Saline Youth Council has named Saline High School senior, Sophia Bauman, as the 2023 Youth of the Year.
Each year, the Saline Youth Council accepts nominations and chooses a Saline Area School District resident in grades 7 - 12 who has made a positive impact in the community to reward as the Youth of the Year.
Sophia Bauman has volunteered nearly 100 hours in the Saline community and has partnered with the Saline Chamber of Commerce, working on a number of events such as ribbon cuttings, selling raffle tickets and conducting media interviews. She has also volunteered at the Chad Tough Run which raises funds for pediatric bran cancer.
Sophia is an attentive and highly motivated student student at Saline High School where she is a top scholar. She manages as Editor-in-Chief for the Saline Yearbook, is a member of the Saline Honor Society and is an active member in Students Against Destructive Decisions. On top of all her school, extracurricular and volunteer work, Sophia also works on the weekends as a waitress.
Last summer, Bauman won the Miss Saline Pageant.
Miss Saline co-directors Molly Luempert-Coy and Kim Bryant said Bauman "is an overachiever, has a true passion for helping others and a pro-community spirit.”
Bauman and other community members will be honored at the Saline Salutes program sponsored by the Saline Chamber of Commerce on April 26 at Lake Forrest Golf Club.

While I have some empathy for the family I would bet the proverbial farm that their ancestors would not like it to be rezoned. Disappearing farm land is a national problem not just local.
Agreed. It’s their land and can do as they wish but it’s just a bummer
Moderate rain, with a high of 83 and low of 49 degrees. Don't forget your umbrella! Mist during the morning, sunny in the afternoon, overcast for the evening, mist overnight.
You all have absolutely lost your collective minds! Fiscal insanity.
Love the idea and could absolutely see this treasure becoming a multi-use facility for the city. Not sure how I would approach it were I the owner but I believe the current owners inherited the house (could be wrong) after being in the family for many years.
Curious as to current status of the second smaller home built in the same style. Is that currently owned by the same family and part of this discussion?
Ha! Such a lovely face I’m making! 😆
