In the meantime, have a nice and slow Fourth of July weekend

Letter to Icon viewers:

The Icon wishes all viewers a happy and long Fourth of July weekend. Our own celebration begins a little early, as we will take a few days off between now and the first of the week. Don’t worry, stories will continue to appear, only on a slower schedule. And, some regular features take the week off.

In the meantime, please consider yourself invited as our special guests to a free and open-to-the-public Icon summer party.

Little Riley Creek Farm's chickens test ingenuity of 5 ONU engineering seniors

FROM ONU FACEBOOK - In three years of engineering courses at Ohio Northern University, Anne Major’s professors continually stressed the importance of seeing things firsthand.

And then, one pleasant fall evening her senior year, sitting on a lawn chair in the middle of a rural Bluffton farm field watching chickens enter a coop at sunset, Major got it. Because, quite frankly, the chickens weren’t behaving at all how she’d expected.

Major was observing chicken behavior for her senior engineering capstone project.
