Chamberlain, favorite marionette of string-puppetmaker Meredith

A Brief Look Back On The Meredith Bixby Marionette Story, Part II: Saline Once Hosted Museum, Held Puppet Festivals

September 21, 2018

Bits and pieces of the once grand “Meredith Marionettes Touring Company” can still be found here and there about Saline. Overtly and covertly, tucked away in areas of the Saline Library and just outside City Council Chambers. [1,2] Locating these important artifacts can sometimes feel like a treasure hunt. Ask someone who’s committed the latest sites to memory, somehow in on the secret. Our version of Ann Arbor fairy doors. [3] Yesterday, Saline Journal reviewed ....

Individual Income Tax Return Form 1040 for 2016

There’s No Reason to be Surprised by Your Personal Income Taxes

September 25, 2017

For those who filed for an extension on their 2016 personal income taxes, the due date of October 16 is now less than a month away. It’s no coincidence that local radio has started this month to amp-up its advertising from tax preparation services.

And then there is the annual Saline Celtic Festival ....

Having that work published in our local newspaper, The Saline ....

Donald Trump Jr provided a different view in face of “fake news” narrative during ad hoc press appearance in Michigan

On March 21, The Telegraph took on the daunting task of defining exactly what constitutes “fake news” and how one might go about spotting it. [1] Merely a consequence of ubiquitous social media? Don’t count on it. Last May, Smithsonian Magazine laid out a history holding that it has “been a part of the conversation as far back as the birth of the free press.” Indeed, this is one of the fundamental precepts in journalism. ....
