The county will try to prevent future floods with a strange, rarely-used technology that both soaks up water and prevents erosion. It's called "trees." Meanwhile, CMCSS has discovered students perform better in school with less screen time and more recess. Who knew? Also, breaking down campaign funds in the mayor's race, ending a Fort Campbell military family perk, and stuffing pizza into hamburgers.

A $3.5 million civil lawsuit has been filed in the Montgomery Central teacher nude selfies case, and that will compel the school system and the teacher to finally respond to the allegations leveled against them. Meanwhile, the timing isn't great on a proposal to bring decorum to School Board meetings. Also, what it means for local Democrats to gain control of the County Commission, how we'll get in and out of In-N-Out, and Ryan will finally get a grocery store of his own.

Now that we know Costco is planning to open in Clarksville, let's talk about what it took to get them here and what's in it for us. Also, city government is dealing with all the drama, from an Ajax Turner Senior Center lawsuit to capital project cuts and a fight over sales tax going to schools. When can it get boring again?

Here's what we know about the K-9 involved arrest, the warrants that led to it, and then the death of Darius Chappell in Montgomery County Jail.

Also, how a pair of Fort Campbell soldiers took down a drunk man with a gun, Wilma's going to get busy before it gets better, a new restaurant at Exit 8, and Ryan's hot take on what's wrong with J.J. Abrams' "Star Trek."

Families of kids hurt in the school bus crash are lashing out at the School Board.

Also, the City Council can't land on a budget they like, we lay odds on what major retailer is coming to Tiny Town Road, the Traveling Wilburys bail out Clarksville veterans, and Ryan is totally done with Elmo. 

The great mysteries of our age: 1. Clarksville Fire Rescue responds to fires outside the city limits, but county taxes don't support CFR. 2. The city wants to pay more to take over the Ajax Turner Senior Center, despite that the city has a revenue crisis. 3. The state has a law that small contractors have to be licensed, but Montgomery County hasn't opted in. Can someone make it all make sense?
