ST. CLAIRSVILLE — David Trouten, clerk of courts for Belmont County, released the report of his office’s activities for May.

Trouten also wanted to take the opportunity to thank this year’s summer intern.

“We were fortunate to have the opportunity to continue our tradition of having a summer intern,” Trouten said. “This year we have the pleasure of working with Sadie Lendon of Bethesda. She has been able to assist in various projects in the clerk of court’s office at the courthouse, as well as assisting with the usual workload. She picked up very quickly and has been a tremendous help to the office.”

“An internship is a win-win situation,” Trouten added, “We get an eager young worker to help when the work picks up in the summer and fill in when regular workers take summer vacations. In return, the student gains valuable hands-on, real world experience that furthers her education.”

Lendon is a student at Waynesburg University studying biology with a biblical ministries minor and is a graduate of East Richland Christian School.
