Clarksville, TN – A veteran triathlete who is now a licensed massage therapist will lead a new massage therapy practice dedicated to sports massage treatment, therapeutic, Swedish and deep tissue massage.

Restore Performance Massage, also called RPM Massage, is located inside the Clarksville Chiropractic Center building on Madison Street next to Chick-Fil-A. The new business opened Monday, May 7th.

Russ Shemberger, whose athletic background is in the sport of swimming and triathlon, is the practice’s newly licensed massage therapist.

Russ Shemberger, a licensed massage therapist with Restore Performance Massage.

“My intention is to help heal people,” said Shemberger, who also uses massage therapy to help maintain his competitive performance in triathlons. “That’s the basic premise of our name, Restore Performance.”

Shemberger became interested in massage therapy as a career after receiving one a couple of years ago. Reading articles in running and triathlon magazines continued to pique his interest in the field.

“I felt like my body had improved,” he said, recalling his first massage therapy treatment. “I also read articles on the after-effects of massage and how tissue is healed. I knew what those words were saying, that massage helps to speed up recovery. I am a firm believer in that, as both a client and a massage therapist.

Shemberger, who has worked as a paramedic in Kentucky and Tennessee, is a 2012 graduate of Miller-Motte Technical College’s massage therapy program. He graduated in April with a perfect 4.0 grade-point average and became certified as a LMT in Tennessee. A certified swim coach, he competes in several foot races and triathlons yearly throughout the country.

RPM Massage offers sports massage therapy, deep tissue, therapeutic and Swedish massage. Chair massages also can be given.

RPM Massage is open from 8:00am-4:00pm, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday and from 10:00am-6:00pm, Wednesday. To make an appointment, call 931.647.3692.

RPM Massage also can be found on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/rpmmassage.

Participants will divide into two armies (the Brits and the Scots) and take to the battlefield at 11:00am for gladiator games and then again at noon. The winning army earns a trophy.

The battle is expected to have more than 800 water balloons, 1,000 pounds of mud, splash artillery, flour bombs and stench cannons. It’s a way for teens to have good, clean fun while getting dirty.

All spectators are welcome and admission is free. Non-military ID card holders must go to the visitors’ center at Gate Four off 41-A/Fort Campbell Boulevard to get temporary passes. All vehicles must have registration and proof of insurance to enter post, and are subject to inspection.

Fort Campbell’s Military Community Youth Ministries “Club Beyond” is a chapel sponsored organization dedicated to providing support to teens, ages 13-18, of military Families. The fourth annual Muck Wars is a high energy event that provides positive activities for teenage military dependents.

For more information on the event or partnering with Club Beyond, contact the advisors at 615.738.0822/0823 or

Clarksville, TN – The Austin Peay Center at Fort Campbell will offer courses for the Master of Arts in Teaching (M.A.T.) degree for the Fall I term.

The M.A.T. provides opportunities for those who hold baccalaureate degrees to complete initial teacher licensure requirements and a master’s degree concurrently. The Fort Campbell Center program is available to individuals who wish to teach at the secondary level. Programs in elementary and special education are available at the downtown campus.

The program is offered in a cohort format. The program consists of 10 courses with two courses offered each term for five terms. Coursework is provided in face-to-face and online formats. Field experiences in public schools are required as part of the required coursework. At the end of the program, participants must either complete student teaching or teach on an alternative license and pass all required licensure exams to earn their teaching license.

More information is available by contacting Dr. Barbara Peterson at 931.221.7696 or Dr. William Cox at 931.221.1412.

“We are thrilled that the day is here when we can allow the public to use most of these incredible facilities. The boat ramps have seen significant use already as has the marina basin. Now, more of the park will be available for fishing, walking, picnicking and all kinds of outdoor fun,” said Clarksville Mayor Kim McMillan.

The Walking Trails along the Cumberland River are part at the new Liberty Park which opens on Friday

In addition to the boat ramps, the 10 acre fishing pond, 2 ½ miles of walking trail, the smaller pavilions, the playground area, the Bark Park, and the picnic areas will all be open for use. The Wilma Rudolph Pavilion, the pavilion at Freedom Point and the sports fields will not be open until later in the summer. These areas, as well as the slips and dock at the marina, are still under construction.

“We are asking the public to respect the boundaries for the work that is continuing. It’s important for safety purposes but we also want to make sure that the workers on the site can continue to make progress to complete the facilities,” said the Mayor. “I also want to remind everyone that the marina and docks are open 24 hours a day but the other sections of the park, including the fishing pond and Bark Park, will be open until dusk.”
