Make Sure Your Dress Is Right Before Stepping Onto The Saline’s Summerfest Trolley For Tour Guide Duty This Year

August 2, 2018

What comes to mind when you think of Saline’s Summerfest? Or its car show? Or, in this case, its trolley? [1] Sometimes it’s nice to pull back the curtain and show a bit of the process that goes into the seeming effortlessness of delivering wonderful substance. Sometimes it’s the littlest things — things you might never notice, unless they weren’t there. Other times, they’re bigger. Last month, for example, we told one such story as ....

America also Honors Its Heroic “War Dogs” on Memorial Day for their Devoted Service and Ultimate Sacrifice

May 27, 2018

Imagine any of the things you might have expected to hear on a locally produced program called “Veterans Radio” on the Sunday before Memorial Day weekend. Would you have ever guessed an interview about dogs? [1,2] If so, it likely focused on emerging research into the benefit of canines helping military personnel with PTSD and issues related to the aftermath of serving in combat.

February 27, 2019

After the weather we’ve experienced since outset of the new year, Saline students must be forgiven trepidation at the prospect of anything scheduled on a Wednesday. Overnight snowfall accompanied by ice added to that accumulation. Saline Singularity team members Spencer Schneider and Cameron Tressler responded by heading out on the roads much earlier than expected in order to arrive at the WLBY studios on Victors Way in Ann Arbor by 7:45am. On January 30, they ....

State of Michigan drew national attention this week as diverse, unheard voices sought help with COVID-19 distress

April 16, 2020

Long before “official” noon opening time for “Operation Gridlock” protests in Lansing yesterday, a lot had already been written about it. A lot said, too — including by its target, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer. [1,2] The event was largely cast by media as reaction to an “extension” of her “Stay Home, Stay Safe” directive. In the words of our governor, it was simply to be the latest “inappropriate” political attack against her, personally. In this ....
