The “New” Lodi Township Hall Formally Celebrated Its Opening Twenty Years Ago Today

July 27, 2006 Dell Deaton

For some it’s hard to believe there was ever any other Lodi Township Hall, in any other place. Easily visible from Saline-Ann Arbor (though sometimes requiring a bit more effort, depending on crop growth), the ….

Consider These Answers for Any of Your Christmas Mis-Givings

December 26, 2017
Getting the “wrong” presents for holiday occasions is a real issue. It has become so common that “gift receipts” may rival greeting cards as package enclosures. [1] Thinking of making a return? Research shows that today is the third worst day of the year to be out shopping (first is Black Friday, followed by Super Saturday). [2] Thankfully, Saline has alternatives. Donate those gifts to the underprivileged instead. Here on East Michigan Avenue alone, you ....

If You Want To Understand The 1870 Saline Railroad Depot Operation, You Need To Understand Its Timekeepers

August 21, 2018
The railroad industry in the United States pre-dates the opening of our own Depot by some four decades. [1,2] One history describes the advent of “dozens of local railroad networks” — each covering no more than a few miles — having been put in place by 1835. But that was the point at which growth began to happen at an exponential pace, to a total of 9,000 miles of track lain by 1850. Utilizing the ....

December 11, 2018
With little fanfare, John Tripolsky officially became new Executive Director of the Saline Area Chamber of Commerce yesterday. [1,2,3] Picking up where things left off with our debrief of his immediate predecessor, John Olson, we sat down with Mr Triposky for about ninety minutes this morning at our offices on East Michigan Avenue to discuss what he has inherited — and where he’d like to see things head. [4] He began by characterizing this Chamber ....

Twenty years after fire team responses on September 11, 2001, legacy of “911” and “fundamentals” must be remembered as well

September 11, 2021
Prior to twenty years plus one day ago, reference to “911” evoked a very different sort of imagery. Popular Mechanics once suggested the opening credits of late-1980s television series Rescue 9-1-1 for reference. [1,2] On September 10, 2001, 911 was a “modern emergency apparatus” that began to take hold throughout the United States in the 1970s — thanks to the foresight and infusion of financial backing from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. For people who were here, those ....

Twelfth Annual “1600 Toys For 1600 Girls And Boys” Donation Drive Is Underway And Needs Your Support

November 7, 2018
Don’t let the name fool you. When local radio station WAAM first partnered with The Salvation Army to launch this opportunity for holiday giving, setting a goal of collecting 1600 toys for holiday distribution was cleverly memorable. Their programs can be heard at 1600 on the AM band. [1.2] But the need is far greater than that. And it recognizes that need, especially at this time of year, is more that just provisioning for food ....
