmers Market is about as close as you can come to "taking a salt shaker out in the garden" to eat fresh tomatoes. Tomatoes, especially, are better when they're homegrown, opines Jerry D. Smithson as he sells tomatoes, summer squash, eggplants and other fresh-picked veggies every Saturday morning at the Farmers Market. "I like a good acid tomato that tastes like a tomato," he says. "Used to, you could go the field and eat 'em right out of the garden. I'd take a little shaker of salt for them." Why doesn't he do that anymore? "I've just started eating them in the house-it's cooler." But on Saturday mornings, Smithson and other local farmers offer that sort of convenience combined with garden-fresh quality to the general public by Polly Campbell reaches to pay for the tomatoes she bringing their produce to the market in the Arts bought from local grower Harold Duggin at the Center parking lot at 1424 John Bragg Highway.

He also faces similar charges in connection with a break-in in nearby Warren County. Dixon’s arrest was one of several different burglaryrelated charges filed recently by the Cannon County Sheriff’s Department and the Woodbury Police. Dixon is a resident of Cumberland County. “I received some information about some guns that had been stolen in Cannon County,” said Investigator Anthony Young. The guns had been stolen by man nicknamed “Porkchop,” Young said. “His real name was Zackhary Dixon. “At this point, myself and Investigator Brandon Gullett went to talk to one of victims of this theft,” he said. The victims of the Cannon and Warren County burglaries were kin. “We found out Mr. Dixon had been friends with the victims of the theft. It was told to us that when he tried to sell these guns they were in the trunk of his car,” Young said. Young and Gullett were joined by an officer from the Warren County Sheriff’s Department in their investigation. “We made a call to the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Department and asked them if they could make contact with Mr. Dixon,” the investigator continued. “A short while later, myself and Investigator Gullett received a call from Cumberland County Sher- Zackhary Dixon iff’s Department and they had stopped Mr. Dixon and he, in fact, had the guns in the trunk of his car.” Not all of the guns were recovered. The suspect said he got afraid and discarded much of the stolen goods. “We recovered five of the stolen guns. He stated the rest of the guns he threw over the bridge of Center Hill Lake,” Young said. Among the discarded guns was a German World War II pistol with Nazi markings on it. That pistol was valued at $2,000. Approximately 13 pistols, long rifles and shotguns were stolen. A safe was also stolen that contained a $5,000 Rolex watch and several valuable rings “Mr. Dixon was transported back to Cannon County Jail where he was booked in with charges including theft over $10,000, aggravated burglary and criminal trespassing. Theft charges in Warren County are awaiting Mr. Dixon,” Young said. In an unrelated case, Investigator Young and Sheriff Darrell Young arrested two men on criminal trespassing charges, preventing a possible break-in.

Just what does the United Way offer Cannon? Through a generous partnership with the Cannon Courier, this week's edition of the Courier launches a monthly column from your United Way of Rutherford and Cannon Counties. Our hope and intent is to inform, present timely information, and to educate the community on United Way's mission in Cannon County. What is United Way? United Way is a non-profit, volunteer-driven organization led by a local all-volunteer Board of Directors. We focus on determining the underlying causes of the most important issues in our communities and work to advance the common good by focusing on the building blocks of a better life; education, income, health, and rebuilding lives. Prior to 2005 United Way of Rutherford County acted as an administrator for contributions designated for Cannon County from Rutherford County and various other United Ways. However, realizing that with this system there were no measurements in place for impact and outcomes for the programs that were receiving this funding, the Board of Directors at the United Way of Rutherford County voted to incorporate Cannon County into their organization. FAYE NORTHCUTT-KNOX Much has changed since Cannon County joined United Way. United Way of Rutherford and Cannon Counties has a long tradition of adhering to very high standards of accountability and transparency as a member of United Way Worldwide. United Way is audited annually by an independent CPA firm and the audit results are reviewed by the all-volunteer Finance Committees and the Board of Directors. As a result of this transparency, United Way can now track partner programs in Cannon County and report back to the community the outcomes of those programs and the impact those programs have on our community. In the coming months, this column will focus on the individual programs that directly provide services to Cannon County and how your generous investments in your community are changing lives in a positive manner. From The Editor Courier Columnist Will there be good dogs in heaven? I don't do a heap of transmitting on Facebook, but I regularly cruise the site because I'm a people-watching person. Some say I'm just plain nosey. But hey, at least I'm paid to be nosey! That's when I saw longtime friend/neighbor Jan Schilling's despondent dispatch about losing her canine family member, Pagola, to "Damn Cancer." Jan's heart-aching words touched my own dog-loving spirit: "R.I.P. Pagola. You were the best dog. Damn Cancer!! I am heart-broken." Her soulful sharing brought tears and triggered my impulse to pen a short piece on Facebook re-asking the question: "Will There Be Good Dogs in Heaven?" … similar to a newspaper column I did two years ago that touched a lot of reader hearts. Within seconds Jerome Daniel Dempsey, another longtime friend, responded thusly on Facebook: "Dogs are truly man's best friend. I sure hope my 'Lucky' is safe and sound somewhere here on earth. If not, I know Lucky is in heaven." Engineer Dempsey's response helped trigger requests from people in multiple states asking me to re-run my column from years' past asking "Will there be good dogs in Heaven?" A picture is posted of Lucky, in case you've seen Dempsey's lost family member. The key word asking about dogs in heaven may be good, according to Cannon County country boy philosopher (the late) C.L. Vickers. "I know my two best coon-hunting dawgs are up there wait'en on me," C.L. prophesied from behind the galluses of his best starched and ironed Liberty overalls. "But….." That proved to be a big but that C.L. added: "But there ain't no egg-sucking dogs in heaven." Woodbury Mayor Harold Patrick can vouch that those were the exact words from C.L.'s mouth before our mutual friend died in 2001 to join his coon dogs. World-acclaimed evangelist Billy Graham once sermonized the opinion there are canines in the clouds. And country preacher man A.C. Sullivant eulogized the opinion from his pulpit that Hitler, my loyal old farm Whittle’s Words dog of youth, was up in Of Wisdom heaven DAN WHITTLE walking beside my deceased father as they checked on how the corn crop was growing. And I put C.L. Vickers' opinion right up there with Reverends Graham and Sullivant. Will you take Mark Twain's word for it? "Heaven goes by favor. If it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in." Will Rogers spoke about it too: "If there are no dogs in heaven, then when I die, I want to go where they went." Notable Murfreesboro historian/author Shirley Ann Farris Jones did some research on the dogs in heaven question: "I asked Presbyterian Minister Ralph Lewellyn, 'Would my dog Annie be in heaven?' He assured me Annie was in heaven. I then asked: 'Will the woman who poisoned my dog be in heaven? Not receiving assurance that she would go the opposite direction, my friends and I egged her house each Halloween!" My original dogs in heaven inquiring column was triggered a few years ago when Smyrna Lions Club member Ken Love interrupted one of my story-telling sessions with a question about whether there will be good dogs in heaven. After 20 minutes of sincere debate Ken left the building, but not before sharing he thought there will be good dogs in heaven. Two days later neighbor Ken Love died of heart failure. Then, a day after Ken's passing, his beloved dog died too. It was the right thing to do when Ken's grieving family placed the puppy In Ken's casket before burial. "It was what husband Ken would want," shared Linda Love. The Rev. I.N. Sheffield, who has a doctorate in theology, shared this Biblical opinion: "There are passages indicating there are other animals in heaven … as in horses and lions, for example … so I see no reason why there won't be good dogs in heaven." Busy week results in projects finally coming to fruition It's been a busy week in Woodbury. A number of projects seem to be finally coming together like the new Farmer's Market stand at the Arts Center of Cannon County. Federal grants are paying for the structure, but it took the Cannon County Commission awhile to approve the project. Why? The crazy rain during July slowed approval. A commission vote was delayed until mid-July due to the objections of a couple of commissioners. Those guys were upset because the recent high-water on Stones River flooded a goodly section of the land next to the Arts Center. Commissioner Russell Reed led the debate against the Farmer's Market, protesting that the site adjacent to the Arts Center of Cannon County was prone to flooding. "The federal government has paid for it," said Commissioner Kevin George. "If we get to use that maybe 10 years, five years or two years it's worth it." Commissioner Jim Bush agreed with Reed about the site. "I have a problem with where we are building it. Move it up the hill," Bush said. The shed will be built on a concrete slab with metal roof. The materials for the structure had been delivered before July 13 The commission voted 7-2-1 with Bush and Reed voting no and Kevin Mooneyham absent. At deadline, contractors were busy preparing the site for construction. It is located next to the Arts Center parking lot and nearly within spitting distance of the center's building. *** Speaking of the County Commission, that group will convene at 5 p.m. Tuesday to approve Cannon County's budget and set the tax rate for 2013/2014. Part of that budget is expected to go for two SROs for county schools. SRO is the abbreviation for school resource officer. Last week, two potential SROs from Cannon County underwent training in Murfreesboro. A total of 26 law enforcement officers took part in the 40hour class taught by two Rutherford County officers, who are both national instructors for the National Association of School Resource Officers. My Take Topics covered MIKE WEST included the foundations of school-based policing, the learning process, effective presentations, effective communications in schools, drugs, alcohol and addictive behavior, special education, school law, child abuse, school safety, crime prevention and critical incident management. SROs learned to write lesson plans and to handle advisory sessions dealing with adolescent and family issues. Yes, if approved by the County Commission, the two SROs will do much more than provide security at CCHS. The officers will serve as a mentor to students and will provide counseling services in addition to serving police duties. It is a difficult program to understand, unless you have seen it in action. In Rutherford County it is popular program, which has grown slowly over the last 20 years. It has undoubtedly saved lives. We hope the Cannon County Commission will approve its fledgling SRO program. *** My wallet is lighter after a Saturday visit to the new Short Mountain Trading Post which had its grand opening. We enjoyed the food and music and those durn crafts. The Trading Post is located next to the distillery on Short Mountain Highway (Route 146). *** Speaking of great successes…. Have you been to the new Cannon Outreach and Thrift Store at 214 S. McCrary St.? Opening last Wednesday, the Thrift Store is doing big business with shoppers even wanting to buy the window displays. Sorry, those aren't for sale! Perhaps one of the big draws is that the gently used clothing has been washed, even ironed before it hit the hangers. But there's more than clothing available at the shop, so go check it out. A non-profit organization, the Thrift Store's proceeds are used to benefit Cannon County SAVE (domestic violence program) and to provide nutritional food for the Food Backpack program for local children.

Call 615-563-5304 for more information. Dr. Ming Want to speak and perform at Cannon County Senior Citizens Center Nashville based eye surgeon, Dr. Ming Wang, will present an informative and educational vision care talk for members and guests of the Cannon County Senior Citizens Center at noon on Thursday, August 29. In addition to tips on vision care and the various options for corrective surgical vision enhancements, the renowned eye surgeon will also provide some special entertainment for the attendees. He will demonstrate his musical abilities with the “er hu”, a Chinese musical instrument similar to the violin. Dr. Wang grew up in China during the devastating Cultural Revolution when millions of youth were deported and condemned to a lifetime of hard labor and poverty. He learned to play a Chinese violet “er-hu” as a teenager to escape deportation. He often uses it in conjunction with “Music for Sight”, a program that promotes public awareness of the efforts for sight restoration for the blind. Accompanying the doctor will be classic guitarist, composer and close friend, Carlos Enrique Gonzalez. The doctor is frequently called upon to speak about the preciousness of freedom and choice in America compared to life in China. These talks are often followed by musical entertainment by the two friends. The public is invited to attend this educational and entertaining program.

Folks you know. READ ALL ABOUT IT PETTUS READ, Guest Columnist Slipping off from chores to learn from the best The day after the Fourth of July, I spent the afternoon in our local theater watching a movie I had been waiting on for sometime. The movie was The Lone Ranger starring Johnny Depp as Tonto and Armie Hammer as The Lone Ranger. I would have to say it was not The Lone Ranger of days gone by, but it was sort of what I expected and it entertained me on a rainy afternoon. The thing about the movie was how it returned me back to some memories of my Uncle Rob and something he said once about The Lone Ranger. My Great Uncle Rob was a person who lived life somewhat in the past. He never owned a TV, his bathroom consisted of a path out back, and he spent his days hunting and trapping. However, his way of thinking was, “I’ll leave you alone if you leave me alone.” He didn’t care for government programs or a handout. He grew his own meat, vegetables and considered the first five rows of corn on the side of the road as public property. He would often say to me, “Tell me what you need and I'll tell you how to get along without it.” And that is exactly what he did. He got along without a lot of things and seemed to enjoy life just as much as anyone. When he died, there was very little for others to argue over, not a whole lot to preach to the mourners about and numerous funny and fond memories of a man who did very little to muddy the water in that day’s world. He did cause a great nephew, which was I, to long for the opportunities once again of slipping off from the house to go sit on his porch when the great nephew should have been doing his chores. But Uncle Rob was a folk hero to that kid, and all these years after his death, he still has somewhat of an influence. Some of his advice included many things he had read from stacks of “Progressive Farmer” and “Time” magazines that filled one room in his old, gray, weather boarded house. Most of those magazines came from fund raising drives I was involved in with FFA, along with many others given to him from neighbors who had finished reading them. He considered that back room his library and never threw one of those magazines away. You could go by his house at night and see him sitting in his rocker by the single lamp in his front room reading through the yellowed pages of back issues of “Progressive Farmer.” Not that he was going to apply any of the new farming techniques demonstrated in the magazines to his old exhausted rocky farm, but it kept him educated on how to talk to others about what was going on in modern farming of those days. One time during a visit, he showed me a quote in an old, well-worn “Readers Digest” that said, “Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.” I can still see him smiling, somewhat inwardly, and telling me, “Pet, that is some good advice that you need to remember.” To this day, that aged advice has caused me to not answer and even walk away from several people during many discussions. If you have had a conversation with me lately and I didn’t answer you, please do not take offense. Sometimes I do not answer because I’m thinking. I guess you have to be the one to decide which motive best fits my reaction to your discussion. It sure is amazing what affect some individuals may have on us when we are growing up. I spent a lot of time around older people and still enjoy their company since now I’m one of the flock. While attending a festival recently, I met a friend whom I had not seen for quite a while. She told me her mother really enjoyed my column and was with her sitting in a lawn chair not too far from where we were talking. She asked me if I would meet her since she was such a fan of mine. Feeling somewhat overwhelmed and getting a big-head from the compliment, I told her I would be glad to meet her mother. After she introduced me to her mother, the nice, little grayhaired lady in her eighties looked at her daughter and said, “This can’t be Pettus Read. The way he writes he must be at least eighty years old!” How quickly we can be lowered from greatness to a below-average individual. However, as Uncle Rob once quoted from one of his old magazines, “When confronted by a difficult problem, you can solve it more easily by reducing it to the question, ‘How would the Lone Ranger handle this?’” And I did just that. I bit down on my silver bullet and immediately turned the situation over to my friend, who could have been Tonto, and left the area saying, “Hi-Yo, Silver! Away!” And I wasn’t talking about my hair either! - Pettus L. Read is Director of Communications for the Tennessee Farm Bureau Federation.

Adjourn (615) 890-5393 BOB STOETZEL Chairman of the Cannon County Commission CANNON COURIER THEFTS--Young and the Sheriff were on patrol on Osment Road responding to a report of a “suspicious” person in the area. “While driving past 1346 Osment Road, we saw two individuals in the backyard, one wearing a bright green shirt,” Young said. The officers pulled into the driveway and found one man. “We asked him what his name was. He said Ben Paschal. We asked him where the guy in the green shirt was,” Young said. Paschal responded that the man in the green shirt had walked across a field adjacent to the back yard. “We told him it was not possible for us to not have seen him as we drove down the driveway,” Young said. “I asked him why they were there and they stated they were trying to get a job from the residents that lived there.” There was no one home. Young again asked Paschal where the other guy had gone. This time Paschal responded, saying the guy in the green shirt had gone behind the barn. “At this point, Sheriff Young went behind the barn to see if he could locate the other person. He found the person behind the barn hiding behind a roll of hay,” the investigator said. The man, identified as Jeffrey Smith, was asked why he was hiding. Smith responded that there were warrants on him from Van Buren and Warren Counties. “We then placed both individuals in handcuffs and transported them to the Cannon County Jail,” Young said. A joint investigation by local authorities resulted in the arrest of Blake Dean Burton on multiple burglary charges including a break-in at West End Tobacco Outlet. "Investigator Gullett of the Sheriff's Department used some online leads to find out he was selling an X-Box online. Once we found that out, we were able to recover the X-Box and a laptop computer," said Assistant Chief Lowell Womack of the Woodbury Police. Burton, 23, was tied into at least three recent burglaries, authorities said. The laptop was stolen on June 27 and allegedly pawned by Burton at a Murfreesboro pawn shop. The X-Box 360 was stolen on the same date along with several games. West End Tobacco was burglarized on June 2. Taken were some $2,575 worth of cash, changed, lottery tickets and cigarettes. The laptop and X-Box were recovered, but the missing items from West End Tobacco were not, Womack said. Hearings on Burton’s charges are set for Aug. 20 in General Sessions Court. DEKALB--Concerning Cannon County’s defeat, County Mayor Mike Gannon smiles, “This was all in good fun and we are proud of both counties for their efforts. Mike Foster and I had a good time during the challenge. I am proud of Cannon County’s hard work and congratulate Billy Moulder for representing us well.” The United Way of Rutherford and Cannon Counties recently held its annual Stuff the Bus to benefit at-risk children in Rutherford and Cannon Counties. This year’s Stuff the Bus resulted in 17,264 items collected and 1,027 literacy kits assembled by 97 volunteers. The kits were delivered to programs in Rutherford and Cannon Counties. United Way will also be participating in Literacy Day on August 3, 2013 on the square in Murfreesboro. Kits will be handed out at the Literacy Day event. As one of its four impact areas, United Way focused on this educational program in order to provide the students not only with school supplies, but also books and activities promoting literacy. According to the Tennessee Department of Education, 62.7 percent of third-grade students in Cannon County and 39.7 percent of third-grade students in Rutherford County have basic or below basic reading proficiency. Participating companies included: Atmos Energy, Boys & Girls Clubs of Rutherford County, Cedar Grove Elementary Library, Community Care of Rutherford County, Dollar General on Cason Lane, Embassy Suites, Fifth Third Bank, First Community Mortgage, First Tennessee FirstBank Woodbury and Memorial Boulevard Locations, Ford of Murfreesboro, Holiday Inn Opryland, Ingram International Paper, Irby’, Journeys in Community Living, Kohl’s Murfreesboro andLinebaugh Library Locations. FARMERS--produce. "It keeps you out of the chair," says Earlene. Her husband adds, "A human's like a machine-you've got to keep it oiled." Harold Underwood sells his produce nearby. He grew up in Homestead in southern Florida, but he moved to Cannon County in 1984, two years after his daughter married and settled here. Underwood's wife Dorcas is a native, but her parents had moved to Homestead when she was in high school. Underwood has created a minor local population boom by moving here, he says: "I've got about 60 relatives that have followed me to Cannon County out of Florida. They just wanted to get out of Florida. They like Cannon County--it's country." Possibly the oldest farmer at the market, Thurman Bogle, 83, says he's been raising veggies for sale "a pretty good while. I done it when I was a kid. I drywalled for a number of years, then I retired and went back to doing it again." As a child, he was not tending the vegetable crops by himself by any means, however -- it was a family affair. "Our dad kept us busy when we was kids," Bogle recalls. "There was eight boys, and all gone but three." Bogle was one of eight boys and two girls, plus another brother who died young. They raised vegetables for a living. "It was all my dad knew. He farmed and truck-farmed. When he done it, he'd go to Murfreesboro and sell from store to store. You could sell to a store, then," Bogle recalls. Besides his prize cantaloupes and baskets of fresh-dug beets, Bogle was selling beets he had pickled and canned himself for $5 a pint. "I'd bring 'em to market to sell, and those that didn't, I'd can 'em," he says, describing his beetselling efforts earlier this summer. When Bogle was a child, "Mom was crippled up with arthritis, and we had to learn to cook," Bogle explains. In the 1950s, when Underwood lived near Homestead, Fla., Bogle used to come down there to do farm work, but the two veggie farmers never met until after Underwood moved to Cannon County, Underwood recalls: "It's a small world. We both lived down in Florida, and didn't bump into each other." Bogle replies, "We have bumped into each other, now." "I worked for a farmer down there" in Homestead, Bogle explains. "We'd go down there and spend the winter, and come back in Fast Service with Modern Rotary Drill Water Wells - Gould Pumps Sold and Serviced Filters - Chlorinators - Water Softeners John Butwell photos Between customers at the Cannon County Farmers Market, Roy "Lynn" Parsley relaxes in the shade under the tarp at the back of his pick-up truck where he sells a wide variety of veggies to customers hungry for fresh pickings. Buying a bushel box of beans from Parsley, Carol Bogen of Woodbury told him, "I thank you for your hard work.” Possibly the oldest grower selling veggies at the Cannon County Farmers Market, Thurman Bogle, 83, shows off one of his tasty prize canteloupes that he offers for sale at the Farmers Market. the spring. We picked beans, we put out beans-we planted a lot of beans. They shipped them out fresh. There was one great big, long one, and I put my name and (Cannon County) address on it. The next spring, I got a letter from a man in Texas-he found my prize bean." Truck farming is a family tradition for Underwood, too. "I got dirt in my blood," he says. His family has been truck farming for several generations. "My daddy, my grand daddy and all my uncles grew vegetables down there," he adds with a soft southern drawl. "I can't quit, so I just keep doin' it." His grandson Kyle Klingler plans to follow the tradition, too. "I always worked it growing up, but I want to raise cattle - there's a little more money and the work's easier," Klingler says. "Vegetables are all hand labor. But you work cattle about once a year, then you sell them." Harold Duggin agrees, "Nothing's easy about Roberts Veterinary Service Large & small animal medicine & surgery 24 hour mobile service available FRANK W.

You're either planting, weeding, or harvesting. It's all hard work." But this year at least, he's had a little luck with water. After last summer's drought, he bought eight soaker hoses and put one down between each row. "We haven't had to use 'em," he says. "The good Lord watered 'em every time they needed it." Roy "Lynn" Parsley was short-handed last Saturday. His daughter Lindsay was showing chickens, but he brought her fried pies to sell anyway: cherry, peach, and apple. They were almost all gone by 9. His watermelons had long since been snatched up by buyers. "I wish you could have seen my melons," Parsley adds with a touch of pride. "I had 50-pound melons." By about 10:30, Parsley sold the last of his heirloom purple-hull peas to Dorothy Elrod from Readyville. "I don't know what you call them (the peas)," she says. "But they're really good when you shell them out." You can't eat the pods, Parsley explains, but they cook up like tasty soup beans. "You have to shell 'em," he says. "Some people call 'em pink-eye peas." Jerry Smithson says one of the advantages of the Farmers Market is the availability of heirloom veggies and varieties that aren't available in the supermarkets. Plus, he prices his produce competitively. "These go for $2 a pound in the store," he says of his DONNIE ESTES baskets of variously shaped and sized eggplants. "I get $1.50. I try to stay under the stores." Smithson either recommends or prepares eggplants cooked a number of ways, including in lasagna or "fried like squash." Smithson sold some of his eggplants last Saturday to Mary Van Trease of Auburntown's Cooper Holler and her husband Charles. They visit the Farmers Market "every Saturday, just about," Charles says, instead of raising a garden: "I did have one, but I give it up. The rabbits got to it before I did, usually. It's about as easy to come over here and buy it as to raise it." Like Smithson, Parsley has interesting veggies for sale, too. His small, white "patty pan" or "flying saucer" squash are tasty sliced and fried with new potatoes and onions, he points out. He's been selling his veggies at the Farmers Market for seven or eight years now, through three moves. First, he says, there was a market across town, then it was on the square and now it's at the Arts Center, but he and the other farmers are hoping the market has made its last move. Construction of a new pavilion for the Farmer’s Market is now underway next to the Arts Center. "We've been working on it for three years," Parsley says, pointing to the foundation and lumber at the planned site. "We even went to the state legislature to get the grants."

"The directors' election is uncontested this year," MTEMC President Chris Jones said. "Aside from the four incumbent directors up for election, no other candidate emerged through the Nominating Committee or through the petition process. While this eliminates the need for voting by machine, there will be a voice vote at the meeting, simply confirming the candidates as elected."

No ordinary summer camp TONY STINNETT Courier Sports Editor CENTERVILLE - When Cannon County football players heard they were going to summer camp at the start of preseason practice they were elated. After all, what could be better than swimming, fishing, horseback riding, canoeing and such right before the start of school? But when the players arrived at Camp NaCoMe, located in Hickman County, they soon realized this four-day retreat would not be fun and games. “It’s a lot of hard work but we got better as a team, that’s for sure,” senior Dalton Bean said. “We put in a lot of hours and we focused on getting our plays right and attention to detail.” What about the fun part of camp? “We had fun practicing football and getting closer as a team,” junior standout Ethan Smith said. “We didn’t go to camp to mess around. We went to try to become a better team.” First-year Cannon County coach T.J. Daniel said the camp provided coaches and players with an opportunity to come together as a unit prior to the start of school, as well as focus on offense, defense and special teams with few distractions.

The Lions open the season at MTCS Aug. 23. They play Cornersville in the “The big thing was to get away and focus on football with limited distractions,” Daniel said. “We were able to accomplish that. We had several productive practices each day. Mental toughness is a big part of football and doing this helps with that aspect. When you are tired and having to fight through a tough practice, or series of practices, that’s when you develop mental toughness. I believe it was a good week for us. Most importantly, I believe we became closer as a team.” The Lions stayed in cabins at Camp NaCoMe, where they were treated to three meals daily. When they weren’t at the dining hall, the Lions were eating, sleeping and breathing football with opportunities to work on their game throughout the day. “We had a good time but it was a lot of work, too,” Bean said. “We had players get better individually and we improved as a team.” The Lions have three weeks remaining before they open the season at Middle Tennessee Christian, Aug. 23. 105 Blue Raiders Undefeated champions report to camp MT Media Relations MURFREESBORO Head Coach Rick Stockstill welcomed 105 veterans and newcomers Thursday (Aug. 1) as the team officially reported for the start of fall drills. "I really like what the team has done in the offseason and how hard they have worked and competed," said Stockstill. "I am anxious to get on the field Friday and see the improvement our guys have made in strength and conditioning as well as skill development. "I like the attitude and focus of this team. We have a sharp edge about us and we need to keep that edge. This is a hungry bunch and the key is to stay that way and get better over the next 29 practices." The freshmen and transfers spent most of the day in academic orientation meetings Thursday before taking photos and physicals early in the afternoon. Following a 5:30 PM dinner, Stockstill will hold a senior meeting at 6:45 PM, followed by a team meeting, before calling it a day. The NCAA's mandatory acclimatization period will begin with Friday's practice and will conclude with Tuesday's drills. A total of 41 lettermen and 16 starters highlighted the list of players reporting to camp Thursday. The Blue Raiders had four newcomers who did not report, including Devante Lee, Ed Batties, Kenderson Obas, and Jahmal Jones. On the injury front, offensive linemen Jesse Grisham will be out for about two weeks before he can begin drills while Craig Allen, Jacob Corbaley, Herbert King, and Stephen Roberts will all be limited.

How many eggs did Newman actually eat during the filming of that scene? Newman once told an interviewer, "I never swallowed an egg." When then asked, "Isn't Method acting about doing the real thing?" he responded, "Not if you have to swallow eggs." However, he did consume gallons of popcorn during just about every movie he made as he was a popcorn fanatic and spoiled his crew members and fellow actors by often popping and serving giant bags of popcorn at breaks in the middle of the afternoon. In the 1980s, he debuted his Newman's Own Popcorn, which continues to sell in seven varieties. The profits from his various food products go to Newman's Own Foundation that has dispensed over $370 million to thousands of charities since 1982.
