The site of vehicles on blocks has been a familiar sight in the Elkview
and surrounding areas for few days now. The area has been hit hard with
the theft of tires/rims taken directly off of parked vehicles. Several businesses has had them stolen from their parking lots (Kmart, Ponderosa,
Jeff’s Auto, Service Plus, Bob Evans, Elkview China Rest., and many
more) have been hit hard along with individuals including vehicles
parked on Church parking lots. The area has banded together to watch
out for each other and one business owner has taken it upon himself to
find out who and where the thieves are and help the authorities to stop
this rampage of thefts. Residents are encouraged to keep an eye out for
these culprits and if you see anything out of the ordinary call the State
Police/Kanawha County Sherriff’s and report it immediately. Do not try
to stop them yourself they could be dangerous. This ring of thefts is valued into the thousands now and they are brazen to keep up the thefts after it has been made public. Keep an eye out and help bring these thieves
to Justice.
The Town of Clendenin received a Great Audit with only two minor
infractions that are already in the works of being corrected. The two
minor infractions are listed in the audit report posted on page 6. This
makes the second Audit since the new administration took office in 2013 that they have received a
great report. The two infractions were minor and
basically a technicality. Good job to the new administration for keeping our town honest and in
the black! See page 6

Hello Readers,
I hope everyone’s New Years has started out good. My New Years has started out way
better than it did last year. By this time last year I already had a broken leg and we all
were dealing with the water crisis. This year I got good news on my skin cancer, they
were able to get it all and it hadn’t spread into organs or lymph nodes yet! Danny has
spoiled me the last few weeks and I’m almost back to normal, if that is ever possible
with me…ha, ha, ha! We have been busy the last few weeks getting the shop ready for
a big truckload. We finally got it organized in time to get the 24 pallet truckload in and
now we are unorganized again! We got lot of great merchandise in and we will be trying to get as much out as possible in the next few auctions for our customers. Check
our ad out on page 12 to see some of the merchandise. In the next few weeks the Town
of Clendenin will in a buzz over who will be running for Mayor, Recorder, and Council. The group we have in now have worked together better than any group I’ve seen
for years. I’ve spoken to the Mayor, Recorder, and most of the Council and they all
agree it has been the smoothest running term they have ever had! Hopefully they all
will decide to run again and keep the town running smoothly and out of the red. Keep
warm and Until the next issue…Keep Smiling! Sug

Have you ever been guilty of looking at someone your own age and thinking, "Surely
I can't look that old?" I was sitting in the waiting room for my first appointment with a
new dentist. I noticed his DDS diploma, which showed his full name. Suddenly, I remembered a tall, handsome, dark-haired boy with the same name who had been in my
high school class some 30-odd years ago. Could this be the same guy that I had a secret crush on, way back then? Upon seeing him, however, I quickly discarded any
such thought. This balding, gray-haired man with the deeply lined face was way too
old to have been my classmate. After he examined my teeth, I asked him if he had attended Mighty Park High School. "Yes. Yes, I did. I'm a Mustang," he beamed with
pride. "When did you graduate?" I asked. He answered, "In 1969. Why do you ask?"
"You were in my class!" I exclaimed. He looked at me closely. Then, that ugly, old,
bald wrinkled, fat, gray, decrepit son-of-a-gun asked, "What did you
teach?"…I changed dentists!

Smart Lady
Phil, a smart and handsome young man, dressed in the latest fashion,
walked into this local pub. He noticed a woman gazing at him without
blinking her big eyes. Phil felt flattered so he walked up to the
woman and said in his deepest voice, 'I'll do anything you wish, beautiful lady, but on
one condition.' The woman appeared to be trapped in the moment and asked as if in a
trance, 'What's your condition?' Phil answered, 'Tell me your wish in just three
words.' There was a long pause, the woman handed him her address. She then looked
deeply into his eyes and whispered,
'(1) Clean (2) My (3) House.'

ANNUAL TOWN AUDIT COMPLETED
Mayor Gary L. Bledsoe
I hope that everyone is still
keeping up with his or her
New Year’s Resolution. I
know I am (Ha, Ha, Ha.) I
guess that we all are still waiting on all the snow that we
are predicted to get, maybe
we will get lucky this winter
and not have to worry about
slick roads and power outages. There are times we are not aware of the roads that are slick, so feel
free to call Town Hall and let us know. We try to get the hills salted first
then start on the level. We have been taking advantage of no snow and
getting some work done inside Town Hall and The Recreation Center that
has been in need of repair for several
years. The New Hours at The Clendenin
Yard Waste Site began on January 12th.
The sign with the new hours has been
up for two weeks. The Fairs and Festivals Committee has started to hold their
meetings to start planning Clendenin's
Independence Day Celebration. Please
call Mandi at (304)548-4192 and help
to plan a Celebration that Tops last
years. This is an Election Year in Clendenin and if you are not registered to
vote we have the forms at Town Hall. If
you have any questions or concerns
give us a call.
The annual Town Audit, conducted by Balestra, Harr & Scherer,
CPAs, has been completed with the following findings:
(1) Segregation of Duties — According to the audit, the Town
does not have enough employees to handle funds collected.
This is a finding that affects every Class IV town in West Virginia and is difficult to resolve with the limited budgets of
Class IV towns;
(2) Excess Expenditures — The Town received a Pass Through
grant from FEMA for the purpose of buying out flooded
homes no longer habitable. The money was received, deposited in the General Account, and paid out to the attorney representing FEMA after Council approval. We were cited because the Town did not submit a budget revision for the
amount of the Pass Through grant. To our knowledge, this
has not been a requirement in past years.
Regarding Segregation of Duties, we will train an additional employee
to assist with handling of deposits, which should ease this requirement. With the second finding, we will no longer allow Pass Through
grants to be passed on to the intended party until a budget revision
has been submitted to the WV State Auditor's Office and approval has
been granted.
All other audit investigations showed that our bank accounts were in
order and that we had no discrepancy of funds. All accounts balanced
out exactly when our records were compared to the auditor's review.
David E. Ross, Recorder

Mom Knows Best
Jessica never realized what the big fuss was about this evening. She had a big fight with
her parents about using her car that they had got her for her sixteenth birthday and it was
HER car so she should be able to go where she wanted and take whoever she wanted in it.
Jessica’s parents had thought differently and told her they were going to take her keys if she
didn’t abide by the rules. She had stormed out of the house with her car keys and jumped
into her car and drove off picking up her friend Kim on the way. She had been gone for a
few hours, but the nerve of her parents to have the whole town looking for her. Kim and
Jessica was laughing and Kim was showing her a text that a boy she liked had sent her
when she took her eyes off the road for a second. The next thing she knew they went over
an embankment and her new car rolled a couple times before coming to a halt about sixty
feet over the hill. Jessica must’ve been knocked out for a second or two, because when she
came around Kim was gone, she guessed looking for help. Jessica walked back through the
woods and sat upon the hill overlooking her house and watched as the police and now the
fire dept. was coming and going constantly. How crazy was this to actually call the fire
dept. in to look for her. Jessica decided to show them, let them worry about her for awhile.
She was so tired she decided to take a nap and let her parents stew for a little while longer
and teach them a lesson. Jessica woke startled to realize that it had already become dark.
She decided to sneak back to the house and see what was going on. When she got close
enough to hear everyone they were talking and she could tell they were upset, she knew she
was going to be in so much trouble for being going for so long and what if they had found
her car wrecked? Boy she was in trouble. She had an idea of sneaking into her room and
pretending to have been in her room for a time. She was so tired and when she went to her
room she climbed on her bed and fell asleep instantly. When she woke she heard her mom
and dad talking in the kitchen and remembered the fight earlier and figured she might as
well go into the kitchen and get her punishment that she knew was coming. She peaked
around the corner and she saw her parents sitting at the table and they looked horrible. She
knew she was going to be in so much trouble. They were discussing something in a low
voice that she couldn’t hear. Jessica decided to wait a bit longer before she approached
them. She went back to her room and about that time she heard the phone ring and then she
heard her parents leave almost immediately. Someone must have found her car and she
knew she was going to be in so much trouble. Jessica walked out back and her dog Sniffy
came around the corner and when Sniffy saw her he came up to her and sniffed her then
started whining until she acknowledge him and rubbed his ears. Jessica thought that at least
her dog wasn’t mad at her. When Jessica went back in the house she was so tired again she
decided to lie down a bit before her parents got back, because she knew she was going to
have to be alert when her parents got home to talk herself out of the trouble she was going
to be in when they got home. She fell asleep immediately and was dreaming that her parents were crying standing beside of her bed. She woke with a startle and no one was there.
She had slept for a long time and when she woke her parents still hadn’t returned. Where
could they be? She must be getting sick because all she could do is sleep all day. Her head
was hurting real bad and she wished her mom would come home to give her something to
make it quit hurting. She must have hit it when they wrecked. She remembered Kim and
started to call her when her head was hurting to bad and decided she wait a few minutes,
boy she needed her mom’s attention right now. She always knew how to make things better. Jessica went back in her room to lie again because her headache was getting so much
worse. She lied down on her bed and fell asleep immediately. She woke and her mom and
dad was standing over her crying and when they saw her open her eyes they started smiling
and hugging her. She looked around and she was in a hospital. She asked her mom what
had happened. She said she had a bad headache and lied down and she woke here in the
hospital. Her mom said, “Jessica you were in a bad car wreck and the ambulance bought
you straight to the hospital.” Jessica felt so confused, she had been home with her dog
Sniffy before she laid down. She remembered Kim and asked where Kim was and both her
parents looked at each other and her mom said, “Honey Kim didn’t make survive; she was
thrown from the car because she didn’t have her seatbelt on.” Jessica started crying and
kept saying over and over, “I’m sorry,” but it was too late Kim had died because of her and
there was nothing she could do because there was “do-over’s” in death. Jessica kept saying,
“Why didn’t I listen to you, mom, Why?” Jessica survive with only a bad concussion and
bruises, but her friend paid the ultimate price.

500 Valentine Cards Sent by Laywer
Mike walked into a post office just before Valentine's day, he
couldn't help noticing a middle-aged, balding man standing
in a corner sticking "Love" stamps on bright pink envelopes
with hearts all over them. Then the man got out a bottle of
Channel perfume from his pocket and started spraying scent
over the envelopes. By now Mike's curiosity had got the better of him,
and so I asked the man why he was sending all
those cards. The man replied, "I'm sending out 500
Valentine cards signed,
'Guess who?'" "But why?"
asked Mike. "I'm a divorce
lawyer," the man replied.
