The cover feature, by Taylor K. Lieberstein, celebrated a simple truth: small businesses are the heartbeat of the community. The piece lands with particular weight in a growing city, where national chains increasingly compete with the local shops that give a place its personality — and by putting those entrepreneurs on the cover, the magazine made a quiet argument for where a community's dollars, and its loyalty, are best spent.
With summer winding down, the issue turned toward the coming school year, offering families the practical guidance and local resources that ease the transition back to the classroom. It was also timed to a once-in-a-lifetime event: the total solar eclipse of August 21, 2017, whose path of totality passed within thirty minutes of Clarksville — the best chance, the feature noted, that readers would have to witness such an eclipse in their lifetimes, right in their own backyard.
The recurring departments, health and finance coverage round out an August issue that puts the community's small businesses front and center while helping families turn toward the school year — homegrown pride balanced with the practical, back-to-school guidance families need as the season's final stretch gives way to fall.
Beyond the small-business cover, the issue carried a substantive dental feature on implant-supported permanent dentures. For patients who have lost all or most of their lower teeth — where ordinary dentures sit far less stably than in the upper jaw — anchoring the denture to implants offers a sturdier way to restore a whole smile. Over time, the feature noted, any denture can lose its fit as the jawbone changes and the artificial teeth wear, which is what makes the implant-supported option worth understanding before that day comes.
