How Ottawa Redblacks star Adarius Pickett managed to return from serious injury for CFL season opener
Article content 'The (UCLA team) staff had open arms for me and the athletic therapist as well. I was out there running the UCLA bleachers with the head coach between 5 a.m. and 5:15 a.m. He was pushing me, I was pushing him. A lot of people came out and ran stairs with me … my brother came out, John Johnson, my barber even came out. Article content 'It was dope for that energy. An amazing feeling just to be surrounded by love, by energy, by support, a lot of people had a hand in me getting back to this point right now. I'm very thankful for the people who support me and surround me and just want me to be me forever.' Article content Pickett says he feels 'great' now and that, once again, all football activities are like 'second nature' to him.

I said, can we make it happen? He was like, 'if you work like I know you will. I'm pretty sure we can.' Article content Article content 'I had gotten up to, I think, like 225 pounds from being hurt when I couldn't do anything. Worked myself all the way down to 2012, so I lost 13 pounds over six to eight weeks. I was working out like, two, three, sometimes four times a day, making sure I'm ready for my team. And it meant a lot to me to be back here for them.' Article content It meant a lot to the Redblacks, too.

Article content Article content Along with their talents, both brought back with them an attitude element that should aid the new defensive coordinator, William Fields, and the new defensive backs coach, Myron Lewis, both of whom were on the Argos staff last year. Article content 'Confidence is a huge thing,' head coach Bob Dyce said. 'And when you have strong personalities like both those young men have, it bleeds off onto the other guys.

Yahoo is using AI to generate takeaways from this article. This means the info may not always match what's in the article. Reporting mistakes helps us improve the experience. Generate Key Takeaways Concerns have been raised over who will patrol Lake Norman after Lincoln County Commissioners voted to dismantle the groups responsible for its safety. The group is expected to stop working at the end of June, days before July 4. Last year, Channel 9 investigated big problems on Lake Norman. Illegal charter and rental boats that either did not have the proper permitting or a hired captain. In one case, someone drowned. Now, the group that pushed for tougher regulations and zero drownings will soon cease to exist. PREVIOUS COVERAGE: Lincoln Co. commissioners vote to leave Lake Norman Marine Commission Lincoln County Commissioners voted Monday night to withdraw from the Lake Norman Marine Commission. Since each member county contributes $37,000 annually to the Marine Commission budget. If one county withdraws, the whole commission dissolves. 'Right now, this looks bad; it smells bad that the marine commission is going to disappear after 65 years,' said Mecklenburg County Representative John Johnson. 'We didn't think they would actually do it." From navigation markers to free life jackets to fighting toxic algae blooms or lake weeds, Johnson said the commission has played a vital role. 'We regulate the lake with our charter boat regulations and our rental boat regulations,' said Johnson. However, Lincoln County residents who support the withdrawal share the same opinions as their elected leaders. 'The Lake Norman Marine Commission has been ineffective,' said resident Brusant Sarter. 'The rental boats just kind of run wild, doing whatever they darn well please,' said Lincoln County Commissioner Bud Cesena. Johnson said he wonders what will now happen with a key part of law enforcement patrols in the area. 'Through the Marine Commission, the five law enforcement organizations have concurrent jurisdiction on the lake,' said Johnson. But Lincoln County leaders said they think there's a better way. It starts with Bill SB 697 in the state senate to recodify the Lake Norman Marine Commission. 'We think that part of the better way to do this is to dissolve ourselves from the current marine commission. So as the new one comes on board, it'll be fresh and new,' Cesena expressed. Yet some residents continue to remain skeptical about that. That bill is quickly making its way through committees. If it makes it out of the Senate, it would then go to the House. In the meantime, the Lake Norman Marine Commission, as we know it, is done on June 30. VIDEO: Lincoln Co. signals intent to leave Lake Norman Marine Commission

Iguanas are eating Florida. Why not eat them back? We've got lizard recipes
So, you've bagged yourself an invasive iguana or two. What next? If you're a waste not/want not type, why not make use of your kill? And just to ease your mind, it's fine. Like all nonnative reptile species, green iguanas aren't protected in Florida except by anti-cruelty law and can be humanely killed on private property with landowner permission, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and on 32 public lands in south Florida, including the Big Cypress, and parts of Fisheating Creek and Babcock (check here first) in Southwest Florida. Iguana is not by any means a huge part of Marco Island iguana hunter John Johnson's menu, but he's not against demonstrating its culinary potential. Known as The Iguana Guy, Johnson regularly supplies an FGCU class with meat for cultural studies and has demonstrated iguana egg breakfasts on camera as well. Meet The Iguana Guy Mini dragons have invaded Marco Island. One man's on a quest to stop them with an air gun The scrambled eggs are pretty standard, but for meat dishes, Johnson recommends an initial parboil, the way you'd poach chicken before making it into salad or casserole. Here are a couple of recipes to get you started, and there are more online resources as well. 1/2 pound skinned iguana meat. There's not a whole lot of muscle on iguanas except for the legs and the top of the tails, so that's generally the focus, Johnson says. If you don't have your own, will sell you a pound for $149.99 1 tablespoon lemon or lime juice About a tablespoon of powdered Fajita seasoning Oil for sauteeing Tortillas and garnishes, like tomatoes, avocado cilantro and salsa Bring a pot of water to a low boil. Add the meat and simmer about 20 minutes. Drain and sautee, then place in a bowl with juice and seasoning and allow to marinate for half an hour. Remove from marinade, heat oil and sautee. Cool and chop or shred to desired fineness before wrapping in tortillas and garnishing to taste. 10-12 eggs (will be joined together with membrane) Dash of milk Grated cheese 1 tablespoon butter Seasonings to taste Remove and rinse eggs. With a sharp knife, slit the eggs, then squeeze them into a bowl. Don't be alarmed at the lack of whites; iguana eggs are all yolk, Johnson says. Add the milk and whip until blended. Melt butter in a pan, add eggs and scramble until they're the desired consistency. Stir in the cheese and seasonings and serve.
