MANY PUBLIC SCHOOL

ALTERNATIVES

ore and more families are choosing private school for their children, and there are currently more options available in the Clarksville area than ever before. While neighboring cities have always offered multiple private options, until the last few years choices were limited in Montgomery County. As more schools open, more unique educational options become available to families.

The oldest private school option in Clarksville is Immaculate Conception School. Founded in 1860 by Immaculate Conception Church under the name St. Aloysius School for Boys and Girls, the school has operated under different names throughout history until coming to the current name in 2011. ICS is a diocesan parochial school, approved by the Bishop of Nashville

operating under the supervision of the Superintendent of Catholic Schools for the Diocese of Nashville. Accredited by the State of Tennessee and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), the pastor is the chief administrator of the parish, and the principal of the school is responsible for the administration of the school and for instructional programming. Currently the school serves children in PreK through 8th grade on their two campuses (740 Franklin Street for the PreK programs and 1901 Madison Street for K-8). The official school website states, “Our mission is to develop the spiritual, intellectual, physical, and social growth of each child by providing a quality educational experience in an atmosphere of faith.” A broad and well balanced curriculum includes unique offerings such as religion, family life, and handwriting. ICS is a feeder school to the diocesan college preparatory high school, Pope John Paul II High School in Hendersonville, TN. The school with the second longest history in our community is Clarksville Academy. Located at 710 North Second Street, Clarksville Academy opened in 1969 when a group of parents met with a desire to create a school with low student to teacher ratio, well-qualified teachers, and a headmaster to supervise the education and training of children. CA opened their doors for the first time on August 31, 1970 with students in grades 1-9. Today the school continues to grow, offering PreK-12 classes for students. High quality college preparatory education is offered through an innovative and challenging curriculum, with unique opportunities such as foreign languages, Makerspace/STEAM programs, and Winterim learning opportunities. CA offers a wide variety of athletics programs, fine arts classes, honors and advanced placement classes, and dual enrollment programs in cooperation with APSU. Small class sizes continue to be a priority at the school where a diverse student body works together in a culture of community service. For the fall of 2021, they will be launching a reimagined intermediate school experience with expanded faculty and course offerings for grades 5-8. Opening in 2007 in the youth education wing as a ministry of Hilldale Church of Christ, Clarksville Christian School continues to grow in the Sango area of Clarksville. The school moved into their current building at 505 Hwy. 76 in 2010 and added their gymnasium, stage, music classrooms and science lab in 2014. According to their website, CCS currently serves 400 students and counting, in grades PreK-12. Student to faculty ratio is 11:1, with all students participating in weekly chapel and daily Bible classes. The school is accredited by Association of Christian Schools International as well as Cognia. Secondary school students have the opportunity to participate in honors, AP and dual enrollment classes. More athletic opportunities are offered each year, with new sports being represented. The school boasts an award winning choir program. Amare Montessori serves children ages 18 months through adolescence. According to their website, Amare Montessori is a community of adults and children, working in tandem, to meet the needs of each individual learner. Amare faculty strongly encourage an open and honest dialogue among staff members and parents to ensure that each child’s needs are met to the fullest degree.AM opened in August 2015 as a satellite school under the umbrella of the Tennessee non-profit Montessori Academy, Inc. The school is located at 294 Warfield Drive. The newest school in our community is Chapel Hill Christian Academy. Opening in 2020, the school continues to grow both in enrollment and in classes offered. For fall 2021, grades PreK through 6th will be offered at their location at 225 Little Hope Road. According to their website, the mission of Chapel Hill Christian Academy is to partner with families in the teaching of their children by providing an education that is distinctively Christian, academically excellent, Biblically saturated and service and mission oriented. CHCA offers daily chapel, Bible classes,

Bob Jones University curriculum, as well as numerous enrichment classes such as Spanish, music, missions, service, PE and library. The school offers a unique hybrid homeschool program, where children can participate in half or whole day programs. For all students, the school day at CHCA ends with a time of reflection and gratitude, which their website states is “helps reach the heart of our students and inspire them to be the woman or man of God they are made to be, while strengthening their awareness of God’s presence in their lives and the power of prayer.” Power & Grace Preparatory Academy opened their doors at 231 Dunbar Cave Rd. in 2016. According to their website, PGPA is committed to a unique mission of preparing youth for life by building character and academic excellence with an emphasis on Jesus Christ and leadership. Their mission is for each student to grow intellectually and maximize the attributes of power and grace through the intentional, high expectation of educational instruction, leadership development, and Christian doctrine. Classes available may vary from year to year as determined by enrollment, but PreK/3 and 2nd through 5th grades are available for 2021. PGPA places high emphasis on parent participation, citing the power of partnership between parents and teachers as vital to student success. Unity Christian Academy is located at 256 Uffelman Drive, and opened their doors in 2003 as an outreach ministry of Unity Christian Center. The school began with five retired educators providing tutoring services, until the need became too great and a school was formed. Currently serving students in grades PreK 4 through 12, the school states that their purpose is to provide children not only with an academic education, but also with an education that is based upon and consistent with Biblical teachings. Small class sizes and an emphasis on parent involvement are hallmarks mentioned in parent reviews of the school. UCA is a member of Accelerated Christian Education (School of Tomorrow) and is accredited through Dual Enrollment with Lighthouse Christian Academy. Tabernacle Christian School offers small class sizes and personal connections. TCS opened in 1999 under the vision and leadership of Pastor Jimmy Terry, Sr. to provide a safe and nurturing environment that enables a child to obtain academic excellence, spiritual, emotional, and physical development through the teachings of Christian principles and values. TSC provides students with a biblical perspective curriculum that prepares and inspires them for success in life. The educational program equips students with the skills and ability necessary to sustain and guard a Christian worldview. A ministry of Tabernacle Missionary Baptist Church, the school is located at 301 Market Street. The school currently offers classes for students in grades Pre-K 3 & 4, K-5 and 6th grade. Low student to teacher ratios and emphasis on Christian education are frequently mentioned in parent reviews of the school.

Established in 2018, Montgomery Academy is a hybrid school option available for families, the only school of its kind in the area utilizing a classical Christian and Charlotte Mason framework. According to their website, MA seeks to offer excellent instruction in Literature, Logic, Writing, Art, and Science with time for processing, exploration, and creativity. Located at 2760 Trenton Rd, the school meets on Mondays and Wednesdays between the hours of 9:30AM2:30PM. Their unique hybrid program places emphasis on their belief that parents have the primary responsibility and privilege of educating and discipling their children. MA faculty seek to strengthen and encourage rather than replace family. It is the desire of MA to not only provide a solid, life-giving education for students, but to empower families to do the same. The school offers training resources, including inservice and conference times, curriculum training, and supplementary resources for parents throughout the school year. For families that choose to homeschool, there are several options within our community. First Presbyterian Church Learning Center offers small group learning communities in full or part time classes four days a week for students in grades K through 12. According to their website, “FPC-Learning Center offers a comprehensive, individualized education where students can speak openly and celebrate Jesus Christ and His presence in their lives, while finding their individual learning style and ways to be successful. Online and in-person small group classes are designed to meet the diverse academic needs for homeschooled students of all ages. We love working with students and challenging them to "think outside the box." By encouraging their strengths, weaknesses are diminished and confidence is built”. Wildwood Academy is located at 1015 Madison Street and is a Category IV school, registered as a Non-Public, Church-Related School in the State of Tennessee using the A.C.E. Curriculum. WA offers assistance to home school parents with a full service school administration office from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.

Never before have there been so many available options for families seeking the right educational environment for their child. Finding a school with a focus that lines up with your own family may take time and effort, but with so many options available you are sure to find one that will ensure great success for your child!

stretch them out. Now, when we have a seventy-five minute set we want to put a bunch of songs in there. “I think everybody gets a chance to shine in this band, and that's a big part of the magic. Everybody in the band is really gracious when it comes to supporting each other in the music. Everybody gets a turn. We've really had a great time with this band, and we're so grateful to be able to get out and play. We look forward to keep right on truckin'.

summertime blues

f you look at the lineup for this year's Hot August Blues Festival at Kenlake State Resort Park, scheduled for August 27 & 28, you'll see the names of more than a dozen bands, headlined by The Legendary Shack Shakers, and Clarksville's own Nightmasters.

“Hot August Blues is a tradition, a mini blues-fest that's been going on for more than thirty years now,” Nightmasters co-founder Ken Jolly said. “I was very surprised to get the call.” Jolly started the group back in 2015. A local venue asked him if he would be willing to put together a Sunday afternoon blues jam, and he agreed. “We've been together since January of 2015,” co-founder Sam Haines said. “We started at The Lodge for a couple of weeks, then moved down to Section 125 on Franklin Street. It was a Sunday blues jam. We would play the first hour or so, and then open the stage up to guests. Within just a few weeks we had people coming in from everywhere wanting to sit in. Some people were driving fifty miles to play with us. “Ken Jolly is the one who got the opportunity. He called me, Tim Seay and Alan Goins. Ken said, 'you guys want to come down and do this blues jam every Sunday.' We all said, sure, and within the first hour we knew there was some magic there. This group has been a lot of fun, right out of the gate.” What attracted everyone to the project was simple, a chance to play with good musicians, and to do material that was, according to Haines, “off the beaten path. I was playing back when it was all unplugged, since the mid 70's. Ken wanted us to to be different, not play the same songs we had been playing over and over, for years. “We do a mixture of rock and blues. We're known as a jam band. We don't have a set playlist. We normally piece the show together right before we go on stage. Having started with the Sunday blues jam, we had a deep well of material, probably 150 or more songs. We quickly gravitated toward what we do now.” In addition to guitarists Ken Jolly and Sam Haines, the line-up includes Tim Seay on drums, Isaac Frost on bass, John Hassell on keyboards and saxophonist Henry Rives. “Our line-up provides us with a very large canvas,” Haines said. “And, I seem to have the gift of surrounding myself with really fabulous musicians. They all have a lot of experience, which allows us to be really spontaneous. You have to be on your toes to do that.”

The band has played at Jammin' in the Alley, Downtown Commons, Old Glory Distilling Co. and other premium venues in the area. They host and headline the annual Port Royal Vineyards Band Bash. And, no matter where they play, their audience is conspicuously populated with other local musicians. “Several hundred people come out for the Band Bash every year,” Haines said. “Main Street Guthrie is among our favorites annual gigs as well. I guess we do about twenty shows a year, and here's some inside information, this band never rehearses. If we started rehearsing, everybody would quit. “We sound pretty good without rehearsing, and that's because these guys are great musicians. I joke about us being an odd fellowship of older guys who make a lot of noise, but there is a lot of experience in this band.” Haines met Jolly back in the late 1970's. He says Jolly became his friend and mentor. “Ken was playing several nights a week in a house band,” Haines said. “I would go to see him and he would let me sit in and play. We've been friends a long time. Ken is 73 years old now, and he is still bringing it. This year, he is playing as well as he has ever played, and he has worked with some famous people over the years, too.” Haines says part of what makes Nightmasters work is that they are a democracy. “Nobody owns it. I think it's an equal-share kind of thing. In July we'll be doing a couple of private events. In August we'll be at Main Street Guthrie, and then we're co-headlining the Hot August Blues Festival up in Hardin, Kentucky. That event is right on the lake, and it draws a lot of people. I don't think about how many, 'cause it'll make me nervous. For Hot August Blues, Haines admits that they'll plan a little more about what they're going to play.

“You have limited time when you're playing a show like that, with a lot of other bands. We'll have to be organized. Being at this point is really beyond what I expected. I'm getting to do some things with this band that I wanted to do when I first picked up a guitar.” Haines jokes about being the lost Doobie Brother. He counts southern rock as a main influence. “Lynyrd Skynyrd, Allman Brothers, the Eagles and Aerosmith were big influences of course, all the stuff from that era, mid-70's to early 80's, that's what I cut my teeth on,” Haines said. “We play a lot of traditional blues and southern rock. We like to play those songs that just keep on going, but they're not going as long as they used to,” he laughed. “When we had the stage for three or four hours, we could

“I hope we can keep this going for years to come. We play well together, and we're all friends. Between shows we talk and text. John and I cut-up and carry-on. It's a fellowship. We're just having a good time and playing music.”

Jolly at the age of 73, is also thankful for the support his band gets from fans and fellow musicians in the community. At a recent Downtown Commons show, Lloyd Nicely of Mom and Dad's Music brought a rare and expensive 1957 Gibson Les Paul Gold Top onto the stage for Jolly to play. “I was so honored,” Jolly said. “Sam was standing over my shoulder the whole time. He was drooling so hard my shirt got wet. Nightmasters has been an amazing experience. I just wanted to get a few guys together for a couple of weekends, nothing serious. I never thought it would turn into this. It's a really good outfit. “I'm humbled every time I'm able to get up there with these guys. I'm glad I can still do it. Its nice to be accepted by the younger guys too. Its nice to fire it up. A friend passed away from cancer a few years ago. He was one of the finest guitar players I ever heard in my life. If he were on stage with you he wouldn't overplay you, or try to hurt your feelings. But, if you decided you wanted to show off, he could put you in your place real quick. That's the kind of guy I would like to be.” Jolly confirmed Haines' claims that the band never rehearses together. “Because these guys are all excellent, we just get together and play,” Jolly said. “That adds to the freshness of our sound. Our music is never the same twice. It's a blues/rock band and a jam band, and we love to get into that open-ended stuff. We love to play the same song for fifteen or twenty minutes. “In addition to the Allman Brothers, Marshall Tucker Band and the Doobie Brothers, we love to get into the funk guys, like Otis Redding and JJ Cale. And, people seem to like what we do. This will be our third year playing at Main Street Guthrie. At Hot August Blues we'll be opening for The Legendary Shack Shakers. That's a real feather in our cap. J.D. Wilkes is one of the best harmonica players I've ever heard.” Jolly has slowed down a bit these last few years. In the beginning he was handling all the bookings for the band. Now, he lets Haines do that part. “Sam does It all now,” Jolly said. “I don't want to talk money, I just want to talk music. I'm gonna do it 'til I can't anymore. As long as I can play guitar and be upright, I want to stay out there as long as I can. “Ive been playing since I was eleven years old. It's very important to me. I like the camaraderie of being with other musicians, learning and teaching music has been a lifelong passion. I just want to rock and roll 'til the end, man. Ya know?”

Hand building wood decor for your home might seem daunting at first, but the friendly and encouraging staff at Nailed It DIY Studio are prepared to teach techniques and skills that allow you to create in ways you never imagined. Leanne and John Lannan went to a popular art studio in Nashville a few years ago on a date night for their anniversary. While they enjoyed the experience, they left the event with the same piece of art as everyone else in the class. They knew that there had to be a different way to teach people techniques while allowing creativity to shine through. When we sat down to chat recently, we both laughed at our previous experiences and the many handmade projects that we do not display in our homes. The couple made up their minds to find a way to offer something different in Clarksville that would allow people to customize projects to reflect their own personalities and fit in with their existing home decor. Leanne’s passion for encouraging creativity and providing the tools and skills to encourage others is contagious. While in the studio I learned to create a wood stack by using an orbital sander and power staple gun- two things I have never used in crafting before! After researching for quite a while, the couple settled on a franchise called Nailed It DIY. They loved that groups could come in and everyone could create something unique. No cooke cutter projects here! The Nailed It model allowed them to make their own family a part of their business,

allowing them to create space attached to their retail storefront to allow their children to relax and feel at home while their parents worked. They looked at spaces all over the community, and settled on the perfect spot in the Sango area and signed a lease. Then...the pandemic hit. Construction ground to a halt, delay after delay pushed back their projected opening date. It was a stressful time, but now reflecting on that period Leanne says that it was a blessing. Seeing how their builder handled everything so gracefully and connected her to contractors who not only worked with her but taught her as she built things for the studio were affirmations that their family was doing the right thing. Months went by and the building slowly came to life, and with it the bright and beautiful studio. All around are touches of the couple’s handiwork in the beautiful u-shaped work counters, the studio stage, and the stunning light fixtures. The delays caused by the pandemic are a memory now, and the family was finally able to see their dream come to life. They held a soft opening on May 5 and a fabulous grand opening event on June 4. Their grand opening event was more than just inviting the community into the studio, it was an example of how the Lannans see Nailed It DIY growing into a part of the community. There were food trucks, projects, and live music. Exactly how they see future events developing! They have already begun to offer wonderful events, such as “Donuts with Dad”, where kids and parents can enjoy a pastry, coffee, and some DIY together. For July they are partnering with local business Charcuterie Allie to host a “S’mores Board DIY”, where participants can create their own charcuterie board and Allie will teach how to create a show stopping s’mores themed

Clarksville Living

feast to go on the project when complete. “Youth Camps” are already going strong, with four day programs or a “Fri-Yay” option available. Leanne says the children’s events are so much fun because she plans many projects and snacks for the kids but allows them to lead the way, which leads to fun and creative ideas blossoming for everyone. She is excited to offer a five day camp just before school begins in August. For July, August and September there are “Unplugged” nights planned, which sound like perfect date night or girls night out events. Live music on the studio stage, food trucks, projects and BYOB- much more exciting than dinner and a movie! The Lannons have so many great plans for the future. Leanne is excited to collaborate with other creative businesses in the area to offer special projects and events. “Junior Woodshop” classes, collaboration with local Forestry Service officials to educate and create necessary items such as bat boxes and owl houses, and more parent/child events each month. They offer corporate events such as community groups and clubs, teacher appreciation and more. Team building activities for schools, small businesses, scout troops and sports teams are available, as well as celebrations for birthdays, baby showers, retirement, and bridal/wedding showers. Think creatively for your next event and host at Nailed It DIY to mix friends, laughter and the ultimate DIY experience to create an event to be remembered! Stop in and shop the retail section for unique home decor, and make plans while you are there to create your own. Visit their website to book studio time, view project ideas, and find out more about hosting an event, your next date night, or ladies night out. Leanne and John, along with their helpful staff, are ready to help you think creatively, learn the skills to manifest your ideas, and create something unique!

Camp Campbell

By Paige Eisemann

very citizen of Montgomery County and the surrounding areas is familiar with Fort Campbell. The military has become such a deeply ingrained part of our community that we often take it for granted. There are still many people in our communities who remember when the post began, and have seen it grow and change along with our country.

As construction began on the future Camp Campbell, Clarksville began a series of upgrades to transportation infrastructure, water treatment facilities, sewage disposal, health care facilities, police radio systems and telephone services in preparation for the influx of military personnel that would be coming to the area. In a decision still questioned by many today, the installation officially became Camp Campbell, Kentucky on February 6,1942 due to the post office being in the community of Oak Grove, Kentucky. In July 1942 Camp Campbell was officially activated, with one officer and nineteen enlisted men arriving. The first combat troops arrived on September 15 with the activation of the 12th Armored Division and by January 1943 newspapers reported significant changes in Clarksville, including a population increase from 12,000 to 15,000 residents apart from troops, an economic boom, and on the downside, an increase in reported diseases. The official Army website states, “According to the Completion Report, the construction involved providing "housing for 33,011 enlisted men, 1,736 officers, a 1,254 bed hospital, numerous warehouses, arms rooms, motor pools, and more." Our region was forever changed, and the military became an everyday part of life in Clarksville.

Camp Campbell was originally built in 1941/1942 as a temporary installation to be used as an armored training center as the United States prepared for war, and named the Kentucky-Tennessee Armor Camp. This mobilization camp was designed as a temporary training base during World War II. The military felt they were woefully behind Germany and other nations in armored troops, and they found that our location was perfect for training (due to the mild climate which allowed for year round training and how the landscape mimicked that of the European theater). The installation was originally given a Tennessee address because of its proximity to Clarksville. When the Federal government acquired this area in northern Tennessee and southern Kentucky above the Cumberland River, the community was excited by the possibility of increased businesses to the area. Then land appraisals began, and many farmers felt that the prices they were offered for their land were unfair. According to A Historical Context of WWII on Fort Campbell, KY by Samiran Chanchani, PhD & Christopher Leary, Staff Archeologist of BHE Environmental in Louisville, KY, local newspapers reported concern for the farmers in the site area and for the impact the construction and the arrival of thousands of troops would have on neighboring communities and cities. There had been residents and businesses on the land in question for many, many years. On the 1877 map there were buildings, homes Activation of the 20th Armored Division at Camp Campbell, 1943 and farms that still stood in 1941, as well as newer buildings, constructed during the more recent past. Three existing buildings at the post and located in Montgomery County were the Durrett House, the Pressler House, and the Childers House, all constructed during the 1930s. These homes and others like them were a testimony to the newer buildings constructed in the area and the families who lived on that land. It seemed that there were many different points of view throughout the community, but the raging war in Europe and the need for a strengthened military overshadowed everything. Some local farmers took a plea for just pricing all the way to Washington, meeting with senators and congressmen in hopes that their land would be more fairly appraised. Eventually terms were agreed upon and orders for all residents of the new cantonment area ordered to evacuate by February 10, and all project areas within Montgomery and Stewart Counties in Tennessee as well as Trigg and Christian Counties in Kentucky to be vacant by June 1. By March of 1942 the exodus of the farmers and their families who had formerly called the land their home was in full swing. By April, relocation was reported nearly complete with all families settling in other areas throughout the region.

New construction begins in 1951 at the newly named Fort Campbell now a permanent military installation, with WWII era construction shown in the background.

Clarksville Living

According to the official Ft. Campbell website, the post was named for William Bowen Campbell, a distinguished soldier who had served in the Seminole War, MexicanAmerican War, and in the Union Army during the Civil War. Campbell also served as a member of the Tennessee state legislature, a three-time member of the U.S. House of Representatives, and governor of Tennessee. Due to building material shortages in the time of war, the military ordered “all construction should be of the cheapest temporary character”. All buildings, including troop housing, warehouses, administration and service buildings were of the mobilization type. Exceptions to this directive were the chapels and hospital constructed on the base. Fourteen chapels representing multiple denominations and a large hospital capable of housing over one thousand patients were constructed as stationary structures built with brick and mortar. The camp was built rapidly, with almost 70% of the planned structures being erected within five months of work beginning. This rapid pace has been attributed to the local community providing a readily available workforce, as most local workers were out of work due to the war-related collapse of the tobacco market abroad. Over the first few years, the post became home to many different units. Notable among those are the 12th Armored Division and the 14th Armored Division (who were instrumental in the European theater), Women’s Army Corp (also known as WACs) which arrived in 1943, the 26th Yankee Infantry Division, the 1580th Service Command Unit, and the 4th Armored Corps. The post also housed German POWs who were held in three stockades from 1943-1946. In 1949, the 11th Airborne Division made the camp their permanent home. As World War II drew to a close, Camp Campbell’s mission shifted from training and mobilization to temporary redeployment for returning troops. Their website states, “The post was deemed "satisfactory for postwar use" by the Army's Office of the Chief of Engineers due to the available
