Time is running out to bid on an assortment of items including a couple of pieces of Saline Athletics history.
Bidding closes at 8:15 p.m., Friday in the Foundation for Saline Area Schools' silent auction available online.
Two orthodontics offers are drawing a lot of bidding thus far.
Sheri Weintraub of Cornerstone Real Estate donated an "Elevated Game Day at the Big House" that's up to $275. The package includes a pre-game party at Joe's Garage and four tickets to the Michigan UTEP game Sept. 26.
Big Georges has donated an Undercounter Double-Drawer Refrigerator/Freezer worth $3,100. The high bid right now is $500.
One item sure to catch the attention of some Saline grads or parents is the scoreboard from Crabtree Field. The top bid is $425. The scoreboard is 25x8 feet and wired for standard 120V single‑phase power.

You can also bid on the Lamberson Field baseball scoreboard. Bid here.
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.
Partly Cloudy , with a high of 45 and low of 31 degrees. Sunny in the morning, overcast during the afternoon, partly cloudy during the evening, clear overnight.
