Three Juveniles Stabbed in Fort Campbell Blvd altercation

April 9, 2011 |

Clarksville, TN – On April 9th, 2011, around 1:00am, there were three juveniles stabbed in a business parking lot at Papa Murphy’s Take ‘n’ Bake (1571 Fort Campbell Blvd).  The details are sketchy, suspect information, and the stories conflicting about the events which led up to the stabbings.

From the limited information we have been able to gather, there were two large groups of girls that got into an argument at another club in Clarksville (we have been unable to validate the name of the club).  The argument continued after the girls left the club, in multiple vehicles, and traveled north on Fort Campbell Blvd. The group was arguing back and forth between the vehicles and a decision was made to pull onto a business parking lot at 1571 Fort Campbell Blvd to fight. «Read the rest of this article»

Our Community Matters

By Rita Arancibia | April 9, 2011 |

Where you learn about your community, and all that we are!

I am thrilled with the opportunity to write about community in this new column “Our Community Matters.” As I sat down to write, I thought of many great topics that I could choose. I kept coming back to how important it is to me to feel connected to my community, to feel that I am a part of making it a better place; to feel I am participating and grounded- that I have roots here. Then it struck me and I realized that the feeling of being a part of something we call community – well, it’s a soul thing. So I thought it would be interesting to do a survey modeled after the Knight Foundation’s “Soul of the Community” Project. The survey helps cities discover what really attaches people to their community. Is it safe streets, great schools, affordable housing, health care access or is it something deeper that draws people to a certain place. What makes them want to put down roots and build a life there? «Read the rest of this article»

April 9, 2011 |

Clarksville, TN – Some 13 years after his untimely death, the artist and musician Tom Malone is still fondly remembered in the Clarksville community. People often speak reverently of the former Austin Peay State University art student’s prolific and inspired output of work, ranging from painting to drawing to sculpture to jewelry to designing musical instruments and handcrafted furniture.

“To me, he glowed with creativity and I could sense that he had a better existence than me because he was able to let go of what was expected of him, exist through a job as a job and live life as an artist,” local musician Syd Hedrick wrote in an essay on Malone in 1999. «Read the rest of this article»
