By Kay Drew

ummer is followed by the golden hour called September. It is a time when we move between appreciation and anticipation. Cooler days are ahead when tree branches will stand rigidly against dark skies. But for now, hummingbirds continue to drink sweet nectar, crisp pears and apples are plentiful while amber and garnet leaves twirl and swirl on their descent to the earth. There’s something about September, it’s color and feeling, that fills our hearts with the goodness of nature and home. Why not reflect that beautiful sweep of natural beauty in your decor? Fall decorating can be easy and inexpensive. While it may be tempting to jump to early Halloween embellishments, resist this temptation for a while longer. A more natureinspired decorating choice will take your interior, and exterior, to the next level for this autumn season. Researching and trying new decorating trends are

two of my favorite past times. I am especially fond of this one because it is easy and produces a classic yet unique look. Plus, there will be no difficulty in searching for materials when you follow my steps for casting these concrete mushrooms and pumpkins. This is a perfect project for including your children or friends. It is amazing what creativity and time (which we all seem to have plenty of this year) can produce. I allowed one week to create my concrete decor. This included gathering the materials, mixing, pouring, drying, and arranging. Completion time can be quicker but…… relaxing and enjoying every step was part of joy of the experience. easy steps for making concrete pumpkins and mushrooms Materials list • Dry Concrete mix Clarksville Living

press the wet mixture down into the stocking. This will form the mushroom cap. Once it is setting up, use an edge of a ruler to create indentions for the radiating gills on the underside of the cap. Use your thumb to make a deep indention where the stem will be inserted later.

Return to bowl (after achieving a shape you like) to dry. Remember to push the string at the top into your pumpkin shape slightly so you will have an indented area to add the stem made from a short tree branch. Begin with a smaller size pumpkin and then advance to bigger ones.

Pour concrete into the fabric square. Pull the sides up and place into a plastic bowl. With a rubber band close the top and shape into ball. Using twine, tie around the rubber band. This will be the pumpkin. Once the top is tied and secured, take longer string pieces and tie around the pumpkin to make the scalloped sections of a pumpkin. Use your fingers to press the string and indent the ridges.

Pour concrete into the egg cells of the egg carton. These will form small mushroom caps. Insert a variety of lengths of dry branches vertically for stems before concrete sets up. Last fill a rubber glove with concrete mixture. Push mixture down into the fingers. Cut off the fingers of the glove after they are filled and stand in cups to dry. Insert long nails (head pushed first) or screws to the base of the finger. This makes a metal spike that will help secure when arranging in planters.

slow down, move to another part and work your way back to that area. After removing molds, sand slightly to give them a smoother finish. Leave some imperfections to add character and detail. Once all concrete objects are removed from the molds and sanded, attach the stems to the caps with a little more concrete. Using the same cups and plastic containers, position them upside down for drying overnight. I used moss and leaves that I gathered from walks in my yard, but you can also purchase boxes and bags of moss at Michaels or Hobby Lobby. Using hot

Drying and Finishing Once you have completed these steps, allow the concrete to dry. I let mine set for 24 hours. When dry, remove the string, cloth, rubber glove, and/or stockings. If it seems difficult to remove,

ROMAN

AROUND

GLADIATOR BREWING CO. By Tony Centonze

everal years ago, James Pradke walked into a home brew store in Kansas City. He said, 'I'm going to make beer', the clerk said, 'what do you have', he said, 'I've got nothing, just give me what I need'. Little did he know then that someday beer lovers in Clarksville, Tennessee would be enjoying his unique creations.

Pradke and his wife Funda have been operating Gladiator Brewing Co. since December of 2018. Down for a while after their business model forced them to relocate, they reopened on Tiny Town Road in May. Funda describes herself as an extrovert, and therefore not a fan of Covid-19. “Staying home was not very happy for me,” she said. “I have to see and talk to people all the time. I was so ready for our ribbon cutting, and it exceeded our expectations. It's still Covid time, so we had to lower occupancy, but people seem very interested in getting to know us, and our old regulars are still supporting us.”

happening in the kitchen of our apartment.” “Lo and behold,” James said. “I have my first major boil-over, destroyed the kitchen, upset Funda, everything was sticky. “The clerk invited me out to a brewing class. I went. They laid it all out, it was an all grain class. I graduated from kettle to kettle, from the kitchen to the side yard, and the garage. Before I knew it, I was addicted to the creative process of brewing beer.” Something that makes Gladiator beers different is that they are made from ancient recipes, some, hundreds of years old. “I look for beers that have been around for hundreds of years,” Pradke said. “I bring those recipes back to life. My goal is a perfect beer, that transports people back to a place and time.

James has many passions, among them history, and beer. “I've married two of my passions,” He said. “I fell in love with history in high school. And, really came to understand its importance during my time in the Army.

“The resulting beer is one of our top-sellers. It's pale in color, and the mouth-feel is rather full. This was intended to satisfy farmers who worked all day and needed something to sustain them. Beer, historically, was not just about drinking and having fun, it was an important dietary staple. Water was unpalatable at that time. They had to do something to make it drinkable. That was beer.”

“I was interested in Roman and Latin culture. Downrange with one of my units, our call sign was 'Gladiator'. I love that period in history, It all came together in Gladiator Brewing Co.”

Pradke tries to match, as best he can, everything, from the water, to the hops and specific yeast strains used at the time, in a particular region.

“So, I went to the home brew store in KC, the clerk hands me a box of malts and syrups, and said, 'just follow the instructions.' I spent more than I should have. I'm all geared up. I put the pot on the stove.” Funda interjects, “this is

“I do a ton of research,” he said. “Sometimes, Funda doesn't see me for days. I would say, on average, there is twelve to twenty-four hours of research in each beer we make. I look at

what was happening then, what influenced the laws, what was the role of beer at that time for those people. It's important to understand what their lives were like. The only way to find out is to go into a process of discovery.

CLARKSVILLE’S BEST BURGER SINCE 1965

Pradke says imagination is part of the process, too. He tries to put myself in the time and imagine what life was like back then. He smiles when he says life in medieval Germany in 1250 sounds exciting. He then creates a profile of what everyday life would be like and the ideas begin to flow. Pradke admits that brewing is his Plan B. He and the family were in a serious accident in 2015. There were months of rehab, then a transfer to a warrior transition group brought him to Ft. Campbell. His thirty-year career plan with the Army ended at eighteen.

By 2018, before they moved from Fort Campbell, the garage was filling up with brewing equipment. For the reopening, the Pradkes teamed up with Kevin Smith of Legends Smokehouse & Grill. Funda calls him a God-send. “Kevin is a former Marine, so our principals and work ethic align very well,” Pradke said. “We're all exhausted as a result, but, we have a great team. It took us a while to find that right team.” “Lots of people were interested in running the kitchen, but none felt right,” Funda said. “I was going to just use food trucks, and turn the kitchen area into a cold room. Then, Kevin made a great proposal, and I said, the kitchen is yours. It worked out amazingly well.” Gladiator Brewing features eight taps. Currently, Thraeces, Triticum, Mevia, Fructus, Gladius, Kranion, Spartacus and Sanguis. “Our beers range from 5% – 8% ABV, we have stouts, hefeweisens, ales, and everything we do is single-batch.”

“It was an adjustment,” Pradke said. “I started Pradke & Co. LLC, a consulting company. They say, do something you love. I shared the idea with Funda.” she interjects again, “I said no.” Pradke responds, “she's my level head. I'm a dreamer. I went ahead and did it anyway.” With a smile, Funda said, “classic marriage, isn't it?”

Gladiator Brewing Co., 214 Tiny Town Rd, Clarksville, TN Different styles of beer take different amounts of time to finish. The shortest takes a month, the longest, a year. Gladiator doesn't forcecarbonate. “We let beers carbonate naturally,” Pradke said. The Pradkes say customer response has been fantastic. “They seem to enjoy our beers more,” Pradke said. “They don't feel full. They get a nice, light feeling that sits pleasantly in the stomach, and, the flavors hold up better. There is some customer education involved. They ask why it's different and we explain.” The Pradkes know their upside potential is huge, but they are cautious. “It will require some savvy on our part,” Pradke said. “We have to save our pennies. We have big ideas, but we have to pace ourselves. There is so much to do. We can never be satisfied. “We've got a great framework, but we have to improve. We have a three-phase plan, but we're taking our time. Revenues will determine the pace, but five years is the current goal to get this business where we want it.” Turns out that Tiny Town Road may be the perfect location, too. “A new casino is opening in Oak Grove,” Pradke said. There are hotels in that area, and at exit 1, both areas only 15 minutes away. We're in a really good spot to attract locals and tourists. Fort Campbell is still very much an untapped market. Word-of-mouth will increase that audience for us. Right now, we're working on Brews for the Brave with the Green Beret Foundation, and the Steel Mags. We hope to bridge that gap between Clarksville, Fort Campbell, and Oak Grove.”

HERE WITH A HELPING HAND S eptember brings the beginning of the school year for families all across our area. Never before have students faced so many changes and uncertainty at the beginning of a new school year. These uncertainties can be stressful. Many parents report struggling with their decisions, wondering how their child will fare in a very different learning environment.

Whatever path you have chosen for your childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s education, there are resources and programs available in our area that can help your child succeed. Local tutoring and enrichment services have grown in the last few years, as demand has increased. Families have enlisted the help of tutors for their children for areas of curriculum that may be challenging, for specific skill sets such as learning multiplication tables, learning a foreign language, or preparing for a college entrance exam. These services can be invaluable in helping a student develop confidence in their skills by providing practice and individualized specific instruction tailored for the child. These services become even more important as children are learning in new environments for the first time. There are programs in our area that provide wide and varied enrichment opportunities for children of all ages, in both virtual format and safe traditional options.

zodiacs in quarantine

o two zodiac signs are quarantining the same. Each has a unique personality that is deciding how well (or not) they are handling this seemingly never-ending state of isolation. With all these changes happening in the real world, changes are happening in astrology as well. Planets are shifting to different houses and our behaviors are changing because of it. Some have been able to develop an optimistic outlook towards the pandemic using this as a time for self-discovery and personal growth. Others on the other hand have not been able to adjust to this as easily. They are screaming at the top of their lungs more days than not. Understandably so, being that the new normal is decided daily depending on Covid case counts. Since We are months into a year where people have basically been forced to stay home, some without any family or friends. All these changes in a such short period of time is overwhelming, each of us trying to find and adjust to our new normal. How is this shift affecting each zodiac sign and what they are doing outside of washing their hands repeatedly? (The contents of this article are not scientific facts. They are educated guesses based on various zodiac personality charts.)

THE FIRE SIGNS: ARIES, LEO, & SAGITTARIUS

March 21-April 19 The Ram The first sign in the zodiac and the most fearless, Aries are rebels. They have an â&#x20AC;&#x153;every ram for itselfâ&#x20AC;? mindset. In the days of shelter in place they are left without the usual tools that bring them joy. Never fear, Aries is a sign that is going to make the most of this time. Known for their activity and movement, you can expect to find them fully engaged, at times more than they should, in whatever they are passionate about during quarantine.

Clarksville Living

July 23-August 22 The Lion The mighty Leo lion is anything but timid. As a fire sign, the Leo is enthusiastic, charismatic, and optimistic. Born rulers, these guys are dominating the internet during this confinement period. Toying with the idea of starting a YouTube channel or Instagram live series. Leos are beaming with big ideas and using this opportunity to share them with their following. They are encouraging others to share their own experiences as well. Leave it up to a Leo to bring people even closer together during a period of social distancing.

are planning out future vacations, booking cheap flights and reassuring themselves that the life they lived pre-corona will return. When the day comes, Sagittarius babies are going to be ready to make up for all the fun they have not had lately. THE EARTH SIGNS: TAURUS, VIRGO & CAPRICORN

November 22-December 21 The Archer Captain of every ship, pilot of every voyage, class president, normally they run the show. Due to all the restrictions imposed on them, the Sagis are a little fired up. These freedom-seekers they don’t see the severity of the current situation. However, they do have a respect for rule and order during a crisis. They are playing by the rules while still reaching for the light at the end of the tunnel. In attempt to remain optimistic, they

April 20- May 20 The Bull Nobody loves being in quarantine, but Taurus comes close. They are not overly upset about the safer in place order. It gives them a legitimate excuse to stay home, not speak to anyone and become fully immersed in a new self-care routine. Taurus was made to thrive at home among their creature comforts, so they can stay sane in their own company longer than most. You can expect a Taurus to use healthy practices such as meditating¬¬ in attempt to keep themselves grounded during these uncertain times. They are using Pilates workouts to tire themselves out after a long day of doing nothing in attempt to keep a normal sleep schedule. While they are famous for being the most practical sign of the zodiac, the routine-loving Taurus could go into full meltdown mode if their favorite takeout place shuts down. Continued on page 20

read a book about the first epidemic to strike humankind, check. This is the way that Virgo keeps themselves sane.

waste of my time and nothing is even wrong, everything is fine, excuse me I must get back to my workflow. THE AIR SIGNS- GEMINI, LIBRA, & AQUARIUS

August 23-September 22 The Virgin These thoughtful people are observing, absorbing, and overthinking everything lately. Feel free to text them late in the night because they are rarely sleeping. Nevertheless, a Virgo will thrive under this quarantine, they are intrinsically motivated. Determined and consistent when it comes to achieving their goals. If something does not work out, they may freak out a little bit, but they will try and fail as many times as it takes to find a solution. It is why task completing is what you can expect them to be doing during this quarantine. They will always find something to do- google ‘how not to die of boredom’ check, clean their car like they are about to sell it check, create a new genre of music, check,

December 22-January 19 The Goat Capricorn may be the only sign of the mental capabilities to handle the news in a dire time like this. They are relaxing during quarantine by silently watching the news and taking deep breaths. While the Caps appear to be blocking out the world, they aren’t. They are sorting through exaggerations on the pandemic and distracting their minds with their new online consulting job. If you say to them Hey Cap, you feeling a lot of scary things right now, huh? A typical Capricorn might be like, hahahahaha what are you talking about?? Emotions are a

May 21-June 20 The Twins Kind of worried also kind of not. You can count on this sign for up to date information on ‘rona’. The Gems are notoriously knowledgeable. They are taking advantage of all this “free” time by enrolling and completing a full semesters worth of those free Ivy League online college courses. When quarantine ends, lookout, they are going to come at you with all that new information, keep up.

September 23 - October 22 The Scales Libras have an idealistic view of things. They probably did not realize the severity of a quarantined lifestyle at first. As the most social sign in the Zodiac, this whole “social life is cancelled but you still have to work and pay bills” way of life is hitting them hard. This sign has a vibe and part of that vibe is a balanced lifestyle, their symbol is a scale for a reason. None of this solidarity was on their 2020 vision board.

January 20-Febuary 18 The Water Bearer 20

Clarksville Living

Like the air sign that they are, Aquarians don’t have a single clear shape, defying categorization. They are the most humanitarian sign of the zodiac who spending much of time setting fire to themselves to keep others warm, virus or not. They will worry about the world’s suffering until they collapse in on themselves like a dying star. On their most emotional days they fully engage in major research on the virus and reading articles on possible cures. At the same time, they are loners. Being an intrinsically independent sign, means alone time as necessary as eating and breathing. Chances of finding an bored Aquarius are slim to none. They are busier than they have ever been during quarantine. Busy on You Tube, diving deep into conspiracy theories, PLANDEMIC. THE WATER SIGNS: CANCER, SCORPIO, & PISCES

June 21-July 22 The Crab Cancers left alone are the highest form of emotional, as a water sign, it makes sense. They derive most of their happiness from being around others. Hard to know what they are up to, no one has heard from them in weeks. A Cancer who is scared withdraws, not just in the social distancing way, but like, in the way where they pretend they dropped their phone in water and came down with a rare form of blindness that impacts their ability to read emails and texts. By this stage of quarantine most Cancers crabs have made camp under their favorite rocks, content with hiding until life begins again. They are having parties for one and singing the "does anything even matter anymore" blues.

October 23- November 21 The Scorpion Scorpios love to go deep in a crisis, being alone for long amounts of time can lead them down rabbit holes, often too deep. Lovers of drama and mystery, Scorpios are the sign most likely to go on a coronavirus YouTube hole and come out the other end screaming at their roommates about 5G. They deal with anxiety by trying to explain the unexplainable, making them the sign most likely to forward a link about COVID and UFO sightings to the family chat. They have overeducated themselves so much during all of this and are considering staying isolated forever.

February 19- March 20 The Fishes Pisces is probably really going through it right now. Pisces love to chill, so this mandatory chill time comes somewhat naturally to them. They just are not big fans of a solo chill. Pisces are thinking it is still okay to spend time together in small intimate groups, right? The little fish swim around from the apartment of one friend to another, you guys they HAVE TO see their buds. They also have no problem going deep into the spiritual realm in times of crisis- they are fully stocked on crystals and essential oils. They spend too many days pushing the social distancing envelope by hand delivering holistic healing gift baskets to all.

tips to Making sure your cat stays purrrrfectly healthy By Christina Chittenden

Do you have a cat? Or are you thinking about adopting a kitten or cat? If so, here are some important tips to keep your cat healthy. 1. SCHEDULE REGULAR VETERINARY VISITS. At each annual visit, your vet will be able to tell if your cat is at a healthy weight, administer vaccines, and clean your cat’s teeth. Cats have different veterinary requirements than dogs. A veterinarian specializing in feline health and anatomy can help keep your cat in the best possible health.

2. SPAY OR NEUTER YOUR CAT. Reproductive diseases can affect cats of both genders, both male and female. Spaying prevents uterine infections, ovarian cancers and breast tumors in female cats, and neutering prevents testicular cancer and some prostate problems in males. And the best benefit: Your cat won't contribute to the pet overpopulation situation.

3. GROOM YOUR CAT REGULARLY. Whether your cat has short or long fur, cats will benefit from regular brushing or combing to remove dead hair from their coat so they don’t ingest it while self-grooming. It also gives you the chance to notice any irregularities such as lumps, bumps or sore spots that should be brought to the attention of your vet. 22

Clarksville Living

4. DECIDE WHAT TYPE OF FOOD TO FEED YOUR CAT. Cat food comes in different forms, including dry food, semi-moist, and canned. Dry food is easy to store but semi-moist or canned food can add more fluid to your cat’s diet. Although food type may start out as your preference, it often ends up as your cat’s preference.

5. PROVIDE YOUR CAT WITH PLENTY OF FRESH WATER DAILY. Clean, fresh water is essential for a cat's good health. Be sure to replenish the water daily.

6. HAVE ENOUGH LITTER BOXES. A general rule of thumb is one for each cat plus one more. For example, if you have 2 cats, you should have 3 litter boxes. To encourage good litter box habits, keep the litter boxes clean. This may mean scooping more than once per day. Regular cleaning will also help you notice any changes in your cat's urine or stool, which could indicate a health issue.

7. NOTICE IF YOUR CAT STARTS URINATING

OUTSIDE ITS LITTER BOX. Sometimes a cat will urinate outside his litter box if the box is dirty. But a change in litter box habits could also mean that your cat might have a urinary tract infection or other medical issue.

8. TRAIN YOUR CAT TO USE A SCRATCHING POST. This helps your cats stretch their muscles and keep their claws in good condition by removing the old layers from your cat's claws. It also helps protect your furniture!

9. USE A CAT CARRIER IN THE CAR. Transport your cat in an appropriate carrier. Allowing your cat to roam freely in the car can be distracting to the driver, which can lead to accidents.
