Students from Clay ART!, a class offered by Saline Community Education, added a temporary outdoor installation of handmade ceramic garden art at the Saline District Library.
The display of bird and flower garden stakes can be viewed in the Peace Pole Garden located in front of the building near the Youth department window.
To create their pieces, the students learned the clay hand-building method of slab construction and then embellished their projects with texture tools and glaze. The students hope their art pieces enhance the viewer’s experience of the garden with surprise and delight.

Patchy rain nearby, with a high of 66 and low of 30 degrees. Light freezing rain during the morning, partly cloudy in the afternoon, overcast in 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.
