Having started woodworking by making wooden toys, BRIAN ULINE in Booth 151 will bring to Saline his carved wood signs. Approximately 16 years ago he purchased a CNC router which opened up a completely new opportunity and led him and his family to their passion for creating unique carved signs. They enjoy selecting unique wood pieces at various Michigan mills and envision the “heart and soul” of each product. From designing the layout to carving and painting and then bringing the products to Saline, Brian enjoys every minute of his time with these “wood slabs.” His favorites are “No Place Like Home,” “Home Sweet Home” and “This Is Us.”
Patchy rain nearby, with a high of 49 and low of 30 degrees. Mist for the morning, partly cloudy for the afternoon, clear overnight.
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.
