The cover feature, “Trevor Baucom: Variations of Flight and Fatherhood,” profiles a local artist whose work and life intertwine themes of flight and family — the kind of in-depth creative portrait the magazine returns to when celebrating the makers who give Clarksville its character.

The issue welcomes Austin Peay's new athletic director, Derek van der Merwe, introducing readers to the leader stepping in to shape the Governors' sports future — a notable moment for a community deeply invested in APSU athletics.

“The First Tee of Clarksville: Life Lessons Through Golf” spotlights the youth program that uses the game to teach character and values, showing how a sport can shape young people well beyond the fairway.

The health pages offer practical guidance on treating cuts, scratches and scrapes, a “Mac and Cheese” recipe adds comfort, and a “Giving Thanks” feature rounds out a well-rounded March number.

The recurring departments and photo pages round out a March issue centered on the people shaping the community. An artist exploring flight and fatherhood, a new athletic director for the Governors, and a youth golf program teaching life lessons all share the same pages — each a story about growth, mentorship or reinvention. It is the characteristic range of a Clarksville Family number, celebrating the makers, leaders and young people who give the city its character while still finding room for a comfort-food recipe and practical health guidance. As spring arrives, the issue reads like an introduction to the individuals carrying the community forward into a new season.
