The Ninth Annual Shelby County Relay For Life was held Saturday night and Sunday morning at the Shelby County Fairgrounds. Pictured above is Sonia Schaeffer cutting the ribbon to kick off the event with the ceremonial first lap by the survivors.

The 2009 Shelby County Relay For Life was considered a success by everyone involved this past weekend at the Shelby County Fairgrounds.
   The event was packed full of talented entertainment which featured live music, a ventriloquist to skits by the teams involved in this year’s relay.
   Cancer survivor Sonia Schaeffer cut the ribbon to officially kick off the event at 6 p.m. on Saturday.
   With only four teams participating this year, there was concern about how much money could be raised. The four teams did an excellent job and kept totals in the neighborhood of recent years when there was nearly twice as many teams raising money.
   According to LuAnn Werr, so far $28,164.70 has been accounted for with some money still to be collected. This is an impressive total for just a four team relay.

The Shelbina City Council discussed its plans to do away with the golf board, talked briefly about utility rates and discussed projects that need to be completed in the near future during Tuesday night’s regular board meeting at the City Hall.
   Golf Board
   The Council discussed its intentions of doing away with the golf board. No action was taken on the issue during the meeting, but something formal could be done in the next regular meeting.
   The reason for the decision is because the council would like to have a better handle over the large amount of money that is being put into the golf course.
   The council plans to go a different direction by forming a committee for parks and recreation. It was stated that the golf board members are aware of the council’s decision.
