Open Forum #9 -- 2/22/10

The Open Forum is your chance to say something, report breaking news or ask a question -- on any issue. Any topic is fair game, although Blue Hill Today's comment policies still apply. (see bottom of left hand column.) This will be Open Forum #9. The first eight have had 52 comments including topics on; Jason Kort's recovery, sexting, Joseph Stack, Shrine Bowl, SASA Charity Poker Tournament, a local jury trial, local participants in the Nebraska HS Honor Band, Choir & Orchestra, political fallout of the D.C. Blizzard, local weather, fundraisers, the BH Care Center, local county attorneys, the Census, the Mass. Senate vote, subpoena's, County Commisioner's pay increase, Bobcat basketball, citizen of the year, Haiti, good samaratins, child safety, tax deductions for pet owners, parking and personal property, academic achievement of local alum, local service man sends Christmas greetings, the health care debate, birth announcements, quotes from elected representatives, church services, the Mayor, trash disposal and much more. Go ahead and sound off on anything. We are listening. A new Open Forum link will be re-posted every Monday (or there abouts) to keep it towards the top of the recent posts. Of course, your completed news article, news information, story idea, or suggestions to improve this site can still be sent to Blue Hill Today by e-mailing us at bluehilltoday@hotmail.com.

Rural Blue Hill residents Don and Susie Sheltrown and family, along with the Stillwater Fellowship will host a soup supper in Nelson Sunday as a fundraiser for Haitian relief efforts. Don Sheltron is pastor of Stillwater Fellowship which meets in Nelson.

The fundraiser. which will be held in the Nelson City Auditorium from 4:30 to 7:30, is open to everyone. In addition to food Music and slide presentations are planned . Donations for the pie/baked goods auction are being accepted.

Prior to the Sheltrown’s marriage in 1985 both had spent time working and ministering to the poor in Haiti. Since that time the family has grown to include eight children. Don and Suzie have home schooled their children.

Suzie Sheltrown made several trips to Haiti both before and after her graduation from nursing school. It was in Haiti that Suzie and Don first met. The Shelltrowns would like to return to Haiti, taking groups for short-term mission medical and construction projects.

Friends of the Sheltron’s , Lisa and Bill Adams, operate Life Ministries of Augusta, GA which has sponsored medical relief to Haiti since the earth quake. Part of the funds raised will go to to that ministry as to Stillwater Haiti Mission Team.

For more information, contact the Sheltrowns at 402 756 2979 or shell@gtmc.net
