Saline Singularity Programming sub-team members during build week 6

Saline FIRST Robotic Team 5066 was ready for us to take a look at who and what will drive its latest competition entry

February 13, 2019

In many ways, the Saline Singularity Programming sub-team could be seen as microcosm for our high school FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) team as a whole. A blend of Freshmen to Seniors, newcomers along side those who’d previously cut teeth in the middle school LEGO League, and students who’d walked into this thing without a lick of experience in any aspect of it. [1-3] Now in week 6 of their robot build, Saline Journal sat down ....

March 19, 2018

Imagine suggesting this as a solution to one of the top concerns of Saline main street businesses: Eliminate all parking spaces and look for patrons to drive their cars more often.

This compares to 600 to 1,600 persons per ....

Perhaps on your way to one of the casinos in downtown Detroit. Certainly if you’ve every had a stake in the automobile industry. [2] One might imagine that much of the ....

Formal Saline Area Chamber of Commerce new “Chamber 2.0” launch put an indelible emphasis on its “Area” mission

February 22, 2019

As positioning goes, casting the future of our well-established Saline Area Chamber of Commerce (SACC) now as “Chamber 2.0” set the bar on expectations rather high, indeed. [1] When our own chamber was first established in 1975, such outfits were largely seen as first point-of-contact for visitors and incoming enterprises. Cheerleaders. Then repositories of expertise for counsel and liaison where needed. They could serve as unified voice on behalf of stakeholders. [2] And within their ....
