Moved by the suffering he witnessed after the devastating Haiti earthquake of 2010, Author Mitch Albom adopted a failing orphanage in the city of Port-au-Prince. There he met Chika, a bold and curious five-year-old girl, who had developed a life-threatening brain tumor. The story of their journey and the many things they learned along the way is told in Albom’s new book Finding Chika. It is Mitch’s hope that audiences will be moved by Chika’s courage, enlightened by her journey, inspired by her humanity and empowered to help ease the suffering of children worldwide.
The event will take place on Monday, February 24th at 7pm at the Saline Middle School Auditorium. Tickets are available at https://www.chadtough.org/an-evening-with-mitch-albom/
Proceeds will benefit The ChadTough Foundation.
Moderate or heavy snow showers, with a high of 26 and low of 15 degrees. Overcast in the morning, light freezing rain in the afternoon, light snow for 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.
