Vicki Maynard Sipple, age 71, of Dexter, Michigan, passed away on Sunday, May 12, 2024 at her home. Vicki was born September 7, 1952 to Betty (Floyd) Maynard and the late John Maynard. She is survived by her daughter, Sara Sipple (Steve Wichmann) and grandson, Isaac Wichmann, of Saline. She is also survived by mother Betty Maynard, and siblings Johnny Maynard and Mark Maynard.
Vicki retired from Dexter Community Schools in 2021 after 30 years of service. She was known to DCS staff for her kindness and patience, and was always willing to share a smile, story, or hug. She enjoyed puzzles, spending time with her family, spoiling her grandson, and shopping for her next pair of cute shoes. She was a fantastic baker and her pound cake and German chocolate cake were particularly delicious. Her loving smile will be missed dearly by her family and many friends.

Whitmer is simply wrong on this one. The data centers are neither a benefit nor desired by local residents. That should be all that needs to be said. Two people/entities will benefit - the landowner receiving the windfall payment and DTE. The rest of us will pay a very heavy and undesired price for their gains.
Not all residents are against it. Private land sold by the owners will of course benefit them, it is supposed to. An entire community trying to dictate who they can sell their property to, for aesthetic reasons of a “farming community,” is ridiculous.
Here's the thing, Libby. Most of these land grabs require rezoning that conflicts with the Master Plan developed by elected officials and reflective of the wishes of others who have invested in and live in the community.
Improve rates? Improve for who?
Please, someone explain how saline rates are so much higher than surrounding areas.
Because we have a dysfunctional city Government! That’s why.
Just one of the MANY family events the Recreation Center provides! When he is not hosting as Santa, this wonderful gentleman is also a fabulous adult water aerobics instructor and teaches swim lessons to the kiddos.
Wow! Just got an email saying my post pointing out that the Santa event is one of many family activities at the Rec Center and that the gentleman who hosts as Santa also teaches water aerobics and kid swim classes is flagged as offensive. Guess compliments and enthusiasm are not welcome at the Saline Post?
