Remi, a Blue Heeler mix cattle dog, was the winner of this year’s Judge’s Choice award at the Saline Community Fair’s Dog of the Year competition.
Thirteen dogs entered the contest, with the top five dogs chosen to enter the competition. Dogs were judged on temperament and obedience. All top five dogs won prizes which included gift cards donated by sponsor Tractor Supply and gift bags from sponsor Ruby Blu.
#1: Remi is a Blue Heeler rescue dog. She loves to play baseball and play with other dogs.
“She’s a good girl,” said owner Shelby Compton. “She’s a rescue and she’s come a long way. This is a way of marking how far we’ve really come.”
#2: Toni is a four year old golden retriever. Toni loves to walk downtown, visit the Farmer’s Market, and stop by Carrigan Café. “She sits downtown and says hello to everyone who walks by. She’s just a love multiplier,” said her owner Steve Alvi.
#3: Riff is a four year old Doberman with thirteen American Kennel Club titles. His owner, Kim, said that Riff loves spaghetti and camping. Riff also won the People’s Choice award.
“I think it’s awesome,” said Paige, Kim’s daughter. “ I think it’s really cool to be able to show dogs in the community and to come to the fair and be a part of this, too.”
#4: Emma is a four year old golden retriever. Emma is a certified service dog. She loves taking walks with her family and helping around the house, according to her owner, Aurora Fontichiaro.
#5: Bailey is a one year old Maltipoo owned by Sue and Dave MacMillan. She loves morning walks and trips to Dairy Queen.
Dave MacMillan recently had hip replacement, and Bailey has been instrumental in helping him get outside for walks as part of his recovery.
“They force you to get out and get involved, and she’s really been good with that,” Sue MacMillan said.

Thank you to those Council members who support the citizens and the Rec Center.
Please note, the rec center now requires 1/3 to almost 1/2 of its operations be funded by the City of Saline taxpayers. Approximately 10% of our City population uses the facility, while 2/3 of the members are non-resident. It’s time the non City residents of the Saline community pays its fair share.
What happened with the funding for the needed repairs at the Recreation Center? With all of the programs and community services provided at the Recreation Center, the nearby communities spending tens of millions of dollars to build new Recreation Centers, and the number of members/high usage for the Center and part
The mayor and city council love to spend taxpayer dollars frivolously. More and more $$$ into the rec center, that needs to stop. We still don’t have drinkable water and yet the city keeps raising rates. Can’t speak for everyone but I would much rather have clean water than a “lazy river!”
Sorry, Toby Crotty. Do not align to your assessment or thoughts. While nearby communities are spending tens of millions of dollars to build Recreation Centers (because of their value to citizens and communities), Saline is in the fortunate position of already having a very good facility in place which now needs to
You avoided my main point. The rec center is a nice amenity for those that use it. However, it is not a necessity. Clean safe water that we pay exorbitant rates for IS a necessity for EVERYONE!
The unprofessional behavior while in the supposed role of being a journalist when talking to that protester is ridiculous. The incorrect information and “facts” you spewed during the conversation are just par for the course. Thanks for showing up!
I agree with your comments about this journalist. I use the word journalist loosely here, as a journalist should be bringing forth the views of the people they are interviewing, not bringing their obvious bias into every forced conversation.
I understand the right 4 peaceful protests, why expose children to hate and show disrespect to our flag, what is that teaching the children. As a Korean Veteran I oppose anyone disrespecting our countries FLAG, shame on the protesters,
