Village Voice: Village brush pick up/chipping service scheduled April 6

Posted by Fred Steiner on Monday, March 30, 2015

Have the winds of this winter helped ‘trim’ a few of your trees? Do you need to have some limbs picked up and chipped? Now is your chance!

The Village will conduct a monthly service of brush pick up/chipping and pick up on Monday, April 6.

One of the goals of brush chipping and pickup is to keep the tree lawn areas of the Village clear of debris, so that debris litter does not enter the storm sewer system. Brush or storm debris in the tree lawn area may be picked up by the Village, and residents may place additional brush for chipping in that area. Hired tree trimmers must clean up their own debris; the Village will not pick up brush left by commercial cutters.

Gentlemen, start your Baja car engines

Posted by Monty Siekerman on Sunday, March 29, 2015

ONU students design, build, test, and race a Baja car. And, they do it as a club...no academic credit...just the joy of learning and competing.

A couple of years ago the local team ranked third in points on the international level. The Baja Race Series has more than 100 teams and is sanctioned by the Society of Automotive Engineers. 

In April and May they will race in three states from coast to coast. Working on the project is open to all students, although civil and mechanical engineering students seem to be in the majority.
