Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam and state Department of Veterans Affairs Commissioner Many-Bears Grinder announced September 21-27, 2012 as POW/MIA Recognition Week.In 1990, the 101st Congress passed legislation to recognize the National League of Families’ POW/MIA flag.  Since 2011, the week beginning the third Friday of September and extending through the following Thursday of each year shall be designated as “Tennessee POW-MIA Recognition Week” to remember and pay tribute to service members captured by the enemy and those still missing in action.
“Hearing the stories of former Prisoners of War is an unforgettable experience and offering our recognition as a state is a powerful way to salute their bravery and perseverance,” Grinder said.  “We continue to remember those still missing in action and their families while they wait for closure and answers.”
More than 83,000 Americans and more than 200 Tennesseans are still missing or unaccounted for since World War II.
Commissioner Grinder presented Governor Haslam’s POW/MIA Recognition Week Proclamation to Tennessee Valley Healthcare System Director Juan Morales during an       Ex-POW/MIA ceremony on September 14, 2012.

Registration will close at 12 noon.  All Makes and Models Trucks or cars and trailered vehicles are welcome.

By the time the Cannon County Lions football team ran their first offensive play from the line of scrimmage, the game was already over.  The Cascade Champions scored on the first offensive possession, then recovered two Cannon County fumbles in a row and scored on both as a result and before halfway into the first quarter Cascade would post a 20-0 on the Lions.  A Blocked punt set up another Champion touchdown and a touchdown as a result of yet another Cannon County fumble on the ensuing kickoff rounded out the scoring for Cascade.  With the clock running in the third quarter due to the mercy rule, the Lions kept from getting shut out as time expired to end the third quarter as Hawk Love ran 58 yards for a touchdown and the final score ended up 41-7.  Offensively minus the turnovers and fundamental mistakes, the Lions and Champions rushing numbers were close to each other.  Cannon County will now travel Friday to face Livingston who is sitting atop the district standings with Dekalb County.
