BARB SAALFELD, East Lansing, MI
Booth 152 - Pressed Flowers
Starting in September, BARB SAALFELD always enjoys walking the woods and city streets looking for beautiful fall leaves to use in her work. The colors, textures, and foods from autumn are her inspiration. Nature, gardening, hiking, and the four seasons are the soul of her work. With a mother who was a professional artist and a father who built houses, hands-on activities came about naturally and resulted in her pressed flower creations. Fortunately, Barb’s summer gardens provide the flowers for her framed works and stationary notes. Come see her 2024 inventory that will be on display on March 16 as Barb returns to the Saline Spring Craft Show at Saline Middle School.
Partly Cloudy , with a high of 37 and low of 16 degrees. Sunny for the morning, light freezing rain in the afternoon, overcast for the evening, 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.
