James Magnussen is left heartbroken as he shares devastating news: 'We were attached at the hip'
James Magnussen has lost his 'best friend' in a heartbreaking blow. The Olympian took to Instagram on Friday to celebrate his little mate's life by sharing a carousel of images of his beloved pooch, Olli. He moved many of his followers as he reflected on the happier times with the adored family member who spent a lot of his life 'being carried around like the king of the castle'. 'Rest in peace, my gorgeous guy. I lost my best friend this week,' he began. 'We were attached at the hip, literally. Olli spent a large part of his life under my left arm being carried around like the king of the castle. 'He was the bravest, smartest, happiest little Saus, and I miss him like crazy.' He continued: 'Rose and I will never forget you, little man. I hope you are back up on all fours and running around again like the speedster you are.' In happier news, the former swimmer proposed to his Rose McEvoy in August last year, just weeks after wrapping up work on the Olympics in Paris. Rose took to social media at the time to share intimate footage of the proposal. 'For the first time in my life, I was speechless,' McEvoy wrote on a shared Instagram post, including a video of the moment Magnussen got down on one knee. 'You can assume it's a yes. James Magnussen I love you more than words can describe.' The giddy couple could barely contain their excitement as they embraced on a floating wooden dock, while Magnussen waited for a friend to capture the special moment which took place during a holiday at Hvar Island in Croatia. McEvoy looked genuinely stunned as she turned towards her partner, expecting to pose for a video rather than have a ring put on her finger. 'If you push me in (the water) I'm going home,' McEvoy joked before 'The Missile' quickly knelt down and pulled a ring out from his pocket. 'I love you, will you marry me?,' the ex-swimmer said as McEvoy held back tears and family and friends surrounding the couple cheered. The model and actor's jaw dropped and she stumbled slightly at the question, turning towards their friends with her mouth hanging open in a shocked grin. Magnussen had to tug at his partner's arm gently to remind her to answer the question. The lovebirds later shared the joyous news with their friends, with McEvoy flaunting the giant diamond ring. Magnussen and McEvoy have been dating for 10 years and met when Magnussen was a 23-year-old Olympic freestyler and McEvoy was a 21-year-old law student and part-time model. The first reports of their union surfaced in 2014 when she uploaded a a picture of herself cuddling up with her beau on her 21st birthday.

Some Middle Tennessee businesses could feel the effect of tariffs on imported coffee
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Area businesses could feel the impacts of new, sweeping tariffs from President Donald Trump's administration. The latest tariffs include a massive 104% levy on Chinese imports scheduled to kick in after midnight. Among the tariffs is a proposed 104% levy on Chinese imports, which could affect the cost of everyday items. Rising costs mean possible issues for one Davidson County business. 📧 Have breaking news come to you: → It's a habit a lot of us don't want to live without: a daily cup of coffee.'I drink a little too much coffee every day,' Jacob Walker, coffee drinker, said. However, a cup could cost you more in the weeks and months to come. Last week, the Trump administration announced a 46% tariff on imports from Vietnam, including coffee. South American coffee growers like Columbia and Brazil also have a 10% tariff in place. Dritan Olli, the owner of Momento Specialty Coffee in Hermitage, said he's already been dealing with inflated prices for months. 'We do our price resolution every year — every January,' Olli said. 'If I compare to the last January, this January was about a 15% increase on every good we buy. With coffee around 20%.' The business sits on Lebanon Pike and serves around 250 customers daily and even more on the weekends. Now, the business owner said he's braced for brewing challenges as his supplier is based in the United Kingdom.'By the end of the year, we're going to lose around $15,000,' said Olli. 'It's hard. We'll try to keep our prices the same for a little bit until we can't handle that.' The U.S. Department of Agriculture reported that in 2023, about 80% of unroasted coffee imports came from Latin America. Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed the average price for 100% ground roast coffee was $7.25 per pound. In 2020, that price was just $4.25 per pound. With looming tariffs, some coffee drinkers said they would still pay a steeper price. ⏩ 'It's just a luxury that I love. It's part of my day that I enjoy, so I will,' Tori Patton, who frequents Momento Specialty Coffee, said. Olli said with people more likely to support small businesses, it helps alleviate some of the fear of losing customers.'We've been here two and a half years now,' Olli said. 'People are supporting more local than before and it's helpful on our side.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

The Next Evolution for the US Charcuterie Market: Olli Salumeria Proudly Launches Groundbreaking Preservative-Free Salamis
Olli's first-of-its-kind innovation paves the way for gourmet snacking and charcuterie with simple ingredients, eliminating those preservatives today's consumers are looking to avoid. NEW YORK, March 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Olli Salumeria, an emerging California-based charcuterie brand founded in 2010 by fourth-generation Italian salami maker Oliviero (Olli) Colmignoli, is setting the new standard in cured meats and gourmet snacking. Olli Salumeria proudly announces the national roll-out of the first-of-its-kind preservative-free salamis, marking the next evolution of the US charcuterie market. Olli's new product line is completely free from both artificial and natural nitrates and nitrites, boasting the brand's unwavering commitment to combining traditional craftsmanship with groundbreaking innovation. On this change, Colmignoli reflects, "When I started the company 15 years ago, my mission was clear: to create the world's best tasting salamis and inspire others to slow down and enjoy meaningful connections over food made with intention. We believe that means creating products that are not only delicious but better for you, too. Olli's new preservative-free salami, which took more than three years of research and development to perfect, embodies this brand ethos." This product innovation boldly challenges the status quo in the charcuterie industry, but Olli is determined to make products that reflect the company's – and Olli's – mission. Not only is this key for the company's growth and development, but it positions Olli as a continued leader in the category, too. Tim Goldsmid, CPG food industry veteran and CEO of Olli Salumeria, believes this big move will help cement these ambitions. He comments, "within the category, there's a rise in interest in charcuterie, gourmet, and protein-forward snacks, coupled with preferences trending towards natural products with simple ingredients, including the elimination of preservatives." As a result, Olli's full portfolio of preservative-free salamis marks a historic milestone for the growing cured meats industry and consumers everywhere. "Until now every salami available in the US has included some form of preservatives. Finally, Olli can satiate consumer tastes, as we redefine what it means to snack mindfully. We are eager to connect more consumers with our business, one rooted in the joy of salami." The result is nothing short of exceptional. Olli has replaced its former natural nitrates with a propriety blend of dried fruits and spices to keep its products fresh. That process, when paired with Olli's traditional salt-curing method, achieves the perfect balance of freshness and flavor, resulting in a salami you'll want to slow down to savor with friends or family. Colmignoli adds, "We invite you to indulge in the purest form of charcuterie." Olli Salumeria's preservative-free launch begins rolling out national wide this spring and will include its core products: Snack Packs, Pre-sliced, and classic Chubs. Look for Olli's new "Proudly Preservative-Free" packaging at specialty and natural foods retailers across the country including Whole Foods, Albertsons, Publix, Kroger's and Amazon Fresh.

Olli's recipes—passed down through generations—celebrate the timeless art of curing, using only the finest ingredients: 100% vegetarian-fed pork, no antibiotics, and completely preservative-free, resulting in cured meats that are meant to be savored, shared, and appreciated.

The Utah Hockey Club signed Olli Maatta to a three-year contract extension Monday, rewarding the Finnish defenseman for helping the team stay on the edge of playoff race in the Western Conference. It is worth $10.5 million, according to a person with knowledge of the contract. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because financial terms were not announced. Maatta will count $3.5 million against the salary cap from when the new deal kicks in next NHL season through 2027-28. 'Olli is a smart defenseman and a true professional on and off the ice,' general manager Bill Armstrong said in a statement. 'He has brought stability to our blue line, has a tremendous work ethic and is an excellent role model for our younger players.

'Olli has made an immediate and noticeable impact and a positive impression on everyone in our group,' president of hockey operations Chris Armstrong said. 'He is an important influence on the culture we continue to foster and the standards we have for our team. We are grateful for the commitment he is making to our organization.' Utah is Maatta's fifth NHL organization. Drafted in the first round by Pittsburgh in 2012, he won the Stanley Cup with the Penguins in 2016 and '17 before getting traded to Chicago in 2019 and spending time with the Blackhawks, Los Angeles Kings and the Red Wings. Maatta has played in 827 regular-season and playoff games since making his debut in the league in 2013. Last month, he played for Finland in the 4 Nations Face-Off.
