Lindi Jenkins, Ava Crossly and Ana Sirbu earned all-state honors as Saline took 17th at the MHSAA Division 1 Championships at the Holland Aquatic Center this weekend.
The Hornets fared best in the one-meter diving event. Senior Lindi Jenkins, the SEC Red champ, took second place with a score of 394.75. Junior Ava Crossley, the regional champ, was third with a score of 388.75.
In the pool, Ana Sirbu, also an SEC Red Champ, finished fifth in 207.46. Sirbu, a junior, shaved more than two seconds off Friday's preliminary time.
Senior Macy Ahrens was the only other Hornet to swim Saturday. She took 16th in breaststroke in 1:08.78.
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.
