Three residents tofight war on terror
Advertisement
The Milan area has three soldiers who will be going off to fight the war on terrorism during 2008.
Ian Diaz leaves behind a wife and young child and Andrew Cumming leaves behind 1-year-old child. Both are graduates of Milan High School, members of the Milan American Legion Post 262 and members of the Washtenaw County 40 & 8 Voiture 957.
We also have Santos Feleciano, who leaves behind a wife and two children.
I ask that we keep these soldiers in our prayers until they come home from their assigned missions.
I also ask that we pray for the families of these brave solders. The families are just as important to pray for as the soldiers.
We must all remember that the price of freedom is not free.

Graden would make
great superintendent
We were gratified to read the Brian Cox article of Jan. 17 ("Board sets characteristics desired in superintendent") regarding the desired characteristics of the next school superintendent.
Far from being "minimal requirements," we believe "demonstrated success in some leadership role in an educational setting" and "a ... record of good human relations and communication skills" are exactly the features Saline schools should be looking for.
Add to the list "honesty, and personal and professional integrity," and this becomes a tall order (just ask the mayor of Detroit). Thankfully, we already have someone in our midst who fits the bill with room to spare, someone who can restore Saline schools to its former excellence.
Scot Graden has consistently served this school system with skill and soundness of mind. Because he generously accords it to others, he commands respect.
Why look any further for a superintendent when a person of ability and honor sits right under our noses?
