Learn about Al (alligator) our first rescue and one of the inspirations for The Creature Conservancy. Weather permitting, watch Al have an evening snack. In case of inclement weather, a smaller alligator will join us in the classroom. Later, paint your own picture of Al with the guidance of local artist, Mary Lewison. All materials and instructions are included. Bring your own drinks and snacks! (Ages 21+) (Preregistration is required)

I have to commend the Saline City manager and engineer for keeping their cool and for their professionalism during the three hour Mill Pond Dam town hall meeting.
I think what's insulting is that the city is bloating the numbers to bolster their case.
Logically, the dam has no practical use. Of course, it's going to cost more. Of course, there's a level of risk there. Of course, over some period of time, it's going to cost more to maintain than a stream.
Life cycle cost analysis is certainly appropriate when considering new assets, but it may not be as appropriate when evaluating existing assets.
Patchy rain nearby, with a high of 47 and low of 31 degrees. Sunny in the morning, overcast in the afternoon, clear overnight.
