Dr. John K. Estell, Ohio Northern University professor of computer engineering and computer science, and ONU student David Reeping, a senior in engineering education from Richfield, Ohio, were recipients of the Best Paper Award, Third Place, from the First-Year Programs Division of the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) during the 122nd ASEE Annual Conference held June 14-17 in Seattle, Wash.
The stereotype of country living is that everyone knows everyone else’s business. That didn’t hold true for neighbors of a new pig barn being built in Hancock County, less than a quarter mile from Hardin County resident Liz Vogt.
“I walk their creek,” she said of the Daft family farm. “I saw that [crews] were digging. I thought I’d go up and see what they were doing. I thought, wouldn’t it be nice if they were building a new barn."
That thought quickly vanished when Vogt learned from construction workers that Bo Daft was indeed building a new barn — a pig barn — for up to 2,500 pigs.
AEP provided The Icon with the following weather alert for today and Tuesday (June 22-23).
Two rounds of severe thunderstorms are expected to impact northwestern Ohio
this afternoon and tonight. Both rounds have the potential to cause widespread wind damage.
Round 1 This afternoon-early evening: At 9 a.m. radar shows a complex of severe thunderstorms racing across eastern Minnesota/eastern Iowa. This will reach northern Indiana as a squall line (gusts up to 80 mph) early this afternoon.
Ada Public Library summer reading program turned into a science experiment this week. Looks to us like owl pellets are being disected. We could be wrong, however.
