LORNA BRICCO, Sault Ste. Marie, MI
Bricco’s Designs - Watercolor
For LORNA BRICCO in Booth 141, painting is her creative release. Having retired from the State of Michigan after 26 years, she continues to paint watercolors because “it makes me happy, and my buyers are happy.” Lorna continues, “I paint them and listen to their ideas. I am in my element talking to everyone when I paint.” Both cards and original watercolors are priced to be affordable. She always has new designs, and her customers love the “original artwork” available at reasonable prices, plus they can add to their collections. Lorna relates, “Both of my parents were artistic, creative, and special people,” and it will be obvious to Saline customers that she continues that tradition. Having painted for over 30 years, Lorna is a new addition to the Saline Craft Show on November 11, 2023, from 8 am-3:30 pm at Saline Middle School. Visit this booth to share in that “happiness.”
Moderate rain, with a high of 50 and low of 20 degrees. Overcast for the morning, light freezing rain in the afternoon, patchy rain nearby 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.
