2018 LPGA Volvik Championship "Long Putt Challenge"

Family-Owned Jeweler Helped Keep “CS Mott Children’s Hospital” Name Top-of-Mind at LPGA Volvik Championship

May 30, 2018

For most Saline Journal readers one of the rudimentary associations with “LPGA Volvik Championship” is that “Ann Arbor equals golf.” As messaging goes, that’s appreciably good for any business connected to the game, those providing the various engines necessary to put it together and run it smoothly, and all sorts of lodging and hospitality offerings that make it an enjoyable event for people. It’s also a package to which any number of other brands may ....

Former local Congresswoman offered practical overview of Presidential impeachment during “Free College Day”

September 30, 2019

Congressional efforts to launch impeachment procedings against Donald Trump started well before he entered office as the 45th President of the United States. The 116th Congress convened earlier this year with key Democrats, including Michigan Representative Rashida Tlaib, promising to make this Constitutional step a priority. [1-7] Last Tuesday, Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced “that the House would initiate a formal impeachment inquiry against President Trump ….” [8,9] As if having accessed a crystal ball for ....

A great deal, as it turns out. Prior to opening to all museum visitors as part of general admission, members get their own exclusive preview of “Star Trek: Exploring New Worlds” today. And ....

Gretchen Whitmer sworn-in today as governor, ostensibly signalling close to 2018 election cycle and move to governance

January 1, 2019

Happy New Year from Lansing Michigan. Arguably conspicuous by absence in our look back at 2018 was any given connection to government or politics — let alone a dedicated section for the subject. [1] Mitigating against that is the position that there is little of substance that Saline Journal could cover without influence from one or both. Calling that out yesterday would have seemed redundant. The real questions are fall on a spectrum of involvement, ....

Arrival of COVID-19 in Michigan made for a different sort of “Coffee Hour” with Brian Marl and Donna Lasinski

March 13, 2020

Initial impressions of scheduled “Coffee Hour” held this morning in City Council Chambers would have found this hardly different from any other here. [1,2] Hosted by our Saline Mayor Brian Marl, accompanied by District 52 Michigan House Representative Lasinski, a lone podium was set in its usual spot — facing the dais. Table nearby with stacks of various, neatly stapled handouts. Familiar chairs for the audience, neatly lined chair-to-chair in rows. Typical. [3,4] And yet ....
