A couple of high school students pose near a partially submerged golf Frisbee goal near the water retention basin at ONU. It will be a while before that game is played in spite of 24-hour pumping to lower the basin level because more storms were predicted for Sunday afternoon. Most of the campus remains high and dry even though huge amounts of rain have fallen over the past several weeks. (Monty Siekerman photo)

¼ cup water
4 large eggs

2 teaspoons cornmeal
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
½ teaspoon table salt
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Place pastry into a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate, folding edges under, and crimp.
The "buzz" in town is that it's 10 behives. Where? On campus? Perhaps. Read on.
The hives are established to provide more honey bees to the area. For several reasons, the number of honey bees throughout the U.S. has dwindled at an alarming rate in recent years.
We need these pollinators for farm crops and flowers. Hopefully, these healthy hives will help pollinate area plants.
In the future, a wildflower area may be developed on campus; bees will be helpful then, as well.
