“Are You a Donald Duck or a Pink Panther?” brings a fun, revealing look at personality types, an engaging feature that helps readers understand themselves and the people around them.

Fittingly for American Heart Month, “Maintaining Cholesterol for a Healthy Heart” offers practical guidance for protecting cardiac health, and “The Arts and the Homeschool Advantage” explores creative education for the growing number of local homeschooling families.

A “My Story” feature shares a personal local account, safety coverage rounds out the issue, and the recurring departments complete a February number balancing inclusion, self-understanding and heart health.

The recurring departments and photo pages round out a February issue that leads with inclusion and heart. Buddy Ball's celebration of special-needs athletes anchors the issue in the community's best instincts, while the personality feature and heart-health guidance add fun and substance. It is the characteristic warmth of a Clarksville Family number, championing a program that ensures every child gets to play while still looking after every reader's cardiac health. As American Heart Month unfolds, the issue reminds readers that a strong community, like a strong heart, depends on caring for everyone in it — especially those who need an extra hand to get in the game.
