Going, Going, Sort of Gone
Dec 22 2022


   As Neil Young use to sing, "There comes a time".
   That time is here.
   After right at 28 years of trying to improve County Clay with first hand straight forward information and with 69 years under his belt and arthritis slowing down those writing and typing fingers, the Ace Cub Reporter is heading into semi retirement.
   Not not shutting down completely but making a big change. Change is nothing new for the lad.
  Back in 2008 and after some heart attacks, four bypasses and three stints in 2009, he cut back on the meeting coverage.
  2+ years ago, due to COVID, the wittle tubby guy cut back even more. He had no choice with that decision
  Now there's another change coming starting right now. To make things easier on him, Clayberry coverage will switch gears to the stuff he really likes to cover, courtroom dealings, Magistrate Reports, Blotter charges, and a new direction, in depth pictures of this place and its people.
  Over the years, it's the people of Clayberry that kept this newspaper of choice alive and thriving. During those many boycotts, the nails in the parking lot, the physical attacks, it was you the readers and clickers that kept hope alive and coming your way.
  Don't get all excited about losing your only source for real news from County Clay, it's changing but there comes a time and it's here now
  Thanks for 28 years and here's to a few more just a wittle different
