The Saline Fiddlers Philharmonic are home from the summer tour and ready to entertain in downtown Saline at the Salty Summer Sounds concert Thursday night.
The free concert takes place at 7 p.m. in the parking lot that hosts the Saline Farmers Market.
Expect lots of fiddling, singing and dancing from one of the state's best known youth bands.
The fiddlers toured the Midwest this summer, playing in Northern Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa in late June and early July. They've been busy after a brief rest, playing at the Michigan Celtic Festival and twice at the Ann Arbor Art Fair.
Light freezing rain, with a high of 28 and low of 15 degrees. Don't forget your umbrella! Light freezing rain for the morning, cloudy for the afternoon and 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.
