Elk River Boxing Club owner Rob Fletcher and his staff introduced current and potential members and guests to the club’s new location in Elkview on Thursday.
Previously located in downtown Clendenin, the Elk River Boxing Club is now open at 5522 Elk River North in Elkview, behind the former worksite of Wally’s Rope.
“We wanted some place that was a little more convenient for our members,” Fletcher said of the move from the Clendenin locale it has occupied for the past two years. “We’ll be seven miles south of the last location. We have members coming from Elkview, Big Chimney, Charleston, Hurricane and St. Albans — that seven miles means a lot. Some people had to drive for 45 minutes or an hour to get to the old location.
“It’s a nice facility,” he said, “and a little more centered to our members’ location.”
The new Elkview gym and fitness center “has more use-able space. The last building was bigger, but I couldn’t use the facility the way I wanted to. It was in a 120-year-old building and I had some problems with that,” Fletcher explained.
The new location will still provide the classes and training the Clendenin one did, he said. These include children’s boxing classes for ages 5 to 8 and regular boxing, kickboxing, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and mixed martial arts classes.
Fletcher said his gym has a core membership of about a dozen people, who come from Kanawha, Putnam, Roane and Clay counties to hone their fighting and self-defense skills, as exercise for some and competitive training for others.
“We have all ages — from 10 up to their 60s — taking classes. We have a retired Marine from Clendenin who comes for physical fitness. He can do more pushups than any teenager you’ve ever seen,” Fletcher said.
Thursday’s grand opening celebration offered demonstrations of some of the disciplines members undertake, along with refreshments for newcomers and longtime members. Sign-up opportunities were available during the evening, as well.
For more information about the Elk River Boxing Club, contact Rob Fletcher at 681-313-6001.

Charleston W.Va. — If you’ve never been able to experience this before, your chance–a really good chance–is coming up soon thanks to our West Virginia Division of Natural Resources.
Starting this Friday, and going through May 19th, 27 different streams and lakes across our state parks will be stocked with a nice variety of trout–and you’ll be able to know when and where ahead of time!
(Stephen McDaniel, Director West Virginia Division of Natural Resources) “These are different because the dates and locations are being published in advance. we’ve never done that here at the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources, and we’re hoping that will entice some of the beginner anglers to come out and give trout fishing a try”.
And trust me, it’s easy to get ‘hooked’. These Friday and Saturday stockings will also help those that are too busy during the week–to possibly bring their families out to make a weekend out of it. The hope is also to get even more people out to our beautiful state parks.
(Stephen McDaniel, Director West Virginia Division of Natural Resources) “We’re trying to promote tourism with these, and we have several lakes and streams that are located in the general area of state parks, so we thought that would be a good place to start, because it’s on the weekends. We’re hoping that people will come out and maybe rent a camping site, or a cabin, or a lodge–and make it a family deal”.
These stockings won’t impact other stockings across the state, either. all waters will receive the same amount of trout that they typically do.
(Stephen McDaniel, Director West Virginia Division of Natural Resources) “I have received dozens of emails, text messages since we announced this at our last commission meeting. Everyone is so pleased and so happy that, you know, it all comes back down to working men and women, students and kids–it’s just something we’re trying to do for them”.
For a complete list of these upcoming weekend stockings, you can find them over at the WVDNR website–www.wvdnr.gov
(Stephen McDaniel, Director West Virginia Division of Natural Resources) “I think this gives us an opportunity to draw some of those people to our state parks to maybe try trout fishing. If they catch a couple fish, they’re more likely to come back and try again the next time we do the stockings”.

FAYETTEVILLE — Dozens of teachers, service personnel and community volunteers stood together Tuesday as they packed school buses full of food to be delivered to communities throughout Fayette County on the fourth day of a statewide walkout within the school system.
“The moment we heard about a teacher strike, we quickly realized it was important to gather food for the kids,” Cindy Chamberlin said, “and from that thought, things quickly began to snowball from there.”
