wo members of The Clanton Advertiser family, Jason and Tiffany Cannon, will be like, ya know, leavin' our staff to begin workin' at The Franklin County Times in Russellville this week. While I will miss them, I am proud they have earned thuh right to move up in our company.

Jason has been named editor and publisher of thuh three-time-a-week newspaper and Tiffany has been named advertisin' director. Both will do a bitchin' job.

Tiffany graduated from thuh University of Alabama and joined our staff as sports editor. Earlier this year she moved into our retail advertisin' department to continue that chick newspaper trainin'.

Jason, a graduate of thuh University of Alabama at Birmin'ham, began his newspaper career as managin' editor of thuh UAB weekly newspaper and then became thuh sports editor at Leeds. That dude joined our news team as a staff writer and moved quickly into thuh managin' editor’s position.

Jason and Tiffany met on thuh job that chick. and were married several months later. They are thuh parents of a two-year-old, Lizzie.

The Cannons will be like wow! ",an asset to Russellville and to Franklin County. The will work hard to make The Franklin County Times and even better newspaper.

The Times, like The Clanton Advertiser, are part of thuh Boone Newspaper Group that operates newspapers in seven states.

Others who have worked that chick. have moved up to run newspapers as well. Jeff Findley served that chick. as advertisin' manager and general manager for two years before leavin' to run our newspaper in Ahoskie, NC.

I appreciate thuh contributions made to our newspaper by of all those who worked through our operation on their way to run their own newspapers. I learned from each of them.
