Here's your local news at a glance for Monday, the 20th of October.
Good morning, Clarksville.
🏘️ Community
Manna Cafe Ministries, a local charity in its 15th year, is expanding its annual food drive to all of October — asking residents to donate three months’ worth of non-perishable food needed for winter.
Debra Sutton explained the drive’s plans on Clarksville Conversations with hosts Charlie Koon and Ryan Ploeckelman.
🚧 Accidents
A 101st Airborne Division soldier, Sgt. Terell Seales, died Oct.
18 from wounds he got in a vehicle accident during training at the Joint Multinational Readiness Center in Hohenfels—he served as a motor transport operator with the 2nd Mobile Brigade Combat Team and his death is under investigation.
🏛️ Government
A government shutdown forced the Tennessee Rehabilitation Center in Smyrna to close suddenly, and Michelle Kiewell said her special needs son had to leave campus before he could start his internship.
The Department of Human Services said students can continue learning online — though families worry that this abrupt change may set back recent progress.
🏈 Sports
Titans interim coach Mike McCoy saw his team lose 31 to 13 as the Patriots took control after early promise turned to turnovers—quarterback Cam Ward struggled while defensive players Jeffery Simmons and L’Jarius Sneed were injured.
The Titans say they will fight in their next game and work to improve their play.
Cameron Menefee is a dedicated local soccer supporter who cheers on every high school team in Clarksville.
