• Above & Beyond: Waverly man went into burning home to save two young brothers (knoxtntoday.com) — A Waverly man's split-second decision to enter a burning Clarksville home saved two young brothers and later earned him the prestigious Carnegie Medal for civilian heroism. The story highlights how Robert Fortner, a Waverly native and sheriff's K-9 handler, twice crawled through smoke-filled darkness to pull the boys to safety, underscoring courage rooted in your own community.
• Little Moments — Daryl Mosley (bluegrasstoday.com) — A new album from Waverly native Daryl Mosley puts your town on the musical map, with every track penned by him and steeped in small-town memories. The bluegrass-leaning collection blends nostalgic storytelling, reflections on family and faith, and a few tougher themes like homelessness and addiction, all delivered in his warm, conversational style.
• Warren Michael Walker (dicksoncountysource.com) — Waverly is mourning the loss of 84-year-old Warren Michael Walker, a longtime resident remembered as a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. After decades working as a maintenance superintendent and serving in local Masonic and Shriner organizations, he leaves behind his wife Gerri of Waverly, several children including those still in town, and a large extended family cherishing his memory.
