“Christmas with The Chosen” more than just another holiday movie or invitation to renew in-theatre experience; much more.

December 2, 2021 Dell Deaton

Like icthus images in its opening credits, The Chosen seemed destined to swim against prevailing currents. [1-3] It’s certainly not without precedent to see television series beget theatrical movie releases. And only time will tell if, as ….

“Jeghetto’s Workshop” string-puppet performances at DIA were precision mechanics, energy, and amazement

February 23, 2020
Imagine a circus. [1,2] At first, the juggler. Maybe animals, performing – some in confined spaces, others given free reign of literally any area to which a beast might feel attracted on a whim. This one honestly described as “cute,” the next in its way ferocious, striking fear in even the most brave of onlooker hearts. And of course, the flying trapeze acts.

These are among a broader category of “soft targets.” [4,5] In leading this presentation titled ....

It’s hard to imagine that employees and elected officials on their own side of the microphones don’t often share that sentiment. Maybe even more so. What issues will cities like Saline be facing one, five, and ten years from now? What options will they have to answer challenges and leverage opportunties? ....

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 ....
