The cover feature, “Helping Children One Stitch at a Time,” profiled a local effort using needle and thread to make a difference for kids in need.
“CMCSS Safety Procedures After Sandy Hook” addressed a subject weighing heavily on parents in early 2013, explaining the steps local schools were taking to keep students safe in the wake of a national tragedy — substantive, reassuring coverage on an urgent topic. “APSU Bat Project Monitors Spread of White Nose Syndrome” spotlighted university researchers tracking a devastating disease affecting bat populations, a fascinating look at local science with real ecological stakes. The Father Daughter Ball returned as a beautiful tradition, the health pages covered heart-attack warning signs for American Heart Month, and a chocolate-drizzled-strawberries recipe added Valentine's sweetness.
The recurring departments round out a February number that pairs warmth with real substance — able to reassure a worried parent on one page and spark wonder about local science on the next.
Around the cover's charitable stitching, the issue ranged widely: the APSU Bat Project's monitoring of white-nose syndrome, the Father Daughter Ball's cherished tradition, and a clear-eyed look at the safety procedures Clarksville-Montgomery County schools had adopted after Sandy Hook. Practical service coverage threaded through — heart-attack warning signs for American Heart Month, a note that a tax refund could go toward fixing debt, and a chocolate-drizzled-strawberries recipe for Valentine's Day.
