From the road, it doesn't look like much. An unpaved driveway wind~ around several trees and a sign proclaim­ ing this plot of land as "Pine Hill Farms." But go around the bend just a bit and an impressive home - built by hand by its original owner - comes into view. The house, as beautiful as it is with its stone steps and classic design, is not what the typical visitor comes to check out. No, visitors come to see the prehistoric-looking birds that live out back.

They come for the emus. Pine Hill Farms is a bit of an international phe­ nomenon located just off of Welsh Tract Road. The owner, Olivia Palo, grows Shiitake mush­ rooms from Japan and emus from Australia, all on what was originally her Finnish chicken farm. "It's really quite international," jokes her daughter and farm operator, Carolyn Palo. While there is a lot going on at Pine Hills, the emus are thefarm 's pride and joy. The birds, which stand at an impressive 5 and a half feet tall, have the run of the back half of the farm. Their pens cover much of the property, and for good reason.

A team of engineering students from the University of Delaware designed an industrial machine for Precision AirConvey, a Newark manufacturer of wask!-handling systems and equipment for the plastics, converting, label, paper, recycling and other industries. The four students, Mac Cushing, Jeff Errickson, Dan Fitzpatrick an'd Rich Slack, teamed with Precision AirConvey's engineers and the company's customer to simulate the scenario a young engineer is likely to experience as part of a design team working in the industry. The result is the PAC Roll Splitter, which automatically removes waste paper, plastic, foil and other materials from defec­ tive and out of spec rolls.
