Ocean
View Elementary Students win 2nd place in Lego League
State Tournament.
Congratulations to the talented students who took 2nd
place in the First Lego League State Tournament . Challenged
with the task of “exploring existing sciences
at the molecular level”, the students had to develop
a product, or improve an existing product. With the
help of Zyvex, the students created a concept for a
new line of ice hockey skates, Buckyblades, that have
a composite blade made with carbon nanotubes that do
not need to be sharpened. The picture below shows the
three trophies they won for their project (Robot Design,
Teamwork, and 2nd Place). [December

Zyvex
founder attends Buffalo Roundup.
Jim Von Ehr attended the Buffalo Roundup with South
Dakota Governor Mike Rounds. Custer State Park in the
beautiful Black Hills is a 71,000 acre park. It is also
home to one of the world’s largest bison herds:
1,500 strong. Each year, the ground rumbles and the
dust flies as cowboys, cowgirls and park crews saddle
up to bring in the thundering herd. No, Jim wasn’t
part of the crew, but he did get close enough to get
this great picture. [October
