Community takes a closer look at Reed City robotics

By Ben Glick
Weekly Voice

REED CITY — Reed

City’s robotic teams dem-
onstrated their technical
talent to the community at
an event earlier this week.
The first Robotics Com-
munity Night took place
at Reed City High School,
which showcased the ac-
tivities of robotics teams
over the school year and to
generate interest among
the student body with ac-
tivities.
Young students got to
pilot the machines built by
the high school and middle
school teams and talked
to current members about
what they learned.
The Reed City High
School robotics team presi-
dent Jade Ebels said it was
a good opportunity to get
students of all ages excited
about the team and about
science, technology, engi-
neering and mathematics.
Ebels has been heavily
involved in the robotics
team and, as a senior, ad-
vised younger students
interested in getting in-
volved to take advantage
of the program.
“Because the more that
I’ve done and the more I
put into the program, the
more I’ve gotten out of it,”
Ebels said.
Besides the technical
expertise she picked up
while on the team, Ebels
said she learned a lot

about leadership, organi-

tion.
Also making their ap-
pearance was the elemen-
tary robotics team, which
started last fall.
The team showed off
their machines made of
Lego, which used a com-
puterized, programmable
motor to drive them.
Despite nearly none of

graders having experience

a predetermined path.
Most teams build and
program their robot over
a few months, meeting
around twice a week. But
the elementary students,
after hitting a snag earlier
in the fall, completed their

of just three weeks. Ben Glick | Weekly Voice

Osceola County avoids emergencies from flooding, fires

By Alexander Sinn
Weekly Voice
REED CITY — Amid unsea-
sonably high temperatures
nearing 80 degrees in the final
two days of April, wildfires
erupted across the state.
A red flag warning for dry
weather proved prescient as a
wild fire engulfed roughly 50
acres in Wexford County’s Har-
ing Township, north of Cadil-
lac. About 105 acres were con-
sumed by flames in Newaygo
County.
Osceola County was fortu-
nate to avoid any such major
fires, according to Mark Wat-
kins, the county’s emergency
management director. There
were many smaller fires across
the region, but none that di-
rectly activate the EMD, he
explained.
None of the county’s depart-
ments were involved in the
Newaygo County blaze, he said,
though the Michigan Depart-
ment of Emergency Manage-
ment activated personnel
across the state.
Along the Muskegon River
basin, which runs through
the county, annual flooding
is a common occurrence for
residents. Despite near-record
snowfalls in April, the county
did not receive the major flood-
ing that can cause road clos-
ings and damage properties,
Watkins explained.
“Spring rains only cause us
concern at that interface be-
tween the end of winter and
spring, usually because of the
fact that the ground is still
cold, snowmelt and the combi-
nation of spring rain that over-
whelms riverbeds,” he said.
Despite some issues following
heavy rain this winter, he said,
it is “less likely” that major
flooding will impact the county
now that snow has melted.
The department and fire de-
partments closely monitor fire
danger, he added, which can oc-
cur with prolonged warm and
dry conditions.
