The cover feature, “Kelly Blevins' New Story — Hope and Motherhood in Ethiopia,” revisits a woman Clarksville readers first met years earlier through her breast-cancer journey, now following her into a new chapter of hope and motherhood halfway around the world — a moving continuation of a story the magazine had long been part of.

“Clarksville Zombie Hunters” brings seasonal fun with a look at the local enthusiasts embracing the Halloween spirit, a playful October feature for fans of the undead.

The health pages are especially practical this month: “The Flu Vaccine” prepares readers for the season ahead, while “4 Possible Reasons Your Back Hurts” and “Neck Pain: Common Causes, At-Home Tips, and Treatment” address two of the most common sources of everyday discomfort.

The issue also includes cosmetic-care coverage, and the recurring departments and photo pages round out an October number that pairs a deeply human cover story with seasonal fun and practical health.
