Beginning on March 12, 2016
Alderson Police Department began
notifying property owners within the
municipality of various property
violations that do not comply with
the town's ordinances. Over the next
month, our officers will be woi~king
with property owners and tenants
to remedy the violations. This is a
town wide notification There is no
one person or property being singled
out. The goal is "Cleaning Up, Not
Citations or Fines." We are in the
process of having a couple of bins
placed at the recycling site in town
for tires, appliances, and metals.
This will be a free service for our
property owners and hopefully help
give them an option for disposal of
items they may not have been able
to get rid of. Overgrowths of brush
i and yard waste can be burnt in town
following the rules of the WV
Division of forestry during burn
season. Those rules can be found at
www.wvforestry.com/firelaws
As part of this enforcement of
ordinances, we are reviewing
customers in our billing system who
may own properties that have been
vacated and have not been paying
the municipal service fee on the
property. This fee is not waived if the
structure on the property is not lived
in or is vacated. Properties that are
in violation of the municipal service
fees may have had liens filed
previously on the property. Owners
who have misplaced, overlooked, or
not paid the service fee billings will
be receiving those bills with the back
due balance as well. If no payment
is received, we will be filing the liens
in the appropriate county to remedy
these issues.
If you are part of a group that
would like to assist property owners
in need of remedying property issues
please contact City Hall at 304-445-
2916 and asked to be put on our list
available for those asking for
assistance.

The Parable of:
Many are called but few are
chosen!
One day as an Evangelist was
walking down the streets of
southern California witnessing a
wise
guy stormed up to him and said.
"Why do some preachers give up on
God?" So the preacher
~ said. "Hear this story!"
Many laborers hired themselves
out to attend a field one day. When
the morning time came their alarms
went offlate so they rushed out into
the field without eating their
morning meal.
Around the ten o'clock hour many
, began to complain of hunger pangs
and left the field heading for the city
to buy food.
In the early afternoon as the Sun
stretched folth some other servants
began to plot in hope to dodge the
midday heat and went to the master
and said. "Sir, were dying of thirst,
may we be released for the day to go
find water?" And the Master replied.
"Go!" When five O'clock
approached more workers went to
the Master and said. "Lord it's
getting late, our children are home
from school and our wives have set
dinner at the table, may we be
excused?" Then the Master replied.
"Go and handle your affairs!"
When the end time came the Lord
of the Harvest called for the servants
that were left in the field and Said.
"You who have endured the
hardships of the day accept here
before my Holy Throne.your reward!
Three times as much as we agreed
and go out quickly and gather your
i'amilies for I have prepared a great
feast for you the over comers!" For
many are called but few are chosen!
Scripture Reference Matthew 22:14.
The moral to the story - God never
said that it was going to be easy and :
no one ever said that life is fair. A
lot of people will'quit in life before
they get to the finish line and receive
the prize!
By: Charles Dennis Ward.
The Stow of: God's grace is sufficient! :
There was a certain girl, a
teenager, who had a narrow view on
life. At the age of fifteen, while under
her parents ~are they begin to argue
at night. Being struck with the
sudden wave of emotional trauma
filled her heart with hurt and
despair.
So in the second watch of one
night around 12 o'clock hour, she
packed all together, left her parents
a farewell note, and joined herself
to the street life where she sought
attention within the hard life of
harlotry.
As she then began to trade her
time and presence with desperate
men for money as a way to survive
caused guilt and stress to set-in.
Many years into this act she
began to feel remorseful for
squandering away many of her
productive years then surrendered
her life to God, began to evangelize
him why he should receive eternal
life? He began to cry and carry-on
about all of his good deeds, but the
Lord wasn't pleased. So lastly he
said. "The Blood of the Lamb! who
washes away the sins of the World!"
So God replied. "Enter in my Child!"
and the crowd said.
"Hallelujah Amen!" The last~
person up was a street hustler who
could speak any language when it
came to sales. But when the Good
Lord pulled his resume out it was
blank, so there was silence for
awhile.
At the end of the break all that
looked on the situation held their
breath. Suddenly Jesus began to.

Then many in the crowd breathed
