UM’s 3rd Annual Food Day Celebration

BY CATY CAMBRON cjcambro@go.olemiss.edu

The University of Mississippi will host its third annual Food Day celebration today.

Ole Miss Food Day aims to teach students and the community about the health, economic and environmental issues surrounding food.

From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., there will be an on-campus farmers market and festival in front of the Student Union. Students will be able to buy fresh goods and meet local farmers. The farmers market will also feature live cooking demos.

“University students will really get to see where they can get fresh, local food here in Oxford, as well as peruse the local organizations they can get involved with including the Community Garden and Good Food for Oxford Schools,” said Sunny Young, director of Good Food for Oxford Schools.

Following the festival, there will be a discussion panel called “Impact of a Changing Food System” from 3:30-5 p.m. in the Overby Center lo-

cated in Farley Hall.

Along with Young, other panelists include Jody Holland, visiting assistant professor of public policy leadership; Emily Broad-Leib, Harvard law lecturer, director of Food

Law and Policy Clinic and assistant director for the Center for Health Law and Policy Innovation; Kathy Knight, interim department chair and associate professor of Nutrition and Hospitality Management;

Chip Johnson, mayor of Hernando; and Jonathan Parker, resident district manager of Aramark Inc. “(The panel) will expose (students) to what’s going on locally, on a state-wide perspective

and nationally with the local food movement,” panelist Holland said.

According to Holland, each panelist will be able to deliver a perspective from different geographical scopes and different disciplinary perspectives, such as health and the nutritional value of local food systems as well as the economy and how jobs can be created from the local food system.

Holland also said that Aramark representative and panelist Jonathan Parker will be highlighting the changes that will take place when the Johnson Commons completes construction.

Campus organization Food Action Rebels and non-partisan, non-profit organization Mississippi First will host the last event of the day with a screening of the film “Fresh” at 6 p.m. in the Croft Institute.

“Fresh” follows Michael Pollan, Will Allen and Joel Salatin as they re-invent the food system in America. Several of the main characters are farmers, See FOOD, PAGE 4

The American intelligence community is a sizable portion of the United States’ bureaucracy, and it is still growing. According to the Washington Post investigation, “Top Secret America,” more than 1,200 government organizations and more than 1,900 private government contractors work on programs related to counter-terrorism and intelligence gathering in the U.S. These organizations rely on their ability to recruit intelligent, motivated and

The United States’ fresh food gap

BY CHRISTINE DICKASON cdickason11@gmail.com

PATRICIA THOMPSON director and faculty adviser

Saturday is my favorite day of the week. And no, despite being an Ole Miss student, it is not because Saturday is gameday.

Saturday is the day I volunteer at the Memphis Farmers Market in downtown Memphis. I began volunteering in June, and now I’m hooked.

Every weekend, I experience the atmosphere of one of the top markets in the country — fresh air, delicious and local produce, live music, local artists, a family of volunteers and a community forming relationships over food.

Farmers markets are often stereotyped as places where the wealthy go to buy overpriced, organic produce, as if mimicking a “hippie” lifestyle.

While this description may have been accurate in the past, it is changing.

ket is a perfect example of this transformation. It is one of the markets in the United States that allows patrons to use SNAP benefits to purchase “SNAP-eligible” goods, including produce, meat and dairy. This provides access for those who typically could not afford fresh food.

And this limited access to fresh, healthy food has serious consequences. Approximately 12.5 million children in the U.S. are obese. Obesity disproportionately affects socioeconomaically disadvantaged populations, as one out of every seven low-income children is obese.

It may seem counterintuitive that obesity and poverty are so closely linked. The fact is that food insecurity — the idea that you are not sure where your next meal is coming from — often coexists with obesity.

Frequently, impoverished communities are located in food deserts, or areas that lack

access to affordable, healthy food. According to the USDA’s Economic Research Service, 2.3 million Americans live more than a mile from a supermarket and do not have access to a vehicle. Seventy percent of Mississippi food stamp-eligible households must travel at least 30 miles to reach a chain supermarket.

Food deserts disproportionately impact minorities. For example, a report released

by PolicyLink and The Food Trust found that zip codes in areas that were predominantly black had only half the number of chain supermarkets as predominantly white zip codes.

Access to a supermarket has a direct impact on health and what type of food a person is buying and consuming. Without supermarkets, citizens are forced to rely on gas stations, fast food outlets and “momand-pop” stores, which often only offer heavily processed

How can we address this problem?

That’s where farmers markets come in. From 2000 to 2011, the number of farmers markets in the U.S. increased by 150 percent.

Farmers markets can improve a community in so many ways. Project for Public Spaces released a report asserting that markets could be key for encouraging social integration and upward mobility. Markets can spur economic and community development. They can contribute to building positive relationships among people of different races, classes and backgrounds.

Most importantly, they can expand access to fresh, healthy food. As Michelle Obama said, “We can talk all we want about making healthy choices about See FOOD, PAGE 3

continued from page 2 the food we serve our kids, but the truth is that if parents don’t have anywhere to buy these foods, then all of that is really just talk.”

Yet, out of the 8,000 farmers markets in the U.S., less than half accept SNAP benefits. The USDA recognizes the importance of accessibility to farmers markets in the fight against hunger and obesity and is doing what it can to help.

This year, it announced the launch of a $4 million initiative to expand wireless access at farmers markets, thus enabling the markets to accept SNAP benefits. This is a crucial first step toward expanding access to healthy food.

Some people may question my decision to spend my Saturdays volunteering at a market rather than enjoying the Grove, but it has never seemed like a hard choice to make.

Negative stereotypes saturate the media surrounding the city of Memphis. But I see Memphis much differently, especially on Saturdays. I see local musicians sharing their talents with the community. I see young children at the market picking out fresh tomatoes or bright summer squash, rather than filling a shopping cart with prepackaged sweet treats.

I see individuals from differing backgrounds not only sharing family recipes and cooking tips, but also sharing life experiences and stories. Every Saturday, I see hope for a city that has seen its struggles but is overcoming them every day in ways both big and small. And I see possibilities for other communities to follow suit.

The Grove is fun, but to be part of a market that can offer hope and positive change for an entire city is an experience that is truly inspiring.

Who will blink first? so-called extremists on the other side of the aisle, is not only immature but also wildly inefficient.

Let’s all hope this method will bite the dust in place of the U.S. debt ceiling.

The question in every American’s mind is slowly beginning to form into “will we actually default?” At this point it’s safe to say the American public would not be shocked should Congress continue their gridlock and squabbles, presenting no resolution. The government shutdown alone is mainly in the hands of Congress, as they hold the budgetary power. Brought about by Obamacare, it has taken center stage with the public since it’s creation.

However, displays like Ted Cruz’s filibuster against Obamacare were merely a rearranging of deck chairs on the Titanic.

The real dark cloud of disaster swirling above Washington is the national debt ceiling about to come crashing down on the world economy.

The collapse of Lehman Brothers five years ago and its effects would look so piddly in comparison with a U.S. debt default as to be laughable. President Obama would squarely take the blame from the U.S. and the world, should he allow the U.S. to default. He will blink first, which puts the ball in Speaker of

BY WHITNEY GREER whitneygreere@gmail.com

As the Thursday evening deadline to raise the debt ceiling or default on U.S. debt creeps closer, the markets are quaking in their boots and Congressional leaders are white knuckling onto whatever power they currently wield.

The bottom line: one side will have to blink first. The alternative, defaulting on our massive debt, would be the greatest act of government incompetence and malfeasance America has ever seen. Blame would no longer be tossed like a hot potato across aisles in the House, but land squarely in the commander in chief ’s lap.

Since the shutdown took effect 14 days ago it has doubled as a blame blaster and bargaining chip. Staged events such as the guarding and closure of open-air memorials conjure to mind previously used petty tactics, like the abolition of White House tours when the sequester was initially put into place.

reform. If done responsibly and done right, with scare tactics left out of the political grandstanding, half of the U.S. budget could be trimmed down and gussied up to actually run right.

Although entitlement reform alongside budget reconstruction may seem like a tall order for the House Republicans to deliver on, should they play their cards correctly they could walk away from this debt and budget crisis victorious in several categories. Congress could evade defaulting on the U.S. debt, have restructured the sequester they claimed to abhor in the first place and could even have a chance to stick up for the often touted “middle class Americans” in having a strong hand in entitlement reform.

Boehner has already stated he will grant a six-week extension of the debt ceiling, during which more negotiations would be conducted. Which leads one to ask, negotiations for what?

Fellow conservative and budget aficionado, Paul Ryan, has laid out the end game for Boehner, and it looks a whole lot like entitlement reform and restructuring the budget, particularly in regards to the cuts currently in place by the sequester. Altering the mindless formulaic cuts made across the government budget to allow more reasoning in spending is palpable to Democrats and would carry public support.

FOOD, continued from page 1 thinkers and business people who believe in educating others about healthy alternatives for the future of America’s agriculture.

The goals of Ole Miss Food Day include trying to expose students to the different perspectives and changes in the food system and the local food movement.

Senior art major Allie Billmeyer believes events like this are a positive step for Ole Miss.

“The students have the right to be informed of these healthy food options available in our community,” Billmeyer said. “I think drawing attention to eating local through farmer’s markets is a wonderful reminder that Chick-fil-A and Papa John’s are not the

only food sources we have.”

Ole Miss Food Day is an effort to join in the national celebration of Food Day, Oct. 16 - 24. Food Day is an annual event that involves a grassroots campaign for better food policies while educating others abut healthy, affordable and sustainably produced food.

“Currently our diets here in the U.S. and especially in Mississippi are killing us,” Young said. “Changing your diet to include fresh, local foods is one of the best things you can do to transform your life.”

All University of Mississippi Food Day events are free and open to the public.

CISS, continued from page 1 ligence community over the past 12 years.

“When I was in intel (intelligence) school we went over analysis, but some of the techniques we’re using now were still in the developmental stage,” Yates said. “Now they’re taught here, they’re taught at all the intel schools, so the way they teach analysis and the technology associated with sharing that information has been the biggest change over all.”

One of the biggest changes to the way the intelligence community analyzes its information is to ensure that analysts recognize their biases and that they avoid assumptions.

The 9/11 Commision Report pointed out that while intelligence agencies had information indicating commercial airliners might be used as weapons of mass destruction, people did not believe a terrorist organization could pull off an operation of that size.

“I think a lot of it was people saying, ‘nobody could do this to us and attack us in this manner,’ everyone was so fixated on Cold War state actors

that the ability to think outside the box was pushed to the side,” Yates said.

“We had warning signs, but nothing ever directly touched us here,” Yates continued.

“The fact that a threat could ever come here and touch us was totally foreign to us in my opinion.”

One of the key parts of the center’s curriculum is allowing its students to interact with members of the intelligence community.

Some students are able to intern with the National Clandestine Service, the CIA directorate that produces the nation’s field agents.

Most of the students must obtain secret or even top-secret security clearances before commencing the internship required to complete the program.

Project coordinator Carl “C.D.” Hill, has been amazed by the level of access and support the center’s students and staff have received from many of the national intelligence agencies.

“Our students get a tremendous amount of support from members of the intelligence community,” Hill said. “It’s such a benefit for our students to get the contacts and the

support of the community.

They go out of their way to ensure that we know that we have their full support.”

Both Yates and Graves said one of the most important aspects of their program is getting students experience working for our country’s intelligence agencies.

“The course work here is great for them because it puts them ahead of the game,” Yates said. “But to me, the number one benefit of this program is the contacts these students will get. You look at a guy like Phil Mudd (former deputy director of the CIA Counter-Terrorism Center) who they met and spoke with.

The students actually get to interact with real world analysts and are able to use those contacts to get employment later on.”

“What makes our program different, one thing I haven’t seen in other programs is that we have an extended application process,” Graves said.

“Most other programs are open to everybody. We are very selective.”

Graves emphasized that the competitive advantage of the program is in its structure as a minor program of study.

“Another thing is that most of the other programs are focused on being a major,” Graves continued. “What we’re looking to do is pull in students who are majoring in areas that will already make them competitive for jobs and then supplement that with the minor, and then they’re ready to go. Our students are getting jobs that normally would go to people with master’s degrees from Ivy League schools.”

Insell, Lady Rebs begin new chapter for women’s basketball

BY BROWNING STUBBS bbstubbs@go.olemiss.edu

With a new coach and four new freshmen, the Ole Miss women’s basketball team is set to make a lot of noise in the Southeastern Conference this season.

Head coach Matt Insell, who had previously spent five seasons as an assistant coach at Kentucky, has a great vision for his team.

“The first thing I asked the girls was, ‘Do you really want this? Do you really want to win at the highest level?’” Insell said at his press conference Monday.

The Lady Rebels are extremely young this season, but they still return four of their top five scorers from a season ago, when the Rebels finished at a disappointing 9-20.

One bright spot for the Rebels this season is senior point guard Valencia McFarland, who has scored in every game she has suited up in for the Rebels.

“I wish I had her four more years, and she fits in perfectly with this team,” Insell said. “She is a luxury to have as a first year coach. I would go as far to say that she is the best point guard in the SEC, and the best point guard I have ever coached.”

One other important factor that Insell brings to the table is his recruiting ability. Widely known for recruiting and player development at Kentucky, Insell made it clear that he wants to protect the state of Mississippi and own the state when it comes to recruiting.

“Players grow up in the state of Mississippi wanting to be Ole Miss Rebels,” Insell said. “I don’t want to be playing against Mississippi girls. I want to be coaching them.”

Insell also has the ability to recruit not only in the United States, but also overseas. This season the Rebels have two new freshmen from out of the country. Shequila Johnson is a 6-foot-3 forward from London, England, while the other international player is 5-foot-8 guard Claudia Ortiz Ledesma from Carolina, Puerto Rico.

“I see Shaquila and Claudia both playing major roles over the next four years,” Insell said.

Insell added that both of these girls are not ready defensively because their club teams overseas mainly focused on the offensive side of the ball. Insell said they didn’t play a lot of man-to-man defense over the course of their careers, which is what Insell will mainly play this year.

Overall, Insell has already begun to change the culture of this program. Insell plays music in practice to motivate the girls. The players take only 90-second water breaks during practice, which is how long the women’s basketball TV timeouts are. He also put up banners of some of the past Rebel teams that had success in the SEC and in the NCAA Tournament.

“I want the girls to look around and see the successful teams that came through our programs,” he said. “Teams that included Peggie Gillom and coach Van Chancellor, who made 14 NCAA Tournament appearances as head coach here. I want our girls to have the mindset that it is our turn to create something special.”

As far as team chemistry goes, youth will be the key to success.

Insell said he wants the girls to be sophomores by the time they play their first game.

“How fast will we put it together?,” Insell said. “We could win some games we are not supposed to win, and we could lose some games we are supposed to win. It’s all about sacrifice and commitment to one another and this university if we are going to become something special.”

With a laundry list of players out due to injuries, Ole Miss had a shorter practice Tuesday afternoon, as they prepare for another big test in No. 6 LSU. This weekend the Rebels will be going against a more traditional style offense, which is much different than preparing for the spread-type teams they’ve faced the past two weeks.

“I like what we’re doing so far,” Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze said. “As always, we probably have too much stuff, and we have to make sure we have enough to give our kids a great chance. We’re playing against a really good football team, but I like what were doing. I just have to watch the film. We’ll probably get rid of some stuff.”

Freeze said he will continue to shorten practices this week to keep the guys that are healthy as fresh as possible.

On Tuesday, sophomore safety Chief Brown and senior quarterback Barry Brunetti participated in practice and are expected to play, according to Freeze. However, the rest of the players he mentioned in his press conference Monday were held out of action.

“They’re going to go,” Freeze said of Brown and Brunetti. “Will they be 100 percent? I don’t know, but they’re going to go. Chief looked good I thought.”

Freeze said senior running back Jeff Scott (thigh bruise) is “very questionable” for Saturday’s contest. Sophomore corner Mike Hilton (hamstring) is “not probable.” Junior defensive ends C.J. Johnson (foot) and Carlos Thompson (stinger) will both miss this week’s game.

Bryant, who was carted off the field this past weekend with a concussion, is doing “OK.” “He is fighting with the people that are running the concussion protocol,” Freeze said. “He’s not ready yet. He sure wants to play.”

Offensively, Ole Miss will be going up against an LSU defense that ranks fourth in the Southeastern Conference in total defense. The Tigers give up 348.9 yards per game, but they are just ninth in rush defense, giving up 152.57 yards per contest on the ground.

It is likely Ole Miss will try to establish the running game early and often Saturday to set themselves up in good chances to make first downs and keep the LSU offense on the sideline.

“It’s kind of like last week,” Freeze said. “We managed the first half without going tempo. Our plan was to try to limit the number of opportunities that they had and get to halftime, and that worked. We were probably a little more patient than we normally would be. It gave us a chance to win it at the end, and we’ll probably manage this one very similar.”

Defensively, LSU presents the biggest threat that they have all season. As always, they have a strong stable of running backs that are led by Jeremy Hill, who is averaging 119.17 rushing yards per game.

However, LSU has also gotten a strong boost from their passing game this season.

Quarterback Zach Mettenberger and wideouts Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry have been one of the toughest tandems to slow down this season.

“It’s a very physical team that you play,” Freeze said.

“They make you add people in the box, so they can throw it to those talented wide receivers they have. And Mettenberger is playing really well.

It’s a great challenge.”

Freeze also noted that special teams has taken a big hit due to all of the injuries.

However, Ole Miss does add sophomore defensive back Carlos Davis, who excelled on special teams last season, back in the mix. Davis returns to action after serving a NCAA required six-game suspension.
