How do you mix several flavors of popcorn into many buckets?

Posted by Fred Steiner on April 7, 2015 - 6:13pm

 By Monty Siekerman, Ada Icon
How do you mix several flavors into many buckets of popcorn?

You ask ONU mechanical engineering students to invent a process that will save time and money and results in less waste.

As a senior capstone project, four students took on the challenge last fall at the request of Pete Suter, the owner of Shirley's Popcorn in Bluffton.

They designed and built a system for measuring and dispensing the ingredients into small packages which are sealed for use on demand.

Letter: 50th anniversary celebration of BHS street painting this year

Posted by Fred Steiner on April 7, 2015 - 4:26pm

Icon Viewers:

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the "Painting of the Street" in front of the high school.  As one of the original "artists" I'm considering getting the band back together. We could just show up that day and enjoy the tradition that it has become; from it humble and clandestine beginnings.

I do not know the date of this year's festivities.  Can yIcon viewers help me with that?  Also, I have not mentioned this to the other band members.

Thanks for your help.
