JILL DRAHEIM-DUCEY is a mixed media artist who has been creating “Snowladies” for over 10 years. Her goals are to make every piece unique and put a smile on the face of each person viewing her work. As a matter of fact, she smiles a lot while creating them! She likes to think her “ladies” have grown and evolved as the years have passed. Using nature and art as her inspiration, Jill blends stone clay, antique bottles, found objects, beads, and bits of nature together to create her winter pieces. Jill has an undergraduate degree in Art Education and a Master's Degree in Counseling. She has been in art shows for many years and has been in the Saline show since 2015. Jill’s experiences have taught her the power that creating art has in healing the heart and rejuvenating the soul. See these characters in Booth 141 Saturday.

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.
