Saline High School senior Regina "Reggie" Duerst is a finalist for the MHSAA Scholar-Athlete Award. Duerst, who plays for the Saline varsity basketball team., is one of 120 finalists for the award, presented by Farm Bureau Insurance.
The program, in its 32nd year, has recognized student-athletes since the 1989-90 school year and again this winter will honor 32 individuals from MHSAA member schools who participate in at least one sport in which the Association sponsors a postseason tournament. Farm Bureau Insurance underwrites the Scholar-Athlete Awards and will present a $1,000 scholarship to each recipient. Since the beginning of the program, 8,323 scholarships have been awarded.
Duerst was one of 24 students honored by the district in 2019 for their excellence in world language studies.
Duerst is also a National Merit Scholarship Semifinalist.
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.
Moderate rain, with a high of 42 and low of 30 degrees. Overcast during the morning, partly cloudy in the afternoon and evening, light freezing rain overnight.
