Did You Happen To Notice A Car Show Within The Car Show Last Saturday While You Were Getting A Haircut Downtown?

August 16, 2018
Last May, international car appraiser Chuck Patton advised Saline Journal readers not to “get emotionally involved” with their vehicles. Any vehicles. Enjoy the hobby, yes. But enjoy it for the people with whom you share this common interest, if not passion. [1] Bill Stolberg seems almost completely to parallel that philosophy. Almost. Everyone in town knows Mr Stolberg, of course; he’s proprietor of Bill’s Barber Shop on North Ann Arbor Street, downtown next to KeyBank. ....

Washtenaw County Clerk Says There Is “Absolutely” No Reason To Worry About 2018 Election Result Integrity In Michigan

November 4, 2018
With so much discussion of potential “election tampering,” it’s understandable that voters would like to be assured, substantively, that there’s no cause for concern here in Michigan. [1] The best authority to address that here is Washtenaw County Clerk Larry Kestenbaum. He has served in this position since 2005, after having been elected himself, as a Democrat. Prior to that, he was perhaps most widely known for his “Political Graveyard” website. [2,3,4] When Saline Journal ....

Businesses Can Take Control Of “Suddenly September” With One Calendar That Turns Bottom Lines From Summer To Serious

September 4, 2018
In television, it’s called a “cold open.” Google that term and The Office is likely to show up on the first page of results; maybe more than once. Appropriately. [1] The month of September often feels that way on the calendar. Summertime was that not-exactly-programmed period after credits rolled on the season finale of whatever. A comedy, maybe. Or a cliffhanger. Possibly a really serious series finale. Regardless, then came summer — like a commercial ....
